                                    Part I

Item 1.  Business

The Company

      First National Corporation (the "Company") was organized on September 7,
1983 as a Virginia corporation for the purpose of acquiring all of the
outstanding common stock of the First National Bank of Strasburg (effective June
1, 1994, name changed to First Bank) (the "Bank") in connection with the
reorganization of the Bank into a one bank holding company structure. At the
effective date of the reorganization, the Bank merged into a newly-formed
national bank organized as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, with each
outstanding share of common stock of the Bank being converted into one share of
common stock of the Company. The primary activity of the Company is the
ownership and operation of the Bank.

The Bank

      The bank is currently organized as a state chartered bank under the laws
of the Commonwealth of Virginia. It commenced operations on July 1, 1907 as The
Peoples National Bank of Strasburg. On January 10, 1928 the Bank changed its
name to the First National Bank of Strasburg and moved into its current
headquarters location in Strasburg.

      On July 8, 1985, the Bank's first branch was opened in the town of Front
Royal, Virginia. The second branch was opened on July 26, 1985 in the City of
Winchester, Virginia. The Bank purchased a branch in Frederick County, Virginia
from First Union National Bank of Virginia on March 31, 1994. The Bank opened
this former First Union branch as a full service office on July 1, 1994. A
fourth branch was constructed in the town of Woodstock, Virginia and opened for
business on May 30, 1995. During 1998, two additional office locations were
opened. The Bank leased office space for a Loan Production Office in downtown
Winchester, Virginia, which opened on March 18, 1998. Additionally, a new
full-service branch facility was purchased on the north side of Winchester,
Virginia. This location was opened for business on December 19, 1998.

      On April 12, 1994, the Bank received approval from the Federal Reserve
Bank of Richmond (the "Federal Reserve") and the Virginia State Corporation
Commission's Bureau of Financial Institutions (the "SCC") to convert to a state
chartered bank with membership in the Federal Reserve System. The Bank was given
one year from approval to convert. On June 1, 1994, the Bank consummated such
conversion and changed its name to First Bank.

      In April 1994, the Bank formed a subsidiary, First Bank Financial
Services, Inc. ("Financial Services"), for the purpose of investing in Bankers
Title of Fredericksburg, LLC, a title insurance company formed by a group of
community banks in Virginia. This company underwrites title insurance which is
sold through the banks which own the company to their customers.

Banking Services

      As a full-service commercial bank, the Bank provides a wide range of
deposit, loan and other general banking services to individuals, businesses,
institutions and government entities. The Bank's deposit services for
individuals include checking, statement savings, NOW accounts, money market
accounts, IRA deposits, certificates of deposit, Christmas club accounts, direct
deposit programs, a club account, life-line checking accounts and investment
savings accounts. Loan services to individuals include personal and installment
loans (including automobile and property improvement loans), residential
mortgages, adjustable rate mortgages, bi-weekly mortgages, home equity loans,
and MasterCard and Visa credit cards. The Bank also offers consumers other
general banking services, such as safe deposit facilities, travelers checks and
collections, and acts as agent for the purchase and redemption of United States
Savings Bonds. In addition, the Bank offers corporate and business services,
including regular business checking, corporate savings, certificates of deposit,
commercial and small business loans, and on-line wire transfer services. The
Bank also offers Commercial mortgages.

<PAGE>

Location and Service

      The Bank serves the areas of Shenandoah, Frederick, Warren and Clarke
Counties and the City of Winchester in Virginia. The Bank solicits business from
individuals and small to medium-sized businesses, including retail shops and
professional service businesses, residing in this service area.

      The Bank has offices at the following locations:

      Main Office - 112 W. King St., Strasburg, VA 22657
      Front Royal Office - 508 N. Commerce Ave., Front Royal, VA 22630
      Winchester Office - 2210 Valley Ave., Winchester, VA 22601
      Kernstown Office - 3143 Valley Pike, Winchester, VA 22602
      Remote ATM site at Strasburg Square Shopping Center, Strasburg, Virginia
      Woodstock Office - 860 South Main Street, Woodstock, VA 22664
      Remote ATM site at Shenandoah Memorial Hospital, Woodstock, Virginia
      Remote ATM site at Judd's Inc., Strasburg, Virginia

      Winchester LPO - 9 W. Piccadilly Street, Winchester, Virginia 22601
      Remote ATM site at Apple Mountain Chevron, Linden, Virginia

Competition

      The Bank is subject to intense competition from various financial
institutions and other companies or firms that offer financial services. In its
market area, the Company is and will be competing with several state-wide and
regional banking institutions. The Bank competes for deposits with other
commercial banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions and with issuers
of commercial paper and securities, such as money market and mutual funds. In
making loans, the Bank competes with other commercial banks, savings and loan
associations, consumer finance companies, credit unions, leasing companies and
other lenders.

      Federal and state legislative changes since 1982 have significantly
increased competition among financial institutions, and current trends toward
further deregulation may be expected to increase such competition even further.
Many of the financial organizations in competition with the Company have greater
financial resources than the Company and are able to offer similar services at
varying costs with greater loan capacities. Of all the banks in our marketplace,
the Bank is one of a few that serves the area exclusively as an independent,
community bank. This enables it to identify and meet customer needs efficiently
and enhance its competitiveness in the marketplace. The Bank's history, dating
back to 1907, also allows it to compete from a position of strength and
stability.

Asset and Liability Management

      Assets of the Bank consist primarily of loans and its investment
portfolio. Deposit accounts, including checking accounts and interest-bearing
accounts, time deposits and certificates of deposit, represent the majority of
the liabilities of the Bank. In an effort to maintain adequate levels of
liquidity and minimize fluctuations in the net interest margin (the difference
between interest income and interest expense), the rate sensitivity of the loan
and investment portfolios are similar to the rate sensitivity of the Bank's
liabilities.

      The Bank invests the majority of its investment portfolio in highly
marketable short-term assets, such as federal funds and issues of the United
States government and its agencies. By pricing loans on a variable rate
structure, or by keeping the maturity of the investment and loan portfolios
relatively short- term, the Bank is able to maintain loan interest or to
reinvest securities proceeds at prevailing market rates, thereby helping to
maintain a generally consistent spread over the interest rates paid by the Bank
on the deposits which are used to fund the investment and loan portfolios.

<PAGE>

Lending Activities

      The Bank is an active lender with a loan portfolio that includes
commercial and residential mortgages, real estate construction loans, commercial
loans, and consumer loans. The Company's lending activity extends to individuals
and small and medium-sized businesses within its primary service area.
Consistent with its focus on providing community-based financial services, the
Bank does not attempt to diversify its loan portfolio geographically by making
significant amounts of loans to borrowers outside of its primary service area.

      The principal economic risk associated with each of the categories of
loans in the portfolio is the credit worthiness of its borrowers. Within each
category, such risk is increased or decreased depending on prevailing economic
conditions. In an effort to manage this risk, it is the Bank's policy to give
loan amount approval limits to individual loan officers based on their level of
experience. The risk associated with the real estate mortgage loans and
installment loans to individuals varies based upon employment levels, consumer
confidence, fluctuations in value of residential real estate and other
conditions that affect the ability of consumers to repay indebtedness. The risk
associated with commercial, financial and agricultural loans varies based upon
the strength and activity of the local economies of the Bank's market area. The
risk associated with real estate construction loans varies based upon the supply
and demand for the type of real estate under construction. Most of the Bank's
real estate construction loans are for pre-sold or contract homes.

