Item 1.  Business of Bankshares.
- --------------------------------

History and Business

   National Bankshares,  Inc. (Bankshares) is  a bank  holding company organized
under the  laws of  Virginia  in 1986  and registered  under  the Bank  Holding
Company Act (BHCA).  Bankshares conducts its operations through its sole wholly
owned subsidiary, The National  Bank of Blacksburg (NBB), which  was originally
chartered  in  1891.   NBB operates  a full-service  banking business  from its
headquarters in  Blacksburg, Virginia, and  its six area  branch offices.   NBB
offers  general   retail  and  commercial  banking   services  to  individuals,
businesses, local government units  and institutional customers. These products
and services include accepting deposits in the form of checking accounts, money
market  deposit accounts,  interest-bearing  demand  deposit accounts,  savings
accounts and time deposits; making real estate, commercial, revolving, consumer
and agricultural  loans; offering letters  of credit; providing  other consumer
financial  services,  such  as  automatic  funds  transfer,  collection,  night
depository, safe deposit,  money orders, travelers  checks, savings bond  sales
and  utility  payment  services;  and providing  other  miscellaneous  services
normally  offered  by commercial  banks.   NBB  also conducts  a  general trust
business  in  Blacksburg near  its headquarters  location.   Through  its trust
operation,  NBB offers  a variety  of fiduciary,  personal and  corporate trust
services.

   NBB  makes  loans  in  all  major  loan  categories,  including   commercial,
commercial and residential real estate, construction and consumer loans.

   Commercial Loans

   Loans are made  to businesses and individuals  for business purposes on  both
secured and unsecured bases.   NBB's loan policies normally  require commercial
loan requests to be accompanied by complete documentation of  income, by income
tax returns and by a full credit history.

   Unsecured commercial loans must be supported  by a satisfactory balance sheet
and  income  statement.   The  source  of  repayment  and applicable  secondary
repayment  sources are identified  in evaluating the  loan request  and must be
clear before the loan is closed.  Short-term unsecured loans are usually  for a
term of ninety-days or  less and are repayable  from a definite source.   Other
unsecured  commercial loans may  be placed on  a demand basis if  the source of
repayment is known but the timing is unknown.

   Commercial lines of credit  may be secured or unsecured.  They are  generally
granted with the  requirements of an annual review  and the further requirement
that  they be fully paid for a  continuous thirty-day period during the twelve-
month term of the line of credit.

   Business loans made  on a secured basis may be secured by a security interest
in marketable equipment, accounts receivable, business equipment and/or general
intangibles of the business.  In addition,  or in the alternative, the loan may
be secured by a deed of trust lien on business real estate.  Secured commercial
loans made for the purpose of  financing working capital needs or for equipment
typically carry terms  of from five to  seven years.   Deed of trust loans  may
extend  up to thirty years,  although twenty years or less  is a more preferred

                                      -4-<PAGE>


term.   Prior to committing  to make  any such loan,  the request  is evaluated
based on the cash flow of the business entity involved.  Commercial loans which
are secured  by real estate are controlled by a  specific NBB loan policy which
states that  the cash flow coverage  ratio from the  project should be  no less
than 1.1  to 1.0.  If  the ratio is not  achieved but the borrower  has a well-
documented secondary source  of repayment,  the loan may  still be  considered.
Regardless of the value of collateral or  the strength of any guarantors, it is
NBB's policy to require the business to exhibit sufficient cash flow to service
the debt.  Liquidation of collateral or the strength of a guarantor serves as a
secondary source of repayment.

   Commercial real estate loans in excess of $50,000 require a market  appraisal
from an independent  appraiser, unless  the requirement is  formally waived  by
NBB's  Board of  Directors  or its  internal  Loan Committee.   Other  standard
underwriting criteria include  property surveys, title search  and proper title
insurance and hazard insurance which insures NBB's interest in the real estate.
The loan to value ratio may vary, but it  generally does not exceed 80% without
approval by the internal Loan Committee.

   In some  instances,  when  small  business loans  do  not meet  NBB's  normal
underwriting criteria, NBB will  work with the borrower and  the Small Business
Administration  ("SBA") to obtain a  SBA guarantee of  all or a  portion of the
loan amount so that credit can be granted.

   The risks associated  with commercial  loans are related  to the strength  of
the individual business, the value of loan collateral and the general health of
the economy.

   Residential Real Estate Loans

   Loans which are secured  by residential real estate  generally are subject to
the same underwriting criteria as commercial  real estate loans.  However, if a
residential mortgage loan exceeds 80% of  the appraised value of the  property,
private  mortgage insurance is generally required.  The creditworthiness of the
borrower, his or her total outstanding indebtedness,  sources of income and the
value and marketability of the real estate are all factors which are evaluated.
Standard underwriting ratios of 28% mortgage debt to gross income and 36% total
debt  to  gross  income  are applied.    Senior  lending  officers may  approve
exceptions to  these ratios  if other  factors are  present.  Residential  real
estate loans may have a term of up to thirty years.

   NBB participates  in insured  loan programs  sponsored by  the Department  of
Housing and Urban  Development, the  Veterans Administration  and the  Virginia
Housing Development  Authority.    Each  of these  programs  contains  specific
requirements  and restrictions, in  addition to NBB's  general loan application
and underwriting requirements.

   It is NBB's policy  to attempt to sell all  residential real estate  loans in
the secondary market on a servicing released basis.  There are occasions when a
borrower or the real estate do not qualify under secondary market criteria, but
the  loan request  represents a  reasonable credit  risk.   Also, an  otherwise
qualified borrower  may not want  to have  their real estate  loan sold.   When
those  occasions arise, if the loans meet NBB's internal underwriting criteria,
the loan will be closed and placed in NBB's portfolio.

   Residential  real estate  loans carry  risks  associated with  the  continued
creditworthiness of the borrower and the value of the collateral.


                                      -5-<PAGE>


   Construction Loans

   Construction  loans  are  made  to  financially  responsible  individuals  or
businesses who have  contracted for construction of structures.   The loans are
secured by a  first lien on the real estate improvements.  NBB's loan policy is
that the loan to value ratio is  not to exceed 80% of the lower of  the cost or
appraisal  value.  In addition, a firm  commitment for permanent financing or a
satisfactory prequalification for a permanent loan must be in place.

   Construction loans are subject to the  same general underwriting criteria  as
commercial and residential  real estate loans.  All construction loans also are
made with the requirement that title insurance provides affirmative lien waiver
coverage.   Construction  draws are  made in  accordance with  NBB's inspection
schedule or, for larger  commercial projects, after architects's certification.
The normal loan term for residential projects is six to twelve months, and most
commercial projects do not exceed eighteen months.

   In addition to the risks associated with all real estate loans,  construction
loans  bear  the risks  that  the project  will  not be  finished  according to
schedule, the project will not be finished according to budget and the value of
the collateral  at any point in time  may be less than  the principal amount of
the loan.  In order to reduce risks associated with this type of loan, NBB does
not allow development costs, such as surveys and architect's fees, to be made a
part of the loan amount.  Loans for commercial office or multi-unit residential
properties (eight  units or more) will  not usually be considered  until 50% of
the space is pre-leased.  Finally, NBB deals only with experienced  contractors
who are known to NBB and who have sufficient financial strength to complete the
construction project.

   Consumer Loans

   NBB places emphasis on  loans to consumers.  A completed loan application,  a
credit report and, if the  principal amount is above $5,000, a  recent personal
financial statement  are required for each  loan.  Loan officers  also evaluate
the  character  of the  individual borrower.   In  considering a  consumer loan
request, NBB has  established the  criteria that the  borrower's total  monthly
debt payments, including the  loan for which  application is being made  should
not exceed 36% of gross monthly income or 50%  of net monthly income.  Although
exceptions may be approved  by senior lenders or  the internal Loan  Committee,
the  maximum term for different types of  loans include: vehicles - five years;
mobile homes - twelve years; second mortgage - fifteen years; equity line - ten
year and property improvement -five years.

   Loans  used to  purchase vehicles  or  other  specific personal  property and
loans  associated  with real  estate are  usually secured  with  a lien  on the
subject  vehicle  or property.    Consumer  loans may  also  be  granted on  an
unsecured basis,  if the customer's  income and  credit history  are deemed  to
support  the extension  of credit.    Most consumer  loans are  monthly payment
loans, although a single payment  loan may be made when there  is an identified
definite source of repayment.

   Negative  changes in  a customer's  financial  circumstances  due to  a large
number  of factors,  such  as illness  or  loss of  employment,  can place  the
repayment of a consumer loan at risk.  In addition, deterioration in collateral
value can add risk to consumer loans.




                                      -6-<PAGE>


   NBB  also originates a small  number of student  loans which  are sold to the
Student Loan Marketing Association  ("SLMA") when the individual student  is no
longer enrolled as a full-time student at a qualifying college or university.

   Apart  from selling residential  mortgage loans  in the  secondary market and
selling student  loans to  SLMA, NBB  will occasionally buy  or sell  all or  a
portion of a loan for various other reasons.  NBB will consider selling a loan,
or a participation in a loan, if: (i) the full amount of the loan  would exceed
NBB's  legal lending limit to  a single borrower;  (ii) the full  amount of the
loan,  when  combined with  a  borrower's previously  outstanding  loans, would
exceed  NBB's legal  lending limit  to a  single borrower;  (iii) the  Board of
Directors  or the internal Loan  Committee believes that  a particular borrower
has a sufficient level of debt at NBB; (iv) the borrower requests the sale; (v)
NBB's  loan to  deposit ratio  is close  to the  upper limit  set forth  by NBB
policy; and/or  (vi) the loan  may create  too great a  concentration of  NBB's
loans in one particular location or in one particular type of loan.

   NBB will  consider purchasing  a loan,  or a  participation in  a loan,  from
another financial institution if  the loan meets all applicable  credit quality
standards and  (i) the  loan to deposit  ratio is at  a level  where additional
loans would be desirable; and (ii) a common customer requests the purchase.

   The following  table sets forth,  for the three  fiscal years ended  December
31, 1995, 1994 and  1993 the percentage of total operating  revenue contributed
by each  class of  similar  services which  contributed 15%  or  more of  total
operating revenues of NBB during such periods.

   December 31, 1995  Interest and Fees on Loans              66.3%
                      Interest on Securities                  22.4%

   December 31, 1994  Interest and Fees on Loans              63.1%
                      Interest on Securities                  26.0%


   December 31, 1993  Interest and Fees on Loans              64.3%
                      Interest on Securities                  25.3%

   Bankshares believes that  there is no single  loan account, group of  related
loan accounts,  single deposit account,  or group of related  deposit accounts,
the withdrawal of which would have a material adverse effect on NBB's business.
On December 31, 1995, Bankshares had total consolidated assets of approximately
$203 million and trust assets with  a market value of approximately $64 million
under  management  or  administration.     As  of  that  date,  Bankshares  had
approximately  $123  million  in  consolidated net  loans,  approximately  $180
million in  consolidated deposits and approximately $23 million in consolidated
stockholders' equity.

   Bankshares management  will consider strategic  acquisition opportunities  in
businesses   which  complement   or  expand  Bankshares'   current  operations.
Bankshares  currently  has  no  specific  acquisition  plans,  other  than  the
affiliation  with the  Bank  of Tazewell  County  (BTC), and  there  can be  no
assurance  that  any acquisitions  will  be  made or  what  the  terms of  such
acquisitions, if any, may be.

Market Area

   NBB's  primary service area  consists of  the northern  portion of Montgomery
County  and all of  Giles County, Virginia.   This  area includes the  towns of
Blacksburg  and Christiansburg in Montgomery County and the towns of Pearisburg
and Pembroke in  Giles County.   The local economy  is diverse and  is oriented
toward  higher   education,  retail   and  service,  light   manufacturing  and
agriculture.   For  the years  1995,  1994 and  1993 the  unemployment rate  in
Montgomery  County was  3.0%, 3.20% and  4.85%, respectively,  and the  rate in
Giles County during those years was 8.40%, 7.40% and 10.41%,  respectively.  In
1995,  the rate  for Montgomery  County dropped  to 3.0%  and the  Giles County
unemployment rate increased to  8.4%.  Montgomery County's largest  employer is
Virginia Polytechnic Institute  and State  University ("VPI &  SU") located  in
Blacksburg.  VPI &  SU is the  Commonwealth's land grant  college and also  its
largest university.  Employment  at VPI & SU has remained  stable over the past
three years, and it is not expected to change materially in the next few years.
A  second state  supported university,  Radford University,  is located  on the
western  edge of  the Bankshares'  service area.   It  too has  provided stable
employment opportunities in the region.

   One of the  area's major employers,  the Radford  Army Ammunition Plant  (the
"RAAP"),  has experienced  significant  layoffs  since  the early  1990s,  with
employment there dropping from  a high of approximately 3,800  to approximately
1,200  employees.   These  layoffs  have  had no  significant  impact  on NBI's
business,  although  they  did   contribute  to  the  area's   relatively  high
unemployment rate in the early 1990s.  It is possible that employment levels at
the RAAP  will continue to decline, but the local area has already absorbed the
major impact of layoffs at that facility.  Giles County's primary employer is a
Hoechst-Celanese plant,  which manufactures  the material from  which cigarette
filters are  made.  Employment at that location has remained steady or declined
slightly in  the past three years.   Several other small manufacturing concerns
are  located  in Montgomery  and Giles  Counties.   These  concerns manufacture
diverse products and are not dependent upon one sector of the economy.

