BLACKSBURG, VA--(Marketwire - Apr 14, 2011) - Today, National Bankshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: NKSH) announced net income of over $4.02 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. Net income is $255,000, or nearly 6.77%, above the total reported for the first quarter of 2010. Basic net income per share was $0.58, which compares with $0.54 for the first three months last year. The return of average assets for the first quarter was 1.60%, and it was 1.57% for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The return on average equity was 12.44% and 12.27% for the same two periods. Total loans at quarter-end, at $588.88 million, were down slightly from the total of $589.13 million at the end of March last year, but were up from $577.39 million reported at December 31, 2010. At March 31, 2011, the Company had total assets of $1.03 billion, an increase of 3.40% over the end of the first quarter of 2010 and up slightly from total assets of $1.02 billion at year-end.
National Bankshares' Chairman, President & CEO James G. Rakes commented, "The stable interest rate environment during the first quarter of the year allowed us to maintain a healthy net interest margin, which resulted in an increase in net interest income. We have seen some tentative signs that the economic recovery may be reaching our market area, but loan demand remains slower than we would like and some customers continue to struggle. Our lenders have been working with these customers to try to help them through their difficulties. We are still prudently funding the provision for loan losses as we look forward to indications of a sustained recovery."