      Residential Mortgage Lending. Residential mortgage loans are made in
amounts up to 80% (95% with Mortgage Guaranty Insurance) of the appraised value
of the security property. Residential mortgage loans are underwritten using
qualification guidelines. The Bank requires that the borrower obtain title, fire
and casualty coverage in an amount equal to the loan amount and in a form
acceptable to the Bank.

      The Bank's adjustable rate mortgages ("ARMs") generally are subject to
limitations of 2% per year on interest rate increases and decreases. In
addition, ARMs currently originated by the Bank provide for a lifetime cap of 6%
or less from the borrower's initial interest rate. All changes in the interest
rate must be based on the movement of an index agreed to by the Bank and the
borrower.

      There are risks resulting from increased costs to a borrower as a result
of the periodic repricing mechanisms of these loans. Despite the benefits of
ARMs to an institution's Asset Liability management, they pose additional risks,
primarily because as interest rates rise the underlying payments by the
borrowers rise, increasing the potential for default. At the same time, the
marketability of the underlying property may be affected adversely by higher
interest rates.

      The Bank charges origination fees on its residential mortgage loans. These
fees vary among loan products and with market conditions. Generally such fees
amount to 1.0% to 2.125% of the loan principal amount. In addition, the Bank
charges fees to its borrowers to cover the cost of appraisals, credit reports
and certain expenses related to the documentation and closing of loans.

      Real Estate Construction Loans. In general, the Bank does not originate
construction loans on income-producing properties such as apartments, shopping
centers, hotels and office buildings. However, the Bank does make construction
loans for residential purposes. These loans are primarily used for construction
of owner-occupied pre-sold residential homes and are considered an attractive
type of lending due to their short-term maturities and higher yields. The Bank
does not participate in any "speculative lending" which relies on market demand
after construction.

      Construction lending entails significant additional risk as compared with
commercial and residential mortgage lending. Construction loans typically
involve larger loan balances concentrated with single borrowers or groups of
related borrowers. Construction loans involve additional risks attributable to
the fact that loan funds are advanced upon the security of the home under
construction, which is of uncertain value prior to the completion of
construction. Thus, it is more difficult to evaluate accurately the total loan
funds required to complete a project and related loan-to-value ratios. To
minimize risks associated with construction lending, the Bank limits loan
amounts to 80% of appraised value on pre-sold homes in addition to its usual
credit analysis of its borrowers. The Bank also obtains a first lien on the
security property as security for its construction loans.

<PAGE>

      Commercial Real Estate Lending. The Bank provides permanent mortgage
financing for a variety of commercial projects. These loans are written with
maturities generally within one and five years and are made predominantly on an
adjustable rate basis. The Bank attempts to concentrate its commercial real
estate lending efforts into owner-occupied projects. However, from time to time,
in the normal course of business, the Bank will provide a limited amount of
financing for income producing, non-owner occupied projects which meet all of
the guidelines established by loan policy.

      Commercial Loans. As a full-service community bank, the Bank makes loans
to qualified small businesses in its service area. Commercial business loans
generally have a higher degree of risk than commercial and residential mortgage
but have commensurately higher yields. To manage these risks, the Bank secures
appropriate collateral and carefully monitors the financial condition of its
business borrowers. Commercial business loans typically are made on the basis of
the borrower's ability to make repayment from the cash flow of its business and
are either unsecured or secured by business assets, such as accounts receivable,
equipment and inventory. As a result, the availability of funds for the
repayment of commercial business loans may be substantially dependent on the
success of the business itself. Further, the collateral for secured commercial
business loans may depreciate over time and cannot be appraised with as much
precision as real estate.

      Consumer Loans. The Bank currently offers most types of consumer demand,
time and installment loans including automobile loans and home equity lines of
credit. The risk associated with installment loans to individuals varies based
upon employment levels, consumer confidence, and other conditions that affect
the ability of consumers to repay indebtedness.

Employees

      At December 31, 1998, a total of 87 persons were employed by the Company
and the Bank in both full and part time positions. None are represented by any
collective bargaining unit. The Company considers relations with its employees
to be good.

Supervision and Regulation

      General. As a bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding
Company Act of 1956 (the "BHCA"), the Company is subject to the supervision and
examination of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and is
required to file with the Federal Reserve such reports and other information as
the Federal Reserve may require. The Bank was supervised and regularly examined
by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, but upon its conversion to a
state chartered bank on June 1, 1994, became subject to the oversight of the
Federal Reserve and the Bureau of Financial Institutions of the SCC. The various
laws and regulations administered by the regulatory agencies affect corporate
practices, such as dividend payments, incurring debt, acquisition of financial
institutions and other companies, and types of business conducted.

      Bank Holding Company Regulation. Under Federal Reserve policy, a bank
holding company is expected to act as a source of financial strength to each of
its subsidiary banks and to commit resources to support such banks in
circumstances where it might not do so absent such policy. The BHCA requires a
bank holding company to obtain Federal Reserve approval before it acquires,
directly or indirectly, ownership or control of any voting shares of a bank or
bank holding company if, after such acquisition, it would own or control more
than 5% of such shares (unless it already owns or controls a majority of such
voting shares). Federal Reserve approval also must be obtained before a bank
holding company acquires all or substantially all of the assets of another bank
or bank holding company or merges or consolidates with another bank holding
company. In addition to the approval of the Federal Reserve, before any bank
acquisition can be completed, prior approval thereof must be obtained from each
other banking agency which has supervisory jurisdiction over the bank to be
acquired.

<PAGE>

      The BHCA also prohibits a bank holding company, with certain limited
exceptions, from acquiring or retaining direct or indirect ownership or control
of more than 5% of the voting shares of any company which is not a bank, or from
engaging in any activities other than those of banking or of managing or
controlling banks or furnishing services to or performing services for its
subsidiaries. The principal exceptions to these prohibitions permit a bank
holding company to engage in, or acquire an interest in a company that engages
in activities which, after due notice and opportunity for hearing, the Federal
Reserve by regulation or order has determined are so closely related to banking
or of managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto.

      The subsidiary banks of a bank holding company are subject to certain
restrictions imposed by the Federal Reserve Act on any extensions of credit to
the bank holding company or any of its subsidiaries, or investments in the stock
or other securities thereof, and on the taking of such stocks or securities as
collateral for loans. The Federal Reserve possesses cease and desist powers over
bank holding companies if their actions represent unsafe or unsound practices or
violations of law.

      A bank holding company may not, without providing prior notice to the
Federal Reserve, purchase or redeem its own stock if after the transaction the
company is no longer classified as "well-capitalized."

      The Company is also subject to certain provisions of Virginia law that
affect the ability of a bank holding company to acquire another financial
institution based in Virginia. Under certain amendments to the Virginia
Financial Institutions Holding Company Act that became effective July 1, 1983,
no corporation, partnership or other business entity may acquire, or make any
public offer to acquire, more than 5% of the stock of any Virginia financial
institution or any Virginia financial institution holding company, unless it
shall first file an application with the Virginia State Corporation Commission
(the "SCC"). The SCC is directed by the statute to solicit the views of the
affected financial institution, or financial institution holding company, with
respect to such stock acquisition, and is empowered to conduct an investigation
during the 60 days following receipt of such an application. If the SCC takes no
action within the prescribed period, or if during the prescribed period it
issues notice of its intent not to disapprove an application, the acquisition
may be completed. The SCC may disapprove an application subject to such
conditions as it may deem advisable.

      The Bank. As stated earlier in this item under "The Bank," the Bank
received approval from the Federal Reserve and the SCC and converted to a state
chartered bank, organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, with
membership in the Federal Reserve System. The Bank is now supervised and
regularly examined by the Federal Reserve and the SCC and is subject to the laws
and regulations administered by those regulatory authorities.

