PART I
Item 1. Business
ONE VALLEY BANCORP OF WEST VIRGINIA, INC.
The Board of Directors of One Valley Bank, National Association,
formerly Kanawha Valley Bank, National Association ("One Valley Bank"),
caused One Valley Bancorp of West Virginia, Inc. ("One Valley"), a West
Virginia corporation, to be formed, through a corporate reorganization,
as a single bank holding company holding all of the common stock of One
Valley Bank. On September 4, 1981, the effective date of the
reorganization, the shareholders of One Valley Bank exchanged their
shares of Kanawha Valley Bank common stock for shares of One Valley
common stock, $10 par value ("One Valley Common Stock"), and became
shareholders of One Valley, and One Valley Bank became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of One Valley.
As of December 31, 1994, One Valley owned eleven operating
banking subsidiaries (the "Banking Subsidiaries") including: One Valley
Bank, National Association; One Valley Bank of Huntington, Inc.; One
Valley Bank of Mercer County, Inc.; One Valley Bank - East, National
Association; One Valley Bank of Oak Hill, Inc.; One Valley Bank of
Ronceverte, National Association; One Valley Bank of Morgantown, Inc.;
One Valley Bank of Summersville, Inc.; One Valley Bank - North, Inc.;
One Valley Bank of Clarksburg, National Association; and One Valley Bank
of Marion County, National Association. In addition, One Valley owns
100% of the outstanding stock of One Valley Square, Inc., a Texas
corporation, which owns the office building in which One Valley Bank and
One Valley are located. (All of these subsidiaries, including the
Banking Subsidiaries, are collectively referred to as the
"Subsidiaries".) One Valley's principal activities consist of owning
and supervising its Subsidiaries. At December 31, 1994, One Valley had
consolidated assets of $3,673,241,000, deposits of $2,926,479,000, and
shareholders' equity of $321,867,000.
One Valley has, from time to time, engaged in merger or
acquisition discussions with other banks and financial institutions both
within and outside of West Virginia, and it is anticipated that such
discussions will continue in the future.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
On September 2, 1994, One Valley announced the execution of an
Agreement and Plan of Merger to acquire Point Bancorp, Inc. ("Point").
Point owns 100% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Point
Pleasant Federal Savings Bank. The
4
<PAGE>
transaction was consummated on March 15, 1995. As of December 31, 1994
assets of Point were $57,063,000 and its deposits were $42,734,000.
Following consummation of the Point acquisition, the name of the federal
savings bank will be changed to One Valley Bank, F.S.B., and it will
continue to be operated as a federally-chartered savings bank.
HISTORY OF THE BANKING SUBSIDIARIES
One Valley Bank, the principal Banking Subsidiary of One Valley,
was incorporated in 1867 as a state bank under the laws of West
Virginia, with the name "The Kanawha Valley Bank". On February 10,
1975, Kanawha Valley Bank converted from a state bank to a national
banking association, and on September 1, 1987, adopted its present
corporate name. The other Banking Subsidiaries were incorporated or
chartered as state or national banks in the years indicated in the chart
below. In September 1987, One Valley adopted a common corporate
identity, primarily to promote a single corporate image for One Valley's
diverse banking operations.

OPERATIONS OF THE BANKING SUBSIDIARIES
The Banking Subsidiaries offer all services traditionally
offered by full-service commercial banks, including commercial and
individual demand and time deposit accounts, commercial and individual
loans, credit card (MasterCard and Visa) and drive-in banking services.
In addition, One Valley Bank is active in correspondent banking
services. Trust services are offered on a statewide basis. No material
portion of any of the Banking Subsidiaries' deposits has been obtained
from a single or small group of customers, and the loss of any one
customer's deposits or a small group of customers' deposits would not
have a material adverse effect on the business of any of the Banking
Subsidiaries.
Although the market areas of several of the Banking Subsidiaries
encompass a portion of the coal fields located in southern West
Virginia, an area of the State which has been economically depressed,
the coal-related loans in the loan portfolios of the Banking
Subsidiaries constitute less than 5% of One Valley's total loans
outstanding. Ten of the 23 counties within One Valley's market areas
rank among the State's top ten counties in household income, and the
Banking Subsidiaries generally serve the stronger economic areas of the
State.
The Banking Subsidiaries also offer services to customers at
various locations within their service areas by use of automated teller
machines ("ATMs"). The ATMs allow customers to make deposits and
withdrawals at convenient locations. Customers may also borrow against
their revolving lines of credit or transfer funds between deposit
accounts at those locations. Customers of any Banking Subsidiary may
conduct transactions at any One Valley ATM and, by means of the MAC
system, a regional ATM system, through the CIRRUS ATM network, can
conduct ATM transactions nationwide. Customers of any of the Banking
Subsidiaries may
6
<PAGE>
also make deposits or withdrawals at any of One Valley's 80 statewide
main office and branch locations.
As of March 1, 1995, One Valley and its Subsidiaries had
approximately 1990 full-time equivalent employees.
LEGISLATION
The 1980s was a period of significant legislative change in West
Virginia for banks and bank holding companies. During the 1980s, West
Virginia converted from a unit banking state to permit unlimited branch
banking and the interstate acquisition of banks and bank holding
companies on a reciprocal basis. Statewide unlimited branch banking
commenced on and after January 1, 1987. Interstate banking activities
became permissible on January 1, 1988. The entry by out-of-state bank
holding companies is permitted only by the acquisition of an existing
institution which has operated for two years prior to acquisition, but
not by the chartering and acquisition of de novo banks in West Virginia
by out-of-state bank holding companies or the establishment of branch
banks across state lines (either de novo or by acquisition or merger).
West Virginia also allows reciprocal interstate acquisitions by
thrift institutions such as savings and loan holding companies, savings
and loan associations, savings banks, and building and loan
associations.
Under the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and
Enforcement Act of 1989 ("FIRREA") One Valley is subject to provisions
which among other things create a so-called "cross guarantee" liability
on the part of insured depository institutions which are "commonly
controlled." This liability permits the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation ("FDIC"), as receiver of a failed insured depository
institution, to assert claims against other commonly controlled insured
depository institutions for losses suffered or reasonably anticipated to
be suffered by the FDIC with respect to such failed depository
institution.
In 1994, Congress passed the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and
Branching Efficiency Act. Under this Act, absent action to opt out or
limit interstate branching by the West Virginia Legislature, interstate
branch banking may occur after June 1, 1997. States are permitted: (i)
to opt into interstate branch banking prior to June 1, 1997; (ii) to opt
out of interstate bank branching prior to that date; (iii) to allow only
acquisitions of branches; (iv) to opt into de novo interstate branch
banking; and (v) to allow the acquisition of a branch of a bank without
acquiring the bank itself. It is too early to determine what option(s),
if any, will be adopted by the West Virginia Legislature.

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION IMPROVEMENT ACT OF 1991
In December 1991, Congress enacted the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA"), which substantially
revised the bank regulatory and funding provisions of the Federal
Deposit Insurance Act and several other federal banking statutes.
Among other things, FDICIA requires federal bank regulatory
authorities to take "prompt corrective action" with respect to
depository institutions that do not meet minimum capital requirements.
For these purposes, FDICIA establishes five capital tiers: well
capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly
undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized.
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC") and the
Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") have adopted regulations to
implement the prompt corrective action provisions of FDICIA. Among
other things, the regulations define the relevant capital measures for
the five capital categories. An institution is deemed to be "well
capitalized" if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of 10% or
greater, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6% or greater and a Tier 1
leverage ratio of 5% or greater and is not subject to a regulatory
order, agreement or directive to meet and maintain a specific capital
level for any capital measure. An institution is deemed to be
"adequately capitalized" if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of
8% or greater, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 4% or greater and,
generally, a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4% or greater and the institution
does not meet the definition of a "well capitalized" institution. An
institution that does not meet one or more of the "adequately
capitalized" tests is deemed to be "undercapitalized". If the
institution has a total risk-based capital ratio that is less than 6%, a
Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio that is less than 3%, or a leverage
ratio that is less than 3%, it is deemed to be "significantly
undercapitalized". Finally, an institution is deemed to be "critically
undercapitalized" if it has a ratio of tangible equity (as defined in
the regulations) to total assets that is equal to or less than 2%.
"Undercapitalized" institutions are subject to growth
limitations and are required to submit a capital restoration plan. If an
"undercapitalized" institution fails to submit an acceptable plan, it is
treated as if it is significantly undercapitalized. "Significantly
undercapitalized" institutions may be subject to a number of
requirements and restrictions, including orders to sell sufficient
voting stock to become adequately capitalized, requirements to reduce
total assets and cessation of receipt of deposits from correspondent
banks. "Critically undercapitalized" institutions may not, beginning 60
days after becoming "critically undercapitalized" make any payment of
principal or interest on their subordinated debt. In addition,
8
<PAGE>
"critically undercapitalized" institutions are subject to appointment of
a receiver or conservator.
Under FDICIA, a depository institution that is not "well
capitalized" is generally prohibited from accepting brokered deposits
and offering interest rates on deposits higher than the prevailing rate
in its market.
Each of One Valley's Banking Subsidiaries currently meet the
FDIC's definition of a "well capitalized" institution for purposes of
accepting brokered deposits. For the purposes of the brokered deposit
rules, a bank is defined to be "well capitalized" if it maintains a
ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-adjusted assets of at least 6%, a ratio
of total capital to risk-adjusted assets of at least 10% and a Tier 1
leverage ratio of at least 5% and is not otherwise in a "troubled
condition" as specified by its appropriate federal regulatory agency.
FDICIA directed that each federal banking agency prescribe
standards for depository institutions and depository institution holding
companies relating to internal controls, information systems, internal
audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate
exposure, asset growth, compensation, a maximum ratio of classified
assets to capital, minimum earnings sufficient to absorb losses, a
minimum ratio of market value to book value for publicly-traded shares
and such other standards as the agency deems appropriate. In December,
1993, the FDIC adopted final rules to implement these provisions of
FDICIA. The rules set forth general standards to be observed, but in
most instances do not specify operating or managerial procedures to be
followed. The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("Board
of Governors") and the OCC are in the process of issuing rules
implementing various aspects of FDICIA. At this time, One Valley
believes that the rules will not have a material adverse effect on its
operations.
FDICIA also implemented a variety of other provisions that
affected the operations of One Valley's Banking Subsidiaries, including
additional reporting requirements, revised regulatory standards for real
estate lending, "truth in savings" provisions and the requirement that a
depository institution give 90 days' prior notice to customers and
regulatory authorities before closing any branch.
COMPETITION
Vigorous competition exists in all areas where One Valley and
the Banking Subsidiaries are engaged in business. The primary market
areas served by the Banking Subsidiaries are generally defined as West
Virginia and certain adjoining areas in Kentucky, Maryland, Ohio,
Pennsylvania and Virginia.
9
<PAGE>
For most of the services which the Banking Subsidiaries perform,
they compete with commercial banks as well as other financial
institutions. For instance, savings banks, savings and loan
associations, credit unions, stock brokers, and issuers of commercial
paper and money market funds actively compete for funds and for various
types of loans. In addition, insurance companies, investment counseling
firms and other business firms and individuals offer personal and
corporate trust and investment counseling services. The opening of
branch banks within One Valley's market areas has increased competition
for the Banking Subsidiaries. Although the bank legislation has provided
an opportunity for One Valley to acquire banking subsidiaries in other
attractive banking areas of the State, it has increased competition for
One Valley in its market areas, and, with reciprocal interstate banking,
One Valley faces additional competition in efforts to acquire other
subsidiaries throughout West Virginia and in neighboring states. The
Riegle- Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act will also
increase competition among banks. With its acquisition of Point, One
Valley gained the ability to engage in interstate branching on a
nationwide basis through that subsidiary.
Until 1993, the various banks and bank-holding companies
operating in West Virginia were predominantly owned by shareholders in
West Virginia and were financed by operations arising principally in
West Virginia. During 1993, Banc One Corp., one of the largest bank
holding companies in the United States, consummated its acquisition of
Key Centurion Bancshares Inc., and Huntington Bankshares Incorporated
consummated its acquisitions of Commerce Banc Corporation and CB&T
Financial Corp. It is anticipated that other large out-of-state banks
will, over time, expand their operations into West Virginia. While One
Valley believes that it can compete effectively with out-of-state banks,
One Valley will face larger competitors which have access to increased
capital resources and which have relatively sophisticated bank holding
companies and marketing structures in place.
As of December 31, 1994, there were 16 multi-bank holding
companies and 33 one-bank holding companies in the State of West
Virginia registered with the Federal Reserve System and the West
Virginia Board of Banking and Financial Institutions ("Board of
Banking"). These holding companies are headquartered in various West
Virginia cities and control banks throughout the State of West Virginia,
including banks which compete with the Banking Subsidiaries in their
market areas. One Valley has actively competed with some of these bank
holding companies to acquire its Banking Subsidiaries.
10
<PAGE>
SUPERVISION AND REGULATION
One Valley is a bank holding company within the provisions of
the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, is registered as such, and is
subject to supervision by the Board of Governors. The Bank Holding
Company Act requires One Valley to secure the prior approval of the
Board of Governors before One Valley acquires ownership or control of
more than five percent (5%) of the voting shares or substantially all of
the assets of any institution, including another bank.
As a bank holding company, One Valley is required to file with
the Board of Governors an annual report and such additional information
as the Board of Governors may require pursuant to the Bank Holding
Company Act. The Board of Governors may also make examinations of One
Valley and of the Banking Subsidiaries. Furthermore, under Section 106
of the 1970 Amendments to the Bank Holding Company Act and the
regulations of the Board of Governors, a bank holding company and its
subsidiaries are prohibited from engaging in certain tie-in arrangements
in connection with any extension of credit or any provision of credit,
sale or lease of property or furnishing of services. In addition, the
Banking Subsidiaries are subject to certain restrictions under federal
law that limit the transfer of funds by the Banking Subsidiaries to One
Valley and its nonbanking subsidiaries, whether in the form of loans,
other extensions of credit, investments or asset purchases. Such
transfers by any Banking Subsidiaries to One Valley or any nonbanking
subsidiary are limited in amount to 10% of such Banking Subsidiary's
capital and surplus and, with respect to One Valley and all nonbanking
subsidiaries, to an aggregate of 20% of such Banking Subsidiary's
capital and surplus. Furthermore, such loans and extensions of credit
are required to be secured in specified amounts and must be fully
collateralized.
One Valley is required to register annually with the
Commissioner of Banking of West Virginia ("Commissioner") and to pay a
registration fee to the Commissioner based on the total amount of bank
deposits in banks with respect to which One Valley is a bank holding
company. Although legislation allows the Commissioner to prescribe the
registration fee, it limits the fee to ten dollars per million dollars
of deposits rounded off to the nearest million dollars. One Valley is
also subject to regulation and supervision by the Commissioner.
One Valley is required to secure the approval of the West
Virginia Board of Banking before acquiring ownership or control of more
than five percent of the voting shares or substantially all of the
assets of any institution, including another bank. West Virginia
banking law prohibits any West Virginia or non-West Virginia bank or
bank holding company from acquiring shares of a bank if the acquisition
would cause the combined deposits of all banks in the State of West
Virginia, with respect to which it is a bank holding company, to exceed
20% of the total deposits of
11
<PAGE>
all depository institutions in the State of West Virginia. The total
deposits of the Banking Subsidiaries were approximately 15% of the total
deposits in the State of West Virginia.
BANKING SUBSIDIARIES
The Banking Subsidiaries are subject to FDIC deposit insurance
assessments. The FDIC set an assessment rate for the Bank Insurance Fund
("BIF") of 0.23% which became effective on July 1, 1991. It has
recently been proposed by the FDIC that the BIF assessment rate should
be substantially decreased, however it is uncertain whether that
proposal will utimately be adopted. It is also possible, but less
likely, that BIF insurance assessments will be increased. A large
special assessment or substantial increase in the assesment rate could
have an adverse impact on One Valley's results of operations.
The operations of the Banking Subsidiaries are subject to
federal and state statutes, which apply to national and state banks.
The operations of the Banking Subsidiaries may also be subject to
regulations of the OCC, the Board of Governors, the Board of Banking and
the FDIC. Following the acquisition of Point Bancorp, Inc., the
operations of the federal savings bank will continue to be subject to
regulation by the Office of Thrift Supervision and its deposits will be
insured by the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"). It is
anticipated the SAIF insurance assessment will remain at 0.23%.
The primary supervisory authority of One Valley's national
Banking Subsidiaries is the OCC while the primary supervisory authority
of its state chartered Banking Subsidiaries is the Commissioner. These
two authorities regularly examine such areas as reserves, loans,
investments, management practices and other aspects of the operations of
the Banking Subsidiaries.
One Valley's nationally chartered Banking Subsidiaries are
chartered under the laws of the United States and, as such, are member
banks of the Federal Reserve System. Its state chartered Banking
Subsidiaries are non-member banks of the Federal Reserve except for One
Valley Bank of Summersville, which is a member bank.
The regulation and examination of One Valley and its Banking
Subsidiaries are designed primarily for the protection of depositors and
not One Valley or its shareholders.

