Net Interest Income
- -------------------

     Net interest  income at the end  of the first  six months of  1999 was
$9,431,000, an increase of $691,000 or 7.91% over the same period in 1998.

     The net interest  margin is  one of  the primary  ratios used  by banks  to
measure net interest  income.  The net interest margin is  composed of the yield
on earning assets on a fully tax  equivalent basis less the cost to fund earning
assets.   The funding  cost  factors in  interest bearing  deposits  as well  as
capital and demand  deposits.  The following table sets  forth the Company's net
interest margin for the period specified.

                                     June 30,               December 31,
                                 1999        1998        1998         1997
                               ---------  ---------  ------------ ------------
  Yield on earning assets         8.10%       8.35%        8.25%         8.24%
  Cost to fund earning assets     3.26%       3.52%        3.50%         3.50%
                               --------    -------      -------       -------
  Net interest margin             4.84%       4.83%        4.75%         4.74%
                               ========    =======      =======       =======

     A second measure of  net interest income is  the net interest spread.   The
ratio consists of the yield  on earning assets on  a fully tax equivalent  basis
less  the cost of interest bearing liabilities.  It does not reflect the benefit
received  from "free  funds"  provided  by demand  deposits  and capital.    The
following table sets  forth the  company's net interest  spread for the  periods
shown.


                                     June 30,               December 31,
                                 1999        1998        1998         1997
                              ---------   ---------  ------------ ------------

  Yield on earning assets        8.10%        8.35%        8.25%         8.24%
  Cost of interest-bearing
   liabilities                   4.18%        4.50%        4.48%         4.43%
                             --------      -------      -------       -------
  Net interest spread            3.92%        3.85%        3.77%         3.81%
                             ========      =======      =======       =======

     As can be  seen by the table shown  above, the yield on earning  assets for
the six months ended June 30, 1999 has declined by fifteen basis points from the
year-ended 1998.   The cost to fund earning assets declined by twenty-four basis
points.   These elements combined to  produce a nine basis  point improvement in
the net interest margin.

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 loan  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 analyses of large
credits and also  conducts credit review activities that provide management with
an early  warning of asset quality  deterioration.  Changing trends  in the loan


                                      -14-<PAGE>

mix are also  evaluated in determining  the adequacy of  the allowance for  loan
losses.  Loan  loss and other industry indications related  to asset quality are
presented in the following table.

     As  can be seen by the  preceding table, the provision  for loan losses was
$469,000 for the period ending  June 30, 1999, up $375,000 over the  same period
the prior year.   The ratio  of the allowance  for loan losses  to loans net  of
unearned income  declined by four  basis points.   The net charge-offs  ratio at
period-end was .21%.

     It  should be noted that loans past due 90 days or more have increased when
compared to prior  period data.  As  mentioned in the Company's  1998 Form 10-K,
the Company has two additional credits totaling approximately $1.7 million which
are experiencing  collection problems.   These  loans are 90  days or  more past
due  at June  30, 1999.  Management believes, at present, that these credits can
be recovered  without loss.   At  June 30, 1999  both loans  were on  an accrual
basis.

     Overall, it  is expected  that provisions  for loan  loss  expense will  be
higher  in 1999.   Such expense will be  required by strong  loan growth and the
need to maintain an adequate  overall reserve.  Further additions could  be made
necessary  by unforeseen losses and/or a change in the circumstances surrounding
the two credits mentioned above.

Noninterest Income
- ------------------

     Noninterest income is  an important source of  the company's income.   This
category  is comprised  of service  charges on  deposit accounts,  other service
charges  and  fees, credit  card  fees,  trust income  and  other  income.   Net
securities gains and losses are also included in this category.

     Noninterest income  for the period ended  June 30, 1999 was  $1,622,000, an
increase of $130,000 or 8.71% over the same period in 1998.

     Service  charges on  deposit accounts  were $608,000 at  June 30,  1999, an
increase of $25,000 or 4.29% from  the same period in 1998.  This  was primarily
due to  an  increase in  the  volume of  return checks  and  overdraft fees  and
enhanced collection efforts.

     Other service charges increased by $14,000  when June 30, 1999 and 1998 are
compared.

     Credit card fees  increased by $59,000 or 18.55% when  the first six months
of 1999 and 1998 are compared.  Continued growth in volume was the primary cause
of this increase.