   Since 1988,  Montgomery County has developed  into a  regional retail center,
with the construction of two large shopping areas.  Two area hospitals, each of
which are affiliated with different large health care systems, have in the past
several years constructed additional facilities and attracted additional health
care providers to Montgomery County,  making it a center for basic  health care
services.  VPI & SU's Corporate Research Center has brought  several small high
tech companies to Blacksburg, and further expansion is planned.

   Montgomery  County has experienced  good growth,  with the  total fair market
value of real estate, measured in constant dollars, increasing 49% in the years
between  1980 and 1992.  Growth is predicted to continue through the year 2000;
however,  the rate may be somewhat slower,  as the predicted rate of population
growth in Montgomery County is expected to moderate.   Neighboring Giles County
is more rural and had only 22% of Montgomery County's total population in 1990.
Giles County  has experienced  a slight  decline in population  since the  1990
census.   Total fair  market value  of real estate,  measured in  real dollars,
increased in Giles County by 54% between 1980 and 1992, but declined by 9% over
that twelve-year period, as measured  in constant dollars.  The continued  slow
decline of Giles County's population is predicted to continue through  the year
2000.  However, since  the total population of the County  reported in the 1990
census was only 16,366, and the population projected by the Virginia Employment
Commission  for Giles in the year 2000  is 16,121, the predicted decline of 245
individuals  is not expected to materially impact Bankshares' business in Giles
County.

   Bankshares' primary service area  offers the advantages of a good quality  of
life, scenic beauty, moderate climate and the cultural attractions of two major
universities.  The region has marketed itself as a  retirement destination, and
it  has  had some  recent success  attracting  retirees, particularly  from the
Northeast and urban Northern Virginia.  These marketing efforts are expected to
continue.

Competition

   The  commercial banking  industry  is  extremely  competitive.    Many  other
commercial banks are  headquartered or have offices in NBB's service area, some
of which do  business at  several locations.   Regional financial  institutions
that headquarter elsewhere compete in NBB's service area and have substantially
greater resources  than NBB.   Although NBB's  main competition  is from  other
commercial  banks, there is also competition from credit unions, savings banks,
savings  and  loan  institutions,  consumer finance  companies  and  commercial
finance and leasing companies doing business in the service area.

   The principal  methods  of competition  in  the  banking industry  are  rates
offered on  loans and deposits,  service and convenience  of location.   NBB is
generally  competitive with other  financial institutions  in its  service area
with respect  to interest  rates paid  on time  and  savings deposits,  service
charges on  deposit accounts and interest  rates charged on loans.   Management
believes that NBB is  able to compete successfully in this  environment because
of its service-based  business philosophy, well  trained and customer  oriented
staff, and the convenience of its office locations.

   The business of NBB and  its competition with other banks and other types  of
financial  institutions  will  continue  to  be  affected  by  legislative  and
regulatory developments.  Virginia's "opt in" to the  Interstate Act will allow
financial  institutions with much greater resources than those in NBB's service
area to establish business operations that will compete directly with NBB.

Registrant's Organization and Employment

   Bankshares  and  NBB  are  organized  in  a  holding  company/subsidiary bank
structure.  Bankshares  has no  employees, except for  executive officers,  and
conducts substantially all  of its  operations through NBB.   All  compensation
paid  to officers  and  employees is  paid  by NBB,  except  for  fees paid  by
Bankshares to  President and  Chief Executive  Officer James  G. Rakes  for his
service as a director of the Company.  

   At December 31, 1995  NBB employed 98  full time equivalent employees at  its
main office, operations center and branch offices.

Regulation and Supervision

   Bankshares and NBB are subject to various state  and federal banking laws and
regulations which  impose specific requirements or restrictions  on and provide
for  general  regulatory oversight  with respect  to  virtually all  aspects of
operations.   As a  result of  the substantial  regulatory burdens  on banking,
financial institutions, including Bankshares and NBB are disadvantaged relative
to other  competitors who are not as highly regulated, and their costs of doing
business are  much higher.   The following is a  brief summary of  the material
provisions  of certain statutes, rules  and regulations which affect Bankshares
and NBB.    This summary  is  qualified in  its entirety  by  reference to  the
particular statutory and  regulatory provisions  referred to below  and is  not
intended  to be an exhaustive description  of the statutes or regulations which

                                      -9-<PAGE>


are  applicable  to the  businesses  of  Bankshares and  NBB.    Any change  in
applicable  laws  or regulations  may  have a  material adverse  effect  on the
business and prospects of Bankshares and NBB.

Bankshares

   Bankshares is  a bank  holding company  within the  meaning of  the BHCA  and
Chapter 13  of  the Virginia  Banking Act,  as amended  (the "Virginia  Banking
Act").  The  activities of Bankshares  also are governed by  the Glass-Steagall
Act of 1933 (the "Glass-Steagall Act").

   The BHCA.   The  BHCA  is administered  by  the  Federal Reserve  Board,  and
Bankshares is required to file with the Federal Reserve Board  an annual report
and  such additional  information  as the  Federal  Reserve Board  may  require
pursuant to the BHCA.  The Federal  Reserve Board also is authorized to examine
Bankshares and  its subsidiaries.  The BHCA requires every bank holding company
to obtain the prior approval of the Federal Reserve  Board before (i) it or any
of its subsidiaries  (other than a bank) acquires substantially  all the assets
of any bank;  (ii) it acquires ownership or control of any voting shares of any
bank if after such acquisition it would own or control, directly or indirectly,
more  than  5% of  the  voting shares  of  such  bank; or  (iii)  it merges  or
consolidates with any other bank holding company.

   The  BHCA  and the  Change in  Bank  Control Act,  together with  regulations
promulgated  by the  Federal  Reserve Board,  require  that, depending  on  the
particular  circumstances,  either  Federal  Reserve  Board  approval  must  be
obtained  or notice  must be  furnished to  the Federal  Reserve Board  and not
disapproved  prior  to any  person or  company  acquiring "control"  of  a bank
holding  company, such as Bankshares, subject to certain exemptions for certain
transactions.   Control is  conclusively presumed to exist  if an individual or
company  acquires 25% or more of any  class of voting securities of Bankshares.
Control is rebuttably presumed  to exist if a person acquires 10%  or more, but
less  than  25%, of  any  class  of  voting  securities  of  Bankshares.    The
regulations  provide  a  procedure   for  challenging  the  rebuttable  control
presumption.

   Under the BHCA, a bank  holding company is generally prohibited from engaging
in, or  acquiring direct  or indirect  control of  more than  5% of the  voting
shares of any  company engaged  in, nonbanking activities,  unless the  Federal
Reserve  Board, by  order or regulation,  has found  those activities  to be so
closely related to banking  or managing or controlling banks as  to be a proper
incident thereto.   Some of the  activities that the Federal  Reserve Board has
determined  by regulation  to be  proper incidents  to the  business of  a bank
holding company include  making or servicing loans and certain types of leases,
engaging  in certain  insurance and  discount brokerage  activities, performing
certain  data  processing  services,  acting  in  certain  circumstances  as  a
fiduciary or investment  or financial adviser, owning  savings associations and
making  investments in certain  corporations or projects  designed primarily to
promote community welfare.

   The Federal Reserve Board imposes certain capital requirements on  Bankshares
under  the BHCA,  including a  minimum leverage  ratio and  a minimum  ratio of
"qualifying" capital to risk-weighted assets.  These requirements are described
below  under "-Capital Requirement."   Subject to its  capital requirements and
certain  other  restrictions, Bankshares  can borrow  money  to make  a capital
contribution  to NBB and such loans may  be repaid from dividends paid from NBB
to  Bankshares (although  the ability  of NBB  to pay  dividends is  subject to
regulatory  restrictions as  described below in  "-NBB-Limits on  Dividends and

                                      -10-<PAGE>


Other Payments").   Bankshares  can raise  capital for  contribution to  NBB by
issuing securities  without having to  receive regulatory approval,  subject to
compliance with federal and state securities laws.

   The Virginia Banking Act.  All Virginia  bank holding companies must register
with the Virginia Commission under the Virginia Banking Act.  A registered bank
holding  company  must provide  the Virginia  Commission with  information with
respect  to the  financial condition,  operations, management  and intercompany
relationships  of the  holding  company and  its  subsidiaries.   The  Virginia
Commission  also may  require such  other information as  is necessary  to keep
itself   informed  about  whether  the  provisions  of  Virginia  law  and  the
regulations and orders issued  thereunder by the Virginia Commission  have been
complied with,  and may make examinations  of any bank holding  company and its
subsidiaries.

   In March 1994, the Virginia General Assembly  adopted an amendment to Chapter
15  of the Virginia Banking Act to  allow bank holding companies located in any
state to acquire a Virginia bank  or bank holding company if the  Virginia bank
or bank holding company could acquire a bank holding company in their state and
the Virginia bank or bank holding company  to be acquired has been in existence
and continuously operated for more  than two years.  This amendment  may permit
bank holding companies  from throughout the United States to enter the Virginia
market, subject to federal and state approval.

   Glass-Steagall Act.   Bankshares also is restricted  in its activities by the
provisions of  the Glass-Steagall Act,  which prohibit  Bankshares from  owning
subsidiaries   that  are   engaged   principally  in   the  issue,   flotation,
underwriting,  public sale or distribution  of securities.  The interpretation,
scope and application of the provisions of the Glass-Steagall Act currently are
being  considered  and  reviewed  by   regulators  and  legislators,  and   the
interpretation  and application of those provisions have been challenged in the
federal courts.  NBI does not presently engage in securities-related activities
in any material respect.

NBB

   General.  NBB, Bankshares' sole operating  subsidiary, is a national  banking
association incorporated under the laws of  the United States and is subject to
examination  by the  Office of  the Comptroller  of the  currency  (the "OCC").
Deposits  in NBB  are insured  by the  FDIC up to  a maximum  amount (generally
$100,000 per  depositor, subject to aggregation  rules).  The OCC  and the FDIC
regulate or monitor all  areas of NBB's operations, including  security devices
and  procedures,   adequacy  of   capitalization  and  loss   reserves,  loans,
investments, borrowings, deposits, mergers, issuances of securities, payment of
dividends,   interest  rates  payable  on  deposits,  interest  rates  or  fees
chargeable on  loans, establishment of branches,  corporate reorganizations and
maintenance of  books and records.   The OCC  requires NBB to  maintain certain
capital  ratios.  NBB is  required by the  OCC to prepare  quarterly reports on
NBB's  financial condition  and to  conduct an  annual  audit of  its financial
affairs in compliance with  minimum standards and procedures prescribed  by the
OCC.  NBB also is  required by the OCC to adopt internal control structures and
procedures in order to safeguard  assets and monitor and reduce risk  exposure.
While  appropriate for safety and soundness of banks, these requirements impact
banking overhead costs.





                                      -11-<PAGE>


   Community  Reinvestment  Act.   NBB  is  subject to  the  provisions  of  the
Community  Reinvestment Act of 1977 (the "CRA"), which requires the appropriate
federal bank regulatory agency, in connection with its regular examination of a
bank, to assess the  bank's record in meeting the credit needs of the community
served  by  the bank,  including low  and  moderate-income neighborhoods.   The
banking regulators recently have  substantially overhauled the implementing CRA
regulations.   Under the new regulations,  banks will have the  option of being
assessed for CRA compliance under one of several methods.  Small  banks will be
evaluated differently than larger banks and technically are not subject to some
data  collection requirements.   The  focus of  the new  regulations is  on the
volume and distribution  of a bank's loans, with particular emphasis on lending
activity  in low  and  moderate-income areas  and  to low  and  moderate-income
persons.    The new  regulations  place added  importance on  a  bank's product
delivery system,  particularly branch  localities.   The  new regulations  will
require banks, other than  small banks, to comply with  significantly increased
data collection requirements.  The regulatory agency's assessment of the bank's
record is made  available to the public.  Further,  such assessment is required
for any bank which has applied  to, among other things, establish a  new branch
office  that will  accept  deposits, relocate  an  existing office,  or  merge,
consolidate with or acquire the assets or assume the liabilities of a federally
regulated  financial institution.  It is likely that banks' compliance with the
CRA,  as  well as  other  so-called  fair lending  laws,  will face  heightened
government scrutiny  and that costs  associated with compliance  will increase.
At its last examination, NBB received the highest CRA rating that can be given.

   National banks, like  NBB, are required by the National Bank Act to adhere to
branch banking laws applicable to  state banks in the states in which  they are
located.  Under current  Virginia law, NBB may  open branch offices  throughout
Virginia with the prior approval of the OCC.  In addition, with  prior approval
of  one or more of the Federal  Reserve Board, the Virginia Commission, the OCC
and the FDIC, Bankshares will be able to acquire existing banking operations in
Virginia.  Bankshares currently  has no plans or agreements  whereby Bankshares
would acquire other banks or thrifts other than the Bank of Tazewell County.

   On September  29, 1994,  President Clinton  signed into  law the  Riegle-Neal
Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 (the "Interstate Act").
The  Interstate Act,  which became  effective September  29, 1995,  allows bank
holding companies to  acquire banks in any state, without  regard to state law,
except  that if the state  has a minimum  requirement for the amount  of time a
bank must  be in existence,  that law  must be preserved.   Under  the Virginia
Banking Act,  a Virginia bank  or all of  the subsidiaries of  Virginia holding
companies sought to be acquired must have been in continuous operation for more
than two years  before the date  of such proposed  acquisition.  See  "-NBI-The
Virginia Banking  Act."   The Interstate Act  permits banks to  acquire out-of-
state branches through interstate mergers, beginning  June 1, 1997.  States can
opt-in to interstate  branching earlier, or  opt-out before June  1, 1997.   De
novo branching, where an out-of-state bank holding company sets up a new branch
in another state, would require a state's specific approval.  An acquisition or
merger  would not be permitted under the  Interstate Act if the bank, including
its insured depository  affiliates, would  control more than  10% of the  total
amount of deposits of insured depository  institutions in the United States, or
would control 30% or more of the total amount of deposits of insured depository
institutions in any state.