<PAGE>
CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
The Board of Governors has issued risk-based capital guidelines for bank
holding companies, including One Valley. The guidelines establish a
systematic analytical framework that makes regulatory capital
requirements more sensitive to differences in risk profiles among
banking organizations, takes off-balance sheet exposures into explicit
account in assessing capital adequacy, and minimizes disincentives to
holding liquid, low-risk assets. Under the guidelines and related
policies, bank holding companies must maintain capital sufficient to
meet both a risk-based asset ratio test and leverage ratio test on a
consolidated basis. The risk- based ratio is determined by allocating
assets and specified off-balance sheet commitments into four weighted
categories, with higher levels of capital being required for categories
perceived as representing greater risk. The leverage ratio is determined
by relating core capital (as described below) to total assets adjusted
as specified in the guidelines. All of One Valley's Banking
Subsidiaries are subject to substantially similar capital requirements
adopted by applicable regulatory agencies.
Generally, under the applicable guidelines, the financial institution's
capital is divided into two tiers. "Tier 1", or core capital, includes
common equity, noncumulative perpetual preferred stock (excluding
auction rate issues) and minority interests in equity accounts or
consolidated subsidiaries, less goodwill and certain other intangible
assets. Bank holding companies, however, may include cumulative
perpetual preferred stock in their Tier 1 capital, up to a limit of 25%
of such Tier 1 capital. "Tier 2", or supplementary capital, includes,
among other things, cumulative and limited-life preferred stock, hybrid
capital instruments, mandatory convertible securities, qualifying
subordinated debt, and the allowance for loan losses, subject to certain
limitations, less required deductions. "Total capital" is the sum of
Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital.
Financial institutions are required to maintain a risk-based ratio of
8%, of which 4% must be Tier 1 capital. The appropriate regulatory
authority may set higher capital requirements when an institution's
particular circumstances warrant.
Financial institutions that meet certain specified criteria, including
excellent asset quality, high liquidity, low interest rate exposure and
the highest regulatory rating, are required to maintain a minimum
leverage ratio of 3%. Financial institutions not meeting these criteria
are required to maintain a leverage ratio which exceeds 3% by a cushion
of at least 100 to 200 basis points.
The guidelines also provide that financial institutions experiencing
internal growth or making acquisitions will be expected to maintain
strong capital positions substantially above the minimum supervisory
levels, without significant reliance on intangible assets. Furthermore,
the Board of Governors' guidelines indicate that
13
<PAGE>
the Board of Governors will continue to consider a "tangible Tier 1
leverage ratio" in evaluating proposals for expansion or new activities.
The tangible Tier 1 leverage ratio is the ratio of an institution's Tier
1 capital, less all intangibles, to total assets, less all intangibles.
Failure to meet applicable capital guidelines could subject the
financial institution to a variety of enforcement remedies available to
the federal regulatory authorities, including limitations on the ability
to pay dividends, the issuance by the regulatory authority of a capital
directive to increase capital and the termination of deposit insurance
by the FDIC, as well as to the measures described under FDICIA as
applicable to undercapitalized institutions.
As of December 31, 1994, the Tier 1 risk-based ratio, total risk-based
ratio and total assets leverage ratio for One Valley were as follows:
Regulatory
Requirement One Valley
Tier 1 Risk-Based Ratio 4.00% 14.21%
Total Risk-Based Ratio 8.00% 15.46%
Total Assets Leverage Ratio 3.00% 8.80%
As of December 31, 1994 all of One Valley's Banking Subsidiaries had
capital in excess of all applicable requirements.
The Board of Governors, as well as the FDIC, the OCC and the OTS, have
adopted changes to their risk-based and leverage ratio requirements that
require that all intangible assets, with certain exceptions, be deducted
from Tier 1 capital. Under the Board of Governors' rules, the only types
of intangible assets that may be included in (i.e., not deducted from) a
bank holding company's capital are readily marketable purchased mortgage
servicing rights ("PMSRs") and purchased credit card relationships
("PCCRs"), provided that, in the aggregate, that total amount of PMSRs
and PCCRs included in capital does not exceed 50% of Tier 1 capital.
PCCRs are subject to a separate sublimate of 25% of Tier 1 capital. The
amount of PMSRs and PCCRs that a bank holding company may include in its
capital is limited to the lesser of (i) 90% of such assets' fair market
value (as determined under the guidelines), or (ii) 100% of such assets'
book value, each determined quarterly. Identifiable intangible assets
(i.e., intangible assets other than goodwill) other than PMSRs and
PCCRs, including core deposit intangibles, acquired on or before
February 19, 1992 (the date the Board of Governors issued its original
proposal for public comment), generally will not be deducted from
capital for supervisory purposes, although they will continue to be
deducted for purposes of evaluating applications filed by bank holding
companies.

<PAGE>
GOVERNMENTAL POLICIES
In addition to the effect of general economic conditions, the
earnings and future business activities of the Banking Subsidiaries,
both members and non- members of the Federal Reserve, are affected by
the fiscal and monetary policies of the federal government and its
agencies, particularly the Board of Governors. The Board of Governors
regulates the national money supply in order to mitigate recessionary
and inflationary pressures. The techniques used by the Board of
Governors include setting the reserve requirements of member banks,
establishing the discount rate on member bank borrowings and conducting
open market operations in United States government securities to
exercise control over the supply of money and credit.
The policies of the Board of Governors have a direct and
indirect effect on the amount of bank loans and deposits, and the
interest rates charged and paid thereon. While the impact of current
economic problems and the policies of the Board of Governors and other
regulatory authorities designed to deal with these economic problems
upon the future business and earnings of the Banking Subsidiaries cannot
be accurately predicted, those policies can materially affect the
revenues and income of the Banking Subsidiaries.

