                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 March 31, 1997,  the results of its operations and its
cash flows for the three  months  then  ended.  Operating  results for the three
month period ended March 31, 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 March 31, 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 for  investment 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 March 31, 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 March 31, 1997 and
December 31, 1996, there were no borrowings outstanding under this availability.
Commitments to extend credit,  which amount to $60,185,000 at March 31, 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
March 31, 1997 and  December  31,  1996 the Bank had  $756,000  and  $705,000 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 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.


 
                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 three months ended March
31, 1996 include  income and expenses of both Mutual and ANB during this period.
The  Corporation's  net  income for the first  quarter  of 1997 was  $1,537,000.
During the first quarter of 1996, a net loss of $136,000 was recorded due to the
effect of cost  associated with the merger and related income tax of $1,526,000.
For  comparative  purposes  the net  income  in the  first  quarter  of 1996 was
$1,390,000,  after  excluding the effect of cost  associated with the merger and
all related  income tax. The net income of  $1,537,000  in the first  quarter of
1997 was an increase of $147,000 or 11% over the $1,390,000  recorded during the
same period of 1996. The components of the one-time  cost,  associated  with the
merger, in the first quarter of 1996,  include a federal income tax recapture on
untaxed  loan  loss  reserves  of  Mutual  and  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.  These  were
securities held by Mutual and were not compatible with ANB's investment program.
Net income per common share was $.47 for the first quarter of 1997. Net loss per
common  share was $.04 for the same  period  of 1996.  On an  annualized  basis,
return on average total assets was 1.43% for the first quarter of 1997 and 1.74%
on income before merger related  expense for the same period of 1996.  Return on
average common shareholders' equity was 11.70% for the first quarter of 1997 and
14.59% on income before merger related expense for the first quarter of 1996.

TRENDS AND FUTURE EVENTS  
- ------------------------
During the first quarter of 1997,  net loans  increased  $10,245,000  or 4%. The
increase is the result of a strong loan demand and indicates the  continuance of
a healthy local  economy.  The increase in loans was funded from the proceeds of
maturing investment  securities and cash. Total investment  securities decreased
during the first quarter of 1997 by $20,562,000 or 12%. Total deposits decreased
$2,717,000  or 1% during  the first  quarter of 1997 and  repurchase  agreements
increased  $468,000 or 3% during the same  period.  Historically  deposits  have
decreased  during the first calendar quarter of each year (with the exception of
the first quarter of 1996,  which increased 1%). The volume of deposits tends to
be  relatively  flat during the first half of each year and  accelerates  in the
second half of the year. At December 31, 1996, the Company purchased  $8,425,000
in overnight  federal funds.  At March 31, 1997, the Company sold  $5,350,000 in
overnight  federal  funds.  The increase in the cash  position was caused by the
maturity of several investments during the quarter.  During the first quarter of
1997, the Corporation declared a quarterly cash dividend of $.18 per share. This
dividend was paid on March 28, 1997 to shareholders of record on March 14, 1997.
On March 26, 1997 the Federal  Reserve Board increased short term interest rates
by 1/4% and the major money center  banks  followed by raising the prime rate by
1/4%.  On April 9,  1997,  the  Corporation  announced  that it is  offering  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
currently  outstanding  shares, from existing  shareholders.  The Corporation is
conducting  the tender  offer  through a  procedure  commonly  referred  to as a
modified  "Dutch  Auction." The price will not be in excess of $27 nor less than
$25 per share. The modified "Dutch Auction" allows the shareholder to select the
price within the specified  price range at which the  shareholder  is willing to
sell all or some of their shares to the  Corporation.  The Corporation  will pay
the same per share price for all shares it purchases in the offer. If the number
of shares  properly  tendered  is equal to or less than the number of shares the
Corporation  seeks to purchase through the offer, the purchase price will be the
highest price of those  specified by tendering  shareholders.  The period during
which shareholders may tender their shares expired at 5:00 pm, Thursday,  May 8,
1997.  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 to be
administered  by the  Stock  Option  Committee  of the Board of  Directors.  The
Committee  currently  consists  only of the Company's  independent  non-employee
Directors. No stock options have been issued under this plan.

NET INTEREST INCOME
- -------------------
Net  interest  income is the excess of interest  income over  interest  expense.
During the first quarter of 1997, net interest income increased  $490,000 or 13%
over the same  period of 1996.  During  the first  quarter  of 1997,  short term
interest  market  rates  increased  slightly  due to the  action of the  Federal
Reserve Board in March. During the next twelve months repricing opportunities in
liabilities  will  exceed  repricing  opportunities  of assets by  approximately
$58,964,000,  (approximately  14% of total assets),  which makes the Corporation
liability  sensitive.  Any further increases in market interest rates within the
next twelve months may tend to decrease 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.
 
