ITEM 1 - Business
American National Bankshares Inc. ("the Corporation") is a one-bank holding
company, which was organized under the laws of the State of Virginia in 1984. On
September 1, 1984, the Corporation acquired all of the outstanding capital stock
of American National Bank and Trust Company ("the Bank"), a National Banking
Association chartered in 1909 under the laws of the United States. The Bank is
the only subsidiary of the Corporation. At December 31, 1999 the Corporation
employed 184 persons (FTE).
American National Bank and Trust Company
The Bank has been operating as a commercial bank in Danville, Virginia
since its organization in 1909. On March 14, 1996, the Corporation completed the
acquisition of Mutual Savings Bank, F.S.B. ("Mutual") and Mutual was merged with
and into American National Bank and Trust Company. The Bank has two wholly owned
subsidiaries to make and sale mortgage loans and to offer non-deposit products
such as mutual funds and insurance.
The operations of the Bank are conducted at twelve offices located
throughout the Bank's trade area, which includes the City of Danville, City of
Martinsville, Pittsylvania and Henry Counties in Virginia, Town of Yanceyville
and the northern half of Caswell County in North Carolina. Seven of these
offices are located in Danville, one office each in Gretna, Chatham,
Martinsville, and Collinsville, Virginia and Yanceyville, North Carolina. The
Bank also has eleven automated teller machines at various locations in the trade
area. The Bank offers all services normally offered by a full-service commercial
bank, including commercial and individual demand and time deposit accounts,
commercial and individual loans and trust services.
Competition
The Bank's primary service area is generally defined as the City of
Danville, City of Martinsville, Pittsylvania and Henry Counties in Virginia,
Town of Yanceyville and the northern half of Caswell County in North Carolina.
Vigorous competition exists in this service area. The Bank competes not only
with other commercial banks but also with diversified financial institutions,
money market and mutual funds, and mortgage and finance companies. As of March
21, 2000, there were approximately 17 banks operating in this service area.
American National Bank and Trust Company has the largest market share in
Danville and Pittsylvania County. No new banks or savings and loan associations
have been chartered in the Danville area in the past five years. Several branch
offices of existing banks have been opened in this trade area in the past two
years.
Supervision and Regulation
The Corporation is a bank holding company within the meaning of the Bank
Holding Company Act of 1956 ("the Act") and is registered as such with the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("the Federal Reserve Board"). As a
bank holding company, the Corporation is required to file with the Federal
Reserve Board an annual report and such other information as may be required.
The Federal Reserve Board may also make examinations of the Corporation.
The operations of the Bank are subject to federal statutes and to
regulations of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Reserve Board and
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, which insures the Bank's deposits.
The primary supervisory authority over the Bank is the Comptroller of the
Currency, which regularly examines such areas as reserves, loans, investments,
management practices and other aspects of the Bank's operations. These
examinations are designed primarily for the protection of the Bank's depositors.
In addition to these regular examinations, the Bank must furnish the Comptroller
periodic reports containing a full and accurate statement of its affairs.
As a national bank, the Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve System and
is affected by general fiscal and monetary policies of the Federal Reserve
Board. The techniques used by the Federal Reserve Board include setting the
reserve requirements of member banks and establishing the discount rate on
member bank borrowings.
Government Monetary Policies and Economic Controls
The policies of the Federal Reserve Board have a direct effect on the
amount of bank loans and deposits and the interest rates charged and paid
thereon. While current economic conditions, the policies of the Federal Reserve
Board (and other regulatory authorities) designed to deal with these conditions
and the impact of such conditions and policies upon the future business and
earnings of the Bank cannot accurately be predicted, they can materially affect
the revenues and income of commercial banks.
Foreign Operations
The Corporation does not engage in any foreign operations.
Executive Officers
This information is incorporated by reference to the Registrant's Proxy
Statement for the 2000 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
II-5
ITEM 2 - Properties
The principal executive offices of the Corporation as well as the principal
executive offices of the Bank are located at 628 Main Street, Danville,
Virginia. As of March 21, 2000 the Bank maintained twelve full service offices.
Seven are located within the City of Danville, with others located at Gretna,
Chatham, Martinsville, and Collinsville, Virginia and Yanceyville, North
Carolina. The Bank owns and operates thirteen Automated Teller Machines
("ATMs"). The Bank owns a parking lot for its employees fronting on Ridge Street
in close proximity to the main office. The Bank also owns approximately 2.5
acres of land on Piedmont Drive in Danville, opposite of Piedmont Mall for
future expansion of its retail banking operations. There are no mortgages or
liens against any property of the Bank or the Corporation.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION and
ANALYSIS of FINANCIAL CONDITION
and RESULTS of OPERATIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
American National Bankshares Inc. ("the Corporation") was organized in 1984
for the purpose of acquiring all of the outstanding shares of American National
Bank and Trust Company ("the Bank"). The Bank was chartered and opened for
business in February 1909. Under an agreement and plan of merger, the Bank was
acquired by the Corporation on September 1, 1984.
The Corporation has expanded through internal growth and through mergers
and acquisitions. On March 14, 1996, the Corporation completed the merger of
Mutual Savings Bank, F.S.B. ("Mutual") with $84,718,00 in assets into the Bank.
The Mutual merger was accounted for as a pooling of interests. The Bank
completed two branch purchases in 1995 and 1996 which added $57,700,000 in
deposits and $6,925,000 in loans. The two branch purchases were accounted for as
purchases and goodwill of $4,504,000 is being amortized over ten years. The
Corporation opened new branch offices in Chatham and Martinsville, Virginia and
closed a limited service branch in Danville during 1999.
In March 1996 the shareholders of the Corporation approved an amendment to
the articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of the
Corporation's common stock from 3,000,000 shares to 10,000,000 shares.
Forward-looking Statements
This report contains forward-looking statements with respect to the
financial condition and results of operations and business of the Corporation
and Bank. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and
are based on the beliefs and assumptions of management of the Corporation and
Bank and on information available at the time these statements and disclosures
were prepared. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from
those expected include the following:
o General economic conditions may deteriorate and negatively impact the ability
of borrowers to repay loans and depositors to maintain balances.
o Changes in interest rates could reduce net interest income.
o Competitive pressures among financial institutions may increase.
o Legislative or regulatory changes, including changes in accounting
standards, may adversely affect the businesses that the Corporation and Bank
are engaged in.
o New products developed or new methods of delivering products could result in a
reduction in business and income for the Corporation and Bank.
o Adverse changes may occur in the securities market.
Stock Split
The Corporation issued a 2-for-1 stock split effected in the form of a 100%
stock dividend to shareholders of record July 1, 1999, payable on July 15, 1999.
All references to the number of common shares and all per share amounts have
been adjusted, as appropriate, to retroactively reflect the stock split.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period information has been restated to conform with 1999
presentation.
Performance Summary
The Corporation and Bank reported record profitability during 1999. Net
income of $7,924,000 for 1999 increased by $726,000 or 10.1% over net income of
$7,198,000 for 1998.
The economy of the Bank's trade area continues to be healthy as evidenced
by another year of loan growth. During 1999, net loans increased $23,908,000, or
9.0% while total deposits increased $27,233,000, or 7.6%. Total deposits and
repurchase agreements with customers increased $21,165,000, or 5.4%, during
1999.
II-8
Earnings and Capital
Net income per diluted share was $1.30 in 1999, $1.18 in 1998, and $1.00 in
1997. Shareholders' equity increased $1,858,000 in 1999 from the retention of
1999 earnings which was partially offset by an increase in net unrealized losses
on securities available for sale. Shareholders' equity increased $4,858,000 in
1998 from retention of 1998 earnings and from an increase in net unrealized
gains on securities available for sale. This followed a decrease in
shareholders' equity during 1997 by $2,215,000 due to the repurchase of common
stock for $6,278,000. The reduction from stock repurchase was offset by
retention of 1997 earnings and an increase in net unrealized gains on securities
available for sale. Shareholders' equity was 11.5% of assets at December 31,
1999 and 11.9% at December 31, 1998. Shareholders' equity was $56,719,000 at
December 31, 1999 and $54,861,000 at December 31, 1998. The total market value
of American National Bankshares Inc. common stock at $18.50 per share (the last
trade recorded on the NASDAQ National Market during 1999) was $112,918,000. The
market value of the Corporation's common stock was 199 percent of its book
value. Book value per common share was $9.29 at the close of 1999.
During 1999, the Corporation increased its allowance for loan losses to
$4,135,000 an increase of $314,000 or 8.2% from 1998. The allowance, as a
percentage of loans, was 1.41% at December 31, 1999 and 1.42% at December 31,
1998.
The return of net income on average total assets was 1.68% in 1999 compared
to 1.64% in 1998 and 1.47% in 1997. The return on average shareholders' equity
was 14.17% in 1999 compared to 13.79% in 1998 and 12.51% in 1997.
Trends and Future Events
The economic conditions of the Corporation's trade area remained stable
during 1999 as evidenced by another year of loan and deposit growth. The
Corporation's net loans grew at a rate of 9.0% during 1999 following a 5.8%
increase in 1998. Total deposits increased 7.6% during 1999 following a 1.9%
increase in 1998.
Net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis increased 5.1% to
$19,733,000 in 1999 after a 6.6% increase to $18,780,000 in 1998. The 1999
increase resulted from growth in average interest-earning assets of $30,354,000
and growth in average interest-earning liabilities of $23,834,000. The weighted
average yield on interest earning assets declined by .28% while the weighted
average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased by .20% because loan
yields fell by more than deposit yields in 1999. Although Management believes
the Corporation has positioned itself to continue to maintain this level of net
interest income into the near future, increased competition and slowing loan and
deposit growth could negatively impact net interest income.
During 1999, time deposits increased by $24,708,000, or 14.5%, and money
market accounts increased by $4,237,000, or 23.4%. Interest bearing demand
deposits declined $260,000, or .5%, while non-interest bearing demand deposits
increased $2,424,000 or 5.4%. Savings deposits decreased $3,876,000, or 5.6%.
Repurchase agreements which are short term investments for businesses and
individuals and are not included in deposits decreased $6,069,000, or 19.6%,
during 1999. Total deposits increased $27,233,000 or 7.6% during 1999 after
increasing $6,722,000 or 1.9% during 1998.
Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization by and between Mutual
and the Corporation, ANB Mortgage Corp. ("ANB Mortgage"), formerly Mutual
Mortgage of the Piedmont, Inc., was organized and began operations in 1996 as a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank. The primary purpose of ANB Mortgage is to
originate and sell mortgage loans. ANB Services Corp. ("ANB Services") was
formed as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank and began operations in late
1999 to offer non-deposit products such as mutual funds and insurance. The
financial condition and results of operations of ANB Mortgage and ANB Services
are included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of
Income of the Corporation.
The Corporation's stock began trading on the NASDAQ National Market on
April 23, 1999 after having been traded on the OTC Bulletin Board. The change to
NASDAQ was made to improve the marketability of the stock.
The Federal Reserve Board ("FRB") decreased short term interest rates in
late 1998 by cutting federal funds by .75% and the discount rate by .50%, and
the major banks followed by lowering the prime rate by .75%. The FRB reversed
the 1998 cuts in the later half of 1999 by increasing the aforementioned rates,
and major banks followed by raising the prime by .75%. The Federal Reserve
actions in lowering interest rates in 1998 were designed to stabilize financial
markets and to offset perceived deteriorating economic conditions caused by the
global financial crisis. The increases in interest rates in 1999 were designed
to moderate national economic growth which could be inflationary if left
unchecked.
The FDIC insures deposits of the Bank up to the limits allowed by law.
Financial institutions are assessed deposit insurance by the FDIC at an annual
rate of between 0 and .27% of insured deposits, depending on a risk
classification. Legislation was enacted in 1996 requiring FDIC insured
institutions to pay a portion of the interest on obligations issued by the
Financing Corporation ("FICO"). For the first quarter of 2000, the effective
annual FICO assessment rate was .0212% of insured deposits.
II-9
As mandated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Act of 1991
("FDICIA"), the following five capital categories are identified for insured
depository institutions: "well capitalized", "adequately capitalized",
"undercapitalized", "significantly undercapitalized" and "critically
undercapitalized". FDICIA requires the federal banking regulators to take prompt
corrective action with respect to insured depository institutions that do not
meet minimum capital requirements.
Federal banking regulations have established relevant capital requirements
for bank holding companies and subsidiary banks. Under the regulations, well
capitalized institutions must have Tier I risk-based capital ratios of at least
six percent, total risk-based capital ratios of at least ten percent and
leverage ratios of at least five percent and not be subject to capital directive
orders. Under these guidelines, the Corporation and the Bank have always been
and continue to be considered well capitalized.
Year 2000 Issue
The Corporation did not encounter computer or system problems from the
transition into the new millennium (Year 2000). The "Year 2000" problem was
widely publicized as the possible failure or malfunction of systems or computer
chips that improperly recognized date sensitive information when the year
changed to 2000. The Corporation is not aware of Year 2000 problems encountered
by major customers, suppliers or hardware and software vendors. No liquidity
problems or material withdrawals by depositors of the Bank were experienced
during the transition into the Year 2000.
Total Year 2000 project costs were approximately $125,000 as had previously
been estimated and disclosed. The expenditures did not have a material impact on
the Corporation's results of operations, liquidity or capital resources.
Although highly unlikely, certain Year 2000 problems could surface later
during 2000. The Corporation continues to monitor systems for possible future
disruptions and has a business resumption plan to deal with such problems.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income, the most significant component of earnings, is the
excess of interest income over interest expense. For analytical purposes, net
interest income is adjusted to a taxable equivalent basis to recognize the
income tax savings on tax-exempt assets, such as state and municipal securities.
A tax rate of 34% was used in adjusting interest on tax-exempt securities and
loans to a fully taxable equivalent basis for the years 1999, 1998 and 1997.
During 1999, taxable equivalent net interest income increased to
$19,733,000, up 5.1% from $18,780,000 in 1998. Taxable equivalent net interest
income for 1998 was up 6.6% from $17,622,000 recorded in 1997. The $953,000
increase in taxable equivalent net interest income during 1999 consisted of
$1,247,000 due to increases in volume, reduced by $294,000 attributable to rate.
The $1,158,000 increase in taxable equivalent net interest income during 1998
was the net result of an increase of $786,000 due to volume and $372,000
attributable to rate.

