                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 June 30, 1998,  the results of its  operations and its
cash flows for the three and six months  then ended.  Operating  results for the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998 are not  necessarily  indicative
of the results  that may be expected  for the year ended  December  31,  1998. 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 1997.

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.
     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 June 30, 1998 and
December 31, 1997, 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.  The Bank's investment policy currently  prohibits trading
account securities.
     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'
equity at June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997.

3.  Commitments and Contingencies

     The  Bank  has  an  established  credit   availability  in  the  amount  of
$60,000,000 with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta.  Borrowings  outstanding
under this availability were $9,025,000 and $0,  respectively,  at June 30, 1998
and December 31, 1997.
     Commitments to extend credit,  which amount to $63,389,000 at June 30, 1998
and $64,774,000 at December 31, 1997,  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
June 30, 1998 and  December  31, 1997 the Bank had  $1,056,000  and  $1,500,000,
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

     The corporation  adopted  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No.
130, "Reporting Comprehensive  Income"("SFAS No. 130"), during the first quarter
of 1998.  This  statement  establishes  standards for reporting a measure of all
changes in equity of an enterprise  that result from  transactions  and economic
events of the period other than transactions  with owners  ("economic  income").
SFAS No. 130 requires an enterprise to report  comprehensive income in the notes
to the financial  statements on an interim  basis.  The following is a detail of
comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998:

                                                         June 30, 1998

     The Financial  Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") also issued Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  131,  "Disclosures  about  Segments of an
Enterprise  and  Related  Information",  in June  1997,  which  establishes  new
standards  for  reporting  information  about  operating  segments in annual and
interim  financial   statements.   This  statement  also  requires   descriptive
information  about the way operating  segments are determined,  the products and
services  provided  by the  segments  and  the  nature  of  differences  between
reportable segment measurements and those used for the consolidated entity. This
Statement is effective for years beginning after December 15, 1997.  Adoption in
interim  financial  statements is not required until the year following  initial
adoption.  Once  adopted,  however,  comparative  prior  period  information  is
required.  The  Corporation  is  evaluating  the Statement and plans to adopt as
required  in 1998.  Adoption is not  expected  to have a material  impact on the
Corporation.

     In February,  1998, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No.  132,  "Employers'   Disclosures  about  Pension  and  Other  Postretirement
Benefits" ("SFAS No. 132"), an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, and 106.
This   Statement   revises employers' disclosures   about   pension  and  other
postretirement  benefit plans. It does not change the measurement or recognition
of those plans. It  standardizes  the disclosure  requirements  for pensions and
other  postretirement  benefits to the extent  practicable,  requires additional
information on changes in the benefit obligations and fair values of plan assets
that will facilitate  financial  analysis,  and eliminates  certain  disclosures
previously required.
     FASB No. 132 is effective  for fiscal years  beginning  after  December 15,
1997.  The  Corporation  plans to adopt  SFAS No.  132,  as  required,  in 1998.
Adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Corporation.

MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION  AND  ANALYSIS OF  FINANCIAL  CONDITION  AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS EARNINGS and CAPITAL

     The  Corporation's  net  income  for the  first  six  months  of  1998  was
$3,412,000,  an increase of 10.7% over the  $3,081,0000  earned during the first
half of 1997. On a basic and diluted per share basis,  net income  totaled $1.12
for the first six months of 1998,  up 17.9% from $.95 in the 1997 period.  On an
annualized basis, return on average total assets was 1.59% for the first half of
1998  compared  to 1.45% for the same period in 1997.  Return on average  common
shareholders'  equity  increased to 13.40% for the first six months of 1998 from
12.00% for the first half of 1997.
     The Corporation's net income for the second quarter of 1998 was $1,751,000,
an increase of 13.4% over the  $1,544,0000  earned  during the first  quarter of
1997.  On a basic and diluted per share basis,  net income  totaled $.58 for the
quarter,  up 20.8% from $.48 in 1997. On an annualized basis,  return on average
total assets was 1.62% for the second  quarter of 1998 compared to 1.46% for the
second quarter of 1997. Return on average common  shareholders' equity increased
to 13.60% in the first  quarter  of 1998 from  12.30%  for the first  quarter of
1997.
     The Corporation decreased shareholders' equity during the second quarter of
1997 with the repurchase of 228,065 shares of common stock for  $6,278,000.  The
7% reduction in  outstanding  shares of common stock during second  quarter 1997
enhanced net income per share and return on equity for the first half and second
quarter of 1998 compared to the same periods in 1997.
     The Corporation's growth in earnings resulted from three principal factors.
First, net interest income improved $482,000, or 5.7% from a higher net interest
spread in the first six months of 1998  compared to the first six months of 1997
(see discussion on NET INTEREST INCOME). Second, the 23.3% growth in noninterest
income in the first six months of 1998 over the same period in 1997 demonstrates
the  continued  success  of the  Corporation's  expanded  trust  and  investment
services,  higher  service  charges  and ATM fees and an  increase  in fees from
originating  and selling fixed rate mortgage loans.  Third,  the Corporation has
controlled noninterest expenses which have grown less in the first six months of
1998 than the combined growth in net interest income and noninterest income.

