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

     Net interest income at the  end of the first three months of 1999  was    
$4,653,000, an increase of $378,000 or 8.84% 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  factor 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.

     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" such demand  deposits and capital.   The following
table sets forth the company's net interest spread for the periods shown.


                                    March 31,              December 31,

 Yield on earning assets         8.18%        8.38%        8.25%        8.24%
 Cost of interest-bearing
  liabilities                    4.26%        4.50%        4.48%        4.43%
                             --------      -------      -------      ------- 
 Net interest spread             3.92%        3.88%        3.77%        3.81%
                             ========      =======      =======      ======= 

     As can be  seen by the table shown above, the  yield on earning assets for
the first  quarter of 1999  has declined by seven  basis points from  the year-
ended  1998.   The cost  to  fund earning  assets declined  by seventeen  basis
points.   These elements combined to  produce a ten basis  point improvement in
the net interest margin.

     The  decline  in the  yield on  earning assets  and  the cost  of interest
bearing  liabilities is due in part to a  declining rate environment.  The cost
of interest bearing liabilities which declined to a greater degree was directly
affected by certain management efforts to contain interest expense.

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.


                                      -12-<PAGE>

     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
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
$232,000 for the first quarter  of 1999, up $211,000  over the same period  the
prior  year.   The ratio  of  the allowance  for loan  losses to  loans  net of
unearned income has  remained relatively stable.  The net charge-offs ratio for
the first quarter of 1999 was lower than most of the other periods shown.

     It should  be noted that loans  past due 90  days or more have  risen 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 at present 90 days
or more past due.   Management believes, at present, that these credits  can be
recovered without loss.  At March 31, 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.


                                      -14-<PAGE>

     The total amount of  foreclosed properties at March 31,  1999 and December
31, 1998 was $628,000.  At March 31, 1999 approximately $267,000 of that amount
was held  by the Company's NBB affiliate.  The property consists of undeveloped
real estate originally intended to be a  residential subdivision.  The property
has been held for a period in excess of five years.  Three other properties are
being held by the Company's BTC affiliate.  With the exception of one property,
which  is  being  carried  for  approximately  $20,000,  these  properties  are
relatively recent acquisitions and timely disposal is expected.

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  March 31, 1999  was $766,000, an
increase of $100,000 or 15.02% over the same period in 1998.

     Service  charges on deposit  accounts were $261,000  at March  31, 1999, a
decrease of $14,000 or 5.09% from the same period in 1998.

     Other service  charges declined by $5,000 when March 31, 1999 and 1998 are
compared.  

     Credit card fees grew  by $25,000 or 18.12% when the first three months of
1999 and 1998 are compared.   Continued growth in volume was the  primary cause
of this increase.

     Trust income increased  by 31.25% when compared to the  first three 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 $32,000 for the first three 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 and
$9,000 for gains on the sale of repossessed autos.

     Net  securities gains and  losses decreased $7,000 when  1999 and 1998 are
compared.   The  income in this  category reflects  securities called  prior to
maturity.

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

     Noninterest expenses for the  first three months of 1999  were $2,926,000,
an increase of $230,000 or 8.53% over the first three months of 1998.

     Salaries and fringe benefits were $1,559,000 at the end of the first three
months  of 1999.   This represents an  increase of $160,000 or  11.44% over the
first three  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  no  salaries  expense
associated  with the  acquisition.  The  remainder of  the increase  was due to
normal merit increases and other personnel related costs.


                                      -15-<PAGE>

     Occupancy  expenses increased  by $11,000  or 4.47%  when the  first three
months of 1999 and 1998 are  compared.  Acquisition of the previously mentioned
Galax Branch contributed to this increase.

     Data processing expense increased by $3,000 or 1.53%.

     Credit card expense rose by $28,000 of 21.88% in the first three 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  March  31, 1999  were  $727,000, which  represents  an
increase of  $42,000 or  6.13% 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  March 31, 1999 were $442,801,000,  an increase of
$41,791,000 or 10.42% from March 31, 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.

     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


                                      -17-<PAGE>

its  remaining securities until maturity.  The Company used this opportunity to
transfer approximately $20,516,000 in securities to held for sale category.

     This  shift will increase the Company's flexibility to deal with liquidity
and interest rate sensitivity.

     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 $4,706,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1999.  Net cash used in investing activities was $10,724,000 with the
majority of that cash  invested in securities and loans.  Net  cash provided by
financing activities was $5,412,000.  Net cash decreased $606,000 from December
31, 1998.

     The Company actively manages its  liquidity position through its investing
activities.   At March  31, 1999, overnight funds  which includes Federal Funds
sold and funds on deposit with the Federal Home Loan  Bank totaled $16,630,000.
In addition, securities with a remaining maturity of less than one year totaled
$33,644,000.    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 $72,427,000 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.   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.

     On March 15, 1999, the Company announced a tender offer in which it sought
to repurchase  up to 200,000  shares of  its stock  at $28.00 per  share.   The
impact  of  this offer  is  not expected  to  materially  impact 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.

     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 increased $784,000 or 1.34%  from December 31,
1998.   During  the  first three  months  of 1999,  retained  earnings grew  by
$1,679,000.  Accumulated comprehensive income decreased stockholders' equity by
$881,000.   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  $14,000.   The  common stock  subject  to put  option  is
affected by the current market price of Bankshares' common stock as well as the
number of shares outstanding.

     The following table sets forth the various ratios by which bank capital is
measured.  Bankshares and its subsidiaries continue to be well capitalized.

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.

     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.


                                      -20-<PAGE>

     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.

     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.

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 March 31,
1999 approximated $23,518,000.

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
March  31, 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 March 31, 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, 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.
