                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, 1999,  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, 1999 are not necessarily  indicative of the results
that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 1999.
     The consolidated  financial  statements  include the amounts and results of
operations of American  National  Bankshares  Inc. ("the  Corporation")  and its
wholly owned subsidiary,  American National Bank and Trust Company ("the Bank").
A summary of the Corporation's  significant  accounting policies is set forth in
Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Corporation's 1998 Annual
Report on Form 10-K.

2.  Investment Securities

     The  Corporation   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.
     The  Corporation  does not permit the  purchase or sale of trading  account
securities. If such securities were permitted,  market adjustments,  fees, gains
or losses and income earned on trading account  securities  would be included in
non-interest  income.  Gains  or  losses  realized  from  the  sale  of  trading
securities would be determined by specific identification.
     Premiums and discounts on  investment  securities  are amortized  using the
interest method.

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. As of March 31, 1999 and
December  31,  1998,  there  were  $16,540,000  and  $13,000,00,   respectively,
outstanding under this availability.
     Commitments to extend credit, which amount to $65,023,000 at March 31, 1999
and $67,466,000 at December 31, 1998,  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.
     There were  $1,998,000  in  commitments  at March 31, 1999 and  $952,000 at
December 31, 1998 to purchase securities when issued.
     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,  1999 and  December  31,  1998 the Bank had  $854,000  and  $682,000,
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
("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting  Comprehensive Income", 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 quarter ended March 31, 1999 and 1998:

                                                      1999            1998
                                                  ----------      ----------
     Net Income                                   $1,924,000      $1,661,000
     Unrealized holding gains (losses) arising
       during period (net of tax expense)           (635,000)         29,000
                                                  ----------      ----------
     Total comprehensive income                   $1,289,000      $1,690,000
                                                  ==========      ==========

     The FASB also  issued  SFAS 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. The
disclosure  requirements  of SFAS No.131 have been  adopted and are  included in
Note 6 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
     In February,  1998, SFAS No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pension and
Other Postretirement Benefits", was issued, amending FASB Statements No. 87, 88,
and 106.  This  Statement  does not change the  measurement  or  recognition  of
pension  and   postretirement   benefit   plans  but   standardizes   disclosure
requirements.  The new disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 132 have been adopted
and are included in the Consolidated  Financial  Statements in the Corporation's
1998 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
     In June,  1998,  the FASB issued SFAS No. 133,  "Accounting  for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities",  which establishes accounting and reporting
standards  requiring balance sheet recognition of all derivative  instruments at
fair value. The statement specifies that changes in the fair value of derivative
instruments be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting
criteria are met.  Special  accounting for qualifying  hedges allows  derivative
gains and  losses to  offset  related  results  on  hedged  items in the  income
statement.   Companies  must  formally   document,   designate  and  assess  the
effectiveness  of  transactions  utilizing  hedge  accounting.  The statement is
effective for fiscal years  beginning after June 15, 1999, and cannot be applied
retroactively.  Adoption  is not  expected  to  have a  material  impact  on the
Corporation.

6.  Segment and Related Information

     The  Corporation  adopted SFAS No. 131,  "Disclosures  About Segments of an
Enterprise  and  Related  Information",  in 1998.  Reportable  segments  include
community banking and trust and investment services.  Community banking involves
making loans to and generating  deposits from  individuals and businesses in the
markets where the Bank has offices.  All assets and  liabilities of the Bank are
allocated to community banking.  Investment income from fixed income investments
is a major source of income in addition to loan interest income. Service charges
from deposit accounts and non-deposit fees such as automatic teller machine fees
and insurance commissions generate additional income for community banking.
     Trust and  investment  services  includes  estate  and trust  planning  and
administration  and investment  management for various  entities.  The trust and
investment  services division of the Bank manages trusts,  estates and purchases
equity,  fixed income and mutual fund  investments  for customer  accounts.  The
trust  and  investment  services  division  receives  fees  for  investment  and
administrative  services. Fees are also received by this division for individual
retirement accounts managed for the community banking segment.
     The accounting  policies of the segments and the basis of segmentation  are
the same as those  described in the summary of significant  accounting  policies
set  forth  in  Note  1  to  the  Consolidated   Financial   Statements  in  the
Corporation's 1998 Annual Report on Form 10-K. All intersegment sales prices are
market based.
     Segment  information  for the three months  ended March 31, 1999,  1998 and
1997 is shown in the following table (in thousands). The "Other" column includes
corporate related items, results of insignificant  operations and, as it relates
to segment  profit  (loss),  income and  expense  not  allocated  to  reportable
segments.