      Limits on Dividends and Other Payments. The Company is a legal entity
separate and distinct from the Bank. Most of the Company's revenues result from
dividends paid to the Company by the Bank. The right of the Company, and
consequently the right of creditors and shareholders of the Company, to
participate in any distribution of the assets or earnings of the Bank through
the payment of such dividends or otherwise is necessarily subject to the prior
claims of creditors of the Bank, except to the extent that claims of the Company
in its capacity as a creditor may be recognized.

      The amount of dividends payable by the Bank to the Company depends upon
the Bank's earnings and capital position, and is limited by federal and state
law, regulations and policies.

      As a state member bank subject to the regulations of the Federal Reserve
Board, the Bank has to obtain the approval of the Federal Reserve Board for any
dividend if the total of all dividends declared in any calendar year would
exceed the total of its net profits, as defined by the Federal Reserve Board,
for that year, combined with its retained net profits for the preceding two
years. In addition, the Bank may not pay a dividend in an amount greater than
its undivided profits then on hand after deducting its losses and bad debts. For
this purpose, bad debts are generally defined to include the principal amount of
loans which are in arrears with respect to interest by six months or more unless
such loans are fully secured and in the process of collection. Moreover, for
purposes of this limitation, the Bank is not permitted to add the balance in its
allowance for loan losses account to its undivided profits then on hand;
however, it may net the sum of its bad debts as so defined in excess of that
account. At December 31, 1998, the Bank had $3.5 million of retained earnings
legally available for the payment of dividends.

<PAGE>

      In addition, the Federal Reserve is authorized to determine under certain
circumstances relating to the financial condition of a national bank, a state
member bank or a bank holding company that the payment of dividends would be an
unsafe or unsound practice and to prohibit payment thereof. The payment of
dividends that deplete a bank's capital base could be deemed to constitute such
an unsafe or unsound practice. The Federal Reserve has indicated that banking
organizations should generally pay dividends only out of current operating
earnings.

      Borrowings by the Company. There are various legal restrictions on the
extent to which the Company can Borrow or otherwise obtain credit from the Bank.
In general, these restrictions require that any such extensions of credit must
be secured by designated amounts of specified collateral and are limited, as to
the Company, to 10 percent of the Bank's capital stock and surplus, and as to
the Company and any nonbanking subsidiaries in the aggregate, to 20 percent of
the Bank's capital stock and surplus. Federal law also requires that
transactions between the Bank and the Company or any nonbanking subsidiaries,
including extensions of credit, sales of securities or assets and the provision
of services, be conducted on terms at least as favorable to the bank as those
that apply or would apply to comparable transactions with unaffiliated parties.

                             Capital Requirements

                                                 Year Ended

         Required Capital Ratios:

               Leverage Ratio                        4.00%
               Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio       4.00
               Total risk-based capital ratio        8.00

         The Company Capital Ratios:

               Leverage Ratio                         9.0%
               Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio       13.8
               Total risk-based capital ratio        14.8


      In January 1989, the Federal Reserve Board published risk-based capital
guidelines in final form which are applicable to bank holding companies. The
Federal Reserve Board guidelines redefine the components of capital, categorize
assets into different risk classes and include certain off-balance sheet items
in the calculation of risk-weighted assets. These guidelines became effective on
March 15, 1989. The minimum ratio of qualified total capital to risk-weighted
assets (including certain off balance sheet items, such as standby letters of
credit) is 8.00%. At least half of the total capital must be comprised of common
equity, retained earnings and a limited amount of permanent preferred stock,
less goodwill ("Tier 1 capital"). The remainder ("Tier 2 capital") may consist
of a limited amount of subordinated debt, other preferred stock, certain other
instruments and a limited amount of loan and lease losses reserves. The
Company's Tier 1 and total Capital ratios as of December 31, 1998 were 13.8% and
14.8%, respectively.

      In addition, the Federal Reserve Board has established minimum Leverage
ratio (Tier 1 capital to quarterly average assets less goodwill) guidelines for
bank holding companies. These guidelines provide for a minimum ratio of 3.00%
for bank holding companies that meet certain specific criteria, including that
they have the highest regulatory rating. All other bank holding companies will
be required to maintain a Leverage ratio of 3.00% plus an additional cushion of
at least 100 to 200 basis points. The Company's Leverage ratio as of December
31, 1998 was 9.0%. The guidelines also provide that a banking organization
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.

<PAGE>

      Under Federal Reserve Board policy, a bank holding company is required to
serve as a source of financial and managerial strength to its subsidiary banks
and may not conduct its operations in an unsafe or unsound manner. In addition,
it is the Federal Reserve Board's policy that, in serving as a source of
strength to its subsidiary banks, a bank holding company should stand ready to
use available resources to provide adequate capital funds to its subsidiary
banks. This support may be required during periods of financial stress or
adversity or in circumstances where the financial flexibility and
capital-raising capacity of the bank holding company would be called upon to
obtain additional resources for assisting its subsidiary banks. The failure of a
bank holding company to serve as a source of strength to its subsidiary banks
would generally be considered by the Federal Reserve Board to be an unsafe and
unsound banking practice, a violation of Federal Reserve regulations, or both.

      FIRREA. In August 1989, Congress enacted the Financial Institutions
Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act ("FIRREA"). Among other things, FIRREA
abolished the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation and established two
new insurance funds under the jurisdiction of the FDIC -- the Savings
Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") and the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF"). The
FDIC will set assessments for deposit insurance annually. The act requires that
the FDIC reach an insurance fund reserve ratio for the BIF of $1.25 for every
$100 of insured deposits within fifteen years. Assessment for the BIF and SAIF
will be set independently.

      FIRREA also imposes, with certain exceptions, a "cross-guarantee" on the
part of commonly controlled depository institutions. Under this provision, if
one depository institution subsidiary of a multi- unit holding company fails or
requires FDIC assistance, the FDIC may assess a commonly controlled depository
institution for the estimated losses suffered by the FDIC. While the FDIC's
claim is junior to the claims of non-affiliated depositors, holders of secured
liabilities, general creditors, and subordinated creditors, it is superior to
the claims of shareholders.

      In addition, FIRREA grants numerous new or enhanced enforcement powers
over financial institutions and individuals associated with them. Its criminal
and civil liability provisions apply equally to banks and savings and loan
associations and provide for stiffer civil fines and criminal penalties for any
depository institution or any institution affiliated party who engages in or
tolerates bank fraud or other wrongdoing.

      FDICIA. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act
("FDICIA") was signed into law on December 19, 1991. Section 131 of FDICIA
requires the federal banking agencies to develop a mechanism to take prompt and
corrective action ("PCA") to resolve the problems of insured depository
institutions ("IDI's"). Capital levels and supervisory concern determine a
bank's PCA capital category.

      Section 302 requires the FDIC to establish a risk-based assessment system.
The system is designed as a matrix where each IDI will pay an assessment rate
based on the combination of its capital and supervisory condition.

      Section 305 of FDICIA requires incorporating interest rate risk ("IRR")
into the risk-based standard and a measurement system that would identify
institutions with high levels of IRR and ensure that they have sufficient
capital to cover their exposure. The measurement system will quantify IRR
exposure through weighting and risk factors.

      Depository institutions are required to establish non-capital standards
for bank safety and soundness. These standards fall into three broad categories:
operations and management standards for internal controls, loan documentation,
and credit underwriting; asset quality, earnings and stock valuation standards;
and executive compensation standards. The failure of a depository institution to
meet these standards will trigger regulatory actions. Section 112 establishes
guidelines for annual independent audit, annual report filings with regulatory
agencies, independent audit reports and procedures, and independent audit
committees.

