(1) To Risk Weighted Assets
(2) To Average Assets


Substantially all of Bankshares' retained earnings are undistributed
earnings of its banking subsidiaries, which are restricted by various
regulations administered by federal and state bank regulatory agencies. Bank
regulatory agencies restrict, without prior approval, the total dividend
payments of a bank in any calendar year to the bank's retained net income of
that year to date, as defined, combined with its retained net income of the
preceding two years, less any required transfers to surplus. At September 30,
2001, retained net income from the Company's NBB affiliate which was free of
such restriction amounted to approximately $3,539.

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, as dividends have been
paid to NBI in the past.

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

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. Earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 may not be
indicative of annualized earnings for 2001. 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 Nine
Months Ended September 30, 2001
Net income for the nine months ended September 30 2001 was $5,207, which
represents a decline of $265 or 4.8% when compared to the same period in 2000.
The annualized return on average assets for the nine months ended September 30,
2001 was 1.10% and 1.51% for September 30, 2000. The annualized return on
average equity was 11.13% for the period ended September 30, 2001 and 13.33% for
September 30, 2000.

Earnings per share for the period ended September 30, 2001 was $1.48 and
$1.56 in 2000 for the same period.



Net Interest Income

Net interest income at the end of the third quarter of 2001 was $16,631,
an increase of $1,625 or 10.8%. Interest income increased $6,793, or 24.5%, when
the period ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 are compared. Interest expense
increased $5,168, or 40.7%, when the two periods are compared. The yield on
earning assets was 8.02%, decreasing 33 basis points from September 30, 2000.
The cost to fund earning assets for the period ended September 30, 2001 was
4.00% or a 30 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 September 30, 2000 to September 30, 2001 the
Company acquired seven branches divested from other banks. 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. (For additional comments see the quarterly
discussion.)

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.

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

17
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 1.05% at September 30, 2001 which, compares to 1.18% at September 30,
2000. The provision for the first nine months of 2001 was $1,041 up $44 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 September 30, 2001 was $3,803,
an increase of $940 or 32.8%. All categories except realized gains/losses on
securities experienced increases when the period ended September 30, 2001 and
September 30, 2000 are compared.

Service charges on deposit accounts increased $455, accounting for 48.4%
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 single branch acquisition in March 2001.

Credit card fees increased $157 and 20.7%. This increase was in
part due to debit card income, which improved due to acquisition activity and
the introduction of the debit card service at BTC.

Trust income increased by 38.9% when compared to the first nine 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. So far, in 2001,
there has been a higher level of estate activity.

Realized securities gains/losses were $(26) for the quarter ended
September 30, 2001. Included is the write-down of the Company's portion of two
limited liability companies established for the sale of title insurance and
insurance services.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the period ended September 30, 2001 was $12,522,
an increase of $3,146 or 33.6%. The majority of the increase as described below
was associated with acquisition activity.

Salaries and employee benefits increased by $1,344 or 28.8% when the
periods ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 are compared. This increase was
largely due to the acquisition of six branches in mid-November 2000 and a
seventh branch acquired in March of 2001. Routine merit increases also
contributed to the increase.

18
Occupancy expenses increased $342 when the third quarter of 2001 and
2000 are compared. The 36.5% increase was largely attributable to the branch
acquisitions referred to above, which increased, depreciation expense, real
estate taxes, insurance and other fixed asset costs.

Data processing costs increased $309 or 43.8%. Maintenance costs,
particularly on ATM's, increased as a result of the branch acquisitions.

Credit card processing expense decreased $48 or 6.0%. This decline was
due to a combination of a $156 nonrecurring loss experienced in 2000 and
increased volume in 2001.

Intangibles and goodwill amortization increased $560 or 491.0% as a
result of the previously mentioned acquisition activity.

Other operating costs increased $647 or 32.0% when the periods September
30, 2001 and 2000 are compared. The majority of these increases were caused by
acquisition activities, which increased expenses such as stationery and
supplies, telephone and courier services.

Balance Sheet

Total assets at September 30, 2001 were $644,210, an increase of $50,713
or 8.5% over period end assets at December 31, 2000.

Deposits purchased in a branch acquisition accounted for approximately
$34,000 of the increase of $44,836, the remainder was due to aggressive deposit
marketing activities.

Securities

While securities available for sale declined by 17.4%, securities held
to maturity increased $53,651 or 164.8%. This represents an investment of funds
generated by the acquisition activity previously mentioned. A greater emphasis
was placed on the held to maturity portfolio to moderate the fluctuations in
unrealized gains and losses that generally accompany securities classified as
available for sale

Loans

Loans net of unearned income grew by $34,929 or 9.7%. Loans purchased in
a branch acquisition accounted for the majority of the increase.

Fixed Assets

The Company's investment in fixed assets decreased $51 when September
30, 2001 and December 31, 2000 are compared. The net decrease included the
addition of fixed assets associated with a first quarter branch acquisition less
depreciation expense.

19
Deposits

Total deposits increased $44,836 or 8.4% when September 30, 2001 and
December 21, 2000 are compared. Branch acquisition accounted for the majority of
this increase.

Noninterest bearing deposits grew by 16.7% with interest bearing demand
deposits growing by 18.8%. Saving deposits increased by 15.0% and time deposits
grew by 2.9%.

