DEAR SHAREHOLDERS, 

I am pleased to report to you that Pinnacle Bankshares Corporation, the one-bank holding company for First 
National  Bank,  completed  a  very  successful  year  during  2016,  generating  the  highest  core  operating  net 
income  in  the  history  of  the  Company  and  experiencing  significant  improvement  in  the  trading  price  of  our 
stock.  Our ability to enhance performance during 2016 hinged on growth and I am proud of the way our team 
of dedicated financial professionals delivered.  Commitment to processes, attention to details, focus on vision 
and a desire to continually improve have positioned First National to be recognized as the premier community 
bank across Central Virginia.       

Pinnacle’s overall net income for 2016 was $3,004,000, including a $266,000 gain derived from our sale of the 
Bank’s prior Old Forest Road Branch.  Core net income for 2016 was $2,829,000, excluding the gain, which 
represents  a  $323,000  or  13%  increase  as  compared  to  core  net  income  generated  in  2015.    This  level  of 
earnings surpasses the Company’s previous high of $2,600,000, achieved in 2007 prior to the great recession, 
and  marks  the  eighth  straight  year  of  core  net  income  improvement.    Profitability  as  measured  by  the 
Company’s return on average assets was 0.76% for 2016, which is a 2 basis points increase as compared to 
2015, and was achieved while growing assets 19%. 

Net  interest  income  was  the  driver  of  improved  financial  performance,  increasing  $1,130,000  in  2016  as  a 
result of over $35,000,000 in loan growth.  Our Commercial, Dealer and Retail Divisions all contributed to the 
increase in loan production, enabling the Bank to maintain appropriate diversification within the loan portfolio 
and  remain  well  below  regulatory  guidance  regarding  concentrations  of  construction,  acquisition  and 
development, and non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans.   

Even  more  impressive  was  our  deposit  growth  of  over  $67,000,000  during  2016,  consisting  primarily  of 
demand deposits and other transaction accounts, which enabled the Bank to fund its loan growth at a low cost 
while  preserving  desired  liquidity.    We  continue  to  focus  on  the  expansion  of  core  deposit  relationships, 
including consumer and small business, and were successful in attracting larger commercial depositors during 
2016 due to our electronic delivery channels and cash management expertise.  Our deposit gathering success is 
also attributed to the trust and confidence that the Central Virginia market has in our institution.    

Asset quality further strengthened during 2016 with all major indicators moving in a positive direction.  Non-
performing loans to total loans and non-performing assets to total assets were both below .50% as of December 
31, 2016, resulting in a provision for loan losses of only $87,000 for the year even with our robust loan growth.  
The  allowance  for  loan  losses  balance  as  of  year-end  was  $2,898,000,  which  was  377%  of  non-performing 
loans as compared to 208% of non-performing loans as of the end of 2015.  This level of allowance is viewed 
as being sufficient to cushion the Bank from potential future losses associated with problem loans.    

Non-interest  income  totaled  $3,896,000  with  core  non-interest  income  increasing  $191,000  in  2016,  net  of 
gains recognized on the sale of real estate and investments, as compared to 2015’s non-interest income, net of 
income derived from an accounting change that year.  As a percentage of year-end assets, non-interest income 
was  .89%  with  First  National  continuing  to  rank  favorably  as  compared  to  other  peer  community  banks  in 
regard to this revenue stream.  Our diverse sources of non-interest income include interchange fees from check 
card  activity,  nonsufficient  funds  and  overdraft  fees,  fees  generated  from  the  sale  of  mortgage  loans,  and 
commissions and fees from investments and insurance sales. 

Higher net interest income and non-interest income combined with a relatively low provision offset a $983,000 
increase  in  non-interest  expense  for  the  year,  which  was  primarily  due  to  an  11%  increase  in  salaries  and 
employee  benefits  driven  by  increased  salaries  and  pension  expenses  and  an  employee  bonus  paid  during 
December.  New positions added during 2015 to facilitate growth in 2016 contributed to the increase; however, 
we do not anticipate additional personnel will be required to meet near term growth objectives.  The bonus was 
the  first  incentive  plan  payout  since  2008  and  was  approved  by  the  Board  based  on  its  assessment  of  the 
Company’s financial performance, strategic progress and overall risk profile.

Pinnacle’s  total  assets  as  of  December  31,  2016  were  $440,104,000,  an  increase  of  approximately  19%  as 
compared  to  the  end  of  2015.    As  mentioned,  loans  grew  over  $35,000,000  or  11%  to  $341,321,000,  while 
cash and cash equivalents grew $31,000,000 or 188% to $48,174,000.  The Bank’s securities portfolio totaled 
$27,569,000  as  of  December  31,  2016,  which  was  relatively  unchanged  compared  to  the  prior  year-end.  
However, trading activity was elevated as we restructured the portfolio with an objective of increasing its yield 
without materially increasing credit or interest rate risk.  Total liabilities were $403,555,000 as of year-end and 
were almost entirely comprised of deposits, which grew 20% to $399,743,000.   

Stockholders’ equity as of December 31, 2016 was $36,549,000, representing an increase of $1,767,000 or 5% 
as compared to the prior year-end.  Pinnacle and First National Bank remain “well capitalized” per all current 
regulatory definitions and meet applicable Basel III capital standards.  Our Total Risk Based Capital Ratio fell 
to  11.67%  as  of  December  31,  2016  as  compared  to  12.41%  as  of  the  prior  year-end  due  to  our  material 
growth.    It  is  our  current  objective  to  support  future  growth  through  improved  profitability  and  retained 
earnings.   

We  are  pleased  to  be  on  schedule  with  our  Lynchburg  Market  Plan,  which  is  intended  to  increase  First 
National  Bank’s  presence  and  visibility  across  Central  Virginia  to  facilitate  growth  of  assets  and  enhance 
shareholder returns.  The Bank opened its newly renovated Timberlake Branch on May 18, 2016 and its newly 
relocated Old Forest Road Branch on July 6, 2016.  Response from the community regarding these projects has 
been  extremely  positive  with  both  offices  experiencing  increased  loans  and  deposits  during  2016.  
Additionally,  construction  of  the  new Odd  Fellows  Road  Branch/Lynchburg  Headquarters  building  began  in 
third quarter of 2016 and is scheduled to be completed in September of 2017.  This facility will contain our 
ninth  branch  office  and  allow  us  to  vacate  leased  office  space  in  the  Wyndhurst  area  of  Lynchburg.    Our 
Altavista Main Office will remain the Company’s corporate headquarters with the functions performed there 
remaining  in  place.    In  fact,  we  recently  started  a  planned  renovation  of  our Altavista  Main  Office  lobby  to 
give it a more modern look and feel.   

Your  Board  and  Management  Team  are  extremely  pleased  that  our  hard  work  and  efforts  have  resulted  in 
improved returns to our shareholders.  Pinnacle has paid a cash dividend for eighteen straight quarters and the 
amount  of  annual  cash  dividends  paid  increased  12%  to  $0.38  per  share  in  2016  as  compared  to  $0.34  per 
share in 2015.  We are even more excited that the trading price of Pinnacle’s stock ended the year at $28.88, 
representing  an  increase  of  47%  compared  to  the  end  of  2015  and  the  highest  share  price  in  ten  years.  
Pinnacle’s total return for 2016 was 49.38% as compared to the SNL U.S. Bank Index’s total return of 26.35%.  
The  index  is  comprised  of  over  250  banks  across  the  nation,  including  a  number  of  Virginia  community 
banking  organizations.    While  financial  stocks  as  a  whole  have  benefited  from  the  anticipated  impact  of 
President Trump’s expected pro-business agenda and the potential for further interest rate increases, we believe 
Pinnacle’s year-end price, at approximately 122% of tangible book value per share, is just beginning to reflect 
your Company’s underlying value.   

To hear more about the performance and direction of Pinnacle Bankshares Corporation, please plan to attend 
our Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held at 11:00 a.m., Tuesday, April 11, 2017 in the Fellowship 
Hall of Altavista Presbyterian Church, located at 707 Broad Street, Altavista, Virginia.  We are hopeful that 
you will be able to join us for this occasion. 

As always, thank you for your support, confidence and the opportunity to serve your interests as President and 
Chief Executive Officer of Pinnacle Bankshares Corporation. 

Sincerely, 

Aubrey H. Hall, III “Todd” 
President & Chief Executive Officer

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements 

The following discussion is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed information and the consolidated financial 
statements  and  accompanying  notes  appearing  elsewhere  in  this  Annual  Report.  In  addition  to  the  historical 
information contained herein, this Annual Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the 
Private  Securities  Litigation  Reform  Act  of  1995.  Forward-looking  statements,  which  are  not  statements  of 
historical  fact  and  are  based  on  certain  assumptions  and  describe  future  plans,  strategies,  and  expectations  of 
management,  are  generally  identifiable  by  use  of  words  such  as  “believe,”  “expect,”  “intend,”  “anticipate,” 
“estimate,” “project,” “may,” “will” or similar expressions. These forward-looking statements may include, but are 
not limited to, anticipated future financial performance, impairment of goodwill, funding sources including cash 
generated  by  banking  operations,  loan  portfolio  composition,  trends  in  asset  quality  and  strategies  to  address 
nonperforming  assets and nonaccrual loans,  adequacy  of  the  allowance  for  loan  losses and future provisions  for 
loan losses, securities portfolio composition and future performance, interest rate environments, deposit insurance 
assessments, and strategic business initiatives. 

Although  we  believe  our  plans,  intentions  and  expectations  reflected  in  these  forward-looking  statements  are 
reasonable, we can give no assurance that these plans, intentions, or expectations will be achieved. Our ability to 
predict  results  or  the  actual  effect  of  future  plans  or  strategies  is  inherently  uncertain,  and  actual  results, 
performance or achievements could differ materially from those contemplated in any forward-looking statements. 
Factors that could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects include, but are not limited 
to, changes in: the effectiveness of management’s efforts to maintain asset quality and control operating expenses; 
the quality, composition and growth of the loan and investment portfolios; interest rates; decrease in net interest 
margin;  real  estate  values  in  our  market  area;  general  economic  and  financial  market  conditions;    levels  of 
unemployment in our market area; the legislative/regulatory climate, including regulatory initiatives with respect to 
financial institutions, products and services in accordance with the Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform Act (the “Dodd 
Frank  Act”)  and  otherwise;  the  Consumer  Financial  Protection  Bureau  and  its  regulatory  and  enforcement 
activities; and the application of the Basel III capital standards to the Company and the Bank; monetary and fiscal 
policies of the U.S. government, including policies of the U.S. Treasury and the Board of Governors of the Federal 
Reserve System; our ability to timely implement the Lynchburg Market Plan; demand for loan products; deposit 
flows; competition and demand for financial services in our market area; regulatory compliance costs; accounting 
principles, policies and guidelines; and an increase in shareholders that would require the Company to be subject to 
the reporting obligations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These risks and uncertainties should 
be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements contained herein.  We base our forward-looking statements 
on management's beliefs and assumptions based on information available as of the date of this report. You should 
not place undue reliance on such statements, because the assumptions, beliefs, expectations and projections about 
future events on which they are based may, and often do, differ materially from actual events and, in many cases, 
are  outside  of  our  control.   We  undertake  no  obligation  to  update  any  forward-looking  statement  to  reflect 
developments occurring after the statement is made.