                AMERICAN NATIONAL BANKSHARES INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

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


EARNINGS and CAPITAL
     The  Corporation's net income for the first quarter of 1999 was $1,924,000,
an increase of 15.8% over the  $1,661,0000  earned  during the first  quarter of
1998.  On a basic and diluted per share basis,  net income  totaled $.63 for the
quarter,  up 16.7% from $.54 in 1998. On an annualized basis,  return on average
total assets was 1.68% for the first  quarter of 1999  compared to 1.56% for the
first quarter of 1998. Return on average common  shareholders'  equity increased
5.5% to 13.90% in the first quarter of 1999 from 13.18% for the first quarter of
1998.
     The Corporation's growth in earnings resulted from three principal factors.
First,  net interest  income after  provision  improved  $223,000,  or 5.3% from
growth  in  interest-earning  assets in first  quarter  1999  compared  to first
quarter 1998 and from lower provision for loan losses.  Second, the 20.8% growth
in noninterest  income in the 1999 quarter over 1998  demonstrates the continued
success of the  Corporation's  expanded  trust and  investment  services and the
increase in fees from originating and selling fixed rate mortgage loans.  Third,
the Corporation has controlled noninterest expenses which have grown at a slower
3.4%  pace in the  first  quarter  of 1999  over the  first  quarter  of 1998 as
compared to growth in combined net interest income after provision and
noninterest income of 8.0%.

TRENDS and FUTURE EVENTS
     During the first quarter of 1999, net loans  increased  $8,691,000 or 3.3%.
The increase is the result of good loan demand and indicates the  continuance of
a healthy local economy. The increase in loans was funded by increased deposits,
FHLB borrowings and maturing  securities.  Total investment  securities declined
during the first quarter of 1999 by $8,825,000 or 5.4%. Total deposits increased
$4,903,000  or 1.4% during the first quarter of 1999 and  repurchase  agreements
decreased $11,573,000 or 37.3% during the same period. Repurchase agreements are
used by  commercial  accounts to earn  higher  rates on short term funds and are
volatile.
     During the first quarter of 1999, the Corporation declared a quarterly cash
dividend  of $.24  per  share.  This  dividend  was paid on  March  26,  1999 to
shareholders of record on March 12, 1999.
     On September 29, 1998 the Federal  Reserve Board  ("FRB")  decreased  short
term interest rates by cutting  federal funds by 1/4% and the major money center
banks  followed by lowering  the prime rate by 1/4%.  On October 15 and November
17, 1998 the Federal Reserve decreased short term rates again by cutting federal
funds and the discount  rate by 1/4%,  and major money center banks  followed by
lowering the prime rate by 1/4% on both occasions.  Short and intermediate  U.S.
Treasury  yields had already  preceded the Federal  Reserve actions by declining
from June 1998 to  October  1998 in  response  to the global  financial  crisis,
losses in hedge funds and low inflation. The Federal Reserve actions in lowering
interest  rates were  designed  to  stabilize  financial  markets  and to offset
perceived  deteriorating  economic  conditions  caused by the  global  financial
crisis.  U.S.  Treasury  yields have increased  since December 31, 1998, but the
Federal Reserve has not moved to increase federal funds or the discount rate.
     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 independent 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  computers and systems dependent

