                AMERICAN NATIONAL BANKSHARES INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
         NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.  Basis of Presentation

         In the opinion of management,  the accompanying  unaudited consolidated
condensed  financial  statements  contain all adjustments  (consisting of normal
recurring  accruals)  necessary to present fairly American National  Bankshares'
financial  position as of September 30, 1997,  the results of its operations for
the three and nine months ended  September  30, 1997 and  September 30, 1996 and
its cash flows for the nine months ended  September  30, 1997 and  September 30,
1996. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
1997 are not necessarily  indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year  ended  December  31,  1997.  A summary  of the  Corporation's  significant
accounting  policies  is set  forth  in  Note 1 to  the  Consolidated  Financial
Statements in the Corporation's Annual Report to Shareholders for 1996.


2.  Investment Securities

     The Bank classifies investment securities in one of three categories:  held
to maturity, available for sale and trading.
         Debt securities acquired with both the intent and ability to be held to
maturity are  classified  as held to maturity  and  reported at amortized  cost.
Gains or losses  realized from the sale of any  securities  held to maturity are
determined by specific identification and are included in non-interest income.
         Securities  which  may be used to meet  liquidity  needs  arising  from
unanticipated  deposit and loan fluctuations,  changes in regulatory capital and
investment requirements,  or unforeseen changes in market conditions,  including
interest rates,  market values or inflation  rates,  are classified as available
for sale.  Securities  available for sale are reported at estimated  fair value,
with  unrealized   gains  and  losses  reported  as  a  separate   component  of
stockholders'  equity,  net of tax.  Gains or losses  realized  from the sale of
securities available for sale are determined by specific  identification and are
included in non-interest income.
         Trading  account  securities,  of which none were held on September 30,
1997 and  December 31, 1996,  are  reported at fair value.  Market  adjustments,
fees,  gains or losses  and  income  earned on trading  account  securities  are
included  in  non-interest  income.  Gains or losses  realized  from the sale of
trading securities are determined by specific identification and are included in
non-interest income.
         Management  determines the appropriate  classification of securities at
the time of  purchase.  Securities  classified  as held to  maturity  are  those
securities  that  management  intends to hold to maturity,  subject to continued
credit-worthiness  of the issuer, and that the Bank has the ability to hold on a
long-term basis. Accordingly,  these securities are stated at cost, adjusted for
amortization  of premium and  accretion  of discount on the level yield  method.
Securities  designated  as  available  for  sale  have  been  adjusted  to their
respective  market values and a corresponding  adjustment made to  shareholders'
investment at September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996.


3.  Commitments and Contingencies

         The  Bank has an  established  credit  availability  in the  amount  of
$29,000,000 with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta. As of September 30, 1997
and  December  31,  1996,  there  were  no  borrowings  outstanding  under  this
availability.
         Commitments to extend credit,  which amount to $64,199,000 at September
30, 1997 and  $65,030,000  at  December  31,  1996,  represent  legally  binding
agreements  to  lend  to  a  customer  with  fixed  expiration  dates  or  other
termination  clauses.  Since  many of the  commitments  are  expected  to expire
without being funded, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily  represent
future liquidity requirements.
         Standby  letters of credit are  conditional  commitments  issued by the
Bank  guaranteeing  the  performance  of a  customer  to a  third  party.  Those
guarantees  are  primarily  issued  to  support  public  and  private  borrowing
arrangements.  At  September  30,  1997  and  December  31,  1996  the  Bank had
$1,199,000 and $705,000, respectively, in outstanding standby letters of credit.