   Virginia has, by statute, elected to  "opt-in" fully to interstate  branching
under the Interstate Act, effective July  1, 1995.  Under the Virginia statute,
Virginia  state  banks  may, with  the  approval  of  the Virginia  Commission,
establish  and maintain a de  novo branch or acquire one  or more branches in a

                                      -12-<PAGE>


state  other  than  Virginia,  either  separately  or  as  part  of  a  merger.
Procedures  also  are established  to  allow  out-of-state domiciled  banks  to
establish or  acquire branches in  Virginia, provided the  "home" state  of the
bank  permits  Virginia  banks to  establish  or  acquire  branches within  its
borders.  The  activities of such branches would be subject to the same laws as
Virginia  domiciled banks, unless such activities are  prohibited by the law of
the state where the bank is organized.   The Virginia Commission would have the
authority to examine and supervise out-of-state state banks  to ensure that the
branch is operating in a  safe and sound manner and in compliance with the laws
of  Virginia.    The  Virginia  statute  authorizes  the  Bureau  of  Financial
Institutions  to enter into cooperative agreements with other state and federal
regulators for the examination and supervision of out-of-state state banks with
Virginia  operations,  or Virginia  domiciled  banks with  operations  in other
states.   Likewise, national banks,  with the approval  of the OCC,  may branch
into  and out of the state of Virginia.  Any Virginia branch of an out-of-state
national bank is subject to Virginia law (enforced by the OCC) with  respect to
intrastate   branching,  consumer  protection,   fair  lending   and  community
reinvestment  as if it  were a branch  of a Virginia bank,  unless preempted by
federal law.

   The Interstate  Act will permit banks  and bank  holding companies throughout
the United States to enter Virginia markets through the acquisition of Virginia
institutions and  will make it easier  for Virginia bank holding  companies and
Virginia  state and  national banks  to acquire  institutions and  to establish
branches in  other states.    Competition in  market areas  served  by NBB  may
increase as a result of the  Interstate Act and the Virginia interstate banking
statutes.

   Deposit  Insurance.  NBB  is subject  to FDIC  deposit insurance assessments.
See "--Legislative Developments--Deposit Insurance."

   Government Policies.  The  operations of NBB is affected not only by  general
economic  conditions,   but  also  by   the  policies  of   various  regulatory
authorities.   In  particular, the  Federal Reserve  Board regulates  money and
credit  and interest rates in  order to influence  general economic conditions.
These  policies have a significant influence on overall growth and distribution
of loans, investments  and deposits and affect interest  rates charged on loans
or paid for time and savings deposits.  Federal Reserve Board monetary policies
have had a significant effect  on the operating results of commercial  banks in
the past and are expected to continue to do so in the future.

   Limits on  Dividends and Other  Payments.   As a national bank,  NBB, may not
pay  dividends from its capital; all dividends  must be paid out of net profits
then on hand, after deducting expenses, losses, bad debts, accrued dividends on
preferred stock, if any, and taxes.  In addition, a national bank is prohibited
from  declaring a  dividend on  its shares  of common  stock until  its surplus
equals its stated capital, unless there has been transferred to surplus no less
than one-tenth of the bank's  net profits of (i) the preceding  two consecutive
half-year periods (in  the case of  an annual dividend)  or (ii) the  preceding
half-year period  (in the case  of a quarterly  or semi-annual dividend).   The
approval of the OCC  is required if  the total of all  dividends declared by  a
national bank  in any calendar  year exceeds the  total of its net  profits for
that year combined  with its retained net profits for  the preceding two years,
less any required transfers to  surplus or to fund the retirement  of preferred
stock.   At December 31, 1995 retained  net profits available for NBB dividends
were approximately $4,256,000.



                                      -13-<PAGE>


   The  OCC has promulgated  regulations that  became effective  on December 13,
1990, which significantly affect  the level of allowable dividend  payments for
national  banks.   The effect  is to  make the  calculation of  national banks'
dividend-paying   capacity  consistent   with  generally   accepted  accounting
principles.  The allowance for loan and lease losses  will not be considered an
element of "undivided profits then on hand" and provisions to the allowance are
treated as  expenses and therefore not  part of "net profits."   Accordingly, a
national bank  with an allowance greater  than its statutory bad  debts may not
include  the excess  in calculating  undivided  profits for  dividend purposes.
Further,  a national bank  may be able to  use a portion  of its earned capital
surplus  account  as  "undivided  profits  then  on  hand,"  depending  on  the
composition of that account.

   The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement  Act of 1991 ("FDICIA")
provides  that  no   insured  depository  institution  may   make  any  capital
distribution  (which  would  include a  cash  dividend)  if,  after making  the
distribution, the  institution would  not satisfy  one or  more of its  minimum
capital requirements.  See "--Capital Requirements" below.

   Capital  Requirements.   The Federal  Reserve  Board has  adopted  risk-based
capital guidelines  in final  form which  are  applicable to  Bankshares.   The
Federal Reserve Board guidelines redefine the components of capital, categorize
assets  into different risk classes and include certain off-balance sheet items
in the calculation  of risk-weighted assets.   The  minimum ratio of  qualified
total  capital to  risk-weighted  assets (including  certain off-balance  sheet
items, such as standby letters of credit) is 8.0%.  At least half of  the total
capital must be  comprised of Tier 1  capital.  The remainder may  consist of a
limited  amount  of subordinated  debt,  other preferred  stock,  certain other
instruments  and a limited amount of loan and lease loss reserves.  The OCC has
adopted similar regulations applicable to NBB.  The Tier 1 and total risk-based
capital ratios  of Bankshares as of  December 31, 1995 were  15.01% and 16.27%,
respectively.  NBB's Tier 1 and  total risk-based capital ratios as of December
31, 1995 were 14.96% and 16.21%, respectively.

   In addition,  the  Federal  Reserve Board  has established  minimum  leverage
ratio (Tier  1 capital to  total assets less  intangibles) guidelines  that are
applicable to Bankshares.   The OCC has adopted similar  regulations applicable
to NBB.  These guidelines  provide for a minimum  ratio of 3.0% for banks  that
meet  certain  specified  criteria,  including  that  they   have  the  highest
regulatory rating.   All other banks  will be required  to maintain a  leverage
ratio  of 4.0% or  greater, based upon their  particular circumstances and risk
profiles.   Bankshares' and NBB's leverage ratios, as of December 31, 1995 were
10.31%  and 10.27%,  respectively.   The  guidelines  also provide  that  banks
experiencing  internal  growth  or  making  acquisitions  will  be expected  to
maintain strong  capital positions substantially above  the minimum supervisory
levels, without significant reliance on intangible assets.

   Bank regulators from time  to time have indicated  a desire to  raise capital
requirements  applicable to  banking organizations beyond  current levels.   In
addition,  the number  of risks  which may  be included  in  risk-based capital
restrictions, as well as the  measurement of these risks, is likely  to change,
resulting in increased capital requirements for banks.   Bankshares and NBB are
unable to predict whether higher capital ratios would be imposed and, if so, at
what levels and on what schedule.





                                      -14-<PAGE>


Legislative Developments

   The  difficulties  encountered  nationwide by  financial  institutions during
1990  and  1991 prompted  federal legislation  designed  to reform  the banking
industry  and to  promote the  viability  of the  industry and  of the  deposit
insurance  system.    FDICIA, which  became  effective  on  December 19,  1991,
bolsters the deposit  insurance fund,  tightens bank regulation  and trims  the
scope of federal deposit insurance as summarized below.

   FDIC Funding.  The legislation bolsters  the bank deposit insurance fund with
$70 billion in borrowing authority and increases to $30 billion from $5 billion
the amount the FDIC can borrow from the U.S. Treasury to cover the cost of bank
failures.  The loans, plus interest, would be repaid by premiums that banks pay
on domestic deposits over the next fifteen years.

   Prompt Corrective  Action.  Among other  things, FDICIA  requires the federal
banking agencies to take "prompt corrective action" in respect of banks that do
not  meet minimum capital requirements.  FDICIA establishes five capital tiers:
"well     capitalized,"    "adequately     capitalized,"    "undercapitalized,"
"significantly  undercapitalized"  and   "critically  undercapitalized."    The
following table  sets forth the minimum capital ratios that a bank must satisfy
in  order to  be considered  well capitalized  or adequately  capitalized under
Federal Reserve Board regulations.

                                             Adequately           Well
                                            Capitalized       Capitalized
                                            -----------       -----------
   Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio               4%                6%
   Total Risk-Based Ratio                        8%               10%
   Leverage Ratio                                4%                5%


   If a  bank does not meet  all of  the minimum capital ratios  necessary to be
considered  adequately capitalized,  it  will be  considered  undercapitalized,
significantly undercapitalized or critically undercapitalized, depending on the
amount of the shortfall in its capital.

   If a depository  institution's principal federal regulator determines that an
otherwise adequately  capitalized  institution  is  in  an  unsafe  or  unsound
condition or  is engaging in an unsafe or unsound  practice, it may require the
institution to submit a corrective  action plan, restrict its asset  growth and
prohibit   branching,  new  acquisitions  and  new   lines  of  business.    An
institution's  principal federal  regulator  may  deem  the institution  to  be
engaging  in  an  unsafe  or  unsound  practice if  it  receives  a  less  than
satisfactory rating for asset quality, management, earnings or liquidity in its
most recent examination.

   Among  other possible  sanctions, an  undercapitalized depository institution
may not  pay dividends and is required to  submit a capital restoration plan to
its  principal federal  regulator.   In  addition, its  holding company  may be
required  to  guarantee  compliance  with the  capital  restoration  plan under
certain circumstances.  If an undercapitalized depository institution fails  to
submit  or implement an acceptable capital restoration  plan, it can be subject
to more severe sanctions, including an order to sell sufficient voting stock to
become adequately capitalized.   More severe sanctions and remedial actions can
be mandated by the regulators if an institution is considered  significantly or
critically undercapitalized.

                                      -15-<PAGE>


   In addition,  FDICIA requires regulators  to draft a  new set of  non-capital
measures  of bank  safety,  such as  loan  underwriting standards  and  minimum
earnings  levels.  The legislation  also requires regulators  to perform annual
on-site bank examinations, places  limits on real  estate lending by banks  and
tightens auditing requirements.   In April 1995, the regulators  adopted safety
and  soundness standards  as required  by FDICIA  in the  following  areas: (i)
operational and managerial;  (ii) asset quality  earnings and stock  valuation;
and (iii) employee compensation.

   Deposit Insurance.   FDICIA reduces the  scope of  federal deposit insurance.
The most significant  change ended the "too big to  fail" doctrine, under which
the government protects all  deposits in most banks, including  those exceeding
the  $100,000 insurance  limit.   The  FDIC's  ability to  reimburse  uninsured
deposits--those over  $100,000 and foreign deposits--has  been sharply limited.
Since  December   1993,  the  Federal   Reserve  Board's  ability   to  finance
undercapitalized  banks with extended loans  from its discount  window has been
restricted.  In addition, only the best capitalized banks will be able to offer
insured brokered  deposits  without  FDIC  permission  or  to  insure  accounts
established under employee pension plans.

   The FDIC establishes rates for the  payment of premiums by  federally insured
banks  for deposit insurance.  A Bank  Insurance Fund (the "BIF") is maintained
for commercial banks, with insurance premiums  from the industry used to offset
losses from insurance  payouts when  banks fail.   Beginning  in 1993,  insured
depository institutions like NBB  pay for deposit insurance under  a risk-based
premium system.   Under this system,  a depository institution pays  to the BIF
from $.23  to $.31 per $100 of insured deposits depending on its capital levels
and risk profile,  as determined by  its primary federal  regulator on a  semi-
annual basis.  The FDIC, effective September 15, 1995, lowered assessments from
their  current rates of $.23  to $.31 per $100 of  insured deposits to rates of
$.04 to  $.31,  depending on  the  health  of the  bank,  as a  result  of  the
recapitalization of the BIF.  The FDIC has voted to drop its premiums  for well
capitalized  banks  to $2,000  per year  effective January  1,  1996.   NBB has
qualified for the minimum annual premium rate of $2,000 in 1996.

   Congress  also  is  expected  to act  soon  on provisions  to  strengthen the
Savings  Association Insurance Fund (the "SAIF") and to repay outstanding bonds
that were issued  to recapitalize the SAIF's successor as  a result of payments
made due to the insolvency of savings and loan associations and other federally
insured savings  institutions in the late  1980's and early 1990's.   Costs for
these measures could be passed along, in part, to the banking industry.

   Many of  the provisions  of FDICIA  did not  become effective  until December
1993.   In addition,  many of  the provisions will  be implemented  through the
adoption of regulations  by the various federal banking agencies.   The precise
effect  of the  legislation on Bankshares  and NBB  cannot be  assessed at this
time, and there  can be no assurance that such  regulations will not materially
affect operating results, financial condition or liquidity of Bankshares and/or
NBB.