The following is an analysis of net interest income, on a taxable equivalent basis. Nonaccrual loans are included
in average balances. Interest income on nonaccrual loans if recognized is recorded on a cash basis.

Changes in Net Interest Income (Rate/Volume Analysis)
Net interest income is the product of the volume of average earning assets
and the average rates earned, less the volume of average interest-bearing
liabilities and the average rates paid. The portion of change relating to both
rate and volume is allocated to each of the rate and volume changes based on the
relative change in each category. The following table analyzes the changes in
both rate and volume components of net interest income on a taxable equivalent
basis for the past two years (in thousands):

Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses is an amount added to the allowance against
which loan losses are charged. The amount of the provision is determined by
Management based upon its assessment of the size and quality of the loan
portfolio and the adequacy of the allowance in relation to the risks inherent
within the loan portfolio. The 1999 provision for loan losses was $670,000 and
compares with $927,000 in 1998 and $1,100,000 in 1997.
The decrease in the provision for loan losses in 1999 was influenced by
reduced net charge-offs and from growth in loans that require fewer loan loss
allowances. Net charge-offs decreased to $356,000 in 1999 from $383,000 in 1998
and $893,000 in 1997. Two commercial loans were written down $402,000 and
accounted for the high level of charge-offs in 1997. The allowance for loan
losses totaled $4,135,000 at December 31, 1999, an increase of 8.2% over
December 31, 1998. The ratio of the allowance to loans, less unearned income,
was 1.41% at December 31, 1999 and 1.42% at December 31, 1998.
The Bank's Loan Committee has responsibility for determining the level of
the allowance for loan losses, subject to the review of the Board of Directors.
The Loan Committee has taken economic factors, as well as any other external
events that may affect the value and collectability of the loan portfolio, into
consideration when making its assessment and recommendation.
The methodology used to determine the level of the allowance for loan
losses on a quarterly basis includes the identification of losses from a review
of the Corporation's loan "Watch" list. In addition to these identifiable
potential losses, an experience factor for each major category of loans is
applied against the remaining portion of the loans considered to have no more
than a normal risk of collectability. Additional factors considered in
determining the level of the allowance for loan losses are economic conditions,
historical losses, trends and other external factors. The sum of these elements
is the Loan Committee's recommended level of the allowance for loan losses.

