                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                      (In thousands, except for share data)


(1)      General

         The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pinnacle
Bankshares Corporation ("Bankshares") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, The First
National Bank of Altavista (the "Bank"), (collectively, the "Company"). All
material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The
consolidated financial statements conform to generally accepted accounting
principles and to general banking industry practices. In the opinion of the
Company's management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements contain all adjustments of a normal recurring nature, necessary to
present fairly the financial position as of September 30, 1999, the results of
operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1999
and 1998, and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 1999 and
1998.

         The interim period consolidated financial statements and financial
information included herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto included in Pinnacle Bankshares
Corporation's 1998 Annual Report and additional information supplied in the 1998
Form 10-KSB.

         The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31,
1999.

(2)      Cash and Cash Equivalents

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

(3)      Securities

         The amortized costs, gross unrealized gains, gross unrealized losses,
and fair values for securities at September 30, 1999, are shown in the table
below. As of September 30, 1999, securities with amortized costs of $1,473 and
fair values of $1,477 were pledged as collateral for public deposits.

 (5)     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 were exercised or converted into common stock or
resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the
entity.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
         CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
         (Amounts in thousands of dollars)

         The following discussion supplements and provides information about the
major components of the results of operations and financial condition, liquidity
and capital resources of Pinnacle Bankshares Corporation and Subsidiary (the
"Company"). The discussion below reflects the Consolidated Financial Statements
of the Company and its subsidiary. This discussion and analysis should be read
in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and supplemental
financial data.

OVERVIEW

         Total assets at September 30, 1999 were $151,778, up 6.54% from
$142,458 at December 31, 1998. The principal components of the Company's assets
at the end of the period were $37,190 in securities and $99,449 in net loans.
During the nine month period ended September 30, 1999, gross loans increased
9.72% or $8,913. The Company's lending activities are a principal source of
income. The Company's net premises and equipment grew 31.29%, which was related
to construction of the new First National Bank Airport Branch facility located
just outside the Lynchburg city limits.

         Total liabilities at September 30, 1999 were $136,330, up from $127,316
at December 31, 1998, with the increase reflective of a rise in deposits of
$8,936 or 7.14%. Non-interest bearing demand deposits increased $620 or 5.64%
and represented 8.66% of total deposits. The Company's deposits are provided by
individuals and businesses located within the communities served.

         Total  stockholders'  equity at September 30, 1999 was $15,448.  At
December 31, 1998, total stockholders' equity was $15,142.

         The Company had net income of $1,124 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999, compared with net income of $1,116 for the comparable period
in 1998, an increase of .72%. The Company had net income of $372 for the three
months ended September 30, 1999, compared with net income of $347 for the
comparable period in 1998, an increase of 7.20%. The results of operations for
the nine month periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

         Profitability as measured by the Company's return on average assets
(ROA) was 1.00% for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, down from 1.11%
for the same period of 1998. Another key indicator of performance, the return on
average equity (ROE) for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 was 9.80%,
compared to 10.28% for the nine months ended September 30, 1998.

                                       10

NET INTEREST INCOME

         Net interest income represents the principal source of earnings for the
Company. Net interest income equals the amount by which interest income exceeds
interest expense. Changes in the volume and mix of interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities, as well as their respective rates and yields, have
a significant impact on the level of net interest income.

          The net interest margin decreased from 4.32% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998, to 4.14% for the nine months ended September 30, 1999.
Although the bank's cost of funds for the first nine months of 1999 was .09%
less than the same period in 1998, a lower interest rate environment and strong
competitive factors contributed to a decline of .27% in the yield on loans and
investments for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 compared to September
30, 1998.

         Net interest income was $4,062 for the nine months ended September 30,
1999 and is attributable to interest income from loans and securities exceeding
the cost associated with interest paid on deposits. Net interest income
increased $141 or 3.60% for the nine month period ended September 30, 1999 over
the same period of 1998.

