"We are pleased with our continuing trend of record quarterly earnings, and have
implemented many strategies to further strengthen our organization," announced
J. Daniel Hardy, President and CEO of FNB Corporation and First National Bank,
its banking subsidiary.  "In January, we introduced the `Stakeholders' incentive
plan to our employees to reward balanced growth in assets, profits, quality, and
productivity.  Unlike other incentive programs, Stakeholders coaches our
employees to better manage the bank's bottom line."

FNB Corporation experienced an increase in non-accrual loans during the second
half of 1999, attributable to a small number of credits.  "We have worked
closely with these loan customers," reported Hardy, "and expect the majority of
them to be paid off or return to an earning status by yearend 2000."

The corporation also announced the payment of a $0.17 per share dividend on June
16, 2000, to shareholders of record on May 22, 2000.  This represents a 10
percent increase over the dividend paid during the first quarter of 1999.  The
board also authorized the repurchase of up to 400,000 shares, or about 5 percent
of its outstanding common stock.  The repurchases will begin on or after May 1
in open-market or negotiated transactions, depending on market conditions.  The
repurchased

shares will revert to authorized but unissued status and will be used for
general corporate purposes.

FNB Corporation's primary subsidiary, First National Bank, is a locally-owned
independent bank with 12 offices and 24 ATM facilities situated throughout the
New River Valley and Mountain Empire regions of Southwest Virginia.