     Trust income increased by 24.93%  when compared to the first six  months of
1998.   Trust income is dependent  on market conditions as well  as the types of
accounts being  handled  at any  given  point in  time.   The  level  of  estate
business, for example, cannot be predicted with any degree of preciseness.

     Other  income, which is comprised of various miscellaneous types of income,
increased by $5,000 for the first six  months of 1999.  Included in other income
in 1999 was approximately $12,000 which  represented a recovery of principal for
a bond charged-off in prior year.

     Net  securities gains and losses  decreased $61,000 when  1999 and 1998 are
compared.  The  income in this category reflects gains  and losses on securities
called prior to maturity.

Noninterest Expense
- -------------------

     Noninterest  expenses for the first six months  of 1999 were $5,872,000, an
increase of $326,000 or 5.88% over the first six months of 1998.

     Salaries and  fringe benefits were $3,066,000  at the end of  the first six
months of 1999.  This represents an increase of $208,000 or 7.28% over the first
six months of 1998.   A portion of this  increase was due to the  acquisition of
the Galax  branch.  This  facility was acquired  in the second  quarter of 1998.
Accordingly,  1998 data  contains  only  a  small  amount  of  salaries  expense
associated  with the  acquisition.   The remainder  of the  increase was  due to
normal merit increases and other personnel related costs.

     Occupancy expenses increased by  $36,000 or 7.33% when the first six months
of 1999  and 1998 are compared.   Acquisition of the  previously mentioned Galax
Branch contributed to this increase.

     Data processing expense increased by $9,000 or 2.22%.





                                      -17-<PAGE>

     Credit card expense increased by $51,000 or 17.53% in the  first six months
of  1999.   Increases  in  overall  volume also  contributed  to this  increase.
Included in  the category  was approximately  $4,000 in  expense related  to the
reissuance of debit cards.  The next scheduled reissuance will be in four years.

     Other  expenses at  June  30, 1999  were  $1,473,000, which  represents  an
increase of $31,000  or 2.15%  over the  same period  in 1998.   Other  expenses
include  various types  of costs.   Examples  of expense  accounts  included are
telephone,   franchise  taxes,   stationary   and   supplies,  market   expense,
correspondent charges and numerous others.  Some expenses  included in this area
represent  accrued expense for anticipated  expenditures, while others  are on a
cash or  pay as incurred basis.  Some categories are within management's ability
to control while others can only be controlled to a degree.

     Total  average assets at  June 30, 1999  were $444,256,000,  an increase of
$35,419,000 or 8.66% from June 30, 1998.  A portion of this increase was due
to  the acquisition  of the  Galax branch in  the second  quarter of  1998.  The
Company  also  continues  to  experience satisfactory  growth  in  deposits from
nonacquisition related sources.



                                      -18-<PAGE>

     A comparison of the loan portfolio at June 30, 1999 and 1998 indicates that
construction  and  commercial  loans  have  experienced  the  greatest  increase
followed by  real estate and loans to individuals which have grown only slightly
as part of total loans.

     At present the Company is  relying on short-term borrowings for  liquidity.
It is  anticipated  that this  condition  will  be resolved  through  securities
portfolio maturities and/or calls.  While the procurement of additional deposits
remains an option, increased interest  expense would likely result, as  interest
rates would have to increase to attract new deposits.





                                      -19-<PAGE>

     As shown by the  above table, management has shifted  a substantial portion
of its investment portfolio to  the available for sale  category.  A portion  of
this  shift  was  accomplished through  calls,  maturities  of  bonds and  their
subsequent reinvestment.   In the fourth  quarter of  1998, the Company  adopted
Statement of  Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments  and hedging Activities".  The statement allowed, upon adoption, the
transfer of securities from the held to maturity classification to the available
for sale without calling into question management's intent to hold its remaining
securities  until maturity.    The Company  used  this opportunity  to  transfer
approximately $20,516,000 in securities to held for sale category.

     The overall mix of loan and deposits has remained roughly the same.

Liquidity
- ---------

     Liquidity  is the  ability  to  provide  sufficient  cash  levels  to  meet
financial commitments and to fund loan demand and deposit withdrawals.  Net cash
provided by operating activities  was $6,324,000 for the  six months ended  June
30,  1999.   Net  cash used  in  investing activities  was  $8,061,000 with  the
majority of  that cash  invested in  securities  and loans.   Net  cash used  in
financing  activities was $452,000.  Net cash decreased $2,189,000 from December
31, 1998.

