NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note A - Basis of Presentation

The accounting and reporting policies of One Valley conform to generally 
accepted accounting principles and practices in the banking industry.  All 
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in 
consolidation.  The interim financial information included in this report is 
unaudited.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair 
presentation of the results of the interim periods have been made.  These notes 
are presented in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
included in the Annual Report of One Valley.

Note B - Accounting Change

Effective January 1, 1994, One Valley adopted the provisions of FASB Statement 
115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities."  In 
accordance with the provisions of the Statement, One Valley reevaluated its 
classification of securities and assigned a portion of its securities investment
as available-for-sale.  Securities designated available-for-sale are presented 
at fair value.  The corresponding unrealized gain or loss on these securities 
due to any difference between historical cost and current fair value is 
presented as a component of Shareholders' Equity, net of deferred taxes.  
Securities designated as available-for-sale at December 31, 1993 approximated 
$632,380.  The effect of adopting this Statement was to increase the opening 
balance of shareholders' equity at January 1, 1994 by $4,765, which was the net 
unrealized gain on securities available-for-sale of $7,942, net of $3,177 in 
deferred income taxes.  At March 31, 1994, securities available-for-sale had a 
historical cost of $589,516, with a net unrealized loss of approximately $258, 
which decreased shareholders' equity by $154, net of $104 in deferred income 
taxes.

The amortized cost and estimated fair values of securities available-for-sale 
are summarized as follows:

Note C - Mergers

At the close of business on January 28, 1994, One Valley acquired all of the 
outstanding stock of Mountaineer Bankshares of W.Va., Inc. in exchange for 
4,350,000 shares of One Valley common stock.  This combination was accounted for
as a pooling-of-interest.  Accordingly, all prior period financial information 
has been restated to reflect the merger of the two companies as though they had 
always been combined.



One Valley Bancorp of West Virginia, Inc.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of 
Operations

March 31, 1994


INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY

 Net income for the first quarter of 1994 totaled $10.8 million, an 
increase of 10.1% over the $9.8 million earned in the same quarter of 1993.  On 
a per share basis, net income of $0.63 for the first quarter of 1994 increased 
10.5% over the $0.57 earned during the same period in 1993.  The improvement in 
earnings during the quarter can be attributed, in large part, to an increase in 
net interest income and a decrease in the provision for loan losses.

 Return on average assets (ROA) measures how effectively One Valley 
utilizes its assets to produce net income.  ROA was 1.24% in the first three 
months of 1994, a significant increase over the 1.16% earned during the first 
three months of 1993.  Return on average equity (ROE) also increased, from 
13.76% for the first three months of 1993 to 14.00% earned over the first three 
months of 1994.

 The following discussion is an analysis of the financial condition and 
results of operations of One Valley for the first three months of 1994.  This 
discussion should be read in conjunction with the 1993 Annual Report to 
Shareholders and the other financial information included in this report.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Interest Income

 Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 1994 was $39.2 
million on a fully tax-equivalent basis, a 7.5% increase from the $36.5 million 
earned during the same period in 1993.  This increase is largely due to an 
increase in earning assets greater than the increase in interest bearing 
liabilities during the first quarter comparision.  Average earning assets 
increased by 3.9% in the first three months of 1994 over the same period in 
1993, while average interest bearing liabilities increased by 1.7% in the same 
comparison. Both total interest income and total interest expense decreased from
the prior year due to the decline in the interest rate environment, however, the
net margin increased.
 
 As the interest rate environment declined over the past months, the rate 
of decline in the yield on earning assets was slightly less than the decline in 
costs of interest bearing liabilities.  As shown in the consolidated average 
balance sheets (page 16), the yield on earning assets, declined 38 basis points 
to 7.68% in the first three months of 1994 from 8.06% in the first three months 
of 1993.  During the same period, the cost of interest bearing liabilities 
declined 57 basis points to 3.30% from last year's 3.87% level.  Due to the 
higher volume of earning assets, the net interest margin increased to 4.88% 
during the first three months of 1994, compared to 4.71% during the first three 
months of 1993.  At March 31, 1994, One Valley's asset/liability structure was 
slightly asset sensitive in the six month time frame.  Thus, an increase in 
market interest rates should increase One Valley's net interest margin.

