Item 1.  Business.
- -----------------

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).  Except for a separate investment portfolio, Bankshares conducts all
of  its business  operations  through  its  two wholly-owned  subsidiaries,  The
National  Bank  of  Blacksburg   (NBB)  and  Bank  of  Tazewell   County  (BTC),
collectively referred to as "the Company".

   On June 1, 1996,  Bankshares issued 1,888,209 shares of its common stock in a
one-for-one exchange  for all the outstanding  common stock of Bank  of Tazewell
County, Tazewell, Virginia.  This business combination has been accounted for as
a pooling-of-interests  and, accordingly, the consolidated  financial statements
for  the periods  prior to  the combination  have been  restated to  include the
accounts and results  of operations of Bank  of Tazewell County.  There  were no
adjustments  of a  material  amount resulting  from  Bank of  Tazewell  County's
adoption of Bankshares' accounting policies.

   In May 1996,  Bankshares declared a stock split of  .11129 per share effected
in the form of  a stock dividend to the holders of  Bankshares common stock just
prior to the merger  effective date to facilitate  the one-for-one common  stock
exchange ratio.   All stockholders'  equity accounts,  share and per  share data
have been adjusted retroactively to reflect the stock split.

The National Bank of Blacksburg

   The  National Bank  of Blacksburg  was originally  chartered as  the Bank  of
Blacksburg in 1891.   Its state charter  was converted to a national  charter in
1922 and it became The National Bank of Blacksburg.  NBB operates a full-service
banking business from  its headquarters  in Blacksburg, Virginia,  and its  nine
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,
collections,  night depository,  safe  deposit, 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 personal and corporate trust services.

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

   At December 31,  1999, NBB had total  assets of $278,016.   Total deposits at
this date were $233,245.  NBB's net  income for 1999 was $4,873 which produced a
return on average  assets of 1.79% and a return  on average stockholders' equity
of 17.32%.    Refer to  footnote  11 of  the  Company's  1999 Annual  Report  to
Stockholders for NBB's risk-based capital ratios.

                                       -3-<PAGE>


Bank of Tazewell County

   The antecedents  of BTC  are in a  charter issued  on September 28,  1889 for
Clinch Valley  Bank.   On December  22, 1893,  a second  charter  was issued  in
substantially the same  form for Bank of Clinch Valley.  In 1929, Bank of Clinch
Valley merged with Farmers Bank under the charter of the former, and the name of
the  new institution  became Farmers Bank  of Clinch  Valley.   Bank of Tazewell
County resulted from the 1964 merger of Bank of Graham, Bluefield, Virginia with
Farmers Bank  of Clinch  Valley.   BTC  provides general  retail and  commercial
banking services to individuals,  businesses and local government units.   These
services include commercial, real  estate and consumer loans.   Deposit accounts
offered  include  demand  deposit  accounts,  interest-bearing  demand   deposit
accounts, money market  deposit accounts, savings  accounts and certificates  of
deposit.   Other services include  automatic funds transfer,  collections, night
depository,  safe deposit,  travelers  checks, savings  bond  sales and  utility
payment services; and providing other miscellaneous  service normally offered by
commercial banks.  BTC also conducts a general trust business.

   At December 31,  1999 BTC had  total assets of  $198,735.  Total  deposits at
this  same date  were $173,963.   BTC's  net income  for 1999  was $2,215  which
produced  a  return  on  average  assets  of  1.21%  and  a  return  on  average
stockholders'  equity of  8.67%.   Refer to  footnote 11  of the  Company's 1999
Annual Report to Stockholders for BTC's risk-based capital ratios.

Commercial Loans

   NBB  and  BTC make  both secured  and unsecured  loans  to businesses  and to
individuals for business purposes.  Loan requests are granted based upon several
factors including credit history,  past and present relationships with  the bank
and marketability of collateral.   Unsecured commercial loans must  be supported
by a satisfactory balance sheet and income statement.   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.

   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  secured by  residential  real  estate  are  originated  by  both  bank
subsidiaries.  NBB sells a substantial percentage of the residential real estate
loans  it originates  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  choose  not to  have their
mortgage loan  sold.   On  these occasions,  if the  loan  meets NBB's  internal
underwriting criteria, the loan  will be closed and  placed in NBB's  portfolio.
Some  loans originated by BTC  are held in the  bank's loan portfolio and others
are sold in the secondary market.     In their secondary market  operations, NBB
and BTC participates  in insured loan  programs sponsored by  the Department  of
Housing  and Urban  Development, the  Veterans  Administration and  the Virginia
Housing Development Authority.

   Residential  real  estate  loans  carry risk  associated  with  the continued
credit-worthiness of the borrower and changes in the value of the collateral.

                                       -4-<PAGE>


Construction Loans

   NBB makes loans for the purpose of financing the construction of business and
residential  structures   to  financially  responsibly  business   entities  and
individuals.  These loans are subject  to the same credit criteria as commercial
and residential real estate  loans.  Although BTC offers construction loans, its
involvement in this area of lending is more limited than NBB's due to the nature
of its market area.

   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 may at any point in time be less than the principal amount of the
loan.   Construction loans also bear  the risk that the  general contractor, who
may or may not be the bank's loan customer, is unable to finish the construction
project  as planned  because of  financial pressures  unrelated to  the project.
Loans to customers that  are made as permanent  financing of construction  loans
may likewise  under  certain circumstances  be  affected by  external  financial
pressures.

Consumer Loans

   NBB and BTC  routinely make consumer loans, both secured  and unsecured.  The
credit history and character of  individual borrowers is evaluated as a  part of
the credit decision.  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.   NBB also originates  a small  number of
student loans that are sold to the Student Loan Marketing Association.

   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.

Sales and Purchases of Loans

   NBB and BTC will occasionally buy or sell  all or a portion of a loan.  These
purchases and sales  are in addition to the secondary  market mortgage loans and
student loans regularly sold by NBB.  Because the demand for loans, particularly
for commercial loans, is greater in NBB's market area than in BTC's market area,
NBB regularly sells loans and participations in loans to BTC.

   Both banks will consider selling a loan or a participation in a loan, if: (i)
the full amount  of the  loan will exceed  the bank's legal  lending limit to  a
single  borrower;  (ii) the  full  amount  of the  loan,  when  combined with  a
borrower's previously outstanding  loans, will exceed  the bank's legal  lending
limit to a  single borrower; (iii)  the Board of  Directors or an internal  Loan
Committee  believes that a  particular borrower has  a sufficient level  of debt
with the bank;  (iv) the  borrower requests the  sale; (v) the  loan to  deposit
ratio is at or above the optimal level as determined by bank management;  and/or
(vi)  the loan may create  too great a concentration  of loans in one particular
location or in one particular type of loan.

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

Market Area

The National Bank of Blacksburg Market Area

   NBB's  primary market  area consists  of the  northern portion  of Montgomery
County, all of Giles  County, the City of Galax and adjacent portions of Carroll
and Grayson  Counties, Virginia.  This area includes the towns of Blacksburg and
Christiansburg  in Montgomery County  and the towns  of Pearisburg, Pembroke and
Rich Creek,  in Giles  County.   The local  economy is  diverse and  is oriented
toward   higher  education,   retail  and   service,  light   manufacturing  and
agriculture.   For the years 1999  and 1998 the unemployment  rate in Montgomery
County  was 1.9%  and 2.6% in  1997, and the  rate in Giles  County during those
years was 6.2% in 1999, 5.8% in 1998 and 6.7% in 1997.  The City of Galax had an
unemployment rate of 4.3% in 1999, 3.9% in 1998 and 2.6% in 1997.

   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 in the western edge of NBB's service
area.  It too has provided stable employment opportunities in the region.

   Giles County's primary employer is  the Celanese Corp. plant, a  manufacturer
of  the  material from  which cigarette  filters  are made.    In 1995  and 1996
employment  at that plant was  stable, however, in  late 1997 temporary employee
furloughs were  announced, and  a small number  of these temporary  layoffs have
become permanent.

   The City  of  Galax is  located  in  the Virginia-North  Carolina  furniture-
manufacturing  region.   Three  furniture companies,  Vaughan Bassett  Furniture
Company, Vaughan Furniture  Company, Inc.  and Webb  Furniture Company  together
employ the largest percentage of  the area's work force.   The Galax economy  is
stable.

   Several  other small  manufacturing concerns  are located  in Montgomery  and
Giles  Counties and in  the City of  Galax.  These  concerns manufacture diverse
products and are not  dependent on one sector  of the economy.   Agriculture and
tourism are also important to the region, especially in Giles County and in  the
area near Galax.




                                       -6-<PAGE>


   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 have  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, with an approximate population of 77,000, has experienced
moderate population growth and this trend is predicted to continue.  Neighboring
Giles County  is more  rural, with a  total population of  approximately 16,500.
The population  of Giles County is expected to  slowly decline over the next few
years.  It  is not anticipated  that this decline  will materially impact  NBB's
business in Giles County.   The City of Galax has a population  of approximately
7,000, and the neighboring, mostly rural, counties of Carroll and Grayson have a
total of  approximately 50,000 in habitants.   The area's  population is stable,
and no dramatic changes are predicted.

   NBB's primary  market 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.

Bank of Tazewell County Market Area

   Most of BTC's business  originates from Tazewell County, Virginia  and Mercer
County,  West Virginia.   This  includes the  towns of  Tazewell and  Bluefield,
Virginia  and Bluefield, West  Virginia.  BTC's primary  market area has largely
depended  on the coal  mining industry  and farming for  its economic base.   In
recent years, coal companies have mechanized  and this has reduced the number of
individuals required for  the production of coal.   There are still  a number of
support  industries  for  the coal  mining  business  that  continue to  provide
employment  in the  area.    Additionally,  several  new  businesses  have  been
established in the area, and  Bluefield, West Virginia has begun to  emerge as a
regional  medical center.  Unemployment  has stabilized, and  real estate values
also remain stable and comparable to other areas in southwest Virginia.