     During the first half of 1999 the Company repurchased 275,856 of its common
shares at $28.00 per share.  Cash used for the purchase and related expenses was
$7,761,000.

     The Company actively  manages its liquidity position  through its investing
activities.   In addition, securities with a remaining maturity of less than one
year totaled $28,573,000.   Liquidity is also managed through  the management of
deposit  liabilities, in particular, volatile  funds such as  time deposits over
$100,000.  The  amount of  such deposits  is largely  dependent on  the rate  of
interest  offered.  The Company  had approximately $35,758,000  in such deposits
due  within twelve  months.   Other types  of deposits such  as interest-bearing
demand, savings  and time deposits less than $100,000 are less volatile and less
rate dependent historically.

     Short-term  liquidity  needs  can  also  be  satisfied  by  way  of  credit
facilities  established with correspondent banks, the Federal Home Loan Bank and
Federal Reserve.  Longer  term borrowings, if necessary, can be obtained through
the Federal Home Loan Bank.

     NBB is  in process of constructing a  new building which is  expected to be
completed  in the third quarter.   This facility  will provide additional office
space  to replace  existing leased  properties and  also add a  branch facility.
This  project  is not  expected  to  have a  material  impact  on the  Company's
liquidity.

     The Year 2000  also has liquidity implications.   Management is fully aware
of  customer   apprehension  associated   with  the   Year  2000   date  change.
Accordingly, it is management's plan to provide for additional liquidity as part
of its  contingency planning processes.   Please refer to the  above information
related to the establishment of  credit facilities and the Year 2000  discussion
which follows for the steps the Company is taking to  allay unwarranted customer
concerns.





                                      -20-<PAGE>

     Management is not aware of any other trend, commitment or  events that will
result  in or that  are reasonably likely  to result in a  decrease in liquidity
that  would  be adverse  and to  a degree  that  operations would  be materially
impaired.

Capital Resources
- -----------------

     Total stockholders' equity decreased $8,623,000 or 14.74% from December 31,
1998.   During  the first  six months  of 1999,  retained earnings  decreased by
$4,964,000.  Retained earnings experienced this net decrease due to  the payment
of a  dividend ($1,372,000), the  repurchase of 275,856  shares of common  stock
($7,071,000) offset by earnings of $3,479,000.  Accumulated comprehensive income
decreased stockholders' equity by $2,967,000.  This category is comprised solely
of changes in  the net  unrealized gains  (losses) on  securities available  for
sale.  Common stock subject to put option increased by $2,000.  The common stock
subject to put option  is affected by the current market  price of the Company's
common stock as well as the number of shares outstanding.

     On March 15, 1999, the Company announced a stock tender offer.  The Company
sought  to repurchase  200,000 shares,  but reserved  the right  to purchase  an
additional two  percent of its outstanding  shares of common stock.   The tender
off closed on  April 30, 1999.  The offer resulted  in the repurchase of 275,856
shares.   The  Company's Form 13E-4  filed March  15, 1999,  amended 13E-4 filed
March  31, 1999  and the  Final Amendment  filed May  24, 1999  are incorporated

Year 2000
- ---------

     The Company recognizes the risks and  challenges presented by the impact of
the century date change on information processing and other microchip controlled
systems.     The  Year  2000  ("Y2K")  involves  several  issues  for  financial
institutions.  The Company's  own internal information processing and  microchip
controlled systems, as well as  those of its major service vendors, must  be Y2K
compliant.  Banks  face credit,  earnings and liquidity  risk should  commercial
loan  customers or large depositors suffer significant business disruptions as a
result of the impact of computer failures in their own operations or in those of
their suppliers or customers.  Banks could encounter temporary funding shortages
if  customers withdraw  unusually large  sums of  cash  because they  are unduly
concerned about the effects of Y2K.  And, although management believes the level
of  counterpart trading  risk is low,  there could  be a  temporary or permanent
effect on the investment portfolio resulting  from the negative impact of Y2K on
the underlying entities.

     Both of  the  Company's  bank  subsidiaries have  established  Y2K  project
management teams that  have developed  Y2K plans with  assessment, testing,  and
remediation phases.  The internal audit department is conducting Y2K audits, and
both banks  are subject to  the guidelines promulgated by  the Federal Financial
Institutions  Examination Counsel (FFIEC)  and to  regular Year  2000 compliance
examinations by their respective federal regulators.