TRENDS and FUTURE EVENTS

     During  the first six months of 1998,  net loans  increased  $5,421,000  or
2.2%.  The  increase is the result of moderate  loan  demand and  indicates  the
continuance  of a healthy  local  economy.  The  increase in loans was funded by
borrowings  from  the  Federal  Home  Loan  Bank of  Atlanta.  Total  investment
securities increased during the first six months of 1998 by $1,990,000 or 1.4%.
     Total deposits decreased  $3,974,000 or 1.1% during the first six months of
1998 and  repurchase  agreements  increased  $1,321,000  or 7.3% during the same
period. Historically, deposits have been flat or down in the first six months of
the year. The increase in repurchase agreements reflects the trend by commercial
accounts to earn higher rates on cash balances.
     During the second  quarter of 1998,  the  Corporation  declared a quarterly
cash  dividend of $.24 per share  which was an increase  over the $.21 per share
declared and in the first quarter of 1998. The second quarter  dividend was paid
on June 26, 1998 to shareholders of record on June 8, 1998.
     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%.  U.S.  Treasury yields have declined almost 1% since March 1997 in
response to the Asian financial crisis and due to low inflation.
<PAGE>
     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 which consists only of the
Company's non-employee Directors.

YEAR 2000 ISSUE

     The Corporation is aware of the issues associated with the programming code
in existing  computer systems as the millennium  ("year 2000")  approaches.  The
year 2000 problem is pervasive and complex as virtually every computer operation
and many  equipment  systems will be affected in some way by the rollover of the
two digit year value to 00. 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 utilizing  both  internal  and  external  resources to
identify, correct or reprogram, and test systems for year 2000 compliance. It is
anticipated  that  all  reprogramming  and most  testing  will be  completed  by
December 31,1998,  allowing additional time for testing on reprogrammed systems.
To  date,  confirmations  have  been  received  from the  Corporation's  primary
processing  vendors  that plans are being  developed  to address  processing  of
transaction  in the year 2000. An  educational  process has been  implemented to
assist and assure that major customers are year 2000 compliant.
     Based  on  a  preliminary   study,   the   Corporation   expects  to  spend
approximately  $125,000  in 1998 and 1999 to  modify  its  computer  information
systems enabling proper processing of transactions relating to the year 2000 and
beyond. The amount expensed in first six months of 1998 was immaterial.
 
NET INTEREST INCOME

     Net  interest  income  on a fully  taxable  equivalent  ("FTE")  basis  was
$9,202,000 for the first six months of 1998 compared to $8,705,000 for the first
six months of 1997, an increase of 5.7%.  The interest rate spread  increased to
3.85%  from 3.59% and the net yield on earning  assets  increased  to 4.55% from
4.32% in the first six months of 1998  compared to the first six months of 1997,
respectively. These increases were due to higher yields on loans and investments
and lower yields on  interest-bearing  liabilities  and because higher  yielding
loan  balances  rose while lower  yielding  investment  balances  declined.  The
percentage  increase in the interest rate spread was higher than the  percentage
increase  in net  interest  income and the net yield on earning  assets  because
average  interest earning assets  increased  $1,683,000  while  interest-bearing
liabilities increased $2,801,000. Average shareholders' equity was down $442,000
in first half of 1998 compared to first half of 1997 due to the stock repurchase
in second quarter 1997.
     Net  interest  income  on a fully  taxable  equivalent  ("FTE")  basis  was
$4,638,000  in the second  quarter of 1998  compared to $4,383,000 in the second
quarter of 1997,  an increase of 5.8%.  The  interest  rate spread  increased to
3.84%  from 3.65% and the net yield on earning  assets  increased  to 4.55% from
4.39% in the second  quarter  of 1998  compared  to the second  quarter of 1997,
respectively.
     The following  tables  demonstrate  fluctuations in net interest income and
the related  yields for the first six months and second quarter of 1998 compared
to similar prior year periods.

