NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note A - Basis of Presentation

The accounting and reporting policies of One Valley conform to generally 
accepted accounting principles and practices in the banking industry.  All 
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in 
consolidation.  The interim financial information included in this report is 
unaudited.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair 
presentation of the results of the interim periods have been made.  These notes 
are presented in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial 
Statements included in the Annual Report of One Valley. 
 
Note B - Accounting Change 
 
In May 1995, the FASB issued Statement No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage 
Servicing Rights" which is applicable to One Valley in 1996.  FAS 122 
eliminates the accounting inconsistencies that existed between mortgage 
servicing rights that are acquired through loan origination acitivites and 
those acquired through purchase transactions.  As of January 1, 1996, One 
Valley adopted FAS 122, the results of which are included in the first three 
months of operating results presented for One Valley in this report. 
 
In October 1995, the FASB issued Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based 
Compensation" which is applicable to One Valley in 1996.  The Statement 
provides companies with the option of accounting for stock-based compensation 
under APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" or 
applying the provisions of Statement 123.  As a result, One Valley has decided 
to continue to apply the provisions of APB No. 25 to account for stock-based 
compensation.  Required disclosure will be made in the 1996 year-end financial 
statements for One Valley.    
 
Note C - Acquisitions and Name Change 
 
At the close of business on April 30, 1996, One Valley Bancorp acquired all of 
the outstanding stock of CSB Financial Corporation, headquartered in Lynchburg, 
Virginia. Pursuant to the merger agreement, One Valley exchanged 0.6774 shares 
of its common stock and for each share of CSB Financial's common stock.  The 
transaction was valued at approximately $55.7 million, or $21.08 per share of 
CSB Financial common stock.  The combination was accounted for under the 
purchase method of accounting.  Accordingly, consolidated results in future 
periods after April 30, 1996, will include the operations of CSB Financial only 
from the date of acquisition. Coinciding with that transaction, One Valley 
shareholders voted to change the company name from One Valley Bancorp of West 
Virginia, Inc. to One Valley Bancorp, Inc.  This report refers to the 
registrant as One Valley Bancorp, Inc.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of 
Operations 
 
March 31, 1996 
 
 
INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY 
 
     Net income for the first quarter of 1996 totaled $12.6 million, an 
increase of 12.1% over the $11.3 million earned in the same quarter of 1995.  
On a per share basis, net income of $0.75 for the first quarter of 1996 
increased 13.7% over the $0.66 earned during the same period in 1995.  The 
improvement in earnings during the quarter can be attributed, in large part, to 
higher net interest income and non-interest income. 
 
     Return on average assets (ROA) measures how effectively One Valley 
utilizes its assets to produce net income.  ROA was 1.32% in the first three 
months of 1996, an increase from the 1.25% earned during the first three months 
of 1995.  Return on average equity (ROE) also increased, from 13.75% for the 
first three months of 1995 to 13.93% earned over the first three months of 
1996. 
 
     The following discussion is an analysis of the financial condition and 
results of operations of One Valley for the first three months of 1996.  This 
discussion should be read in conjunction with the 1995 Annual Report to 
Shareholders and the other financial information included in this report. 
 
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 
 
Net Interest Income 
 
     Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 1996, was $42.7 
million on a fully tax-equivalent basis, a 4.1% increase over the $41.0 million 
earned during the same period in 1995.  This increase is largely due to a 
$141.0 million, or 5.9% increase in average total loans and a $107.6 million, 
or 11.0% increase in average securities during the first three months 
comparison.  Average earning assets increased by 7.3% in the first three months 
of 1996 over the same period in 1995, while average interest bearing 
liabilities increased by 7.0% in the same period.  Both total interest income 
and total interest expense increased from the prior year due to the increases 
in volume and a higher interest rate environment.  However, since the growth in 
loans, One Valley's highest yielding asset, outpaced the growth in average 
interest bearing liabilities,  net interest income also increased. 
  