   For 1999 and 1998 the  unemployment rate for Tazewell County was 7.0%  and in
1997 9.5%.  In the same  years, Mercer County, West Virginia's unemployment rate
was 4.7%, 4.2% and 5.3%, respectively.

Competition

   The  banking and  financial service  business in  Virginia generally,  and in
NBB's  and  BTC's  market  areas  specifically,  is  highly  competitive.    The
increasingly competitive  environment  is a  result  of changes  in  regulation,
changes in technology and product delivery systems and new competition from non-
traditional financial  services provides the accelerating  pace of consolidation
among  financial service providers.  The Company's bank subsidiaries compete for
loans and deposits with  other commercial banks, savings and  loan associations,
securities  and brokerage  companies,  mortgage companies,  money market  funds,
credit  unions and  other nonbank  financial service providers.   Many  of these
competitors are much  larger in  total assets and  capitalization, have  greater
access to capital  markets and offer a broader array  of financial services than
NBB and BTC.  In order to compete with  these other financial service providers,
NBB   and  BTC   rely   upon  service-based   business  philosophies,   personal

                                       -7-<PAGE>


relationships with  customers, specialized services tailored  to meet customers'
needs  and the  convenience of  office locations.   In  addition, the  banks are
generally  competitive with other  financial institutions in  their market areas
with respect to interest rates paid on deposit accounts, interest rates  charged
on loans and other service charges on loans and deposit accounts.

Registrant's Organization and Employment

   Bankshares,  NBB and BTC are  organized in a  holding company/subsidiary bank
structure.    Bankshares has  no employees,  except  for officers,  and conducts
substantially  all of its operations through its subsidiaries.  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, 1999, NBB employed 117 full time equivalent  employees at its
main office,  operations center and  branch offices.   BTC at December  31, 1999
employed 68 in its various offices and operational areas.

Certain Regulatory Considerations

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

National Bankshares, Inc.

   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 Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of
1999.

   The  Bank Holding  Company Act.    The BHCA  is administered  by the  Federal
Reserve Board, and Bankshares is required to file with the Federal Reserve Board
an annual report  and any additional information  the Federal Reserve Board  may
require under 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 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 the acquisition it would own or control, directly or indirectly, more than
5% of the voting shares of the 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

                                       -8-<PAGE>


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.   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 incident  to
banking.   Under recent  amendments to the  BHCA, included  in the  Gramm-Leach-
Bliley Act of  1999 (see below),  any bank holding  company, all the  depository
institution  subsidiaries of which are well-capitalized,  well managed (as those
terms are defined in the  BHCA) and have a  satisfactory or better rating  under
the Community  Reinvestment  Act as  of  their  last examination,  may  file  an
election with  the Federal Reserve Board to  become a Financial Holding Company.
A Financial Holding Company may engage in any activity that is  (i) financial in
nature (ii)  incidental to  a financial  activity or  (iii)  complementary to  a
financial activity.   The BHCA provides  a long list of  "financial activities",
including:   insurance  underwriting;   securities  dealing   and  underwriting;
providing  financial,  investment or  economic  arising  services; and  merchant
banking  activities.   Financial  Holding Companies  may  also engage  in  other
activities that the Federal  Reserve Board has determined are  permissible under
the BHCA, by regulation or order.

   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.    Subject  to  its   capital
requirements and certain other restrictions, Bankshares can borrow money to make
a capital  contribution to  NBB  or BTC,  and these  loans  may be  repaid  from
dividends paid from NBB or BTC to Bankshares (although the ability of NBB or BTC
to pay dividends are subject to regulatory restrictions).   Bankshares can raise
capital for contribution to NBB and BTC by issuing securities  without having to
receive  regulatory  approval, subject  to  compliance  with federal  and  state
securities laws.

   The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.   The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the GLBA),  enacted
on November 12,  1999, was a  broad rewrite of  financial services  legislation.
The  GLBA  permits  significant  combinations  among different  sectors  of  the
financial  services  industry; allows  for  significant  expansion of  financial
service  activities  by Bank  holding companies  and  provides for  a regulatory
framework  by   various  governmental  authorities  responsible   for  different
financial  activities;  and  offers  certain financial  privacy  protections  to
consumers.  The GLBA repealed affiliation and  management interlock prohibitions
of  the  Depression-era Glass-Steagall  Act and,  by  amending the  Bank Holding
Companies,  the  GLBA  added  new  substantive  provisions  to  the  non-banking
activities permitted under  the BHCA with the creation of  the financial holding
company.   The GLBA  preempts most  state laws  that prohibit  financial holding
companies  from engaging in insurance activities.  The GLBA permits affiliations
between  banks and securities firms  within the same  holding company structure,
and the  Act permits financial holding  companies to directly engage  in a broad
range securities and merchant banking activities.



                                       -9-<PAGE>


   The Gramm-Leach-Bliley  Act will lead to  important changes in the  manner in
which  financial  services are  delivered in  the United  States.   Bank holding
companies and their subsidiary banks will be able to offer a much  broader array
of financial services; however, there will be greater competition in all sectors
of the financial services market.

   The Virginia Banking Act.  All  Virginia bank holding companies must register
with the  Virginia  State  Corporation  Commission (the  Commission)  under  the
Virginia  Banking  Act.   A  registered bank  holding  company must  provide the
Commission with information with respect to the financial condition, operations,
management  and  intercompany  relationships  of the  holding  company  and  its
subsidiaries.   The 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  under Virginia law by the Commission have
been complied  with, and may make  examinations of any bank  holding company and
its  subsidiaries.   The  Virginia Banking  Act  allows 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.   The
Virginia Banking Act permits  bank holding companies from throughout  the United
States to enter the Virginia market, subject to federal and state approval.

NBB and BTC

   General.  NBB  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.

   BTC is organized as a Virginia-chartered banking corporation and is regulated
and supervised  by the Bureau  of Financial  Institutions (BFI) of  the Virginia
State Corporation Commission.  In addition, as a federally insured  bank, BTC is
regulated  and supervised  by  the Federal  Reserve Board,  which serves  as its
primary federal regulator and  is subject to certain regulations  promulgated by
the  FDIC.   Under the provisions  of federal  law, federally  insured banks are
subject,  with certain  exceptions,  to certain  restrictions  on extensions  of
credit to their affiliates, on  investments in the stock or other  securities of
affiliates and on the taking of such stock or securities  as collateral from any
borrower.  In addition, these banks are prohibited from engaging in certain tie-
in-arrangements in connection with  any extension of credit or  the providing of
any property of service.




                                      -10-<PAGE>


   The  Virginia  State Corporation  Commission  and the  Federal  Reserve Board
conduct regular examinations  of BTC  reviewing the  adequacy of  the loan  loss
reserves,  quality  of  the  loans  and  investments,  propriety  of  management
practices, compliance with laws and regulations and other aspects of the  bank's
operations.  In addition to these regular examinations, Virginia chartered banks
must  furnish to the Federal Reserve Board quarterly reports containing detailed
financial statements and schedules.

   Community Reinvestment Act.  NBB and BTC are 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.  Under the
implementing CRA  regulations, banks have  the option of being  assessed for CRA
compliance under one of several methods.  Small banks are evaluated  differently
than larger  banks and  technically  are not  subject  to some  data  collection
requirements.  The focus of the 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 regulations
place substantial importance  on a bank's product  delivery system, particularly
branch locations.   The regulations  require banks, other  than small banks,  to
comply with  significant data collection requirements.   The regulatory agency's
assessment of the bank's record is made available  to the public.  Further, this
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 ongoing government scrutiny and that costs associated with compliance
will continue to increase.

   NBB has  received a CRA  rating of "Outstanding"  in its last  examination by
federal bank regulators.  BTC was rated as "Satisfactory".

   Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation  Improvement  Act  of  1991.     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.

   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.

   Among  other things,  FDICIA requires  the federal  banking agencies  to take
"prompt corrective action" in respect to  banks that do not meet minimum capital
requirements.    FDICIA  establishes  five capital  tiers:  "well  capitalized,"
"adequately  capitalized," "undercapitalized,"  "significantly undercapitalized"
and "critically undercapitalized."

   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

                                      -11-<PAGE>


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.

   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.

   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.

   Branching.   In  1986, the  Virginia Banking  Act was  amended to  remove the
geographic restrictions  governing the establishment of  branch banking offices.
Subject to the  approval of  the appropriate federal  and state bank  regulatory
authorities,  BTC as  a state bank,  may establish  a branch  office anywhere in
Virginia.

   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,  NBB will  be  able to  acquire  existing banking  operations  in
Virginia.

   The  Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 (the
Interstate  Act) 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.
The Interstate Act also  permits banks to acquire out-of-state  branches through

                                      -12-<PAGE>


interstate mergers,  if the state has not opted out of interstate branching.  De
novo branching, where an out-of-state bank  holding company sets up a new branch
in  another state,  requires  a state's  specific approval.   An  acquisition or
merger  is not  permitted under the  Interstate Act  if the  bank, including its
insured depository affiliates, will control more than 10% of the total amount of
deposits  of insured  depository  institutions in  the  United States,  or  will
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.  Under the Virginia statute, Virginia state banks may,
with  the approval of the  Virginia State Corporation  Commission, establish and
maintain a de novo branch or acquire one or  more branches in a 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
these branches  are 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  State Corporation  Commission  has 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 permits  banks and bank holding companies  from throughout
the United States to enter Virginia  markets through the acquisition of Virginia
institutions  and  makes  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 the Company has
increased as a result of the  Interstate Act and the Virginia interstate banking
statutes.