4.  Merger and Acquisitions

         On March 14, 1996, the Corporation  completed the acquisition of Mutual
Savings  Bank,  F.S.B.  (Mutual) upon the approval of the  shareholders  of each
company.  The Corporation  exchanged 879,805 common shares, at an exchange ratio
of .705 of a share of the  Corporation's  common stock,  for Mutual's  1,248,100
common shares.
         The  transaction  was  accounted  for as a pooling  of  interests.  The
financial  position and results of operations of the Corporation and Mutual were
combined and the fiscal year of Mutual was conformed to the Corporation's fiscal
year.
         In  October  1996,  the  Corporation  acquired  the  branch  office  of
FirstSouth  Bank  located in  Yanceyville,  North  Carolina.  In addition to the
branch  facilities and an ATM located in Yanceyville,  the Corporation  acquired
$4,775,000 in loans and assumed  deposits of $21,405,000.  This  transaction was
accounted for as a purchase. In conjunction with the Yanceyville  purchase,  the
Corporation  recorded a core deposit intangible of $1,516,000,  approximately 7%
of the deposits assumed.


5.   New Accounting Pronouncements

         In  October   1995,   SFAS  No.  123,   "Accounting   for   Stock-Based
Compensation"  was issued.  SFAS No. 123 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after  December 15, 1995.  SFAS No. 123  encourages  companies to adopt the fair
value method for  compensation  expense  recognition  related to employee  stock
options. Existing accounting requirements of Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No.  25  ("APB  No.  25")  used  the  intrinsic   value  method  in  determining
compensation  expense,  which  represents  the excess of the market price of the
stock over the  exercise  price on the  measurement  date.  SFAS No. 123 was not
applicable for the  Corporation  during fiscal 1995 or 1996, as the  Corporation
had no stock options outstanding. During fiscal 1997, the Corporation elected to
remain  under the APB No. 25 rules for the stock  options  issued in the current
year. The Corporation will be required to provide pro forma  disclosures of what
net income and  earnings per share would have been had the  Corporation  adopted
the new fair value method for recognition purposes at their fiscal year end.
         In February 1997, SFAS No. 128,  "Earnings Per Share" was issued.  SFAS
No. 128 requires  presentation of basic earnings per share and diluted  earnings
per share and supersedes or amends all previous earnings per share  presentation
requirements.  Basic  earnings  per share will be based on income  available  to
common  shareholders  divided by the weighted  average  number of common  shares
outstanding.  Diluted  earnings  per share is also based on income  available to
common shareholders  divided by the sum of the weighted average number of common
shares  outstanding  and all diluted  potential  common shares.  SFAS No. 128 is
effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 1997.  Earlier  adoption is
not  allowed.  The impact of  adopting  this new  standard  is not  expected  to
significantly impact the Corporation's earnings per share presentations.
     In June of 1997,  SFAS  No.  130,  "Reporting  Comprehensive  Income",  was
issued.  SFAS No. 130  establishes  standards  for the  prominent  reporting and
display  of   comprehensive   income  and  its  components  in  a  full  set  of
general-purpose  financial statements.  Comprehensive income is the total of net
income and other  changes in equity  that  bypass  net  income.  SFAS No. 130 is
effective  for fiscal years  beginning  after  December  15, 1997,  with earlier
application permitted,  but not required. The Corporation has not yet determined
the impact of adoption of SFAS No. 130.

                AMERICAN NATIONAL BANKSHARES INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS