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 March 31,  1997 were  $278,000  compared  with  $33,000 at
December 31, 1996.  Loans on accrual status and past due 90 or more at March 31,
1997 were $257,000  compared with $479,000 at December 31, 1996. This change was
primarily due to the movement of one large commercial loan from past due 90 days
to a nonperforming  status. Total nonperforming loans and loans past due 90 days
or more as a percentage of net loans were .2% at March 31, 1997 and 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  quarter of 1997 the gross amount of interest  income that would have been
recorded on nonaccrual  loans and  restructured  loans at March 31, 1997, if all
such loans had been  accruing  interest at the original  contractual  rate,  was
$14,000.  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 $243,000  for the first  quarter of 1997 and
$131,000  for the first  quarter of 1996.  The reserve  for loan losses  totaled
$3,206,000 at March 31, 1997 an increase of 4% over the  $3,070,000  recorded at
December 31, 1996. The ratio of reserves to loans, less unearned  discount,  was
1.30% at both March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996. This ratio is lower than the
ratios provided by the Corporation in past years. As a result of the merger with
Mutual  Savings Bank, the mix of loans in the  Corporation's  portfolio has been
heavily  shifted  to  mortgage  loans  due to  Mutual's  high  concentration  of
mortgages.  The  mortgage  loan  portfolio  is well secured and requires a lower
allocation of the Corporation's loan loss reserve than does the remainder of the
loan portfolio.  In Management's opinion, the current reserve for loan losses is
adequate.

NON-INTEREST INCOME
- -------------------
Non-interest  income for the first quarter of 1997 was $738,000,  an increase of
21% from the $610,000  reported in the first quarter of 1996.  The components of
the  increase  in the first  quarter  of 1997  included a 4%  decrease  in trust
revenue due to  fluctuations in new business  booked,  a 68% increase in service
charges on deposit accounts due to increased  deposits and procedural changes in
applying fees for overdrafts and returned checks. Non-deposit fees and insurance
commissions  increase  1%.  Other  income  increased  70%,  primarily  from fees
collected by Mutual  Mortgage of the Piedmont,  a subsidiary of the Bank,  which
originates and sells loans in the secondary market.
 
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE
- --------------------
Non-interest  expense  for the  first  quarter  of 1997  was  $2,515,000,  a 24%
decrease from the  $3,313,000  reported for the same period last year.  Salaries
increased  20% from the same period last year,  primarily due to the addition of
personnel.  Pension and other employee benefits  increased 33% due to additional
personnel,   additional   401-K   funding  by  the  Bank  and  pension   funding
requirements.  Occupancy and equipment  expense increased 15% due to renovations
and new equipment,  FDIC insurance  expense  decreased 51% due to a reduction in
premiums by the FDIC and postage and printing expense decreased 3%. Core deposit
intangible  expense  increased  55%  due to the  amortization  of  core  deposit
intangibles recorded in the acquisition of the Yanceyville branch office. Merger
related expenses in 1996 totaled $1,168,000 and consisted of consulting,  legal,
accounting, conversion and regulatory fees and expense and a loss on the sale of
securities  acquired from Mutual in the merger that were not compatible with the
Corporation's  investment program.  There were no merger related expenses in the
first quarter of 1997. Other non-interest expense increased 12% primarily due to
increases in legal and telephone expenses and bank franchise taxes.
 
INCOME TAX PROVISION
- --------------------
The income tax provision for the first quarter of 1997 was $642,000,  a decrease
of $369,000 from the $1,011,000 reported a year earlier. The $1,011,000 recorded
in 1996  included a one-time  Federal tax  assessment  associated  with Mutual's
prior  untaxed  loan loss  reserves.  During  the third  quarter  of 1996,  this
assessment was reduced by $926,000. The effective tax rate for the first quarter
of 1997 was 29%.

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 March 31, 1997 the  Corporation had a ratio of 19.2% for Tier
I and a ratio of 20.5% for total capital. At December 31, 1996 these ratios were
19.4% and 20.7%,  respectively.  A cash  dividend  of $.18 per share was paid on
3,279,798  shares of common stock  outstanding on March 28, 1997 to shareholders
of record March 14, 1997. This dividend totaled $590,000.

LIQUIDITY
- ---------
The  Corporation's  net liquid assets to net liabilities  ratio was 28% at March
31, 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.