   Deposit Insurance.  The FDIC establishes rates for the payment of premiums by
federally insured financial  institutions.  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  and BTC  paid for  deposit insurance
under a risk-based premium system.  Beginning in 1997, all  banks, including NBB
and BTC,  were subject to  an additional  FDIC assessment  which funds  interest
payments  for bank issues  to resolve problems  associated with the  savings and
loan industry.  This assessment  will continue until 2018-2019.   The assessment
will vary over the period from 1.29 cents to 2.43 cents per $100 of deposits.

   Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.  The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (the GLBA) allows
national banks, with OCC  approval, to acquire financial subsidiaries  to engage
in any  activity  that is  financial  in nature  or  incidental to  a  financial
activity, as defined in the Bank Holding Act, except (i) insurance underwriting,
(ii)  merchant  or  insurance  portfolio  investments,  and  (iii)  real  estate
development or investment.   Well-capitalized national banks are also  given the
authority to engage in municipal bond underwriting.

                                      -13-<PAGE>


   To establish or acquire a financial subsidiary, a national bank must be well-
managed, and the consolidated assets of its financial subsidiary must not exceed
the lesser of 45% of the  consolidated total assets of the bank or  $50 billion.
Relationship between a national bank and a financial subsidiary are subject to a
variety of supervisory  enhancements from  regulators.  The  GLBA also  provides
that state banks that  establish or acquire financial subsidiaries  are required
to comply  with the  same safeguards  imposed on  the financial  subsidiaries of
national banks.

   Government Policies.  The operations of NBB and  BTC are 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.

   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.

   As a  state member  bank subject  to the regulations  of the  Federal Reserve
Board, BTC  must  obtain the  approval  of the  Federal  Reserve Board  for  any
dividend  if the  total of  all dividends  declared in  any calendar  year would
exceed the total of  its net profits, as defined  by the Federal Reserve  Board,
for that  year, combined with  its retained  net profits for  the preceding  two
years.  In  addition, a state member  bank may not pay  a dividend in an  amount
greater than its  undivided profits then on hand after  deducting its losses and
bad debts.   For this  purpose, bad debts are  generally defined to  include the
principal amount  of loans which are in arrears with  respect to interest by six
months or  more, unless  such loans  are fully  secured and  in  the process  of
collection.  Moreover, for purposes  of this limitation, a state member  bank is
not permitted to add the balance in its allowance for loan losses account to its

                                      -14-<PAGE>


undivided profits then on hand; however, it may net  the sum of its bad debts as
so defined  against the  balance in  its allowance for  loan losses  account and
deduct  from undivided profits  only bad debts  as so defined  in excess of that
account.

   In  addition, the  Federal Reserve  Board is  authorized to  determine, under
certain  circumstances relating  to the  financial condition  of a  state member
bank,  that the payment of dividends would be  an unsafe or unsound practice and
to prohibit  payment thereof.  The  payment of dividends that  depletes a bank's
capital  base could be deemed to constitute  such an unsafe or unsound practice.
The  Federal  Reserve Board  has  indicated  that banking  organizations  should
generally pay dividends only out of current operating earnings.

   Virginia  law  also  imposes  restrictions  on  the  ability  of BTC  to  pay
dividends.   A Virginia state bank is permitted to declare a dividend out of its
"net  undivided profits", after providing for all expenses, losses, interest and
taxes accrued or due by the bank.  In  addition, a deficit in capital originally
paid in must be restored to its initial level, and no dividend can be paid which
could  impair the bank's paid in capital.   The Bureau of Financial Institutions
further has authority to limit the payment of dividends by a Virginia bank if it
determines the limitation is in  the public interest and is necessary  to ensure
the bank's financial soundness.

   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.

   Capital Requirements.    The Federal  Reserve  Board has  adopted  risk-based
capital  guidelines which  are applicable to  Bankshares and  BTC.   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 for a minimum  ratio of Tier 1 Capital  to risk-
weighted assets  of 4.0%.   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.

   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  and BTC.  The  OCC has adopted similar  regulations applicable to
NBB.  These  guidelines provide for a minimum ratio of  4.0% for banks that meet
certain  specified criteria,  including that  they have  the highest  regulatory
CAMELS  rating and are not  anticipating or experiencing  significant growth and
have well-diversified risk.   All other  banks will be  required to maintain  an
additional  cushion of  at  least 100  to  200 basis  points,  based upon  their
particular  circumstances and risk profiles.   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

                                      -15-<PAGE>


restrictions, as  well as the measurement  of these risks, is  likely to change,
resulting in increased capital requirements for banks.   Bankshares, NBB and BTC
are unable to predict whether higher capital ratios would be imposed and, if so,
at what levels and on what schedule.

Other Legislative and Regulatory Concerns

   Other  legislative and regulatory proposals regarding  changes in banking and
the  regulation  of   banks,  thrifts  and  other  financial   institutions  are
periodically  considered  by the  executive  branch of  the  federal government,
Congress and various state governments, including Virginia.  New proposals could
significantly  change  the  regulation  of  banks  and  the  financial  services
industry.  It cannot be predicted what might be proposed or adopted or how these
proposals would affect the Company.

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  and  BTC's  loan demand,  as  well  as  certain NBB  loans  in  which BTC
participates.

C.      Analysis of Changes in Interest Income and Interest Expense

        The Company's primary source  of revenue is net interest income, which is the difference between the
        interest and fees earned on loans and investments and the interest paid on deposits and other funds.
        The Company's 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).

        (1)  The  majority of  mortgage-backed securities  and collateralized  mortgage obligations  held at
             December  31,  1999  were backed  by  U.S.  agencies.   Certain  holdings  are  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.

         Except for U.S. Government securities, the  Company has no securities with any issuer that  exceeds
         10% of 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

             At December 31, 1999,  the recorded investment in loans  which have
             been identified  as  impaired  loans totaled  $317,000.    Of  this
             amount, $95,000  related to loans  with no valuation  allowance and
             $222,000 related to loans  with a corresponding valuation allowance
             of $154,000.   For the  year-ended December 31,  1999, the  average
             recorded  investment in  impaired loans was  approximately $292,000
             and  the total  interest income  recognized on  impaired loans  was
             $13,000 of which $0 was recognized on a cash basis.

             At December 31, 1998,  the recorded investment in loans  which have
             been identified  as  impaired  loans totaled  $373,000.    Of  this
             amount, $228,000 related  to loans with no  valuation allowance and
             $145,000 related to loans  with a corresponding valuation allowance
             of $145,000.   For  the year ended  December 31, 1998,  the average
             recorded investment in impaired  loans was approximately  $387,000,
             and  the total  interest income  recognized on  impaired loans  was
             $32,000 of which $0 was recognized on a cash basis.

         3.  Foreign Outstandings

             At  December 31,  1999,  1998  and  1997,  there  were  no  foreign
             outstandings.

         4.  Loan Concentrations

             The  Company   does  a   general  banking  business,   serving  the
             commercial,  agricultural  and   personal  banking  needs   of  its
             customers.  NBB's trade territory, consists of Montgomery and Giles
             Counties,  and the City of Galax, Virginia and portions of adjacent
             counties.  NBB's 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  Institute
             and State University, Montgomery  County Schools and Celco.   Other
             industries  include a  wide  variety of  manufacturing, retail  and
             service  concerns.   Most  of  BTC's business  originates  from the
             communities  of Tazewell  and  Bluefield and  other communities  in
             Tazewell  County, Virginia  and  in Mercer  County, West  Virginia.
             BTC's service area has largely depended on the coal mining industry
             and farming for its economic base.  In recent years, coal companies
             have  mechanized and reduced the  number of persons  engaged in the
             production of coal.  There are still a number of support industries
             for the coal mining business that continue to provide employment in
             the  area.     Additionally,  several  new   businesses  have  been
             established in the area  and Bluefield, West Virginia has  begun to
             emerge  as a regional medical center.   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 these areas.



                                      -24-<PAGE>


             At December 31, 1999  and 1998, approximately $130 million  and $94
             million, respectively,  of the loan portfolio  were concentrated in
             commercial real estate.  This represents approximately  44% and 39%
             of  the loan portfolio at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
             Included  in commercial real estate  at December 31,  1999 and 1998
             was  approximately $85  million and  $64 million,  respectively, in
             loans for college housing and professional office buildings.  Loans
             secured by  residential real estate were  approximately $74 million
             and $67 million at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.   This
             represents  approximately  25% and  28%  of the  loan  portfolio at
             December  31,  1999  and   1998,  respectively.  Loans  secured  by
             automobiles  were  approximately $33  million  and  $32 million  at
             December  31,  1999  and   1998,  respectively.    This  represents
             approximately  11% of the loan  portfolio at December  31, 1999 and
             13% at December 31, 1998.

             The  Company 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.

Loan Loss Allowance
- -------------------

   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 as well as other
internal and external factors such as general economic conditions.

   The evaluation  of the allowance for loan losses is performed by the internal
credit review department.

   Guidance for  the  evaluations performed  are established  by the  regulatory
authorities who periodically review the results for compliance.

   As a  part of this process,  loans are grouped into  principally two classes.
The first involves loans  that are individually reviewed and  direct allocations
made based on collateral  values, financial statements of the borrower and other
documentation.   In addition,  an estimate is  made for losses  inherent to this
portfolio.

   The second class includes pools of loans.  Allocations from this analysis are
derived and based on historical loss averages.

   The unallocated portion  of the  allowance for  loan losses  is the  residual
amount after allocation to the above classes.

   As previously stated, adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is subject to
periodic  regulatory review.   These  reviews cover  the allocation  process and
overall adequacy  of the allowance for  loan losses.  Regulatory  authorities at
their  discretion may set  minimum levels for  the allowance  and/or require the
charge-off of loans as a result of their examination.   This independent grading
process by  regulators serves  as a  standard to gage  the effectiveness  of the
internal credit review.