Bankshares is headquartered in Altavista, Virginia. Bankshares conducts all of its business activities through the

In 2014, the Bank developed a Lynchburg Market Plan in an effort to increase its presence and visibility in Central 
Virginia.  The plan included renovation and expansion of the Bank’s Timberlake Branch and relocation of its Old 
Forest  Road  Branch  to  a  new  facility  on  Old  Forest  Road.    The  Bank  opened  its  newly  renovated  Timberlake 
Branch on May 18, 2016 and its newly relocated Old Forest Road Branch on July 6, 2016.  The plan also included 
the construction of a new branch / Lynchburg headquarters building on Odd Fellows Road.  Construction is under 
way  for  this  new  facility  with  an  expected  completion  date  of  September  2017.    Completion  of  the  project  will 
allow positions currently housed in the Wyndhurst administrative and training facility to be moved to Odd Fellows 
Road and alleviate space shortages at several branches.  First National Bank’s Altavista Main Office will remain 
the Company’s corporate headquarters.   

A total of one-hundred five full and part-time staff members serve the Bank’s customers. 

With  an  emphasis  on  personal  service,  the  Bank  today  offers  a  broad  range  of  commercial  and  retail  banking 
products  and  services  including  checking,  savings  and  time  deposits,  individual  retirement  accounts,  merchant 
bankcard  processing,  residential  and  commercial  mortgages,  home  equity  loans,  consumer  installment  loans, 
agricultural  loans,  investment  loans,  small  business  loans,  commercial  lines  of  credit  and  letters  of  credit.    The 
Bank  also  offers  a full  range  of  investment,  insurance  and  annuity  products through  its  association  with  Infinex 
Investments,  Inc.  and  Banker’s  Insurance,  LLC.    The  Bank  has  two  wholly-owned  subsidiaries:  FNB  Property 
Corp., which holds title to future Bank premises real estate as needed; and First Properties, Inc., which holds title 
to other real estate owned acquired through foreclosures. 

Results of Operations 

The Company had net income of $3,004 for the year ended December 31, 2016, compared to net income of $2,740 
for the year ended December 31, 2015, an increase of 9.64%.  This increase in net income was driven mainly by a 
$1,130, or  9.04% increase in net interest income, a $165 or 4.42% increase in noninterest income and a $42, or 
32.56% decrease in provision for loan losses. These positive factors that contributed to the increase in net income 
were partially offset by a $983, or 8.15% increase in noninterest expense.    

Net  interest  income  increased  as  net  interest  margin  grew  from  3.63%  in  2015  to  3.70%  in  2016.    Noninterest 
income increased mainly due to a gain of $266 on the sale of property, a $77 increase in mortgage loan fees and a 
gain of $62 on the sale of securities.  The Company also experienced small increases in commissions and loan fees.  
In 2015, the Company recognized $354 in Bankers Insurance income as the Company adopted the equity method 
of accounting for the investment in the limited liability corporation that had previously been accounted for under 
the cost method as an investment.  See note 1(e) “Change in Accounting Method” of the “Notes to Consolidated 
Financial  Statements”  for  additional  information.    Noninterest  expense  increased  as  salaries  and  commissions 
increased by $509.  This increase included an employee bonus payment of $151. The defined benefit plan expense 
increased  by  $67  to  $206  in  2016.  The  defined  benefit  plan  expense  is  expected  to  increase  to  $330  in  2017.  
Provision for loan losses decreased due to an improvement in asset quality.   

We expect continued gains in net income for 2017 due to growth of earning assets and the December 2016 interest 
rate increase; as well as the continued success of our Lynchburg Market Plan.  The Company is well positioned if 
interest  rates  continue  to  increase  in  2017,  which  would  improve  our  yield  on  earnings  assets.    We  expect  an 
increase in noninterest income in 2017 with the increase in assets that was realized in 2016.  Finally, we expect an 
increase in noninterest expense in 2017 due to depreciation on new facilities, expected normal increases in salaries 
and an increase in our defined benefit plan expense as referenced previously.  

Profitability as measured by the Company’s return on average assets (“ROA”) was 0.76% in 2016, compared to 
0.74% in 2015.  Return on average equity (“ROE”), was 8.38% for 2016, compared to 8.12% for 2015. 

Total  assets as  of  December 31,  2016  were  $440,104,  up  18.54%  from  $371,261  as of  December 31, 2015. The 
principal components of the Company’s assets at the end of the year were $48,174 in cash and cash equivalents, 
$27,569 in  securities  and $338,423 in  net loans.  During  the  year ended  December 31,  2016, net  loans increased 
11.62%, or $35,224 and securities increased $421, or 1.55%.  

Total liabilities as of December 31, 2016 were $403,555, up 19.93% from $336,479 as of December 31, 2015, due 
to an increase in total deposits of $67,340, or 20.26%, to $399,743 as of December 31, 2016 from $332,403 as of

December 31, 2015. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits increased $25,216, or 42.82% and represented 21.04% 
of  total  deposits  as  of  December 31,  2016,  compared  to  17.72%  as  of  December 31,  2015.  Savings  and  NOW 
accounts  increased  $43,568,  or  25.41%  and  represented  53.78%  of  total  deposits  as  of  December  31,  2016, 
compared to 51.57% as of December 31, 2015.  Time deposits decreased $1,444 or 1.41% and represented 25.17% 
of total deposits as of December 31, 2016, compared to 30.71% as of December 31, 2015. The Company’s deposits 
are provided by individuals and businesses primarily located within the communities served.  The Company had no 
brokered deposits as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. 

Total stockholders’ equity as of December 31, 2016 was $36,549, including $32,865 in retained earnings. As of 
December 31, 2015, stockholders’ equity totaled $34,782, including $30,442 in retained earnings.  The increase in 
stockholders’  equity  resulted  mainly  from  the  Company’s  net  income  of  $3,004  partially  offset  by  dividends  of 
$581 paid to shareholders. 

Net  Interest  Income.    The  net  interest  spread  increased  to  3.58%  for  the  year  ended  December 31,  2016  from 
3.50% for the year ended December 31, 2015. Yield on earning assets was 4.10% and cost of funds was 0.52% for 
the year ended December 31, 2016 as compared to a yield on earning assets of 4.09% and a cost of funds of 0.59% 
for the year ended December 31, 2015.  In 2016, the Company’s yield on earning assets increased slightly due to 
higher loan volume and the Company’s cost of funds declined as deposits repriced at lower rates due to the further 
decline  in  volume  of  higher-cost  time  deposits  and  the  increase  in  volume  of  lower-cost  demand,  savings  and 
NOW deposits.   

The net interest margin increased to 3.70% for the year ended December 31, 2016 from 3.63% for the year ended 
December  31,  2015  as  the  cost  to  fund  earning  assets  was  0.40%  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2016  as 
compared to the cost to fund earning assets of 0.46% for the year ended December 31, 2015.  Net interest income 
was $13,635 for the year ended December 31, 2016, compared to $12,505 for the year ended December 31, 2015, 
and is attributable to interest income from loans, interest from correspondent banks and the Federal Reserve and 
securities exceeding the cost associated with interest paid on deposits and other borrowings.  

Provision for Loan Losses.  The provisions for loan losses for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were 
$87 and $129, respectively. The provision for loan losses decreased in 2016 and has remained at a low level since 
2013, as the Company continues to strengthen its asset quality.  The provision for loan losses decreased $42 from 
2015 to 2016 as criticized and classified loans declined due to the continued success of an aggressive asset quality 
improvement  plan  implemented  in  2011.    The  Company  expects  to  maintain  the  quality  of  its  loan  portfolio  in 
2017.  

Noninterest Income.  Total noninterest income for the year ended December 31, 2016 increased $165, or 4.42%, 
to $3,896 from $3,731 in 2015 mainly due to a gain of $266 on the sale of property, a $77 increase in mortgage 
loan  fees  and  a  gain  of  $62  on  the  sale  of  securities.    The  Company  also  experienced  small  increases  in 
commissions,  loan  fees  and  interchange  fees.    In  2015,  the  Company  recognized  $354  in  income  from  Bankers 
Insurance using the equity method.  See Note 1(e) “Change in Accounting Method” of the “Notes to Consolidated 
Financial  Statements”  for  additional  information.    The  Company’s  principal  sources  of  noninterest  income  are 
service charges and fees on deposit accounts, particularly transaction accounts, interchange fees from debit cards, 
fees  on  sales  of  mortgage  loans,  and  commissions  and  fees  from  investment,  insurance,  annuity  and  other  bank 
products.  Noninterest  income  exclusive  of  the  gains  on  sale  of  property  and  securities  and  the  equity  method 
income recognized in 2015 increased $191, or 5.66% to $3,568.  The increase in 2016 is primarily attributable to a 
$77, or 17.91% increase in mortgage loan fees, a $19, or 4.49% increase in commissions and fees, and a $39, or 
15.66% increase in service charges on loan accounts. 

Noninterest Expense.  Total noninterest expense for the year ended December 31, 2016 increased $983, or 8.15%, 
to  $13,044  from  $12,061  in  2015.  The  increase  in  noninterest  expense  is  primarily  due  to  a  $692,  or  10.79%, 
increase in salary and employee benefits as salaries and commissions increased $509, or 9.75% and defined benefit 
plan expense increased $67 to $206 in 2016 from $139 in 2015.   Salaries included an employee bonus payment of 
$151  in  2016.    Also,  occupancy  expense  increased  $42,  or  6.05%,  capital  stock  tax  increased  $14,  or  6.28%, 
furniture and equipment increased $7, or1.00% and advertising expense increased $4, or 2.09%.  Other operating 
expenses  increased  $251,  or  7.40%  due  to  increases  in  fees  paid  to  directors,  dealer  contract  purchase  expense, 
core  system  provider  expenses  and  loan  fees  paid.    These  increases  were  partially  offset  by  a  $10,  or  5.21% 
decrease in office supplies and printing and a $17, or 6.67% decrease in Federal Deposit Insurance Premiums.

Income Tax Expense. Applicable income taxes on 2016 earnings amounted to $1,396, resulting in an effective tax 
rate of 31.73% compared to $1,306, and an effective tax rate of 32.28%, in 2015.   

Investment Portfolio 

Investment securities as of December 31, 2016 totaled $27,569, an increase of $421, or 1.55% from $27,148 as of 
December 31,  2015.  Investment  securities  held-to-maturity  decreased  to  $3,727  as  of  December 31,  2016  from 
$5,073  as  of  December 31,  2015,  a  decrease  of  $1,346,  or  26.53%.    Available-for  sale  investments  increased  to 
$23,842  as  of  December  31,  2016  from  $22,075  as  of  December  31,  2015,  an  increase  of  $1,767,  or  8.00%.  
Investments increased slightly as purchases outpaced sales, maturities and paydowns in 2016. 