      Section 301 addresses brokered deposits with no restrictions on "well
capitalized" institutions and restrictions based upon the capital threshold of
remaining institutions. Truth in Savings ("TISA") or Regulation DD is intended
to assist consumers in comparing deposit accounts principally through
disclosures of fees, annual percentage yields, interest rates and other terms
associated with interest-bearing deposit accounts. Compliance was mandatory on
June 21, 1993. Section 304 requires a uniform standard for real estate lending
establishing loan-to value ("LTV") ratio guidelines for real estate secured
loans.

      FDICIA contains a provision for IDI's to provide supplemental disclosure
of the estimated fair value of assets and liabilities in reports required to be
filed with federal banking agency.

      FDICIA establishes various limitations on loans to bank insiders and
prescribes standards that effectively limit the risks posed by an insured bank's
exposure to other insured depository institutions ("Interbank Liabilities").
FDICIA also requires advance notice of a branch closure, the establishment of
incentives to provide life-line accounts to low-income customers and addresses
the frequency and scope of supervisory examinations. Clearly, the ultimate
impact of FDICIA will be profound.

      Government Policies and Legislation. The policies of regulatory
authorities, including the Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC, have had a
significant effect on the operating results of commercial banks in the past and
are expected to do so in the future. An important function of the Federal
Reserve is to regulate aggregate bank credit and money through such means as
open market dealings in securities, establishment of the discount rate on member
banks, borrowings, and changes in reserve requirements against member deposits.
Policies at these agencies may be influenced by many factors, including
inflation, unemployment, short-term and long-term changes in the international
trade balance, and fiscal policies of the United States government.

      Congress has periodically considered and adopted legislation which has
resulted in, and could result in further, deregulation of both banks and
financial institutions. Such legislation could modify or eliminate geographic
restrictions on banks and bank holding companies and could modify or eliminate
current prohibitions against the Company engaging in one or more non-banking
activities. Such legislative changes also could place the Company in more direct
competition with other financial institutions. No assurance can be given as to
whether any additional legislation will be adopted and as to effect of such
legislation on the business of the Company.


Item 2.  Properties

      The principal executive offices of First National Corporation are located
at 112 West King Street, Strasburg, Virginia, which is owned free of
encumbrances. In addition to operating a full service banking facility at this
Strasburg location, the Company operates five additional branches and a loan
production office. The Company owns four of these facilities without
encumbrances and leases two of the facilities. The leases, which include renewal
options, expire in 2000 and 2001. See Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements of the Company's 1998 Annual Report to Shareholders for additional
information concerning this lease commitment.


Item 3.  Legal Proceedings

      In the ordinary course of its operations, the Company is party to various
legal proceedings. Based on information presently available, and after
consultation with legal counsel, management believes that the ultimate outcome
in such proceedings in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on
the business or the financial condition or results of operations of the Company.

Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

      No matters were submitted to security holders for a vote in the fourth
quarter of 1998.

                                   Part II

Item 5.  Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters

     Shares of the common stock of the Company are traded on the over-the-
counter (OTC) market and quoted in the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol
"FXNC." However, similar to the trading of the Bank's common stock prior to its
reorganization, trading of the Company's common stock is generally the result
of private negotiation. Increasingly, a broker or dealer may be involved.

     The Company has a limited record of trades involving its common stock in
the sense of "bid" and "asked" prices or in highs and lows. The effort to
accurately disclose trading prices is made more difficult due to the fact that
price per share information is not required to be disclosed to the Company when 
shares of its stock have been sold by holders and purchased by others. The 
following table summarizes the high and low sales prices of shares of the 
Company's common stock on the basis of trades known to the Company. The Company 
may not be aware of the per share price of all trades made.

Item 6.  Selected Financial Data

      The information required by this Item is incorporated by reference to
"Table 1 - Selected Consolidated Financial Data" in Item 7., "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,"
below.


Item 7.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

      First National Corporation (the "Company") is the holding company for
First Bank (the "Bank") and First Bank Financial Services Inc. ("Financial
Services"). The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and
results of operations of the Company for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997
and 1996 should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and related notes.

<PAGE>

Overview

      Earnings and assets grew in 1998. Net income for 1998 was $1,904,682
compared to $1,611,322 in 1997 and $1,454,266 in 1996. Net income per share
increased $0.35 in 1998 from 1997 ($2.43 per share basic and $2.42 per share
diluted in 1998 versus $2.08 per share basic and diluted in 1997). The increase
in earnings resulted primarily from a continuing increase in the Bank's interest
income which was greater than the increase in interest expense. Return on
average assets was 1.05% in 1998, 1.07% in 1997 and 1.06% in 1996. Return on
average equity was 11.31% in 1998, 10.41% in 1997 and 10.36% in 1996.

      Assets grew 16.13% in 1998, in line with the increase of 16.46% in 1997.
Growth occurred in both the loan portfolio where loans, net of unearned income
and allowance for loan losses, increased $15.9 million to $128.4 million and in
the securities portfolio which increased $6.6 million to $48.3 million. Funding
for this loan growth was provided by an increase in deposits of $15.2 million
and an increase in long term debt of $11.2 million.

Results of Operations

      Net interest income represents the primary source of earnings for the
Company. Net interest income equals the amount by which interest income on
earning assets, predominately loans and securities, exceeds interest expense on
interest bearing liabilities, predominately deposits, short-term and long term
borrowings. The provision for loan losses and the amount of noninterest income
and expense also have an effect on net income. Noninterest income and expense
consists of income from service charges on deposit accounts, fees charged for
various services, gains and losses from the sale of assets, both fixed assets
and securities, and various administrative, operating and income tax expenses.

      Changes in the volume and mix of interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities, as well as their respective yields and rates, have
a significant impact on the level of net interest income. Net interest margin is
calculated by dividing tax equivalent net interest income by average earning
assets and reflects the Company's net yield on its earning assets.

      General. Net income has increased in each of the last three years. The
increase in net interest income in 1996 was caused by growth in earning assets
and by the funding of higher yielding assets, in part, from lower yielding
assets. In 1997 and 1998 net interest income increased as the Bank continued to
experience favorable asset growth.

      Net Interest Income. Net interest income, after provision for loan losses,
was $6.64 million for the year ended December 31, 1998, up $0.62 million or
10.37% over the $6.02 million reported for the same period in 1997. This
increase in net interest income, after provision for loan losses, resulted from
an increase in interest-earning assets. In 1997 net interest income, after
provision for loan losses increased 7.11% or $0.40 million from $5.62 million in
1996.

      Interest income as a percent of average earning assets declined to 8.27%
in 1998 from 8.53% in 1997 following an increase in 1997 from 8.50% in 1996.

      Interest expense as a percent of average earning assets increased from
3.92% in 1996 to 4.02% in 1997 and 4.12% in 1998. Net interest margin and
interest rate spread decreased in 1998 when compared to 1997 and in 1997 when
compared to 1996. Net interest margin was 4.15% in 1998, 4.51% in 1997 and 4.58%
in 1996. Interest rate spread was 3.36% in 1998, 3.68% in 1997 and 3.78% in
1996. The decline in yields on earning assets reflect a lower interest rate
environment and management's attempt to grow the assets of the Bank while the
cost of funding the growth increased.

      Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for 1998 was increased to
$330,000 from $220,000 for 1997 and $120,000 for 1996. The increases were the
result of management's analysis of the loan portfolio and associated risks.

<PAGE>

      Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income increased $0.28 million or 32.42%
for 1998 over 1997 compared to and increase of $0.23 million or 35.59% for 1997
over 1996.