EARNINGS and CAPITAL

         On March 14,  1996,  the  Corporation  completed  the  merger of Mutual
Savings Bank,  F.S.B.("Mutual")  into American National Bankshares  Inc.("ANB").
For  comparative  reporting  purposes the  financial  results for the first nine
months ended  September 30, 1996 include  income and expenses of both Mutual and
ANB during this period.
         The  Corporation's  net income for the nine months ended  September 30,
1997 was  $4,726,000,  an increase of  $1,271,000  or 37% over the net income of
$3,455,000  recorded in the same period of 1996. Net income  recorded during the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 included cost associated with the merger of
Mutual into the American National Bankshares.  Excluding the effect of this cost
and all  related  income  tax  effects,  net income  for the nine  months  ended
September 30, 1996 was $4,446,000. The $4,726,000 net income for the nine months
ended  September 30, 1997 was an increase of $280,000 or 6% over the  $4,446,000
for 1996.
         The components of the one-time cost, associated with the merger, in the
first nine months of 1996, include consulting,  legal,  accounting,  conversion,
regulatory  and other  related  fees and  expense.  Also  included in the merger
related  expense is a loss on the sale of  securities.  The loss  resulted  from
securities  held my  Mutual  that  were not  compatible  with  ANB's  investment
program.  For the six months ended June 30, 1996, the cost  associated  with the
merger  included a Federal  income tax  recapture of  $1,074,000 on untaxed loan
loss reserves of Mutual. During the quarter ended September 30, 1996 the Federal
income  tax  recapture  was  dismissed  by  congressional  legislation  and  the
$1,074,000  was  reversed  from  the  Company's  liabilities.  This  amount  was
partially  offset during the third quarter by a one-time  special  assessment by
the Federal Deposit  Insurance  Corporation  (FDIC),  in the amount of $350,000,
against deposits formerly held by Mutual to recapitalize the Savings Association
Insurance Fund (SAIF).
         Net  income  for  the  three  months  ended   September  30,  1997  was
$1,645,000,  a decrease of $388,000 or 19% from the $2,033,000  recorded  during
the same period of 1996. Excluding the effect of cost associated with the merger
of Mutual into ANB in 1996 as discussed  above,  net income for the three months
ended September 30, 1996 was $1,487,000.  For comparative  purposes,  net income
for the three months ended September 30, 1997 was an increase of $158,000 or 11%
over the net income for the three months ended September 30, 1996, excluding the
effect of cost associated with the merger.
         Net  income  per  common  share  based  on  weighted   average   shares
outstanding of 3,176,208 was $1.49 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997,
an  increase  of $.43 per share or 41%,  compared  to $1.06,  based on  weighted
average shares outstanding of 3,262,754 during the same period of 1996.
         Net  income  per  common  share  based  on  weighted   average   shares
outstanding of 3,051,733 was $.54 for the three months ended September 30, 1997,
a  decrease  of $.08 per share,  or 13%,  from the net income of $.62 per common
share based on weighted  average  shares  outstanding of 3,279,798 for the three
months ended September 30, 1996.
         On an  annualized  basis,  return on average total assets was 1.57% for
the third quarter of 1997 and 1.45% on income before merger related  expense for
the same period of 1996.  Return on average  total assets was 1.48% for both the
first  nine  months of 1997 and the first nine  months of 1996 on income  before
merger related expense. Return on average common shareholders' equity was 13.66%
for the third  quarter  ended  September  30,  1997 and 11.99% on income  before
merger related  expense for the third quarter of 1996.  Return on average common
shareholders' equity was 12.53% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and
12.03% on  income  before  merger  related  expense  for the nine  months  ended
September 30, 1996.