Loan Portfolio 

The  Company’s  net  loans  were  $338,423  as  of  December 31,  2016,  an  increase  of  $35,224,  or  11.62%,  from 
$303,199 as of December 31, 2015. This increase resulted from a $13,324 increase in commercial loans, a $9,067 
increase consumer loans, and a $12,906 increase in real estate loan originations during 2016. The Company’s ratio 
of net loans to total deposits was 85.39% as of December 31, 2016 compared to 91.21% as of December 31, 2015 
as deposit growth exceeded loan growth by $32,116.  

Bank Premises and Equipment 

Bank  premises  and  equipment  increased  $2,925,  or  33.35%  in  2016  due  in  part  to  the  completion  of  our 
Timberlake  Branch  renovations,  the  completion  of  our  new  Old  Forest  Road  Branch  and  the  construction  in 
progress  of  our  new  Odd Fellows  Road  Branch and Lynchburg  Headquarters. The  Odd  Fellows  Road  project is 
expected  to  be  completed  by  September  2017.      The  Odd  Fellows  Road  office  will  not  replace  our  Altavista 
headquarters, but will relocate our administrative and training facility currently leased in the Wyndhurst section of 
Lynchburg.    

Deposits 

Average deposits were $356,380 for the year ended December 31, 2016, an increase of $25,367, or 7.66% from 
$331,013  of  average  deposits  for  the  year  ended  December 31,  2015.    As  of  December 31,  2016,  total  deposits 
were $399,743 representing an increase of $67,340, or 20.26%, from $332,403 in total deposits as of December 31, 
2015. The change in deposits during 2016 was primarily due to increased deposit balances in previously existing 
deposit accounts, new deposit accounts opened as a result of new banking relationships, growth at the Company’s 
branch locations and competitive pricing of the Company’s products and services.   

Capital Resources 

The  Company’s  financial  position  as  of  December 31,  2016  reflects  liquidity  and  capital  levels  management 
believes  to  be  currently  adequate  to  support  anticipated  funding  needs  and  budgeted  growth  of  the  Company. 
Capital ratios are in excess of required regulatory minimums for a “well-capitalized” institution. The assessment of 
capital  adequacy  depends  on  a  number  of  factors  such  as  asset  quality,  liquidity,  earnings  performance,  and 
changing  competitive  conditions  and  economic  forces.  The  adequacy  of  the  Company’s  capital  is  reviewed  by 
management 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. 

In July 2013, the Federal Reserve Board approved and published the final Basel III Capital Rules establishing a 
new comprehensive capital framework for U.S. banking organizations. The rules implement the Basel Committee’s 
December  2010  framework  (“Basel  III”)  for  strengthening  international  capital  standards  as  well  as  certain 
provisions  of  the  Dodd  Frank  Act.  The  Basel  III  Capital  Rules,  among  other  things,  (i)  introduce  a  new  capital 
measure  called  “Common  Equity  Tier  1”  (“CET1”),  (ii)  specify  that  Tier  1  capital  consists  of  CET1  and 
“Additional Tier 1 Capital” instruments meeting specified requirements, (iii) define CET1 narrowly by requiring 
that most deductions/adjustments to regulatory capital measures be made to CET1 and not to the other components 
of  capital  and  (iv)  expand  the  scope  of  the  deductions  from  and  adjustments  to  capital  as  compared  to  existing 
regulations. The Basel III Capital Rules were effective for Bankshares and the Bank on January 1, 2015 (subject to 
a phase in period for certain components). CET1 capital for Bankshares and the Bank consists of common stock, 
related paid in capital, and retained earnings. In connection with the adoption of the Basel III Capital Rules, we 
elected to opt out of the requirement to include most components of accumulated other comprehensive income in 
10 

 
 
CET1. CET1 for Bankshares and the Bank is reduced by  goodwill and other intangible assets, net of associated 
deferred tax liabilities and subject to transition provisions. 

Basel III limits capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments if the banking organization does not 
hold a “capital conservation buffer” consisting of 2.50% of CET1 capital, Tier 1 capital and total capital to risk 
weighted assets in addition to the amount necessary to meet minimum risk-based capital requirements. The capital 
conservation  buffer  will  be  phased  in  beginning  January  1,  2016,  at  0.625%  of  risk  weighted  assets,  increasing 
each year until fully implemented at 2.50% on January 1, 2019. When fully phased in on January 1, 2019, Basel III 
will require (i) a minimum ratio of CET1 capital to risk weighted assets of at least 4.50%, plus a 2.50% capital 
conservation buffer, (ii) a minimum ratio of Tier 1capital to risk weighted assets of at least 6.00%, plus the capital 
conservation buffer, (iii) a minimum ratio of total capital to risk weighted assets of at least 8.00%, plus the capital 
conservation  buffer  and  (iv)  a  minimum  leverage  ratio  of  4.00%.  Bankshares  and  the  Bank  continue  to  be  well 
capitalized under the Basel III rules. See Note 12 “Dividend Restrictions and Capital Requirements” of the “Notes 
to Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information. 

The Company’s CET1 and Tier 1 Risk-based Capital Ratio was 10.83% of December 31, 2016. The Total Risk-
based Capital Ratio was 11.68% and the Company’s Tier 1 Leverage Ratio was 8.94% as of December 31, 2016. 
For comparison, the Company’s CET1 and Tier 1 Risk-based Capital Ratio was 11.37% of December 31, 2015. 
The  Total  Risk-based  Capital  Ratio  was  12.32%  and  the  Company’s  Tier  1  Leverage  Ratio  was  9.68%  as  of 
December  31,  2015.  While  still  considered  “well  capitalized”,  capital  levels  have  decreased  due  to  the  18.66% 
growth of the Bank’s assets in 2016. 

Stockholders’  equity  was  $36,549  as  of  December  31,  2016  compared  to  $34,782  as  of  December 31,  2015.  
Dividends paid to shareholders were $0.38 per share paid in 2016 as compared to the $0.34 per share paid in 2015.

PINNACLE BANKSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 
 (In thousands, except ratios, share and per share data) 

(1)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices 

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

The  accounting  and  reporting  policies  of  Bankshares  and  its  wholly  owned  subsidiary  (collectively,  the 
“Company”),  conform  to  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  in  the  United  States  of  America 
(“GAAP”)  and  general  practices  within  the  banking  industry.  The  following  is  a  summary  of  the  more 
significant accounting policies and practices: 

(a)  Consolidation 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bankshares and the Bank. All material 
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. 

(b)  Use of Estimates 

In preparing the consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, management is required 
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the 
dates of the consolidated balance sheets and revenues and expenses for the years ended December 31, 
2016  and  2015.  Actual  results  could  differ  from  those  estimates.    Material  estimates  that  are 
particularly  susceptible  to  significant  changes  in  the  near  term  relate  to  the  determination  of  the 
allowance  for  loan  losses,  payments/obligations  under  benefit  and  pensions  plans,  other  real  estate 
owned and fair value of investments. 

(c) 

Securities 

The Company classifies its securities in three categories: (1) debt securities that the Company has the 
positive  intent  and  ability  to  hold  to  maturity  are  classified  as  “held-to-maturity  securities”  and 
reported at amortized cost; (2) debt and equity securities that are bought and held principally for the 
purpose  of  selling  them  in  the  near  term  are  classified  as  “trading  securities”  and  reported  at  fair 
value, with unrealized gains and losses included in net income; and (3) debt and equity securities not 
classified as either held-to-maturity securities or trading securities are classified as “available-for-sale 
securities” and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from net income and 
reported in accumulated other comprehensive income, a separate component of stockholders’ equity, 
net  of  deferred  taxes.    Fair  value  is  determined  from  quoted  prices  obtained  and  reviewed  by 
management.    Held-to-maturity  securities  are  stated  at  cost,  adjusted  for  amortization  of  premiums 
and accretion of discounts on a basis, which approximates the level yield method. As of December 
31, 2016 and 2015, the Company does not maintain trading securities. Gains or losses on disposition 
are based on the net proceeds and adjusted carrying values of the securities called or sold, using the 
specific identification method on a trade date basis.  

Management  evaluates  securities  for  other-than-temporary  impairment  (“OTTI”)  on  a  least  a 
quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation.  
For  securities  in  an  unrealized  loss  position,  management  considers  the  extent  and  duration  of  the 
unrealized  loss,  and  the  financial  condition  and  near-term  prospects  of  the  issuer.    The  Company 
assesses  OTTI  based  upon  whether  it  intends  to  sell  a  security  or  if  it  is  likely  that  it  would  be 
required to sell the security before recovery of the amortized cost basis of the investment, which may 
be  maturity.  For  debt  securities,  if  the  Company  intends  to  sell  the  security  or  it  is  likely  that  the 
Company will be required to sell the security before recovering its cost basis, the entire impairment 
loss would be recognized in earnings as an OTTI. If the Company does not intend to sell the security 

17 

 
 
and  it  is  not  likely  that  the  Company  will  be  required  to  sell  the  security  but  we  do  not  expect  to 
recover  the  entire  amortized  cost  basis  of  the  security,  only  the  portion  of  the  impairment  loss 
representing credit losses would be recognized in earnings. The credit loss on a security is measured 
as the difference between the amortized cost basis and the present value of the cash flows expected to 
be  collected.  Projected  cash  flows  are  discounted  by  the  original  or  current  effective  interest  rate 
depending  on  the  nature  of  the  security  being  measured  for  potential  OTTI.  The  remaining 
impairment  related  to  all  other  factors,  the  difference  between  the  present  value  of  the  cash  flows 
expected  to  be  collected  and  fair  value,  is  recognized  as  a  charge  to  other  comprehensive  income 
(“OCI”).  Impairment  losses  related  to  all  other  factors  are  presented  as  separate  categories  within 
OCI. For investment securities held to maturity, this amount is accreted over the remaining life of the 
debt  security  prospectively  based  on  the  amount  and  timing  of  future  estimated  cash  flows.  The 
accretion of the amount recorded in OCI increases the carrying value of the investment and does not 
affect  earnings.  If  there  is  an  indication  of  additional  credit  losses  the  security  is  re-evaluated 
according to the procedures described above. 

(d)  Restricted Equity Investments  

As  a  member  of  the  Federal  Reserve  Bank  (“FRB”)  and  the  Federal  Home  Loan  Bank  of  Atlanta 
(“FHLB”), the Company is required to maintain certain minimum investments in the common stock of 
the  FRB  and  FHLB,  which  are  carried  at  cost.  Required  levels  of  investment  are  based  upon  the 
Company’s capital and a percentage of qualifying assets. 

In  addition,  the  Company  is  eligible  to  borrow  from  the  FHLB  with  borrowings  collateralized  by 
qualifying assets, primarily residential mortgage loans, and the Company’s capital stock investment in 
the FHLB.  

Management’s determination of whether these investments are impaired is based on its assessment of 
the  ultimate  recoverability  of  cost  rather  than  by  recognizing  temporary  declines  in  value.  The 
determination of whether a decline affects the ultimate recoverability of cost is influenced by criteria 
such as (1) the significance of any decline in net assets of the FHLB as compared to the capital stock 
amount  for  the  FHLB  and  the  length  of  time  this  situation  has  persisted,  (2)  commitments  by  the 
FHLB to make payments required by law or regulation and the level of such payments in relation to 
the  operating  performance  of  the  FHLB,  (3)  the  impact  of  legislative  and  regulatory  changes  on 
institutions  and,  accordingly,  the  customer  base  of  the  FHLB,  and  (4)  the  liquidity  position  of  the 
FHLB.  