Item 2. Properties

BYLAWS
OF
ONE VALLEY BANCORP OF WEST VIRGINIA, INC.
ARTICLE I. OFFICES
The principal offices of the Corporation shall be located in the
City of Charleston, County of Kanawha, State of West Virginia. The
Corporation may have such other offices, either within or without the
State of West Virginia, as the Board of Directors may designate or as
the business of the Corporation may require from time to time.
ARTICLE II. SHAREHOLDERS
Section 1. Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of the
shareholders shall be held on the fourth Tuesday in the month of April
in each year, at the hour of 12:00 noon, local time, or at such other
time on such other day within such month as shall be fixed by the Board
of Directors. If the day fixed for the annual meeting shall be a legal
holiday in the State of the principal office of the Corporation, such
meeting shall be held on the next succeeding business day. At an annual
meeting of the shareholders, only such business shall be conducted as
shall have been properly brought before the meeting. To be properly
brought before an annual meeting business must be (a) specified in the
notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the
direction of the Board of Directors, (b) otherwise properly brought
before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, or
(c) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a shareholder. For
business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a
shareholder, the shareholder must have given timely notice thereof in
writing to the Secretary of the Corporation. To be timely, a
shareholder's notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at the
principal executive offices of the Corporation, not less than 40 days
prior to the meeting; provided, however, that in the event that less
than 50 days' notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the
meeting is given or made to shareholders, notice by the shareholder to
be timely must be so received not later than the close of business on
the 8th day following the day on which such notice of the date of the
annual meeting was mailed or such public disclosure was made. A
shareholder's notice to the Secretary shall set forth as to each matter
the shareholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting (a) a brief
description of the business desired to be
31
<PAGE>
brought before the annual meeting and the reasons for conducting such
business at the annual meeting, (b) the name and address, as they appear
on the Corporation's books, of the shareholder proposing such business,
(c) the class and number of shares of the Corporation which are
beneficially owned by the shareholder, and (d) any material interest of
the shareholder in such business. Notwithstanding anything in the
Bylaws to the contrary, no business shall be conducted at an annual
meeting except in accordance with the procedures set forth in this
Section 1. The Chairman of an annual meeting shall, if the facts
warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that business was not
properly brought before the meeting and in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 1, and if he should so determine, he shall so
declare to the meeting and any such business not properly brought before
the meeting shall not be transacted.
Section 2. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the
shareholders, for any purpose or purposes, may be called by the Chairman
of Board, if any, President, Secretary, or by the Board of Directors,
and shall be called by the President at the request of the holders of
not less than one-tenth of all outstanding shares of the Corporation
entitled to vote at the meeting.
Section 3. Place of Meeting. The Board of Directors may
designate any place, either within or without the State of West
Virginia, as the place of meeting for any annual meeting or for any
special meeting called by the Board of Directors. If no designation is
made, or if a special meeting be otherwise called, the place of meeting
shall be the principal office of the Corporation.
Section 4. Notice of Meeting. Written notice stating the
place, day and hour of the meeting and, the purpose or purposes for
which the meeting is called, shall be delivered not less than ten nor
more than fifty days before the date of the meeting, either personally
or by mail, by or at the direction of the Chairman of the Board,
President, Secretary or the officer of other persons calling the
meeting, to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting.
If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in
the United States mail, addressed to the shareholder at his address as
it appears on the stock transfer books of the Corporation, with postage
thereon prepaid.
Section 5. Closing of Transfer Books or Fixing of Record Date.
For the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or
vote at any meeting of shareholders or any adjournment thereof, or
shareholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend, or in order to
make a determination of shareholders for any other proper purpose, the
Board of Directors of the Corporation may provide that the stock
transfer books shall be closed for a stated period but not to exceed, in
any case, fifty days. If the stock transfer books shall be closed for
the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote
at a meeting of
32
<PAGE>
shareholders, such books shall be closed for at least ten days
immediately preceding such meeting. In lieu of closing the stock
transfer books, the Board of Directors may fix in advance a date as the
record date for any such determination of shareholders, such date in any
case to be not more than fifty days and, in case of a meeting of
shareholders, not less than ten days prior to the date on which the
particular action, requiring such determination of shareholders, is to
be taken. If the stock transfer books are not closed and no record date
is fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of or
to vote at a meeting of shareholders, or shareholders entitled to
received payment of a dividend, the date on which notice of the meeting
is mailed or the date on which the resolution of the Board of Directors
declaring such dividend is adopted, as the case may be, shall be the
record date for such determination of shareholders. When a
determination of shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of
shareholders has been made as provided in this section, such
determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof.
Section 6. Voting Record. The officer or agent having charge
of the stock transfer books for shares of the Corporation shall make a
complete record of the shareholders entitled to vote at each meeting of
shareholders or any adjournment thereof, arranged in alphabetical order,
with the address of and the number of shares held by each. Such record
shall be produced and kept open at the time and place of the meeting and
shall be subject to the inspection of any shareholder during the whole
time of the meeting for the purposes thereof.
Section 7. Quorum. A majority of the outstanding shares of the
Corporation entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, shall
constitute a quorum at a meeting of shareholders. If less than a
majority of the outstanding shares are represented at a meeting, a
majority of the shares so represented may adjourn the meeting from time
to time without further notice. At such adjourned meeting at which a
quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted
which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally noticed.
The shareholders present at a duly organized meeting may continue to
transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of
enough shareholders to leave less than a quorum.
Section 8. Proxies. At all meetings of shareholders, a
shareholder may vote in person or by proxy executed in writing by the
shareholder or by his duly authorized attorney-in-fact. Such proxy
shall be filed with the Secretary of the Corporation before or at the
time of the meeting. No proxy shall be valid after eleven months from
the date of its execution, unless otherwise provided in the proxy.
33
<PAGE>
Section 9. Voting of Shares. Subject to the provisions of
Section 12 of this Article II, each outstanding share entitled to vote
shall be entitled to one vote upon each matter submitted to a vote at a
meeting of shareholders.
Section 10. Voting of Shares by Certain Holders. Shares
standing in the name of another corporation may be voted by such
officer, agent or proxy as the bylaws of such corporation may prescribe,
or, in the absence of such provision, as the Board of Directors of such
other corporation may determine.
Shares held by an administrator, executor, guardian, committee,
curator, or conservator may be voted by him, either in person or by
proxy, without a transfer of such shares into his name. Shares standing
in the name of a trustee may be voted by him, either in person or by
proxy, but no trustee shall be entitled to vote shares held by him
without a transfer of such shares into his name.
Shares standing in the name of a receiver may be voted by such
receiver, and shares held by or under the control of a receiver may be
voted by such receiver without the transfer thereof into his name if
authority to do so be contained in an appropriate order of the court by
which such receiver was appointed.
A shareholder whose shares are pledged shall be entitled to vote
such shares until the shares have been transferred into the name of the
pledgee, and thereafter the pledgee shall be entitled to vote the shares
so transferred.
Neither treasury shares of its own stock held by the Corporation
nor shares held by another corporation if a majority of the shares
entitled to vote for the election of directors of such other corporation
are held by the Corporation, shall be voted at any meeting or counted in
determining the total number of outstanding shares at any given time for
purposes of any meeting.
Section 11. Informal Action by Shareholders. Any action
required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the shareholders may
be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the
action so taken, shall be signed by all of the shareholders entitled to
vote with respect to the subject matter thereof.
Section 12. Cumulative Voting. At each election for directors
every shareholder entitled to vote at such election shall have the right
to vote, in person or by proxy, the number of shares owned by him for as
many persons as there are directors to be elected and for whose election
he has a right to vote, or to cumulate his votes by giving one candidate
as many votes as the number of such directors multiplied by the number
of his shares shall equal, or by distributing such votes on the same
principle among any number of such candidates.

of the meeting and in such case the votes cast for each such nominee
shall likewise be disregarded.

chairman of the annual meeting of shareholders shall have the right and
authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do
all such acts and things as are necessary or desirable for the proper
conduct of the meeting, including, without limitation: maintenance of

in which the vacancy occurred and until such director's successor shall

REPORT TO CUSTOMERS, EMPLOYEES, OWNERS, AND FRIENDS
In the face of the Federal Reserve increasing interest rates six times and
250 basis points during the year, One Valley realized record profitability in
1994. As previously announced, One Valley's performance reached record levels
in net income per share, net income, loans and shareholders' equity while
deposits were relatively flat for the year. Key asset quality measures also
continued to improve in 1994.
Net income per share rose to $2.70 in 1994, up 22.7% from the $2.20 earned
in 1993. Net income for the year totaled $46.2 million versus $38.0 million for
the prior year which resulted in record annual returns of 1.31% on average
assets and 14.64% on shareholders' equity. Shareholders' equity increased 5.5%
to $321.9 million at year-end giving One Valley an 8.9% average equity-to-asset
ratio for the year. One Valley's risk based capital ratio, a regulatory measure
of capitalization, ended the year at 15.5%, well above the regulatory
requirement of 8.0%. Cash dividends declared in 1994 increased 11.9% to $0.94
per share versus $0.84 per share declared in 1993.
The improvement in One Valley's earnings in 1994 was mainly attributable to
higher net interest income, lower non-interest expense, and a lower provision
for loan losses. Higher net interest income was reflected in the net interest
margin, which rose to 4.98% in 1994 compared to 4.77% in 1993. Non-interest
expense declined 3.7% from 1993 primarily due to the non-recurring expenses in
the latter half of 1993 related to One Valley's data processing systems
conversion and the Mountaineer Bankshares merger. The provision for loan losses
declined to $4.8 million in 1994 versus $5.8 million in 1993 due to the
continued improvement in the credit quality of the loan portfolio. The increase
in net interest income and decrease in non-interest expense together with the
lower provision for loan losses more than offset a decrease in non-interest
income for 1994.
One Valley's asset quality ratios continued to improve and remain among the
best in the industry. Net loan charge-offs for the year decreased to $3.8
million versus $5.0 million in 1993. Net charge-offs as a percentage of
average total loans decreased to 0.17% in 1994 compared to 0.24% in 1993.
Although the provision for loan losses decreased in 1994 paralleling the
improvement in the quality of the loan portfolio, the $37.4 million allowance
for loan losses was 1.58% of year-end total loans. Non-performing assets plus
loans 90 days past due at December 31, 1994 declined to $13.5 million or 0.57%
of total loans compared to the $15.7 million or 0.73% of total loans at year-
end 1993. The $13.5 million of non-performing assets and loans was covered 278%
by the $37.4 million allowance for loan losses at year-end 1994, a very strong
coverage relative to peer group banking companies.
The "Management's Discussion and Analysis" section on pages 6 through 22
provides a detailed analysis of the financial condition and results of
operations of One Valley for 1994 and prior years and should be carefully read.

(Bullet) Net income grew at a 19.3% compound annual rate over the past five
years, while net income per share had a 16.7% compound growth rate during this
same period. Additionally, the return on average assets averaged 1.08% over
the past five years while the return on average equity averaged 13.09%
(Bullet) Net interest income over the last five years grew at a 10.5%
compound annual rate. Non-interest income (excluding security transactions)
had a five-year compound annual growth rate of 17.6% while non-interest expense
grew at a compound rate of 9.9% during the same period.
(Bullet) One Valley's efficiency ratio goal (non-interest expense divided by
the sum of fully taxable equivalent net interest income plus non-interest
income) for 1994 was to be below 60% by year-end. This measure, which One
Valley uses to evaluate its operational efficiency, was 60.1% in 1994 versus
65.4% in 1993 and reflects the synergies derived from the Mountaineer
Bankshares merger.
(Bullet) Major components of the balance sheet reflect five-year compound
annual growth rates as follows: average total assets 8.3%; average net loans
10.3%; average deposits 7.7%; and average equity 11.3%.
(Bullet) One Valley's equity-to-average assets over the past five years
averaged 8.2%, which reflects a strong capital position in the industry.
(Bullet) Cash dividends per share grew at a 10.9% compound annual rate
during the last five years.
(Bullet) Other significant events for One Valley Bancorp during 1994 include:
(Bullet) The successful integration of Mountaineer Bankshares into One Valley
Bancorp whereby most financial goals were achieved. Synergies from the merger
included the sale of buildings, consolidation and renovation of offices, and the
mergers of several affiliate banks resulting in eleven separate affiliate banks.

REPORT TO CUSTOMERS, EMPLOYEES, OWNERS, AND FRIENDS
(Bullet) The announcement of the agreement to acquire Point Bancorp, Inc.,
a $57 million savings and loan holding company located in Mason County, West
Virginia, with an anticipated closing in March 1995.
(Bullet) The successful statewide introduction of four new full service
checking account products (Valley Checking, Valley Checking Gold, Valley 50,
and Valley 50 Gold) that are designed to fit our customers' lifestyles.
(Bullet) With almost $300 million in total fund assets at year-end 1994,
The OVB Funds, a family of proprietary mutual funds for which One Valley Bank,
National Association serves as investment adviser, ranked 90th in size among
bank and thrift advised mutual funds across the country.
(Bullet) In connection with One Valley's pursuit to make The OVB Funds
available to its customers, 37 employees passed their NASD Securities
examination.
(Bullet) One Valley expanded its international banking services statewide
to meet the needs of its customers. In terms of manufacturing shipments, West
Virginia is the sixth largest exporting state in the country. International
banking will provide new sources of income to One Valley in future years.
(Bullet) "One Financial Place," which provides consolidated trust services,
expanded its statewide presence to eight locations with the addition of the
Clarksburg/Fairmont and Wheeling/Moundsville offices. One Financial Place's
85 employees administer over $2.6 billion in trust assets.
(Bullet) One Valley Bank of Morgantown was awarded Preferred Lender status
by the Small Business Administration (SBA). As a Preferred Lender, the bank
is able to underwrite, approve and close SBA loans and then simply report them
to the SBA. This process provides customers with a quicker turnaround on their
loan applications.
(Bullet) One Valley continues to be ranked as one of the top banking
companies in the country. Using a composite quality ranking, Keefe, Bruyette
& Woods, Inc. ranked One Valley 19th out of the 133 commercial banks it follows
nationwide in its December 1994 BANKSCAN report. In this report, One Valley
was the highest ranked bank doing business in West Virginia, including our
larger competitors who are headquartered out of state. We are proud of this
recognition of our efforts to bring quality products and services to you our
customers and shareholders.
(Bullet) One Valley's 2,000 employees, through their hard work and
dedication, brought about the successful integration of Mountaineer Bankshares
and produced record financial results in 1994. In recognition of their
efforts, the company awarded them a year-end bonus.
While it is anticipated that the Federal Reserve will continue to nudge up
interest rates in early 1995, One Valley's customers, employees and owners
should experience another rewarding year in 1995. As our economy and society
continue to undergo rapid change, One Valley must likewise continue to learn to
not only survive, but thrive on this change to meet the challenges ahead. With
our ongoing process of continuous improvement, we will expand our efforts to
provide quality service and products that meet or exceed our customers'
expectations, create a challenging and rewarding environment for our employees,
and return a reasonable profit for our shareholders while giving back to the
communities we serve.
Respectfully yours,
(Signature -- J. Holmes Morrison)

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
INTRODUCTION
One Valley Bancorp of West Virginia, Inc. (One Valley) is a multi-bank
holding company headquartered in Charleston, West Virginia. It operates eleven
bank subsidiaries ranging in size from $103 million to $1.6 billion. Through
these banks, One Valley serves 50 cities and towns with a full range of banking
services in 79 locations strategically located throughout the State. One Valley
is also the parent of a real estate management corporation that owns and
operates a fifteen-floor office building in Charleston, West Virginia. This
office building is the headquarters for One Valley Bancorp and the main location
of its lead bank. At December 31, 1994, One Valley had approximately $3.7
billion in assets, $2.4 billion in total loans, and $2.9 billion in total
deposits.
One Valley entered into a significant merger agreement with Mountaineer
Bankshares of W.Va., Inc. (Mountaineer) in 1993. At December 31, 1993,
Mountaineer had total assets of approximately $739 million and total deposits of
approximately $608 million. The merger, which closed on January 28, 1994,
increased One Valley's market presence in the northern and eastern panhandle
regions of the State of West Virginia. This transaction has been accounted for
as a pooling-of-interests and, accordingly, all prior period financial
information has been restated, giving retroactive effect to the merger as though
it had been consummated in the earliest period presented.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the
management of One Valley in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. The audit committee of the Board of Directors engaged Ernst & Young
LLP, independent certified public accountants, to audit the consolidated
financial statements, and their report is included herein. Financial information
appearing throughout this annual report is consistent with that reported in the
consolidated financial statements. The following discussion is designed to
assist readers of the consolidated financial statements in understanding
significant changes in One Valley's financial condition and results of
operations.

