Note 6.      New Accounting Pronouncements

         FASB  Statement No. 133,  "Accounting  for Derivative  Instruments  and
Hedging Activities",  was issued in June 1998. This statement requires companies
to record  derivatives on the balance sheet as assets and liabilities,  measured
at fair value.  Gains and losses  resulting  from changes in the values of those
derivatives  would be accounted for depending on the use of the  derivative  and
whether it qualifies  for hedge  accounting.  This  statement is not expected to
have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.  This statement is
effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999, with earlier  adoption
encouraged.  The  Company  will adopt this  accounting  standard  as required by
January 1, 2000.

Item 2.      MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION  AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL  CONDITION  AND
             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Financial Summary

         Net income for the three months ended March 31, 1999  increased 1.4% to
$722  thousand or $.40 per diluted  share for the first quarter of 1999 compared
to $712  thousand or $.39 per diluted  share for the first three months of 1998.
Annualized  returns on average  assets and equity for the period ended March 31,
1999 were 1.40% and 12.75%,  respectively,  compared to 1.54% and 13.66% for the
same period in 1998.

         The  total  assets  of  Independent  Community  Bankshares,  Inc.  (the
"Company")  increased  to $212.5  million at March 31,  1999  compared to $205.4
million at December  31, 1998  representing  an increase of $7.1  million or 3%.
Total loans at March 31, 1999, were $126.8 million,  an increase of $1.9 million
from the  December  31, 1998 balance of $124.9  million.  Continued  loan demand
fueled the loan  growth  experienced  for the first  three  months of 1999.  The
investment  portfolio increased 4.8% to $60.6 million at March 31, 1999 compared
to the $57.8  million  balance at December 31, 1998.  Funds from deposit  growth
were  used  to  purchase  both  obligations  of  U.S.  Government  Agencies  and
obligations of States and Political  Subdivisions.  Deposits increased to $177.9
million at March 31, 1999, from the $172.3 million balance at December 31, 1998,
representing an increase of $5.6 million or 3.4%.

         Shareholders'  equity at March 31, 1999 totaled $23.1 million  compared
to $22.9 million at December 31, 1998.  The book value per common share on March
31,1999 was $12.98 per share compared to $12.85 at December 31, 1998.

Net Interest Income

         Net interest  income is the  Company's  primary  source of earnings and
represents the difference between interest and fees earned on earning assets and
the interest  expense paid on deposits and other interest  bearing  liabilities.
Net  interest  income  totaled  $2.2  million for the first three months of 1999
compared to $2.0 million for the same period in 1998.  Net  interest  income has
been  positively  affected by a 5.58% increase in average  earning assets during
the first quarter of 1999.

Noninterest Income

         Service charges on deposit  accounts for the first three months of 1999
totaled $246 thousand  compared to $214 thousand for the same period in 1998, an
increase  of 15%.  Commission  and fees  from  fiduciary  activities  were  $248
thousand at March 31, 1999  compared to $220  thousand at March 31, 1998.  Other
Operating  Income  increased  to $177  thousand  at March 31,  1999 from the $38
thousand balance at March 31, 1998. Non-deposit investment sales commissions and
loan fees from the mortgage banking  department  within The Middleburg Bank, the
Company's  banking  subsidiary,  account for a majority of the increase in other
operating income.  The Middleburg Bank opened its mortgage banking department in
April 1998.

Noninterest Expense

         In support of the Company's continued growth, total noninterest expense
consisting of employee related costs,  occupancy and other overhead totaled $1.9
million for the first three months of 1999 compared to $1.5 million for the same
period of 1998.  This  represents  a 26.6%  increase  or $397  thousand.  Branch
expansion  and  mortgage  banking has  increased  salary and benefit  expense by
20.32% from $871  thousand in the first  quarter of 1998 to $1.0 million for the
same period in 1999. Increased marketing and Year 2000 expenses further added to
the increase in non-interest expense.