(e)    Change in Accounting Method 

During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company determined that it had the ability to exercise 
significant influence over a limited liability corporation, as the Company’s president was elected to the 
Board  of  Directors  of  the  investee,  therefore,  the  Company  elected  to  adopt  the  equity  method  of 
accounting for the investment that had previously been accounted for as a cost method investment.  In 
conjunction  with  the  change  in  accounting  method,  the  Company  reported  a  $354  gain  on  the 
investment in noninterest income for the year ended December 31, 2015.  There are no such changes in 
accounting methods during the year end December 31, 2016. 

(f)     Borrowings 

As  of  December 31,  2016,  the  Company’s  available  borrowing  limit  with  the  FHLB  was 
approximately  $104,635.  The  Company  had  $0  in  borrowings  from  the  FHLB  outstanding  at 
December 31,  2016  and  2015.    The  Company  also  has  a  $3,000  line  of  credit  commitment  with  no 
outstanding  balance  secured  by  the  authorized  capital  stock  of  the  Bank  with  a correspondent  bank.  
The  Company  has  a  term  loan  with  the  same  correspondent  bank  with  $801  outstanding  as  of 
December 31, 2016 and $1,091 outstanding as of December 31, 2015 with a 5.00% interest rate that 
matures on June 30, 2017. 

(g)  Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses 

Loans are stated at the amount of unpaid principal, reduced by unearned income and fees on loans, and 
an  allowance  for  loan  losses.  Income  is  recognized  over  the  terms  of  the  loans  using  methods  that 

18 

 
 
 
approximate the level yield method. The allowance for loan losses is a cumulative valuation allowance 
consisting  of  an  annual  provision  for  loan  losses,  plus  any  amounts  recovered  on  loans  previously 
charged  off,  minus  loans  charged  off.  The  provision  for  loan  losses  charged  to  operations  is  the 
amount  necessary  in  management’s  judgment  to  maintain  the  allowance  for  loan  losses  at  a  level  it 
believes adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Management determines the 
adequacy  of  the  allowance  based  upon  reviews  of  individual  credits,  recent  loss  experience, 
delinquencies, current economic conditions, the risk characteristics of the various categories of loans 
and  other  pertinent  factors.  Management  uses  historical  loss  data  by  loan  type  as  well  as  current 
economic factors in its calculation of allowance for loan loss.   

Management also uses qualitative factors such as changes in lending policies and procedures, changes 
in  national  and  local  economies,  changes in the nature  and  volume  of the loan portfolio,  changes in 
experience  of  lenders  and  the  loan  department,  changes  in  volume  and  severity  of  past  due  and 
classified loans, changes in quality of the Company’s loan review system, the existence and effect of 
concentrations  of  credit  and  external factors  such  as competition  and  regulation  in  its  allowance  for 
loan  loss  calculation.    Each  qualitative  factor  is  evaluated  and  applied  to  each  type  of  loan  in  the 
Company’s  portfolio and a  percentage  of  each loan  is  reserved as allowance.    A  percentage  of  each 
loan  type  is  also  reserved  according  to  the  loan  type’s  historical  loss  data.  Larger  percentages  of 
allowance are taken as the risk for a loan is determined to be greater.  Loans are charged against the 
allowance for loan losses when management believes the principal is uncollectible.  

While  management  uses  available  information  to  recognize  losses  on  loans,  future  additions  to  the 
allowance  for  loan  losses  may  be  necessary  based  on  changes  in  economic  conditions  or  the 
Company’s recent loss experience.  It is reasonably possible that management’s estimate of loan losses 
and the related allowance may change  materially in the near term.  However, the amount of change 
that is reasonably possible cannot be estimated.  In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral 
part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s allowance for loan losses. Such 
agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance for loan losses based on 
their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examinations. 

Loans are charged against the allowance when, in management’s opinion, they are deemed doubtful, 
although the Company continues to aggressively pursue collection. The Company considers a number 
of factors to determine the need for and timing of charge-offs including the following: whenever any 
commercial loan becomes past due for 120 days for any scheduled principal or interest payment and 
collection is considered unlikely; whenever foreclosure on real estate collateral or liquidation of other 
collateral does not result in full payment of the obligation and the deficiency or some portion thereof is 
deemed  uncollectible,  the  uncollectible  portion  shall  be  charged-off;  whenever  any  installment  loan 
becomes  past  due  for  120  days  and  collection  is  considered  unlikely;  whenever  any  repossessed 
vehicle  remains  unsold  for  60  days  after  repossession;  whenever  a  bankruptcy  notice  is  received  on 
any installment loan and review of the facts results in an assessment that all or most of the balance will 
not  be  collected,  the  loan  will  be  placed  in  non-accrual  status;  whenever  a  bankruptcy  notice  is 
received  on  a  small,  unsecured,  revolving  installment  account;  and  whenever  any  other  small, 
unsecured, revolving installment account becomes past due for 180 days. 

Loans  are  generally  placed  in  non-accrual  status  when  the  collection  of  principal  and  interest  is  90 
days or more past due, unless the obligation relates to a consumer or residential real estate loan or is 
both well-secured and in the process of collection.  All interest accrued but not collected for loans that 
are placed on nonaccrual or charged off is reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans 
is  accounted  for  on  the  cash-basis  or  cost-recovery  method,  until  qualifying  for  return  to  accrual. 
Generally, loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually 
due  are  brought  current  and  future  payments  are  reasonably  assured,  which  usually  requires  a 
minimum of six months of sustained repayment performance. 

Impaired loans  are required  to  be  presented  in  the  financial  statements  at  net  realizable  value  of the 
expected future cash flows or at the fair value of the loan’s collateral. Homogeneous loans such as real 
estate mortgage loans, individual consumer loans and home equity loans are evaluated collectively for 
impairment. Management, considering current information and events regarding the borrower’s ability 
to repay their obligations, considers a loan to be impaired when it is probable that the Company will be 

19 

 
 
  
unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impairment 
losses are included in the allowance for loan losses through a charge to the provision for loan losses. 
Cash  receipts  on  impaired  loans  receivable  are  applied  first  to  reduce  interest  on  such  loans  to  the 
extent of interest contractually due and any remaining amounts are applied to principal. 

Troubled debt restructurings are separately identified for impairment disclosures and are measured at 
the  present  value  of  estimated  future  cash  flows  using  the  loan’s  effective  rate  at  inception.    If  a 
troubled debt restructuring is considered to be a collateral dependent loan, the loan is reported at the 
fair value of the collateral less cost to sell.  For troubled debt restructurings that subsequently default, 
the  Company  determines  the  amount  of  reserve  in  accordance  with  the  accounting  policy  for  the 
allowance for loan losses.   

(h)  Loan Origination and Commitment Fees and Certain Related Direct Costs 

Loan  origination  and  commitment  fees  and  certain  direct  loan  origination  costs  charged  by  the 
Company are deferred and the net amount amortized as an adjustment of the related loan’s yield. The 
Company amortizes these net amounts over the contractual life of the related loans or, in the case of 
demand loans, over the estimated life. Fees related to standby letters of credit are recognized over the 
commitment period.  

(i)  Bank Premises and Equipment 

Bank  premises  and  equipment  are  stated  at  cost,  net  of  accumulated  depreciation.  Depreciation  is 
computed  by  the  straight-line  and  declining-balance  methods  over  the  estimated  useful  lives  of  the 
assets. Depreciable lives include 15 years for land improvements, 39 years for buildings, and 3 to 7 
years  for  equipment,  furniture  and  fixtures.  The  cost  of  assets  retired  and  sold  and  the  related 
accumulated  depreciation  are  eliminated  from  the  accounts  and  the  resulting  gains  or  losses  are 
included in determining net income. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense 
as incurred, and improvements and betterments are capitalized. 

(j)      Bank Owned Life Insurance 

The  Company  has  purchased  life  insurance  policies  on  certain  key  members  of  management.  Bank 
owned life insurance is recorded at the amount that can be realized under the insurance contract at the 
balance sheet date, which is the cash surrender value adjusted for other charges or other amounts due 
that are probable at settlement. 

        (k)       Goodwill 

The  Company  performs  a  goodwill  impairment  analysis  on  an  annual  basis  as  of  December  31st. 
Additionally,  the  Company  performs  a  goodwill  impairment  evaluation  on  an  interim  basis  when 
events or circumstances indicate impairment potentially exists.  During 2016, the Company reviewed 
its goodwill for impairment and determined that goodwill is not impaired.  Management will continue 
to  monitor  the  relationship  of  Bankshares’  market  capitalization  to  both  its  book  value  and  tangible 
book  value,  which  management  attributes  to  both  financial  services  industry-wide  and  Company-
specific factors, and to evaluate the carrying value of goodwill. 

 (l)  Other Real Estate Owned 

Foreclosed properties consist of properties acquired through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure. 
At time of foreclosure, the properties are recorded at the fair value less costs to sell.  Subsequently, 
these properties are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Losses from 
the acquisition of property in full or partial satisfaction of loans are charged against the allowance for 
loan losses. Subsequent write-downs, if any, are charged to expense. Gains and losses on the sales of 
foreclosed properties are included in determining net income in the year of the sale. 

(m) 

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets 

The  Company’s  long-lived  assets  are  reviewed  for  impairment  whenever  events  or  changes  in 
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of 
assets to be held and used, such as bank premises and equipment, is measured by a comparison of the 
carrying  amount  of  an  asset  to  future  net  cash  flows  expected  to  be  generated  by  the  asset.  If  the 

20 

 
 
carrying  amount  of  an  asset  exceeds  its  estimated  future  cash  flows,  an  impairment  charge  is 
recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. 
Assets  to  be  disposed  of,  such  as  foreclosed  properties,  are  reported  at  the  lower  of  the  carrying 
amount or fair value less costs to sell. 

(n)    Pension Plan 

The Company maintains a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan, which covers substantially all 
of its employees. The net periodic pension expense includes a service cost component, interest on the 
projected  benefit  obligation,  a  component  reflecting  the  actual  return  on  plan  assets,  the  effect  of 
deferring and amortizing certain actuarial gains and losses, and the amortization of any unrecognized 
net  transition  obligation  on  a  straight-line  basis  over  the  average  remaining  service  period  of 
employees  expected  to  receive  benefits  under  the  plan.  The  Company’s  funding  policy  is  to  make 
annual contributions in amounts necessary to satisfy the Internal Revenue Service’s funding standards, 
to the extent that they are tax deductible. 

ASC Topic 715, Defined Benefit Pension Plans requires a business entity to recognize the overfunded 
or underfunded status of a single-employer defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability 
in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in comprehensive 
income in the year in which the changes occur.  Defined Benefit Pension Plans also requires a business 
entity  to  measure  the  funded  status  of  a  plan  as  of  the  date  of  its  year-end  statement  of  financial 
position, with limited exceptions.  

(o)     Advertising 

The Company recognizes advertising expenses as incurred.  Advertising expenses totaled $195 in 2016 
compared to $191 in 2015. 