TRENDS AND FUTURE EVENTS

         At  September  30,  1997,  assets  were  $425,681,000,  a  decrease  of
$14,477,000 or 3% from the $440,158,000 recorded at December 31, 1996. Net loans
were  $250,132,000 at September 30, 1997, an increase of $16,623,000 or 7% above
the  $233,509,000  recorded at December 31, 1996. The increase in loans resulted
from a strong loan demand. At September 30, 1997, deposits were $356,373,000,  a
decrease of  $5,610,000  or 2% from the  $361,983,000  recorded at December  31,
1996. Due to seasonal  fluctuations in the volume of deposits (caused  primarily
by the local  marketing  of tobacco) it is not  unusual for the  Corporation  to
experience a flat or declining volume of deposits and/or assets during the first
six months of the year. In past years most of the  Corporation's  deposit growth
took place in the second half of the year.  The  decline in deposits  and assets
during the first nine months of 1997, is a departure  from trends of prior years
and is  attributable  to a slight  reduction  in  tobacco  sales,  a  management
decision to decline offering excessive deposit rates on certificates of deposits
and a reduction in equity of approximately  $6,240,000.  The reduction in equity
is the  result  of the  Company's  repurchase  of its  stock  through  a  "Dutch
Auction." The Dutch Auction is discussed below.
         On April 9, 1997,  the  Corporation  announced  that it would  offer to
purchase  250,000 shares of American  National  Bankshares Inc. common stock (or
such lesser numbers as are properly  tendered),  or  approximately  7.62% of the
shares  outstanding on that date,  from existing  shareholders.  The Corporation
conducted  the  tender  offer  through a  procedure  commonly  referred  to as a
modified "Dutch  Auction." The price was set in an amount not to be in excess of
$27 nor less than $25 per  share.  The  modified  "Dutch  Auction"  allowed  the
shareholder  to select the price within the  specified  price range at which the
shareholder was willing to sell all or some of their shares to the  Corporation.
A total of 228,065 shares were properly  tendered.  The Corporation paid $27 per
share for all shares it purchased in the offer. This price was the highest price
of those specified by tendering shareholders.
         At the  annual  meeting  of  shareholders,  held  April 22,  1997,  the
shareholders approved a Stock Option Plan permitting the Corporation to issue up
to a total of  150,000  shares of common  stock,  upon the  exercise  of options
granted under the plan,  prior to December 31, 2006. The Plan is administered by
the Stock Option  Committee of the Board of Directors.  The Committee  currently
consists only of the Company's independent  non-employee Directors. On September
16, 1997 the Stock Option Committee approved the granting of 100 options to each
full  time  employee  of the Bank and  Mutual  Mortgage  of the  Piedmont,  Inc.
employed on that date. The total options granted were 16,900.  These options may
be exercised at $28 per share between September 16, 1998 and September 16, 2007.
         During the third quarter of 1997, the Corporation  declared a quarterly
cash dividend of $.21 per share,  payable  September 26, 1997 to shareholders of
record September 12, 1997.
         Certain statements  contained above in this section are forward-looking
statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties.  In addition to the
factors  discussed  above  regarding  the local economy and the  fluctuation  of
deposits are other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially.
These  factors  include  business  conditions,  development  of new products and
services, interest rate trends, future legislation,  regulatory controls and the
risks described from time to time in the Corporation's SEC reports.


NET INTEREST INCOME

         Net  interest  income is the excess of interest  income  over  interest
expense.  During the nine months ended  September 30, 1997, net interest  income
increased  $1,319,000  or 12% over the same  period  of 1996.  During  the third
quarter of 1997,  net  interest  income  increased  $267,000 or 7% over the same
quarter of 1996.
         During the nine month  period  ended  September  30,  1997,  short term
interest  market rates  decreased  slightly.  During the next twelve  months the
Corporation's  repricing  opportunities  in  liabilities  will exceed  repricing
opportunities  of assets by  approximately  $64,765,000,  (approximately  15% of
total assets), which makes the Corporation liability sensitive.  Included in the
liabilities  are savings  accounts of $69,082,000  which are not as sensitive to
change as money market and interest bearing checking  accounts.  Considering the
reality  of  the  sensitivity  of  the  savings  accounts  makes  the  repricing
opportunities  more  balanced.  Any further  decrease in market  interest  rates
within the next twelve months may tend to increase the  Corporation's  net yield
on  interest  earning  assets,  but  Management  does not expect  this to have a
substantial  effect upon the earnings of the  Corporation  during the  projected
period.