Credit Experience

 The provision for loan losses was $1.2 million for the three months ended 
March 31, 1994, a 24% decline from the $1.6 million provision during the first 
three months of 1993.  The decline in the provision for loan losses is primarily
due to the continued improvement in the quality of the loan portfolio.  As a 
percentage of average total loans, the provision for loan losses through the 
first three months of 1994 was 0.22% annualized compared to 0.31% in the first 
three months of 1993.  Net charge-offs as a percentage of average total loans in
the first three months of 1994 also decreased to 0.10% on an annualized basis, 
down from an annualized 0.17% during the first three months of 1993.

 Total non-performing assets at March 31, 1994 were 0.53% of period-end 
loans, a decrease from the 0.58% at year-end 1993 and a further decline from the
1.06% at March 31, 1993.  Loans past due over 90 days have also declined.  At 
March 31, 1994, loans past due over 90 days were 0.13% of outstanding loans, a 
decrease from the 0.15% at year-end 1993 and 0.17% at March 31, 1993.  The 
dollar amounts of both non-performing assets and loans past due over 90 days 
have also declined proportionately from levels recorded at year-end 1993 and one
year ago, as reflected in the analysis on page 15. 

 With the improved credit quality of the loan portfolio, the allowance for 
loan losses has decreased in relationship to the loan portfolio.  At March 31, 
1994, the allowance was 1.71% of outstanding loans, compared to 1.82% one year 
ago and 1.68% at year-end 1993.  

 In May 1993, the FASB issued Statement 114, Accounting for the Impairment 
of a Loan, to be adopted for years beginning after December 15, 1994.  Due to 
rules already established by bank regulatory authorities, management believes 
that it substantially complies with the material provisions of Statement 114.  
Accordingly, the adoption of this Statement is not anticipated to have a 
material effect on One Valley's financial statements.

Non-Interest Income and Expense

 Total non-interest income was $9.1 million through the first three months 
of 1994, down 6.5% from the $9.7 million earned during the same period in 1993. 
Trust income increased by 15.3%, or $0.2 million, over the first three months of
last year primarily due to an increase in the number of trust accounts and 
growth in the size of existing trust accounts. Service charges on deposit 
accounts increased by 0.9% in the first three month comparisons due to increases
in the customer base.  Other service charges and fees increased by $0.5 million 
due to increases in investment fees and other commissions One Valley has earned 
on new products and services offered.  These increases were more than offset by 
declines in mortgage loan processing and service fees and other operating 
income.  As interest rates declined in 1993, mortgages serviced by One Valley 
for others have refinanced or paid-off, thus reducing One Valley's servicing fee
revenue.  Furthermore, recent increases in interest rates have also reduced the 
fees from the origination and sale of loans in the secondary market.  With the 
decline in the mortgage loan servicing portfolio, it is anticipated that 
throughout the remainder of 1994 servicing fee revenue will be significantly 
lower than the prior year.  Other operating income decreased by $0.9 million due
to decreases in checkbook sales and other income related to the acquired 
Atlantic loan portfolio.  Income from security transactions increased by $0.2 
million in the first quarter of 1994 due to a change in investment strategies 
corresponding to the adoption of FAS 115. 

 Total non-interest expense was $29.6 million during the three months 
ended March 31, 1994, up 0.9% over the same period in 1993.  Staff costs rose 
2.0% in 1994 when compared to 1993, reflecting salary and benefit increases.  
Occupancy expense increased by 9.4% in the first quarter of 1994 due to 
increases in utility costs and real estate taxes. Equipment expenses decreased 
by $0.6 million due to the outsourcing of data processing services from an 
inhouse system.  This decline is partially offset by a $0.4 million increase in 
outside data processing costs.  FDIC insurance increased by 1.9% due to deposit 
growth. Other operating expenses remained relatively flat in 1994 when compared 
to the first quarter of 1993.