(p) 

Income Taxes 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and 
liabilities  are  recognized  for  the  future  tax  consequences  attributable  to  differences  between  the 
financial  statement  carrying  amounts  of  existing  assets  and  liabilities  and  their  respective  tax  bases. 
Deferred tax  assets  and  liabilities  are  measured  using  enacted  tax  rates  expected  to  apply  to  taxable 
income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The 
effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in net income in the 
period that includes the enactment date. 

Deferred taxes are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more 
likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  When tax returns 
are filed,  it is  highly  certain  that some  positions taken  would  be sustained upon  examination by  the 
taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the 
amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized 
in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management 
believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the 
resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated 
with  other  positions.  Tax  positions  that  meet  the  more-likely-than-not  recognition  threshold  are 
measured  as  the  largest  amount  of  tax  benefit  that  is  more  than  50  percent  likely  of  being  realized 
upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax 
positions  taken  that  exceeds  the  amount  measured  as  described  above  is  reflected  as  a  liability  for 
unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest and 
penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. 

(q)  Stock Options and Restricted Stock 

The Company accounts for its stock based compensation plan by recognizing expense for options and 
restricted stock granted equal to the grant date fair value of the unvested amounts over their remaining 
vesting periods.  There were 8,500 shares of restricted stock granted in 2016 compared to 6,250 shares 
of restricted stock granted in 2015.  There were 37,000 stock options outstanding as of December 31, 
2016  compared  to  42,875  stock  options  outstanding  as  of  December  31,  2015.    Future  levels  of 

21 

 
 
 
compensation cost recognized related to share-based compensation awards may be impacted by new 
awards and/or modification, repurchases and cancellations of existing awards after the adoption of this 
standard.           

(r)  Net Income per Share 

Basic  net  income  per  share  excludes  dilution  and  is  computed  by  dividing  income  available  to 
common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. 
Diluted  net  income  per  share  reflects  the  potential  dilution  that  could  occur  if  securities  or  other 
contracts to issue common stock that are not anti-dilutive were exercised or converted into common 
stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company. 

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

(s)  Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows 

For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on 
hand,  amounts  due  from  banks  (with  original  maturities  of  three  months  or  less),  and  federal  funds 
sold. Generally, federal funds are purchased and sold for one-day periods. 

(t)  Comprehensive Income 

ASC  Topic  220  Comprehensive  Income,  requires  the  Company  to  classify  items  of  “Other 
Comprehensive Income” (such as net unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities) by their 
nature  in  a  financial  statement  and  present  the  accumulated  balance  of  other  comprehensive  income 
separately from retained earnings and additional paid-in capital in the equity section of a statement of 
financial  position.  The  Company’s  other  comprehensive  income  consists  of  net  income,  and  net 
unrealized gains (losses) on securities available-for-sale, net of income taxes, and adjustments relating 
to its defined benefit plan, net of income taxes. 

 (u)      Fair Value Measurements 

ASC  Topic  820,  Fair  Value  Measurements  and  Disclosures  establishes  a  framework  for  using  fair 
value.    It  defines  fair  value  as  the  price  that  would  be  received  to sell an asset or  paid to transfer  a 
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. 

In  accordance  with  Fair  Value  Measurements  and  Disclosures,  the  Company  groups  its  financial 
assets and financial liabilities in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities 
are  traded  and  the  reliability  of  the  assumptions  used  to  determine  fair  value.    The  most  significant 
instruments that the Company measures at fair value are available-for-sale securities.  All  available-
for-sale  securities fall into Level  2  fair  value  hierarchy.    Valuation  methodologies  for  the fair  value 
hierarchy are as follows: 

Level  1  –  Valuations  are  based  on  quoted  prices  for  identical  assets  and  liabilities  traded  in  active 
exchange markets, such as the New York Stock Exchange.   

22 

 
 
 
Level 2 – Valuations for assets and liabilities are obtained from readily available pricing sources via 
independent  providers  for  market  transactions  involving  similar  assets  or  liabilities,  model-based 
valuation techniques, or other observable inputs.   

Level  3  –  Valuations  for  assets  and  liabilities  that  are  derived  from  other  valuation  methodologies, 
including  option  pricing  models,  discounted  cash  flow  models  and  similar  techniques,  and  are  not 
based  on  market  exchange,  dealer,  or  broker  traded  transactions.    Level  3  valuations  incorporate 
certain assumptions and projections in determining fair value assigned to such assets and liabilities.   

(v)    Current Accounting Developments 

In  February  2015,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  2015-02,  "Consolidation  (Topic  810):  Amendments  to  the 
Consolidation  Analysis,"  which  changes  the  way  reporting  enterprises  evaluate  whether  (a)  they 
should consolidate limited partnerships and similar entities, (b) fees paid to a decision maker or service 
provider  are  variable  interests  in  a  variable  interest  entity  (VIE),  and  (c)  variable  interests  in  a  VIE 
held  by  related  parties  of  the  reporting  enterprise  require  the  reporting  enterprise  to  consolidate  the 
VIE.  It  also  eliminates  the  VIE  consolidation  model  based  on  majority  exposure  to  variability  that 
applied  to  certain  investment  companies  and  similar  entities.  ASU  2015-2  is  effective  for  public 
business  entities  for  fiscal  years,  and  interim  periods  within  those  fiscal  years,  beginning  after 
December  15,  2015.    ASU  2015-02  did  not  have  a  material  impact  on  the  Company’s  financial 
statements and related disclosures. 

In  April  2015,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  2015-03,  "Interest—Imputation  of  Interest  (Subtopic  835-30): 
Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs" to modify the presentation of debt issuance costs. 
Prior to ASU 2015-03, issuance costs were presented as an asset on the statement of financial position, 
which the FASB concluded was inconsistent with both IFRS as well as FASB Concept Statement No. 
6.  This  ASU  requires that  issuance  costs  be  presented  as  a  direct  deduction  of  debt  balances  on  the 
statement of financial position, similar to the presentation of debt discounts. ASU 2015-03 is effective 
for public companies for years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those 
fiscal periods. For all other entities, ASU 2015-03 is effective for years beginning after December 15, 
2015  and  interim  periods  within  annual  periods  beginning  after  December  15,  2016,  while  early 
adoption  is  permitted  for  financial  statements  that  have  not  already  been  issued.  Additionally,  the 
provisions should be applied on a retrospective basis as a change in accounting principle. ASU 2015-
03 did not have an impact on the Company's financial statements and related disclosures.  

Subsequent to the issuance of ASU 2015-03, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) staff 
made an announcement regarding the presentation and subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs 
associated  with  line-of-credit  arrangements,  which  were  not  addressed  in  ASU  2015-03.  In  August 
2015,  the  FASB  codified  the  SEC  announcement  in  the  issuance  of  ASU  2015-15,  "Interest  - 
Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance 
Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements." Per ASU 2015-15, for debt issuance costs related 
to  line-of-credit  arrangements,  the  SEC  would  not  object  to  an  entity  deferring  and  presenting  such 
costs  as  an  asset  and  subsequently  amortizing  the  costs  ratably  over  the  term  of  the  line-of-credit 
arrangement,  regardless  of  whether  there  were  any  outstanding  borrowings  on  the  line-of-credit 
arrangement. The SEC Staff guidance is effective upon adoption of ASU 2015-03. ASU 2015-15 does 
not have an impact on the Company's financial statements and related disclosures.  

In  April  2015,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  2015-05,  "Intangibles—Goodwill  and  Other—Internal-Use 
Software  (Subtopic  350-40):  Customer’s  Accounting  for  Fees  Paid  in  a  Cloud  Computing 
Arrangement." Under ASU 2015-05, a customer should determine whether the arrangement includes a 
software license. If so, the customer should account for the software license component in a manner 
consistent  with  the  accounting  for  other  software  licenses.  If  the  arrangement  does  not  include  a 
software  license,  the  arrangement  should  be  accounted  for  as  a  service  contract.  The  provisions  of 
ASU 2015-05 must be applied by public entities to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015 
as well as interim periods within those annual periods. ASU 2015-05 does not have a material impact 
on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures. 

23 

 
 
 
 
 
 
In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-08, "Business Combinations, Pushdown Accounting (Topic 
805): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 115" which revised 
the requirement for recognition and disclosure of a new basis of accounting (or pushdown accounting) 
for certain business combination situations. ASU 2015-08 does not have any impact on the Company’s 
financial statements and related disclosures. 

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying 
the  Accounting  for  Measurement-Period  Adjustments,"  which  eliminates  the  requirement  for  an 
acquirer  to  retrospectively  adjust  the  financial  statements  for  measurement-period  adjustments  that 
occur  in  periods  after  a  business  combination  is  consummated.  ASU  2015-16  will  be  effective  for 
annual  and  interim  periods  beginning  after  December  15,  2015.  Early  adoption  is  permitted.  ASU 
2015-16 does not have any impact on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures. 

In January 2016, the FASB has issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-
10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The new guidance is 
intended to improve the recognition and measurement of financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 affects 
public  and  private  companies,  not-for-profit  organizations,  and  employee  benefit  plans  that  hold 
financial  assets  or  owe  financial  liabilities.  The  new  guidance  makes  targeted  improvements  to 
existing U.S. GAAP by 1) requiring equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity 
method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value 
with  changes  in  fair  value  recognized  in  net  income;  2)  requiring  separate  presentation  of  financial 
assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (i.e., securities or 
loans and receivables) on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements; 3) 
eliminating the requirement to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized 
cost for organizations that are not public business entities; and 4) requiring a reporting organization to 
present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a 
liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk (also referred to as “own credit”) 
when  the  organization  has  elected  to  measure  the  liability  at  fair  value  in  accordance  with  the  fair 
value option for financial instruments.  The new guidance is effective for private companies for fiscal 
years beginning after December 15, 2018, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after 
December 15, 2019.    The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new guidance 
on its consolidated financial statements. 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).”  The FASB issued this ASU 
to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease 
liabilities on the balance sheet by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under current 
U.S.  GAAP  and  disclosing  key  information  about  leasing  arrangements. The core  principle is that  a 
lessee should recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases.  A lessee should recognize in its 
balance  sheet  a  liability  to  make  lease  payments  (the  lease  liability)  and  a  right-of-use  asset 
representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of twelve 
months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset 
not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. If a lessee makes this election, it should recognize 
lease expense for such leases generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term.   The amendments 
in this ASU are effective for private companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, 
and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020. Early application of this ASU is permitted for 
all  entities.  The  Company  is  currently  evaluating  the  impact  of  adopting  the  new  guidance  on  its 
consolidated financial statements. 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): 
Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” which is intended to simplify several 
aspects  of  the  accounting  for  share-based  payment  transactions,  including  the  income  tax 
consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement 
of  cash  flows.  ASU  2016-09  is  effective  for  private  companies  for  fiscal  years  beginning  after 
December 15, 2017, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early application of this 
ASU is permitted for all entities. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new 
guidance on its consolidated financial statements. 