     As shown in the consolidated average balance sheets (page 17), the yield 
on earning assets remained constant at 8.36% in the first quarter of 1995 
versus the first quarter of 1996.  During the same period, the cost of interest 
bearing liabilities increased 23 basis points to 4.19% from last year's 3.96% 
level.  This increased cost has resulted from a combination of changes in the 
mix of interest-bearing liabilities including a higher level of short-term 
borrowed funds, as well as a higher cost to attract deposit funds into 
certificates of deposit.  Additional discussion of the changes in balance sheet 
mix is included in a later section of this report.  Due to the increase in the 
cost of interest bearing liabilities, the net interest margin decreased to 
4.77% during the first three months of 1996, compared to 4.96% during the first 
three months of 1995.  At March 31, 1996, One Valley's asset/liability 
structure was slightly asset sensitive.  One Valley anticipates that over the 
next twelve months a rising rate scenario would have a slight positive 
influence on net interest income whereas, declining rates would have a slight 
negative influence on net interest income.  Normal fluctuations in market 
interest rates should not have a significant impact on One Valley's net 
interest margin. 
 
Credit Experience 
 
     The provision for loan losses was $1.1 million for the first quarter ended 
March 31, 1996, which equaled the provisions made in the same period of 1995.  
The provision for loan losses was based upon One Valley's continued evaluation 
process of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.  As a percentage of 
average total loans, the provision for loan losses through the first three 
months of 1996 was 0.18% annualized which was slightly below the 0.19% for the 
first quarter of 1995.  Net charge-offs as a percentage of average total loans 
in the first three months of 1996 increased to 0.13% on an annualized basis, up 
from an annualized 0.06% during the first three months of 1995. 
 
     Total non-performing assets at March 31, 1996, were 0.35% of period-end 
loans, unchanged from year-end 1995 but down from the 0.44% at March 31, 1995.  
At March 31, 1996, loans past due over 90 days were 0.18% of outstanding loans, 
a decrease from the 0.22% level at year-end 1995, but up from the 0.13% at 
March 31, 1995.  The dollar amounts of both non-performing assets and loans 
past due over 90 days are summarized on page 16.  
 
     With the continued good credit quality of the loan portfolio, the 
allowance for loan losses has remained relatively stable.  At March 31, 1996, 
the allowance was 1.56% of outstanding loans, as compared to the 1.57% at year-
end and the 1.59% one year ago.   
 
Non-Interest Income and Expense 
 
     Total non-interest income was $9.5 million through the first three months 
of 1996, up 7.7% from the $8.8 million non-interest income earned during the 
same period in 1995.  Trust income increased by 15.1% from the first three 
months of last year due to the increase in market value of trust assets managed 
during the first quarter of 1996 when compared to the same period of 1995.  
Service charges on deposit accounts increased by 7.8% in the first three month 
comparison due to changes in the service charge fee structure.  Real estate 
loan processing and service fees increased by 21.2% when compared to the first 
three months of 1995.  This increase is due to a higher level of fees from 
secondary mortgage loan activity combined with income recognized with the 
adoption of FAS 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights."  Other service 
charges and fees increased by 25.0% over the first three months of 1995, 
primarily due to increases in sales of mutual funds and other investment 
products and increased sales of credit life commissions.  Other operating 
income decreased by 4.0% due primarily to a lower level of income recognized on 
the disposition of other real estate owned and other loan payoffs.  Securities 
losses of $294,000 were taken in the first quarter of 1996 as part of a 
restructing of a portion of One Valley's investment portfolio. 
      
     In May 1995, the FASB issued Statement 122, Accounting for Mortgage 
Servicing Rights.  Statement 122 requires financial institutions to recognize 
rights to service mortgage loans for others as separate assets.  Mortgage 
Servicing Rights can be purchased from a third party or retained from loans 
originated internally and sold to third party investors.  This statement was 
adopted as of January 1, 1996.  The adoption of this Statement has had no 
material effect on One Valley's financial statements for the first three months 
and is expected to be immaterial in future periods. 
 