 The net overhead ratio (non-interest expense less non-interest income 
excluding security transactions divided by average earning assets) is a measure 
of the company's ability to control costs and equalizes the comparison of 
differently sized operations.  As this ratio decreases, more of the net interest
margin earned flows to net income.  One Valley's net overhead ratio for the 
first three months of 1994 was 2.56%, down from 2.68% during all of 1993 but up 
from the 2.51% during the first three months of 1993.  The increase in the first
quarter of 1994 when compared to the first quarter of 1993 is largely due to the
declines in non-interest income discussed above.


 Income tax expense increased by $0.8 million, or 17.4%, for the first 
three months of 1994 in comparison to 1993.  The increase in taxes is a result 
of the 12.4% growth in pretax earnings and an increase in corporate income rates
enacted during the third quarter 1993.  One Valley's effective income tax rate 
for the first three months of 1994 was 32.7% versus 31.3% for the same period 
last year.


FINANCIAL CONDITION

Asset Structure

 Total loans continued to grow when compared to the first quarter of 1993.  
At March 31, 1994, total loans exceeded March 31, 1993, levels by 8.7% or $174.2
million  The consolidated loan-to-deposit ratio has also increased to 73.3% at 
March 31, 1994, compared to 69.4% at March 31, 1993.  Since year-end 1993, total
loans have increased by 0.2% or $4.3 million, primarily in the real estate 
lending area.

 Investment portfolio assets decreased $10.9 million or 1.0% from the 
level at year-end but remain relatively unchanged from the level one year ago.  
Due to strong loan demand during 1993, growth in the investment portfolio has 
been relatively modest as One Valley has been able to place more of its 
investable funds into the higher yielding loan portfolio.

 Effective January 1, 1994, One Valley adopted the provisions of FASB 
Statement 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity 
Securities."  In accordance with the provisions of the Statement, One Valley 
reevaluated its classification of securities at December 31, 1993 and assigned a
portion of those securities as available-for-sale.  The effect of adopting this 
Statement was to increase shareholders' equity at January 1, 1994 by $4.8 
million, which was the unrealized gain on securities available-for-sale of $7.9 
million, net of $3.1 million in deferred income taxes.  At March 31, 1994, 
securities available-for-sale had a historical cost of $589.5 million, with an 
unrealized loss of approximately $0.3 million, which decreased shareholders' 
equity by $0.2 million, net of $0.1 million in deferred income taxes.   

 At the time of purchase, management determines the appropriate 
classification of securities.  If management has the positive intent and One 
Valley has the ability at the time of purchase to hold securities until 
maturity, they are classified as held-for-investment and carried at amortized 
historical cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of 
discounts, which are recognized as adjustments to interest income.  Securities 
to be held for indefinite periods of time and not intended to be held to 
maturity or on a long-term basis are classified as available-for-sale and 
carried at fair value.  The corresponding difference between the historical cost
and the current fair value of these securities, the unrealized gain or loss, is 
an adjustment to shareholders' equity, net of deferred taxes.  Securities 
available-for-sale include securities that management intends to use as part of 
its asset/liability management strategy and that may be sold in response to 
changes in interest rates, resultant prepayment risk, and other factors related 
to interest rate and resultant prepayment risk changes.

 In order to improve its fully tax equivalent net interest income and to 
hedge against higher income tax rates, One Valley increased its holdings of tax-
exempt securities that were offering attractive yields, in the latter part of 
1993.  As shown on the consolidated average balance sheet (page 16), average 
tax-exempt securities in the first quarter of 1994 increased by 89% over the 
average first quarter 1993 level.  One Valley will continue to monitor its 
investment opportunties and may purchase additional tax-exempt securities of 
similar yield and quality.

 Federal funds sold at March 31, 1994 were $38.4 million, up $7.2 million 
from year-end but down $107.1 from a year ago.  The decline since March 31, 1993
was partially in response to the strong loan demand experienced in 1993.  
Fluctuations in federal funds sold are normal and largely due to planned changes
in the company's asset/liability structure in order to maximize the return on 
investment in response to changes in the interest rate environment.