<PAGE>


ASSET QUALITY

         Nonperforming  assets  include  loans on which  interest  is no  longer
accrued,  loans  classified  as  troubled  debt  restructurings  and  foreclosed
properties.  There  were  no  foreclosed  properties  held at the  close  of the
reporting period.
         Loans in a  nonaccrual  status at  September  30, 1997 were  $1,160,000
compared with $33,000 at December 31, 1996. Loans on accrual status and past due
90 days or more at September  30, 1997 were  $381,000  compared with $479,000 at
December 31, 1996.  The increase in loans in a nonaccrual  status  resulted from
the addition of three commercial  loans. All three additions are secured by real
estate. Two are in the process of foreclosure.  The third loan is being modified
and is expected to be collected  under a modified  plan. Two of the three loans,
totaling $757,000 are considered impaired.  Management has identified a specific
valuation  allowance  totaling $191,000 to record these loans at their estimated
fair value,  based upon the  collateral  securing the loans.  The estimated fair
value of the remaining loan is in excess of the Bank's recorded value.
     Total  nonperforming  loans  and  loans  past  due 90  days  or  more  as a
percentage  of net loans were .6% at September  30, 1997 and .2% at December 31,
1996.  Total  nonperforming  loans  and  loans  past due 90 days or more,  on an
accrual status, are considered acceptable by industry standards.
         During  the first  nine  months of 1997 the  gross  amount of  interest
income that would have been recorded on nonaccrual loans and restructured  loans
at  September  30,  1997,  if all such loans had been  accruing  interest at the
original  contractual  rate,  was $68,000.  No interest  payments  were recorded
during the reporting period as interest income for all such nonperforming loans.


PROVISION and RESERVE FOR LOAN LOSSES

     The  provision  for loan  losses was  $762,000  for the nine  months  ended
September 30, 1997 and $262,000 for the third quarter ended  September 30, 1997.
The reserve  for loan losses  totaled  $3,558,000  at  September  30,  1997,  an
increase of 16% over the $3,070,000  recorded at December 31, 1996. The ratio of
reserves to loans, less unearned  discount,  was 1.40% at September 30, 1997 and
1.30% at December 31, 1996. In  Management's  opinion,  the current  reserve for
loan losses is adequate.


NON-INTEREST INCOME

         Non-interest  income for the third quarter ended September 30, 1997 was
$835,000,  an increase of 23% from the $678,000 reported in the third quarter of
1996. The components of the increase in the third quarter of 1997 included an 8%
increase in trust and  investment  services  revenue,  a 24% increase in service
charges on deposit  accounts  due to  procedural  changes in  applying  fees for
overdrafts and returned checks, a 64% increase ($16,000) in non-deposit fees and
insurance commissions, due primarily to increases in ATM fees and collection and
exchange  fees and an increase of $65,000 in other  income  primarily  from fees
generated  by the  Bank's  subsidiary,  Mutual  Mortgage  of the  Piedmont  Inc.
("Mutual Mortgage"). Mutual Mortgage originates and sells loans in the secondary
market.
         Non-interest  income for the nine months ended  September  30, 1997 was
$2,356,000,  a 15% increase from the $2,049,000  reported for the same period of
1996.  The  components  of the  increase  included  a 5%  decrease  in trust and
investment  services  revenue  due to the  comparison  of  unusually  high trust
department  fees recorded  during the second  quarter of 1996. The components of
the increase also included a 38% increase in service charges on deposit accounts
due primarily to procedural changes in applying fees for overdrafts and returned
checks, a 27% increase  ($20,000) in non-deposit fees and insurance  commissions
due primarily to increases in ATM fees and  collection  and exchange fees and an
increase of $205,000 in other income which consisted primarily of fees earned by
Mutual Mortgage.


NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

         Non-interest expense for the third quarter ended September 30, 1997 was
$2,466,000, a 1% decrease over the $2,496,000 reported for the same quarter last
year.  Components of the decrease included a 15% increase in salaries  primarily
from the  addition of  personnel  at the  Yanceyville  branch  office and Mutual
Mortgage, an 8% increase in pension and other employee benefits,  which included
the addition of personnel at the Yanceyville location and Mutual Mortgage, a 27%
increase in  occupancy  and  equipment  expense  which was  attributable  to the
Yanceyville  acquisition  and the  renovation  of the Main  office and the Tower
Drive office and a 95%  reduction  ($368,000)  in FDIC  insurance  expense which
resulted  from a reduction in the premiums  paid in the third quarter of 1997 on
deposits  of Mutual  Savings  Bank  compared  to the same  period of 1996.  Also
included was a 14% increase in postage and printing,  resulting  partially  from
the  acquisition of the  Yanceyville  branch office and Mutual  Mortgage,  a 54%
increase ($40,000) in core deposit intangibles as a result of the acquisition of
the  Yanceyville  branch  office and an 11%  increase  in other  expenses  which
included  additional  expenses  related  to the  Yanceyville  office  and Mutual
Mortgage.  The third quarter of 1996 included merger related expenses of $5,000.

nine months of 1996. The  components of the decrease  included a 19% increase in
salaries due  primarily to the addition of personnel at the  Yanceyville  office
and Mutual Mortgage,  a 19% increase in pension and other employee  benefits due
primarily  to the addition of  personnel  at the  Yanceyville  office and Mutual
Mortgage,  a 20% increase in occupancy and equipment expense due to the addition
of the  Yanceyville  office and the  renovation of the Main office and the Tower
Drive office and an 87% decrease ($408,000) in FDIC insurance expense due to the
lower  rates  charged  by the FDIC on  deposits  of Mutual  Savings  Bank.  Also
included  was a 9%  increase  in postage and  printing,  a 54%  increase in core
deposit intangible expense resulting from the Yanceyville acquisition and an 18%
increase in other expenses  primarily related to the addition of the Yanceyville
office and Mutual  Mortgage.  During the first nine months of 1996  non-interest

INCOME TAX PROVISION

         The income tax provision  for the nine months ended  September 30, 1997
was  $2,095,000,  an increase of $383,000  from the  $1,712,000  reported a year
earlier.  The  provision  recorded  in 1996  included  a  one-time  Federal  tax
assessment associated with Mutual's prior untaxed loan loss reserves through the
second quarter. During the third quarter of 1996, this assessment was eliminated
by  Congressional  action.  The  effective  tax rates for the nine month periods
ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 were 31% and 33%, respectively.


CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

     Federal regulatory  risk-based capital ratio guidelines require percentages
to be applied to various assets including  off-balance-sheet  assets in relation
to their perceived risk. Tier I capital includes  shareholders'  equity and Tier
II capital  includes  certain  components of  nonpermanent  preferred  stock and
subordinated  debt.  The  Corporation  has no  nonpermanent  preferred  stock or
subordinated  debt. Banks and bank holding  companies must have a Tier I capital
ratio of at least 4% and a total ratio, including Tier I and Tier II capital, of
at least 8%. As of September 30, 1997 the  Corporation  had a ratio of 16.9% for
Tier I and a ratio of 18.2% for total capital. At December 31, 1996 these ratios
were 19.4% and 20.7%, respectively.  The decline in these ratios during 1997 was
due primarily to the stock repurchase program concluded in May 1997.
     The  following  cash  dividends  were paid  during the first nine months of
1997:

                  Declared by
                  Board of Directors   Record date            Date Paid

 $.21 per share  August 19, 1997      September 12, 1997     September 26, 1997


LIQUIDITY

     The  Corporation's  net liquid assets to net  liabilities  ratio was 25% at
September  30,  1997 and 32% at  December  31,  1996.  Both of these  ratios are
considered to reflect adequate liquidity for the respective periods.
     Management  constantly  monitors  and  plans  the  Corporation's  liquidity
position for future periods. Liquidity is provided from cash and due from banks,
federal funds sold,  interest-bearing  deposits in other banks,  repayments from
loans,  seasonal  increases in deposits,  lines of credit from two correspondent
banks and two federal agency banks and a planned structured  continuous maturity
of investments.  Management  believes that these factors provide  sufficient and
timely liquidity for the foreseeable future.