     Total non-interest expense was $30.2 million of operating costs during the 
three months ended March 31, 1996, relatively unchanged from the $30.4 million 
from the same period in 1995.  Staff costs remained consistent with the level 
one year ago.  Staffing levels have declined by 4.3% from March 31, 1995, as 
operations are continually being streamlined and staffing levels are reduced 
through normal attrition.  Savings were partially offset by normal salary and 
benefit increases.  Occupancy expense increased by 13.7% primarily due to an 
increase in depreciation resulting from facility renovations coupled with 
utility and maintenance costs associated with the unusual winter weather during 
the quarter.  Outside data processing expense increased by 14.4% above the same 
period in 1995 primarily due to the second and third quarter 1995 conversions 
of newly acquired affiliates to a common external data processing system.  
Other operating expenses increased 13.6% in the first three months of 1996 due 
to increased expenditures in a number of miscellaneous categories including 
employee education, advertising and promotions, maintenance and disposition of 
other real estate owned, consulting, and intangible amortization expense. 
 
     During the third quarter of 1995, the Federal Deposit Insurance 
Corporation (FDIC) lowered its insurance assessment rates as part of the 
nationwide funding of the Bank Insurance Fund (BIF).  This drop in rates 
explains the 85% decrease in Federal Deposit Insurance expense from the first 
quarter of 1995 to the first quarter of 1996. Congress continues to debate the 
legislation to boost the Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF) with a one 
time assessment on thrift deposits.  At March 31, 1996,  One Valley had over 
$400 million of SAIF assessable deposits resulting from prior acquisitions of 
savings and loan institutions.  Accordingly, One Valley will continue to pay 
premiums on these SAIF insured deposits at the level experienced in the first 
quarter of 1996.  If legislation currently being debated is enacted, One Valley 
would recognize a one time assessment of approximately $2.8 million in the 
period in which the law is enacted, excluding the effect of CSB Financial 
deposits. 
 
     The net overhead ratio (non-interest expense less non-interest income 
excluding security transactions divided by average earning assets) is a measure 
of the company's ability to control costs and equalizes the comparison of 
differently sized operations.  As this ratio decreases, more of the net 
interest margin earned flows to net income.  One Valley's net overhead ratio 
for the first three months of 1996 was 2.28%, down from 2.39% during all of 
1995 and down from the 2.59% during the first three months of 1995.  This 
improvement is a result of a growth in average earning assets and a decrease in 
net overhead costs.  Average earning assets increased 7.3% in the first three 
months of 1996 when compared with the same period in 1995.  Net overhead, 
however, has decreased by $1.1 million during the same period partially due to 
the increase in non-interest income and partially due to the decline in FDIC 
insurance expense. 
 
     Income tax expense increased by $964,000, or 18.0%, for the first three 
months of 1996 in comparison to 1995.  The increase in taxes is primarily a 
result of the 14.0% growth in pretax earnings.  One Valley's effective income 
tax rate for the first three months of 1996 was 33.3% compared to 32.1% during 
the first three months of 1995. 
 
FINANCIAL CONDITION 
 
Asset Structure 
 
     Total loans continued to grow when compared to the first three months of 
1995.  At March 31, 1996, total loans exceeded March 31, 1995, levels by 5.5% 
or $133.4 million.  The consolidated loan-to-deposit ratio has also increased 
to 80.4% at March 31, 1996, compared to 78.2% at March 31, 1995.  Since year-
end 1995, total loans have increased by 1.4% or $34.3 million.  This increase 
in total loans has resulted from growth in the three major loan categories; 
commercial, real estate, and consumer installment. 
 
     Investment portfolio assets increased $31.4 million or 2.9% from the level 
at year-end and increased by 11.7% or $115.9 million from the level one year 
ago.  The increase in the investment portfolio over the 1995 level is due to 
One Valley's asset/liability strategy which strives to minimize interest rate 
risk while enhancing the financial position of the company. 
 
     At the time of purchase, management determines the appropriate 
classification of securities.  If management has the positive intent and One 
Valley has the ability at the time of purchase to hold securities until 
maturity, they are classified as held-for-investment and carried at amortized 
historical cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of 
discounts, which are recognized as adjustments to interest income.  Securities 
to be held for indefinite periods of time and not intended to be held to 
maturity or on a long-term basis are classified as available-for-sale and 
carried at fair value.  The corresponding difference between the historical 
cost and the current fair value of these securities, the unrealized gain or 
loss, is an adjustment to shareholders' equity, net of deferred taxes.  
Securities available-for-sale include securities that management intends to use 
as part of its asset/liability management strategy and that may be sold in 
response to changes in interest rates, resultant prepayment risk, and other 
related risk factors. 
 