Management's objective of a fair presentation of financial information is
achieved through a system of strong internal accounting controls. The financial
control system of One Valley is designed to provide reasonable assurance that
assets are safeguarded from loss and that transactions are properly authorized
and recorded in the financial records. As an integral part of that financial
control system, One Valley maintains an internal audit staff at the parent
company with audit responsibility for all of its subsidiaries. The activities of
both the internal and external audit functions are reviewed by the audit
committee of the Board of Directors.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
SUMMARY FINANCIAL RESULTS
One Valley earned $46.2 million in 1994, a 21.8% increase over the $38.0
million earned in 1993. The increase is primarily due to increased net interest
income and lower net overhead as well as a lower provision for loan losses.
This increase in earnings follows an increase in 1993 of 3.6% over the $36.6
million earned in 1992. Earnings in 1993 were significantly impacted by
expenses related to the Mountaineer merger and expenses associated with the
conversion to an outsourced data processing system. Earnings per share were
$2.70 in 1994, an increase of 22.7% over the $2.20 earned in 1993, which
compares to the 3.3% increase in 1993 over the $2.13 earned in 1992. As shown
in Table 1, the five-year compound growth rate in earnings per share since 1989
has been 16.7%.
Table 1, Six-Year Selected Financial Summary, presents summary financial
data for the past six years, 1989 through 1994, along with a five-year compound
growth rate. This table shows the expansion of One Valley due to its growth in
banking operations and its acquisition activity. Particular attention should be
paid to the sustained growth rates in Equity, Assets, Net Income and Net Loans.
The management of One Valley values balanced growth in its financial position
rather than growth for growth's sake. A solid capital base is a key strength of
One Valley. As shown in Table 1, the average equity-to-average assets ratio has
remained consistently strong over the past six years. Since 1991, this ratio
has significantly improved, a result of record earnings performances and a
public stock offering in December 1991. Table 2, Summary Statement of Net
Income, presents three years of comparative income statement information.
Table 3 comparatively illustrates the components of ROA and ROE over the
previous five years. Return on average assets (ROA) measures how effectively
One Valley utilizes its assets to produce net income. One Valley's 1994 ROA of
1.31% was a significant increase over the 1.09% ROA reported in 1993 and 1992.
As shown in Table 3, the rise in ROA is attributed primarily to the increase in
net credit income. Net credit income (net interest income less the provision
for loan losses) significantly improved in 1994, as a percent of average earning
assets, to 4.83%. This increase follows a similar increase in 1993 to 4.59%, up
from 4.40% in 1992. This trend highlights One Valley's ability to manage
interest rate and credit risk. The decrease in non-interest income in 1994 was
less than the decrease in non-interest expense and thus One Valley's net
overhead ratio (non-interest expense less non-interest income as a percentage of
average earning assets) decreased to 2.55%. While this is lower than the 2.69%
ratio in 1993, it is comparable to the 2.54% ratio in 1992.
Return on average equity (ROE), another measure of earnings performance,
indicates the amount of net income earned in relation to the total equity
capital invested. One Valley's 1994 ROE was 14.64% compared to the 12.88%
earned in 1993 and 13.62% reported in 1992.

BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS
SUMMARY
A financial institution's primary sources of revenue are generated by its
earning assets, while its major expenses are produced by the funding of these
assets with interest bearing liabilities. Effective management of these sources
and uses of funds is essential in attaining a financial institution's maximum
profitability while maintaining a minimum amount of interest rate and credit
risk. Information on rate-related sources and uses of funds for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1994, is provided in Table 4,
Average Balance Sheet / Net Interest Income Analysis.
In 1994, average earning assets grew by 2.4% or $76.5 million over 1993,
following a 3.4% or $105.6 million increase in 1993 over 1992. Average interest
bearing liabilities, the primary source of funds supporting earning assets, has
remained relatively flat over the past three years. Average interest bearing
liabilities rose by $34.8 million or 1.3% in 1994 when compared to 1993, which
follows a $45.9 million or 1.7% increase in 1993 over 1992. The relatively low
growth in average interest bearing liabilities is attributed to the lower
interest rate environment over these periods and the resulting high competition
for funds, as more fully explained below.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Additional information on each of the components of earning assets and
interest bearing liabilities is contained in the following sections of this
report.
LOAN PORTFOLIO
One Valley's loan portfolio is its largest and most profitable component
of average earning assets, totaling 67.1% of average earning assets. One Valley
continued to emphasize increasing its loan portfolio in 1994. Average net loans
increased by $172.9 million or 8.5% in 1994, following a 5.2% or $100.0 million
increase in 1993. The increase in 1994 average loans was due to a balanced
increase in the three major types of loans; commercial, real estate and
consumer installment. The increase in 1993 average loans was primarily
attributable to an increase in residential real estate loans. As a result of
these increases, average net loans have increased as a percentage of average
earning assets, from 62.2% in 1992 to 67.1% in 1994. Similarly, One Valley's
loan-to-deposit ratio continued its upward trend in 1994, Loans ending the year
at 79.8%. This ratio compares to 72.6% at December 31, 1993 and 68.1% at
December 31, 1992. Expanding affiliate market share, as well as One Valley's
carefully planned acquisition activity, have contributed greatly to the growth
in the loan portfolio.
Total loans at December 31, 1994, increased by $203.6 million or 9.4% over
the total at December 31, 1993. This increase compares to a $171.5 million or
8.6% increase in 1993 over the total loans at December 31, 1992. As mentioned
above, the increase in 1994 was in all areas of lending. Commercial loans
increased by $64.0 million or 19.2% during 1994, compared to a $32.9 or 10.9%
increase in 1993. Residential real estate loans including revolving home
equity loans increased by $77.7 million or 8.0% during 1994, compared to a
$101.6 million or 11.7% increase in 1993. Consumer installment loans increased
by $67.0 million or 14.4% in 1994, following a $11.2 million or 2.5% increase
during 1993. Commercial real estate loans, including apartment
buildings and complexes, was the only category of loans to decrease in 1994.
Declining by $13.0 million or 3.6%, commercial real estate loans have
historically only averaged less than one-sixth of the total loan portfolio.
This low concentration of such loans has limited One Valley's exposure to swings
in commercial real estate values and the potential for related credit losses.
Table 5, Loan Summary, presents a five-year comparison of loans by type.
With the exception of those categories included in the comparison, there are no
loan concentrations which exceed 10% of total loans. Additionally, One
Valley's loan portfolio contains no loans to foreign borrowers nor does it have
any material volume of highly leveraged transaction lending. Over the past
four years, total loans have increased $908 million, a result of acquisitions
and internal growth. While loan growth has been substantial, One Valley
imposes underwriting and credit standards which are designed to maintain a
quality loan portfolio.
Loans secured by real estate, which in total constituted approximately 61%
of One Valley's loan portfolio at December 31, 1994, consist of a diverse
portfolio of predominantly single family residential loans and loans for
commercial purposes where real estate is merely collateral, not the primary
source of repayment. The majority of these loans is secured by property
located within West Virginia, where real estate values have remained relatively
stable over the past ten years.
One Valley also originates residential real estate loans to be sold in the
secondary market. In 1994, $50.8 million of loans were originated to be sold
in the secondary market. This compares to approximately $163.8 million of new
loan volume originated for sale in the secondary market in 1993 and $218.5
million in 1992. This activity generates considerable processing and servicing
fee income for One Valley, as discussed further in the "Income Statement
Analysis" section of this report. The decline in the volume of loans
originated for sale in 1994 was due to the rising interest rate environment and
the resulting lower volume of mortgage refinancings when compared to 1993 and
1992.
In addition to the loans reported in Table 5, One Valley also offers certain
off-balance sheet products such as letters of credit, revolving credit
agreements, and other loan commitments. These products are offered under the
same credit standards as the loan portfolio and are included in the risk-based
capital ratios used by the Federal Reserve to evaluate capital adequacy.
Additional information on off-balance sheet commitments is contained in Note N
to the consolidated financial statements.
Table 5 also reports the level of non-performing assets and loans
contractually past due over 90 days for the last five years.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Total non-performing assets, which consist of past due loans on which
interest is not being accrued, foreclosed properties in the process of
liquidation, and loans the terms of which have been restructured to enable a
delinquent borrower to repay, were $9.7 million or 0.41% of total loans at year-
end 1994. Over the past three years One Valley has diligently worked to reduce
its level of non-performing assets, which increased significantly in 1991 due to
an acquisition.
The amount of loans contractually past due over 90 days, but which continue
to accrue interest, increased in dollars, but remained relatively flat as a
percentage of year-end total loans. At December 31, 1994, these loans
constituted only 0.16% of year-end loans, virtually unchanged from the 0.15% at
December 31, 1993. The consistently favorable ratio of problem loans to total
loans has occurred while the loan portfolio has increased significantly over the
last five years, and thus the favorable ratio is indicative of One Valley's
commitment to a quality loan portfolio. Both the increase in the size and the
credit quality of the loan portfolio have enabled One Valley to increase its net
credit income by $9.6 million or 6.7% in 1994 and $10.1 million or 7.6% in 1993.
It is One Valley's policy to place loans that are past due over 90 days on
non-accrual status, unless the loans are adequately secured and in the process
of collection. For real estate loans, upon repossession (or substantive
repossession), the balance of the loan is transferred to "Other Real Estate
Owned" (OREO) and carried at the lower of the outstanding loan balance or the
fair market value of the property based on current appraisals and other current
market trends. If a writedown of the OREO property is necessary at the time of
foreclosure, the amount is

charged off against the allowance for loan losses. A quarterly review of
the recorded property value is performed in conjunction with normal loan
reviews, and if market conditions indicate that the recorded value exceeds the
fair market value, additional write-downs of the property value are charged
directly to operations. One Valley had no commitments to provide additional
funds on non-accrual loans at December 31, 1994. During 1994, One Valley
recognized less than $0.1 million of interest on non-accrual loans, while
approximately $0.7 million would have been recognized on these loans had they
been current throughout 1994 in accordance with their original terms. In
comparison, during 1993, approximately $0.3 million was recognized on non-
accrual loans, while approximately $1.9 million would have been recognized in
accordance with their original terms.
In May 1993, the FASB issued Statement No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for
Impairment of a Loan," which was amended by FASB Statement No. 118 and is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1994. The Statement
requires that impaired loans be measured at the present value of expected
future cash flows discounted at the loan's original effective interest rate or,
as a practical expedient, at the loan's observable market price or the fair
value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. One Valley will
adopt this Statement on January 1, 1995, and it will not have a material effect
on One Valley's financial statements.
The allowance for loan losses is maintained to absorb probable losses
associated with lending activities. Factors considered in determining the
adequacy of the allowance include an individual assessment of risk on large
commercial credits, historical charge-off experience, levels of non-performing
loans, and an evaluation of current economic conditions. As a part of the
holding company structure, One Valley maintains a credit analysis and review
department to evaluate large commercial credit requests and to complete loan
follow-up procedures. One Valley also maintains a loan administration function
to continually identify and monitor problem loans. At December 31, 1994, the
allowance for loan losses was $37.4 million or 1.58% of total year-end loans,
which is sufficient to absorb nearly ten times the amount of net charge-offs
experienced during 1994. The 1.58% ratio is a decrease from the prior year's
1.68% and a further decline from the 1.79% at the end of 1992. In management's
opinion, the allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb the current
estimated risk of loss in the existing portfolio. Table 5 includes a summary
of the allowance for loan losses allocated by loan type. Table 6, Comparative
Loan Loss Information, provides a detailed history of the allowance for loan
losses, illustrating charge-offs and recoveries by loan type, and the annual
provision for loan losses over the past five years.
The provision for loan losses in 1994 was $4.8 million, down from the $5.8
million provision in 1993 and down significantly from the $11.4 million
provision in 1992. The increased provision in 1992 was in response to growth in
the loan portfolio and a continued conservative assessment of $339 million in
loans purchased from a thrift operated by Resolution Trust Corporation.
Management evaluated the loans conservatively because the loans were originated
under the former thrift's credit standards, rather than the stricter One Valley
credit standards. While One Valley experienced considerable loan growth during
1994 and 1993, the credit quality of the portfolio has improved significantly,
as evidenced by the low level of non-performing assets and the low level of net
charge-offs during those years. Thus management was able to lower the
provision for loan losses for those years and still maintain a relatively high
ratio of the allowance for loan losses to non-performing assets.
Net charge-offs in 1994 decreased by $1.1 million or 23.1% from 1993 net
charge-offs. This decrease follows a $1.3 million or 20.6% decrease in 1993 from
1992 net charge-offs. Net charge-offs as a percentage of average total loans
declined to 0.17%, which compares to 0.24% in 1993 and 0.32% in 1992. All three
of these ratios compare favorably to peer group banks across the country.
Although the dollar amount of net charge-offs could increase in the coming
months due to the increase in the total dollar amount of loans, management
anticipates for the near future, based on the credit quality of the loan
portfolio, that the ratio of net charge-offs to average total loans will
continue to remain near the historically low level One Valley has experienced
over the years.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO AND OTHER EARNING ASSETS
Investment securities averaged $1,051.0 million in 1994, a 2.2% decrease
from the $1,074.5 million averaged in 1993. This slight decrease follows a 2.4%
increase over the $1,049.5 million averaged in 1992. The decrease in the
average balance during 1994 is primarily in response to the increased loan
demand during the year, as One Valley was able to place maturing investments in
its more profitable loan portfolio. The increase in 1993 was due largely to
increases in sources of funds and a decline in the average balance of federal
funds sold, which are short-term investments with other banks.
As sources of funds (deposits, federal funds purchased, and repurchase
agreements with corporate customers) fluctuate, excess funds are initially
invested in federal funds sold and other short-term investments. Based upon
continual analyses of asset/ liability repricing, interest rate forecasts, and
liquidity requirements, funds are periodically reinvested in high-quality debt
securities, which typically mature over a longer period of time (Table 8). At
the time of purchase, management determines whether securities will be
classified as available-for-sale or held-to-maturity (held-for-investment in
1993). If classified as held-to-maturity, securities are recorded at historical
cost and adjusted monthly over their remaining lives for the accretion or
amortization of the difference between cost and maturity value of the
investments. Thus at the time of maturity, the proceeds from maturity and the
book value of the investment are equivalent and no gain or loss is recognized.
One Valley, through its size and the stable nature of its deposit base, is able
to purchase securities with a wide variety of maturities, the majority of which
are short-term.
One Valley adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) Statement No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities." for investments held as of or acquired after January 1, 1994. In
accordance with the Statement, prior period financial statements have not been
restated to reflect the change in accounting principle. The cumulative effect
of adopting this Statement as of January 1, 1994, was to increase the opening
balance of shareholders' equity by $4.8 million (net of $3.2 million in
deferred income taxes) to reflect the net unrealized holding gains on
securities classified as available-for-sale previously carried at amortized
cost. Securities designated as available-for-sale at January 1, 1994,
approximated $632 million. During 1994, One Valley sold a portion of the
securities classified as available-for-sale as part of its management of
interest rate risk, as shown in the Statements of Cash Flows. One Valley does
not have any securities classified as trading and it has no plans to establish
such classification at the present time. At year-end 1994, approximately 55%
of the total investment portfolio was classified as available-for-sale, while
45% was classified as held-to-maturity. Other information regarding investment
securities may be found in Table 8, Securities Maturity and Yield Analysis,
and in Note D to the consolidated financial statements.
Due to unfavorable laws relating to investments in tax-exempt assets and
corporate minimum tax regulations, levels of tax-exempt securities held by One
Valley, as well as their average maturity period, declined in the years from
1986 to 1993. However, due to the lower interest rate environment, overall
yields on tax-exempt securities have become attractive once again. During 1994,
One Valley increased its tax-exempt securities by $41.7 million, or 30.3%, over
the level of tax-exempt securities held at December 31, 1993. This increase
followed an increase in 1993 of $54.0 million, or 64.6%, over the level held at
December 31, 1992. Future investments in tax-exempt securities will generally
be made if the related yield is greater than that available with a similar
taxable investment.
As shown in Table 8, the average maturity period of securities available-
for-sale was 2 years while the average maturity period of securities held-to-
maturity was 10 years 9 months at the end of 1994. The average maturity of
mortgage-backed securities