   Other legislative and  regulatory proposals regarding changes in banking  and
the regulation of  banks, thrifts  and other financial  institutions are  being
considered  by the  executive branch  of the  federal government,  Congress and
various  state governments, including Virginia.  Certain of these proposals, if
adopted, could significantly change  the regulation of banks and  the financial
services industry.  It cannot be  predicted whether any of these proposals will
be adopted or,  if adopted, how these  proposals will affect Bankshares  and/or
NBB.

Other Business Concerns

   The   banking  industry   is   particularly  sensitive   to   interest   rate
fluctuations, as  the spread between the  rates which must be  paid on deposits
and those which may be  charged on loans is  an important component of  profit.
In addition, the interest which can be  earned on a bank's invested funds has a
significant  effect on  profits.   Rising interest  rates typically  reduce the
demand  for new loans,  particularly the  real estate  loans which  represent a
significant  portion  of NBB's  loan  demand.   Variable  rate  loans in  NBB's
portfolio are also affected  by increased interest rates in  that borrowers may
not  have  sufficient income  to support  the  increased debt  service payments
required.  Approximately 62% of  NBB's loan portfolio as of December  31, 1995,
consisted of  commercial real  estate,  real estate  mortgage and  construction
loans.  A significant contraction in the local real estate market could have an
adverse effect on NBB's loan generation ability and its earnings.

   The banking industry  is also impacted  by general economic  conditions.   In
times of  recession or  economic contraction,  borrowers may  be more  prone to
default  on loan obligations, and demand for  new loans may be reduced, thereby
reducing  or  eliminating a  bank's profits.    Bankshares' market  area relies
heavily on  three  major employers,  Virginia Polytechnic  Institute and  State
University,  the Radford  Army  Ammunition  Plant,  located in  Montgomery  and
Pulaski  Counties,  Virginia,  and   the  Hoescht-Celanese  Plant,  located  in
neighboring  Giles  County, Virginia.    Large  workforce reductions  by  these
employers, without a corresponding  increase in jobs by other  employers, could
create  economic hardship  in Bankshares'  trading market  and could  result in
reduced  corporate  profits.    Over the  past  several  years,  the impact  of
reductions  in  the workforce  at the  Radford  Army Ammunition  Plant  and the
Hoescht-Celanese  Plant  and  limited   duration  hiring  freezes  at  Virginia
Polytechnic  Institute and State  University has been  offset by  job growth in
other sections, particularly  in retail and  service jobs.   Future changes  in
employment patterns  are not  expected to  have  a material  adverse effect  on
Bankshares' financial position.

   Bankshares'  business is dependent upon the business of NBB, its wholly owned
subsidiary.   Therefore, all risks attendant to NBB and the banking business in
general will directly affect  Bankshares.  Other  than NBB, Bankshares owns  no
material  assets  and  does  not  separately  conduct  material  operations  or
business.

C.      ANALYSIS OF CHANGES IN INTEREST INCOME AND INTEREST EXPENSE

        Bankshares' primary source of revenue  is net income, which  is the difference between  the interest
        and fees  earned on  loans  and investments  and the  interest  paid on  deposits  and other  funds.
        Bankshares'  net interest income  is affected by changes  in the amount and  mix of interest-earning
        assets and interest-bearing liabilities  and by changes in yields earned on  interest-earning assets
        and rates paid  on interest-bearing liabilities.   The  following table  sets forth,  for the  years
        indicated, a summary  of the changes in interest income and interest  expense resulting from changes
        in average asset and liability balances (volume) and changes in average interest rates (rate).

Analysis of Interest Rate Sensitivity

   The table below  sets forth, as  of December  31, 1995,  the distribution  of
repricing opportunities  of Bankshares'  interest-earning assets  and interest-
bearing  liabilities, the  interest rate  sensitivity gap (i.e.,  interest rate
sensitive  assets less  interest  rate sensitive  liabilities), the  cumulative
interest  rate  sensitivity  gap ratio  (i.e.,  interest  rate sensitivity  gap
divided  by total  interest-earning  assets) and  the cumulative  interest rate
sensitivity gap  ratio.  The  table sets  forth the time  periods during  which
interest-earning  assets and  interest-bearing liabilities  will mature  or may
reprice in accordance with their contracted terms.

   Certain  shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the
following table.  For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have
similar maturities or periods of repricing, they may react in different degrees
and  at  different times  to  changes in  market  interest rates.    Also, loan
prepayments  and early withdrawals of  certificates of deposit  could cause the
interest sensitivities to vary from those which appear on the table.

   Bankshares  has a  formal asset/liability  management program.   The  primary
goal of  the program is to  provide management with information  related to the
rate sensitivity of certain assets and  liabilities and the effect of  changing
rates on  profitability and capital accounts.   While this planning  process is
designed  to  protect NBB  over the  long-term, it  does not  provide near-term
protection from "interest rate  shocks," as interest rate sensitive  assets and
liabilities do not, by their nature, move  up or down in tandem in response  to
changes  in the overall rate environment.  Therefore, Bankshares' profitability
in the near-term may  temporarily be affected, either  positively by a  falling
interest rate scenario, or negatively by a period of rising rates.

   An interest rate sensitivity  gap is considered  positive when the amount  of
interest  rate sensitive assets exceeds  the amount of  interest rate sensitive
liabilities.   A gap  is considered negative  when the amount  of interest rate
sensitive liabilities exceeds  the amount  of interest  rate sensitive  assets.
During a period  of rising interest rates, a negative  gap would generally tend
to affect  adversely net interest  income while a positive  gap would generally
tend to  result in  an increase in  net interest  income.   During a period  of
declining interest  rates, a  negative gap  would generally tend  to result  in
increased net interest  income, while  a positive gap  would generally tend  to
affect  adversely  net interest  income.   Bankshares'  future earnings  may be
adversely affected  by  a sharp  upturn  in  interest rates  as  Bankshares  is
liability sensitive for a period extending beyond one year.  In a  falling rate
environment  earnings would  benefit to  a certain  degree from  this position,
because assets  at higher rate levels  would reprice downward at  a slower rate
than  interest sensitive  liabilities.    Over the  one  to  five year  period,
Bankshares'   cumulative  interest-sensitivity   position  reflects   an  asset
sensitive  position.  This would  mean Bankshares would  benefit initially from
falling rates  but would be  adversely affected  by rising rates.   This  would
depend, however, on the  length of time rates  were rising and falling  and the
length of time rates remained stable at the level ultimately reached.

(1)  Bankshares is  sensitive to  interest rate  changes, as  liabilities generally  reprice or  mature
     before interest-earning assets. The  above gap table reflects Bankshares'  rate-sensitive position
     at December 31, 1995, and is not necessarily reflective  of its position throughout the year.  The
     carrying amounts of  interest-rate sensitive assets and  liabilities are presented in  the periods
     in  which they  reprice  to market  rates  or mature  and  are summed  to  show the  interest-rate
     sensitivity gap.
(2)  Excludes nonaccrual loans.

          (1)  Mortgage-backed securities  are included in the  totals for U.S.
               Government agencies and corporations.  The majority of Mortgage-
               backed Securities and  Collateralized Mortgage Obligations  held
               at December  31,  1995 were  backed  by  U.S. agencies.    These
               holdings are  "grandfathered" under  existing rules and  are not
               required  to   be  periodically   subjected  to  the   Financial
               Institution  Examination Council's  (FFIEC)  high risk  mortgage
               security test.  These tests address possible fluctuations in the
               average life  and price sensitivity which are  the primary risks
               associated with this type of  security.  Such tests are  usually
               subject  to regulatory  review.   It is  managements' judgement,
               however, that these tests are a  prudent measure and accordingly
               the bank voluntarily conducts these tests on a periodic basis.  

          Except for  U.S. Government securities, Bankshares  has no securities
          with any issuer that exceeds 10% of its stockholders' equity.

               Interest is recognized on  the cash basis for all  loans carried
               in nonaccrual status.  Loans  generally are placed in nonaccrual
               status  when the collection  of principal or  interest is ninety
               days  or  more past  due, unless  the  obligation is  both well-
               secured and in the process of collection.

          2.   Potential Problem Loans

               Effective January 1, 1995,  Bankshares adopted the provisions of
               SFAS No. 114, as amended by SFAS No. 118.  At December 31, 1995,
               the recorded investment  in loans which have  been identified as
               impaired  loans,  in  accordance  with  SFAS  No.  114,  totaled
               $539,000.   Of  this amount,  $90,000 related  to loans  with no
               valuation  allowance  and  $449,000  related  to  loans  with  a
               corresponding valuation allowance of $319,000.

               For  the year  ended  December 31,  1995,  the average  recorded
               investment in impaired loans was approximately $757,000, and the
               total interest  income recognized on impaired  loans was $47,000
               of which $5,000 was recognized on  a cash basis.  The balance of
               impaired  loans  at   January  1,  1995   totaled  approximately
               $812,000.  The  initial adoption to SFAS No. 114 did not require
               an  increase to  Bankshares'  allowance for  loan  losses.   The
               impact  of  SFAS  No. 114,  as  amended  by  SFAS  No. 118,  was
               immaterial to Bankshares'  consolidated financial statements  as
               of and for the year ended December 31, 1995.

          3.   Foreign Outstandings

               At  December  31, 1995,  1994 and  1993,  there were  no foreign
               outstandings.

          4.   Loan Concentrations

               At  December 31,  1995,  there were  no other  concentrations of
               loans exceeding  10%  of total  loans  which are  not  otherwise
               disclosed  as a category of  loans, except for  loans secured by
               vehicles which approximated $22 million.

Item 2.  Properties.
- --------------------

   Bankshares' headquarters, including the  Main Office  of NBB, are located  at
100 South  Main Street, Blacksburg, Virginia.   In addition to  the Main Office
location, NBB owns  six branch offices: two  in the Town of Blacksburg;  one in
the  Town of  Christiansburg; one  in  Montgomery County;  one in  the Town  of
Pearisburg; and  the sixth in  the Town of  Pembroke.  NBB  leases office space
near  the Main  Office  which is  occupied by  NBB's  trust, marketing,  audit,
compliance and credit review departments.

   NBB owns all its computer  and data processing hardware and is a licensee  of
the software it utilizes, which enables  NBB to perform all its data processing
functions in-house.  NBB views its modern data processing equipment and present
customer  service  facilities  as  being  adequate  to  support  future  growth
expectations.    Management  anticipates,  however, that  with  the  constantly
changing technological  environment that significant capital  expenditures will
be necessary to remain current.

     The National Bank has been a part of life in the New River Valley for over
a  century.  We have financed homes  that are now historic and automobiles that
have  become  antiques.   We  have been  there  to assist  generations  of area
residents when they opened their first savings accounts as children, bought new
homes  as  young  adults,  established  and  expanded  businesses  and  enjoyed
financial  security in  retirement.   While NBB  has grown  and kept  pace with
changing  technology, our  bankers  have  never  forgotten  the  importance  of
building and maintaining personal relationships with their customers.

     As  an  involved  corporate citizen,  The  National  Bank  has helped  our
communities meet diverse educational  and civic goals.  We have  placed banking
professionals  in local  classrooms,  and we  have  brought students  into  our
offices.    NBB and  its  employees  have  helped build  hospitals  and  public
recreation facilities, and through the years we have contributed volunteers and
resources to  support countless worthwhile artistic  and charitable activities.
Even though life in the New River Valley and banking at NBB have undergone many
changes since 1891,  The National  Bank's connections to  the community  remain
solid and strong.

National Bankshares, Inc.


     To Our Stockholders:

     During 1995 National Bankshares,  Inc. continued its profitable tradition,
once  again  achieving  record earnings.    Net  income  for  the year  reached
$3,256,000, an increase of 11.7%  over 1994.  Growth in the  loan portfolio and
improved  asset quality were  important components  of this  solid performance.
Already strong  capital levels  rose through  the year, and  dividends paid  to
stockholders were $0.63 per share  in 1995, up from $0.58 per share paid in the
previous year.

     Customers,  stockholders,  employees  and   the  Board  of  Directors  all
contribute to  Bankshares' consistently positive operating  results.  Customers
and  stockholders  have been  loyal  and  have offered  us  long term  support.
Employees regularly strive to provide  friendly, high quality customer service.
Knowledgeable  individuals  serve on  the Boards  of  Directors of  the holding
company  and the bank, and the  companies regularly benefit from their business
expertise.   Several  directors have  been with  National Bankshares  since its
formation in 1986 and have even longer tenure on The National Bank's board.  We
miss the  contributions of  our most  senior director,  John M. Barringer,  who
retired in September after more than forty years of distinguished service.

     Good progress continues to be made toward completion of the pending merger
with Bank  of Tazewell County.   Certain unanticipated  developments, including
government  closings  and  severe  winter weather,  have  delayed  the proposed
consummation of  the transaction.  Assuming  all merger conditions are  met and
regulatory approvals granted, we now hope  to finalize the merger in the second
quarter  of 1996.  Despite the delays, the Board of Directors and management of
National Bankshares remain enthusiastic about the prospects of the affiliation.
The Board is especially positive about the expanded opportunities and potential
benefits which this merger offers to our stockholders.