     The assessment  phase outlined in both  NBB's and BTC's Y2K  plans has been
completed.   The banks have identified all internal mission critical information
technology  and microchip  controlled  systems.   Outside  vendors that  provide
mission critical service to the institutions have also been identified.

     Because  of  their importance  to  daily  business operations,  substantial
attention  has  been  focused  on  the  banks' customer  information  processing
hardware and software.  In 1997, in the normal course of business, NBB purchased
a new Unisys  host computer and peripherals and installed  the latest version of
its Information Technology, Inc. (ITI)  software.  In the last quarter  of 1998,
BTC converted from its  previous in-house information processing system.  BTC is
now  processed using  NBB's hardware  and  software.   The NBB  system has  been
tested, including century date rollover and other critical dates, and validation
of the ITI application is complete.






                                      -22-<PAGE>

     Each bank  has  identified  as  mission  critical  independent  information
technology systems in their  Trust Departments.  NBB has  successfully completed
proxy testing of its external service  provider, and BTC has successfully tested
its  internal system.    Microchip controlled  bank  security systems  are  also
mission critical.  Testing of these  systems at both banks determined that minor
renovations  were necessary  at  three  offices.    Those  renovations  are  now
complete.

     The  Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond has provided comprehensive procedures
and  instructions for interface testing.  During  the first quarter of 1999, NBB
and  BTC successfully  tested all  utilized services,  including wire  transfer,
automated clearing house and savings bonds.

     Both NBB  and BTC deal with  outside vendors that provide  mission critical
support for  bank card processing and  ATM servicing.  The  banks are monitoring
these vendors'  progress to assure  their Y2K readiness.   The vendors regularly
provide status reports and testing criteria.  In the first quarter of 1999, both
BTC  and NBB converted to a  new ATM servicer.  Testing  of that application was
successfully concluded.

     Each bank has developed and implemented programs to assess the level of Y2K
risk  among large  loan customers.   NBB's Credit  Review department  performs a
precredit analysis of all new large loans  made by both banks.  An assessment of
the potential  effects of the Year 2000 on the credit-worthiness of borrowers is
a  part of this  analysis.  BTC  is asking new  commercial borrowers to  sign an
agreement to insure compliance with minimum standards with regard to Y2K issues.
That bank  is also following  up with  these borrowers to  insure that  promised
deadlines  are met.   Both NBB and  BTC have also completed  assessments of Year
2000 preparedness among existing large commercial loan customers.

     The  banks have ongoing initiatives designed to educate customers about Y2K
issues and to  allay any unwarranted concerns about the  safety and soundness of
the institutions.  Leaflets discussing the topic were sent to all customers, and
the banks have posted information on  their Web sites.  NBB held a  public forum
directed  at  small  businesses and  has  established  a  toll free  information
hotline.   Employee  training  and  awareness  campaigns  have  been  completed.
Additional employee training and public education efforts are planned throughout
the rest of 1999.

     Contingency  plans have  been  drafted  by  NBB  and  BTC  to  1)  identify
alternatives if mission critical  applications do not meet the  banks' readiness
plan, and 2)  develop a course  of action to  assure business continuity  in the
event there  are  system failures  on  critical dates.   Both  institutions  are
providing their Boards of Directors with regular reports on Y2K  initiatives and
preparedness, and both Boards have approved bank contingency plans.

     At this  time, National Bankshares, Inc.  believes that in the  most likely
worst-case  scenarios,  Y2K will  not have  a material  effect on  the Company's
operations, liquidity  or  financial  condition.    Although  contingency  plans
address multiple  alternative scenarios, the  Company believes it  is impossible
for  any  business  to address  the  potentially  unlimited  number of  possible
circumstances  relating  to Y2K  issues.   Even  though it  is  highly unlikely,
National Bankshares  recognizes  that  if  its Y2K  assessment,  remediation  or
contingency plans prove to be  inadequate, this could have a material  impact on
its  operations and  therefore  result  in  a material  adverse  effect  on  the
Company's results of operations and financial condition.

     The  Company's recently  completed upgrade  of internal  processing systems
does enhance Y2K preparedness.  However, the major goals  of the upgrade were to
provide a shared  information processing  system for affiliates  and to  provide
additional processing capacity and the ability to  use the most advanced version
of software available.  The costs of the upgrade were substantial, but the total
of costs of the upgrade directly related to the Y2K component was not material.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 1999
- --------------------------------------------------------------

     Net Income  for the second quarter of  1999 was $1,800,000 which represents
an increase of $98,000 or 5.76% over the second quarter of 1998.