24 

 
 
 
 
In  June  2016,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  2016-13,  “Financial  Instruments  -  Credit  Losses  (Topic  326): 
Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which sets forth a "current expected credit 
loss"  ("CECL")  model  requiring  the  Company  to  measure  all  expected  credit  losses  for  financial 
instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable 
supportable  forecasts.  This  replaces  the  existing  incurred  loss  model  and  is  applicable  to  the 
measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost and applies to some off-
balance  sheet  credit  exposures.  ASU  2016-13  is  effective  for  private  companies  for  fiscal  years 
beginning  after  December  15,  2020.  Early  application  of  this  ASU  is  permitted  for  all  entities.  The 
Company  is  currently  assessing  the potential impact of this  ASU  and collecting  loan  data  needed  to 
measure the required calculation. 

In August 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows 
(Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (ASU 2016-15),” to address 
diversity in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement 
of cash flows. The amendments provide guidance on the following nine specific cash flow issues: 1) 
debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; 2) settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other 
debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate 
of  the  borrowing;  3)  contingent  consideration  payments  made  after  a  business  combination;  4) 
proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; 5) proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned 
life insurance policies, including bank-owned; 6) life insurance policies; 7) distributions received from 
equity  method  investees;  8)  beneficial  interests  in  securitization  transactions;  and  9)  separately 
identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. The amendments are effective 
for  private  companies  for  fiscal  years  beginning  after  December  15,  2018,  and  interim  periods  with 
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an 
interim  period.  The  Company  does  not  expect  the  adoption  of  this  guidance  to  be  material  to  the 
consolidated financial statements. 

In  January  2017,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  2017-04,  “Intangibles  –  Goodwill  and  Other  (Topic  350): 
Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.”  The amendments in the ASU are intended to simplify 
the  subsequent  quantitative  measurement  of  goodwill  by  eliminating  step  two  from  the  goodwill 
impairment test. Instead, an entity will perform only step one of its quantitative goodwill impairment 
test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, and then recognizing an 
impairment  charge  for  the  amount  by  which  the  carrying  amount  exceeds  the  reporting  unit's  fair 
value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that 
reporting unit. An entity will still have the option to perform a qualitative assessment for a reporting 
unit to determine if the quantitative step one impairment test is necessary. This amendment is effective 
for  annual  or interim  goodwill impairment  tests  of  private  companies  in fiscal  years  beginning  after 
December 15, 2021. Entities should apply the amendment prospectively. Early adoption is permitted, 
including in an interim period, for impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017.  The Company is 
currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new guidance on its consolidated financials. 

(2)  Restrictions on Cash 

To comply with Federal Reserve regulations, the Company is required to maintain certain average reserve 
balances.  The  daily  average  reserve  requirements  were  approximately  $3,556  and  $3,043  for  the  weeks 
including December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

There were no securities that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for over 12 months as of 
December 31, 2015. 

The Company does not consider the unrealized losses other-than-temporary losses based on the volatility of 
the  securities  market  price  involved,  the  credit  quality  of  the  securities,  and  the  Company’s  ability,  if 
necessary,  to  hold  the  securities  until  maturity.    For  2016,  the  securities  included  30  bonds  that  had 
continuous losses for less than 12 months and no bonds that had continuous losses for more than 12 months.    
For 2015, the securities include 16 bonds that have continuous losses for less than 12 months and no bonds 
that have continuous losses for more than 12 months.  There were $62 in net realized gains on securities sold 
in 2016 and no gross realized gains or losses on securities sold in 2015.    

The amortized costs and fair values of available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities as of December 31, 
2016,  by  contractual  maturity,  are  shown  below.  Actual  maturities  may  differ  from  contractual  maturities

In  the  normal  course  of  business,  the  Bank  has  made  loans  to  executive  officers  and  directors.  As  of 
December 31, 2016 and 2015, loans to executive officers and directors totaled $393 and $210, respectively. 
During 2016, new loans made to executive officers and directors totaled $191, advances totaled $122 and 
repayments amounted to approximately $130.  There were no loans to companies in which executive officers 
and directors have an interest as of December 31, 2016 and 2015.  All such loans were made in the ordinary 
course of business on substantially the same terms and conditions, including interest rates and collateral, as 
those prevailing at the same time for comparable transactions with unrelated persons, and, in the opinion of 
management, do not involve more than normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features.  

The  fair  value  of  loans,  net  of  unearned  income  and  fees,  was  $341,365  as  of  December  31,  2016  and 
$307,151 as of December 31, 2015.

The Company utilizes a risk rating matrix to assign a risk grade to each of its loans.  A description of the 
general characteristics of the risk grades is as follows: 

Pass – These loans have minimal and acceptable credit risk. 

29 

 
 
 
 
 
 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
 
 
 
 
 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
  
  
  
 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
 
 
 
 
 
  
  
  
  
  
  
 
Special  Mention  –  These  loans  have  potential  weaknesses  that  deserve  management’s  close 
attention.    If  left  uncorrected,  these  potential  weaknesses  may  result  in  deterioration  of  the 
repayment prospects for the loan at some future date. 

Substandard  –  These  loans  are  inadequately  protected  by  the  net  worth  or  paying  capacity  of  the 
obligor  or  collateral  pledged,  if  any.    Loans  classified  as  substandard  must  have  a  well-defined 
weakness,  or  weaknesses,  that  jeopardize  the  liquidation  of  the  debt.    A  substandard  loan  is 
characterized by the distinct probability that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies 
are not corrected. 

Doubtful – These loans have all of the weakness inherent in one classified as substandard with the 
added  characteristic  that  the  weaknesses  make  collection  liquidation  in  full,  on  the  basis  of  the 
currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable.

2018; $15,101 in 2019, $16,119 in 2020 and $12,401 in 2021.   

In the normal course of business, the Bank has received deposits from executive officers and directors. As of 
December 31, 2016 and 2015, deposits from executive officers and directors were approximately $1,998 and 
$1,547, respectively.  All such deposits were received in the ordinary course of business on substantially the 
same  terms  and  conditions,  including  interest  rates,  as  those  prevailing  at  the  same  time  for  comparable 
transactions with unrelated persons. 

The fair value of deposits was $352,379 as of December 31, 2016 and $330,676 as of December 31, 2015.

(7)  Employee Benefit Plans 

The  Bank  maintains  a  noncontributory  defined  benefit  pension  plan  that  covers  substantially  all  of  its 
employees.  Benefits  are  computed  based  on  employees’  average  final  compensation  and  years  of  credited 
service. Pension expenses amounted to approximately $199 and $128 in 2016 and 2015, respectively.  The 
change in benefit obligation, change in plan assets and funded status of the pension plan as of December 31, 
2016 and 2015 and pertinent assumptions are as follows:

comprehensive  income  that  will  be  recognized  as  a  component  of  net  periodic  pension  cost  over  the  next 
fiscal year is $330. 

The  Company  selects  the  expected  long-term  rate-of-return-on-assets  assumption  in  consultation  with  its 
investment  advisors  and  actuary.  This  rate  is  intended  to  reflect  the  average  rate  of  return  expected  to  be 
earned  on  the  funds  invested  or  to  be  invested  to  provide  plan  benefits.  Historical  performance  is 
reviewed especially with respect to real rates of return (net of inflation) for the major asset classes held or 
anticipated to be held by the trust, and for the trust itself. Undue weight is not given to recent experience, 
which may not continue over the measurement period, and higher significance is placed on current forecasts 
of future long-term economic conditions. 

Because assets are held in a qualified trust, anticipated returns are not reduced for taxes. Further, solely for 
this purpose, the plan is assumed to continue in force and not terminate during the period during which assets 
are invested. However, consideration is given to the potential impact of current and future investment policy, 
cash flow into and out of the trust, and expenses (both investment and non-investment) typically paid from 
plan assets (to the extent such expenses are not explicitly estimated within periodic cost). 

The components of net pension benefit cost under the plan for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 
is summarized as follows:

Plan Asset Allocation 

Plan assets are held in a pooled pension trust fund administered by the Virginia Bankers Association. The 
pooled  pension  trust  fund  is  sufficiently  diversified  to  maintain  a  reasonable  level  of  risk  without 
imprudently sacrificing return, with a targeted asset allocation of 39% fixed income and 61% equities. The 
Investment  Manager  selects  investment  fund  managers  with  demonstrated  experience  and  expertise,  and 
funds  with  demonstrated  historical  performance,  for  the  implementation  of  the  pension  plan’s  investment 
strategy. The Investment Manager will consider both actively and passively managed investment strategies 
and will allocate funds across the asset classes to develop an efficient investment structure. 

It  is  the  responsibility  of  the  Virginia  Bankers  Association  to  administer  the  investments  of  the  pooled 
pension trust fund within reasonable costs, being careful to avoid sacrificing quality. These costs include, but 
are not limited to, management and custodial fees, consulting fees, transaction costs and other administrative 
costs. 

The asset or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest 
level  of  any  input  that  is  significant  to  the  fair  value  measurement.    Valuation  techniques  used  need  to 
maximize  the  use  of  observable  inputs  and  minimize  the  use  of  unobservable  inputs.    Following  is  a 
description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value. 

Mutual funds-fixed income and equity funds:  Valued at the net asset value of shares held at year-end. 

Cash and equivalents:  Valued at cost which approximates fair value. 

The  preceding  methods  described  may  produce  a  fair  value  calculation  that  may  not  be  indicative  of  net 
realizable value or reflective of future fair values.  Furthermore, although the Company believes its valuation 
methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or 
assumptions  to  determine  fair  value  of  certain  financial  instruments  could  result  in  a  different  fair  value 
measurement as of December 31, 2016 and 2015. 

The following  table  presents  the fair  value  of  the  assets,  by  asset  category,  as  of  December  31,  2016  and 
2015.

Contributions 

The Company expects to contribute $0 to its pension plan in 2017. 

The Company also has a 401(k) plan under which the Company matches employee contributions to the plan.  
In 2016 and 2015, the Company matched 100% of the first 1% of salary deferral and 50% of the next 5% of 
salary deferral to the 401(k) plan.  The amount expensed for the 401(k) plan was $143 during the year ended 
December 31, 2016 and $124 during the year ended December 31, 2015.

The Bank has determined that a valuation allowance for the gross deferred tax assets is not necessary as of 
December 31, 2016 and 2015, since realization of the entire gross deferred tax assets can be supported by the 
amounts of taxes paid during the carry back periods available under current tax laws.   

The  Company  did  not  recognize  any  interest  or  penalties  related  to  income  tax  during  the  years  ended 
December  31,  2016  and  2015.    The  Company  does  not  have  an  accrual  for  uncertain  tax  positions  as 
deductions  taken  and  benefits  accrued  are  based  on  widely  understood  administrative  practices  and 

37 

 
 
 
 
 
procedures and are based on clear and unambiguous tax law.  Tax returns for all years 2013 and thereafter 
are subject to future examination by tax authorities. 

(9)  Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk 

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business 
to  meet  the  financing  needs  of  its  customers.  These  financial  instruments  include  mortgage  sale  lock 
commitments, commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments may involve, to 
varying degrees, credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheets. The contract amounts 
of  these  instruments  reflect  the  extent  of  involvement  the  Bank  has  in  particular  classes  of  financial 
instruments. 