Liability Structure
  
 Total deposits increased $29.6 million or 1.0% from the level at year-end 
and increased $83.3 million or 2.9% since March 31, 1993.  Non-interest deposits
have increased by 5.3% from year-end, and have increased by 12.4% since March 
31, 1993.  Interest bearing deposits at March 31, 1994, increased $7.8 million 
or 0.3% from year-end and $35.6 million or 1.4% from one year ago.  Because of 
the low interest rate environment, deposit customers are shortening the 
maturities of their deposit reinvestments and seeking higher yielding non-
traditional investment alternatives.  One Valley continues to market alternative
products to meet the changing needs of its customers in order to expand its 
customer base.
  
 Total short-term borrowings decreased $45.9 million or 21.0% from the 
year-end level, but only $24.8 million or 12.6% from the level at March 31, 
1993, primarily due to decreases in overnight repurchase agreements.  Short-term
borrowings, which consist of Federal funds purchased from correspondent banks 
and repurchase agreements with large corporate and public entities, can 
fluctuate significantly depending upon the customers' cash needs and the 
interest rate environment.  

 Long-term borrowings declined $3.9 million or 17.1% since year-end 1993 
and $21.2 million or 52.9% since March 31, 1993.  During 1993, One Valley paid-
off $10.0 million of debt incurred in the purchase of its headquarters, $1.2 
million of debt incurred in the purchase of an affiliate, and another $6.1 
million in Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances which were incurred to fund 
investments in mortgage backed securities.  In 1994, One Valley paid down 
another $3.9 million of its FHLB borrowings.  The $18.9 of long-term borrowings 
at March 31, 1994 was principally consist of FHLB advances used to fund 
investments in mortgage backed securites.  Approximately, $12.0 of these 
advances mature in 1995, and another $5.0 million mature in 1996.

Capital Structure and Liquidity

 One Valley's equity-to-asset ratio has increased since year-end.  At 
March 31, 1994, the ratio was 8.92% compared to 8.68% at December 31, 1993, and 
8.36% one year ago.  Due to strong earnings the ratio has steadily increased.  
One Valley's cash dividend totaling $0.22 per share in the first quarter of 
1994, was up 10.0% over the $0.20 per share dividend during the same period in 
1993.  One Valley's dividend policy coupled with the continued growth in net 
income, demonstrates management's commitment to a stable equity-to-asset ratio 
benefiting both the investor and the depositors of the local community.  One 
Valley's risk based capital ratio at March 31, 1994 was 15.0%, well above the 
8.0% required, while its Tier I capital ratio was 13.7%.  One Valley's strong 
capital position is demonstrated further by its leverage ratio of 8.8% compared 
to a regulatory guidance of 4.0% to 5.0%.  The capital ratios of the banking 
subsidiaries also remain strong and allow them to effectively serve the 
communities in which they are located.

 The capital positions of the banks, coupled with proper asset/liability 
matching and the stable nature of the primarily consumer base of core deposits, 
results in the maintenance of a strong liquidity position.  The liquidity of the
parent company is dependent upon dividends from its banking subsidiaries which, 
although restricted by banking regulations, are adequate to meet its cash needs.

Effects of Changing Prices

 The results of operations and financial condition presented in this 
report are based on historical cost, unadjusted for the effects of inflation.  
Inflation affects One Valley in two ways.  One is that inflation can result in 
increased operating costs which must be absorbed or recovered through increased 
prices for services.  The second effect is on the purchasing power of the 
corporation.  Virtually all of a bank's assets and liabilities are monetary in 
nature.  Regardless of changes in prices, most assets and liabilities of the 
banking subsidiaries will be converted into a fixed number of dollars.  Non-
earning assets, such as premises and equipment, do not comprise a major portion 
of One Valley's assets; therefore, most assets are subject to repricing on a 
more frequent basis than in other industries.  One Valley's ability to offset 
the effects of inflation and potential reductions in future purchasing power 
depends primarily on its ability to maintain capital levels by adjusting prices 
for its services and to improve net interest income by maintaining an effective 
asset/liability mix.