         Net interest  income for the three  months ended  September  30, 1999
was $1,416,  up $118,  or 9.09% from $1,298 for the same three months of 1998.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

         The Company's principal sources of non-interest income are service
charges and fees on deposit accounts, particularly transaction accounts, and
loan fees. Non-interest income increased $211 or 58.13% for the nine month
period ended September 30, 1999 over the same period of 1998. Non-interest
income increased $78 or 61.90% when comparing the three months ended September
30, 1999 to the same period of 1998. Income generated from mortgage loans
originated for sale in the secondary market increased $121 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999 compared with the same period in 1998. Finance charges
on the Business Manager Receivables Financing Program was another source of the
increase. Fees from this program increased $43 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 compared to the same period in 1998. In addition, in May, the
Bank began surcharging foreign customers at all three ATM locations.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

         Non-interest expense increased $392 or 15.77% for the nine month period
ended September 30, 1999 over the same period of 1998. An increase of $157 or
18.15% is reflected when comparing the three month period ended September 30,
1999 to the same period of 1998. The increase in non-interest expense when
comparing the periods is attributed to the effect of overall growth of the
Company on personnel expenses, fixed asset costs associated with bank premises
additions and other operating expenses. The new Airport Branch facility opened
in late June, 1999.

ALLOWANCE AND PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

         A provision for loan losses of $250 and $225 was made for the first
nine months of 1999 and 1998, respectively. The provisions for loan losses was
$100 and $75 for the three month periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998,
respectively. Provisions are in recognition of management's estimate of risks
inherent with lending activities. Among other factors, management considers the
Company's historical loss experience, the size and composition of the loan
portfolio, the value and adequacy of collateral and guarantors, non-performing
credits, and current and anticipated economic conditions. There are additional
risks of future loan losses which cannot be precisely quantified or attributed
to particular loans or classes of loans. Since those risks include general
economic trends as well as conditions affecting individual borrowers, the
allowance for loan losses is an estimate. The allowance is also subject to
regulatory examinations and determination as to adequacy, which may take into
account such factors as the methodology used to calculate the allowance.

         The allowance for loan losses was $918 as of September 30, 1999, and
represents approximately .91% of gross loans outstanding. The allowance for loan
losses was $877 as of December 31, 1998, and represented .96% of gross loans
outstanding. The allowance for loan losses was $842 as of September 30, 1998,
and represented .96% of gross loans outstanding. Management believes the
allowance is adequate as of September 30, 1999. Management evaluates the
reasonableness of the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis and adjusts
the provision as deemed necessary.

NON-PERFORMING ASSETS AND IMPAIRED LOANS

         Nonperforming assets, which consist of nonaccrual loans and other real
estate owned (OREO), totaled $179 and $93 at September 30, 1999 and December 31,
1998, respectively. There was no OREO as of September 30, 1998 compared to a
balance of $48 at December 31, 1998. Nonaccrual loans were $179 at September 30,
1999 compared to $45 at December 31, 1998. Loans are generally placed in
nonaccrual status when collection of principal and interest is 90 days or more
past due, unless the obligation is both well-secured and in the process of
collection. The $134 increase in nonaccrual loans is attributable to one credit
(which was included in impaired loans as of December 31, 1998) being placed in
nonaccrual status during the period in accordance with the Company's nonaccrual
policy.

                                       12

<PAGE>

         As of September 30, 1999, the recorded investment in impaired loans
totaled $179 compared to $216 at December 31, 1998. As of September 30, 1999 and
December 31, 1998, the amount of valuation allowance related to impaired loans
approximated $70 and $91, respectively. The average recorded investment in
impaired loans receivable for the nine months ended September 30, 1999
approximated $273 compared to $152 for the year ended December 31, 1998.

LIQUIDITY

         Liquidity represents an institution's ability to meet present and
future financial obligations through either the sale or maturity of existing
assets or the acquisition of additional funds from alternative funding sources.
Liquid assets include cash, interest bearing deposits with banks, federal funds
sold, and securities and loans maturing within one year. The Company's ability
to obtain deposits and purchase funds at favorable rates also affects it
liquidity. As a result of the Company's management of liquid assets and the
ability to generate liquidity through alternative funding sources, management
believes that the bank maintains overall liquidity which is sufficient to
satisfy its depositors' requirements and to meet customers' credit needs. At
September 30, 1999, cash, securities classified as available for sale and
federal funds sold were 21.05% of total interest-earning assets compared to
23.05% at December 31, 1998. Additional sources of liquidity available to the
Company include its capacity to borrow additional funds through correspondent
banks.