     As we begin our 105th year, new projects and exciting changes are planned.
We expect  to build our future  with a focus  on the same principles  that have
guided National Bankshares and The National Bank since 1891.   We are committed
to continuing  the tradition of offering quality community banking, emphasizing
state of the art financial services with a personal touch.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY
     Bankshares' net income  for 1995 was $3,256, an increase  of $340 or 11.7%
over  1994.  This  produced a  return on average  assets and  average equity of
1.62% and 15.09%, respectively.  This increase was primarily due to improvement
in  the net yield on interest-earning assets which  was 5.39% in 1995 and 5.22%
in 1994.  Net  interest income for 1995 was $9,375, an increase of $468 or 5.3%
over 1994.
     Net income for 1994 was $2,916, an increase of $244 or 9.1% over 1993. The
return on  average assets and  average equity  for 1994 was  1.51% and  15.19%,
respectively.  The increase over 1993 resulted primarily from a decrease in the
loan loss provision which declined $390  or 41.9% and net interest income which
increased by $302 or 3.5% over 1993.

NET INTEREST INCOME
1995 vs. 1994
     Net interest income was $9,375 and $8,907 for 1995 and 1994, respectively.
This  increase was attributable in part to  rising asset yields which increased
to 8.94% in 1995  from 8.28% in 1994.  This increase also resulted in part from
an internal shift in funds from  investments to higher yielding loans.  At  the
same time the cost to  fund interest-earning assets rose from 3.06%  in 1994 to
3.55% in 1995.   This increase was primarily due  to general rate increases  in
the marketplace  as overall  deposit  growth was  nominal.   The  net yield  on
interest-earning assets which factors in both  capital and demand deposits as a
funding source was 5.39% in 1995 and 5.22% in 1994.
     In April 1994, Bankshares acquired the deposits of the  Pembroke Office of
First  Union  National   Bank  of  Virginia  which   increased  total  deposits
approximately $14,514.    This addition  produced  excess liquidity  which  was
initially absorbed by the investment portfolio.  In 1995, NBB was able to shift
a portion of  these funds to the loan  portfolio and in doing so  increased the
yield  on  interest-earning  assets.   These  changes  combined  to produce  an
improvement in the  net yield  on interest-earning assets.   Average  interest-
earning assets for  1995 were $188,772, an increase of $3,976 or 2.2% over 1994


                                      -5-<PAGE>
due in part to the  Pembroke deposits obtained in  the second quarter of  1994,
nominal deposit  growth and internally  generated capital.   Average  interest-
bearing  liabilities were $156,957  for 1995, an  increase of $337  or .2% over
1994.    Deposit growth  in  1995 was  a  nominal  .6% and  was  the result  of
Bankshares'  excess  liquidity  position  which  allowed  it  to  take  a  less
aggressive stance in the procurement of external funds.  The full absorption of
excess liquidity created by the acquisition of the Pembroke Office deposits and
nominal deposit growth is expected to continue.

1994 vs. 1993
     Net interest income for 1994 was $8,907,  an increase of $302 or 3.5% over
the previous year.   The acquisition  of deposits  totaling $14,514 from  First
Union National Bank of Virginia significantly impacted Bankshares' net interest
income for 1994.  The influx  of deposits from the deposit acquisition produced
a  positive  volume  related  change in  interest-earning  assets;  however, it
created a negative rate change as these assets were invested  in lower yielding
investments  because insufficient  loan  demand existed  to  absorb the  funds.
Asset  yields were 8.28% in 1994 and 8.83%  in 1993.  Loan yields declined from
9.65% in 1993 to 9.22%  in 1994 in part due to the increasing  prime rate which
caused  a substantial  decline  in commercial  loan  volume.   The  decrease in
commercial  loan volume  was offset  in part  by an  increase in  consumer loan
volume  caused  by an  aggressive pricing  strategy  primarily at  the Pembroke
Office formerly a branch of First Union National Bank of Virginia.  The federal
funds rate was up slightly in 1994 as it reacted to market changes more quickly
than other  interest-earning assets.   Average interest-earning  assets totaled
$184,796 in 1994 compared to $171,150 in 1993.
     Interest  expense  was higher  in 1994  due  to the  volume  increase that
resulted from  the acquisition  of the  First Union  deposits.   However, these
deposits were generally lower rate deposits than Bankshares' which lessened the
impact  on interest expense.  Average rates paid  on deposits was 3.61% in 1994
compared to  3.95% in  1993.   With  the additional  liquidity, Bankshares  was
positioned to take a less aggressive position in obtaining external funds which
offset  to some  extent the  impact of  the rising  rate environment.   Average
interest-bearing liabilities  totaled $156,620 in 1994 compared  to $147,507 in
1993.    The  growth  in  interest-earning  assets  and  in  deposits  was  due
principally to the acquisition  of deposits from  First Union National Bank  of
Virginia.

INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY
     Bankshares  has systems and procedures  in place to  monitor interest rate
sensitivity  and modifies  its  asset and  liability  management strategies  in
response  to changing economic conditions.   Bankshares is  sensitive to rising
interest rate changes as  liabilities generally reprice or mature  more quickly
than interest-earning assets.
     Bankshares' future earnings may be adversely affected by a sharp upturn in
interest  rates as  Bankshares is  liability sensitive  for a  period extending
beyond one year.  In  a falling rate environment earnings would benefit to some
extent  from this  position as  assets at  higher  rate levels  would generally
reprice downward at a slower rate than interest sensitive liabilities.
     Beyond  one  year,  Bankshares'  cumulative  interest  sensitive  position
reflects  a slightly liability  sensitive position indicating  that the adverse
effect of rising rates or benefit from falling rates would dissipate in the one
to five year time period.
     The impact of  rising rates is dependent, however, upon the magnitude, the
length of the rising or  falling rate trend and the period of time rates remain
stable  at a  given level.   Management  typically adjusts  its asset/liability
strategies during times of rising and falling rates to minimize or maximize the
impact of changing rate scenarios.

PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES 
     The adequacy  of the allowance  for loan losses  is based  on management's
judgement  and  analysis  of  current  and  historical  loss  experience,  risk
characteristics  of the portfolio, concentrations  of credit and asset quality,
as  well  as  other internal  and  external  factors such  as  general economic
conditions.
     An internal credit review department performs pre-credit reviews of  large
credits and on an  ongoing basis, conducts analyses to  systematically evaluate
loan  quality  and  provides   management  with  an  early  warning   of  asset
deterioration.    Changing trends  in  the  loan  mix  are  also  evaluated  in
determining the adequacy of the allowance.

     Nonperforming   loans   include   nonaccrual   and   restructured   loans.
Nonperforming loans and nonperforming assets do not include accruing loans past
due 90 days or more.  Nonperforming assets totaled $1,159 at December 31, 1995,
and represents a $573 or 33.1% decrease from December 31, 1994.  In 1994, other
real estate owned increased by $858  as nonaccrual real estate loans moved into
foreclosure.   Nonaccrual loans, which totaled $1,864 in 1993, declined to $420
in  1994.  The ratios in the above  table reflect an overall trend of improving
asset quality  that has allowed management  to decrease the provision  for loan
losses and at the same time maintain an adequate loan loss allowance.
     While  continual  efforts  are  made  to improve  overall  asset  quality,
management is unable to estimate when and under what exact terms problem assets
will be resolved.
     Effective January 1,  1995, Bankshares adopted the provisions of Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 114,  "Accounting by Creditors for
Impairment of a Loan," as amended by SFAS No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for
Impairment  of a Loan  - Income Recognition  and Disclosures." At  December 31,
1995, the recorded investment in  loans which have been identified  as impaired
loans,  in accordance with  SFAS No.  114, totaled $539.   Of  this amount, $90
related to loans with no valuation allowance,  and $449 related to loans with a


                                      -7-<PAGE>
corresponding valuation allowance  of $319.   For the  year ended December  31,
1995, the average recorded  investment in the impaired loans  was approximately
$757, and  the total interest income  recognized on impaired loans  was $47, of
which $5 was  recognized on a  cash basis.   The balance  of impaired loans  at
January 1, 1995  totaled approximately $812.  The initial  adoption of SFAS No.
114 did not require an increase to Bankshares'  allowance for loan losses.  The
impact  of  SFAS  No. 114,  as  amended  by  SFAS No.  118,  was  immaterial to
Bankshares'  consolidated financial  statements as  of and  for the  year ended
December 31, 1995.

NONINTEREST INCOME
1995 vs. 1994
     Noninterest  income  totaled  $1,777 in  1995  and  $1,607  in 1994  which
represents an increase  of $170 or 10.6%.  Service  charges on deposit accounts
increased by $52 or 7.8% due to an increase in levels of demand  deposits which
on an average daily basis increased $2,063  or 10.2%.  Trust income declined by
$12  or 2.9%,  while  credit  card  fees increased  by  $95  or 26.8%.    Other
categories in the noninterest  income area fluctuated slightly.   The variances
were  attributable  to general  business  conditions  and business  development
efforts.

1994 vs. 1993
     Noninterest  income for 1994 and 1993 was $1,607 and $1,541, respectively,
which represents an increase  of $66 or 4.3%.  Service  charges on deposits for
1994 were $667 and  $594 in 1993, an increase  of $73 or 12.3%.   This increase
was  due in part  to the revision  of fee schedules  in mid-1993 which  were in
effect for all of 1994 and a general increase in business levels.  Trust income
was $417 for 1994  and $373 for 1993, an increase of $44  or 11.8% and a result
of an increase in trust assets which grew $7,049 or 14.5% from 1993 to 1994.
     Credit card fees showed  a continuing trend of improvement  increasing $38
or  12.0%.  The remainder of the  categories fluctuated due to general business
conditions,  with  the exception  of securities  gains  and losses,  which show
nominal amounts in both years.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE
1995 vs. 1994
     Noninterest expense for 1995 was $6,587, an increase of $429  or 7.0% over
1994.  In 1995, salaries and employee  benefits increased by $83 or 2.8% due to
normal salary increases, staff  additions and certain benefits linked  with the
increased profitability of NBB.
     The cost of  Federal Deposit Insurance  declined sharply by $181  or 46.8%
from  1994.  With  the Bank Insurance  Fund reaching mandated  levels, banks in
general became eligible for refunds on premiums previously paid and for reduced
premiums  in  future  periods.    Bankshares  received  a  refund  in  1995  of
approximately $110 and expects  future premiums to be nominal in  amount, based
on information currently available.
     Net costs  related to  the liquidation and  holding of  other real  estate
owned rose $158  in 1995  and was the  result of higher  than normal levels  of
properties  owned.   Resolution of  these problem  assets continues  to receive
strong emphasis.
     The other operating expense category increased by $298  or 19.9% from 1994
and was due primarily to expenses associated with the proposed merger discussed
below and a contribution to a community development corporation.  A substantial
portion  of Bankshares'  involvement in  the community  development corporation
will be recovered through future tax deductions and tax credits over a ten year
period.   The  remaining  components of  the  increase in  noninterest  expense
reflected higher costs associated with general business conditions.





                                      -8-<PAGE>
1994 vs. 1993
     Noninterest  expense  was  $6,158 in  1994  compared  to  $5,855 in  1993,
resulting in  an increase of 5.2%  in 1994.   In late 1993, the  acquisition of
NBB's credit  card processor,  Atlantic States  Bankcard Association, by  First
Data  Resources (FDR), necessitated a conversion to  FDR's computer system.  An
increase  in credit  card expense  of $69  in 1994  reflected FDR's  higher fee
structure.  The  1994 noninterest  expense figure also  includes certain  costs
associated with NBB's purchase in April, 1994 of the Pembroke,  Virginia office
of First  Union National Bank  of Virginia.   Deposit intangibles  of $908  are
being amortized over a ten-year period, and goodwill of $447 is being amortized
on a straight-line basis  over a fifteen-year period.  Net  costs of other real
estate owned  were $37  in 1994, compared  to $287  in 1993,  due to  decreased
losses  and  write-downs  and  lower maintenance  and  administrative  carrying
expenses  on the  properties.   The  timing of  acquisition and  liquidation of
foreclosed  assets, as  well  as  the nature  of  the properties,  affects  the
expenses incurred.  

INCOME TAXES
     Higher  taxable income  in 1995 resulted  in a  $134 or  14.9% increase in
federal income tax expense when compared to 1994.  A comparison of 1994 to 1993
also reflects an increase of $183 or 25.5%.   Tax exempt income continues to be
the primary difference in the "expected" and effective federal income tax rate.
Bankshares' effective  tax rate for  1995, 1994 and  1993 was 24.1%,  23.6% and
21.3%, respectively.
     Bankshares  has  determined  that  a  valuation  allowance  for  the gross
deferred tax assets is  not necessary due to  the fact that the realization  of
the entire gross deferred tax  assets can be supported  by the amount of  taxes
paid during the carryback period under current tax laws.

EFFECTS OF INFLATION
     Bankshares' consolidated  income statements generally reflect  the effects
of inflation.  Since interest rates, loan demand and deposit levels are related
to  inflation, the  resulting changes  are included  in net  income.   The most
significant  item  which  does   not  reflect  the  effects  of   inflation  is
depreciation expense, because historical  dollar values used to determine  this
expense  do  not  reflect  the  effect of  inflation  on  the  market  value of
depreciable assets after their acquisition.

BALANCE SHEET
1995 vs. 1994
     Total assets  at year-end 1995 totaled $203,389,  an increase of 1.8% over
1994.  Average assets  for 1995 totaled $201,906 an increase  of $4,725 or 2.4%
over 1994.   Loans, net of  unearned income, outstanding at  year-end 1995 were
$125,053, an increase of 8.1% from the same point in time in 1994.  This growth
was funded by a shift from investments to loans, increased internally generated
capital and a nominal growth in deposits.
     The  use  of  excess  internal  liquidity  to  fund  loan  growth  allowed
Bankshares to place less emphasis  on the procurement of external funds  in the
market place and avoid the associated cost of such activities.