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
included in the table was based on the contractual maturity. The average
maturity of the investment portfolio is managed at a level to maintain a proper
matching with liability maturity patterns.
One Valley's average investment in federal funds sold and other short-term
investments has declined over the past three years, averaging $27.4 million in
1994, a decrease from the $100.3 million averaged during 1993, and a further
decrease from the $119.7 million averaged during 1992. Fluctuations in federal
funds sold and other short-term investments reflect management's goal to
maximize asset yields while maintaining proper asset/ liability structure, as
discussed in greater detail above.
FUNDING SOURCES
Over the past three years, declines in market interest rates have forced
banks to reduce their rates paid on interest bearing deposits. In 1994, the
average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities was 3.41%, down from the
3.63% average rate paid in 1993, and down further still from 4.44% paid in
1992. Due to alternative sources of investment and an increasing
sophistication of customers in funds management techniques to maximize return
on their money, competition for funds has become more intense. One Valley has
offered new deposit products as well as periodic special rate products to
attract additional deposits. One Valley's deposits, on average, increased by
1.2% or $35.4 million in 1994. This increase follows a 2.3% increase in 1993.
During 1994, non-interest bearing deposits increased on average by 3.9% over
1993, while interest bearing deposits increased by only 0.8%. This trend is
reflective of an increased customer base in the use of checking and other non-
interest bearing deposit products, and the stiff competition for interest
bearing investments in a low interest rate environment.
Short-term borrowings increased, on average, by $27.8 million or 13.0% from
1993, following a 3.2% decrease in 1993 from 1992. Pass-through federal funds
purchased from correspondent banks increased, on average, by $5.8 million or
30.0% in 1994. This increase follows a 0.7% increase in 1993. Fluctuations in
federal funds purchased are considered normal and are generally influenced by
market interest rates and the availability of funds. Repurchase agreements and
other short-term borrowings increased, on average, by $22.1 million or 11.3%
in 1994, primarily to fund loan growth. This increase follows a 3.6% decrease
in 1993.
Long-term borrowings, on average, decreased by $13.2 million, or 36.5%, in
1994, following a $10.4 million increase in 1993. As a result, One Valley now
has $19.5 million of long-term debt, primarily Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB)
borrowings, with repayment schedules from one to nine years. Other information
regarding short- and long-term borrowings is contained in Notes H and I to the
consolidated financial statements.
INTEREST SENSITIVITY AND LIQUIDITY
Asset/liability management is a means of maximizing net interest income
while minimizing interest rate risk by planning and controlling the mix and
maturities of interest related assets and liabilities. One Valley has
established an Asset/Liability Management Committee for the purpose of
monitoring and managing interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is the earnings
variation that could occur due to changes in market interest rates.

One commonly used measure of interest rate risk is the gap report. A gap
report identifies the ratio of earning assets to interest bearing liabilities
that will mature or reprice within a given time period. A sensitivity ratio
greater than 1.00 (positive gap) indicates that more earning assets will be
subject to interest rate repricing during a given period than interest bearing
liabilities during the same period. Thus, an increase in interest rates would
tend to have a positive impact on net interest income, while a decline in rates
would tend to have the opposite effect.
Table 10, Comparative Rate Sensitivity Summary shows One Valley's gap
position as of December 31, 1994. The information presented includes various
assumptions and estimates by management regarding maturity and repayment
patterns. As shown in Table 10, One Valley's cumulative interest sensitivity
ratio in the first six-month time frame is 1.03, a positive gap. As such,
approximately $37.8 million more earning assets than interest bearing
liabilities will be subject to interest rate repricing in the next six months.
The information presented in the gap report (Table 10) represents a static
view of One Valley. One Valley uses computer generated scenarios to simulate
the future as a primary tool for analyzing interest rate risk and modeling
business strategies in a dynamic framework. The simulations begin with the gap
report information and use various assumptions, such as expected changes in the
interest rate environment; the shape of the yield curve; pricing strategies for
loans and deposits; the growth, volume and mix of interest sensitive assets and
liabilities; and potential hedging strategies. These simulations assist
management in minimizing risk and maintaining a conservative sensitivity
position.
One Valley's investments have been limited to traditional investment
securities and the company does not currently have any investments in derivative
instruments. However, One Valley continually evaluates all investment
alternatives in its management of interest rate risk and asset/liability
structure.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Liquidity is the ability to satisfy demands for deposit withdrawals, lending
commitments, and other corporate needs. One Valley's liquidity is based on the
stable nature of consumer core deposits held by the banking subsidiaries.
Likewise, additional liquidity is available from holdings of investment
securities and short-term investments which can be readily converted to cash.
Furthermore, One Valley continues to have the ability to attract short-term
sources of funds such as federal funds and repurchase agreements, and to arrange
credit lines to meet its cash needs.
One Valley generated $76.3 million of cash from operations in 1994, which
compares to $64.4 million in 1993 and $49.1 million in 1992. Additional cash of
$120.3 million was generated through net financing activities in 1994, which
compares to $48.5 million in 1993 and $67.6 million in 1992. These proceeds
along with proceeds from the sale and maturity of securities were used to fund
loans and purchase securities during the year. Net cash used in investing
activities totaled $168.9 million in 1994, which compares to $224.0 million in
1993 and $71.5 million in 1992. Details on the sources and uses of cash can be
found in the Statements of Cash Flows in the consolidated financial statements.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
One Valley's average equity-to-asset ratio increased to 8.92% during 1994,
up from 8.50% during 1993 and 7.97% in 1992. The increases primarily resulted
from the record earnings performances of One Valley. At year-end 1994, One
Valley's primary capital ratio was 9.68% compared to 9.62% at year-end 1993.
The Federal Reserve's risk-based capital guidelines and leverage ratio measure
the capital adequacy of banking institutions. The risk-based capital guidelines
weight balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet commitments by prescribed
factors relative to credit risk, thus eliminating disincentives for holding low
risk assets and requiring more capital for holding higher risk assets. At year-
end 1994, One Valley's risk adjusted capital-to-assets ratio was 15.5% compared
to 14.7% at December 31, 1993. The increase in the ratio is due to an increase
in earnings performance and a decrease in securities loaned, an off-balance
sheet factor, at the lead bank when compared to the prior year. Both of these
ratios are well above the minimum level of 8.0% prescribed for bank-holding
companies of One Valley's size. The leverage ratio is a measure of total
tangible equity to total tangible assets. One Valley's leverage ratio at
December 31, 1994 was 8.8% compared to 8.5% at December 31, 1993. Both of these
ratios are well above the minimum 3.0% and the recommended 4.0 to 5.0%
prescribed by the Federal Reserve. These healthy ratios are the direct result of
management's desire to maintain a strong capital position.
The primary source of funds for dividends paid by One Valley to its
shareholders is the dividends received from its subsidiary banks. Federal
regulatory agencies impose certain restrictions on the payment of dividends and
the transfer of assets from the banking subsidiaries to the holding company.
Historically, these restrictions have not had an impact on One Valley's dividend
policy, and it is not anticipated that they will in the future. Additional
information concerning dividend restrictions is discussed in Note M to the
consolidated financial statements.
In April 1994, the Board of Directors authorized management to repurchase up
to 400,000 shares of One Valley Bancorp common stock in the open market. During
1994, 263,500 shares were repurchased under this program. At December 31, 1994,
One Valley held 533,500 shares in its treasury. Any additional purchases will
depend upon future market conditions.

INCOME STATEMENT ANALYSIS
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income, the amount by which interest generated from earning
assets exceeds the expense associated with funding those assets, is One Valley's
most significant component of earnings. Net interest income on a fully tax-
equivalent basis was $163.2 million in 1994, up 7.0% over the 1993 level,
following a 3.4% increase in 1993 over 1992. When net interest income is
presented on a fully tax-equivalent basis, interest income from tax-exempt
earning assets is increased by the amount equivalent to the federal income taxes
which would have been paid if this income were taxable at the statutory federal
tax rate (35% for 1994 and 1993, 34% for 1992). The increase in net interest
income in 1994 is largely due to the increase in the volume of earning assets,
primarily loans. As shown in Table 11, Rate Volume Analysis, increases in the
volume of earning assets in both 1994 and 1993 have provided a significant
increase in net interest income. In 1994, the increase in the volume of earning
assets increased interest income by $13.7 million. This increase was partially
offset by declines in interest yields on earning assets due to declines in the
overall interest rate environment on average for the entire year. As a result,
total interest income increased by $5.7 million in 1994 over 1993. Similarly,
increased volume of interest bearing liabilities boosted interest expense by
$0.7 million, but the lower cost of interest bearing liabilities resulted in an
overall decline in total interest expense of $4.9 million. The increase in
total interest income coupled with the decline in overall interest expense
resulted in a $10.6 million increase in fully tax-equivalent net interest income
in 1994 over 1993. Similar trends were experienced in 1993 over 1992. The
decline in interest expense in 1993 was greater than the decline in total
interest income and, therefore, net interest income increased in 1993 over 1992.
During both years, the increase in loan volume has been the most significant
factor contributing to increased net interest income.
In 1994, as net interest income increased due to increased investment in
higher yielding loans, the net interest margin percentage on a fully tax-
equivalent basis also increased. The relatively low market interest rates in
the earlier months of 1994 kept the overall annual cost of funds down for the
year. The combination of these two factors resulted in a 4.98% net interest
margin in 1994, an increase over the 4.77% earned in 1993 and 1992. In 1993,
during the time of declining interest rates, the yield on the total loan
portfolio did not decline as rapidly as market rates paid for deposits and other
funding sources. Fixed rate loans helped maintain the relatively high yield in
the loan