Analysis of Interest Rate Sensitivity

The following  discussion of interest rate  sensitivity contains forward-looking
statements  within the meaning of Section 27A  of the Securities Act of 1933 and
Section  21E of  the Securities  Exchange  Act of  1934.   The Company's  actual
results  could differ  materially from  those set  forth in  the forward-looking
statements.

The table  below  sets forth,  as  of December  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 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 in the table.

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.  The Company's future earnings may be adversely affected by
a sharp upturn  in interest rates  as the Company  is liability sensitive for  a
period extending beyond  five years.   In a  falling rate environment,  earnings
might 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.

In prior  years, the Company  has used  its securities available  for sale  as a
primary means  to counter movements  in interest rates.   At December  31, 1999,
this portfolio contained  a substantial  amount of longer  term securities  with
call features.  Due to overall increase in interest rate levels these securities
have not been called as originally anticipated.  The rising interest rate levels
also resulted in a substantial increase in net unrealized losses making the sale
of these securities impractical.  At present and for an  indeterminate amount of
time in  the  future, the  Company will    not be  able  to use  the  securities

possible  in  recent years.    This risk  can  be mitigated,  however,  by funds
management,  specifically  through  use of  credit  instruments  offered  by the
Federal  Home Loan  Bank.   Accordingly, the  Company's vulnerability  to upward
movements of interest rates has increased.

(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  December 31,  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.

   The Company also  uses simulation analysis to forecast its  balance sheet and
monitor interest rate sensitivity.  One test used by NBI 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 December 31, 1999.

           (-)300      10,331         17.91%               2.21%


   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.

To Our Stockholders

     We   are   pleased  to   report
another year of higher  earnings and
solid   asset   growth.     National
Bankshares, Inc. achieved net income
in  1999 of nearly $7.09 million, an
increase of  4.3% over 1998.   Based            National Bankshares
upon  a  weighted average  of shares
outstanding  during  1999  and  also
reflecting the effects of the common
stock   repurchase  plan   that  was
completed in the  second quarter  of
the year, basic net income per share
rose to $1.96 from $1.79 in 1998.
     The  total  assets of  National
Bankshares   increased  to   $472.13
million  at  December  31, 1999,  as
compared to $445.17 million  for the
same period in 1998.  A major factor
contributing to  asset growth during                Picture of
the year was a 23.2% increase in net        "New Hubbard Street Office"
loans, to $291.56  million at  year-
end.    Adding  sound  loans  to our
subsidiary banks' portfolios  serves
our  communities, our  customers and
our stockholders.  Funds  on deposit
at The National Bank and at Bank  of
Tazewell  County  are  used to  make
loans  in  our  local  region.   The
loans   in  turn   support  business
expansion  and  the construction  of
new  homes.    They  also  allow our
customers to purchase  new cars,  to
pay  for  medical  expenses  and  to
educate  their  children.   National                Picture of

     As I mentioned above,  when you
review this year's Annual Report you
will  see that  net income  for 1999
totaled nearly $7.09 million, a 4.3%
increase  over last year.   You will
also   see   an   item   listed   as
"comprehensive  income",   which  is
less  than  the  net income  figure.
Since   this   difference   can   be
confusing, I want  to explain  about

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY
     Net  income in  1999 for  National Bankshares,  Inc. (Bankshares)  and its
wholly-owned  subsidiaries, The National Bank  of Blacksburg (NBB)  and Bank of
Tazewell County (BTC), (the Company), was $7,088, an increase of  $290 or 4.27%
over the previous year.  This produced  a return on average assets and a return
on average equity of 1.56% and 12.61%, respectively.
     Net income for  the Company for 1998  was $6,798, an  increase of $238  or
3.63% over 1997.  The return on average assets and return on average equity for
1998 were 1.61% and 11.66%, respectively.
     The Company's  net income for 1997  was $6,560 which produced  a return on
average assets of 1.66% and a return on average equity of 12.21%.
     Basic net income per  share increased steadily over the  three-year period
rising from $1.73 per share in 1997 to $1.79 in 1998 and $1.96 in 1999.
     Net income for 1999  increased 4.27% as previously stated;  however, total
asset  growth increased at  a rate of  approximately 6%, resulting  in a slight
decline in the return on average assets.  The increase in the return on average
equity  for  1999  was the  result  of  increased  earnings  and a  decline  in
stockholders' equity.   This  decline  in stockholders'  equity  was due  to  a
combination of a stock repurchase that occurred in the second  quarter of 1999,
cash dividends  and a substantial  decline in  accumulated other  comprehensive
income.   The  dividend payout  ratio for  1999 was  39.70%, which  compares to
41.29% in 1998 and 39.31% in 1997.

NET INTEREST INCOME
     Net interest income for 1999 was $19,400, an increase of  $1,500 or  8.38%
over 1998.  In 1998,  net interest income was $17,900, up $1,209  or 7.24% from
1997 net interest income of $16,691.
     The net yield on earning assets for 1999 was 4.82%.  In 1998 and 1997, the
net yield on earning assets was 4.77% and 4.75%, respectively.
     During  1999, the Company continued to experience substantial loan growth,
which in turn contributed significantly to the increase in net interest income.
The improvement in the net interest margin of 5 basis points  was the result of
a  14 basis point  decline in the  yield on earning  assets combined with  a 19
basis point decline in the  cost to fund earning assets.  In the fourth quarter
of 1999, the Company changed  its method of accounting for loan  late fees from
cash  to  accrual basis.   As  a  result of  this change,  net  interest income
increased by $266.  This change was not deemed to be material.
     The Company experienced a higher level  of deposit growth in 1998 relative
to the preceding year.  This allowed loan growth to be funded by deposits.  The
investment portfolio grew as well.
     In 1997, management's strategy was to fund increases in the loan portfolio
through liquidity  generated  principally from  the securities  portfolio.   In
1997,  overall loan  growth was  strong, particularly  in commercial  loans and
loans to individuals.

Management's Discussion and Analysis

INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY
     The Company considers interest  rate risk to be a  significant market risk
and has  systems in place  to measure the exposure  of net interest  income and
fair  market values  to  adverse movement  in interest  rates.   Interest  rate
sensitivity analyses indicate repricing  opportunities, and interest rate shock
simulations  indicate  potential economic  loss  due  to future  interest  rate
changes.  Management realizes certain risks are inherent and minimizes these by
adjusting asset/liability management responses to changing economic conditions.
     The Company reduces the  volatility of its net interest income by managing
the relationship  of interest-rate sensitive assets  to interest-rate sensitive
liabilities.  In prior years, the Company has used its securities available for
sale as a  primary means to counter movements  in interest rates.   At December
31,  1999, this  portfolio  contained  a  substantial  amount  of  longer  term
securities with call  features.  Due  to an overall  increase in interest  rate
levels these  securities have not been  called as originally anticipated.   The
rising interest rate  levels also  resulted in  a substantial  increase in  net
unrealized losses making the sale of these securities impractical.   At present
and for an indeterminate amount of time in the future, the Company will  not be
able to  use the securities available for sale portfolio to respond to interest
rate movements  to the  extent possible  in  recent years.   This  risk can  be
mitigated, however,  by funds management,  specifically through  use of  credit
instruments offered by the Federal Home Loan Bank.   Accordingly, the Company's
vulnerability to upward movements of interest rates has increased.

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

     Nonperforming  loans include nonaccrual loans  and restructured loans, but
do not include accruing loans  past due 90 days or more.   Nonperforming assets
for 1999 have decreased $18 or 2.74%  from 1998.  Nonperforming assets for 1998
increased by $148 or 29.13% from the 1997 total of $508.
     Net charge-offs to average net loans for 1999 were 0.31%, up from 0.17% in
1998.  In 1999, overall asset  quality continued to be satisfactory and general
economic conditions favorable.  The  provision for loan loss increased by  $776
or 124.36%.  This increased level of bad debt expense was primarily in response
to the growth  in the loan portfolio, but also  provided for additional losses.
Charge-offs in  the commercial loan  category increased by $153,  while charge-
offs on loans to individuals increased by $234.   A majority of the charge-offs
in the commercial loan  area was due to a  single credit, while charge-offs  on
loans to individuals consisted of numerous smaller credits.
     Net charge-offs to average net loans  for 1998 were 0.17%, down from  1997
when that ratio was 0.28%.  The provision for loan losses, which increased $189
in 1998 or 43.45% over 1997's provision  of $435, was increased to cover 1998's
net charge-offs and loan growth.  See note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements for  additional information relating  to nonperforming  assets, past
due loans, impaired loans and allowance for loan losses.
     While past efforts  directed at improving asset quality  have been largely
successful, management is  unable to estimate when  and under what  exact terms
problem assets will be resolved.   Changing economic conditions, the timing and
extent of changes and the ultimate impact on the Company's asset quality is not
within management's ability to predict with any degree of precision.
     In  addition, precise  loss  predictions  may  be difficult  to  determine
because of the complex circumstances that surround troubled debts.

NONINTEREST INCOME
     Noninterest income  for 1999 was $3,512, an increase of $338 or     10.65%
over 1998.   Noninterest  income for 1998  was $3,174,  up $340 or  12.00% from
1997.