1994 vs. 1993
     Total assets at year-end  1994 were $199,727 which represents  an increase
of $13,033  or  7.0% from  1993.   Average  assets were  $197,181  in 1994  and
$182,499 in 1993, an  increase of $14,682 or 8.0%.  The  growth reflected above
was  principally due to the acquisition of  the deposits of the Pembroke Office
from First  Union National Bank  of Virginia.   The influx of  deposits created
excess liquidity which was  initially placed in the investment  portfolio until
the  funds  could be  absorbed  into  the loan  portfolio.    Given the  excess
liquidity,  Bankshares  took a  less aggressive  stance  in the  procurement of
external funds which reduced interest expense.

LOANS
1995 vs. 1994
     Loans, net of unearned income, at year-end 1995 and 1994 were $125,053 and
$115,724, respectively, which represents an  increase of $9,329 or 8.1%.   Real
estate construction loans increased  by $464 or 8.4% while real estate mortgage
loans increased by  $1,586 or 5.2%.  Commercial and  industrial loans increased
by $4,765  or 13.2%  in  1995.   Loans to  individuals  also reflected  growth,
increasing by $2,365 or 5.2%.
     Average  total loans  for  1995  were  $118,760  and  $111,708  for  1994.
Management  continues to  place emphasis on  loan growth  as a  means to absorb
excess liquidity and improve profitability.

1994 vs. 1993
     Total loans, net of  unearned income, at  year-end 1994 were $115,724,  an
increase  of $3,469  or  3.1%.   During  1994  real estate  construction  loans
increased by $1,597 or 40.4%.
     Real  estate mortgage loans increased by $3,574 or  13.4% in 1994.  Due to
the  rising rates experienced  in 1994, commercial loans  declined by $9,634 or
21.1%.  At the same time consumer loans increased by $8,522 or 22.9%.  This was
due to an aggressive  pricing strategy primarily focused at  the newly acquired
Pembroke Office, formerly  a branch of First  Union National Bank  of Virginia.
As previously discussed,  this action had the effect of  increasing volume, but
reducing the  overall yield on loans due to the lower rates on these extensions
of credit.
     Average loans  for  1994 were  $111,708  and $107,583  in  1994 and  1993,
respectively.

SECURITIES
1995 vs. 1994
     In late 1995,  the Financial Accounting Standards Board  granted financial
institutions  a  one  time opportunity  to  transfer  securities  from held  to
maturity  to available  for sale.   Conditions  of this transfer  provided that
institutions  opting to  make  this shift  could do  so  without bringing  into
question their ability and positive intent to  hold to maturity their remaining
held to maturity securities.  Bankshares utilized this one  time opportunity to
shift approximately $8,199 in securities held to maturity to the available  for
sale category on December 1, 1995.
     The average balances for securities available for sale were $13,528 during
1995  and $14,967 in 1994.  Year-end  balances were $26,571 and $12,114 in 1995
and 1994, respectively.
     The  average balances  for securities  held to  maturity were  $52,226 and
$54,293 in  1995 and 1994, respectively.   Year-end balances for  1995 and 1994
were $40,166 and $57,389.
     Year-end balances reflect more clearly the shift of investments associated
with the one time transfer of $8,199 described above and the general decline in
securities held to maturity due to calls and maturities.
     Bankshares' investment policy stresses safety with a program of purchasing
high  quality securities  such  as U.S.  Treasury  and U.S.  Government  agency
issues, state,  county, and  municipal bonds, corporate  bonds, mortgage-backed
securities and other bank qualified investments.  Bankshares has classified all
of its  investment securities as either held to maturity or available for sale,
as Bankshares does not engage in trading activities.  Investment strategies are
adjusted in response to market conditions and available investment vehicles.
     At December 31, 1995, NBB had  no investment concentrations in any  single
issues that (excluding U.S. Government) exceeded ten percent of capital.







                                      -10-<PAGE>
1994 vs. 1993
     Effective January 1, 1994,  Bankshares adopted the provisions of  SFAS No.
115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities."   Upon
adoption of SFAS No.  115, certain investment securities totaling  $17,451 were
reclassified from securities held to maturity to securities available for sale.
At December 31, 1994, there  were $12,114 in securities available for  sale and
$57,389 in securities held to maturity.

DEPOSITS
1995 vs. 1994
     Average  total deposits at December 31, 1995, totaled $179,141 compared to
$176,413 in 1994, an  increase of $2,728 or 1.5%.   The low growth rate  was in
part  due to Bankshares' excess liquidity position  and its ability to meet the
funding needs internally.   The deposit mix  shifted toward time deposits  away
from  interest-bearing demand deposits and  savings accounts due  to the higher
rates paid on time deposits.
     Average time deposits increased by $10,403, while average interest-bearing
demand deposits  and savings accounts declined by $6,149 and $3,589 in 1995 and
1994, respectively.

1994 vs. 1993
     Average total  deposits for the  year 1994  were $176,413, an  increase of
$12,011 or  7.3% from  1993.   The principal  source  of the  increase was  the
acquisition of  the deposits of the Pembroke Office, formerly a branch of First
Union  National  Bank of  Virginia, which  added  approximately $14,514  to the
deposit base.

LIQUIDITY
1995 vs. 1994
     Liquidity is the ability to provide sufficient cash flow to meet financial
commitments  and to  fund  additional loan  demand  or withdrawal  of  existing
deposits.  Sources of  liquidity include deposits, loan principal  and interest
repayments,  sales,   calls  and   maturities  of  securities   and  short-term
borrowings.  NBB maintained  an adequate liquidity level during 1995  and 1994.
Management is not  aware of any trends, commitments or  events that will result
in or that are reasonably  likely to result in a material increase  or decrease
in liquidity other than the effects of the proposed merger discussed below.
     Net cash from operating activities of $3,964 in 1995 decreased $1,333 from
1994  and was primarily attributable to a  change in the real estate loans held
for sale category  which fluctuates based  upon loan demand  and the timing  of
loan sales in the secondary market.
     Cash flows from investing  activities continue to reflect the  shifting of
investments to the  loan portfolio and securities held to maturity to available
for  sale.   Net cash  flows  from securities,  fed funds  sold, and  operating
activities for 1995  of $3,065, $1,400  and $3,964,  respectively, and cash  on
hand were used to fund the net increase in loans of $9,598.  

1994 vs. 1993
     Net cash  provided  by  operations, which  consisted  principally  of  net
income, amounted to $5,297 and $4,078 in  1994 and 1993 respectively.  Net cash
flows from financing activities, which consists principally of net increases in
deposits,  amounted to  $8,672 in  1994 and  $1,215 in  1993.  Cash  flows from
operations  and financing activities were  invested in loans  and securities in
1994 and 1993.

CAPITAL RESOURCES
1995 vs. 1994
     Total  stockholders' equity increased $2,417  from 1994 to  1995, with net
income, less cash dividends on common stock of $1,080, accounting primarily for
the increase.  Net unrealized gains or losses on securities available for sale,


                                      -11-<PAGE>
net of income taxes, were $115 at December 31, 1995 and ($126) at  December 31,
1994.   These  unrealized  net gains  and  losses are  recorded  as a  separate
component of  stockholders' equity and will continue to be subject to change in
future years due to  fluctuations in fair values, sales,  purchases, maturities
and  calls of  securities  classified as  available  for sale.    There are  no
material commitments  for capital  expenditures as  of December  31, 1995.   In
addition, there are no expected material changes in the mix or relative cost of
capital  resources  other than  the effects  of  the proposed  merger discussed
below.
     Bankshares  has operated from a consistently strong capital position.  The
ratio of total stockholders' equity to total assets was 11.09% at year-end 1995
compared to 10.08% at year-end  1994.  Banks are required to  apply percentages
to  various  assets, including  off-balance  sheet  assets,  to  reflect  their
perceived  risk.  Regulatory defined capital is divided by risk-weighted assets
in  determining the bank's risk-based capital ratio.  No regulatory authorities
have  advised  Bankshares  or The  National  Bank  of Blacksburg  (NBB)  of any
specific  leverage ratios  applicable  to them.    Both Bankshares'  and  NBB's
capital adequacy ratios  exceed regulatory requirements and  they provide added
flexibility to take advantage of business opportunities as they arise.

1994 vs. 1993
     Total stockholders' equity increased $1,883 from 1993 to 1994.  Net income
less  cash dividends on  common stock of  $993 and the  issuance of Bankshares'
common stock to  Bankshares' Employee Stock Ownership Plan  for $86 account for
this increase.  The $126 decrease in stockholders' equity at December 31, 1994,
represents the excess  of amortized  costs over the  fair values of  securities
available for sale, net of income taxes, at year-end as  prescribed by SFAS No.
115.  Net unrealized gains  or losses on securities available for sale,  net of
income  taxes, which  is  recorded  as a  separate  component of  stockholders'
equity,  will  continue  to  be  subject  to  change  in  future  years due  to
fluctuations  in  fair  values,  sales,  purchases,  maturities  and  calls  of
securities classified as available for sale.
     The ratio of  total stockholders'  equity to  total assets  was 10.08%  at
year-end 1994 compared to 9.78% at year-end 1993.


                                      -12-<PAGE>
FUTURE ACCOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS
     In  March 1995, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board  issued SFAS No.
121, "Accounting for  the Impairment  of Long-lived Assets  and for  Long-lived
Assets to be  Disposed of."   SFAS No. 121  requires companies to review  long-
lived assets and certain  identifiable intangibles to be held, used or disposed
of for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  Bankshares is required  to
adopt this statement in 1996, and  believes the adoption of this statement will
not have a significant effect on its consolidated financial statements.

PROPOSED MERGER
     In  August  of 1995,  Bankshares  and the  Bank of  Tazewell  County (BTC)
entered into an affiliation  agreement whereby Bankshares and BTC  would merge.
Stockholders of Bankshares would  receive an additional .11129 share  of common
stock for each of their shares, and stockholders of BTC would receive one share
of Bankshares' common stock for each of their shares.  The agreement is subject
to approval of stockholders of BTC and regulatory authorities.
     The merger of Bankshares and  BTC will have a combination of  positive and
negative  effects on  Bankshares'  financial position,  results of  operations,
liquidity and capital.   While both entities have strong  earnings, Bankshares'
return on assets and equity can be expected to  decline due to the lower ratios
exhibited by BTC.  BTC's lower ratios are due to its excess liquidity  which is
presently invested in  the securities portfolio due to the  lack of loan demand
in BTC's trade area.   It is expected that BTC's ratios  could be enhanced over
time by purchasing  loans from NBB, as NBB's  trade area is more  developed and
loan demand is  higher.  Both Bankshares and BTC  have strong capital positions
which have generally trended upward, the result of earnings growth coupled with
a generally moderate dividend payout.
     The overall impact of the merger is expected to be positive with regard to
liquidity and capital; however, excess liquidity will have to be  absorbed into
BTC's loan  portfolio to increase net  interest income.  The  minimal levels of
noninterest  income at  BTC are  also  viewed as  a  potential opportunity  for
increased income in the future.
     At December 31, 1995, BTC had assets of approximately $178 million and net
income  of approximately  $2.3 million.  The affiliation  is anticipated  to be
accounted for as  a pooling-of-interests and to become  effective in the second
quarter of 1996.

                    Statement of Management's Responsibility








     Management is responsible  for the preparation,  content and integrity  of
the consolidated financial statements, related notes and all  other information
included  in  this annual  report.   The financial  data  has been  prepared in
accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  and,  management
believes, fairly  and consistently presents Bankshares'  financial position and
results of operations.

     Bankshares  maintains  a  system   of  internal  controls  which  provides
reasonable assurances that assets are protected and that accounting records are
reliable for the preparation of consolidated financial statements.

     The Audit  Committee of  the Board of  Directors is comprised  entirely of
outside directors.  Bankshares' internal auditors  report to the committee.  On
a periodic basis, the  committee meets with the internal  auditors, independent
auditors and management to discuss matters relating to the  quality of internal
control,  financial  reporting and  audit scope.    Both internal  auditors and
independent  auditors have  access to  the audit committee,  without management
present if desired, to freely discuss their evaluation of Bankshares' system of
internal controls and any other matters.

                          Independent Auditors' Report





The Board of Directors and Stockholders
National Bankshares, Inc.:

     We have audited the  accompanying consolidated balance sheets  of National
Bankshares,  Inc. and  subsidiary as  of December  31, 1995  and 1994,  and the
related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity, and
cash flows for each  of the years in  the three-year period ended December  31,
1995.    These consolidated  financial  statements  are the  responsibility  of
Bankshares' management.  Our responsibility  is to express an opinion  on these
consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

     We conducted  our audits  in accordance  with generally  accepted auditing
standards.   Those  standards require  that we  plan and  perform the  audit to
obtain  reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.   An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts  and disclosures in the financial statements.   An audit
also  includes  assessing  the   accounting  principles  used  and  significant
estimates  made  by management,  as well  as  evaluating the  overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable  basis
for our opinion.

