Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------

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 2001 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.

Critical Accounting Policies
- ----------------------------

General

The Company's financial statements are prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). The
financial information contained within our statements is, to a significant
extent, financial information that is based on measures of the financial effects
of transactions and events that have already occurred. A variety of factors
could affect the ultimate value that is obtained either when earning income,
recognizing an expense, recovering an asset or relieving a liability. We use
historical loss factors as one factor in determining the inherent loss that may
be present in our loan portfolio. Actual losses could differ significantly from
the historical factors that we use. In addition, GAAP itself may change from one
previously acceptable method to another method. Although the economics of our
transactions would be the same, the timing of events that would impact our
transactions could change.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is an estimate of the losses that may be
sustained in our loan portfolio. The allowance is based on two basic principles
of accounting: (i) SFAS 5, Accounting for Contingencies, which requires that
losses be accrued when they are probable of occurring and estimatable and (ii)
SFAS 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, which requires that
losses be accrued based on the differences between the value of collateral,
present value of future cash flows or values that are observable in the
secondary market and the loan balance.

Our allowance for loan losses has three basic components: the formula
allowance, the specific allowance and the unallocated allowance. Each of these
components is determined based upon estimates that can and do change when the
actual events occur. The formula allowance uses a historical loss view as an
indicator of future losses and, as a result, could differ from the loss incurred
in the future. However, since this history is updated with the most recent loss
information, the errors that might otherwise occur are mitigated. The specific
allowance uses various techniques to arrive at an estimate of loss. Historical
loss information, expected cash flows and fair market value of collateral are
used to estimate these losses. The use of these values in inherently subjective
and our actual losses could be greater or less than the estimates. The
unallocated allowance captures losses that are attributable to various economic


14
events, industry or geographic sectors whose impact on the portfolio have
occurred but have yet to be recognized in either the formula or specific
allowance.

Core deposit intangibles

In July, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued two
statements - Statement 141, Business Combinations, and Statement 142, Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets, which could potentially impact the accounting for
goodwill and other intangible assets. Statement 141 eliminated the pooling
method of accounting for business combinations and required that intangible
assets that meet certain criteria be reported separately from goodwill.
Statement 142 eliminated the amortization of goodwill and other intangibles that
are determined to have an indefinite life. The Statement requires, at a minimum,
annual impairment tests for goodwill and other intangible assets that are
determined to have an indefinite life.

Subsequent to the effective date of SFAS 142 an apparent conflict with
SFAS 72 was raised as an issue, which allows certain intangibles arising from
Bank and Thrift acquisitions to be amortized over their estimated useful lives.

Upon adoption of these Statements, the Company re-evaluated its
intangible assets that arose from branch acquisitions prior to July 1, 2001. It
was determined that the intangible assets arising from branch acquisitions will
continue to be amortized over their estimated lives in accordance with SFAS 72.
In the past, the Company has classified intangibles arising from branch
purchases exclusively to core deposit intangibles. The Company will to continue
to amortize these intangibles awaiting a decision by FASB as to the final
accounting treatment of these assets. As it is unknown how this accounting issue
will ultimately be resolved, the Company cannot predict what impact, if any,
there will be on future earnings.




Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the Three Months
Ended March 31, 2002
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2002 was $2,104, which
represents an increase of $488 or 30.2% when compared to the same period in
2001. The annualized return on average assets for the three months ended March
31, 2002 was 1.34% and 1.08% for March 31, 2001. The annualized return on
average equity was 12.77% for the period ended March 31, 2002 and 10.69% for
March 31, 2001.

Earnings per share for the period ended March 31, 2002 was $0.60 and
$0.46 in 2001 for the same period.



Net Interest Income

Net interest income at the end of the first quarter of 2002 was $6,328,
an increase of $945 or 17.6%. Interest income decreased $787 or 6.9%, when the
period ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 are compared. The yield on earning assets
was 7.52%, decreasing 81 basis points from March 31, 2001. Interest expense
decreased $1,732, or 28.9%, when the two periods are compared. The cost to fund
earning assets for the period ended March 31, 2002 was 2.87% or a 139 basis
point decrease from the same period in 2001. This resulted in a increase in the
net interest margin. As seen by this data, substantially lower funding costs due
to the low rate environment accounted for most of the improvement.


15
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 1.12% at March 31, 2002. This compares to 1.08% at March 31, 2001.
The provision for the first three months of 2002 was $646, up $314 over the same
period the prior year.
While management continues to believe that over all credit quality
remains good, net charge-offs are expected to be at slightly higher levels in
2002. Loan growth, which was $11,934 or 3.0% in the first quarter of 2002, also
contributed to the need to enhance the allowance for loan losses. The ratio of
the allowance for loan losses to loans at December 31, 2001 was 1.07%. The
combined effect of loan growth and additional provisions in 2002 resulted in a
nominal 5 basis point increase in this ratio which was 1.12% at March 31,2002.

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, 2002 was $1,369, an increase of $174 or
14.6%.

Service charges on deposit accounts increased $25 or 4.9% increase when
compared to the same period in 2001.

The increase in service charges was due in part to an increased level of
business activity. In addition, the acquisition of a branch in the latter part
of March of 2001, while having little effect in that year had a greater impact
in 2002.

Other service charges and fees decreased $17 when March 31, 2002 and
March 31, 2001 are compared. The majority of this decrease was due to a decline
in credit life insurance commissions.