     The return on  average assets for the quarter-ended June  30, 1999 and June
30, 1998 was 1.61% and  1.64%, respectively.  The  return on average equity  for
the second quarter of 1999 was 12.62% and 11.94% for the second quarter of 1998.

     Earnings per share for the second quarter of 1999 was $0.50  an increase of
$0.05 over the second quarter in 1998.

Net Interest Income
- -------------------

     Net  interest income  for  the second  quarter  of 1999  was $4,778,000  an
increase of $313,000  over the second quarter  of 1998.  The principal  cause of
this net increase was loan volume.

Provision for Loan Losses
- -------------------------

     The  provision for loan losses for the second quarter was $237,000 compared
to $73,000  in 1999.   As previously  mentioned, it  is expected that  bad debts
expense will continue to increase in 1999 due to loan growth and losses.

Noninterest Income
- ------------------

     Noninterest income for the second quarter of 1999 was $856,000, an increase
of  $30,000 or  3.63% over the  same period  last year.   While  most categories
experienced increases, securities gains and losses declined substantially.  Such
gains and losses are dependent primarily on securities with call  features.  The
security of these calls are dependent on the rate environment at the time.

Noninterest Expense
- -------------------

     Noninterest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 were $2,946,000, an
increase of $96,000 or 3.37% over the same period in 1998.  The largest increase
was in the salaries and employee benefits area.

Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Derivatives

     The Company  is not a  party to derivative financial  instruments with off-
balance sheet risks such as  futures, forwards, swaps and options.   The Company
is  a party  to  financial  instruments with  off-balance  sheet risks  such  as
commitments   to  extend  credit,  standby  letters   of  credit,  and  recourse
obligations in the normal course  of business to meet the financing needs of its
customers.   Management  does not  plan  any  future involvement  in  high  risk
derivative products.  The Company has investments in mortgage-backed securities,
collateralized  mortgage  obligations,  structured   notes  and  other   similar
instruments which are included  in securities available for sale  and securities
held  to maturity.    The  fair value  of  these investments  at  June 30,  1999
approximated $6,592,000.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

     The Company's securities and loans and its deposits are subject to interest
rate risk.   The  Company's 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.  The table below sets forth, as  of June 30, 1999, the
distribution of repricing opportunities of the Company's interest-earning assets
and  interest-bearing  liabilities, the  interest  rate  sensitivity gap  (i.e.,
interest rate sensitive  assets less interest  rate sensitive liabilities),  and
the cumulative  interest rate sensitivity  gap.  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.

     The  method  of  analysis presented  in  the  following  table has  certain
inherent shortcomings.  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.   In
addition,  loan  prepayments and  early withdrawals  of certificates  of deposit
could cause  the interest sensitivities to  vary from those which  appear on the
table.   The classification of securities  as held to maturity  or available for
sale also effects rate sensitivity.  Available for sale securities  which may be
sold can  be used to  adjust the Company's  interest rate  sensitivity position.
Finally,  call  features in  the investment  portfolio  can have  a considerable
effect.   Since  the call  decision is  dependent on  interest rate levels  at a
future point in time, the ultimate effect on interest rate sensitivity cannot be
precisely determined.  A substantial number of bonds in the investment portfolio
contain these features.

     The Company also uses simulation analysis to forecast its balance sheet and
monitor  interest  rate sensitivity.   One  test used  by  the Company  is shock
analysis,  which measures the effect  of a hypothetical,  immediate and parallel
shift in interest rates.   The following table shows the results of a rate shock
of 100, 200, and  300 basis points and the  effects on net income and  return on
average assets and return on average equity at June 30, 1999.

     Simulation  analysis  allows  the  Company  to  test  asset  and  liability
management strategies  under rising and falling  rate conditions.  As  a part of
simulation process, certain estimates and assumptions must be made dealing with,
but  not  limited to,  asset growth,  the mix  of  assets and  liabilities, rate
environment, and local and national  economic conditions.  Asset growth and  the
mix of assets can to a degree be influenced by management.  Other areas  such as
the rate environment and economic factors cannot be controlled.  For this reason
actual  results  may  vary materially  from  any  particular  forecast or  shock
analysis.

     This shortcoming  is offset to  a degree by the  periodic re-forecasting of
the balance  sheet to  reflect current trends  and economic  conditions.   Shock
analysis must also be updated periodically as  a part of the asset and liability
management process.