Management's criteria for evaluating the adequacy of its allowance for loan
losses includes individual evaluation of significant loans and overall portfolio
analyses for more homogeneous, smaller balance loan portfolios. Based on
management's evaluation, estimated loan loss allowances are assigned to the
individual loans which present a greater risk of loan loss. The remaining loan
loss allowance is allocated to the remaining loans on an overall portfolio basis
based on historical loss experience. The assessed risk of loan loss is higher in
the commercial and consumer loan categories as these categories contain loans
which are more significant to the Corporation and to the individual borrowers,
thereby exposing the Corporation to a greater risk of loss in the event of
downturns in the financial position of individual borrowers. The remaining loan
categories are typically for lesser amounts and are distributed over a much
larger population of borrowers, thereby reducing the Corporation's risk of loan
loss.

The economy of the Corporation's trade area, which includes the City of
Danville, City of Martinsville, Pittsylvania and Henry Counties in Virginia,
Town of Yanceyville and the northern half of Caswell County in North Carolina,
is heavily dependent on manufacturing. While diversification has occurred in
manufacturing in recent years, an apparel/home fashions textile firm and a tire
manufacturing plant in Danville employ a significant workforce. Increased global
competition has negatively impacted the textile industry in the area with
several plants closing due to competitive pressures or due to relocation of some
operations to foreign countries. Other important industries include farming,
tobacco processing and sales, food processing, furniture manufacturing and
sales, specialty glass manufacturing, and packaging tape production. A leading
internet retailer of children's products is opening their east coast
distribution center in Pittsylvania County in early 2000.
The local economy of the Corporation's trade area continues to remain
stable at this time and the Corporation's loan losses have not been significant
in recent years; however, an inherent risk to the loan portfolio exists if a
significant decline occurs in manufacturing along with a corresponding reduction
in employment. Management believes the allowance for loan losses is appropriate
in view of this geographic concentration.
Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income totaled $4,495,000 in 1999 compared with $4,080,000 in
1998 and $3,225,000 in 1997. This was an increase of 10.2% during 1999 after an
increase of 26.5% during 1998. The major components of non-interest income are
trust and investment services, service charges on deposit accounts, non-deposit
fees and insurance commissions, mortgage banking income and other income.
Trust and investment services which includes fees from management of
trusts, estates and investments totaled $2,531,000 in 1999, an increase of
$366,000, or 16.9%, from 1998. Trust and investment services fees in 1998
increased 14.7% from 1997 .The increases in 1999 and 1998 came from growth in
investments under management for customers due to a healthy equities market and
from new business.
Service charges on deposit accounts were $970,000 in 1999, an increase of
$68,000, or 7.5%, from 1998. Service charges during 1998 totaled $902,000, which
was a 14.8% increase from 1997. A change in the fee structure and additional
accounts obtained contributed to the growth in income in 1999 and 1998. Service
charge pricing on deposit accounts is typically changed annually to reflect
current costs and competition.
Non-deposit fees and insurance commissions were $287,000 in 1999, $288,000
in 1988, and $156,000 in 1997. The large increase in 1998 resulted from
non-customer ATM fees that began in September 1997 and totaled $133,000 in 1999
and $131,000 in 1998.
Mortgage banking income represents fees from originating and selling
residential mortgage loans through a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank which
began in December 1996. Mortgage banking income declined 22.6% to $332,000 in
1999 from $429,000 in 1998 because rising interest rates reduced refinancing
mortgage lending. Mortgage banking income in 1998 increased 95.0% from $220,000
in 1997 because of a favorable interest rate environment.
Other income was $373,000 in 1999, an increase of 26.0% from the $296,000
recorded in 1998, which in turn was an increase of 70.1% from the $174,000
recorded in 1997. Other income in 1999 included $94,000 in gains from the sale
of real estate owned and included increases in debit and credit card fees, safe
deposit box rents, and check order income. Other income in 1998 included a gain
of $104,000 from the life insurance settlement on the life of a former officer.
Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expense of $11,543,000 in 1999, increased $529,000 or 4.8%
over $11,014,000 in 1998, which in turn increased $745,000 or 7.3% over
$10,269,000 in 1997. Non-interest expense includes salaries, pension and other
employee benefits, occupancy and equipment expense, core deposit intangible
amortization and other expenses.
Salaries of $5,575,000 in 1999 increased $448,000, or 8.7% over 1998 due to
additional compensation for new branch offices in Chatham and Martinsville and
due to increased incentive compensation. Salaries of $5,127,000 in 1998
increased $316,000, or 6.6% over 1997 due to additional incentive compensation
and merit increases.
Pension and other employee benefits totaled $955,000 in 1999, a decrease of
16.2% from the $1,140,000 recorded in 1998, which in turn was an increase of
5.9% from the $1,076,000 reported in 1997. The decline in 1999 resulted from a
decrease in supplemental retirement expense.
Occupancy and equipment expense of $1,896,000 for 1999 increased $232,000,
or 13.9% over 1998 due to additional depreciation and utilities related two new
branch offices opened in 1999. Occupancy and equipment expense increased 15.8%
to $1,664,000 in 1998 from 1997 because of higher depreciation, maintenance and
licensing fees on new technology equipment designed to improve product delivery
and increase productivity.
Core deposit intangible expense represents amortization of premiums paid
for deposits at the Yanceyville and Gretna offices which is calculated on a
straight line basis over ten years.
Other expense was $2,667,000 in 1999, an increase of 1.3% over the
$2,633,000 reported in 1998 which was an increase of 5.5% from $2,495,000
recorded in 1997. The 1998 increase primarily resulted from special sales and
service
II-14
training provided to all employees and from increased trust and mortgage banking
expenses related to generating higher non-interest income.
The efficiency ratio, a productivity measure used to determine how well
non-interest expense is managed, improved slightly to 47.64% in 1999 from 48.18%
in 1998. A lower efficiency ratio indicates better expense efficiency. Leaders
in expense efficiency in the banking industry have achieved ratios in the
mid-to-high 40% range while the majority of the industry remains in the 55-65%
range.
Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes (total of current and deferred) was
$3,320,000 in 1999, compared with $3,123,000 in 1998 and $2,725,000 in 1997. In
each year, the Corporation was subject to a Federal tax rate of 34%. The major
difference between the statutory rate and the effective rate results from income
which is not taxable for Federal income tax purposes. The primary non-taxable
income is that of state and municipal securities and industrial revenue bonds or
loans. Refer to Note 9 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for a
reconciliation of the statutory Federal income tax rate of 34% to the effective
tax rates for 1999, 1998, and 1997.
Capital Management
Regulatory agencies issued risk-based capital guidelines which were fully
effective in 1992. The guidelines were established to more appropriately
consider the credit risk inherent in the assets and off-balance sheet activities
of a financial institution in the assessment of capital adequacy.
Under the guidelines, total capital has been defined as core (Tier I)
capital and supplementary (Tier II) capital. The Corporation's Tier I capital
consists primarily of shareholder's equity, while Tier II capital consists of
the allowance for loan losses. The definition of assets has been modified to
include items on and off the balance sheet, with each item being assigned a
"risk-weight" for the determination of the ratio of capital to risk-adjusted
assets.
The guidelines require that total capital (Tier I and Tier II) of 8% be
held against total risk-adjusted assets, at least half of which (4%) must be
Tier I capital. At December 31, 1999, the Corporation's Tier I and total capital
ratios were 16.57% and 17.79%, respectively. At December 31, 1998, these ratios
were 16.79% and 18.04%, respectively. The ratios for both years were well in
excess of the regulatory requirements.
The Corporation's leverage ratios (Tier 1 capital divided by average
quarterly assets less intangible assets) were 11.52% and 11.07% at December 31,
1999 and 1998, respectively. The leverage ratio has a regulatory minimum of 3%,
with most institutions required to maintain a ratio 100 to 200 basis points
above the 3% minimum depending upon risk profiles and other factors.
The Corporation's 1999 capital formation rate (net income less dividends
declared, divided by average shareholders' equity) was 8.4%. This compares with
8.4% in 1998 and 7.5% in 1997. These ratios evidence the Corporation's
attainment of its goal of meeting future capital requirements by retaining a
portion of operating earnings while providing steadily increasing cash
dividends.
Prior to 1996 the Corporation paid cash dividends on a semi-annual basis.
In 1996 the Corporation began paying dividends on a quarterly basis and the
Board of Directors declared regular quarterly dividends totaling $.525 and $.465
per share of common stock in 1999 and 1998, respectively.
The Board of Directors reviews the Corporation's dividend policy regularly
and increases dividends when justified by earnings after considering future
capital needs.
Asset and Liability Management
The Corporation's primary objectives for asset and liability management are
to identify opportunities to maximize net interest income while ensuring
adequate liquidity and carefully managing interest rate risk. The
Asset/Liability Investment Committee ("ALCO"), which is primarily composed of
executive officers, is responsible for:
o Monitoring corporate financial performance;
o Meeting liquidity requirements;
o Establishing interest rate parameters, indices, and terms for loan and deposit
products;
o Assessing and evaluating the competitive rate environment;
o Reviewing and approving investment portfolio transactions under established
policy guidelines;
o Monitoring and measuring interest rate risk.
Liquidity
Liquidity is the measure of the Corporation's ability to generate
sufficient funds to meet customer demands for loans and the withdrawal of
deposit balances. The Corporation, in its normal course of business, maintains
cash reserves and has an adequate flow of funds from loan payments and maturing
investment securities to meet present liquidity needs.
II-15
Management monitors and plans the Corporation's liquidity position for
future periods. Liquidity is provided from cash and amounts due from banks,
federal funds sold, interest-bearing deposits in other banks, repayments from
loans, seasonal increases in deposits, lines of credit from two federal agency
banks and a correspondent bank and maturing investments. Management believes
that these factors provide sufficient and timely liquidity for the foreseeable
future.
Expansion of the Corporation's earning assets is based largely on the
growth of deposits from individuals and small and medium size businesses. These
deposits are more stable in number and size than large denomination certificates
of deposit. In addition, the Corporation's customers have relatively stable
requirements for funds.
The Corporation's major source of funds and liquidity is its deposit base.
The mix of the deposit base (time deposits versus demand, money market and
savings) is constantly subject to change. During 1999, as shown in the
Consolidated Balance Sheets, the deposit mix changed with an increase in higher
cost time deposits of $24,708,000, an increase in demand deposits of $2,164,000,
a decline in savings deposits of $3,876,000 and an increase in money market
accounts of $4,237,000. During 1998, time deposits remained stable while
deposits subject to immediate withdrawal increased.
The Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows appearing in the financial
statement section shows a net increase in cash and cash equivalents of
$2,513,000 during 1999. This increase was the result of a combination of
$9,088,000 provided by operating activities, $32,539,000 net cash used in
investing activities, and $25,964,000 net cash provided by financing activities.
A net increase in deposits and FHLB borrowings provided cash from financing
activities while cash dividends paid and a net decrease in repurchase agreements
used net cash in financing activities. The cash provided by operating and
financing activities, more than adequately supplied the Corporation's liquidity
needs at all times during 1999.
Liquidity strategies are implemented and monitored by ALCO on a day to day
basis. The Committee uses a simulation model to assess the future liquidity
needs of the Corporation and manage the investment of funds.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk refers to the exposure of the Corporation's earnings and
market value of portfolio equity ("MVE") to changes in interest rates. The
magnitude of the change in earnings and MVE resulting from interest rate changes
is impacted by the time remaining to maturity on fixed-rate obligations, the
contractual ability to adjust rates prior to maturity, competition, the general
level of interest rates and customer actions.
There are several common sources of interest rate risk that must be
effectively managed if there is to be minimal impact on the Corporation's
earnings and capital. Repricing risk arises largely from timing differences in
the pricing of assets and liabilities. Reinvestment risk refers to the
reinvestment of cash flows from interest payments and maturing assets at lower
or higher rates. Basis risk exists when different yield curves or pricing
indices do not change at precisely the same time or in the same magnitude such
that assets and liabilities with the same maturity are not all affected equally.
Yield curve risk refers to unequal movements in interest rates across a full
range of maturities.

