                                   STOCK SPLIT

ALTAVISTA,  VA (MAY 12, 2000) Pinnacle  Bankshares  Corporation  announced today

Bankshares  Corporation,  said "The split will create new shares  which  reflect
growth of the holding  company since it was formed in May, 1997. The two-for-one
split should also enhance public interest in Pinnacle's stock, while at the same
time providing availability of more shares for purchase and sale."

outstanding.  After the split, there will be 1,441,340  outstanding  shares. The