     One Valley adopted the provisions of FASB Statement No. 115, "Accounting 
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" for investments held as 
of or acquired after January 1, 1994.  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.  On November 15, 1995, the FASB staff 
issued a Special Report, "A Guide to Implementation of Statement 115 on 
Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities."  In 
accordance with provisions in that Sepcial Report, One Valley chose to 
reclassify certain securities from held-to-maturity to available-for-sale and 
thus increase the potential liquidity of the investment portfolio.  At the date 
of transfer, the amortized cost of those securities was $264.8 million and the 
net unrealized holding gain on those securities was approximately $3.3 million. 
As a result, at year-end 1995, approximately 81% of the total investment 
portfolio was classified as available-for-sale, while 19% was classified as 
held-to-maturity.  At the end of the first quarter of 1996, those ratios have 
changed only slightly from year-end but significantly from March one year ago.  
At March 31, 1996, approximately 82% of the total investment portfolio was 
classified as available-for-sale, while 18% was classified as held-to-maturity, 
compared to 56% and 44%, respectively, for March 31, 1995. 
 
     Securities designated as available-for-sale at March 31, 1996, had an 
historical cost of $902.3 million, with an unrealized gain of approximately 
$2.4 million, which increased shareholders' equity by $1.4 million, net of $1.0 
million in deferred income taxes.  At year-end December 31, 1995, and March 31, 
1995, securities available-for-sale had a historical cost of $861.3 million and 
$556.9 million, with an unrealized gain of approximately $10.4 million and an 
unrealized loss of approximately $3.9 million, respectively.  The unrealized 
gain increased shareholders' equity by $6.3 million, while the unrealized loss 
decreased shareholders' equity by $2.3 million, net of $4.2 and $1.6 million in 
deferred taxes, respectively. 
 
     In order to improve its fully tax equivalent net interest income and to 
hedge against higher income tax rates, One Valley increased its holdings of 
tax-exempt securities that were offering attractive yields in 1995.  As shown 
on the consolidated average balance sheets (page 17), average tax-exempt 
securities in the first three months of 1996 increased by 14.1% or $25.2 
million over the average during the first three months of 1995.  One Valley 
will continue to monitor its investment opportunties and may purchase 
additional tax-exempt securities of similar yield and quality. 
 
     One Valley had no federal funds sold at March 31, 1996, compared to $16.8 
million at year-end and $15.9 million one year ago.  However, One Valley 
averaged $12.7 million in federal funds sold during the first three months of 
1996, down 16.9% from the same period in 1995.  Fluctuations in federal funds 
sold are normal and largely due to planned changes in the company's 
asset/liability structure in order to maximize the return on investment in 
response to changes in the interest rate environment. 
 
Liability Structure 
 
     Total deposits at March 31, 1996, increased $68.2 million or 2.2% from the 
level at year-end and increased $79.6 million or 2.6% since March 31, 1995.  
Non-interest bearing deposits have increased by 1.0% from year-end, and have 
increased by 0.4% since March 31, 1995.  Interest bearing deposits at March 31, 
1996, increased $64.4 million or 2.4% from year-end and $78.1 million or 3.0% 
from one year ago.  Average interest bearing deposits for the first quarter of 
1996 increased 4.3% over the average for the same period of 1995.  Over the 
past few years growth in banking deposits has been modest.  Due to the low 
interest rate environment compared to the early 1990's, deposit customers are 
shortening the maturities of their deposit reinvestments and seeking higher 
yielding non-traditional investment alternatives. In 1995 through the first 
quarter of 1996, One Valley offered higher interest rates on deposit accounts 
to its customers.  The average rate paid on interest bearing deposits increased 
to 4.10% in the first three months of 1996, up from the 4.06% average rate paid 
for all of 1995, and the 3.86% average rate paid in the first three months of 
1995.  In an effort to meet customer expectations for an integrated financial 
services delivery system, One Valley operates a fully licensed NASD 
Broker/Dealer subsidiary and continues to expand other product lines.      
 