                                       10
<PAGE>
on computer chips will properly  recognize date sensitive  information  when the
year  changes to 2000.  Systems that do not  recognize  such  information  could
generate erroneous data or cause a system to fail.
     Technology hardware, software and other systems used by the Corporation are
provided by outside vendors rather than being developed in-house.  These outside
vendors  have been  proactive  in making  systems  Year 2000  ready,  in testing
systems for Year 2000 readiness,  in submitting  their efforts to regulators for
review,  and in supplying  testing  procedures  for the  Corporation  to conduct
independent testing.
     The  Corporation  is utilizing  both  internal  and  external  resources to
identify,  correct or reprogram, and test systems for Year 2000 compliance.  The
Corporation's readiness plan encompasses both information technology systems and
computer  chip embedded  functions,  such as elevators,  security  systems,  and
building heating and cooling.  A project team has installed  corrected  hardware
and software and tested systems for Year 2000 readiness.  Additional  testing of
new or updated  systems will be made during 1999. To date,  successful Year 2000
testing  has  been  completed  on 100%  of the  Corporation's  mission  critical
systems.
     An educational process has been implemented to assist and assure that major
customers  are  Year  2000  ready.  Approximately  95% of major  customers  have
responded  that they are Year 2000 ready or will be Year 2000 ready in 1999. The
project team will continue to monitor readiness of customers during 1999.
     Total Year 2000 project costs will be  approximately  $125,000 with $96,000
having been spent to date. The remaining expenditures are not expected to have a
material impact on the Corporation's results of operations, liquidity or capital
resources.
     The  Corporation  faces a number  of risks  related  to the Year  2000 date
change  including  legal risks,  project  management  risk,  financial  risk and
outside vendor risk.  Legal risk involves  failure to meet  contractual  service
agreements,  leading to possible  punitive actions.  Project  management risk is
failure to adequately  address Year 2000 planning and resource needs with missed
deadlines and improper  allocation of resources.  Financial risk relates to lost
revenue,  asset quality  deterioration or even business failure.  Outside vendor
risk  involves  failure  of  communication  systems,  power or  other  important
services which the Corporation  depends upon to operate.  A contingency plan has
been  established  to assure  readiness in the unlikely  event that any critical
operating  system fails prior to or after the Year 2000.  The  contingency  plan
specifies  actions to be taken by the Year 2000 project team in the event that a
critical system is not timely  corrected and tested before Year 2000. Since 100%
of mission critical systems have been successfully tested to date, pre Year 2000
contingency  plans are not expected to be activated.  The contingency  plan also
assigns  responsibility  for  checking  the proper  operation  of all systems on
January 1, 2000, adopts special liquidity  measures to be taken before and after
Year 2000, and describes implementation of manual processes for lending, deposit
operations, and trust services in the event that systems fail.  Responsibilities
and detail  procedures  have been  established  for training on manual  systems.
Rehearsal  sessions of manual system  implementation are scheduled later in 1999
to assure readiness.  The  Corporation's  operations  center,  branch office and
mortgage  banking  operation  located at Tower Drive are equipped  with a diesel
generator in the event that electric  power supplies fail prior to or after Year
2000. The backup power supply has been tested and will continue to be tested.

NET INTEREST INCOME
     Net  interest  income  on a fully  taxable  equivalent  ("FTE")  basis  was
$4,781,000  for the first quarter of 1999  compared to $4,564,000  for the first
quarter  of 1998,  an  increase  of 4.8%.  Net  interest  income  on a FTE basis
increased due to growth of $31,558,000 in average  interest-earning assets while
average  interest-bearing  liabilities  grew  only  $24,559,000.  Growth  in non
interest-bearing  deposits and  retained  income  resulted in greater  growth in
average interest-earning assets over interest-bearing liabilities.
     The interest rate spread decreased to 3.73% from 3.85% and the net yield on
earning  assets  decreased  to 4.41%  from  4.55% in the first  quarter  of 1999
compared to the first quarter of 1998,  respectively.  The decreased  spread and
yield were a product of lower  short term rates which  lowered  loan yields more
than deposit and interest-bearing liabilities yields.
     The following  table  demonstrates  fluctuations in net interest income and
the related yields for the first quarter of 1999 and 1998.