ASSET QUALITY

     Nonperforming  assets include loans on which interest is no longer accrued,
loans  classified as troubled debt  restructurings  and  foreclosed  properties.
Nonperforming  assets declined from $778,000 at December 31, 1997 to $484,000 at
June 30, 1998.
     Foreclosed  properties  of $385,000 at June  30,1998 and  December 31, 1997
include two commercial real estate properties.
     Loans in a nonaccrual  status at June 30, 1998 were $99,000  compared  with
$393,000 at December 31, 1997.  Loans on accrual  status and past due 90 or more
at June 30, 1998 were $38,000 compared with $181,000 at December 31, 1997.
     Total  nonperforming  loans  and  loans  past  due 90  days  or  more  as a
percentage  of net loans were .1% at June 30, 1998 and .2% at December 31, 1997.
Total  nonperforming  loans and loans  past due 90 days or more,  on an  accrual
status, are considered low by industry standards.  Net charge-offs for the first
six months of 1998 as a percentage  of average  loans  declined to .04 % in 1998
from  .06 % in the  first  half of  1997.  These  charge-off  ratios  are low by
industry standards.
     During the first six  months of 1998 the gross  amount of  interest  income
that would have been recorded on nonaccrual loans and restructured loans at June
30,  1998,  if all  such  loans  had  been  accruing  interest  at the  original
contractual  rate,  was $5,000.  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 $475,000 for the first half and $223,000
for the second quarter of 1998 versus $500,000 and $257,000,  respectively,  for
the 1997  periods.  The reserve for loan losses  totaled  $3,637,000 at June 30,
1998 an increase of 11.0% over the $3,277,000 recorded at December 31, 1997. The
ratio of reserves to loans, less unearned  discount,  was 1.40% at June 30, 1998
and 1.29% at December 31, 1997. In Management's opinion, the current reserve for
loan losses is adequate.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

     Non-interest  income  for the first six months of 1998 was  $1,876,000,  an
increase of 23.3% from the $1,521,000  reported in the first six months of 1997.
The major reasons for the 1998 first half growth in  non-interest  income were a
19.0% increase in trust and  investment  services to $1,067,000 due to growth in
managed investment accounts and an increase in mortgage banking income of 138.3%
to $193,000  due to  increased  origination  and sale of fixed rate  residential
mortgage loans.  Service charges on deposit accounts were $438,000 for the first
six months of 1998, up 14.7% over the first half of 1997 while  non-deposit fees
and insurance  commissions were up 146.2% to $128,000 due primarily to increased
non-customer ATM fees.
     Non-interest  income  for the  second  quarter  of 1998  was  $980,000,  an
increase of 25.2% from the $783,000  reported in the second quarter of 1997. The
major reasons for the 1998 second quarter growth in  non-interest  income were a
16.6%  increase in trust and  investment  services to $548,000  due to growth in
managed investment  accounts and an increase in mortgage banking income of 61.8%
to $89,000  due to  increased  origination  and sale of fixed  rate  residential
mortgage  loans.  Service  charges on deposit fees were  $251,000 for the second
quarter of 1998, up 27.4% over the second quarter of 1997 while non-deposit fees
and  insurance  commissions  were up 180.0% to $70,000 due largely to  increased
non-customer ATM fees.
 
<PAGE>
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

     Non-interest  expense  for the first six months of 1998 was  $5,421,000,  a
7.2%  increase  from the  $5,057,000  reported  for the same  period  last year.
Salaries  increased  2.2% from the same period last year to  $2,441,000  in 1998
while pension and other employee  benefits  increased 8.7% to $575,000,  largely
from increased  medical  insurance.  Occupancy and equipment  expense  increased
35.7%  to  $905,000  due to  depreciation  and  maintenance  on  new  technology
equipment  and  increased  license  fees on  existing  equipment.  Core  deposit
intangible  amortization  of  $225,000  for the  first  half of  1998  and  1997
represents the amortization of the premium paid for deposits  acquired at Gretna
in August 1995 and Yanceyville in 1996.  Other  non-interest  expense  increased
1.3% to $1,034,000 in the first half of 1998.
     Non-interest expense for the second quarter of 1998 was $2,748,000,  a 8.1%
increase from the  $2,542,000  reported for the same period last year.  Salaries
increased  2.0% from the same period last year to  $1,235,000  for the first six
months of 1998 while  pension and other  employee  benefits  increased  11.6% to
$288,000.  Occupancy and equipment  expense increased 46.3% due to new equipment
and higher license fees,  primarily  related to technology.  Other  non-interest
expense  increased  1.7% to $536,000 in the second quarter of 1998 from the same
prior year period.

INCOME TAX PROVISION

     The income tax provision  for the first six months of 1998 was  $1,513,000,
an  increase  of  $167,000  from the  $1,346,000  reported a year  earlier.  The
effective tax rate for the first six months of 1998 was 30.7%  compared to 30.4%
for the first half of 1997.