II-16
In determining the appropriate level of interest rate risk, ALCO reviews
the changes in net interest income and MVE given various changes in interest
rates. The Corporation also considers the most likely interest rate scenarios,
local economics, liquidity needs, business strategies, and other factors in
determining the appropriate levels of interest rate risk. To effectively measure
and manage interest rate risk, interest rate sensitivity and simulation analysis
are used to determine the impact on net interest income and MVE from changes in
interest rates.
Interest rate sensitivity analysis presents the amount of assets and
liabilities that are estimated to reprice through specified periods if there are
not changes in balance sheet mix. The interest rate sensitivity table, on page
II -16, reflects the Corporation's assets and liabilities on December 31, 1999
that will either be repriced in accordance with market rates, mature or are
estimated to mature early or prepay within the periods indicated.
Because of inherent limitations in interest rate sensitivity analysis, ALCO
uses more sophisticated interest rate risk measurement techniques. Simulation
analysis is used to subject the current repricing conditions to rising and
falling interest rates in increments and decrements of 1%, 2% and 3% to
determine how net interest income changes for the next twelve months. ALCO also
measures the effects of changes in interest rates on the MVE by discounting
future cash flows of deposits and loans using new rates at which deposits and
loans would be made to similar depositors and borrowers. Market value changes on
the investment portfolio are estimated by discounting future cash flows and
using duration analysis. Loan and investment security prepayments are estimated
using current market information. The following table shows the estimated impact
of changes in interest rates up and down 1%, 2% and 3% on net interest income
and on MVE.

environment.
(2) Represents the difference between market value of portfolio equity in the
new interest rate environment and the current interest rate environment, and
then adjusted for income taxes using a 34% tax rate.
The negative one year cumulative interest sensitivity gap of $114,212,000
in the interest rate sensitivity analysis normally implies that the
Corporation's net interest income would rise if rates decline and fall if rates
increase. The simulation analysis presents a more accurate picture since certain
rate indices that reprice deposits do not change with the same magnitude over
the same period of time as changes in the prime or indices that reprice many
loans.
While the Corporation cannot predict future interest rates or their effects
on MVE or net interest income, the above analysis indicates that a change in
interest rates of plus or minus 3% is unlikely to have a material adverse effect
on net interest income and MVE in future periods. Computations of prospective
effects of hypothetical interest rate changes are based on numerous assumptions,
including relative levels of market interest rates, prepayments and deposit
run-offs and should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results. Certain
limitations are inherent in such computations. Certain assets and liabilities
may react differently than projected to changes in market interest rates. The
interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in
advance of changes in market interest rates, while rates on other types of
assets and liabilities may lag behind changes in market interest rates. In the
event of a change in interest rates, loan prepayments and early deposit
withdrawal levels could deviate significantly from those assumed in making the
calculations set forth above. Additionally, credit risk may increase if an
interest rate increase adversely affects the ability of many borrowers to
service their debt.
Investment Portfolio
The investment portfolio consists primarily of securities for which an
active market exists. The Bank's policy is to invest primarily in securities of
the U. S. Government and its agencies and in other high grade fixed income
securities to minimize credit risk.