Daily Averages

Daily averages for the major categories are as follows:

(000's) September 30, 2001 September 30,
2000
=================== ==================
Federal funds sold $16,793 3,422
FHLB deposits 13,394 7,953
Loans, net 375,538 301,836
Securities available for sale 114,789 118,378
Securities held to maturity 75,742 22,197
Total assets 633,032 482,966
Noninterest-bearing deposits 65,534 55,178
Interest-bearing deposits 501,982 360,862
Stockholders' equity 62,546 54,679


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 $6,781 primarily due to earnings. Cash used in
investing activities totaled $44,795. Primary uses were purchases of securities
held to maturity, loans purchased and interest-bearing deposits.

Capital Resources

Total stockholders' equity increased by $5,816 from December 31, 2000 to
September 30, 2001. Of that increase $2,128 was due to the change in unrealized
gains and losses on securities available for sale. Net income of $5,207, offset
by a dividend to shareholders of $1,511 accounted for the remainder of the
increase. During the first nine months of 2001, 500 shares of the Company's
common stock were repurchased at $16.25 per share.

Financial Services

On April 9, 2001 National Bankshares Financial Services Inc., a
wholly-owned subsidiary began offering non-deposit investment products and
insurance products for sale to the public. NBFS is working with Bankers
Insurance, LLC, a joint effort of Virginia banks originally sponsored by the
Virginia Bankers Association. In another cooperative effort, NBFS is working
with UVEST Financial Services Group, Inc. to offer investment services.

It is anticipated that these ventures will ultimately result in new and
substantial sources of noninterest income. Given the highly competitive
commercial banking market, management believes that diversity in revenue sources
will be critical to the ongoing success of the Company.

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

20
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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued two
statements - Statement 141, Business Combinations, and Statement 142, Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets, which will potentially impact the accounting for
goodwill and other intangible assets. Statement 141 eliminates the pooling
method of accounting for business combinations and requires that intangible
assets that meet certain criteria be reported separately from goodwill. The
Statement also requires negative goodwill arising from a business combination to
be recorded as an extraordinary gain. Statement 142 eliminates 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.

Upon adoption of these Statements, an organization is required to
re-evaluate goodwill and other intangible assets that arose from business
combinations entered into before July 1, 2001. If the recorded other intangibles
assets do not meet the criteria for recognition, they should be classified as
goodwill. Similarly, if there are other intangible assets that meet the criteria
for recognition but were not separately recorded from goodwill, they should be
reclassified as goodwill. An organization also must reassess the useful lives of
intangible assets and adjust the remaining amortization periods accordingly. Any
negative goodwill must be written-off.

The Company has not yet completed its full assessment of the effects of
these new pronouncements on its financial statements and so is uncertain as to
the impact. The standards generally are required to be implemented by the
Company in its 2002 financial statements.


21
Analysis of the Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the Three
Months Ended September 30, 2001

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2001 was $1,910, an
increase of $159 or 9.1% over the same period in 2000. The annualized return on
average assets or the third quarter of 2001 was 1.18% as compared to the third
quarter of 2000. The annualized return on average equity for the third quarter
of 2001 was 11.84%. This compares to 12.42% for the same period in 2000.
Basic earnings per share for the three months ended September 30,2001
was $0.54, an increase of $0.04 over the third quarter of 2000.

Net interest income

Net interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 was $5,751
or a 14.2% increase over the same quarter in 2000. During the first half of 2001
and continuing into the third quarter interest rates declined sharply. In the
third quarter of 2001 total interest expense was $5,695 down $490 or 7.9% from
the second quarter of 2001. At the same time total interest income declined by
$236 or 2.0%. The net effect was to increase net interest income for the quarter
by $254. Management expects that net interest income will show more improvement,
provided that recent trends continue.


Provision for loan losses

The provision for loan losses for the third quarter of 2001 was $377.
This compares to $331 for the same period the prior year. During the third
quarter of 2001 the Company made a provision to the allowance for loan losses in
the amount of $377, up $45 from the second quarter. This increase was due
primarily to loan growth and the need to maintain an adequate allowance.


Noninterest income

Noninterest income for the third quarter of 2001 was $1,312,an increase
of $336 over the period ending September 30, 2000. This increase was due in part
to acquisition activity, expansion of debit card services and general increase
in volume.


Noninterest expense

Noninterest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 was $4,176.
This represents an increase of $885 or 26.9% when compared to the quarter ended
September 30, 2000. Salaries and employee benefits were up $492, primarily due
to acquisition activity, as was occupancy expense, which increased $120. Credit
card expense was down $114. As previously discussed, the Company experienced a
one time loss in the third quarter of 2000 which inflated expense for that
period. Intangibles amortization expense was up $201, and the increase was
directly attributable to acquisition activity. Other expense was up $128 over
the third quarter of 2000. Acquisition activity was the primary cause of the
increase.

22
Balance Sheet

Total assets at September 30, 2001 were $644,210, which represents an
increase of $145,313 or 29.1% over total assets at September 30, 2000. A
comparison of selected quarterly average balance sheet categories follow.

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 September 30,2001 approximated $4,222.

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
affects 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 September 30,
2001 the cumulative interest-sensitivity gap declined to ($213,482). This change
was the result primarily of a Branch acquisition that closed in March 2001 and
changes in the investment portfolio. The Company, however, remains liability
sensitive to a large degree, which may prove to be advantageous in the current
falling rate environment, but could have a negative impact should interest rates
rise.