Credit card fees increased $44 and 16.9%. This increase was primarily
due to volume.

Trust income decreased by 14.0% when compared to the first three months
of 2001. 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 $(20) for the first quarter of 2002.

Other income for the first quarter contained some nonrecurring or
infrequent items as well as two newer forms of revenues, which accounted for a
$155 increase over 2001. Contributing to this increase were proceeds from a life
insurance policy, which was approximately $36 and a recovery of legal fees of
$14 incurred in a prior year. In addition, there was a nonrecurring adjustment
to fees for approximately $48. Other income also included commissions from the
sale of securities and insurance products in the amount of $82. There were no
similiar commissions in the first quarter of 2001 as the Company's financial
services affiliate was not formed until the second quarter of 2001.


16
Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the period ended March 31, 2002 was $4,389, an
increase of $328 or 8.1%. The majority of the increase, as described below, was
associated with acquisition activity referred to previously.

Salaries and employee benefits increased by $308 or 16.1% when the
periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 are compared. This increase was due in
part to the acquisition of a branch in late March 2001. Due to the timing of the
purchase the full impact of the additional expense was not experienced in 2001.
Also, included in the 2002 expense is the full effect of salaries and employee
benefits associated with the Company's financial services affiliate. Routine
merit salary and promotional salary increases also contributed to the increase
in this category.

Occupancy expenses decreased $19 when the first quarter of 2002 and 2001
are compared. While occupancy expenses were pushed upward by the acquisition of
a new branch, previously mentioned, efforts to restrain expenditures in this
category produced a slight decrease, when the first quarter of 2001 and 2002 are
compared.

Data processing costs decreased $77 or 21.3%. This decline was primarily
due to a reduction achieved in maintenance costs and the absence of conversion
costs associated with the branch acquisition that has been discussed.

Credit card processing increased $20 or 8.4% due to volume.

Intangibles expense for the first quarter of 2002 was $238 compared to
$197 during the same period last year. This increase was related to a branch
acquisition that occurred in the latter part of March 2001. Since the
transaction occurred late in the first quarter of 2001 intangibles expense was
prorated.


Other operating costs decreased $21 or 2.3% when the periods March 31,
2002 and 2001 are compared. Expenses for 2001 included certain start-up costs
associated with the acquisition of a new branch. A loss of $41 related to check
forgeries is included in the first quarter of 2002 expenses.

Balance Sheet

Total assets at March 31, 2002 were $641,297, a decrease of $3,326 or
0.52% from period end assets at December 31, 2001. This decline was primarily
due to a decrease in higher cost time deposits.


Securities

Securities available for sale declined by 3.7%, while securities held to
maturity decreased $4,323 or 4.2%. (Refer to the table previously presented for
portfolio composition.) Funds derived from these decreases were used primarily
to fund loan growth.




Loans

Loans net of unearned income grew by $11,934 or 3.0% from December 31,
2001. Since December 31, 2001, construction loans increased by $2,174 or 11.1%
with real estate mortgage loans increasing $1,151 or 1.5%. The largest increase,


17
however was experienced in the commercial loan category which grew by $14,237 or
7.5% due to demand. The only category to show a decrease was in loans to
individuals which declined by $5,744 or 5.1%. It is not known to what extent
loans to individuals will ultimately decline or when growth in this area will
resume given the general economic conditions.



Deposits

Total deposits decreased $6,071 or 1.1% when March 31, 2002 and December
31, 2001 are compared.

Noninterest-bearing demand deposits increased $3,473 or 4.8% when March
31,2002 and December 31, 2001 are compared. During the same period
interest-bearing demand deposits declined by 0.83%, while savings deposits were
up 2.4%. The largest decrease in deposits took place in time deposits, which
declined by $9,573 or 3.0%, as management has allowed higher cost time deposits
to run-off.




Daily Averages

Daily averages for the major categories are as follows:

(000's) March 31, 2002 December 31,2001
------------------- ---------------------
Loans, net $402,754 380,970
Securities available for sale 86,575 109,682
Securities held to maturity 100,951 79,127
Total assets 638,157 635,692
Total deposits 568,355 569,139
Stockholders' equity 66,838 63,460


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 $4,011. The primary sources were net
income and net sales of real estate loans held for sale.

Cash from investing activities was $18. As can be seen from the cash
flow statement the principal use of cash was for lending activities, which were
funded in the most part by maturities or calls of investments.

Financing activities during the period was a user of cash, mainly due to
a decline in in the area of time deposits previously noted.

Management is not aware of any commitments that will result in, or are
likely to result in a material and adverse decrease in liquidity.


18
Capital Resources

Total stockholders' equity increased by $2,142 from December 31, 2001 to
March 31, 2002. Of that increase, $38 was due to the change in unrealized gains
and losses on securities available for sale. Net income of $2,104 accounted for
the remainder of the increase. The Company's risk based capital ratios at March
31, 200 are as follows.


Total capital 13.2%
Tier I 12.2%
Leverage ratio 8.8%

The Company's banking affiliates continue to meet the regulatory criteria
for well capitalized.

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, 2002 approximated $4,520.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

The Company considers interest rate risk to be a significant market risk
and systems in place to measure the exposure of net interest income to adverse
movement in interest rates. Interest rate shock analyses provides management
with an indication of potential economic loss due to future rate changes. There
have not been any changes, which would significantly alter the results disclosed
as of December 31, 2001.