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
portfolio. However, as shown in the Net Interest Margin graph, One Valley's
net interest margin has not fluctuated substantially, up or down, over the past
six years. Further discussion of net interest income is included in the section
of this report entitled "Balance Sheet Analysis."
NON-INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE
Non-interest income has been and will continue to be an important factor for
improving profitability. Recognizing this importance, management continues to
evaluate areas where non-interest income can be enhanced. However, as shown in
Table 12, non-interest income decreased by $2.4 million or 6.1% in 1994
compared to 1993. The decrease is primarily due to a decline in real estate
loan processing and servicing fees. As mortgage loan refinancings and sales in
the secondary market have significantly declined from the level experienced in
1993 and 1992, One Valley's processing and servicing fees have also declined.
The decrease in non-interest income in 1994 follows a 7.7% increase in 1993
over 1992.
In 1994, service charges on deposit accounts declined slightly while credit
card fees increased significantly due to an increase in the number of
customers. Trust income increased in 1994 to $7.9 million, a $0.6 million or
8.5% increase over 1993. This increase follows a 20.4% increase in 1993 over
1992. Trust revenues are increasing primarily due to new business over the
past several years. In 1994, One Valley realized $867,000 in losses on
securities sales. These securities were sold as part of a plan to reinvest the
proceeds in higher yielding investments.
Just as management continues to evaluate areas where non-interest income can
be enhanced, it strives to find ways to improve the efficiency of its operations
and thus reduce operating costs. In 1994, efficiencies were achieved in
combining the operations of One Valley and Mountaineer Bankshares. One Valley's
1994 net overhead ratio, or non-interest expense less non-interest income
excluding securities transactions to average earning assets, was 2.52%, a
decrease from the 2.68% realized in 1993, and down from the 2.54% ratio
realized in 1992. For the year 1994, net overhead was $82.7 million, a
decrease of 3.8% from the 1993 net overhead of $86.0 million. By comparison,
net overhead totaled $78.8 million in 1992. A lower net overhead ratio means
more of the net interest margin flows through as net income. Over the past five
years, net overhead has grown by a compound rate of 7.18% whereas average
earning assets have grown by 8.51%.
Total non-interest expense decreased by $4.7 million, or 3.7% from 1993.
This compares to an 8.6% increase in 1993 versus 1992. Total staff costs rose
by 2.5% in 1994, compared to a 10.9% increase in 1993. Higher expenses in 1993
due to severance packages for employees of One Valley's data processing
subsidiary resulted in a lower percentage increase in 1994. These severance
packages and additional expense associated with the adoption of FASB Statement
106 account for the growth in staff expenses in 1993. Additional information
concerning the adoption of FASB Statement 106 is discussed in Note K to the
consolidated financial statements.
In 1993, the FASB issued Statement No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for
Postemployment Benefits," which was adopted in 1994 by One Valley. This
Statement requires employers to recognize the obligation to provide
postemployment benefits to employees if the obligation is attributable to
services already rendered, the rights to those benefits accumulate or vest,
payment of the benefits is probable, and the amount of the benefits can be
reasonably estimated. The adoption of this Statement did not have a material
impact on One Valley's financial statements.
Advertising expense decreased by 15.0% in 1994 compared to 1993, primarily
due to operating efficiencies after the merger of Mountaineer Bankshares.
Advertising expense decreased by 6.5% in 1993, due to increased advertising in
1992 associated with the integration of a acquisition. FDIC insurance increased
by 1.9% in 1994 and 6.4% in 1993 due to deposit growth. Net occupancy expense
declined slightly in 1994, down 3.1% from 1993, which remained virtually
unchanged when compared to 1992. Equipment expenses declined by 20.1% or $2.1
million in 1994, primarily due to realized savings from ceasing internal data
processing operations. Equipment expenses increased by 1.0% in 1993 versus
1992. Outside data processing costs increased by 2.8% in 1994 which compares
to a 94.6%

increase in 1993 compared to 1992. The increase in 1993 is largely due to
costs related to the conversion of One Valley's in-house data processing system
to outside service bureaus. Taxes not on income increased by 8.0% in 1994, due
to increases in gross receipts and equity, which are taxed at the local level.
The 0.9% increase in 1993 was primarily due to increases in equity based state
and county taxes. Supplies and postage expense declined by 3.0% in 1994,
primarily due to operational synergies realized after the Mountaineer Bankshares
merger. This decrease follows a 5.2% increase in 1993 over 1992 due to the data
processing conversion. Other expenses decreased by 15.1% in 1994, partially due
to expenses in 1993 related to the merger of One Valley and Mountaineer and
operating synergies realized after the merger. Other expenses increased 4.3% in
1993, primarily due to expenses associated with the merger of One Valley and
Mountaineer.
An analysis of the allowance for loan losses and related provision for loan
losses is included in the Loan Portfolio section of the Balance Sheet Summary of
this report.
APPLICABLE INCOME TAXES
Income tax expense in 1994 was $21.9 million compared to $18.3 million in
1993 and $16.6 million in 1992. The increase in 1994 is primarily due to
increases in pretax earnings, which was partially offset by an increase in tax-
exempt income. With the purchase of additional tax-exempt investments in 1994
and 1993, discussed above, tax-exempt income increased in 1994. One Valley's
effective tax rate was 32.2% in 1994, down from 32.6% in 1993 and up from 31.2%
in 1992. Additional information regarding income taxes is contained in Note J
to the consolidated financial statements.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
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. Management's
efforts to meet these goals are described in other sections of this report.
SUMMARY RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FOURTH QUARTER 1994
Net income for the three months ended December 31, 1994 was $11.5 million,
an increase of 50.0% over the $7.7 million earned during the fourth quarter of
1993. The lower earnings in the fourth quarter of 1993 was the result of
increased expenses related to the pending merger with Mountaineer Bankshares and
expenses related to the conversion of the data processing system discussed
above. On a per share basis, 1994 fourth quarter earnings were $0.68 compared
to $0.45 in 1993, an increase of 51.1%.
Net interest income increased by 4.4% when compared to the same three months
of 1993. Non-interest income, excluding securities gains (losses), decreased by
5.2%, primarily due to declines in real estate loan processing and servicing
fees. The decline in non-interest income was more that offset by a 12.6%
decrease in non-interest expense. Fourth quarter 1993 non-interest expenses
include costs associated with the completed data processing conversion and the
Mountaineer merger. The provision for loan losses declined by 4.4% when
compared to the fourth quarter of 1993.
Additional quarterly financial data is provided in Note Q to the
consolidated financial statements.

REPORT OF ERNST AND YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
One Valley Bancorp of West Virginia, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of One Valley
Bancorp of West Virginia, Inc. and subsidiaries (One Valley) as of December 31,
1994 and 1993, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders'
equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 1994. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits. We did not audit the consolidated financial
statements of Mountaineer Bankshares of W.VA., Inc. and subsidiaries
(Mountaineer) which statements reflect total assets of $738,517 as of December
31, 1993 and total interest income of $52,645 and $55,403 for the years ended
December 31, 1993 and 1992. Those statements were audited by other auditors
whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to
data included for Mountaineer, is based solely on the report of the other
auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of One Valley
Bancorp of West Virginia, Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 1994 and 1993,
and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
One Valley adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115,
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," as of
January 1, 1994 (See Note D).

ONE VALLEY BANCORP OF WEST VIRGINIA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES DECEMBER 31, 1994
(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING POLICIES NOTE A
The accounting and reporting policies of One Valley Bancorp of West
Virginia, Inc. and its subsidiaries (One Valley) conform to generally accepted
accounting principles and to general practices within the banking industry. The
following is a summary of the more significant policies.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
One Valley Bancorp of West Virginia, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
One Valley considers cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in
other banks, and federal funds sold as cash and cash equivalents.
SECURITIES
Management determines the appropriate classification of securities at the
time of purchase and reevaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date.
Debt securities are classified as held-to-maturity when One Valley has the
positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Held-to-maturity
(held-for-investment in 1993) securities are stated at amortized cost.
Debt securities not classified as held-to-maturity are classified as
available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value with
the unrealized gains and losses, net of deferred income taxes, reported in a
separate component of shareholders' equity. Unrealized gains and losses
represent the difference between the estimated fair value and amortized cost of
available-for-sale securities.
The amortized cost of debt securities classified as held-to-maturity or
available-for-sale is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of
discounts, which are recognized as adjustments to interest income.
The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method.
LOANS HELD FOR SALE
Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are
carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value in the aggregate.
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
In determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, as well as the
appropriate provision for loan losses, management takes into consideration the
results of internal review procedures, historical loan loss experience, an
assessment of the effect of current and anticipated future economic conditions
on the loan portfolio, the financial condition of the borrower and such other
factors which, in management's judgment, deserve recognition. In management's
judgment, the allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level adequate to
provide for probable losses on existing loans and commitments.
PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT
Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is computed principally on the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets.
INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes (included in other assets) are provided for temporary
differences between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its reported
amount in the financial statements at the statutory tax rate.
One Valley and its subsidiaries file consolidated federal and state income
tax returns. Each subsidiary provides for income taxes on a separate return
basis, and remits amounts determined to be currently payable to the parent
company.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Interest income on loans, amortization of unearned income, and accretion of
discounts are computed by methods which generally result in level rates of
return on principal amounts outstanding.
The accrual of interest income generally is discontinued when a loan
becomes 90 days past due as to principal or interest. When interest accruals are
discontinued, unpaid interest recognized in income in the current year is
reversed, and interest accrued in prior years is charged to the allowance for
loan losses. Management may elect to continue the accrual of interest when the
estimated net realizable value of collateral exceeds the principal balance and
accrued interest, and the loan is in the process of collection.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING POLICIES-CONTINUED NOTE A
LOAN FEES AND COSTS
Loan origination and commitment fees and direct loan origination costs are
being recognized as collected and incurred. The use of this method of
recognition does not produce results that are materially different from results
which would have been produced if such costs and fees were deferred and
amortized as an adjustment of the loan yield over the life of the related loan.
NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
Net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the
average common shares outstanding during the year. Options under One Valley's
stock option plans are considered common stock equivalents for the purpose of
net income per common share data but are excluded from the computation because
they are immaterial.
RESTRICTIONS ON CASH AND DUE FROM BANK ACCOUNTS NOTE B
Bank subsidiaries are required to maintain average reserve balances with the
Federal Reserve Bank. The average amount of those reserve balances for the
year ended December 31, 1994, was approximately $26,900.
MERGER AND ACQUISITIONS NOTE C
In January 1994, One Valley acquired all of the outstanding common stock of
Mountaineer in exchange for 4,350,000 shares of One Valley common stock. This
combination has been accounted for as a pooling of interests. The pooling of
interests method requires the combining of the financial information of the
merging companies as though they had always been combined. Following is an
analysis presenting the results of operations for 1993 and 1992 of the separate
companies.

</TABLE>
One Valley has acquired several financial institutions in prior years in
acquisitions accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The
purchase prices of all these acquisitions were allocated to the identifiable
tangible and intangible assets acquired based upon their fair value at the
acquisition date. Intangible assets representing the present value of future
net income to be earned from deposits of acquired banks are being amortized on
an accelerated basis over a ten-year period. Deposit intangibles included in
other assets approximated $1,300 and $1,800 at December 31, 1994 and 1993.
Deposit intangible amortization approximated $500 in 1994, $800 in 1993, and
$900 in 1992.
The excess of purchase price over the fair market value of assets of
subsidiary banks acquired (goodwill) is being amortized on a straight-line basis
over periods ranging from 15 to 25 years. Goodwill, included in other assets,
approximated $4,000 and $4,300 at December 31, 1994 and 1993. Goodwill
amortization approximated $300 in 1994, 1993, and 1992.

SECURITIES-CONTINUED NOTE D
In May 1993 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments
in Debt and Equity Securities." One Valley adopted the provisions of the new
standard for investments held as of or acquired after January 1, 1994. In
accordance with the Statement, prior period financial statements have not been
restated to reflect the change in accounting principle. The cumulative effect
of adopting this Statement as of January 1, 1994, was to increase the opening
balance of shareholders' equity by $4,765 (net of $3,177 in deferred income
taxes) to reflect the net unrealized holding gains on securities classified as
available-for-sale previously carried at amortized cost. Securities designated
as available-for-sale at January 1, 1994, approximated $630,000.
The amortized cost and estimated fair value of debt securities at December
31, 1994, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities may
differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call
or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

party loans were made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates
and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with
unrelated persons and did not involve more than normal risk of collectibility.

In May 1993, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," which was amended by
FASB Statement No. 118 and is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1994. The Statement requires that impaired loans be measured at
the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's
original effective interest rate or, as a practical expedient, at the loan's
observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is
collateral dependent. One Valley will adopt this Statement on January 1, 1995,
and it will not have a material effect on One Valley's financial statements.
One Valley originates and sells fixed rate mortgage loans primarily to
governmental agencies on a servicing retained basis. Interest rates are
determined at the date of the commitment to sell the loans and the commitment
period generally ranges from 60 to 90 days. At December 31, 1994, One Valley
held loans for sale of approximately $3,500 and had commitments to originate and
sell loans of approximately $2,000.
The mortgage loan portfolio serviced by One Valley for the benefit of
others approximated $896,500, $842,000, and $1,007,000 at December 31, 1994,
1993, and 1992. Custodial escrow balances maintained in connection with the
foregoing loan servicing and One Valley's own mortgage loan portfolio were
approximately $10,800 and $11,000 at December 31, 1994 and 1993.
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES NOTE F

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS NOTE K
One Valley has a defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all of
its employees. The benefits are based on years of service and the employee's
compensation during the last five years of employment. The funding policy of
One Valley is to contribute annually the maximum amount that can be deducted for
income tax purposes. During 1994, the Mountaineer defined benefit pension plan
was merged into One Valley's defined benefit pension plan.
The following table presents the funded status of the combined plans and
amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets at December 31:

</TABLE>
The weighted-average discount rate used in determining the actuarial present
value of projected benefit obligations was 8.25% and 7% at December 31, 1994 and
1993. The rate of increase in future compensation levels used in determining
the actuarial present value of projected benefit obligations was 5.5% in 1994
and 1993. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets in 1994, 1993,
and 1992 was 8.5%. The unrecognized net loss decreased in 1994 due to the
change in the weighted-average discount rate. This decrease was partially
offset by actuarial experience losses relating to the return on plan assets.
One Valley has nonqualified and incentive stock option plans for certain
key employees. Pursuant to these plans, an aggregate maximum of 1,158,000
shares of common stock were reserved for issuance, although no more than 162,000
shares may be issued in any calendar year. At December 31, 1994, there were
outstanding and exercisable options for the purchase of 385,940 shares at prices
ranging from $10.28 to $28.38 per share. During 1994, 21,843 shares were
exercised at prices ranging from $11.67 to $21.74.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS-CONTINUED NOTE K
In 1993, One Valley adopted FASB No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions." One Valley has a defined benefit
postretirement plan covering all employees who qualify for and elect to retire
with a normal or early retirement benefit under the defined benefit pension
plan. The plan provides medical and dental benefits. This plan is
contributory and contains cost sharing features such as deductibles and
co-insurance. One Valley's policy is to fund the cost of the plan in amounts
determined at the discretion of management.
The following table presents the plan's funded status and amounts

of covered benefits (i.e. health care cost trend rate) is 11% for 1995 and is
assumed to decrease gradually to 6% in 2000 and remain at that level thereafter.
The health care cost trend rate assumption has a significant effect on the
amounts reported. For example, increasing the assumed health care cost trend
rates by one percentage point in each year would increase the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation for the plan as of December 31, 1994, by $280
and the aggregate of the service and interest cost components of net periodic
postretirement benefit cost for 1994 by $68.
The weighted-average discount rate used in determining the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation was 8.25% and 7% at December 31, 1994 and
1993.