                                       7<PAGE>

Management's Discussion and Analysis

     Service charges  on deposits for 1999 totaled  $1,395, an increase of $230
or 19.74%  from 1998.  This increase  was due in  part to  volume and  improved
collection efforts.  Service charges on deposit accounts in 1998 were up $34 or
3.01% from the  previous year.  The level of these  charges is driven by demand
deposit volume, types of  accounts opened, service charge rates in  effect, the
level of charges such as overdraft  fees and the waiver policy concerning these
fees.  The increase for  1998 was largely attributable to the  overall increase
in demand  deposit volume.  The  decrease for 1997 was  largely attributable to
fluctuations in overdraft volumes.
     Other service  charges and  fees are  composed of  safe deposit  box rent,
charges  associated with letters  of credit and other  miscellaneous items.  In
1999, these  charges were $279,  an increase of $48  or 20.78% from  1998.  For
1998, these charges totaled $231, a decrease of $19 or 7.60% from 1997.
     Trust income for  1999 was $927  which represents an  increase of $153  or
19.77% over 1998.  In 1998, trust income was $774, an increase of $36  or 4.88%
over 1997.  Factors affecting the growth in trust income include an increase in
the  number  of accounts  managed,  an increase  in  the average  value  of the
accounts  managed and  an increase  in  both the  number and  value of  estates
settled. Due  to its nature, estate  business volume and the  related income is
not within management's ability to predict.
     Credit  card income  is composed  of several  types of  fees and  charges,
including transaction or interchange fees, merchant discount fees and overlimit
charges.   In 1999, credit  card income  totaled $802, an  increase of  $149 or
22.82%  over 1998.   The  increase  in 1999  was attributable  to increases  in
merchant income  and debit card processing  fees.  Credit card  income for 1998
was  $653, up  $47 or  7.76% over  1997. Credit  card income increased  in 1998
largely because of a higher volume of interchange transactions, created in part
by the  Company's debit card  product.   The Company's debit  card product  was
introduced  late in the first quarter of  1997.  Accordingly, 1998 reflects the
first  full  year of  income  derived  from this  product.    Given the  highly
competitive  market which limits the  amount of set  charges, revenue increases
result from growth  in the number of merchant accounts  processed and increases
in the number of customer credit and debit card accounts that result in  higher
transaction volume.
     Net  realized securities gains were $24 in  1999, down $164 or 87.23% from
1998.   In 1998, net securities  gains were $188, up 408.11%  from 1997.  Gains
and losses can occur as a  result of portfolio restructuring, securities called
before maturity and certain market adjustments.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE
     Noninterest expense in 1999 totaled  $11,868, up $807 or 7.30%  from 1998.
In 1998, noninterest expense was $11,061,  an increase of $1,030 or 10.27% from
1997.
     Salaries and benefits in 1999 increased $224 or 3.85% from 1998.
     In 1998, salaries  and benefits expense  totaled $5,824, up $426  or 7.89%
from 1997.  The  increase in salaries was due in part to the acquisition of the
Galax office by NBB at the beginning of the second  quarter, salary adjustments
and from increases in other normal compensation related items.
     In early 2000, the Company's NBB subsidiary purchased a tract of land with
the  intent to establish a new branch facility.  The exact timing of the branch
application and construction processes has not been precisely determined.  When
completed, it is  expected that  this planned addition  will increase  salaries
expense as well as certain other noninterest expenses.
     Occupancy  and furniture and fixtures expense increased $154 or 15.43% for
1999 when compared to  1998.  This increase was due  to higher costs associated
with the Galax office acquired by NBB in the second quarter of 1998 and also to
regular planned  maintenance of  facilities.  Management  anticipates occupancy

                                       8<PAGE>

National Bankshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries

and  furniture  and fixtures  expense  will continue  to  increase  due to  the
addition of its Hubbard Street office placed in service in the third quarter of
1999 and the  previously mentioned planned new facility.  The expected increase
in occupancy  and furniture and fixtures  expense will be somewhat  offset by a
future reduction in expenses  for leased premises. Occupancy and  furniture and
fixtures expense experienced an increase in 1998 of 4.18% over 1997.
     Data processing and ATM expense  was $889 for 1999, an increase  over 1998
of  $118 or 15.30%.  This increase was due to costs associated with the upgrade
of information system hardware  and software and costs  related to an  expanded
microcomputer network.  In 1998,  data processing and ATM expense was  $771, an
increase of $193 or 33.39% over 1997.
     The cost of Federal Deposit Insurance was $47 in 1999, an increase  of $10
from 1998.  While  the banks' base premiums  remain at the minimum required  by
law, legislation enacted  in late 1996  levied an assessment  on banks for  the
purpose  of financing  certain  costs associated  with  the resolution  of  the
savings and loan crisis.  This additional  levy is expected to remain in effect
until 2018-2019.   In 1998, the Company's  affiliates paid a premium  of $37, a
decrease of $6 over 1997.
     Credit card processing expense for  1999 was $712, an increase of  $113 or
18.86%  over  1998.   In  1998, credit  card  processing expense  was  $599, an
increase  of 8.71%.    This increase  reflects additional  expense  due to  the
introduction of a debit card  product, higher merchant processing costs and  an
overall increase in business activity.
     Net costs of other real estate owned for 1999  were $26, a decrease of $11
or 29.73% from 1998.  In 1998, net  costs of other real estate owned were  $37,
increasing $29 from 1997.
     Other operating expenses were $2,956 in  1999, up $197 or 7.14% from 1998,
which  was  primarily  the result  of  increases  in  stationery and  supplies,
telephone and state franchise tax expense at BTC.  The  other operating expense
category in 1998 was $2,759, increasing 11.93% from 1997.

INCOME TAXES
     Despite higher  pre-tax  income in  1999,  a $35  decrease in  income  tax
expense resulted  when compared to 1998.   Tax exempt interest income continues
to be  the primary difference  between the "expected"  and reported income  tax
expense.   The  Company's effective  tax  rates for  1999, 1998  and 1997  were
26.50%, 27.60% and 27.59%, respectively.
     See note 10 of  Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements  for additional
information relating to income taxes.

EFFECTS OF INFLATION
     The Company's  consolidated statements of income  and comprehensive income
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
     Total assets at year-end  1999 were $472,134 which represents  an increase
of $26,968 or 6.06%  over the previous year.  The  Company's primary methods of
achieving growth are to seek increases in deposits at its bank subsidiaries and
to grow through corporate acquisitions and mergers.
     While deposit growth was strong in 1999, it was not sufficient to fund all
of  the Company's  investing  and financing  activities.   Deposit  growth  was
supplemented  in the fourth quarter by borrowing approximately $10,000 from the
Federal Home Loan Bank.  See the Liquidity section for further comments.
     In 1998, deposit growth was sufficient to fund loan growth as well as some
expansion  of the  securities portfolio.   Profitable growth continues  to be a
management objective.  In 1999 and 1998, total average deposits grew by $31,613
and  $20,531, respectively, which represents  growth rates of  8.78% and 6.05%,
respectively.

LOANS
     Loans,  net of  unearned income  and  deferred fees,  grew  by $55,536  or
23.21%  in 1999.   Commercial  loans grew  by $38,877  or 35.18% with  loans to
individuals increasing by $4,332 or  6.23%.  Loan growth  for the year 2000  is
not expected to reach 1999 levels.
     In 1998, loans, net of unearned income and deferred fees,  grew by $22,267
or 10.26%.  Commercial loans, which grew by $9,130 or 9.01%,  accounted for the
largest portion of the increase.
     The  Company engages in the origination and  sale of mortgage loans in the
secondary market.    In 1999  and  1998,  the Company  originated  $31,538  and
$41,472,  respectively,  and  sold  $33,489  and  $39,697  in  1999  and  1998,
respectively, of mortgage loans.

SECURITIES
     In  1999,  total  bank-owned securities  decreased  by  $29,262 or  17.55%
compared to 1998.  Securities available for sale declined by $22,233 or 16.34%,
while securities  held to maturity declined by $7,029 or 22.91%.  (See comments
in the Interest Rate Sensitivity section.)
     In 1998, total bank-owned  securities increased by $16,780 or  11.19% from
1997.
     The  Company's  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.   The  Company  has
classified  all of  its investment  securities as  either held  to maturity  or
available for sale, as the Company does not engage in trading activities.
     At  December  31,   1999  and   1998,  the  Company   had  no   investment
concentrations in any  single issues (excluding U.S.  Government) that exceeded
ten percent of capital.

DEPOSITS
     At  year-end 1999, total deposits were $407,187 which represents a $24,491
or  6.4%  increase over  1998.    At December  31,  1998,  total deposits  were
$382,696, an increase of 10.97%  over 1997.  In the third quarter  of 1999, the

                                       10<PAGE>

National Bankshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Office  of  the Comptroller  of  Currency announced  the  closure of  a 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 benefitted  from the event,
acquiring  new deposits  in excess of  $20,000.   This event  accounted for the
majority of the Company's deposit growth for 1999.
     Average noninterest-bearing deposits were $55,700 in 1999,  an increase of
$6,148  or 12.41%  over 1998.   In 1998, average  noninterest- bearing deposits
increased by $5,359 or 12.13% over 1997.
     Average interest-bearing  deposits were $335,883  in 1999, an  increase of
$25,465  over 1998.   In  1998, average  interest-bearing deposits  of $310,418
increased $15,172 from 1997.

DERIVATIVES AND MARKET RISK EXPOSURES
     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.   See  note 14  of Notes  to Consolidated  Financial  Statements for
additional information relating to financial instruments with off-balance sheet
risk.   Management does not plan any future involvement in high risk derivative
products.     The  Company  has  investments   in  mortgage-backed  securities,
principally  GNMA's, with a fair value of approximately $13,547, which includes
$2,142  of structured  notes.   In  addition, the  Company  has investments  in
nonmortgage-backed structured notes with a fair value of approximately  $4,297.
See  note  3  of Notes  to  Consolidated  Financial  Statements for  additional
information relating to securities.
     The Company's securities and loans are subject to credit and interest rate
risk and its deposits are subject  to interest rate risk.  Management considers
its credit risk when a loan  is granted and monitors its credit risk  after the
loan is granted.  The Company maintains an  allowance for loan losses to absorb
losses in  the collection of  its loans.  See  note 5 of  Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements for information relating to nonperforming assets, past due
loans,  impaired loans and allowance for loan losses.   See note 15 of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for information relating to concentrations of
credit risk.  The Company has an asset/liability program to manage its interest
rate risk.   This program provides 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 the Company  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.  The Company's profitability in the
near term  may be temporarily affected either  positively by a falling interest
rate scenario or negatively  by a period of rising rates.  See note 16 of Notes
to  Consolidated Financial Statements for information relating to fair value of
financial instruments and comments concerning interest rate sensitivity.