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 June 30, 1998 the Corporation had a ratio of 17.4% for Tier I
and a ratio of 18.7% for total  capital.  At  December  31,  1997 and 1996 these
ratios were 17.1% and 18.4%, respectively. A cash dividend of $.24 per share was
paid on  3,051,733  shares  of  common  stock  outstanding  on June 26,  1998 to
shareholders of record June 8, 1998. This dividend totaled $732,400.

MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT

     The  effective  management  of market risk is essential  to  achieving  the
Corporation's  objectives.  As a financial  institution,  interest rate risk and
it's impact on net  interest  income is the primary  market risk  exposure.  The
Asset/Liability  Investment  Committee  ("ALCO") is  primarily  responsible  for
establishing  asset and liability  strategies and for monitoring and controlling
liquidity and interest  rate risk.  ALCO uses  computer  simulation  analysis to
measure the  sensitivity  of earnings  and market  value of equity to changes in
interest rates.

<PAGE>
     The projected  changes in net interest income and market value of portfolio
equity ("MVE") to changes in interest rates are calculated and monitored by ALCO
as  indicators  of interest  rate risk.  The  projected  changes in net interest
income and MVE to changes in interest  rates at June 30,1998 were not materially
different from December 31, 1997.
     The  Corporation's  net liquid assets to net liabilities ratio was 25.2% at
June 30,  1998  and  27.2% at  December  31,  1997.  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.

EXHIBIT 10.1


     THIS AGREEMENT,  made this 1st day of June,  1998, by and between  AMERICAN
NATIONAL BANK AND TRUST COMPANY, a national banking  association,  ("the Bank"),
and T. ALLEN LILES ("the Employee").

     WHEREAS, the Bank values the ability of the Employee as an important member
of management and recognizes that his future services are vital to its continued
growth and profits and that the loss of his services would result in substantial
cost in the efficient and effective operation of the Bank; and,

     WHEREAS,  the Bank in order to  retain  the  services  of the  Employee  is
willing to provide retirement  benefits and/or death benefits for his designated
beneficiary as set out below;

         NOW THEREFORE, it is mutually agreed that:

     1. If the Employee dies while  employed by the Bank prior to Retirement (as
hereinafter defined),  the Bank shall pay the annual sum of $25,000,  payable in
annual  installments,  for  a  period  of  ten  years,  to  such  individual  or
individuals as the Employee shall have designated in writing filed with the Bank
or, in the absence of such designation, to the estate of the Employee. The first
payment shall be made not later than three months  following the Employee's date
of death.

     2. In the event the  Employee  terminates  employment  because of the total
disability of the Employee, and such disability continues until the death of the
Employee or the Employee  attains the age of 62 years,  whichever  occurs first,
the  Employee  shall be  entitled  to  receive  from the Bank the  annual sum of
$25,000,  payable in annual  installments  beginning not later than three months
following the Employee's date of death or the date the Employee  attains the age
of 62 years,  whichever occurs first, for a period of ten years. If the Employee
should die during the said ten year period,  the installments  shall continue to
be payable until the  expiration  of said ten year period to such  individual or
individuals as the Employee shall have designated in writing filed with the Bank
or, in the absence of such designation, to the estate of the Employee.

     3. Upon Retirement, the Employee shall be entitled to receive from the Bank
the annual sum of $25,000,  payable in annual  installments  beginning not later
than three months after  retirement,  for a period of ten years. If the Employee
should die during said ten year period,  the  installments  shall continue to be
payable  until the  expiration  of said ten year  period to such  individual  or
individuals as the Employee shall have designated in writing filed with the Bank
or, in the absence of such designation, to the estate of the Employee.

     4. In the event,  following a Change in Control (as  hereinafter  defined),
(a) the Employee terminates  employment following a Change in Control or (b) the
Bank  terminates  the  Employee's  employment  for other than  Proper  Cause (as
hereinafter  defined),  the Employee  shall be entitled to receive from the Bank
the annual sum of $25,000,  payable in annual  installments  beginning not later
than  three  months  following  the  Employee's  date of  death  or the date the
Employee  attains the age of 62 years,  whichever  occurs first, for a period of
ten years.  If the  Employee  should die  during the said ten year  period,  the
installments  shall continue to be payable until the expiration of said ten year
period to such  individual or individuals as the Employee shall have  designated
in writing  filed with the Bank or, in the absence of such  designation,  to the
estate of the Employee.