Credit risk is defined as the possibility of sustaining a loss because the other parties to a financial instrument 
fail to perform in accordance with the terms of the contract. The Company’s maximum exposure to credit 
loss  under  commitments  to  extend  credit  and  standby  letters  of  credit  is  represented  by  the  contractual 
amount  of  these  instruments.  The  Company  uses  the  same  credit  policies  in  making  commitments  and 
conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. 

The  Company  requires  collateral  to  support  financial  instruments  when  it  is  deemed  necessary.  The  Bank 
evaluates such customers’ creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained upon 
extension of credit is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral may include 
deposits  held  in  financial  institutions,  U.S.  Treasury  securities,  other  marketable  securities,  real  estate, 
accounts receivable, inventory, and property, plant and equipment.

In  the  ordinary  course  of business,  the  Company  may  enter  into  mortgage  rate lock  commitments  that  are 
subsequently  funded  by  the  Company.  The  Company  then  sells  the  mortgage  loan  to  a  secondary  market 
bank that had underwritten the mortgage loan before the Company funded the loan.  The secondary market 
bank pays a fee that was agreed upon on the lock commitment date to the Company and buys the loan within 
five  days  of  the initial  funding  by  the  Company.      As  of  December  31,  2016  the  Company  had  $2,647 in 
outstanding mortgage rate lock commitments and $265 in outstanding mortgage rate lock commitments as of 
December 31, 2015. 

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any 
condition  established  in  the  contract.  Commitments  generally  have  fixed  expiration  dates  or  other 
termination  clauses  and  may  require  payment  of  a  fee.  Since  many  of  the  commitments  are  expected  to 
expire  without  being  drawn  upon,  the  total  commitment  amounts  do  not  necessarily  represent  future  cash 
requirements. 

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a 
customer  to  a  third  party.  These  guarantees  are  primarily  issued  to  support  public  and  private  borrowing 
arrangements,  including  bond  financing  and  similar  transactions.  Unless  renewed,  substantially  all  of  the 
Company’s  standby  letters  of  credit  commitments  as  of  December 31,  2016  will  expire  within  one  year. 
Management does not anticipate any material losses as a result of these transactions. The credit risk involved 
in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers.

(10)   Leases 

The  Company  leases  premises  and  equipment  under  various  operating  lease  agreements.    Generally, 
operating leases provide for one or more renewal options on the same basis as current rental terms.  Certain 
leases require increased rentals under cost-of-living escalation clauses.  The following are future minimum 
lease payments as required under the agreements:

The Company entered into a lease of the Amherst branch facility, with an entity in which a director of the 
Company has a 50% ownership interest, in 2009.  The original term of the lease is twenty years and may be 
renewed at the Company’s option for two additional terms of five years each.  The Company’s current rental 
payment under the lease is $152 annually.  

(11)  Concentrations of Credit Risk and Contingencies 

The  Company  grants  commercial,  residential  and  consumer  loans  to  customers  primarily  in  the  central 
Virginia area. As a whole, the portfolio is affected by  general economic conditions in the central Virginia 
region. 

The Company’s commercial and real estate loan portfolios are diversified, with no significant concentrations 
of  credit  other  than  the  geographic  focus  on  the  central  Virginia  region.  The  installment  loan  portfolio 
consists of consumer loans primarily for automobiles and other personal property. Overall, the Company’s 
loan portfolio is diversified and is not concentrated within a single industry or group of industries, the loss of 
any one or more of which would generate a materially adverse impact on the business of the Company. 

The  Company  has  established  operating  policies  relating  to  the  credit  process  and  collateral  in  loan 
originations.  Loans  to  purchase  real  and  personal  property  are  generally  collateralized  by  the  related 
property. Credit approval is primarily based on the creditworthiness of the borrower, the ability to repay and 
the value of the collateral pledged. 

At  times,  the  Company  may  have  cash  and  cash  equivalents  at  a financial  institution  in  excess  of insured 
limits.    The  Company  places  its  cash  and  cash  equivalents  with  high  credit  quality  financial  institutions 
whose credit rating and financial condition is monitored by management to minimize credit risk. 

In the ordinary course of business, various claims and lawsuits are brought by and against the Company. In 
the opinion of management, there is no pending or threatened proceeding in which an adverse decision could 
result  in  a  material  adverse  change  in  the  Company’s  consolidated  financial  condition  or  results  of 
operations. 

(12)  Dividend Restrictions and Capital Requirements 

Bankshares’ principal source of funds for dividend payments is dividends received from its subsidiary Bank. 
For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, dividends from the subsidiary Bank totaled $1,017 and 
$992, respectively. 

Substantially  all  of  Bankshares’ retained  earnings  consist  of  undistributed  earnings  of its  subsidiary  Bank, 
which  are  restricted  by  various  regulations  administered  by  federal  banking  regulatory  agencies.  Under 
applicable federal laws, the Comptroller of the Currency restricts, without prior approval, the total dividend 
payments  of  the  Bank  in  any  calendar  year  to  the  net  profits  of  that  year,  as  defined,  combined  with  the 

39 

 
 
 
    
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
retained net profits for the two preceding years. As of December 31, 2016, retained net profits of the Bank 
that were free of such restriction approximated $6,220 

Bankshares and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal 
banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly 
additional  discretionary  actions  by  regulators  that,  if  undertaken,  could  have  a  direct  material  effect  on 
Bankshares’  consolidated  financial  statements.  Under  capital  adequacy  guidelines  and  the  regulatory 
framework for prompt corrective action, Bankshares and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that 
involve  quantitative  measures  of  their  assets,  liabilities  and  certain  off-balance-sheet  items  as  calculated 
under regulatory accounting practices. Bankshares and the Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also 
subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. 

Beginning January 1, 2015, banks became subject to new Basel III Capital Rules. As a result, certain items in 
the risk-based capital calculation have changed. In addition, a new ratio, Common Equity Tier 1or “CET 1” 
Risk-Based  Capital  Ratio,  is  now  measured  and  monitored.  For  Bankshares  and  the  Bank  and  given  its 
capital  structure,  the  Common  Equity  Tier  1  Risk-Based  Capital  Ratio  and  the  Tier  1  Risk-Based  Capital 
Ratio are identical. Bankshares and the Bank's actual regulatory capital amounts and ratios as of December 
31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 are listed on the following page:

Basel  III  limits  capital  distributions  and  certain  discretionary  bonus  payments  if  the  banking  organization 
does not hold a “capital conservation buffer” consisting of 2.50% of CET1 capital, Tier 1 capital and total 
capital  to  risk  weighted  assets  in  addition  to  the  amount  necessary  to  meet  minimum  risk-based  capital 
requirements. The capital conservation buffer will be phased in beginning January 1, 2016, at 0.625% of risk 
weighted  assets,  increasing  each  year  until  fully  implemented  at  2.50%  on  January  1,  2019.  When  fully 
phased in on January 1, 2019, Basel III will require (i) a minimum ratio of CET1 capital to risk weighted 
assets of at least 4.50%, plus a 2.50% capital conservation buffer, (ii) a minimum ratio of Tier 1capital to 
risk  weighted  assets  of  at  least  6.00%,  plus  the  capital  conservation  buffer,  (iii)  a  minimum  ratio  of  total 
capital  to  risk  weighted  assets  of  at  least  8.00%,  plus  the  2.50%  capital  conservation  buffer  and  (iv)  a 
minimum leverage ratio of 4.00%.  

As  of  December 31,  2016,  the  most  recent  notification  from  Office  of  the  Comptroller  of  the  Currency 
categorized  Bankshares  and  the  Bank  as  “well  capitalized”  under  the  regulatory  framework  for  prompt 
corrective  action. There  are  no  conditions  or  events since  that  notification that management  believes  have 
changed Bankshares and the Bank’s category.

(13)   Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments 

Generally  accepted  accounting  principles  require  the  Company  to  disclose  estimated  fair  values  of  its 
financial instruments. 

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the approximate fair value of each class of 
financial instrument for which it is practicable to estimate that value. 

 (a)  Securities 

The  fair  value  of  securities  is  estimated  based  on bid  prices as  quoted on  national  exchanges or  bid 
quotations received from securities dealers. The fair value of certain state and municipal securities is 
not readily available through market sources other than dealer quotations; so fair value estimates are 
based  on  quoted  market  prices  of  similar  instruments,  adjusted  for  differences  between  the  quoted 
instruments and the instruments being valued. 

 (b)  Loans 

Fair  values  are  estimated  for  portfolios  of  loans  with  similar  financial  characteristics.  Loans  are 
segregated  by  type  such  as  commercial,  real  estate  -  residential,  real  estate  -  commercial,  loans  to 
individuals  and  other  loans.  Each  loan  category  is  further  segmented  into  fixed  and  adjustable  rate 
interest terms. 

The  fair  value  of  fixed  rate  loans  is  calculated  by  discounting  scheduled  cash  flows  through  the 
estimated  maturity  using  estimated  market  discount  rates that  reflect  the  credit and  interest  rate  risk 
inherent  in  the  loan  as  well  as  estimates  for  prepayments.  The  estimate  of  maturity  is  based  on  the 
Company’s historical experience with repayments for each loan classification, modified, as required, 
by an estimate of the effect of current economic and lending conditions. 

 (c)  Deposits  

The  fair  value  of  demand  deposits,  NOW  accounts,  and  savings  deposits  is  the  amount  payable  on 
demand.  The  fair  value  of  fixed  maturity  time  deposits,  certificates  of  deposit  is  estimated  by 
discounting scheduled cash flows through the estimated maturity using the rates currently offered for 
deposits or borrowings of similar remaining maturities. 

(f)  Commitments to Extend Credit and Standby Letters of Credit 

The  only  amounts  recorded  for  commitments  to  extend  credit  and  standby  letters  of  credit  are  the 
deferred  fees  arising  from  these  unrecognized  financial  instruments.  These  deferred  fees  are  not 
deemed significant as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and as such, the related fair values have not 
been estimated.  

Fair  value  estimates  are  made  at  a  specific  point  in  time,  based  on  relevant  market  information  and 
information  about  the  financial  instrument.  These  estimates  do  not  reflect  any  premium  or  discount 
that  could  result  from  offering  for  sale  at  one  time  the  Company’s  entire  holdings  of  a  particular 
financial  instrument.  Because  no  market  exists  for  a  significant  portion  of  the  Company’s  financial 
instruments,  fair  value  estimates  are  based  on  judgments  regarding  future  expected  loss  experience, 
current  economic  conditions,  risk  characteristics  of  various  financial  instruments  and  other  factors. 
These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment 
and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect 
the estimates. 

Fair  value  estimates  are  based  on  existing  on  and  off-balance  sheet  financial  instruments  without 
attempting to estimate the value of anticipated funding needs and the value of assets and liabilities that 
are  not  considered  financial  instruments.  Significant  assets  that  are  not  considered  financial  assets 
include deferred tax assets and premises and equipment and other real estate owned. In addition, the 
tax  ramifications  related  to  the  realization  of  the  unrealized  gains  and  losses  can  have  a  significant 
effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in the estimates.

(g)  Fair Value Methodologies 

The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair 
value. 