LIQUIDITY
     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.  The Company maintained an adequate liquidity level during 1999 and
1998.   In  1999, the Company's  liquidity was  materially affected  by several
events.  As previously  discussed, the Company's available for  sale securities

                                       11<PAGE>

Management's Discussion and Analysis

portfolio experienced a significant level of net unrealized losses through much
of 1999 and at December 31, 1999, which limited, in the near term, its use as a
source of liquidity.  Deposit growth, however, during 1999 was strong, reducing
the effect  of the lack of liquidity  found in the securities  portfolio.  (See
comments  in the deposit section related to  the Keystone matter.)  Loan growth
and other  cash needs  did however  remain strong and  resulted in  the Company
borrowing $10,000 from the Federal Home Loan Bank on a short  term basis at its
NBB subsidiary.   Liquidity was also  affected by a stock  repurchase that used
cash  totaling $7,762  and  the  building  of  a  new  corporate  headquarters.
Management does not anticipate that 1999 loan growth levels will be repeated in
2000 and accordingly, believes that liquidity needs can be met by extensions of
credit  by the  Federal Home  Loan Bank,  as well  as federal  funds purchased.
Other needs  for cash  include the  planned building  of a  new  branch by  the
Company's NBB subsidiary.   The Company had approximately $43,000  in available
credit at the Federal Home  Loan Bank at December 31, 1999.   Overall, based on
available information, management does  not expect demands for cash in  2000 to
reach 1999 levels.
     Management  is not  aware of  any  other commitments  or events  that will
result in or are reasonably likely to result in a material and adverse decrease
in liquidity.
     Net cash from operating activities of  $11,448 in 1999 increased by $6,201
from  1998 primarily due to the  increase in the provision  for loan losses and
the  decrease in  mortgage loans  held for  sale.  Net  cash flows  provided by
operating  activities and financing activities for 1999 of $11,448 and $24,161,
respectively, were used primarily to fund loan growth.
     Net cash from operating activities of $5,247 in 1998 decreased $2,326 from
1997 due primarily to the  increase in mortgage loans  held for sale offset  by
the increase  in net income.   Net cash flows provided  by operating activities
and financing activities  for 1998  of $5,247 and  $34,751, respectively,  were
used to fund the net increases in federal funds sold, securities, loans made to
customers  and purchases of loan  participations of $790,  $15,429, $18,675 and
$4,635, respectively.

CAPITAL RESOURCES
     Total  stockholders'  equity  decreased  $7,986  from  1998  to  1999  and
increased $4,474 from 1997 to  1998.  Cash dividends on common stock  of $2,814
and the repurchase of common stock of $7,762, offset by net income, contributed
to  the  decrease in  1999.   In  addition,  net unrealized  gains  (losses) on
securities  available for sale, net of  deferred income taxes, were ($3,453) at
December 31, 1999, $1,019 at December  31, 1998 and $194 at December  31, 1997.
These  unrealized  net  gains and  losses  are  recorded  as accumulated  other
comprehensive income (loss), 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.
     In  the second  quarter of  1999, the Company  repurchased 275,856  of its
common  shares at  $28.00 per  share.   This  reduced  stockholders' equity  by
$7,762.
     The Company has operated from a consistently strong capital position.  The
ratio of total stockholders' equity to total assets was 11.17% at year end 1999
compared  to 13.14% at year  end 1998 and  13.41% at year end  1997.  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 banks'  risk-based capital ratios.
No regulatory authorities have advised  National Bankshares, Inc., The National
Bank  of Blacksburg or Bank of Tazewell  County of any specific leverage ratios
applicable  to them. National Bankshares, Inc., The National Bank of Blacksburg

and  Bank  of  Tazewell  County's capital  adequacy  ratios  exceed  regulatory
requirements  and  provide  added flexibility  to  take  advantage of  business
opportunities as  they arise.  See  note 11 of Notes  to Consolidated Financial
Statements for additional information.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
     On December  26,  1997, NBB  entered  into an  agreement to  purchase  the
assets, including real estate  and improvements, and assume the  liabilities of
the  Galax,  Virginia branch  office of  First  American Federal  Savings Bank.
Settlement of this  purchase agreement occurred  on April 3,  1998 and did  not
have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or liquidity.

YEAR 2000
     The Company was  cognizant of the risks  posed by the Year 2000  issue for
Bank operations  and borrowers.  Subsequent  to December 31,  1999, the Company
was not aware of any information that indicates a significant vendor or service
provider may be unable to sell goods or provide services to the Company because
of Year 2000 issues.   Further, the Company has not received  any notifications
from borrowers or regulatory agencies  to which it is subject, nor is  it aware
of any  such information which  indicates that (1)  a borrower has  experienced
significant issues  which may impact its  ability to service its  loan or which
may  impact its  borrowing  agreement terms  or  covenants or  (2)  significant
regulatory action is being or may be  taken against the Company, as a result of
Year 2000 issues.
     The Company has not  experienced any significant disruptions  to financial
or operating  activities caused by  failure in  computerized systems  resulting
from Year 2000 issues.  Management  does not expect Year 2000 issues to  have a
material adverse effect  on the  Company's operations or  financial results  in
2000.
     The  Company was  prepared  for the  millennium  change and  continues  to
successfully  operate and  handle the transactions  of customers  subsequent to
December 31, 1999.

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 subsidiaries  as of December  31, 1999 and  1998, and the
related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, changes  in
stockholders' equity,  and cash flows for  each of the years  in the three-year
period  ended December 31, 1999.   These consolidated  financial statements are
the  responsibility  of the  Company's 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 subsidiaries as  of December 31,  1999 and 1998,  and the
results  of their operations and their cash flows  for each of the years in the
three-year period ended December 31, 1999 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

As discussed in note 1(S) to the consolidated financial statements, the Company
adopted  the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and  Hedging Activities," as of  October
1, 1998.

National Bankshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries

$ In thousands, except share and per share data.
December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
     The  accounting  and  reporting  policies  of  National  Bankshares,  Inc.
(Bankshares) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, The National Bank of Blacksburg
(NBB)  and Bank  of  Tazewell  County  (BTC),  conform  to  generally  accepted
accounting principles and general practices within the banking industry.
     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 subsidiaries (the Company).
     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
          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.   The Company 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  income  and  deferred  fees 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.
          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.   All
     interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on nonaccrual
     status or charged-off is  reversed against interest income.   The interest
     on  these loans is  accounted for on  the cash basis  until qualifying for
     return  to accrual.   Loans are  returned to  accrual status  when all the
     principal and interest  amounts contractually due are  brought current and
     future payments are reasonably assured.
          Impaired loans are presented in the consolidated 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.   This  requirement

                                       23<PAGE>

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

     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.
          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.
          Mortgage loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair
     value on an individual loan basis.

     (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, 3-10 years for furniture and equipment, and
     5 years  for computer  software.   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.  Subsequent  decreases
     in the  net realizable value of  such properties are 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 $592 and $706  at
     December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, and goodwill of $382 and $420 at
     December 31, 1999 and  1998, respectively.  Deposit intangibles  are being
     amortized on a straight-line basis over  a ten-year period and goodwill is
     being amortized on a straight-line basis over a fifteen-year period.

     (I)  Stock Option Plan
          Effective  March   10,  1999,   the  Company  adopted   the  National
     Bankshares,  Inc. 1999  Stock  Option  Plan.    The  Company  applies  the
     intrinsic  value-based  method  of  accounting  prescribed  by  Accounting
     Principles Board (APB)  Opinion No.  25, "Accounting for  Stock Issued  to
     Employees," and related interpretations, in  accounting for its fixed plan
     stock  options.   As such, compensation  expense would be  recorded on the
     date of grant  only if the  current market price  of the underlying  stock
     exceeded the  exercise price.  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
     No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," established accounting
     and disclosure requirements using a fair  value-based method of accounting
     for stock-based employee compensation plans.  As allowed by Statement 123,

                                       24<PAGE>

National Bankshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries

     the Company has  elected to  continue to apply  the intrinsic  value-based
     method  of  accounting described  above,  and has  adopted  the disclosure
     requirements of Statement 123.

     (J)  Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets and Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed
          Of
          Long-lived assets and  certain identifiable intangibles  are reviewed
     for impairment  whenever events or changes in  circumstances indicate that
     the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  Recoverability of
     assets to be held  and used is  measured by a  comparison of the  carrying
     amount of  an asset to future  undiscounted net cash flows  expected to be
     generated by the asset.  If such assets are considered to be impaired, the
     impairment to  be  recognized  is measured  by  the amount  by  which  the
     carrying amount of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets.  Assets
     to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair
     value less costs to sell.

     (K)  Pension Plans
          On  January  1, 1998,  the  Company  adopted Statement  of  Financial
     Accounting  Standards No.  132, "Employers'  Disclosure about  Pension and
     Other  Post-retirement Benefits."    Statement 132  revises the  Company's
     disclosure  about  pension   and  other  post-retirement  benefit   plans.
     Statement 132 does not change the method of accounting for such plans.
          The Company sponsors two separate defined benefit pension plans which
     cover  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  Statement  87.    The  Company
     contributes to the pension plans amounts deductible for federal income tax
     purposes.

     (L)  Income Taxes
          Income  taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability 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.

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

     (N)  Net Income Per Share
          Basic net income per share is based upon the weighted average  number
     of common shares outstanding  (3,607,669 shares in 1999, and  3,792,833 in
     1998 and 1997).   Stock  options that could  potentially dilute basic  net
     income per share  in the future that were not  included in the computation
     of  diluted  net  income  per  share because  to  do  so  would  have been
     antidilutive totaled 5,500 at December 31, 1999 (see note 9).