RESTRICTIONS ON SUBSIDIARY DIVIDENDS NOTE M
The primary source of funds for the dividends paid by One Valley Bancorp is
dividends received from its subsidiary banks. Dividends paid by the subsidiary
banks are subject to restrictions by banking regulations. The most restrictive
provision requires regulatory approval if dividends declared in any year exceed
the year's retained net profits, as defined, plus the retained net profits of
the two preceding years. During 1995, the retained net profits available for
distribution to One Valley Bancorp as dividends without regulatory approval are
approximately $29,000, plus retained net profits for the interim periods through
the date of declaration.
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES NOTE N
In the normal course of business, One Valley offers certain financial
products to its customers to aid them in meeting their requirements for
liquidity and credit enhancement. Generally accepted accounting principles
require that these products be accounted for as contingent liabilities and,
accordingly, they are not reflected in the accompanying financial statements.
One Valley's exposure to loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparty
for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is the contract
or notional amounts of these instruments. Management does not anticipate any
material losses as a result of these commitments and contingent liabilities.
Following is a discussion of these commitments and contingent liabilities.
STANDBY LETTERS OF CREDIT
These agreements are used by One Valley's customers as a means of improving
their credit standing in their dealings with others. Under these agreements, One
Valley guarantees certain financial commitments in the event that its customers
are unable to satisfy their obligations. One Valley has issued standby letters
of credit of approximately $35,000 as of December 31, 1994.
Management conducts regular reviews of these commitments on an individual
customer basis, and the results are considered in assessing the adequacy of One
Valley's allowance for loan losses.
LOAN COMMITMENTS
As of December 31, 1994, the Bank had commitments outstanding to extend
credit at prevailing market rates approximating $381,000. These commitments
generally require the customers to maintain certain credit standards. The
amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by One Valley upon extension
of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the customer.
Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property,
plant and equipment, and income producing commercial properties.
LOANS SOLD WITH RECOURSE
One Valley is contingently liable on certain loans previously sold by an
acquired company. At December 31, 1994, there were approximately $44,000 in
outstanding loans sold with recourse. Pursuant to the terms of an Indemnity
Agreement with the Resolution Trust Corporation, the Resolution Trust
Corporation agreed to indemnify any and all costs, losses, liabilities and
expenses, including legal fees, resulting from certain third-party claims.
OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSES NOTE O
Included in other income are checkbook sales which approximated $2,798 in
1994, $2,957 in 1993, and $3,115 in 1992 and credit card fees which approximated
$3,254 in 1994, $2,749 in 1993, and $2,055 in 1992. Included in other expenses
is supplies expense which approximated $3,447 in 1994, $3,771 in 1993, and
$3,652 in 1992, postage expense which approximated $3,141 in 1994, $3,022 in
1993, and $2,804 in 1992, and professional fees which approximated $2,858 in
1994, $3,799 in 1993, and $3,703 in 1992.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS NOTE P
The following methods and assumptions were used by One Valley in estimating
its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair
values.
SECURITIES
Fair values for securities are based on quoted market prices, where
available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on
quoted market prices of comparable instruments.
LOANS
The fair values for fixed rate commercial, mortgage, and consumer loans are
estimated using discounted cash flow analyses at interest rates currently being
offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.
For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change
in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values.
ACCRUED INTEREST
The carrying value of accrued interest approximates its fair value.
DEPOSITS
The fair values of demand deposits (i.e. interest and noninterest bearing
checking, regular savings, and other types of money market demand accounts) are,
by definition, equal to their carrying values. Fair values for certificates of
deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies
interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of
aggregate expected monthly maturities of time deposits. FASB Statement No. 107
defines the fair value of demand deposits as the amount payable on demand, and
prohibits adjusting fair value for any value derived from retaining those
deposits for an unexpected future period of time (commonly referred to as a
deposit base intangible). Accordingly, the deposit base intangible is not
considered in the estimated fair value of total deposits at December 31, 1994
and 1993.
SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS
The carrying values of federal funds purchased and securities sold under
agreements to repurchase approximate their fair values.
LONG-TERM BORROWINGS
The fair values of the long-term borrowings are estimated using discounted
cash flow analyses based on One Valley's current incremental borrowing rates for
similar types of borrowing arrangements.
COMMITMENTS
The fair values of commitments (standby letters of credit and loan
commitments) are estimated based on fees currently charged to enter into similar
agreements, taking into consideration the remaining terms of the agreements and
the counterparties' credit standing. The estimated fair value of these
commitments at December 31, 1994 and 1993, approximate their carrying value.
The fair values of One Valley's financial instruments are summarized below:

PROXY STATEMENT
ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS -- APRIL 25, 1995
This statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation
of proxies for use at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of One Valley
Bancorp of West Virginia, Inc. ("One Valley"), to be held on Tuesday,
April 25, 1995, at the time and for the purposes set forth in the
accompanying Notice of Regular Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The
approximate date on which this Proxy Statement and the form of proxy are
to be first mailed to shareholders is March 20, 1995. The mailing
address of the principal executive offices of One Valley is P. O. Box
1793, Charleston, West Virginia, 25326.
Solicitation of Proxies
The solicitation of proxies is made by management at the
direction of the Board of Directors of One Valley. These proxies enable
shareholders to vote on all matters which are scheduled to come before
the meeting. If the enclosed proxy is signed and returned, it will be
voted as directed; or if not directed, the proxy will be voted "FOR" the
election of the eleven management nominees as directors for the terms
specified, and "FOR" the approval of the appointment of Ernst & Young as
independent Certified Public Accountants. A shareholder executing the
proxy may revoke it at any time before it is voted by notifying One
Valley in person, by giving written notice to One Valley of the
revocation of the proxy, by submitting to One Valley a subsequently
dated proxy, or by attending the meeting and withdrawing the proxy
before it is voted at the meeting.
The expense for the solicitation of proxies will be paid by One
Valley. In addition to this solicitation by mail, officers and regular
employees of One Valley and its subsidiaries may, to a limited extent,
solicit proxies personally or by telephone or telegraph.
Eligibility of Stock for Voting Purposes
Pursuant to the Bylaws of One Valley, the Board of Directors has
fixed March 7, 1995, as the record date for the purpose of determining
the shareholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the meeting or
any adjournment thereof, and only shareholders of record at the close of
business on that date are entitled to notice of and to vote at the
Annual Meeting of Shareholders or any adjournment thereof.
As of the record date for the Annual Meeting, 17,004,868 shares
of the common stock with a par value of Ten Dollars ($10.00) per share

The Bylaws of One Valley currently provide that the Board of
Directors shall consist of not fewer than six nor more than 33 members,
the exact number of directors within these minimum and maximum limits to
be fixed and determined by resolution of a majority of the Board of
Directors. There are presently 29 directors on the Board; and, at a
meeting held February 21, 1995, the Board's Executive Committee fixed at
29 the number of directors to constitute the full Board of Directors of
One Valley effective April 25, 1995.
One Valley's Articles of Incorporation authorize classification
of the Board of Directors into three classes, each of which serves for
three years, with one class being elected each year. Pursuant to this
arrangement, nine nominees have been nominated for three-year terms, one
nominee has been nominated for a two-year term, and one nominee has been
nominated for a one-year term, and until their successors are chosen and
qualify. This will result in a Board composed of three classes with
eleven directors in the class of 1996, nine directors in the class of
1997, and nine directors in the class of 1998.
Management Nominees to the Board of One Valley
Unless otherwise directed, the proxies will be voted "FOR" the
election of the following eleven directors to serve for terms expiring
at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders in the years indicated in the
table below, and until their successors are chosen and qualify.

General
The Bylaws of One Valley provide that in the election of directors of
One Valley each shareholder will have the right to vote the number of
shares owned by that shareholder for as many persons as there are
directors to be elected, or to cumulate such shares and give one
candidate as many votes as the number of such directors multiplied by
the number of shares owned will equal, or to distribute them on the same
principle among as many candidates as the shareholder sees fit. For all
other purposes, each share is entitled to one vote. If any shares are
voted cumulatively for the election of directors, the Proxies, unless
otherwise directed, will have full discretion and authority to cumulate
their votes and vote for less than all such nominees.
The Bylaws of One Valley provide that nominations for election to the
Board of Directors, other than those made by or on behalf of the
existing management of One Valley, must be made by a shareholder in
writing delivered or mailed to the President not less than 14 days nor
more than 50 days prior to the meeting called for the election of
directors; provided, however, that if less than 21 days' notice of the
meeting is given to shareholders, the nominations must be mailed or
delivered to the President not later than the close of business on the
7th day following the day on which the notice of meeting was mailed.
The notice of nomination must contain the following information, to the
extent known: (a) name and address of proposed nominee(s); (b) principal
occupation of proposed nominee(s); (c) total shares to be voted for each
proposed nominee; (d) name and address of notifying shareholder; and (e)
number of shares owned by notifying shareholder. Nominations not made
in accordance with these requirements may be disregarded by the Chairman
of the meeting, in which case the votes cast for the proposed nominee
will likewise be disregarded.
One Valley commenced business on September 4, 1981, as a bank holding
company. The financial operations of One Valley in 1994 primarily
related to the ownership and the establishment of policies for the
management and direction of One Valley Bank, National Association, One
Valley Bank of Huntington, Inc., One Valley Bank of Mercer County, Inc.,
One Valley Bank of Ronceverte, National Association, One Valley Bank of
Morgantown, Inc., One Valley Bank of Oak Hill, Inc., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of One Valley Bank of Summersville, Inc., One Valley Bank of
Marion County, National Association, One Valley Bank - East, National
Association, One Valley Bank - North, Inc., and One Valley Bank of
Clarksburg, National Association. On September 2, 1994, an Agreement
and Plan of Merger was executed pursuant to which Point Bancorp, Inc.,
agreed to merge with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of One Valley.
It is anticipated that this merger will be consummated in the first
quarter of 1995.
Committees of the Board
One Valley has a standing Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and
Nominating Committee.
The Audit Committee of One Valley consists of five members, Charles
M. Avampato, Nelle Ratrie Chilton, Edward H. Maier, John L. D. Payne and
Richard B. Walker and met four times in 1994. This Committee reviews
and evaluates significant matters relating to audit and internal
controls, reviews the scope and results of audits by independent
auditors, reviews the activities of the internal audit staff, meets with
the appropriate management personnel regarding internal and external
audit results and reports its findings to the Board of Directors.
The Compensation Committee of One Valley consists of six members,
Charles M. Avampato, Nelle Ratrie Chilton, Phillip H. Goodwin, David E.
Lowe, John L. D. Payne, and H. Bernard Wehrle, III, and met three times
in 1994. The Compensation Committee administers the One Valley Bancorp
of West Virginia, Inc., 1983 and 1993 Incentive Stock Option Plans. It
also approves compensation levels for the executive management group of
One Valley and its subsidiaries.
The Nominating Committee of One Valley consists of five members,
Robert F. Baronner, Nelle Ratrie Chilton, J. Holmes Morrison, John L. D.
Payne and Angus E. Peyton and met once in 1994. The Nominating
Committee recommends nominees to fill vacancies on the Board of
Directors, although the President of One Valley will also entertain
nominations made in accordance with the Bylaws of One Valley previously
described.

The Board of One Valley met 9 times in 1994, and there were numerous
meetings of the Committees of the Board. During 1994, Directors
Gabriel, Highland, Phillip Goodwin, and Wehrle attended fewer than 75%
of the aggregate of the total number of meetings of the Board of One
Valley and the total number of meetings held by all Committees on which
they served.

