</TABLE>

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 March 31, 2001,
retained net income from the Company's NBB affiliate which was free of such
restriction amounted to approximately $1,968.

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

Note (5) Comprehensive Income

Effective January 1, 2001 the Company changed its method of presentation
concerning comprehensive income. Prior to 2001, comprehensive income was
reflected as part of the consolidated statement of income. Comprehensive income
is now presented as a separate component of the Company's consolidated statement
of changes in stockholders' equity.

National Bankshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries
(In 000's, except for % data)


Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations (In thousands, except for per share data)

The purpose of this discussion is to provide information about the
financial condition and results of operations of National Bankshares, Inc. and
its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the Company), which are not otherwise apparent
from the consolidated financial statements and other information included in
this report. Reference should be made to the financial statements and other
information included in this report as well as the 2000 Annual Report and Form
10-K for an understanding of the following discussion and analysis.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q 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.

Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the Three Months
Ended March 31, 2001
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2001 was $1,616 which
represents a decline of $236 or 12.7% when compared to the same period in 2000.
The annualized return on average assets for the three months ended March 31,
2001 was 1.06% and 1.58% for March 31, 2000. The annualized return on average
equity was 10.54% for the period ended March 31, 2001 and 13.94% for March 31,
2000.

Earnings per share for the period ended March 31, 2001 was $0.46 and
$0.53 in 2000 for the same period.

Other comprehensive income net of reclass adjustments was $1,433 for the
first quarter of 2001 as shown in the Statement of Stockholders' Equity.



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

Net interest income at the end of the first quarter of 2001 was $5,383,
an increase of $425 or 8.6%. Interest income increased $2,537 or 28.7%, when the
period ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 are compared. The yield on earning assets
was 8.33%, increasing 6 basis points from March 31, 2000. Interest expense
increased $2,112, or 54.4%, when the two periods are compared. The cost to fund
earning assets for the period ended March 31, 2001 was 4.26% or a 75 basis point
increase from the same period in 2000.

The underlying cause of these results was the rising interest rate
environment that existed until January 2001. During the year 2000 rates remained
high and negatively affected loan growth while at the same time, deposit costs
were steadily increasing. Acquisition activity also played a role in the
decline. During the period from March 31, 2000 to March 31, 2001 the Company
acquired seven branches divested from other bank holding companies. This
involved approximately $128,000 in new deposits.

While assumption of the interest expense on these deposits was
immediate, it was not possible to channel the new funds into the loan portfolio
due to economic conditions. Surplus funds, instead, were placed in the lower
yielding investment portfolio. Accordingly, interest expense grew at a faster
rate than interest income.

While the short-term effects of the merger activities are deemed to be
slightly negative initially, management believes the intermediate and long term
effects to be very positive. First, the rising rate environment ended in the
first quarter with a series of substantial cuts in rates effected by the Federal
Reserve, which in managements' opinion should stimulate loan growth. Second, as
a result of the acquisition activities the Company has gained the liquidity
needed to take advantage of the anticipated loan opportunities management
believes will occur.
15

Overall, management believes that the prospects for improvement are
good, barring any unforeseen events and assuming that overall economic
conditions improve as expected.

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.

The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to loans net of unearned
income was 1.08% at March 31, 2001. This compares to 1.15% at March 31, 2000.
The provision for the first three months of 2001 was $332, down $21 over the
same period the prior year.

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

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

Noninterest income for the period ended March 31, 2001 was $1,195, an
increase of $270 or 29.2%. All categories except realized gains/losses on
securities experienced substantial increases when the period ended March 31,
2001 and March 31, 2000 are compared.

Service charges on deposit accounts increased, accounting for $148 or
54.8% of the total increase in noninterest income. This increase was primarily
due to an increase in volume caused by the acquisition of six branches in
mid-November 2000 and to a lesser extent a single branch acquisition in March
2001.

Other service charges and fees increased by $13 when March 31, 2001 and
March 31, 2000 are compared.

Credit card fees increased $42 and 19.2%. This increase were primarily
due to volume.

Trust income increased by 32.38% when compared to the first three months
of 2000. Trust income is dependent on market conditions as well as the types of
accounts being handled at any given point in time. The level of estate business,
for example, cannot be predicted with any degree of precision.

Realized securities gains/losses were $(26) for the first quarter of
2001. Included in that amount is the write-down of the Company's portion of two
partnerships established for the sale of title insurance and insurance services.

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

Noninterest expense for the period ended March 31, 2001 was $4,061, an
increase of $1,070 or 35.8%. The majority of the increase as described below was
associated with acquisition activity.
16

Salaries and employee benefits increased by $361 or 23.2% when the
periods ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 are compared. This increase was largely
due to the acquisition of six branches in mid-November 2000 and to a lesser
extent a seventh branch acquired in March of 2001. Routine merit increases also
contributed to the increase.