                                       25<PAGE>

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

          In  February 1997,  the Financial  Accounting Standards  Board issued
     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share."
     Statement  128  established new  standards  for  computing and  presenting
     earnings per share (EPS) and applies to entities with publicly-held common
     stock or potential common stock.
          Basic  EPS  excludes dilution  and  is  computed by  dividing  income
     available to common stockholders by the weighted-average  number of common
     shares outstanding for  the period.   Diluted EPS  reflects the  potential
     dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common
     stock were  exercised or converted  into common  stock or resulted  in the
     issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.
          Statement 128 was adopted by the Company at December 31, 1997.

     (O)  Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments
          In the ordinary course of business, the Company 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.

     (P)  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, Interest-Bearing  Deposits and Federal
               Funds Sold
               The carrying amounts are a reasonable estimate of fair value.

          (2)  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.

          (3)  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 prepayments.   The
          estimate  of maturity is based on the Company's historical experience
          with repayments for each  loan classification, modified, as required,
          by  an estimate  of  the  effect  of  current  economic  and  lending
          conditions.






                                       26<PAGE>

National Bankshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries

               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.

          (4)  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.

          (5)  Other Borrowed Funds
               Other borrowed funds represents  treasury tax and loan deposits,
          and  short-term  borrowings from  the Federal  Home  Loan Bank.   The
          carrying  amount is a reasonable  estimate of fair  value because the
          deposits  are  generally  repaid  within  1  to  120  days  from  the
          transaction date.

          (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, 1999
          and  1998,  and as  such,  the  related  fair  values have  not  been
          estimated.

     (Q)  Transfers and  Servicing of  Financial Assets and  Extinguishments of
          Liabilities
          The  Company adopted the provisions of Statement No. 125, "Accounting
     for Transfers  and Servicing  of Financial  Assets and Extinguishments  of
     Liabilities,"  on January 1, 1997.  This Statement provides accounting and
     reporting  standards for transfers  and servicing of  financial assets and
     extinguishments  of  liabilities  based  on consistent  application  of  a
     financial-components  approach  that  focuses  on  control.    Under  that
     approach, after a transfer  of financial assets, an entity  recognizes the
     financial  and servicing  assets it  controls and  the liabilities  it has
     incurred, derecognizes financial assets when control has been surrendered,
     and derecognizes  liabilities when extinguished.   This Statement provides
     consistent standards for distinguishing transfers of financial assets that
     are sales from transfers that are secured borrowings.  This Statement also
     provides implementation guidance  for assessing  isolation of  transferred
     assets and for accounting for transfers of partial interests, servicing of
     financial assets,  securitizations,  transfers of  sales-type  and  direct
     financing  lease receivables, securities  lending transactions, repurchase
     agreements including  "dollar rolls," "wash sales,"  loan syndications and
     participations,  risk participations  in  banker's acceptances,  factoring
     arrangements,  transfers of receivables with recourse, and extinguishments
     of liabilities.   Statement No.  127, "Deferral of  the Effective  Date of
     Certain Provisions  of Statement 125,"  issued in December  1996, deferred
     until January  1, 1998 the effective date (a) of paragraph 15 of Statement
     125 and (b) for repurchase agreement, dollar-roll, securities lending, and
     similar transactions,  of paragraphs  9-12 and  237(b)  of Statement  125.
     Statement 125  was required to be  adopted on a prospective  basis and its
     adoption  did  not  have a  material  impact  on  the Company's  financial
     position, results of operations or liquidity.

                                       27<PAGE>

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

     (R)  Comprehensive Income
          On  January  1,  1998, the  Company  adopted  Statement of  Financial
     Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income."  Statement
     130 establishes standards for  reporting and presentation of comprehensive
     income  and  its components  in a  full set  of general  purpose financial
     statements.    Statement  130 was  issued  to  address  concerns over  the
     practice of reporting elements of comprehensive income directly in equity.
          The  Company is  required to classify  items of  "Other Comprehensive
     Income" [such as net unrealized gains (losses) on securities available for
     sale] by their nature in a financial statement and present the accumulated
     balance of  other comprehensive  income separately from  retained earnings
     and additional paid-in-capital  in the  equity section of  a statement  of
     financial   position.    It  does   not  require  per   share  amounts  of
     comprehensive income to be disclosed.
          In accordance with the  provisions of the Statement, the  Company has
     included Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income in the
     accompanying  consolidated financial  statements.    Comprehensive  income
     consists of net  income and  net unrealized gains  (losses) on  securities
     available for sale.   Also, accumulated other  comprehensive income (loss)
     is included as a separate disclosure within the Consolidated Statements of
     Changes in Stockholders' Equity in the accompanying consolidated financial
     statements.  The adoption of Statement 130 did not have  any effect on the
     Company's  consolidated   financial  position,  results  of  operation  or
     liquidity.

     (S)  Derivatives
          In  June  1998,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  issued
     Statement  of  Financial Accounting  Standards  No.  133, "Accounting  for
     Derivative  Instruments  and Hedging  Activities."    The Company  adopted
     Statement  133 as of October 1, 1998.   In connection with the adoption of
     Statement 133, the Company transferred securities with a carrying value of
     approximately $20,516 from  held to maturity to available for  sale.  This
     transfer  of securities  resulted in  an increase  in unrealized  gains on
     securities  available for  sale, comprehensive  income, accumulated  other
     comprehensive income  and stockholders' equity of  approximately $469, net
     of income taxes  of $242, as of  October 1, 1998,  which is reported as  a
     cumulative effect of an accounting change.  Except as discussed above, the
     adoption  of  Statement  133  did  not  have  a  material  effect  on  the
     consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity of the
     Company.

     (T)  Use of Estimates
          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
     borrowers,  as  well  as  regulatory  agency action  as  a  result  of  an
     examination,  could  cause  NBB and  BTC  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 Company leases a branch facility as well as certain other office space
under noncancellable  operating leases  that expire over  the next  five years.
The future minimum lease payments under these leases (with initial or remaining
lease terms in excess of one year) as of December 31, 1999 are as follows:  $51
in 2000, $50 in 2001, $43 in 2002 and $33 in 2003.

Note 7: Time Deposits
     Included  in time  deposits are  certificates  of deposit  and other  time
deposits of  $100 or more in  the aggregate amounts of $46,172  at December 31,
1999 and  $46,257 at December  31, 1998.  At  December 31, 1999,  the scheduled
maturities  of time deposits are as follows: $152,147 in 2000, $43,490 in 2001,
$9,692 in 2002, $8,297 in 2003 and $5,594 in 2004.

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, 1999, 1998 and 1997,
NBB contributed $102, $91 and $87, respectively, to the plan.
     Bankshares has a  nonleveraged Employee Stock Ownership  Plan (ESOP) which
enables employees of the sole participating employer, NBB, who have one year of
service  and who have attained the age of  21 prior to the plan's January 1 and
July 1 enrollment dates to own  Bankshares common stock.  Contributions to  the
ESOP are determined annually by  the Board of Directors.  Contribution  expense
amounted to $162, $0 and $219  for the years ended December 31, 1999,  1998 and
1997, respectively.  Dividends on ESOP shares are charged to retained earnings.
As  of December 31, 1999, the  number of allocated shares  held by the ESOP was
76,680 and the number of unallocated shares was 1,951.  All shares held by  the
ESOP are treated as outstanding in computing the Company's basic net income per
share.  Bankshares or  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  Bankshares  or the  ESOP,  with the  agreement  of the  Trustee,  would be
obligated to  purchase those  shares.   The ESOP  contains a  put option  which
allows a withdrawing participant to require Bankshares or the ESOP, if the plan
administrator agrees, to purchase his or her allocated shares if the shares are

not readily tradeable on an established market at the time of its distribution.
Since the shares were not readily tradeable at December 31, 1998, 77,301 shares
of stock held by the  ESOP, at their estimated  fair value, which was based  on
the most  recent  available  independent  valuation,  is  recorded  outside  of
stockholders' equity as  of December  31, 1998.   Effective  December 1,  1999,
Bankshares' common  stock began trading  on the Nasdaq  SmallCap Market.   As a
result of being listed on an established national exchange, presentation of the
fair  value of  the  shares  of  common  stock held  by  the  ESOP  outside  of
stockholders' equity is no longer required at December 31, 1999.
     The  Company also  sponsors two  separate noncontributory  defined benefit
pension  plans  which cover  substantially all  of  its employees.  The pension
plans' 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 NBB  pension  plan's  assets  are invested
principally in  U.S. Government agency  obligations (30%), mutual  funds (32%),
corporate bonds (5%) and equity securities (33%).   BTC's pension plan's assets
are invested principally in  BTC certificates of deposit (4%),  U.S. Government
agency obligations (81%) and equity securities (15%).