      Non-Interest Expense. In 1998, non-interest expenses increased $0.46
million or 9.89% over 1997. The percentage increase for 1998 was in line with
the 8.58% increase for 1997 or $0.37 million over 1996 considering the growth in
assets of the Bank of 16.13% in 1998.

      Income Taxes.  The company has adopted FASB Statement No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes."  A more detailed discussion of the Company's
tax calculation is contained in Note 9 to the consolidated financial
statements.

      Net interest income is affected by changes in both average interest rates
and average volumes of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities.
Table 3 sets forth the amounts of the total change in interest income that can
be attributed to changes in the volume of interest earning assets and interest
bearing liabilities and the amount of the change that can be attributed to
changes in interest rates. The amount of change not solely due to rate or volume
changes was allocated between the change due to rate and the change due to
volume based on the relative size of the rate and volume changes.

Year 2000 Issues

      In 1997, First Bank, a subsidiary of First National Corporation, initiated
a review and assessment of all hardware and software to confirm that it would
function properly in the Year 2000. A Year 2000 project team was formed
utilizing representatives from all areas of the Bank. Based on this assessment,
the Bank's mainframe hardware and banking software were upgraded and tested.
According to the test results, and accompanied by a letter of certification from
the Bank's software provider, our core processing system has been termed Year
2000 compliant. For certain other systems, the Bank has determined that it will
have to replace or modify certain pieces of hardware and/or software so that the
systems will properly function in the year 2000. Systems for which the Bank
relies on third party vendors, these vendors have been contacted and have
indicated that the hardware and/or software will be Year 2000 compliant.

      The Bank has also contacted all significant loan and deposit customers to
determine the extent to which the Bank is vulnerable to those third parties'
failure to remedy their own Year 2000 issue. The Bank believes that exposure
from customers who may not be Year 2000 compliant is minimal.

      The Bank plans to complete the majority of the Year 2000 project by June
30, 1999. To date, the Bank has expensed $82,280 related to the assessment and
replacement of issues related to the Year 2000. An additional $127,919 has been
contracted for projects to be completed by June 30, 1999. Remaining
expenditures, if any, are not expected to have a material effect on the Bank's
consolidated financial statements.

      The Bank continues to assess its risk from other environmental factors
over which it has little direct control, such as electrical power supply, and
voice and data transmission. Based on its current assessments and remediation
plans, which are based in part on certain representations of third-party
servicers, the Bank does not expect that it will experience a significant
disruption of its operations as a result of the change to the new millennium.
Although the Bank has no reason to conclude that a failure will occur, the most
reasonably likely worst case Year 2000 scenario would entail a disruption or
failure of the Bank's power suppliers' or voice and data transmission suppliers'
capability to provide data transmission services to the Main Office, where the
main computer and switchboard are located, or one of our Branch locations. If
such a failure were to occur, the Bank would implement a contingency plan. While
it is impossible to quantify the impact of such a scenario, the most reasonably
likely worst-case scenario would entail diminishment of service levels, some
customer inconvenience, and additional, as yet understood, cost associated with
the implementation of the contingency plan.

      For the systems and facilities that it has determined to be most critical,
the Bank expects to complete development of business contingency plans by March,
1999. These plans are then expected to be adopted by the Board of Directors of
First Bank and testing finalized by June 30, 1999. These plans will conform to
recently issued guidelines from the FFIEC on business contingency planning for
Year 2000 readiness. Contingency plans will include, among other actions, manual
workarounds and identification of resource requirements and alternative
solutions for resuming critical business processes in the event of a year 2000
related failure. While the Bank will have contingency plans in place to address
a temporary disruption in these services, there can be no assurance that any
disruption or failure will be only temporary, that the Bank's contingency plans
will function as anticipated, or that the results of operations, financial
condition, or liquidity of the Bank will not be adversely affected in the event
of a prolonged disruption or failure.

<PAGE>

      Additionally, there can be no assurance that the FFIEC or other federal
regulators will not issue new regulatory requirements that require additional
work by the Bank and, if issued, the new regulatory requirements will not
increase the cost or delay the completion of the Bank's Year 2000 project. The
costs of the project and the date on which the Bank's plans to complete the Year
2000 modifications are based on management's best estimates, which were derived
utilizing numerous assumptions of future events including the continued
availability of certain resources, third party modification plans and other
factors. However, there can be no guarantee that these estimates will be
achieved and actual results could differ materially from those plans. Specific
factors that might cause such material differences include, but are not limited
to, the availability of personnel trained in this area, the ability of third
party vendors to correct their software and hardware, the ability of significant
customers to remedy their Year 2000 issues, and similar uncertainties.

Financial Condition

      General. Management's plan to aggressively increase the size of the loan
portfolio continued in 1998. Loans, net of unearned discounts and allowance for
loan losses, increased $15.9 million or 14.11% from $112.5 million in 1997 to
$128.4 million in 1998. This growth in loans was reflected in a 16.13% increase
in assets during the year. Assets began the year at $164.6 million and grew
$26.5 million to $191.1 million by year end.

      Loans. The Bank is an active lender with a loan portfolio which includes
commercial and residential mortgages, commercial loans, consumer loans, both
installment and credit card, real estate construction loans and home equity
loans. The Bank's lending activity is concentrated on individuals and small to
medium sized businesses in its primary trade area of the Virginia counties of
Shenandoah, Warren, Frederick and the City of Winchester. As a provider of
community oriented financial services, the Bank does not attempt to
geographically diversify its loan portfolio by undertaking significant lending
activity outside its primary trade area.

      The Bank's loan portfolio is summarized in table 4 for the periods
indicated.

million and in 1997 by $0.2 million. The growth in the consumer loan area
continued in 1998 with an increase of $0.8 million which was less than the
increase of $5.2 million in 1997.

      There were no category of loans that exceeded 10% of outstanding loans at
December 31, 1998 which were not disclosed in Table 4.

      Asset Quality. The Allowance for Loan Losses ("ALL") balance at December
31, 1998 was $1,226,196, representing 0.95% of total loans and 223% of
non-performing assets. At December 31, 1997, these amounts were 0.98 and 114%.
These amounts were 0.98% and 115% at December 31, 1996.

      Total losses charged against the ALL in 1998 were $233,306 compared to
$97,008 in 1997, and $62,825 in 1996. Recoveries, consisting of the recovery of
principal on loans previously charged against the allowance, totaled $17,184 in
1998, $14,914 in 1997, and $ 16,425 in 1996.

      Management believes, based upon its review and analysis, that the Bank has
sufficient reserves to cover any projected losses within the total loan
portfolio.

      For each period presented, the provision for loan losses charged to
operating expense was based on management's judgement after taking into
consideration all factors connected with the collectability of the existing
portfolio. Management considers economic conditions, changes in the nature and
value of the portfolio, industry standards and other relevant factors when
evaluating the loan portfolio. Specific factors considered by management when
determining the amount to be provided included internally generated loan quality
reports which analyze each problem loan to estimate amounts of probable loss and
previous loss experience with various loan categories.

      Non-Performing Assets. Management classifies as non-performing both those
loans on which payment has been delinquent 90 days or more and for which there
is a risk of loss to either principal or interest, and Other Real Estate Owned.
Other Real Estate Owned represents real property taken by the Bank either
through foreclosure or through a deed in lieu thereof from the borrower. Other
Real Estate Owned is booked at the lower of cost or market less estimated
selling costs, and is actively marketed by the Bank through brokerage channels.

      Impairment of loans having recorded investments of $164,569 at December
31, 1998 has been recognized in conformity with FASB Statement No. 114. The
average recorded investment in impaired loans during 1998 was $195,574. The
total allowance for loan losses related to these loans was $78,228 on December
31, 1998. There was no interest income on impaired loans recognized for cash
payments received in 1998. There were no impaired loans in 1997.