     Total short-term borrowings decreased slightly by $2.5 million or 0.6% 
from the year-end level, but increased $142.2 million or 58% from the level at 
March 31, 1995.  Short-term borrowings, which consist of Federal funds 
purchased from correspondent banks, repurchase agreements with large corporate 
and public entities, advances on credit lines available to the company, and 
commercial paper can fluctuate significantly depending upon loan demand and One 
Valley's asset/liablility strategy.  The increase from March one year ago 
includes a $34.9 million increase in federal funds purchased, a $37.8 million 
increase in customer overnight repurchase agreements, and a $60.2 million 
increase in short-term borrowings with the Federal Home Loan Bank and other 
correspondent banks.  This increased level of short-term borrowings has been 
used to fund loan growth as well as a higher level of investment portfolio 
assets as planned under One Valley's asset/liability management program. 
 
     Long-term borrowings declined $500,000 or 3.8% since year-end 1995 and 
$1.5 million or 10.7% since March 31, 1995.  The decline since year-end 1995 
was the result of $500,000 in payments on long-term advances from the FHLB.  
The $12.9 million of long-term borrowings at March 31, 1996, principally 
consists of FHLB advances incurred prior to 1994 to fund investments in 
mortgage backed securites.  Approximately $5.0 million of these advances mature 
in 1996. 
 
Acquisitions and Name Change 
 
     At the close of business on April 30, 1996, One Valley Bancorp acquired 
all of the outstanding stock of CSB Financial Corporation, headquartered in 
Lynchburg, Virginia. Pursuant to the merger agreement, One Valley exchanged 
0.6774 shares of its common stock for each share of CSB Financial's common 
stock.  The transaction was valued at approximately $55.7 million, or $21.08 
per share of CSB Financial common stock.  The combination was accounted for 
under the purchase method of accounting.  Accordingly, consolidated results in 
future periods after April 30, 1996, will include the operations of CSB 
Financial only from the date of acquisition. Coinciding with that transaction, 
One Valley shareholders voted to change the company name from One Valley 
Bancorp of West Virginia, Inc. to One Valley Bancorp, Inc. 
 
Capital Structure and Liquidity 
 
     One Valley's equity-to-asset ratio has decreased slightly since year-end 
but remains strong compared to industry standards.  At March 31, 1996, the 
ratio was 8.95% compared to 9.49% at December 31, 1995, and 9.37% one year ago. 
This decrease since year-end is primarily attributable to the repurchase of 
common shares of One Valley Bancorp stock in the open market which was 
initiated as part of the CSB Financial acquisition. 
 
     One Valley's cash dividends, totaling $0.27 per share through the first 
three months of 1996, were up 8% over the $0.25 per share dividend during the 
same period in 1995.  One Valley's dividend policy coupled with the continued 
growth in net income, demonstrates management's commitment to a strong equity-
to-asset ratio benefiting both the investor and the depositors of the local 
community.  One Valley's risk based capital ratio at March 31, 1996 was 15.28%, 
well above the 8.0% required, while its Tier I capital ratio was 14.03%.  One 
Valley's strong capital position is demonstrated further by its leverage ratio 
of 8.72% compared to regulatory guidance of 4.0% to 5.0%.  The capital ratios 
of the banking subsidiaries also remain strong and allow them to effectively 
serve the communities in which they are located. 
 
     The capital positions of the banks, coupled with proper asset/liability 
matching and the stable nature of the primarily consumer base of core deposits, 
results in the maintenance of a strong liquidity position.  The liquidity of 
the parent company is dependent upon dividends from its banking subsidiaries 
which, although restricted by banking regulations, are adequate to meet its 
cash needs.  
 
     The Board of Directors has authorized management to repurchase shares of 
One Valley Bancorp common stock in the open market.  In January 1996, 
simultaneous with the announced merger agreement between One Valley and CSB 
Financial, the Board of Directors authorized management to repurchase an 
additional 1.8 million shares of One Valley common stock.  As of March 31, 
1996, One Valley held 1.6 million shares of treasury stock and has remaining 
Board authorization for the repurchase of 1.4 million additional shares.  Any 
purchases under this or previous authorizations will depend upon future market 
conditions. 
 
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.