     In our opinion,  the consolidated financial  statements referred to  above
present fairly, in all material  respects, the  financial position of  National
Bankshares,  Inc. and  subsidiary as  of December  31, 1995  and 1994,  and the
results of their operations  and their cash flows for each of  the years in the
three-year period ended December 31, 1995 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

     As discussed in notes 1(D) and 5 to the consolidated financial statements,
Bankshares  adopted  the  provisions   of  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting
Standards  No. 114,  "Accounting by  Creditors for  Impairment  of a  Loan," as
amended  by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 118, "Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures," as of
January 1,  1995.   As  discussed  in notes  1(C)  and  3 to  the  consolidated
financial  statements,  Bankshares  adopted  the  provisions  of  Statement  of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for  Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities," as of January 1, 1994.  As discussed in notes 1(J)
and  9  to  the  consolidated  financial  statements,  Bankshares  adopted  the
provisions of Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting
for Income Taxes," as of January 1, 1993.

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

$ In thousands, except per share data.         December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
   The  accounting   and  reporting  policies  of   National  Bankshares,  Inc.
(Bankshares) and  its wholly-owned subsidiary, The National  Bank of Blacksburg
(NBB),  conform  to  generally   accepted  accounting  principles  and  general
practices within the banking industry.  In preparing the consolidated financial
statements, management is required  to make certain estimates,  assumptions and
loan  evaluations that  affect  its consolidated  financial statements  for the
period.  Actual results could vary significantly from those estimates.
   Changing  economic   conditions,  adverse   economic  prospects  for   NBB's
borrowers, as well  as regulatory agency action as a  result of an examination,
could cause NBB to recognize additions to the allowance for loan losses and may
also   affect  the  valuation  of  real  estate  acquired  in  connection  with
foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans.
   The following is a summary of the more significant accounting policies.

   (A)  Consolidation
        The consolidated financial  statements include the accounts of  National
   Bankshares,   Inc.  and   its  wholly-owned   subsidiary.   All  significant
   intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

   (B)  Cash and Cash Equivalents
        For purposes of reporting cash flows,  cash and cash equivalents include
   cash on hand and due from banks.

   (C)  Securities
        Effective  January  1,  1994,  Bankshares  adopted  the  provisions   of
   Statement of  Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, "Accounting for
   Certain Investments  in Debt  and Equity  Securities," and  accordingly, has
   recorded the  effect  of  this adoption  in  the  accompanying  consolidated
   financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1994.
        Securities  available  for  sale  are  reported   at  fair  value,  with
   unrealized gains and  losses excluded from net  income and reported, net  of
   income taxes, in  a separate component of stockholders' equity.   Securities
   held  to maturity are stated at  cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums
   and accretion  of discounts  on a basis  which approximates the  level yield
   method.  Bankshares does not engage in securities trading.  Gains and losses
   on securities  are accounted for on  the completed transaction basis  by the
   specific identification method.
        A  decline in  the  fair  value of  any available  for sale  or  held to
   maturity security below cost that  is deemed other than temporary is charged
   to income  resulting  in  the establishment  of  a new  cost basis  for  the
   security.

   (D)  Loans
        Loans  are stated at the  amount of funds disbursed  plus the applicable
   amount,  if  any,  of  unearned interest  and  other  charges less  payments
   received.  Income on installment loans, including impaired installment loans
   that have not  been placed in  nonaccrual status,  is recognized on  methods
   which  approximate the  level yield  method.  Interest  on all  other loans,
   including impaired  other loans  that  have not  been placed  in  nonaccrual
   status, is  accrued based on  the balance outstanding  times the  applicable
   interest rate.
        Interest is  recognized  on  the cash  basis for  all  loans carried  in
   nonaccrual status.  Loans generally are placed in nonaccrual status when the
   collection of principal or interest is 90 days or more past due,  unless the
   obligation is both well-secured and in the process of collection.


                                      -24-<PAGE>
        Loan origination and commitment fees and  certain direct costs are being
   deferred, and  the net  amount amortized  as an  adjustment to  the  related
   loan's yield.   These amounts are being amortized  over the contractual life
   of the related loans.
        Effective January  1, 1995,  Bankshares adopted the  provisions of  SFAS
   No. 114, "Accounting by  Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," as  amended by
   SFAS No.  118, "Accounting by Creditors  for Impairment of  a Loan -  Income
   Recognition and  Disclosures."  SFAS  No. 114, as  amended by  SFAS No. 118,
   requires that impaired loans within the scope of the statements be presented
   in  the financial statements  at the present  value of expected  future cash
   flows  or at the fair value of  the loan's collateral if  the loan is deemed
   "collateral dependent."   A valuation  allowance is required  to the  extent
   that the measure of the impaired loans is less than the recorded investment.
   SFAS  No. 114 does  not apply to  large groups  of small-balance homogeneous
   loans such as residential  real estate mortgage, consumer  installment, home
   equity and bank card loans, which are collectively evaluated for impairment.
   SFAS  No. 118  allows a  creditor to  use  existing methods  for recognizing
   interest income on an impaired loan.
        Mortgage  loans held for  sale are carried at the  lower of cost or fair
   value.

   (E)  Allowance for Loan Losses
        The  allowance for loan  losses is  a valuation  allowance consisting of
   the cumulative  effect of the  provision for  loan losses, plus  any amounts
   recovered  on loans previously  charged off, minus  loans charged  off.  The
   provision for  loan losses  charged to  expense is the  amount necessary  in
   management's judgement to  maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level
   it believes adequate to absorb losses in the collection of its loans.

   (F)  Bank Premises and Equipment
        Bank  premises and  equipment are  stated  at  cost, net  of accumulated
   depreciation.  Depreciation is charged to expense over the estimated  useful
   lives of the  assets on the straight-line basis.   Depreciable lives include
   40 years for premises  and 3-10 years for furniture and equipment.  Costs of
   maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred and  improvements
   are capitalized.

   (G)  Other Real Estate Owned
        Other  real estate,  acquired through  foreclosure  or  deed in  lieu of
   foreclosure, is carried at the lower of the recorded  investment or its fair
   value, less  estimated  costs to  sell (net  realizable  value).   When  the
   property is  acquired, any excess  of the loan  balance over  net realizable
   value is charged to the allowance for  loan losses.  Increases or  decreases
   in the  net realizable value of  such properties are credited  or charged to
   income by  adjusting the valuation  allowance for other  real estate  owned.
   Net costs of maintaining or operating foreclosed properties are expensed  as
   incurred.  

   (H)  Intangible Assets
        Included in  other assets are  deposit intangibles of  $757 and $872  at
   December 31, 1995 and  1994, respectively, and goodwill of $397 and  $427 at
   December 31,  1995 and 1994,  respectively.  Deposit  intangibles are  being
   amortized  on a  straight-line basis  over either  a seven-year  or ten-year
   period and  goodwill is  being  amortized on  a straight-line  basis over  a
   fifteen-year period.







                                      -25-<PAGE>
   (I)  Pension Plan
        NBB has  a defined benefit pension  plan which  covers substantially all
   full-time  officers and employees.   The benefits  are based  upon length of
   service and  a percentage of  the employee's compensation  during the  final
   years  of employment.  Pension costs  are computed based upon the provisions
   of SFAS No. 87.  NBB contributes  to the pension plan amounts deductible for
   federal income tax purposes.

   (J)  Income Taxes
        Effective  January 1,  1993, Bankshares  adopted the provisions  of SFAS
   No.  109, "Accounting  for Income  Taxes," and  has reported  the cumulative
   effect of  that change in the method  of accounting for income  taxes in the
   1993 consolidated statement of income.  SFAS No. 109  requires the asset and
   liability  method  of  accounting  for income  taxes.    Under this  method,
   deferred  tax assets  and  liabilities  are recognized  for the  future  tax
   consequences  attributable  to differences  between the  financial statement
   carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
   bases and operating loss and tax credit  carryforwards.  Deferred tax assets
   and liabilities  are measured using enacted  tax rates expected to  apply to
   taxable  income  in  the  years in  which  those  temporary differences  are
   expected to be recovered  or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and
   liabilities of a change in tax  rates is recognized in income in  the period
   that includes the enactment date.

   (K)  Trust Assets and Income
        Assets (other than  cash deposits)  held by  the Trust  Department in  a
   fiduciary  or  agency  capacity  for  customers  are  not  included  in  the
   consolidated  financial statements since  such items are not  assets of NBB.
   Trust income is recognized on the accrual basis.

   (L)  Net Income Per Share
        Net income  per  share is  based upon  the  weighted  average number  of
   common  shares outstanding (1,714,152  shares in  1995, 1,710,310  shares in
   1994 and 1,707,764 shares in 1993).

   (M)  Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments
        In  the ordinary course  of business,  NBB has  entered into off-balance
   sheet financial instruments consisting of  commitments to extend credit  and
   standby  letters of credit.  Such financial instruments are  recorded in the
   financial statements when they become payable.

   (N)  Fair Value of Financial Instruments
        The  following methods and  assumptions were  used to  estimate the fair
   value of each  class of financial instrument for  which it is practicable to
   estimate that value:

        (1)  Cash and Due from Banks
             The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

        (2)  Federal Funds Sold
             The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

        (3)  Securities
             The  fair values  of securities  are  determined by  quoted  market
        prices or dealer quotes.   The fair value of certain state and municipal
        securities is not  readily available  through market sources other  than
        dealer quotations,  so fair value estimates  are based  on quoted market
        prices  of similar  instruments, adjusted  for differences  between  the
        quoted instruments and the instruments being valued.



                                      -26-<PAGE>
        (4)  Loans
             Fair  values are  estimated  for portfolios  of loans  with similar
        financial  characteristics.    Loans  are  segregated  by  type  such as
        mortgage  loans held  for sale,  commercial, real  estate  - commercial,
        real estate  - construction,  real estate  - mortgage,  credit card  and
        other consumer  loans.   Each loan  category is  further segmented  into
        fixed  and  adjustable  rate   interest  terms  and  by  performing  and
        nonperforming categories.
             The fair  value of  performing loans is  calculated by  discounting
        scheduled  cash flows  through the  estimated maturity  using  estimated
        market  discount rates that  reflect the  credit and  interest rate risk
        inherent  in the loan,  as well as estimates  for operating expenses and
        prepayments.    The  estimate  of  maturity  is   based  on  Bankshares'
        historical  experience  with  repayments for  each  loan classification,
        modified, as required, by an estimate of  the effect of current economic
        and lending conditions.
             Fair  value  for  significant  nonperforming  loans  is  based   on
        estimated  cash flows  which are  discounted using  a rate  commensurate
        with  the risk associated  with the  estimated cash  flows.  Assumptions
        regarding credit risk,  cash flows  and discount rates are  judgmentally
        determined  using  available  market information  and  specific borrower
        information.

        (5)  Deposits
             The  fair  value of  demand  and  savings  deposits  is the  amount
        payable on demand.   The fair value of fixed maturity time deposits  and
        certificates of deposit  is estimated using the rates currently  offered
        for deposits with similar remaining maturities.

        (6)  Commitments to Extend Credit and Standby Letters of Credit
             The  only  amounts  recorded  for  commitments  to  extend  credit,
        standby  letters of  credit and  financial  guarantees written  are  the
        deferred  fees  arising from  these unrecognized  financial instruments.
        These  deferred fees are not deemed significant at December 31, 1995 and
        1994, and as such, the related fair values have not been estimated.

   (O)  Reclassifications
        Certain reclassifications  have been made  to prior years'  consolidated
   financial  statements to  place them  on a  basis  comparable with  the 1995
   consolidated financial statements.

Note 2: Restrictions on Cash
   To  comply with  Federal Reserve  regulations, NBB  is required  to maintain
certain  average reserve balances.  The daily average reserve requirements were
$1,667  and  $1,567  for  the  weeks  including December  31,  1995  and  1994,
respectively.

Note 3: Securities 
   As discussed in note 1(C), effective January 1, 1994, Bankshares adopted the
provisions of  SFAS No. 115,  "Accounting for  Certain Investments in  Debt and
Equity  Securities."   Upon  adoption  of  SFAS  No.  115,  certain  investment
securities totaling $17,451 were reclassified from securities held to  maturity
to securities  available for  sale.   The cumulative effect  of this  change in
accounting at January 1, 1994, was to increase securities available for sale by
$414, decrease  the net deferred tax  asset by $141 and  increase stockholders'
equity by $273.
   The amortized  costs, gross  unrealized gains, gross  unrealized losses  and
fair  values for  securities available for  sale by  major security  type as of
December 31, 1995 and 1994 are as follows:

   There were no  sales of securities  held to  maturity during  1995 or  1994.
Proceeds from  the sale of securities  held to maturity during  1993 were $981.
Gross gains  of $67 and  gross losses  of $42 were  realized on these  sales in
1993.
   The  carrying  value of  securities  pledged  to  secure  public  and  trust
deposits, and for other purposes as required or permitted by law, was $5,661 at
December 31, 1995 and $5,403 at December 31, 1994.  
   On  November 15,  1995, the  Financial Accounting  Standards Board  issued a
Special Report, "A Guide  to Implementation of Statement 115  on Accounting for
Certain  Investments in  Debt  and Equity  Securities."   This  Special  Report
contained  a unique  provision that  allowed entities  to, concurrent  with the
initial adoption of the implementation guidance but  no later than December 31,
1995, reassess  the appropriateness  of the  classifications of all  securities
held at the time.   In connection  with this one-time reassessment,  Bankshares
transferred securities classified as  held to maturity with amortized  costs of
approximately $8,199 to available for sale securities, increased by the related
unrealized  gain in  the  amount  of approximately  $11  on  December 1,  1995.
Entities  opting to  make such  a transfer  could do  so without  bringing into
question  their  ability and  positive  intent to  hold  the remaining  held to
maturity portfolio until maturity.