Note 9: Stock Option Plan
     Effective March  10, 1999,  the Company  adopted the  National Bankshares,
Inc.  1999  Stock Option  Plan  to give  key  employees of  Bankshares  and its
subsidiaries  an opportunity  to  acquire shares  of National  Bankshares, Inc.
common  stock.   The purpose of  the 1999 Stock  Option Plan is  to promote the
success of  Bankshares and its  subsidiaries by  providing an incentive  to key
employees  that enhances the identification of their personal interest with the
long  term financial  success  of the  Company and  with growth  in stockholder
value.  Under the 1999  Stock Option Plan, up  to 250,000 shares of  Bankshares
common stock may be granted.  The 1999 Stock Option Plan is administered by the
Stock Option Committee, which  is made up of  all of the non-employee,  outside
directors  of National  Bankshares,  Inc.    The  Stock  Option  Committee  may
determine whether  options are incentive  stock options  or nonqualified  stock
options and may determine the other terms of  grants, such as number of shares,
term, a vesting schedule  and the exercise price.   The 1999 Stock Option  Plan
limits the maximum term of any option granted to ten years, states that options
may be granted at not less than fair market value on the date of  the grant and
contains  certain other  limitations on the  exercisability of  incentive stock
options.  The options vest 25% after  one year, 50% after two years, 75%  after

                                       36<PAGE>

National Bankshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries

three years and 100% after  four years.  At the discretion of  the Stock Option
Committee, options  may  be  awarded  with  the  provision  that  they  may  be
accelerated   upon  a  change  of  control,   merger,  consolidation,  sale  or
dissolution of National Bankshares, Inc.
     At December 31, 1999,  there were 244,500 additional shares  available for
grant under the  Plan.  The per share weighted-average  estimated fair value of
stock options granted  during 1999  was $2.38 on  the date  of grant using  the
Black  Scholes  option-pricing   model  with  the  following   weighted-average
assumptions:   1999 - expected cash dividend  yield of 3.41% percent, risk-free
interest rate  of 6.38% percent, expected  volatility of 18.60% percent  and an
expected life of ten years.
     The Company  applies APB Opinion  No. 25 in  accounting for its  Plan and,
accordingly,  no compensation cost has been recognized for its stock options in
the consolidated  financial statements.  Proforma  compensation cost determined
in  accordance with Statement  123 was  not material and  had no  impact on net
income per share presented.
     Stock option activity during the periods indicated is as follows:

     The  Company has  determined  that  a valuation  allowance  for the  gross
deferred  tax assets is not necessary at December  31, 1999 and 1998 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.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 11: Restrictions on Payments of Dividends and Capital Requirements
     Bankshares' principal source of  funds for dividend payments  is dividends
received from  its subsidiary banks.   For the  years ended December  31, 1999,
1998  and 1997, dividends received  from subsidiary banks  were $10,538, $5,341
and $2,712, respectively.   Additional funds dividended  to the parent in  1999
were used primarily for a common stock repurchase.
     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  December 31,
1999, retained net income which was free of such restriction at NBB amounted to
approximately $198.   There was no retained income free  of this restriction at
BTC at December 31, 1999.
     Bankshares and its subsidiaries are subject to various regulatory  capital
requirements administered by  the bank  regulatory agencies.   Failure to  meet
minimum  capital  requirements can  initiate  certain  mandatory, and  possibly
additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have
a direct  material effect on  the Company's consolidated  financial statements.
Under capital  adequacy  guidelines and  the  regulatory framework  for  prompt
corrective  action, Bankshares and its  subsidiaries must meet specific capital
guidelines that involve quantitative measures  of their assets, liabilities and
certain  off-balance-sheet  items  as calculated  under  regulatory  accounting
practices.      Bankshares'  and   its   subsidiaries'   capital  amounts   and
classification are  also subject to  qualitative judgments by  regulators about
components, risk weightings and other factors.
     Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require  Bankshares and its subsidiaries to maintain minimum amounts and ratios
(set forth in the table below) of total  and Tier I capital (as defined in  the
regulations) to  risk weighted assets (as  defined), and of Tier  I capital (as
defined) to average assets (as  defined).  Management believes, as of  December
31,  1999, that  Bankshares  and its  subsidiaries  meet all  capital  adequacy
requirements to which they are subject.
     Bankshares' and  its subsidiaries'  actual regulatory capital  amounts and
ratios are also presented in the following tables.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

     As   of  December  31,  1999,  the  most  recent  notifications  from  the
appropriate regulatory  authorities categorized Bankshares and its subsidiaries
as adequately capitalized under the regulatory framework for  prompt corrective
action.   To  be  categorized as  adequately  capitalized, Bankshares  and  its
subsidiaries must  maintain minimum  total risk-based,  Tier I risk-based,  and
Tier I leverage  ratios as set forth in the table.   There are no conditions or
events  since  those  notifications   that  management  believes  have  changed
Bankshares' and its subsidiaries' category.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 13: Supplemental Cash Flow Information
     The Company paid  $14,199, $14,003  and $13,084 for  interest and  $2,941,
$2,631 and  $2,719 for income  taxes, net of refunds,  in 1999, 1998  and 1997,
respectively.  Noncash investing activities consisted of $978, $638 and $679 of
loans charged against  the allowance for  loan losses in  1999, 1998 and  1997,
respectively.  Noncash investing activities also included $177 in 1999, $382 in
1998 and $159  in 1997 of  loans transferred to  other real  estate owned.   In
addition,  for the  years  ended  December 31,  1999,  1998 and  1997,  noncash
investing  activities included  changes  in net  unrealized  gains (losses)  on
securities  available for  sale  of ($6,776),  $1,250  and $670,  respectively,
changes  in deferred tax assets included in  other assets of $2,304, ($425) and
($228),  respectively,  and  changes  in  net  unrealized  gains   (losses)  on
securities available  for sale  included in stockholders'  equity of  ($4,472),
$825  and  $442, respectively.   Securities,  classified  as held  to maturity,
totaling approximately  $20,516, were  transferred to securities  available for
sale  in   1998.    This  was  in  accordance  with  the  reassessment  of  the
classification  of  securities allowed  by  Statement No.  133  "Accounting for
Derivative  Instruments  and  Hedging Activities,"  which  was  adopted  by the
Company on October 1, 1998.

Note 14: Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk
     The Company 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 the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments.
     The Company'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.   The  Company  uses the  same  credit  policies in  making
commitments  and  conditional  obligations  as it  does  for  on-balance  sheet
instruments.
     The  Company may  require  collateral or  other  security to  support  the
following financial instruments with credit risk:

                                                     December 31,
       ($ In thousands)                           1999         1998
                                                  ----         ----
       Financial instruments whose contract
        amounts represent credit risk:
         Commitments to extend credit           $52,932        53,498
                                                =======       =======

         Standby letters of credit              $ 5,109         3,320
                                                =======       =======
         Mortgage loans sold with potential
          recourse                              $33,489        39,697
                                                =======       =======

     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

                                       46<PAGE>

National Bankshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries

to  expire  without being  drawn  upon, the  total  commitment  amounts do  not
necessarily represent future  cash requirements.   The  Company evaluates  each
customer's  creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis.  The amount of collateral
obtained, if  required by the  Company 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 approximately equally divided between fixed and  variable
rate in  nature, except for  construction loans which  are at fixed  rates, but
have terms generally less than one year.
     Standby  letters  of  credit are  conditional  commitments  issued by  the
Company 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.
     The  Company  originates  mortgage  loans  for  sale  to  secondary market
investors subject  to contractually specified and  limited recourse provisions.
In 1999, the Company originated $31,538 and sold $33,489 to investors, compared
to  $41,472 originated  and $39,697  sold in  1998.   Every contract  with each
investor contains  certain recourse language.   In general, the Company  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, the Company 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.

Note 15:  Concentrations of Credit Risk
     The  Company does  a  general banking  business,  serving the  commercial,
agricultural  and personal  banking  needs  of  its  customers.    NBB's  trade
territory, commonly referred to as the New River Valley, consists of Montgomery
and Giles  Counties and the  City of Galax,  Virginia and portions  of adjacent
counties.  NBB's  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   Institute  and  State  University,
Montgomery  County Schools  and  Celanese.   Other  industries include  a  wide
variety of  manufacturing, retail and service concerns.  Most of BTC's business
originates from the communities of Tazewell and Bluefield and other communities
in  Tazewell County,  Virginia  and in  Mercer County,  West  Virginia.   BTC's
service  area has largely depended on the  coal mining industry and farming for
its economic base.  In recent years, coal companies have mechanized and reduced
the  number of persons engaged  in the production  of coal.  There  are still a
number  of support  industries for  the coal  mining business that  continue to
provide employment in the area.  Additionally, several new businesses have been
established in the area and  Bluefield, West Virginia has begun to emerge  as a
regional  medical center.  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 these areas.
     At  December  31,  1999  and  1998,  approximately  $130,000  and $94,000,
respectively, of the loan portfolio was concentrated in commercial real estate.
This represents approximately 44% and 39% of the loan portfolio at December 31,
1999 and 1998,  respectively.  Included  in commercial real estate  at December
31, 1999 and 1998 was approximately $85,000 and $64,000, respectively, in loans

                                       47<PAGE>

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

for  college housing  and  professional office  buildings.   Loans  secured  by
residential  real estate were approximately $74,000 and $67,000 at December 31,
1999 and 1998, respectively.  This  represents approximately 25% and 28% of the
loan portfolio at December 31,  1999 and 1998, respectively.  Loans  secured by
automobiles were approximately  $33,000 and  $32,000 at December  31, 1999  and
1998, respectively.  This represents approximately 11% of the loan portfolio at
December 31, 1999 and 13% at December 31, 1998
     The Company  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.
Interest-bearing deposits with  banks represent deposits with  the Federal Home
Loan Bank of Atlanta.  Management considers the concentration of credit risk to
be minimal.

Note 16: Fair Value of Financial Instruments
     The  estimated  fair  values of  the  Company's  financial instruments  at
December 31, 1999 and 1998 are as follows:

                                           December 31,

     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  the Company's entire  holdings of a  particular

                                       48<PAGE>

financial instrument.   Because no market  exists for a significant  portion of
the  Company's  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.
     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 the 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 17: Business Combinations
     On December  26,  1997, NBB  entered  into an  agreement  to purchase  the
assets, including real estate  and improvements, and assume the  liabilities of
the Galax, Virginia, branch office of First American Federal Savings Bank.  The
transaction, which was  subject to  regulatory approval, closed  in the  second
quarter of 1998.  It did not have a material impact on the Company's results of
operations or liquidity.

Note 18: Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
     Other  comprehensive  income  (loss)  net  of  income  taxes  and  net  of
reclassification adjustments between net  income and other comprehensive income
(loss)   relating  to  securities  available  for  sale  are  reported  in  the