Compensation covered by the qualified pension plan is based on total
pay, including all Management Incentive Compensation Plan payments,
received during the sixty consecutive months of employment which results
in the highest total divided by five. Such compensation is directly
related to the total annual salary and bonus set forth in the Summary
Compensation Table and does not vary by more than ten percent from that
set forth therein, except that bonus payments listed in the table are
actually paid to the recipient (and consequently included in determining
plan benefits) in the year after that listed. As of November 1, 1994,
the credited years of service under the retirement plan for the
individuals named in the table shown under Executive Compensation were:
Phyllis H. Arnold, 18.667 years; J. Holmes Morrison, 27.17 years;
Frederick H. Belden, Jr., 27 years; Laurance G. Jones, 25.33 years; and
Brent D. Robinson, 6.833 years.
In 1990, a Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan (SERP) was
established for certain members of senior management, including the
individuals named in the Cash Compensation Table, which provides for a
benefit at normal retirement of 65 percent of final average
compensation, less (i) the retirement benefit under the Defined Benefit
Pension Plan, and (ii) any retirement benefits from a previous employer,
and (iii) the employee's Social Security benefit. The plan further
provides reduced early retirement benefit target objectives and a
disability retirement benefit target of 60 percent of final average
compensation at the time of disability, minus the benefits paid under
the Defined Benefit Pension Plan and the employee's Social Security
benefit. During 1994, $123,262 was paid into the SERP Trust for 1993,
and $232,415 was accrued for 1994.
Change of Control Arrangements
In January 1987, and in January 1994 in the case of Mr. Robinson, One
Valley entered into agreements with the officers listed in the Summary
Compensation Table and with certain other officers to encourage those
key officers not to seek other employment because of the possibility
that One Valley might be acquired by another entity. The Board of
Directors determined that such an arrangement was appropriate,
especially in view of the volatile banking market anticipated in West
Virginia with the advent of interstate banking. The agreements were not
undertaken in the belief that a change of control of One Valley was
imminent.
The agreements are for a term of three years and on each anniversary
date the term is automatically extended for an additional one-year
period unless a 60-day prior written notice is given by either party.
Generally, the agreements provide severance compensation to those
officers if their employment should end under certain specified
conditions after a change of control of One Valley. Compensation is
paid upon any involuntary termination following a change of control
unless the officer is terminated for cause. In addition, compensation
will be paid after a change of control if the officer voluntarily
terminates employment because of a salary reduction, reassignment
without consent to an office more than 50 miles from the officer's
location at the time of a change of control, failure by One Valley to
obtain assumption of the contract by its successor, or termination of
employment without a 30-day written notice.
Under the agreements, a change of control is deemed to occur in the
event of any business combination which would require a higher than
majority vote of the shareholders under One Valley's Articles of
Incorporation, or an occurrence of a nature that would be required to be
reported to the Securities and Exchange Commission as a change of
control. Severance benefits include: (a) a cash payment equal to the
officer's monthly base salary multiplied by the number of full months
between the date of termination and a date which is 30 months after the
date on which the change of control occurs; (b) payment of the award
due, if any, under One Valley's Management Incentive Compensation Plan
for the year in which termination occurs; and (c) continuing
participation in employee benefit plans and programs such as retirement,
disability and medical insurance for a period of 30 months after the
change in control.

Board Compensation Committee Report on Executive Compensation
The Compensation Committee ("Committee") of the Board of Directors
establishes compensation policies, plans and programs which are intended
to accomplish three objectives: to attract and retain highly capable and
well-qualified executives; to focus executives' efforts on increasing
long-term shareholder value; and to reward executives at levels which
are competitive with the marketplace for similar positions and
commensurate with performance of each executive and of One Valley. The
Committee has determined that to accomplish these objectives, total
compensation should be comprised of base salary, short-term incentive
compensation, and long-term incentive compensation.
The Committee meets several times annually with the Chief Executive
Officer and senior human resources executives to review, modify as
appropriate, and approve the compensation programs for executives,
utilizing the services of outside compensation consultants when
appropriate. In determining the salary budget for 1994 and in fixing
levels of executive compensation, the Committee considered internal
equity, external competitiveness of base compensation and total
compensation, the inflation rate, and One Valley's performance relative
to its long-range goals. In its evaluation of One Valley's corporate
performance for the purpose of fixing base salary levels, the Committee
does not attempt to assign specific weights to multiple factors which,
taken together, constitute "corporate performance." Consequently, its
evaluation of corporate performance is subjective to the extent that the
Committee considers all aspects of corporate performance, including but
not limited to long-range plan goals for earnings, asset quality,
capital, liquidity and resource utilization; however, significant
emphasis is given to the annual increase in One Valley's earnings per
share. Base salaries for executive officers are determined first by an
evaluation of the officer's success as measured against annually
established goals for individual performance and the performance of the
business unit(s) for which they have responsibility. Second, base
salaries are measured against market place salaries of equivalent
positions in financial institutions of comparable size. Marketplace
information is determined using data from several recognized
compensation survey services, specifically the Hay Compensation Report
of Banks and Associated Financials produced by Hay Management
Consultants, the SNL Executive Compensation Review, the Wyatt Data
Services Financial Institutions Compensation Survey, and the William M.
Mercer Finance, Accounting and Legal Compensation Survey. This
information was selected for comparison because of the formidable
position that these surveys hold in the industry and the availability of
representative peer group information.
Currently base compensation for executives of One Valley, while
competitive, continues to be below the average for similar positions
within comparable financial institutions. When One Valley executives,
including the CEO and the officers listed in the Summary Compensation
Table, were compared to the marketplace, their base salaries were, in
the aggregate, well below the median of the marketplace. The Committee
believes, philosophically, that compensation should, on the whole, be
incentive driven; however, base compensation should be reasonably
competitive in the marketplace. To this end, the Committee has set a
base salary range target for executives at the 37.5 percentile of the
marketplace average. The Committee believes that the appropriate level
of executive base compensation is primarily market-driven, although base
compensation is also dependent on corporate performance and on each
executive's progress toward individual goals.
The Committee believes that incentive compensation is an appropriate
adjunct to base compensation which, together with base compensation,
should approach the industry median for total compensation if
established goals are met. Short-term incentive compensation is
provided to key executives, as determined by the Compensation Committee
pursuant to One Valley's Management Incentive Compensation Plan
("MICP"). Awards under MICP are granted based upon One Valley's
earnings per share relative to a target level set by the Board of
Directors. If the target is met, awards are calculated for each
participant based upon the level of corporate performance relative to
the target, upon performance of the executive and the unit he or she
manages in meeting assigned objectives, and upon the executive's
relative position within One Valley. The determination of corporate
performance for this purpose is based solely upon earnings per share.
Thus the level of annual performance of One Valley, determined in a
manner which emphasizes factors which should have a positive impact upon
total return to shareholders, has a significant impact upon total
executive compensation.
17
<PAGE>
The Committee believes that shareholder value can be further enhanced
by closely aligning the financial interests of One Valley's key
executives with those of its shareholders. Awards of stock options
pursuant to One Valley's Incentive Stock Option Plan ("ISOP") are
intended to meet this objective and constitute the long-term incentive
portion of executive compensation. Participation in the ISOP is limited
to approximately thirty employees of the top management of One Valley
and its affiliate banks who are deemed to have the opportunity to most
significantly affect corporate results. Under the ISOP, the option
price paid by the executive to exercise the option is the fair market
value of the stock on the day the option is granted, and the option is
freely exercisable within a ten-year period. The options attain value
over that time only if the market price of the underlying stock
increases, and the increase in value of the option is directly tied to
the increase in the value of the stock. The Committee believes the ISOP
focuses the attention and efforts of executive management upon
increasing long-term shareholder value and the Committee periodically
awards options to key executives in amounts it believes are adequate to
achieve the desired objective. The total number of shares available for
award in each plan year is specified in the ISOP. These shares are
generally allocated based upon the Committee's subjective judgment,
taking into account the historical levels of awards and the relative
positions of the participants in the ISOP.
Total compensation for the CEO is determined in essentially the same
way as for other executives, recognizing that the CEO has overall
responsibility for the performance of One Valley. Therefore, One
Valley's performance has a direct impact upon the CEO's compensation in
that its earnings per share determine the amount of base compensation
increase and the MICP award; and, in addition, the market price of One
Valley's Common Stock determines the value of options awarded during
prior periods. The base compensation of the CEO in 1994 was based in
large measure on the corporate results in 1993 relative to long-range
plan goals for earnings, asset quality, capital, liquidity and resource
utilization. As discussed above, no attempt is made by the Committee to
assign relative weights to the various components of corporate
performance in fixing the CEO's base compensation. The targeted earnings
were $2.47 per share and actual earnings per share were $2.52, which was
10% higher than 1992 earnings of $2.29 per share. This relative success
of One Valley was a major consideration in establishing the base
compensation for the CEO. During 1994 One Valley consistently received
high rankings from multiple industry research companies. The MICP award
for 1994 was based on the earnings per share performance in 1994 which
was $2.70 The ISOP awards to the CEO for 1994 were based on the
historical level of awards and the Committee's determination of the
appropriate level of prospective ownership necessary to motivate long-
term performance.
Recent revisions to the Internal Revenue Code disallow deductions in
excess of $1,000,000 for certain executive compensation. The Committee
has not adopted a policy in this regard since none of One Valley's
executives receive compensation approaching the $1,000,000 level. The

filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act

Compensation of Directors
During 1994, each director who was not also an officer and full-time
employee of One Valley received $600 for each meeting of the Board of
Directors of One Valley attended, $350 to the respective directors who
attended the Board's Audit Committee, and, as members of certain other
committees of the Board of Directors, received $275 for each meeting of
a committee of the Board of Directors attended. In addition, Mr.
Baronner received compensation in the amount of $18,000 for serving as
Chairman of the Board of Directors. During 1994, there were no other
arrangements pursuant to which any director of One Valley was
compensated for services as a director.
Directors of One Valley are eligible to defer fees pursuant to the
One Valley Deferred Compensation Plan, which was adopted in 1984, with
respect to fees received in 1984 and thereafter for services rendered as
a director of One Valley.
Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the
Company's directors and executive officers, and persons who own more
than ten percent of a registered class of the Company's equity
securities, to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission initial
reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of Common Stock
and other equity securities of the Company. Officers, directors and
greater than ten percent shareholders are required by SEC regulation to
furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
To the Company's knowledge, based solely upon review of the copies of
such reports furnished to the Company and written representations that
no other reports were required, during the two fiscal years ended
December 31, 1993, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to
its officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners
were complied with, except that one report covering one transaction was
filed late by Mr. James Gabriel.
Certain Transactions with Directors and Officers and Their Associates
One Valley and its various banking subsidiaries have had and expect
to have in the future, transactions in the ordinary course of business
with directors, officers, principal shareholders and their associates.
During 1994, all of these transactions were made on substantially the
same terms, including interest rates, collateral and repayment terms on
extensions of credit, as those prevailing at the same time for
comparable transactions with other unaffiliated persons. Such
transactions, which at December 31, 1994, were, in the aggregate, 22.8%
of total shareholders' equity, in the opinion of the management of One
Valley, did not involve more than the normal risk of collectibility or
present other unfavorable features.
Jackson & Kelly, a law firm in which Director James K. Brown is a
partner, Steptoe & Johnson, a law firm in which Director J. Lee Van
Metre, Jr., is a partner, Bowles, Rice, McDavid, Graff & Love, a law
firm in which Director Lacy I. Rice, Jr., is a partner, and McNeer,
Highland & McMunn, a law firm in which Director Cecil B. Highland, Jr.,
is of counsel, performed legal services for One Valley and its
subsidiaries in 1994 and will perform similar services in 1995. On the
basis of information provided by Messrs. Brown, Van Metre, Rice and
Highland, it is believed that less than five percent of the gross
revenues of those law firms did in 1994, and will in 1995, result from
payment for legal services by One Valley and its subsidiaries. In the
opinion of One Valley, these transactions were on terms as favorable to
One Valley as they would have been with third parties not otherwise
affiliated with One Valley.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
During 1994, One Valley's affiliate banks, and One Valley Square,
Inc., paid $126,580 to TerraCare, Inc., for landscaping services.
TerraCare, Inc., is a wholly-owned subsidiary of TerraCo, Inc. Mary
Price Ratrie, a principal shareholder of One Valley, is the principal
shareholder and President of TerraCo, Inc., and Director Nelle Ratrie
Chilton is Vice President and director of TerraCo, Inc. During 1994,
The
20
<PAGE>
Neighborgall Construction Co. received payments of $196,345.26 from
One Valley's affiliate, One Valley Bank of Huntington, Inc., for
miscellaneous renovation and repair work to facilities owned by the bank
and for construction of a new branch in Ceredo. It is anticipated that
additional payments will be made in 1995 to TerraCare, Inc., and to The
Neighborgall Construction Co. In the opinion of One Valley, these
transactions were on terms as favorable to One Valley as they would have
been with third parties not otherwise affiliated with One Valley. The
members of One Valley's Compensation Committee are Phillip H. Goodwin,
Charles M. Avampato, Nelle Ratrie Chilton, David E. Lowe, John L. D.
Payne, and H. Bernard Wehrle, III.

Exhibit 99.2
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
Board of Directors and Shareholders
Mountaineer Bankshares of W. Va., Inc.
Martinsburg, West Virginia
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of
Mountaineer Bankshares of W. Va., Inc., as of December 31, 1993 and the
related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders'
equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended
December 31, 1993. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe
that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Mountaineer Bankshares of W. Va., Inc., as of December 31, 1993, and the
consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of
the two years in the period ended December 31, 1993, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Notes 1 and 11 to the consolidated financial statements,
the Company changed its method of accounting for income taxes and
postretirement benefits other than pensions.