$77,016,000 in federal agencies, $19,324,000 in state and municipal, and
$21,177,000 in other securities. A net unrealized loss of $2,647,000 related to
these securities at December 31, 1999. At December 31, 1998, securities
available for sale (at amortized cost) totaled $103,841,000 and included
$19,030,000 in U.S. Government securities, $49,843,000 in federal agencies,
$15,446,000 in state and municipal and $19,522,000 in other securities. A net
unrealized gain of $1,695,000 related to these securities at December 31, 1998.
Securities held to maturity totaled $44,400,000 and $57,877,000 at December
31, 1999 and 1998, respectively and had respective estimated fair values of
$43,634,000 and $59,207,000. Of the amount at December 31, 1999, $23,633,000 or
53% were federal agencies and $20,767,000 or 47% were state and municipal
securities. Securities held to maturity at December 31, 1999 consisted of
$600,000 due in one year or less, $21,050,000 due after one year through five
years, $14,645,000 due in five years through ten years and $8,105,000 due after
ten years. The state and municipal securities were diversified among many
different issues and localities.
The market value of securities held to maturity at December 31, 1999 was
less than the book value by $766,000. No losses are anticipated since the
Corporation has the ability and intent to hold these securities until their
respective maturities.
Loan Portfolio
Loans, net of unearned income increased $24,222,000 or 9.0% during 1999. As
shown in schedule A below, the primary increases in types of loans in 1999 were
real estate loans secured by nonfarm, nonresidential properties and real estate
loans secured by 1 - 4 family residential properties.
The loan portfolio is diversified and consists of 60.0% mortgage loans,
24.6% commercial loans and 15.4% consumer loans.
Note 11 of the Consolidated Financial Statements presents related party
loan activity. A substantial portion of the loan additions and payments result
from floorplan activity by two automobile dealerships owned separately by two of
the Corporation's Directors.
The Corporation does not participate in highly leveraged lending
transactions, as defined by the bank regulators and there are no loans of this
nature recorded in the loan portfolio. The Corporation has no foreign loans in
its portfolio.
Real Estate Loans
Commercial real estate loans have received considerable attention in recent
years by the bank regulators and the news media. The concerns have been in real
estate values in certain areas of the country and the quality of banks'
commercial real estate portfolios. It is difficult to measure commercial real
estate values within the Corporation's trade area due to the light sales
activity. Commercial real estate values did not escalate to levels seen in other
areas of the state and country during the ten years prior to the last recession
and management has not detected a significant change in values within the
Corporation's trade area during 1999 or 1998. Management has confined its real
estate lending to its trade area and has always taken a conservative approach in
its lending practice to maintain equity in real estate loans.
The total of outstanding real estate loans at December 31, 1999 was
$176,319,000. This consisted of $108,994,000 or 61.8% in loans secured by 1-4
family residential properties, $54,170,000 or 30.7% in loans secured by
non-farm, non-residential properties, $7,317,000 or 4.2% in construction and
land development, $1,306,000 or .7% in loans secured by farmland and $4,532,000
of other real estate loans.
Nonperforming real estate loans at December 31, 1999 and 1998 were $107,000
and $58,000, respectively. There were $3,000 real estate loans on accrual status
and past due 90 days or more at December 31, 1999 and none at December 31, 1998.
Asset Quality
The Corporation identifies specific credit exposures through its periodic
analysis of the loan portfolio and monitors general exposures from economic
trends, market values and other external factors. The Corporation maintains an
allowance for loan losses, which is available to absorb losses inherent in the
loan portfolio. The allowance is increased by the provision for losses and by
recoveries from losses. Charge-offs decrease the allowance. The adequacy of the
allowance for loan losses is determined on a quarterly basis. Various factors as
defined in the previous section "Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses" are
considered in determining the adequacy of the allowance.
Loans, other than consumer, are generally placed on nonaccrual status when
any portion of principal or interest is 90 days past due or collectability is
uncertain. Unless loans are in the process of collection, income recognized on
consumer loans is discontinued and the loans are charged off after a delinquency
of 90 days. Under the Corporation's policy a nonaccruing loan may be restored to
accrual status when none of its principal and interest is due and unpaid and the
Corporation expects repayment of the remaining contractual principal and
interest or when it otherwise becomes well secured and in the process of
collection.
Nonperforming assets include loans on which interest is no longer accrued,
loans classified as troubled debt restructurings and foreclosed properties.
Foreclosed properties were $30,000 at December 31, 1999 and $385,000 at December
31, 1998 and 1997. Two commercial real estate foreclosed properties were sold in
1999 at a gain of $94,000 to reduce foreclosed properties.
II-19
At December 31, 1999 and 1998, loans in a nonaccrual or restructured status
totaled approximately $292,000 and $190,000, respectively. As shown in schedule
C on page II -21, loans on accrual status and past due 90 days or more have
increased to $287,000 in 1999 from $249,000 in 1998. The total of nonperforming
loans and loans past due 90 days or more at December 31, 1999 was $579,000, an
increase of $140,000 from the $439,000 reported at December 31, 1998. Net
charge-offs as a percentage of average loans decreased to .13% in 1999 from .15%
in 1998. Management considers charge-off levels of .10% to .40% to be within
reasonable norms from a historical perspective.
Management has in place an aggressive program to control loan
delinquencies, and the level of past due loans and nonperforming loans is
considered to be within an acceptable range. Total nonperforming loans and loans
past due 90 days or more represent .20% of total loans at December 31, 1999 and
.16% at December 31, 1998. Total nonperforming loans and past due loans 90 days
or more on an accrual status is considered low by industry standards.

The allowance for loan losses is based upon the quality of loans as
determined by management taking into consideration historical loan loss
experience, diversification of the loan portfolio, amount of secured and
unsecured loans, banking industry standards and averages, and general economic
conditions. At the time that collection of the outstanding balance of specific
loans together with related interest is considered doubtful, such loans are
placed in a nonaccuring status.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
The majority of assets and liabilities of a financial institution are
monetary in nature and therefore differ greatly from most industrial companies
that have significant investments in fixed assets. Due to this fact, the effects
of inflation on the Corporation's balance sheet are minimal, meaning that there
are no substantial increases or decreases in net purchasing power over time. The
most significant effect of inflation is on other expenses which tend to rise
during periods of general inflation.
Management feels that the most significant impact on financial results is
changes in interest rates and the Corporation's ability to react to those
changes. As discussed previously, management is attempting to measure, monitor
and control interest rate risk.

MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following consolidated financial statements and related notes to
consolidated financial statements of American National Bankshares Inc. and
Subsidiary were prepared by Management which has the primary responsibility for
the integrity of the financial information. The statements have been prepared in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles appropriate in the
circumstances and include amounts that are based on Management's best estimates
and judgement. Financial information elsewhere in this Annual Report is
presented on a basis consistent with that in the financial statements.
In meeting its responsibility for the fair presentation of the financial
statements, Management relies on the Corporation's comprehensive system of
internal accounting controls. This system provides reasonable assurance that
assets are safeguarded and transactions are recorded to permit the preparation
of appropriate financial information. The system of internal controls is
characterized by an effective control-oriented environment within the
Corporation which is augmented by written policies and procedures, internal
audits and the careful selection and training of qualified personnel.
The functioning of the accounting system and related internal accounting
controls is under the general oversight of the Audit and Compliance Committee of
the Board of Directors which is comprised of three outside directors. The
accounting system and related controls are reviewed by an extensive program of
internal audits. The Audit and Compliance Committee meets regularly with the
internal auditors to review their work and ensure that they are properly
discharging their responsibilities. In addition, the Committee reviews and
approves the scope and timing of the internal audits and any findings with
respect to the system of internal controls. The Audit and Compliance Committee
also meets periodically with representatives of Arthur Andersen LLP, the
Corporation's independent public accountants, to discuss the results of their
audit as well as other audit and financial matters. Reports of examinations
conducted by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency are also reviewed by
the committee members.
The responsibility of Arthur Andersen LLP is limited to an expression of
their opinion as to the fairness of the financial statements presented. Their
opinion is based on an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards as described in the second paragraph of their report.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To American National Bankshares Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of American
National Bankshares Inc. (a Virginia corporation) and Subsidiary as of December
31, 1999 and 1998, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in
shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1999. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Corporation's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of American
National Bankshares Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and
the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997
American National Bankshares Inc. and Subsidiary
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Summary of Accounting Policies:
Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the amounts and results of
operations of American National Bankshares Inc. ("the Corporation") and its
wholly owned subsidiary, American National Bank and Trust Company ("the Bank").
The Bank offers a wide variety of retail, commercial and trust banking services
through its offices located in the trade area of the City of Danville, Virginia,
the Counties of Pittsylvania and Henry in Virginia and the County of Caswell in
North Carolina. ANB Mortgage Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank,
commenced mortgage lending operations in December 1996. ANB Services Corp.,
another wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank, was formed in October 1999 to offer
non-deposit products such as mutual funds and insurance products. All
significant intercompany transactions and accounts are eliminated in
consolidation.
Investment Securities
The Corporation classifies investment securities in one of three
categories: held to maturity, available for sale and trading.
Debt securities acquired with both the intent and ability to be held to
maturity are classified as held to maturity and reported at amortized cost.
Securities which may be used to meet liquidity needs arising from
unanticipated deposit and loan fluctuations, changes in regulatory capital and
investment requirements, or unforeseen changes in market conditions, including
interest rates, market values or inflation rates, are classified as available
for sale. Securities available for sale are reported at estimated fair value,
with unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of
shareholders' equity, net of tax. Gains or losses realized from the sale of
securities available for sale are determined by specific identification and are
included in non-interest income.
The Corporation does not permit the purchase or sale of trading account
securities.
Premiums and discounts on investment securities are amortized using the
interest method.
Loans
Loans are stated at the principal amount outstanding, net of unearned
income. Mortgage, consumer and commercial loans accrue interest on the unpaid
balance of the loans. The net amount of nonrefundable loan origination fees and
direct costs associated with the lending process are deferred and amortized to
interest income over the contractual lives of the loans using the effective
interest method.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is an estimate of losses inherent in the loan
portfolio as determined by management taking into consideration historical loan
loss experience, diversification of the loan portfolio, amounts of secured and
unsecured loans, banking industry standards and averages, and general economic
conditions. Ultimate losses may vary from current estimates. These estimates are
reviewed periodically and as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in
earnings in the periods in which they become reasonably estimable.
Bank Premises and Equipment
Additions and major replacements are added to bank premises and equipment
at cost. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense when incurred.
Premises and equipment are depreciated using primarily accelerated methods over
estimated lives generally as follows: buildings, 10 to 50 years; and furniture
and equipment, 3 to 10 years.
II-31
Intangible Assets
Premiums paid on acquisitions of deposits (core deposit intangibles) are
included in other assets in the "Consolidated Balance Sheets". Such assets are
being amortized on a straight line basis over 10 years. At December 31, 1999,
the Bank had $2,733,000 recorded as core deposit intangibles, net of
amortization. The Bank recorded core deposit intangible amortization of
approximately $450,000 for each of the three years ended December 31, 1999.
Foreclosed Properties
Foreclosed properties are included in other assets and represent other real
estate that has been acquired through loan or in-substance foreclosures or deeds
received in lieu of loan payments. Generally, such properties are appraised
annually, and they are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value less
estimated selling costs. When appropriate, adjustments to cost are charged or
credited to the allowance for foreclosed properties.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are provided where different accounting methods have
been used for reporting income for income tax and for financial reporting
purposes.
Earnings Per Share
The Corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per Share", in 1998. This statement requires the
dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share which are equal for
the Corporation for all periods presented. No restatement of prior periods was
required.
The Corporation issued a 2-for-1 stock split effected in the form of a 100%
stock dividend to shareholders of record July 1, 1999, payable on July 15, 1999.
All references to the number of common shares and all per share amounts have
been adjusted, as appropriate, to retroactively reflect the stock split.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1997, SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", was issued
which establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income
and its components. This statement requires comprehensive income and its
components, as recognized under the accounting standards, to be displayed in a
financial statement with the same prominence as other financial statements. The
requirements of SFAS No. 130 have been adopted and reflected in the
Corporation's Consolidated Financial Statements.
The FASB also issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information", in June 1997, which establishes new
standards for reporting information about operating segments in annual and
interim financial statements. This statement also requires descriptive
information about the way operating segments are determined, the products and
services provided by the segments and the nature of differences between
reportable segment measurements and those used for the consolidated entity. The
disclosure requirements of SFAS No.131 have been adopted and are included in
Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
In February, 1998, SFAS No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pension and
Other Postretirement Benefits", was issued, amending FASB Statements No. 87, 88,
and 106. This Statement does not change the measurement or recognition of
pension and postretirement benefit plans but standardizes disclosure
requirements. The new disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 132 have been adopted
and are included in Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
In June, 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities", which establishes accounting and reporting
standards requiring balance sheet recognition of all derivative instruments at
fair value. The statement specifies that changes in the fair value of derivative
instruments be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting
criteria are met. Special accounting for qualifying hedges allows derivative
gains and losses to offset related results on hedged items in the income
statement. Companies must formally document, designate and assess the
effectiveness of transactions utilizing hedge accounting. In June, 1999, the
FASB issued SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133", which
delays the original effective date of SFAS No. 133 until fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 2000. Adoption of SFAS No. 133 is not expected to have a material
impact on the Corporation.
II-32
The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of
Position ("SOP") No. 98-1, "Accounting for Costs of Computer Software Developed
or Obtained for Internal Use". SOP 98-1 requires capitalization of computer
software costs that meet certain criteria. The Corporation adopted the
provisions of this statement effective January 1, 1999. Implementation of this
SOP did not have a material effect on the Corporation.

securities were $8,592,000 in 1999, $14,753,000 in 1998 and $1,236,000 in 1997.
Proceeds from sales of investments in debt securities were $3,946,000 in 1999,
$0 in 1998 and $24,823,000 in 1997. The Bank recognized gains of $8,000 on sale
of securities in 1999, gains of $18,000 on called securities during 1998, and
losses of $13,000 and gains of $44,000 on sale of securities during 1997.
Investment securities with a book value of approximately $40,463,000 at
December 31, 1999 were pledged to secure deposits of the U. S. Government, state
and political sub-divisions and for other purposes as required by law. Of this
amount, $28,522,000 was pledged to secure repurchase agreements.
5. Loans:
Outstanding loans at December 31, 1999 and 1998 were composed of the
following (in thousands):
1999 1998
-------- --------
Real Estate loans:
Construction and land development $ 7,317 $ 8,104