Available-for-Sale Securities 

Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.  Fair value measurement is 
based  upon  quoted  prices, if available,  and  would in such case  be included  as  a  Level  1  asset.  The 
Company  currently  carries  no  Level  1  securities.    If  quoted  prices  are  not  available,  valuations  are 
obtained  from  readily  available  pricing  sources  from  independent  providers  for  market  transactions 
involving  similar  assets  or  liabilities.    The  Company’s  principal  market  for  these  securities  is  the 
secondary institutional markets, and valuations are based on observable market data in those markets.  
These  would  be  classified  as  Level  2  assets.    The  Company’s  entire  available-for-sale  securities 
portfolio is classified as Level 2 securities. The Company currently carries no Level 3 securities for 
which fair value would be determined using unobservable inputs. 

Loans  

The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis.  However, from time to time, a 
loan is considered impaired and a specific allowance for loan losses is established for that loan.  Loans 
for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the 
contractual  terms  of  the  loan  agreement  are  considered  impaired.    Once  a  loan  is  identified  as 
individually  impaired,  management  measures  impairment  in  accordance  with  ASC  Topic  360, 
“Impairment of a Loan.”  The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using one of several methods, 
including collateral value, market value of a similar debt, liquidation value and discounted cash flows.  
Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans at which fair value of the expected 
repayments  or  collateral  exceed  the  recorded investments  in such loans.    As  of  December  31,  2016, 
substantially  all  of  the  impaired  loans  were  evaluated  based  on  the  fair  value  of  the  collateral.    In 
accordance with “Impairment of a Loan,” impaired loans where an allowance is established based on 
the fair value of the collateral require classification in the fair value hierarchy.  When the fair value of 
the  collateral  is  based  on  an  observable  market  price  or  a  current  appraised  value,  the  Company 
records the impaired loan as a nonrecurring Level 2 asset.  When an appraised value is not available or 
management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value 
and  there  is  no  observable  market  price,  the  Company  records  the  impaired  loan  as  a  nonrecurring 
Level  3  asset.    For substantially  all  of  the  Company‘s  impaired loans  as  of  December  31,  2016 and 
December  31,  2015,  the  valuation  methodology  utilized  by  the  Company  was  collateral  based 
measurements such as a real estate appraisal and the primary unobservable input was adjustments for 
differences between the comparable real estate sales.  The discount to reflect current market conditions 
and ultimately collectability ranged from 0% to 25% for each of the respective periods.   

Other Real Estate Owned 

Other real estate owned is adjusted to fair value less estimated selling costs upon transfer of the loans 
to foreclosed assets.  Subsequently, other real estate owned is carried at the lower of carrying value or 
fair value less estimated selling costs.  Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised 
values of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral.  When the fair value 
of the collateral is based on observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records 
the  foreclosed  asset  as  a  nonrecurring  Level  2  asset.    When  an  appraised  value  is  not  available  or 
management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value 
and  there  is  no  observable  market  price,  the  Company  records  the  other  real  estate  owned  as  a 
nonrecurring  Level  3  asset.      For  substantially  all  of  the  Company’s  other  real  estate  owned  as  of 
December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the valuation methodology utilized by the Company was 
collateral based measurements such as a real estate appraisal and the primary unobservable input was 
adjustments for differences between the comparable real estate sales.  The discount to reflect current 
market conditions ranged from 0% to 25% for each of the respective periods.

(15)  Stock-based Compensation 

The Company’s 2004 Incentive Stock Plan (the “2004 Plan”), pursuant to which the Company’s Board of 
Directors  may  grant  stock  options  and  other  equity-based  awards  to  officers  and  key  employees,  was 
approved  by  shareholders  on  April  13,  2004  and  became  effective  as  of  May  1,  2004.  The  2004  Plan 
authorized  grants  of  up to 100,000 shares  of  the  Company’s  authorized,  but unissued common  stock.    All 
stock  options  were  granted  with  an exercise  price equal to the stock’s  fair  market  value  at the  date  of  the 
grant.  As of December 31, 2014, the 2004 Plan has expired and no additional awards may be granted under 
this plan. 

Stock options granted under the 2004 Plan generally have 10-year terms, vest at the rate of 25% per year, 
and become fully exercisable four years from the date of grant. 

At  December 31,  2016, options for  16,500 shares  were exercisable  at  an  exercise  price of  $9.00  per share 
and options for 10,250 shares were exercisable at an exercise price of $15.70 per share under the 2004 Plan.  

On April 8, 2014, shareholders approved the 2014 Incentive Stock Plan (the “2014 Plan”), pursuant to which 
the  Company’s  Board of Directors  may  grant  stock  options  and  other equity-based  awards  to  officers and 
key employees.  The 2014 Plan authorizes grants of up to 150,000 shares of the Company’s authorized, but 

45 

 
 
 
 
unissued common stock.  All stock options are granted with an exercise price equal to the stock’s fair market 
value at the date of the grant.  As of December 31, 2016, there were 115,724 shares available for grant under 
the 2014 Plan. 

On May 1, 2016, 8,500 shares of restricted stock were granted to employees pursuant to the 2014 Plan. On 
May 1, 2015, 6,250 shares of restricted stock were granted to employees pursuant to the 2014 Plan. On May 
1,  2014,  8,400  shares  of  restricted  stock  were  granted  to  employees  pursuant  to  the  2014  Plan.      The 
restricted stock grants will vest on the third anniversary of the grant date.   

On  January  10,  2017,  3,998  shares  of restricted  stock  were  granted  to the  Company’s  Directors in  lieu  of 
cash  for  2016  director  fees.    On  January  12,  2016,  3,818  shares  of  restricted  stock  were  granted  to  the 
Company’s Directors in lieu of cash for 2015 director fees.  On January 13, 2015, 3,310 shares of restricted 
stock were granted to the Company’s Directors as payment in lieu of cash for 2014 director fees.   

At December 31, 2016, no options for shares were exercisable under the 2014 Plan.  

The Company expensed $0 in 2016 and 2015 in compensation expense as a direct result of the issuance of 
the 34,750 incentive stock options with tandem stock appreciation rights in previous years and recognized 
$20  in  compensation  expense  related  to  10,250  unvested  stock  options.    For  the  2004  Plan  stock  options 
granted May 1, 2010, the fair value of $3.96 per share of each option grant is estimated on the grant date 
using  the  Black-Scholes  option-pricing  model  with  the  following  weighted  average  assumptions  used:  
dividend  yield  of  2.065%,  expected  volatility  of  45.61%,  a  risk-free  interest  rate  of  4.63%,  and  expected 
lives of 9 years.  For the 2004 Plan stock options granted February 11, 2014, the fair value of $5.45 per share 
of each option grant is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the 
following  weighted  average  assumptions  used:    dividend  yield  of  4.00%,  expected  volatility  of  44.70%,  a 
risk-free interest rate of 2.69%, and expected lives of 9 years.   

The Company expensed $154 in 2016 in compensation expense as a direct result of the granting of 11,000 
shares of restricted stock to employees in 2012, 10,000 shares of restricted stock to employees in 2013, 8,400 
shares of restricted stock to employees in 2014, 6,250 shares of restricted stock to employees in 2015 and 
8,500 shares of restricted stock to employees in 2016 and will recognize $108 in 2017, $66 in 2018 and $18 
in 2019 on such restricted stock.

(16) Share Repurchase Program 

On November 12, 2013, the Board of Directors adopted a resolution authorizing the repurchase of up to $500 
worth of shares of the Company’s common stock. The Board of Directors extended this resolution on May 
13, 2014, November 11, 2014, May 12, 2015, December 8, 2015 and June 14, 2016.   Purchases are made, as 
conditions warrant, from time to time in the open market. The current resolution expired on December 31, 
2016.  As of December 31, 2016, the Company repurchased 22,647 shares of its common stock under the 
stock  repurchase  program  and  expensed  $420  for  these  repurchases.  The  timing  and  amount  of  future 
repurchases will depend upon the market price for our common stock, securities laws restricting repurchases, 
asset growth, earnings, and our capital plan. 

 (17) Subsequent Events 

The Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and/or disclosure in the December 
31,  2016  consolidated  financial  statements  through  March  3,  2017,  the  date  the  consolidated  financial 
statements were available to be issued.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. 

The  Company’s  management  is  responsible  for  establishing  and  maintaining  adequate  internal  control  over 
financial reporting.  

Because  of  its  inherent  limitations,  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  may  not  prevent  or  detect 
misstatements.  Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance 
with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. 

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 
31,  2016.    In  making  this  assessment,  management  used  the  criteria  set  forth  by  the  Committee  of  Sponsoring 
Organizations  of  the  Treadway  Commission  (“COSO”)  in  Internal  Control  –  Integrated  Framework.    Based  on

                        Report of Independent Auditor 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders 
of Pinnacle Bankshares Corporation 
Altavista, Virginia 

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements  of  Pinnacle  Bankshares  Corporation  and 
Subsidiary (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and 
the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows 
for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements. 

Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements 

Management  is  responsible  for  the  preparation  and  fair  presentation  of  these  consolidated  financial  statements  in 
accordance  with  accounting  principles  generally  accepted  in  the  United  States  of  America;  this  includes  the  design, 
implementation,  and  maintenance  of  internal  control  relevant  to  the  preparation  and  fair  presentation  of  consolidated 
financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

Auditor’s Responsibility 

Our  responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  these  consolidated  financial  statements  based  on  our  audits.    We 
conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.  Those 
standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 
financial statements are free from material misstatement. 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated 
financial statements.  The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks 
of material  misstatement  of  the  consolidated  financial  statements,  whether  due  to  fraud  or  error.    In making  those  risk 
assessments,  the  auditor  considers  internal  control  relevant  to  the  entity’s  preparation  and  fair  presentation  of  the 
consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances but not 
for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control.  Accordingly, we express no 
such opinion.  An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness 
of  significant  accounting  estimates  made  by  management,  as  well  as  evaluating  the  overall  presentation  of  the 
consolidated financial statements. 

We believe the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. 

Opinion 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial 
position of Pinnacle Bankshares Corporation and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the results of their 
operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in 
the United States of America.

Each  share  of  Common  Stock  is  entitled  to  participate  equally  in  dividends,  which  are  payable  as  and  when 
determined  by  the  Board  of  Directors  after  consideration  of  the  earnings,  general  economic  conditions,  the 
financial  condition  of  the  business  and  other  factors  as  might  be  appropriate.  The  Company’s  ability  to  pay 
dividends is dependent upon its receipt of dividends from its subsidiary. Prior approval from the Comptroller of the 
Currency is required if the total of all dividends declared by a national bank, including the proposed dividend, in 
any  calendar  year  will  exceed  the  sum  of  the  bank’s  net  profits  for  that  year  and  its  retained  net  profits  for  the 
preceding two calendar years, less any required transfers to surplus. This limitation has not had a material impact 
on  the  Bank’s  ability  to  declare  dividends  during  2016  and  2015  and  is  not  expected  to  have  a  material  impact 
during 2017. 

As of March 1, 2017, there were approximately 299 shareholders of record of Bankshares’ Common Stock.