Note 4: Loans to Officers and Directors
   In  the normal  course  of business,  NBB  has  made loans  to  officers and
directors.   As  of December  31, 1995  and 1994,  there were  direct loans  to
officers and directors of $1,718 and $1,750, respectively.  In addition,  there
were loans  of $1,881 and $1,798  at December 31, 1995  and 1994, respectively,
which were  endorsed by directors and/or officers or had been made to companies
in which directors and/or officers had an equity interest.

   As discussed in note 1(D), effective January 1, 1995, Bankshares adopted the
provisions of SFAS No. 114, as amended by SFAS No. 118.  At December  31, 1995,
the recorded investment in  loans which have been identified as impaired loans,
in accordance  with  SFAS No.  114, totaled  $539.   Of this  amount, $90  were
related to loans with  no valuation allowance and $449 related to  loans with a
corresponding valuation allowance of $319.
   For the  year ended December  31, 1995, the  average recorded  investment in
impaired loans was approximately $757, and the total interest income recognized
on  impaired loans was  $47 of which  $5 was recognized  on a cash  basis.  The
balance  of impaired loans at January 1,  1995 totaled approximately $812.  The
initial adoption  of SFAS No.  114 did not  require an increase  to Bankshares'
allowance for loan losses.   The impact of SFAS No. 114, as amended by SFAS No.
118,  was immaterial to Bankshares' consolidated financial statements as of and
for the year ended December 31, 1995.

   Included in  time  deposits  are certificates  of  deposit  and  other  time
deposits  of $100 or more  in the aggregate amounts  of $13,358 at December 31,
1995 and $10,726 at December 31, 1994.

Note 8: Employee Benefit Plans
   NBB  has a Retirement  Accumulation Plan  qualifying under  IRS Code Section
401(k).  Eligible participants  in the plan can  contribute up to 10% of  their
total annual compensation  to the plan.  Employee contributions  are matched by
NBB  based  on  a  percentage  of  an   employee's  total  annual  compensation
contributed to the plan.  For the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993,
NBB contributed $78, $76 and $69, respectively, to the plan.
   National Bankshares,  Inc. has a nonleveraged  Employee Stock Ownership Plan
(ESOP)  which enables employees with one year  of service who have attained the
age of  21 prior to  the plan's January  1 and July  1 enrollment dates  to own
common stock in Bankshares.  Contributions to the ESOP  are determined annually
by the Board  of Directors.   Contribution expense amounted  to $163, $145  and
$134 for  the years  ended  December 31,  1995,  1994 and  1993,  respectively.
Dividends on ESOP shares are charged to  undivided profits.  As of December 31,
1995, the number of allocated shares held by the ESOP was 43,840 and the number
of unallocated shares  was 7,266.  All shares  held by the ESOP are  treated as
outstanding in  computing Bankshares' net income  per share.  The  ESOP has the
right of first refusal for any shares distributed to a participant in the event
the participant elects to sell the shares.  Upon reaching age 55 with ten years
of plan participation, a vested  participant has the right to diversify  50% of
his or her  allocated ESOP shares and  the ESOP would be obligated  to purchase
those shares.

   NBB also has a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan which covers all
full-time officers and employees with one year of service who have attained the
age of 21  prior to  the plan's January  1 and  July 1 enrollment  dates.   The
pension plan's benefit  formulas generally base  payments to retired  employees
upon their length of service and a percentage of qualifying compensation during
their  final years  of  employment.   The pension  plan's  assets are  invested
principally in U.S. Government agency obligations and mutual funds.
   The plan's funded status at December 31, 1995 and 1994 is as follows:

   Bankshares has determined that a valuation allowance for the gross  deferred
tax assets is not necessary at December 31, 1995 and 1994 due to the  fact that
the realization of the entire gross deferred tax assets can be supported by the
amount  of taxes paid  during the carryback period  available under current tax
laws.

Note 10: Long-Term Debt
   Long-term  debt consisted  of an  unsecured equity commitment  note maturing
January 12, 1995 with  interest at the U.S.  Prime Rate plus .5%.  During 1993,
this indebtedness was paid in full.

Note 11: Common Stock Transactions
   During  1994 and  1993, the  ESOP purchased  4,480 and  5,528 shares  of the
common stock of National  Bankshares, Inc. at a price of  $19.35 and $11.00 per
share, respectively.  There was no stock  purchased in 1995 for the ESOP.   The
net proceeds from these stock issuances have been credited to  common stock and
surplus in the respective years.

Note 12: Restrictions on Payments of Dividends and Capital Requirements
   National Bankshares, Inc.'s principal source of funds  for dividend payments
is dividends  received from its subsidiary.   For the years  ended December 31,
1995, 1994 and 1993, dividends received from NBB were $1,055,  $1,133 and $993,
respectively.



                                      -35-<PAGE>
   Under applicable federal laws, the Comptroller of the Currency restricts the
total dividend payments  of NBB in any calendar year to the net profits of that
year  as defined,  combined with  retained  net profits  for the  preceding two
years.   At  December 31, 1995,  retained net  profits which were  free of such
restrictions amounted to approximately $4,256.
   NBB  is required  to  maintain minimum  amounts  of capital  to  total risk-
weighted  assets, as defined by the banking  regulators.  At December 31, 1995,
NBB is required  to have minimum Tier 1 and total  capital ratios of 4% and 8%,
respectively.   NBB's  actual  ratios at  that  date were  15.01%  and  16.27%,
respectively.  NBB's leverage ratio at December 31, 1995 was 10.31%.

respectively.   In addition,  for the years  ended December 31,  1995 and 1994,

for noncash transfers of securities.

Note 15: Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk
   NBB is a party  to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk  in the
normal course of business to meet the financing needs  of its customers.  These
financial instruments include commitments to  extend credit and standby letters
of  credit.  Those instruments involve, to  varying degrees, elements of credit
risk in  excess of the  amount recognized  in the consolidated  balance sheets.
The contract amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement NBB
has in particular classes of financial instruments.


                                      -38-<PAGE>
   NBB's exposure to credit loss, in the  event of nonperformance by the  other
party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend  credit and standby
letters   of  credit,  is  represented  by  the  contractual  amount  of  those
instruments.   NBB  uses the  same credit  policies  in making  commitments and
conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.
   NBB  may require  collateral  or  other security  to support  the  following
financial instruments with credit risk:


                                                               December 31,

                                                            ------     ------
   Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent
    credit risk:
           Commitments to extend credit                     $28,284    30,244 
           Standby letters of credit                          1,934     3,117 

   Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as
there  is  no  violation  of   any  condition  established  in  the   contract.
Commitments  generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses
and may require payment of a  fee.  Since many of the commitments  are expected
to  expire without  being  drawn  upon, the  total  commitment  amounts do  not
necessarily represent future cash requirements.  NBB  evaluates each customer's
creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis.   The amount of collateral  obtained,
if required  by NBB upon extension  of credit, is based  on management's credit
evaluation of the  customer.  Collateral held  varies but may  include accounts
receivable,  inventory, property,  plant  and  equipment  and  income-producing
commercial properties.  Extensions of credit arising from these commitments are
predominantly  variable   rate  in   nature;  the  principal   exception  being
construction loans which are at fixed rates, but have terms generally less than
one year.
   Standby  letters of  credit are  conditional  commitments issued  by NBB  to
guarantee  the performance of  a customer to  a third  party.  The  credit risk
involved in issuing letters of credit  is essentially the same as that involved
in  extending  loans to  customers.   Collateral  held  varies but  may include
accounts  receivable,  inventory, property,  plant  and  equipment and  income-
producing commercial properties.
   NBB originates mortgage loans for sale to secondary market investors subject
to contractually  specified  and limited  recourse provisions.    In 1995,  NBB
originated  $15,515  and  sold  $15,027   to  investors,  compared  to  $15,084
originated  and  $16,444  sold in  1994.   Every  contract  with  each investor
contains  certain recourse  language.    In general,  NBB  may be  required  to
repurchase a previously sold mortgage loan if there is major noncompliance with
defined  loan   origination  or  documentation   standards,  including   fraud,
negligence or material misstatement in the loan documents.  Repurchase may also
be  required if necessary  governmental loan  guarantees are canceled  or never
issued, or if an investor is forced to buy back a loan after it has been resold
as  a  part of  a  loan pool.    In addition,  NBB  may have  an  obligation to
repurchase a loan if the mortgagor has defaulted early  in the loan term.  This
potential default period is approximately twelve months after sale of a loan to
the investor.  Sold loans with potential recourse totaled approximately $15,027
at December 31, 1995.

Note 16: Concentrations of Credit Risk
   NBB  does a general banking  business, serving the  commercial, agricultural
and  personal banking needs  of its customers in  its trade territory, commonly
referred to as  the New River  Valley, which consists  of Montgomery and  Giles
Counties,  Virginia and portions  of adjacent counties.   Operating results are
closely  correlated with  the economic  trends within  this area which  are, in
turn, influenced by  the area's three  largest employers, Virginia  Polytechnic

                                      -39-<PAGE>
Institute  and State University, the Radford Army Ammunition Plant and Hoechst-
Celanese.  Other industries include a wide variety of  manufacturing and retail
and service concerns.   The ultimate collectibility of  the loan portfolios and
the recovery of the carrying amounts of repossessed property are susceptible to
changes in the market conditions of  this area.  Real estate construction loans
are concentrated within  NBB's trade  territory.  The  commercial portfolio  is
diversified  with no  significant  concentrations  of  credit within  a  single
industry.  As of December  31, 1995 and 1994, approximately $31 million and $24
million,  respectively, of  the commercial  loan portfolio  consisted of  loans
secured by commercial real estate.  Loans to individuals included approximately
$22 million and $18 million, respectively, of loans secured by vehicles.  As of
December  31,  1995  and 1994,  the  real  estate  mortgage portfolio  included
approximately $21 million of  residential mortgage loans secured by  1-4 family
properties.
   NBB  has established operating  policies relating to the  credit process and
collateral in loan originations.   Loans to purchase real and personal property
are  generally collateralized  by the  related property  and with  loan amounts
established based  on certain  percentage limitations  of the  property's total
stated  or appraised  value.    Credit  approval is  primarily  a  function  of
collateral  and  the  evaluation  of  the  creditworthiness  of the  individual
borrower or project based on available financial information.

Note 17: Fair Value of Financial Instruments
   The estimated fair values  of Bankshares' financial instruments  at December
31, 1995 and 1994 are as follows:

   Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant
market  information and  information  about the  financial  instrument.   These
estimates do  not  reflect any  premium  or  discount that  could  result  from
offering for  sale at  one  time Bankshares'  entire holdings  of a  particular
financial  instrument.  Because no  market exists for  a significant portion of
Bankshares' financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgements
regarding future expected  loss experience, current  economic conditions,  risk
characteristics  of various  financial instruments  and other  factors.   These
estimates are  subjective in nature  and involve  uncertainties and matters  of
significant judgement  and  therefore  cannot  be  determined  with  precision.
Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates.


                                      -40-<PAGE>
   Fair  value  estimates  are  based  on  existing  on-and  off-balance  sheet
financial  instruments without attempting to estimate  the value of anticipated
future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered
financial instruments.   Significant assets that  are not considered  financial
assets  include  deferred  tax assets  and  bank  premises and  equipment.   In
addition,  the tax ramifications related  to the realization  of the unrealized
gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have
not been considered in the estimates.

Note 18: Pending Affiliation and Purchase Transaction
   In August  1995, Bankshares  and the Bank  of Tazewell County  (BTC) entered
into  an  affiliation  agreement,  whereby  Bankshares  and  BTC  would  merge.
Stockholders of Bankshares would  receive an additional .11129 share  of common
stock for each of their shares and stockholders of  BTC would receive one share
of  Bankshares common stock for each of their shares.  The agreement is subject
to approval of stockholders of BTC and regulatory authorities.  At December 31,
1995,  BTC  had  assets  of  approximately  $178  million  and  net  income  of
approximately  $2.3  million  for  the  year  ended  December 31,  1995.    The
affiliation is anticipated to be accounted for as a pooling-of-interests and to
become effective in the second quarter of 1996.
   On November 23, 1993, NBB entered into an agreement to purchase the deposits
and certain fixed assets of the Pembroke Office of First Union National Bank of
Virginia.  Settlement  of this purchase agreement  occurred on April 16,  1994,
with the  assumption of $14,514 in  total deposits and $33  in accrued interest
payable.  In conjunction  with this purchase,  deposit intangibles of $908  are
being amortized on a straight-line basis over a ten-year period and goodwill of
$447 is being amortized on a straight-line basis over a fifteen-year period.

Note 19: Future Accounting Considerations
   In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment  of Long-lived Assets and for  Long-lived Assets
to  be Disposed  of."   SFAS No.  121 requires  companies to  review long-lived
assets and  certain identifiable intangibles to  be held, used or  disposed of,
for  impairment whenever events or  changes in circumstances  indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.   Bankshares is required to
adopt  this  statement  in 1996.    Bankshares believes  the  adoption  of this
statement  will not  have a  significant effect  on its  consolidated financial
statements.

On  September 21,  1995, the  Boards accepted  with  regret the  resignation of
Director John M.  Barringer after  more than forty  years of distinguished  and
dedicated service.  Through the years Mr. Barringer's contributions to the bank
have been  valuable and numerous, and  his fellow Directors very  much miss his
knowledge, experience and wry sense of humor.