Obligations 3,236 1,895
All other loans 24 15
-------- --------
Loans, net of unearned income $293,741 $269,519
======== ========
Loans, other than consumer, are generally placed on nonaccrual status when
any portion of principal or interest is 90 days past due or collectability is
uncertain. Unless loans are in the process of collection, income recognition on
consumer loans is discontinued and the loans are charged off after a delinquency
of 90 days. At December 31, 1999 and 1998, loans in a nonaccrual or restructured
status totaled approximately $292,000 and $190,000, respectively.
Interest income on nonaccrual loans, if recognized, is recorded on a cash
basis. For the years 1999, 1998 and 1997, the gross amount of interest income
that would have been recorded on nonaccrual loans and restructured loans, if all
such loans had been accruing interest at the original contractual rate, was
$23,000, $14,000 and $18,000, respectively. No interest payments were recorded
in 1999, 1998 or 1997 as interest income for all such nonperforming loans.
Under the Corporation's policy a nonaccruing loan may be restored to
accrual status when none of its principal and interest is due and unpaid and the
Corporation expects repayment of the remaining contractual principal and
interest or when it otherwise becomes well secured and in the process of
collection.
As of January 1, 1995, the Bank adopted SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan", which was amended by SFAS No. 118,
"Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan-Income Recognition and
Disclosures". SFAS No. 114, as amended, requires that impaired loans be measured
based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the
loan's effective interest rate, or as a practical expedient, at the loan's
observable market price or the fair value of the collateral, if the loan is
collateral-dependent. When the measure of the impaired loan is less than the
recorded investment in the loan, the impairment is recorded through a valuation
allowance. The Bank had previously measured the allowance for loan losses using
methods similar to those prescribed in SFAS No. 114. As a result of adopting
these statements, no additional allowance for loan losses was required as of
January 1, 1995.
II-35
For purposes of applying SFAS No. 114, commercial loans on nonaccrual
status are evaluated for impairment on an individual basis. Management assesses
the current economic condition and the historical repayment patterns of the
creditor in determining whether delays in repayment on the loans are considered
to be insignificant shortfalls or indicators of impairment. Those loans for
which management considers it probable that the Bank will be unable to collect
all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement are
considered to be impaired. All loans made by the Bank other than commercial
loans are excluded from the scope of SFAS No. 114 as they are considered
smaller-balance homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for
impairment. Interest income is recognized on impaired loans in the same manner
as loans on nonaccrual status. As of December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Bank had
not identified any loans as impaired.
The loan portfolio is concentrated primarily in the immediate geographic
region which is the Corporation's trade area consisting of the City of Danville,
City of Martinsville, Pittsylvania and Henry Counties in Virginia, Town of
Yanceyville and the northern half of Caswell County in North Carolina. There
were no concentrations of loans to any individual, group of individuals,
businesses or industry that exceeded 10% of the outstanding loans at December
31, 1999.
An analysis of the allowance for loan losses is as follows (in thousands):
1999 1998 1997

6. Time Deposits:
Included in time deposits are certificates of deposit in denominations of
$100,000 or more totaling $45,887,000, $32,851,000 and $32,815,000 at December
31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Interest expense on such deposits during
1999, 1998 and 1997 was $1,556,000, $1,436,000 and $1,570,000, respectively.
7. Short-Term Borrowings:
Repurchase agreements of $24,954,000 and $31,023,000 comprised short-term
borrowings at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Repurchase agreements
are borrowings collateralized by securities of the U.S. Government or its
agencies and mature daily. In addition, the Bank has approximately $52,600,000
in credit availabilty with the FHLB at December 31, 1999 which is secured by
qualifying mortgages or other acceptable security.
8. Stock Options:
In October 1995, SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation"
was issued. SFAS No. 123 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 1995. SFAS No.123 encourages companies to adopt the fair value method for
compensation expense recognition related to employee stock options. Existing
accounting requirements of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB No.
25) use the intrinsic value method in determining compensation expense, which
represents the excess of the market price of stock over the exercise price on
the measurement date. The Corporation elected to remain under APB No. 25 for
accounting for stock options. Since the exercise price of all options granted
was equal to or exceeded the market value of the stock at the date of grant, no
compensation expense has been recognized.
The following table reflects pro forma net income and earnings per share
had the Corporation elected to adopt the fair value approach of SFAS No. 123 (in
thousands except per share data):
1999 1998 1997

At December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, the Corporation had 300,000 shares of
its authorized but unissued common stock reserved for its incentive and
nonqualified stock option plan. These options vest from immediately to three
years and have a maximum term of ten years.

10. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities:
The consolidated financial statements do not reflect various commitments
and contingent liabilities which arise in the normal course of business to meet
the financing needs of customers. These include commitments to extend credit and
standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees,
elements of credit, interest rate and liquidity risk in excess of the amount
recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The extent of the Bank's
involvement in various commitments or contingent liabilities is expressed by the
contract or notional amounts of such instruments.
Commitments to extend credit, which amounted to $86,931,000 and $67,466,000
at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, represent legally binding
agreements to lend to a customer with fixed expiration dates or other
termination clauses. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire
without being funded, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent
future liquidity requirements.
There were no commitments at December 31, 1999 and $952,000 at December 31,
1998 to purchase securities when issued.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank
guaranteeing the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees
are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. At
December 31, 1999 and 1998 the Bank had $1,193,000 and $682,000 in outstanding
standby letters of credit.
Management and the Corporation's counsel are not aware of any pending
litigation against the Corporation and believe that there are no contingent
liabilities outstanding that will result in a material adverse effect on the
Corporation's consolidated financial position or consolidated results of
operations.
The Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve System and is required to
maintain certain levels of its cash and due from bank balances as reserves based
on regulatory requirements. At December 31, 1999, this reserve requirement was
approximately $1,488,000.
11. Related Party Transactions:
The Directors provide the Bank with substantial amounts of business, and
many are among its largest depositors and borrowers. The total amount of loans
outstanding to the executive officers, directors and their business interests
was $10,188,000 and $9,572,000 at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The
maximum amount of loans outstanding to the officers, directors and their
business interests at any month-end during 1999, 1998 and 1997 was approximately
4.6% of gross loans. Management believes that all such loans are made on
substantially the same terms, including interest rates, as those prevailing at
the time for comparable loans to similar, unrelated borrowers, and do not
involve more than a normal risk of collectability. As of December 31, 1999, none
of these loans were restructured, nor were any related party loans charged off
during 1999. An analysis of these loans for 1999 is as follows (in thousands):
Balance, beginning of year $ 9,572
Additions 21,223
Repayments (20,607)
---------
Balance, end of year $ 10,188

12. Employee Benefit Plans:
The Bank's retirement plan is a non-contributory defined benefit pension
plan which covers substantially all employees of the Bank who are 21 years of
age or older and who have had at least one year of service. Advanced funding is
accomplished by using the actuarial cost method known as the collective
aggregate cost method.
The following table sets forth the plan's funded status as of December 31,
1999 and 1998 (in thousands):

A non-contributory deferred compensation plan was adopted in 1982 by the
Board of Directors of the Bank which covers certain key executives. The expense
for this plan was $63,000, $151,000 and $129,000 for years 1999, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.
A 401(k) savings plan was adopted in 1995 which covers substantially all
full-time employees of the Bank. The Bank matches a portion of the contribution
made by employee participants after at least one year of service. The Bank
contributed $108,000, $92,000 and $87,000 to the 401(k) plan in 1999, 1998 and
1997, respectively. These amounts are included in pension and other employee
benefits expense for the respective years.