CAPITAL

         The Company's financial position at September 30, 1999 reflects
liquidity and capital levels currently adequate to fund anticipated future
business expansion. Capital ratios are well 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.

         Stockholders' equity reached $15,448 at the end of the third quarter of
1999 compared to $15,142 at December 31, 1998. The leverage ratio consists of
Tier I capital divided by quarterly average assets. At September 30, 1999, the
Company's leverage ratio was 10.33% compared to 10.66% at December 31, 1998.
Each of these exceeds the required minimum leverage ratio of 4%.

OTHER
         The Company is cognizant of the risks posed by the Year 2000(Y2K) issue
for both our operation and our borrowers. The Company continues to place a high
priority on our Y2K efforts to identify any potential problems and to take
necessary corrective action. Our Y2K committee, which has representation from
all areas of the Bank, including senior management, continues to meet at least
monthly to monitor servicers and business partners in their efforts to be Y2K
prepared as well as to complete our internal testing and remediation projects.
Inventory and assessment of all Y2K related items was initially completed in
April 1998.

         The Company neither develops or supports code for any information
systems; therefore, our remediation efforts have been toward soliciting
compliance from our vendors, business partners and servicers and on-site
testing. The Company has identified all core and business critical applications
and the hardware utilized for each. Our environmental systems such as HVAC and
security systems have been addressed. Y2K compliance from the vendors for these
areas has been sought, and the Company notes that these applications are
currently compliant or the vendor has submitted an acceptable timeline for
compliance. The Company is monitoring the compliance efforts of such vendors and
notes that in all cases timelines are being substantially adhered to.

         A written testing strategy has been developed and internal mission
critical testing is now completed without a single testing failure. Internal
testing included, but was not limited to, the century rollover date on all
hardware and software components followed by a complete update of core financial
programs. Six other critical dates were tested utilizing unit tests, as well as
integrated tests, where appropriate. Testing with third party servicers has been
completed. The Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond has provided comprehensive
testing opportunities for our on-line connection. The Company has completed Y2K
testing for each of the applications in use with the Federal Reserve.
Third-party testing included data exchange where appropriate. All testing is
documented and reviewed for acceptance by our internal audit department. In
addition, documentation of the acceptance process will be made available for
review by our federal regulators. The Company continues to be vigilant regarding
any newly acquired Information Technology (IT) products and applications and
performs appropriate testing. Testing and evaluation of testing has been
completed and all remediated items are in production.

         The Company has identified credit risks associated with borrowers who
may not be Y2K prepared through inquiry and completion of a readiness
questionnaire. A bankwide credit risk assessment was completed and submitted to
the Board of Directors in the fall of 1998. All new commercial credits continue
to be evaluated for Y2K risk. Our lending area has completed reevaluation of any
credit risk originally designated with medium or higher risk to determine their
current Y2K status. This reevaluation showed that less than 2% of the Company's
commercial loan portfolio was rated above low risk. The Company continues to
monitor these credits. Methods to further reduce Company risk in this area have
also been established. Methods to reduce risk would be to require additional
collateral, require additional cosigners, or call the note.

                                       14

<PAGE>

         The Company continues to focus on the validation of the contingency
plans developed to ensure business continuity throughout potential disruptions
possible in the century change. A separate contingency task force has been
established to direct the implementation and training necessary for a successful
plan. This plan would enable the Company to continue to operate in the event of
disruption of service from outside partners. The Y2K contingency plan has been
incorporated into the Company's business continuity plan and is in independent
review. Eleven teams have been developed to address contingency concerns in
identified areas. Contingency team training and validation will continue
throughout the year.

         Although contingency plans address a number of scenarios, the Company
does not believe it is possible for any business to address the potentially
unlimited number of scenarios related to Y2K issues. Management does not
believe, in the most likely worse case scenarios, Y2K will have a material
effect on the Company's results of operations, liquidity or financial condition.
Although considered highly unlikely, management realizes that if its Y2K
assessment, remediation or contingency plans prove to be inadequate, it could
have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, liquidity
or financial condition.

         The Company notes that resources to address Y2K issues have been
included in the budget approved by the Board of Directors. The estimated 1999
Y2K budget is $15. $5 was expensed for the nine months ended September 30, 1999.

         The Company has confidence in our preparedness for the millennium
change and in our ability to continue to successfully operate and handle the
transactions of our customers.