     5. During the period of  disability  and/or  during the ten year period the
Employee is receiving  payments  under this  Agreement,  the  Employee  will not
become  associated  with, or engage in, or render  service to any other business
competitive to the business of the Bank within a fifty-mile radius of any office
of the Bank.

     6. If the Employee shall fail to substantially perform all of the terms and
conditions of this  Agreement to be performed by him, or if other than following
Change  in  Control  he  voluntarily  leaves  the  employ  of the Bank  prior to
retirement,  or if prior to retirement he is discharged  for Proper Cause,  then
all  subsequent  compensation  required  to be  paid  by the  Bank to him or any
designated  beneficiary,  or the remainder thereof, as the case may be, shall be
forfeited.

     7. If any benefits  become payable under this  Agreement,  the Employee (or
designated  beneficiary in the case of the Employee's  death) shall file a claim
for benefits by notifying the Bank orally or in writing.  If the claim is wholly
or partially  denied,  the Bank shall  provide a written  notice  within 90 days
specifying  the reason for the denial,  the provisions of the Agreement on which
the denial is based, and additional material or information necessary to receive
benefits, if any. Also, such written notice shall indicate the steps to be taken
if a review of the denial is desired.

     If a claim is denied and a review is desired,  the Employee (or  designated
beneficiary  in the  case of the  Employee's  death)  shall  notify  the Bank in
writing within 60 days. In requesting a review,  the Employee or beneficiary may
submit any written issues and comments he feels are appropriate.  The Bank shall
then  review  the claim and  provide a  written  decision  within 60 days.  This
decision  shall state the specific  reasons for the  decision and shall  include
references to specific provisions on which the decision is based.

     8. Neither the Employee nor any designated beneficiary shall have any right
to sell, assign,  transfer or otherwise convey the right to receive any payments
hereunder.

<PAGE>

     9. Any  payments  under  this  Agreement  shall be  independent  of, and in
addition  to, those under any other plan,  program or agreement  which may be in
effect  between the parties  hereto,  or any other  compensation  payable to the
Employee or the Employee's  designated  beneficiary by the Bank.  This Agreement
shall not be  construed  as a contract of  employment  nor does it restrict  the
right of the Bank to discharge the Employee for Proper Cause or the right of the
Employee to terminate employment.

     The Bank shall be under no obligation  whatever to purchase or maintain any
contract,  policy or other asset to provide the benefits  under this  Agreement.
Further,  any  contract,  policy or other  asset  which the Bank may  utilize to
assure itself of the funds to provide the benefits  hereunder shall not serve in
any way as  security  to the  Employee  for the  Bank's  performance  under this
Agreement.  The rights  accruing to the  Employee or any  beneficiary  hereunder
shall be solely those of an unsecured creditor of the Bank.

     10.  "Change in Control"  means if: (a) after the date hereof,  any person,
including a "group" as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act, becomes,
directly or  indirectly,  the  beneficial  owner of shares of American  National
Bankshares Inc.  ("Bankshares")  having 30% or more of the combined voting power
of the then  outstanding  shares of Bankshares that may be cast for the election
of  the  Bankshares'  directors  (other  than  as a  result  of an  issuance  of
securities  initiated by Bankshares  or a tender offer or open market  purchases
approved by the Board of Directors of Bankshares  ("the Board"),  as long as the
majority of the Board  approving  the  purchases  are  directors at the time the
purchases  are  made);  or  (b) as the  direct  or  indirect  result  of,  or in
connection  with, a cash tender or exchange  offer,  a merger or other  business
combination,  a sale of  assets,  a  contested  election  of  directors,  or any
combination of these transactions,  the persons who were directors of Bankshares
before any such transactions cease to constitute a majority of the Board, or any
successor's board, within two years of the last of such transactions.

     11.  "Retirement"  means  the  Employee's  retirement  from the  Bank  upon
attaining  at  least 62 years  of age or such  earlier  date as may be  mutually
agreed upon by the Employee and the Bank.

     12. "Proper Cause" means:

         (a) conviction of the Employee for a felony or misdemeanor  involving
             moral turpitude;

         (b) failure or refusal by the Employee to faithfully or diligently
             perform the duties reasonably required by the Bank; or

<PAGE>

         (c) any act by the Employee which, under Federal law or regulation,
             disqualifies the Employee from serving as an officer of the Bank.
 
     13. The laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia shall govern this Agreement.

     14.  This  Agreement  may not be  altered,  amended or revoked  except by a
written agreement signed by the Bank and Employee.

     15. This Agreement  shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of
any successor entity of the Bank.

     16. Where  appropriate in this Agreement,  words used in the singular shall
include the plural and words used in the masculine shall include the feminine.

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement.