Allowance for Loan Losses

         The allowance for loan losses at March 31, 1999 was $1.2 million.  This
is an increase of $100 thousand or 8.4% from December 31, 1998. The ratio of the
allowance  for loan  losses  to gross  loans is .90%.  Management  believes  the
allowance  for loan losses is adequate to cover  credit  losses  inherent in the
loan  portfolio  at  March  31,  1999.  Loans  classified  as  loss,   doubtful,
substandard or special mention are adequately  reserved for and are not expected
to have a material impact beyond what has been reserved.

Capital Resources

         Shareholder's  equity at March 31, 1999 was $23.1  million  compared to
$22.9  million at December  31, 1998.  The  retention of net income is the major
contributing factor to the growth in shareholders' equity.

         At March 31, 1999 the Company's tier 1 and total  risked-based  capital
ratios  were  15.34% and  16.15%,  respectively,  compared to 17.1% and 17.9% at
December 31, 1998.  The  Company's  leverage  ratio was 10.69% at March 31, 1999
compared  to a ratio of 11.17% at  December  31,  1998.  The  Company's  capital
structure  places it above the regulatory  guidelines  which affords the Company
the opportunity to take advantage of business  opportunities while ensuring that
it has resources to protect against the risks inherent in its business.

Year 2000

         In  recent  months,  there has been  increasing  public  awareness  and
attention  paid to the year 2000  problem,  which  stems from the  inability  of
certain  computerized  devices  (hardware,  software and  equipment)  to process
year-dates  properly  after 1999.  Leap years and other dates may be included as
related  to the year 2000  problem.  Affected  devices  may fail or  malfunction
unless  repaired or replaced.  Although the actual  magnitude  and effect of the
issue cannot be reasonably  determined in advance, the Company has given it high
priority by appointing a Year 2000 team.

         In  1997  the  Year  2000  team  began  its  analysis  of the  possible
implications  to the Company of the year 2000 problem and the  development  of a
plan to prevent  the  problem  from  adversely  affecting  its  operations.  The
Company's  year 2000 plans are subject to guidelines  promulgated by the Federal
Financial Institutions  Examination Council ("FFIEC").  The Federal Reserve Bank
of  Richmond  periodically  measures  the  status  of the  Company's  plans  and
progress, as outlined in the FFIEC guidelines.

         The plan as  adopted  and  refined by the  Company to handle  year 2000
issues can be divided into two principal areas:



                                      -11-
<PAGE>

         (1)      Resolution  of the internal  aspects of the year 2000 problem.
                  The focus of this area  includes  the effects of the year 2000
                  problem  on  the  Company's  technology,   including  computer
                  hardware  and  software   systems.   The  Company's   internal
                  technology   plan   includes   (a)   locating,   listing   and
                  prioritizing  the  specific  technology  that  is  potentially
                  subject  to  the  year  2000  problem   (referred  to  as  the
                  "inventory"  phase), (b) assessing the actual exposure of such
                  technology  to the year 2000  problem  by  inquiry,  research,
                  testing  and  other  means  (the  "assessment"   phase),   (c)
                  selecting  the  method  necessary  to  resolve  the year  2000
                  problems that were identified, including replacement, upgrade,
                  repair or abandonment and implementing the selected resolution
                  method  (the   "remediation"   phase),  and  (d)  testing  the
                  remediated  or converted  technology to determine the efficacy
                  of the resolutions (the "testing" phase).

         (2)      Determination  and control of the external aspects of the year
                  2000  problem.  The focus of this area  includes (a) assessing
                  the  potential for credit and  liquidity  problems  within the
                  Company  as a  result  of the  investments  in,  loans  to and
                  deposits from our significant customers as well as the risk of
                  possible business  interruption by relying on vendors of goods
                  and  services  due  to  year  2000  problems  affecting  their
                  technology or business,  and (b) developing  contingency plans
                  to address failures by external parties to remediate fully any
                  year  2000   problems   that  are  material  to  the  Company.
                  Assessment of external  parties is accomplished by written and
                  verbal  inquiry,  and by research to the extent that  reliable
                  information is available.

