     Substantially all  of  Bankshares'  retained  earnings  are  undistributed
earnings  of  its  banking  subsidiaries,  which  are   restricted  by  various
regulations administered by federal  and state bank regulatory agencies.   Bank
regulatory  agencies  restrict,  without  prior approval,  the  total  dividend
payments of a bank  in any calendar year to  the bank's retained net  income of
that year  to date, as  defined, combined with its  retained net income  of the
preceding two years, less any required  transfers to surplus.  At September 30,
1999, retained  net income from the  Company's NBB affiliate which  was free of
such restriction amounted to approximately $2,506.

     At  present, no dividends are  available from the  Company's BTC affiliate
without prior regulatory approval.  BTC remains well capitalized and management
does not believe that such approvals will be withheld.

Note (5)  Stock Option Plan

In  April 1999,  the  National  Bankshares, Inc.  1999  Stock Option  Plan  was
approved  by the Company's shareholders.  The  purpose of the Stock Option Plan
is  to provide  additional incentive  to  key employees  in the  form of  stock
options.   The determination of key employees and the  amount of awards will be
determined by the Stock Option Committee of the Board of Directors.  On June 4,
1999,   Form  S-8  was  filed  with  the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission
registering  250,000 shares under  the Plan.   To date, no  stock option awards
have been granted.

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

     Net interest income  at the end of the first  nine months of 1999 was
$14,341, an increase of $1,041 or 7.83% 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.

                                  September 30,            December 31,
                                 1999       1998         1998        1997
                              ---------   ---------  ------------------------
  Yield on earning assets        8.12%        8.32%        8.25%         8.24%
  Cost to fund earning assets    3.25%        3.52%        3.50%         3.50%
                              --------     -------      -------       -------
  Net interest margin            4.87%        4.80%        4.75%         4.74%
                              ========     =======      =======       =======


     As can be  seen by the table shown above, the  yield on earning assets for
the  nine months ended September 30, 1999 has decreased by 13 basis points from
the year-ended  1998.  The  cost to fund earning  assets decreased by  25 basis
points.   These elements combined to produce  a 12 basis point  increase in the
net interest margin.

     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.

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

 Yield on earning assets         8.12%        8.32%        8.25%         8.24%

  liabilities                    4.15%        4.51%        4.48%         4.43%
                             --------      -------      -------       -------
 Net interest spread             3.97%        3.81%        3.77%         3.81%
                             ========      =======      =======       =======


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.



                                      -19-<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.

     It should be noted that loans past due 90 days or more have increased when
compared to prior period data.  Included in loans past due 90 days or  more are
two credits  with the same borrower totaling approximately $1.7 million.  As of
September  30, 1999, these  loans are well  collaterialized and  currently in a
work-out  process.  Management believes  the work-out will  be completed during
the fourth quarter.   However, should circumstances change and  consumation not
occur as expected, these loans may be placed on nonaccrual status.

     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 allowance.

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 September 30, 1999  was $2,578, an
increase of $332 or 14.78% over the same period in 1998.

     Service charges on deposit  accounts were $999 at  September 30, 1999,  an
increase of  $121 or 13.78% from the  same period in 1998.   This was primarily
due to an  increase in the level  of account service charges, return  check and
overdraft fees and ATM transaction fees.

     Other service charges  increased by $33 when  September 30, 1999  and 1998
are compared.

     Credit card fees increased by $106 or 21.72% when the first nine months of
1999 and  1998 are compared.  Continued growth in  volume was the primary cause
of this increase.

     Trust income increased by 27.08% when compared to the first nine 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,
decreased by $6 for the first nine months of 1999.

     Net  securities gains  and losses  decreased  $75 when  1999 and  1998 are
compared.  The income in  this category primarily reflects gains and  losses on
securities called prior to maturity.









                                      -20-<PAGE>

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

     Noninterest expenses for  the first nine  months of  1999 were $8,897,  an
increase of $571 or 6.86% over the first nine months of 1998.

     Salaries  and fringe  benefits were $4,552  at the  end of  the first nine
months of 1999.   This represents an increase  of $234 or 5.42% over  the first
nine 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  lesser  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  $99 or 13.36% when the first  nine months
of  1999 and 1998 are compared.   Acquisition of the previously mentioned Galax
Branch  contributed to  this  increase.   Occupancy  expenses are  expected  to
increase  with the  addition of a  new facility  in the third  quarter of 1999.
This addition was  built to serve  as a corporate  headquarters and to  provide
office space to replace leased properties.  The facility also contains a branch
bank of NBB.

     Data processing expense increased by $54 or 8.96%.

     Credit card expense increased by $92 or 20.63% in the first nine months of
1999.  Increases  in overall volume contributed to this  increase.  Included in
the category was approximately $4 in expense related to the reissuance of debit
cards.  The next scheduled reissuance will be in four years.

     Other  expenses at  September 30,  1999 were  $2,222, which  represents an
increase of $88 or 4.12% 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 September 30, 1999 were $445,384,  an increase of
$30,275 or 7.29% from September 30, 1998.   A portion of this increase was  due
to the  acquisition of  the Galax  branch in the  third quarter  of 1998.   The
Company also  continues  to experience  satisfactory  growth in  deposits  from
nonacquisition related sources.