ASSET QUALITY
     Nonperforming  assets include loans on which interest is no longer accrued,
loans  classified as troubled debt  restructurings  and  foreclosed  properties.
Nonperforming  assets  increased to $790,000 at March 31, 1999 from  $575,000 at
December 31, 1998.
     Foreclosed  properties  of $385,000 at March  31,1999 and December 31, 1998
include two commercial real estate properties.
     Loans in a nonaccrual  status at March 31, 1999 were $405,000 compared with
$190,000 at December 31, 1998.  Loans on accrual  status and past due 90 or more
at March 31, 1999 were $246,000 compared with $249,000 at December 31, 1998.
     Total  nonperforming  loans  and  loans  past  due 90  days  or  more  as a
percentage of net loans were .2% at March 31, 1999 and .2% at December 31, 1998.
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
quarter as a percentage of average loans  increased to .03% in 1999 from .02% in
the 1998 quarter. These charge-off ratios are low by industry standards.
     During the first  quarter of 1999 the gross amount of interest  income that
would have been recorded on nonaccrual loans and restructured loans at March 31,
1999, if all such loans had been accruing  interest at the original  contractual
rate,  was $15,000.  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 $180,000 for the first  quarter of 1999
and $252,000 for the first quarter of 1998.  The reserve for loan losses totaled
$3,910,000 at March 31, 1999 an increase of 2.3% over the $3,821,000 recorded at
December 31, 1998. The ratio of reserves to loans, less unearned  discount,  was
1.40% at March 31, 1999 and 1.42% at December 31, 1998. In Management's opinion,
the current reserve for loan losses is adequate.

NON-INTEREST INCOME
     Non-interest  income  for the  first  quarter  of 1999 was  $1,082,000,  an
increase of 20.8% from the $896,000  reported in the first quarter of 1998.  The
major reasons for the 1999 first quarter  growth in  non-interest  income were a
20.2%  increase in trust and  investment  services to $624,000  due to growth in
managed  investment  accounts  and an increase  in  mortgage  income of 11.5% to
$116,000  due to  increased  origination  and  sale of  fixed  rate  residential
mortgage  loans.  Service  charges on deposit  fees were  $217,000 for the first
quarter of 1999, up 16.0% over the first quarter of 1998 while  non-deposit fees
and insurance  commissions  were up 22.4% to $71,000 due to increased  insurance
sales.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE
     Non-interest  expense for the first quarter of 1999 was $2,765,000,  a 3.4%
increase from the  $2,673,000  reported for the same period last year.  Salaries
increased  9.9%  from the same  period  last year to  $1,325,000  in 1999 due to
general pay increases, a new branch and increased incentive pay.

INCOME TAX PROVISION
     The income tax provision  for the first  quarter of 1999 was  $803,000,  an
increase of $54,000 from the $749,000 reported a year earlier. The effective tax
rate for the first  quarter  of 1999 was 29.4%  compared  to 31.1% for the first
quarter of 1998.  The decline in the effective tax rate resulted from  increased
tax exempt interest on state and municipal securities.

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

                                       13
<PAGE>
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, 1999 the  Corporation had a ratio of 16.70% for Tier I and a ratio of 17.95%
for total  capital.  At December  31, 1998 these  ratios were 16.79% and 18.04%,
respectively.
     A cash  dividend of $.24 per share was paid on  3,051,733  shares of common
stock  outstanding on March 26, 1999 to  shareholders  of record March 12, 1999.
This dividend totaled $732,000.

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.
     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 March 31,1999 were not materially
different from December 31, 1998.
     The Bank's net liquid  assets to net  liabilities  ratio was 22.4% at March
31, 1999 and 24.0% at December 31, 1998.  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.