         The Company had substantially  completed both the internal and external
testing by December  31,  1998 and plans to further  test its  computer  systems
during 1999 to confirm compliance with year 2000 data processing standards.  The
Company  considers its current  state of readiness in  addressing  the year 2000
problem to be  adequate  and  expects to meet the  timetable.  The total cost of
remediation  and  testing is  estimated  to be between  $250  thousand  and $350
thousand, with a majority of the costs being incurred during 1998. This estimate
includes some costs, such as the purchase of computer hardware and software that
qualifies as a depreciable or amortizable assets for accounting  purposes,  with
the related depreciation or amortization  recognized over the estimated lives of
the  related  assets.  However,  the  majority  of the costs will be expensed as
incurred. Through December 31, 1998, the Company had incurred approximately $175
thousand in noninterest expense associated with the year 2000 problem.

         The Company has concluded that customer  awareness  about year 2000 and
banking is the key factor in minimizing  customer  concerns  about the Company's
progress in planning for the year 2000. During 1999, the Company plans to inform
its customers about its progress through question and answer brochures, seminars
and direct mailings.

         The Year 2000 team of has developed a preliminary  contingency plan for
areas  deemed  "mission  critical"  for  continual  operation.  The  preliminary
contingency plan considers the likelihood of problem  occurrences  based on test
results.  The  Company's   preliminary  and  final  contingency  plan  addresses
operational  issues,  including  communication links with other entities and the
utility and availability of alternative sources among key vendor  relationships.
The Year 2000 team  anticipates  presenting its preliminary  contingency plan to
the Board of  Directors  early in 1999 with final  contingency  plan  tested and
complete by mid 1999. The Year 2000 team will monitor the status of each item as
well.

         At this time, the Company believes that the most likely worst case year
2000  scenario  would not have a  material  effect on the  Company's  results of
operations,  liquidity and financial  condition for the year ending December 31,
2000.  The Company  does not foresee a material  loss of revenue due to the year
2000 problem.  The Company's  contingency plan, however, is based on assessments
of the  likelihood of a  problematic  occurrence;  the Company  believes that no
entity can address the virtually



                                      -12-
<PAGE>

unlimited possible circumstances  relating to year 2000 issues,  including risks
outside of the Company's primary marketplace of Loudoun County,  Virginia. While
considered  unlikely,  the failure of the Company to successfully  implement its
year 2000 plan, including modifications and conversions, or to adequately assess
the likelihood of various events  relating to the year 2000 issue,  could have a
material  adverse  effect on the Company's  results of operations  and financial
condition.

         Additionally,  there can be no assurances  that the federal  regulators
will not issue new regulatory  requirements that require  additional work by the
Company and, if issued,  that new regulatory  requirements will not increase the
cost or delay the completion of the Company's year 2000 plan.

         The cost of the  project  and the date on which  the  Company  plans to
complete the year 2000  modifications  are based on management's best estimates,
which are based on numerous assumptions of future events including the continued
availability  of certain  resources,  third party  modification  plans and other
factors.  There can be no guarantee  that these  estimates  will be achieved and
actual results could differ  materially  from our plans.  Specific  factors that
might  cause such  material  differences  include,  but are not  limited to, the
availability  of  personnel  trained in this area,  the  ability of third  party
vendors to correct  their  software  and  hardware,  the ability of  significant
customers to remedy their year 2000 issues and similar uncertainties.

Forward-Looking Statements

         Certain   information   contained  in  this   discussion   may  include
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended. These forward-looking statements are generally identified by phrases
such as "the  Company  expects,"  "the  Company  believes"  or words of  similar
import.  Such  forward-looking   statements  involve  known  and  unknown  risks
including,  but not  limited  to,  changes  in  general  economic  and  business
conditions, interest rate fluctuations,  competition within and from outside the
banking  industry,  new  products  and  services in the banking  industry,  risk
inherent in making  loans such as  repayment  risks and  fluctuating  collateral
values,  problems with  technology  utilized by the Company,  changing trends in
customer profiles and changes in laws and regulations applicable to the Company.
Although  the  Company  believes  that  its  expectations  with  respect  to the
forward-looking statements are based upon reliable assumptions within the bounds