     In  the  third quarter  of  1999, the  Office of  the  Controller Currency
announced  the  closure of  a National  Banking  Institution in  Keystone, West
Virginia.  As a result of the  closure, depositors in that area were forced  to
seek banking  relationships with other institutions  in the general  area.  The
Company's BTC affiliate was a benefactor of this event.

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









                                      -23-<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 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  $8,756 for  the nine months  ended
September 30, 1999.  Net cash used in investing activities was $26,779 with the
majority  of that  cash invested  in securities and  loans.   Net cash  used in
financing activities was $15,501.  Net cash decreased $2,522 from  December 31,
1998.

     During the  first nine months 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.

     The Company actively manages its  liquidity position through its investing
activities.  In addition, securities with a remaining maturity of less than one
year  totaled $8,191.   Liquidity  is also  managed through  the management  of
deposit liabilities, in particular,  volatile funds such as time  deposits over
$100.  The amount of such deposits is largely dependent on the rate of interest
offered.   The Company had  approximately $35,060 in  such deposits due  within
twelve  months.   Other  types of  deposits  such as  interest-bearing  demand,
savings  and  time deposits  less than  $100 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.

     At  present the Company is relying on short-term borrowings for liquidity.
While the  procurement  of additional  deposits  remains an  option,  increased
interest  expense would  likely result,  as  interest rates  would  have to  be
increased  to attract  new  deposits.   The increase  in  interest rates  would
eventually affect  the  existing  deposit  base  creating  additional  interest
expense.

     The Company completed construction of  a new office building in  the third
quarter.    This  facility  will  serve   as  corporate  headquarters,  provide
additional office  space to replace existing  leased properties and also  add a
branch facility.  This project did not have a  material impact on the Company's
liquidity.






                                      -24-<PAGE>

     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 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 $7,361 or  12.58% from December  31,
1998.   During the first  nine months of  1999, retained earnings  decreased by
$3,160.   Retained earnings experienced this net decrease due to the payment of
a dividend ($1,372), the  repurchase of 275,856 shares of common stock ($7,071)
offset  by earnings  of  $5,283.   Accumulated  comprehensive income  decreased
stockholders' equity by $3,509.   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.  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.  See Note (4) for the Company's Risk
Based Capital Ratio's.

Tender Offer
- ------------

     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 herein.

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.


                                      -26-<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, 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.

     Net Income for the third quarter of 1999  was $1,804 which represents an increase of $133  or 7.96%
over the third quarter of 1998.

     The return on average assets for the quarter-ended  September 30, 1999 and September 30, 1998 was
1.60% and  1.56%, respectively.  The return  on average equity for the third  quarter of 1999 was 13.64%
and  11.37% for the third quarter of 1998.

     The improvement in the return on average equity was in part due to an increase in net income and to
a reduction in average equity as a result of a tender offer completed in the second quarter of 1999.

     Earnings per share for  the third quarter of  1999 was $0.51, an  increase of $0.07 over the  third
quarter in 1998.

                                                  -28-<PAGE>

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

     Net  interest income for the third quarter  of 1999 was $4,910 an increase
of  $350 over  the third  quarter of  1998.   The principal  cause of  this net
increase was loan volume.

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

     The provision for  loan losses for the third quarter  was $371 compared to
$225 in 1999.  As  previously mentioned, it is expected that bad  debts expense
will continue to  increase in 1999 due to loan growth  and the need to maintain
an adequate overall allowance.

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

     Noninterest income for the third quarter of 1999 was $956,  an increase of
$202  or  26.79%  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.

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

     Noninterest expense for the  quarter ended September 30, 1999  was $3,025,
an increase of  $245 or 8.81% over the same period in 1998.  Occupancy expenses
increased by  $63 when compared  to the  third quarter of  1998.  In  the third
quarter  1999  the Company  opened  a  new facility  to  serve  as a  corporate
headquarters and an additional  NBB branch, which contributed to  the increase.
It is expected  that this category  will increase further  as a result of  that
addition.

     Data processing expense also showed an increase.  In the fourth quarter of
1998 the Company updated its computer mainframe and converted its BTC affiliate
to  the same system utilized by NBB.   Accordingly, additional costs related to
this project are included in 1999 third quarter income only.

Balance Sheet
- -------------

     Total  average quarterly assets for  the three months  ended September 30,
1999 were $452,176  an increase of $24,451  or 5.72% over the  third quarter of
1998.  Total average quarterly deposits increased $26,220 or 7.15% when the two
periods are  compared.   Reference  is  made to  previous comments  related  to
deposit growth at the Company's BTC affiliate.

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 September
30, 1999 approximated $6,463.

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
September  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.

(1)  The Company  is sensitive to interest rate changes, as liabilities generally reprice or mature
     before  interest-earning assets.  The above  gap table  reflects the  Company's rate-sensitive
     position at  September 30, 1999, 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.
(3)  Call features  on certain securities, if exercised  could have the effect  of materially shortening
     the average life of the investment portfolio.  The exercise of a call feature is dependent upon the
     rate environment.  The call decision is at the issuers discretion and ultimate benefit.  Securities
     available for sale are shown at amortized cost.

     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 for the nine months ended September
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.