Occupancy expenses increased $117 when the first quarter of 2001 and
2000 are compared. The 39.1% increase was largely attributable to the branch
acquisition referred to above, which increased, depreciation costs, taxes,
insurance and other fixed asset costs.

Data processing costs increased $143 or 65.6%. Maintenance costs,
particularly on ATM's, increased as a result of the branch acquisitions.

Credit card processing increased $23 or 10.8% due to volume.

Other operating costs increased $431 or 64.4% when the periods March 31,
2001 and 2000 are compared. Of this increase, amortization of intangibles
expense account for 37% of the increase, telephone 12%, stationary and supplies
8%, courier and armored car service 6%. The majority of these increases were
caused by acquisition activities. An additional 13% of the increase was related
to franchise taxes which increase with capital generated by earnings.

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

Total assets at March 31, 2001 were $650,314, an increase of $56,817 or
9.67% over period end assets at December 31, 2000.

Loans net of unearned income grew by $11,369 or 3.2%. Loans purchased in
a branch acquisition accounted for a majority of the increase.

Deposits purchased in a branch acquisition accounted for approximately
$34,000 of the increase of $53,715; the remainder of which was due to aggressive
deposit marketing activities.

Securities
- ----------

While securities available for sale declined by 9.5%, securities held to
maturity increased $44,680 on 137.2%. This represents an investment of funds
generated by the acquisition activity previously mentioned.

Loans
- -----

As previously mentioned the majority of loan growth was achieved by
purchasing a branch. The category experiencing the largest growth was loans to
individuals, which increased $7,847, or 7.1%, followed by commercial and
industrial loans, which increased $3,989 or 2.4%. Real estate construction loan
increased by $234 or 1.4%.

Fixed Asset
- -----------

The Company's investment in fixed assets increased $302 or 2.9% when
March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000 are compared.
17


Deposits
- --------

Total deposits increase $53,715 or 10.1% when March 31, 2001 and
December 21, 2000 are compared. Branch acquisition accounted for the majority of
this increase.

Noninterest bearing deposits grew by 2.9% with interest bearing demand
deposits growing by 1.9%. Saving deposits increased by 4.8% with the largest
increase occurring in time deposits, which grew by 23.9%.

Daily Averages
- --------------

Daily averages for the major categories are as follows:

(000's) March 31, 2001 March 31, 2000
=================== ==================
Loans, net $358,565 293,287
Securities 143,914 139,350
Total assets 607,733 470,378
Total deposits 543,265 404,746
Stockholders' equity 61,328 53,142


Liquidity
- ---------

Liquidity is the ability to provide sufficient cash levels to meet
financial commitments and to fund loan demand and deposit withdrawals. Cash from
operating activities was $2,122 primarily due to earnings. Cash used in
investing activities totaled $50,940. Primary uses were purchases of securities
held to maturity and loans purchased and interest-bearing deposits.

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

Total Stockholders' equity increased by $3,041 from December 31, 2000 to
March 31, 2001. Of that increase $1,433 was due to the change in unrealized
gains and losses on securities available for sale. Net income of $1,616
accounted for the remainder of the increase. During the first quarter of 2001,
500 shares of the Company's common stock were repurchased at $16.25 per share.

Acquisitions
- ------------

In September of 2000 the Company's BTC affiliate announced that it would
acquire a branch in Bluefield Virginia from First Union Bank. The acquisition
resulted in the addition of approximately $34,000 in deposits and approximately
$9,200 in loans. The acquisition was completed in March 2001.

Comprehensive Income
- --------------------

Effective January 1, 2001 the Company changed its method of presentation
concerning comprehensive income. Prior to 2001, comprehensive income was
reflected as part of the consolidated statement of income. Comprehensive income
is now presented as a separate component of the Company's consolidated statement
of changes in stockholders' equity.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Derivatives

The Company is not a party to derivative financial instruments with
off-balance sheet risks such as futures, forwards, swaps and options. The
Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risks such as
commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and recourse
obligations in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its
customers. Management does not plan any future involvement in high risk
derivative products. The Company has investments in collateralized mortgage
obligations, structured notes and other similar instruments that are included in
securities available for sale and securities held to maturity. The fair value of
these investments at March 31, 2001 approximated $4,140.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

The Company's securities and loans and its deposits are subject to
interest rate risk. The Company's profitability in the near term may temporarily
be affected, either positively by a falling interest rate scenario or negatively
by a period of rising rates.

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

At December 31, 2000 the Company reported its cumulative
interest-sensitivity gap to be ($172,742) at twelve months. At March 31, 2001
the cumulative interest-sensitivity gap declined to ($151,073) a decline of
$21,669 or 12.5%. This change was the result primarily of a Branch acquisition
that closed in March 2001. The Company, however, remains liability sensitive to
a large degree, which may prove to be advantageous in the current falling rate
environment.