      Non-accrual loans excluded from impaired loan disclosure under FASB 114
totaled $42,385 and $23,642 at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. If
interest on these loans had been accrued, such income would have approximated
$1,326 and $3,490 for 1998 and 1997. The Bank has allocated a portion of the
Allowance for Loan Losses to cover anticipated losses from these loans and is
included in Table 7 above.

      When a loan is placed on non-accrual status there are several negative
implications as a result. First, all interest accrued but unpaid at the time of
the classification is deducted from the interest income totals for the Bank.
Second, accruals of interest are discontinued until it becomes certain that both
principal and interest can be repaid. Third, there may be actual losses which
necessitate additional provisions for credit losses charged against earnings.

      Securities. The Company adopted FASB No. 115, "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" effective beginning January 1, 1994.
The Company reclassified its securities portfolio into those securities that
would be held to maturity and those that were available for sale. The securities
that were classified as available for sale were recorded at fair value in
accordance with FASB No. 115 and the Company recognized the effect of unrealized
gains/losses net of tax effects in stockholders' equity.

(1) Yields on tax exempt securities have been computed on a tax-equivalent
basis.


      This schedule has been prepared using the contractual maturities for all
securities with the exception of mortgaged-backed securities (MBS's) and
collateralized mortgage obligations (CMO's). Both MBS and CMO securities were
recorded using dealer median prepayment speed assumptions, which is an industry
standard.

      As of December 31, 1998, neither the Company nor the Bank held any
derivative financial instruments in their respective investment security
portfolios.

      Deposits. The Bank has made an effort in recent years to increase core
deposits and reduce costs of funds. Deposits provide funding for the Company's
investments in loans and securities, and the interest paid for deposits must be
managed carefully to control the level of interest expense.

      Deposits at December 31, 1998 were $155.0 million, an increase of $15.2
million or 10.91% from $139.8 million at December 31, 1997. All deposit types
increased in 1998. Noninterest bearing demand deposits grew $2.6 million or
15.24% while savings and interest bearing demand deposits grew $6.7 million or
9.81%. Time deposits grew $6.0 million or 10.93%.

      Liquidity. Liquidity represents an institutions ability to meet present
and future financial obligations through either the sale or maturity of existing
assets or the acquisition of additional funds through liability management.
Liquid assets include cash, interest-bearing deposits with banks, federal funds
sold, investments in Treasury securities, and loans maturing within one year. As
a result of the Bank's management of liquid assets and the ability to generate
liquidity through liability funding, management believes that the Bank maintains
overall liquidity sufficient to satisfy its depositors' requirements and to meet
its customers' credit needs.

      At December 31, 1998, cash, interest bearing and non-interest bearing
deposits with banks, federal funds sold, investments in Treasury securities, and
loans maturing within one year were $86.6 million. As of December 31, 1998,
approximately 32.46% or $42.1 million of the loan portfolio would mature or
reprice within a one year period.

      Non-deposit sources of funds in use at December 31, 1998 consisted of four
Federal Home Loan Bank advances. Two of the advances are fixed rate, amortizing
advances which were specifically used to fund loan growth. One of these advances
was in the amount of $1.5 million and maintains an interest rate of 6.25% and a
maturity date of December 12, 2005. The other advance was in the amount of $1.3
million and maintains an interest rate of 6.23% and a maturity date of April 1,
2013. The remaining two advances are convertible advances which maintain a fixed
rate for an agreed contract term. Thereafter, and until the maturity date, the
Federal Home Loan Bank may convert the advances to a floating rate advance. If
the Federal Home Loan Bank chooses to exercise its option to convert the rate,
the Bank may prepay the advances with no penalty. One of these advances was used
to fund a $10.0 million growth strategy in the investment portfolio. The other
convertible advance funded additional loan growth. The $10.0 million convertible
advance used for growth strategy maintains a current rate of 5.515% and a
maturity of March 17, 2008. The second convertible advance was in the amount of
$5.0 million and maintains a current rate of 5.58% and a maturity date of
December 16, 2002.

      Capital Resources. The adequacy of the Company's capital is reviewed by
management on an ongoing basis with reference to the size, composition, and
quality of the Company's asset and liability levels and consistent with
regulatory requirements and industry standards. Management seeks to maintain a
capital structure that will assure an adequate level of capital to support
anticipated asset growth and absorb potential losses.

      The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System has adopted capital
quidelines to supplement the existing definitions of capital for regulatory
purposes and to establish minimum capital standards. Specifically, the
guidelines categorize assets and off-balance sheet items into four risk weighted
categories. The minimum ratio of qualifying total capital to risk-weighted
assets is 8.0%, of which at least 4.0% must be tier 1 capital, composed of
common equity, retained earnings and a limited amount of perpetual preferred
stock, less certain goodwill items. The Company had a ratio of risk-weighted
assets to total capital of 14.76% at December 31, 1998 and a ratio of
risk-weighted assets to Tier 1 capital of 13.78%. Both of these exceed the
capital requirements adopted by the federal regulatory agencies.

      New Accounting Pronouncements. In June 1998, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board issued Statement 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities," which is required to be adopted in years beginning after
June 15, 1999. The Statement permits early adoption as of the beginning of any
fiscal quarter after its issuance. The Company has not determined whether to
adopt the new statement early. The Statement will require the Company to
recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that
are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income. If the derivative
is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of
derivatives will be either offset against the change in fair value of the hedged
assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings or recognized in other
comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The
ineffective portion of a derivative's change in fair value will be immediately
recognized in earnings.

      Because the Company does not use derivative's, management does not
anticipate that the adoption of the new Statement will have any effect on the
Company's earnings or financial position.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT


To the Stockholders and Directors
First National Corporation
Strasburg, Virginia


      We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of First
National Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the
related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity and
cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Corporation'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 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of First
National Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended December
31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

                           FIRST NATIONAL CORPORATION

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements




Note 1.   Nature of Banking Activities and Significant Accounting Policies

          First National Corporation and Subsidiaries (the Corporation) grant
          commercial, financial, agricultural, residential and consumer loans to
          customers in the Shenandoah Valley Region of Virginia. The loan
          portfolio is well diversified and generally is collateralized by
          assets of the customers. The loans are expected to be repaid from cash
          flow or proceeds from the sale of selected assets of the borrowers.

          The accounting and reporting policies of the Corporation conform to
          generally accepted accounting principles and to accepted practices
          within the banking industry.

          Principles of Consolidation

            The consolidated financial statements of First National Corporation
            and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, First Bank (the Bank) and First
            Bank Financial Corporation (the Financial Corporation), include the
            accounts of all three companies. All material intercompany balances
            and transactions have been
            eliminated in consolidation.

          Securities

            Investments are classified in three categories and are accounted for
            as follows:

            a.  Securities Held to Maturity

                Securities classified as held to maturity are those debt
                securities the Corporation has both the intent and ability to
                hold to maturity regardless of changes in market conditions,
                liquidity needs or changes in general economic conditions. These
                securities are carried at cost adjusted for amortization of
                premium and accretion of discount, computed by the interest
                method over their contractual lives.

            b.  Securities Available for Sale

                Securities classified as available for sale are those debt and
                equity securities that the Corporation intends to hold for an
                indefinite period of time, but not necessarily to maturity. Any
                decision to sell a security classified as available for sale
                would be based on various factors, including significant
                movements in interest rates, changes in the maturity mix of the
                Corporation's assets and liabilities, liquidity needs,
                regulatory capital considerations, and other similar factors.
                Securities available for sale are carried at fair value.
                Unrealized gains or losses are reported as increases or
                decreases in stockholders' equity, net of the related deferred
                tax effect. Realized gains or losses, determined on the basis of
                the cost of specific securities sold, are included in earnings.

                  Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements



            c.  Trading Securities

                Trading securities, which are generally held for the short term
                in anticipation of market gains, are carried at fair value.
                Realized and unrealized gains and losses on trading account
                assets are included in interest income on trading account
                securities. The Corporation held no assets classified as trading
                securities at December 31, 1998 and 1997.

          Derivatives

            The Corporation  has no securities  defined as derivatives by FASB
            No. 119, "Disclosures for Derivative Financial Instruments".

          Loans

            Loans are shown on the balance sheets net of unearned discounts and
            the allowance for loan losses. Interest is computed by methods which
            result in level rates of return on principal. Loans are charged off
            when in the opinion of management they are deemed to be
            uncollectible after taking into consideration such factors as the
            current financial condition of the customer and the underlying
            collateral and guarantees.

            The Corporation adopted FASB No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for
            Impairment of a Loan". This statement has been amended by FASB No.
            118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan Income
            Recognition and Disclosures". Statement 114, as amended, requires
            that the impairment of loans that have been separately identified
            for evaluation is to be measured based on the present value of
            expected future cash flows or, alternatively, the observable market
            price of the loans or the fair value of the collateral. However, for
            those loans that are collateral dependent (that is, if repayment of
            those loans is expected to be provided solely by the underlying
            collateral) and for which management has determined foreclosure is
            probable, the measure of impairment of those loans is to be based on
            the fair value of the collateral. Statement 114, as amended, also
            requires certain disclosures about investments in impaired loans and
            the allowance for credit losses and interest income recognized on
            loans.

            The Corporation considers all consumer installment loans and
            residential mortgage loans to be homogeneous loans. These loans are
            not subject to impairment under FASB 114. A loan is considered
            impaired when it is probable that the Corporation will be unable to
            collect all principal and interest amounts according to the
            contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors involved in
            determining impairment include, but are not limited to, expected
            future cash flows, financial condition of the borrower, and the
            current economic conditions. A performing loan may be considered
            impaired, if the factors above indicate a need for impairment. A
            loan on nonaccrual status may not be impaired if in the process of
            collection or there is an insignificant shortfall in payment. An
            insignificant delay of less than 30 days or a shortfall of less than
            5% of the required principal and interest payment generally does not
            indicate an impairment situation, if in management's judgment the
            loan will be paid in full. Loans that meet the regulatory
            definitions of doubtful or loss generally qualify as an impaired
            loan under FASB 114. Charge-offs for impaired loans occur when the
            loan, or a portion of the loan is determined to be uncollectible, as
            is the case for all loans.

<PAGE>

            Loans are placed on nonaccrual when a loan is specifically
            determined to be impaired or when principal or interest is
            delinquent for 90 days or more. Any unpaid interest previously
            accrued on those loans is reversed from income. Interest income
            generally is not recognized on specific impaired loans unless the
            likelihood of further loss is remote. Interest payments received on
            such loans are applied as a reduction of the loan principal balance.
            Interest income on other nonaccrual loans is recognized only to the
            extent of interest payments received.

          Allowance for Loan Losses

            The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level which, in
            management's judgment, is adequate to absorb credit losses inherent
            in the loan portfolio. The amount of the allowance is based on
            management's evaluation of the collectibility of the loan portfolio,
            including the nature of the portfolio, credit concentrations, trends
            in historical loss experience, specific impaired loans, and economic
            conditions. Allowances for impaired loans are generally determined
            based on the collateral values or the present value of estimated
            cash flows. The allowance is increased by a provision for loan
            losses, which is charged to expense and reduced by charge-offs, net
            of recoveries. Changes in the allowance relating to impaired loans
            are charged or credited to the provision for loan losses. Because of
            uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, management's
            estimate of credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio and the
            related allowance may change in the near term.

          Bank Premises and Equipment

            Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated
            depreciation. For financial reporting, depreciation is computed
            using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of
            the assets, which range from five to forty years. Gains and losses
            on routine dispositions are reflected in current operations.

          Other Real Estate

            Real estate acquired by foreclosure is carried at the lower of cost
            or fair market value less estimated costs of disposal.

          Income Taxes

            Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred
            tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences,
            operating loss carryforwards, and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred
            tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences.
            Temporary differences are differences between the reported amounts
            of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets
            are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of
            management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of
            the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets
            and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws
            and rates on the date of enactment.

          Pension Plan

            In 1998, the Corporation adopted FASB No 132, "Employers'
            Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits." This
            pronouncement does not change the measurement or recognition of
            amounts recognized in the Corporation's financial statements
            applicable to its defined benefit plan. Statement No. 132 revises
            the existing disclosure requirements by standardizing the disclosure
            requirements for pensions requiring certain additional information
            on changes in the benefit obligations and fair values of plan
            assets, and eliminating certain disclosures.

          Earnings Per Share

            In 1997, the Corporation adopted FASB No. 128, "Earnings Per Share."
            Statement 128 replaced the calculation of primary and fully diluted
            earnings per share with basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic
            earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects of options,
            warrants and convertible securities. Diluted earnings per share is
            very similar to the previously reported fully diluted earnings per
            share. All earnings per share amounts for all periods have been
            presented, and where appropriate, restated to conform to the
            Statement 128 requirements.

          Nonrefundable Loan Fees and Costs

            Loan origination and commitment fees and certain direct loan
            origination costs are being deferred and the net amount amortized as
            an adjustment of the related loan's yield.

          Cash and Cash Equivalents

            The Corporation has defined cash equivalents as those amounts
            included in the balance sheet caption "Cash and Due from Banks".

          Use of Estimates

            The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
            accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
            and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
            liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
            the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
            revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
            could differ from those estimates.

          Advertising Costs

            The Corporation follows the policy of charging the production costs
            of advertising to expense as incurred. Total advertising expense
            incurred for 1998, 1997 and 1996 was $218,121, $271,294 and
            $202,839, respectively.

          Comprehensive Income

            As of January 1, 1998, the Corporation adopted FASB No. 130,
            "Reporting Comprehensive Income". Statement 130 establishes new
            rules for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its
            components; however, the adoption of this statement had no impact on
            the Corporation's net income or stockholders' equity. The Statement
            requires other comprehensive income to include adjustments for
            unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities, which
            prior to adoption were reported separately in stockholders' equity.
            The financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the
            requirements of SFAS No. 130.

           Emerging Accounting Standards

            In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
            Statement 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
            Activities," which is required to be adopted in years beginning
            after June 15, 1999. The Statement permits early adoption as of the
            beginning of any fiscal quarter after its issuance. The Corporation
            has not determined whether to adopt the new statement early. The
            Statement will require the Corporation to recognize all derivatives
            on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges
            must be adjusted to fair value through income. If the derivative is
            a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair
            value of derivatives will either be offset against the change in
            fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments
            through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income until
            the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion
            of a derivative's change in fair value will be immediately
            recognized in earnings.

            Because the Corporation does not use derivatives, management does
            not anticipate that the adoption of the new Statement will have any
            effect on the Corporation's earnings or financial position.

          Maturities may differ from contractual maturities in mortgage-backed
          securities because the mortgages underlying the securities may be
          called or repaid without any penalties, therefore these securities are
          not included in a maturity analysis.

          The Corporation provides a profit sharing thrift plan for all eligible
          employees. Participating employees may elect to contribute up to 6% of
          their salaries. The Corporation contributes an amount equal to
          one-half of the employees' contributions. The Corporation's
          contributions in 1998, 1997 and 1996 were $50,187, $54,399 and
          $52,616, respectively.

          On January 6, 1999 the Bank adopted a Director Split Dollar Life
          Insurance Plan. This Plan provides life insurance coverage to
          insurable directors of the Bank. The Bank owns the policies and is
          entitled to all values and proceeds. The Plan provides retirement
          benefits and the payment of benefits at the death of the insured
          director. The amount of benefits will be determined by the performance
          of the policies over the director's life.


Note 12.  Commitments and Contingencies

          In the normal course of business, there are outstanding various
          commitments and contingent liabilities, such as guarantees,
          commitments to extend credit, etc., which are not reflected in the
          accompanying financial statements. The Corporation does not anticipate
          losses as a result of these transactions.

          The Corporation is conducting a comprehensive review of its computer
          systems to identify the systems that could be affected by the Year
          2000 Issue, and is developing a remediation plan to resolve the Issue.
          The Issue is whether computer systems will properly recognize
          date-sensitive information when the year changes to 2000. Systems that
          do not properly recognize such information could generate erroneous
          data or cause a system to fail. The Corporation is heavily dependent
          on computer processing in the conduct of its business activities.
          Failure of these systems could have a significant impact on the
          Corporation's operations.

          The Corporation has cash accounts in other commercial banks. The
          amount on deposit at these banks at December 31, 1998, exceeded the
          insurance limits of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation by
          approximately $152,000.

          See Note 16 with respect to financial instruments with
          off-balance-sheet risk.


Note 13.  Transactions With Related Parties

          During the year, employees, executive officers and directors (and
          companies controlled by them) were customers of and had transactions
          with the Corporation in the normal course of business. These
          transactions were made on substantially the same terms as those
          prevailing for other customers.

          An analysis of loans (exclusive of loans to any such person which in
          the aggregate did not exceed $60,000) made by the Corporation to
          directors, executive officers, or principal stockholders or to any
          associate of such persons is shown in the following table:

Note 14.  Winchester Branch Office

          The branch office in Winchester has been leased for a five-year period
          beginning June 1, 1986, with options to renew for three additional
          five-year periods. The current annual rent is $20,039, with an
          allowable increase based on the Consumer Price Index. The annual rent
          for the third five-year period cannot exceed $21,175.


Note 15.  Dividend Reinvestment Plan

          The Company has in effect a Dividend Reinvestment Plan which provides
          an automatic conversion of dividends into common stock for enrolled
          shareholders. Stock is issued at 100% of fair market value on each
          dividend record date.


Note 16.  Financial Instruments With Off-Balance-Sheet Risk

          The Corporation is party to financial instruments with
          off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the
          financing needs of its customers and to reduce its own exposure to
          fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include
          commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Those
          instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and
          interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance
          sheet. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect
          the extent of involvement the Corporation has in particular classes of
          financial instruments.

          The Corporation's exposure to credit loss in the event of
          nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for
          commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is
          represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments.
          The Corporation uses the same credit policies in making commitments
          and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet
          instruments.

          A summary of the contract or notional amount of the Corporation's
          exposure to off-balance-sheet risk as of December 31, 1998 and 1997,
          is as follows:

                                                      1998            1997
          Financial instruments whose contract 
            amounts represent credit risk:
            Commitments to extend credit         $ 19 734 000      $  9 442 000
            Standby letters of credit            $    729 665      $    348 700

<PAGE>

                     Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

          Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as
          long as there is no violation of any condition established in the
          contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other
          termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of
          the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the
          total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash
          requirements. The Corporation evaluates each customer's credit
          worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained,
          if deemed necessary by the Corporation upon extension of credit, is
          based on management's credit evaluation of the counterparty.
          Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory,
          property and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties.

          Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the
          Corporation to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third
          party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and
          private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond
          financing, and similar transactions. The credit risk involved in
          issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in
          extending loan facilities to customers. The Corporation holds security
          agreements on accounts receivable, inventory and equipment as
          collateral supporting those commitments for which collateral is deemed
          necessary. The extent of collateral held for those commitments at
          December 31, 1998, varies from 0 percent to 100 percent; the average
          amount collateralized is 55.4 percent.


Note 17.  Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments

          The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair
          value of each class of financial instruments for which it is
          practicable to estimate that value:

            Cash and Short-Term Investments

            For those short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a
            reasonable estimate of fair value.

            Securities

            For securities held for investment purposes, fair values are based
            on quoted market prices or dealer quotes.

            Loan Receivables

            For certain homogeneous categories of loans, such as some
            residential mortgages, and other consumer loans, fair value is
            estimated using the quoted market prices for securities backed by
            similar loans, adjusted for differences in loan characteristics. The
            fair value of other types of loans is estimated by discounting the
            future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans
            would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the
            same remaining maturities.

<PAGE>

            Deposit Liabilities

            The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and certain
            money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the
            reporting date. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of
            deposit is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits
            of similar remaining maturities.

            Borrowings

            The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased, borrowings under
            repurchase agreements, and other short-term borrowings under
            repurchase agreements, and other short-term borrowings maturing
            within 90 days approximate their fair values. Fair values of other
            borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based
            on the Corporation's current incremental borrowing rates for similar
            types of borrowing arrangements.

            Off-Balance-Sheet Financial Instruments

            The fair value of commitments to extend credit is estimated using
            the fees currently charged to enter similar agreements, taking into
            account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present credit
            worthiness of the counterparties. For fixed-rate loan commitments,
            fair value also considers the difference between current levels of
            interest rates and the committed rates.

            The fair value of stand-by letters of credit is based on fees
            currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to
            terminate them or otherwise settle the obligations with the
            counterparties at the reporting date.

            At December 31, 1998 and 1997, the carrying amounts and fair values
            of loan commitments and stand-by letters of credit were deemed
            immaterial.

            The estimated fair values of the Corporation's financial instruments
            are as follows:

Note 18.  Regulatory Matters

          The Corporation is subject to various regulatory capital requirements
          administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum
          capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory - possibly
          additional discretionary - actions by regulators that, if undertaken,
          could have a direct material effect on the Corporation's financial
          statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory
          framework for prompt corrective action, the Corporation must meet
          specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the
          Corporation's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items
          as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Corporation's
          capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative
          judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and
          other factors.

          Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital
          adequacy require the Corporation to maintain minimum amounts and
          ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier 1 capital (as
          defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier 1
          capital to average assets. Management believes, as of December 31,
          1998, that the Corporation meets all capital adequacy requirements to
          which it is subject.

          As of December 31, 1998, the most recent notification from the Federal
          Reserve Bank categorized the Corporation as well capitalized under the
          regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized
          as well capitalized, the Corporation must maintain minimum total
          risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth
          in the table. There are no conditions or events since that
          notification that management believes have changed the institution's
          category.

Note 19.  Incentive Stock Option Plan

          The Corporation has an incentive stock option plan for all full-time
          employees. Under the plan, the Corporation may grant options for up to
          21,000 shares of the common stock. The exercise price of each option
          is equal to the market price of the Corporation's stock on the date of
          grant. The maximum term of the option is five years, and they vest
          immediately upon grant.

          The Corporation applies APB Opinion 25 in accounting for its incentive
          stock option plan. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been
          recognized for the plan in 1998, 1997 and 1996. Had compensation cost
          been determined on the basis of fair value pursuant to FASB Statement
          No. 123, net income and earnings per share would not have been
          materially different from the amounts presented.

          The status of the stock option plan during 1998,  1997 and 1996 is as