13. Fair Value of Financial Instruments:
The estimated fair values of the Corporation's assets are as follows (in
thousands):
December 31, 1999
---------------------------

Financial assets:
Cash and federal funds sold $ 17,291 $ 17,291

Other borrowings (13,000) (13,432)
Other liabilities (3,174) (3,174)
Off balance sheet instruments:
Commitments to extend credit - -
Standby letters of credit - (9)
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value
of each class of financial instruments for which it is practical to estimate
that value:
Cash and federal funds sold
The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Investment securities and other
For marketable securities held for investment purposes, fair values are
based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes. For other securities held as
investments, fair value equals market price, if available. If a quoted market
price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for
similar securities.
Other Assets
The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
II-40
Loans
Due to the repricing characteristics of revolving credit lines, home equity
loans and adjustable demand loans, the carrying amount of these loans is a
reasonable estimate of fair value. The fair value of other types of loans is
estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which
similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the
same remaining maturities. Prepayment rates are taken into consideration in the
calculation.
Deposits
The fair value of demand deposits, savings deposits, and money market
deposits equals the carrying value. The fair value of fixed-maturity
certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using
the current rates at which similar deposit instruments would be offered to
depositors for the same remaining maturities at current rates.
Federal funds purchased and repurchase agreements
The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Other Liabilities
The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Off balance sheet instruments
The fair value of commitments to extend credit is estimated using the fees
currently charged (if any) to enter into agreements, taking into account the
remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the
counterparties. At December 31, 1999 no fees were charged for commitments to
extend credit. All such commitments were subject to current market rates and
pose no known credit exposure. As a result, no fair value has been estimated for
these commitments.
The fair value of letters of credit is based on fees currently charged for
similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate them or otherwise
settle the obligations with the counterparties at the reporting date.
II-41
14. Dividend Restrictions and Capital:
The approval of the Comptroller of the Currency is required if the total of
all dividends declared by a national bank in any calendar year exceeds the
bank's net income, as defined, for that year combined with its retained net
income for the preceding two calendar years. Under this formula, the Bank can
distribute as dividends, without the approval of the Comptroller of the
Currency, $8,422,000 plus an additional amount equal to the Bank's net income
for 1999 up to the date of any dividend declaration.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require the Corporation and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of
total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets
(as defined), and of Tier 1 capital to average assets. At December 31, 1999 and
1998 these ratios were above the minimums as follows (in thousands).

15. Segment and Related Information:
The Corporation adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information", in 1998. Comparable prior period
information is presented. Reportable segments include community banking and
trust and investment services. Community banking involves making loans to and
generating deposits from individuals and businesses in the markets where the
Bank has offices. All assets and liabilities of the Bank are allocated to
community banking. Investment income from fixed income investments is a major
source of income in addition to loan interest income. Service charges from
deposit accounts and non-deposit fees such as automatic teller machine fees and
insurance commissions generate additional income for community banking.
Trust and investment services includes estate and trust planning and
administration and investment management for various entities. The trust and
investment services division of the Bank manages trusts, estates and purchases
equity, fixed income and mutual fund investments for customer accounts. The
trust and investment services division receives fees for investment and
administrative services. Fees are also received by this division for individual
retirement accounts managed for the community banking segment.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in
the summary of significant accounting policies. All intersegment sales prices
are market based.
Segment information for the years 1999, 1998 and 1997 is shown in the
following table (in thousands). The "Other" column includes corporate related
items, results of insignificant operations and, as it relates to segment profit
(loss), income and expense not allocated to reportable segments. Intersegment
eliminations primarily consist of the Corporation's investment in the Bank and
related equity earnings.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD
The Board of Directors held 14 Board Meetings during the year 1999. These
meetings were either the Corporation Board Meetings and/or the Bank Board
Meetings. In addition to meeting as a group to review the Corporation and Bank's
business, certain members of the Board are appointed to serve on various
standing committees. Among those committees are the Audit and Compliance
Committee, Salary Committee and Directors' Nominating Committee. All incumbent
directors attended more than 75% of the aggregate of all meetings of the Board
of Directors and Committees on which they served.
Audit and Compliance Committee. The Audit and Compliance Committee, which
currently consists of Messrs. Barker, Blair and Leggett, reviews significant
audit, accounting, and compliance principles, policies and practices, meets with
the Corporation and Bank's independent auditors to discuss the results of their
annual audit and reviews the performance of the internal auditing and compliance
functions. The Audit and Compliance Committee held four meetings in 1999.
Salary Committee. The Salary Committee currently consists of Messrs.
Barkhouser, Davenport, Hudson and Leggett. The Salary Committee makes
recommendations to the Board of Directors for officers' compensation and
promotions, directors' fees and related personnel matters. The Salary Committee
held two meetings in 1999.
Directors' Nominating Committee. The Committee's function is to search for
potential qualified directors, to review the qualifications of potential
directors as suggested by Directors, Management, Shareholders and others, and to
make recommendations to the entire Board for nominations of such individuals to
the shareholders. A shareholder may recommend nominees for director by writing
to the President of the Corporation and providing the proposed nominee's full
name, address, qualifications and other relevant biographical information.
Members of the present committee are Messrs. Barkhouser, Owen and Wyatt. The
Directors' Nominating Committee held two meetings in 1998 and held no meetings
in 1999.
REPORT OF SALARY COMMITTEE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The Salary Committee of the Board of Directors, which is composed of four
independent outside directors, is responsible for making recommendations to the
Board of Directors concerning compensation. The Salary Committee considers a
variety of factors and criteria in arriving at its recommendations for
compensation of executive officers.
In making its recommendations regarding compensation, the Committee
attempts to align the interests of the Bank's executive officers with those of
the shareholders. The Committee believes that increases in profits, dividends,
and net equity improve shareholder market value and, accordingly, compensation
should be structured to enhance the long-term profitability of the Bank.
I-6
Executive officer compensation generally consists of salary, participation
in the Bank's profit sharing plan, and incentive compensation. A description of
the profit sharing plan is included in Note (2) under Executive Compensation.
Executive officers received incentive compensation in 1999 due to the attainment
of certain earnings by the Corporation. They may be eligible to receive
incentive compensation if certain earnings are attained in 2000. Certain key
executive officers are eligible to participate in the Executive Compensation
Continuation Plan described below under "Deferred Compensation Plan". All
compensation is paid by the Bank and no officer receives additional compensation
from the Corporation. In 1997, the Board of Directors and the shareholders
approved the stock option plan described below under Note (3) of "Executive
Compensation".
In considering executive officer compensation (other than the Chief
Executive Officer), the Committee receives and considers recommendations from
the Chief Executive Officer. The Committee conducts an annual evaluation of the
performance and effectiveness of the Chief Executive Officer. The Chief
Executive Officer's compensation then is determined by the Committee after
consideration of the Bank's performance and the resulting benefit to the
shareholders.

(1) Includes salary deferrals contributed by the employee to the 401(k) Plan
and taxable compensation for term life insurance over $50,000.
(2) Includes accrued payments of profit sharing (bonus) and incentive
compensation participations. In 1999, the profit-sharing (bonus) plan
provided that an amount equal to 6.50% of the Bank's net income (after
taxes, but before deducting profit sharing and its related tax effect),
less the Bank's 401(k) contributions, be paid to officers and employees who
are in the Bank's employ on December 31, 1999. Incentive compensation
represented payments to full-time officers based on the Corporation
attaining certain earnings increase and officers meeting certain strategic
goals. The total expense, paid or accrued, for the profit sharing (bonus)
plan and incentive compensation payments for the year 1999 amounted to
$683,843.
(3) The Corporation grants options pursuant to the Corporation's Stock Option
Plan approved by the shareholders at the 1997 annual meeting. Options
granted prior to July 1, 1999 have been restated to reflect the impact of a
2-for-1 stock split.
(4) Includes matching contributions to the 401(k) Plan made by the Bank.
Effective July 1, 1995, the Bank adopted a 401(k) Plan which covers
substantially all full-time employees who are 21 years of age or older. An
employee may defer a portion of his or her salary, not to exceed the lesser
of 15% of compensation or $10,000. After one year of service, the Bank will
make a matching contribution in the amount of 50% of the first 6% of
compensation so deferred.

OPTION REPRICING
No action was taken in 1999 to lower the exercise price of an option held
by the Named Executive Officers.
SALARY COMMITTEE
INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
The Salary Committee of the Bank, during 1999, was composed of Messrs.
Barkhouser, Davenport, Hudson, and Leggett. None of the members of the Salary
Committee were officers or employees of the Corporation or its subsidiaries
during 1999 or in prior years.
None of the executive officers of the Corporation or Bank served as a
member of the Board of Directors or as a member of the Compensation Committee
(or other Board Committee performing equivalent functions) of another entity
during 1999, which entity had an executive officer serving on the Board of
Directors or as a member of the Salary Committee of the Corporation or the Bank.
Consequently, there are no interlocking relationships between the Corporation or
Bank and other entities that might affect the determination of the compensation
of executive officers of the Corporation or Bank.
Retirement Plan. The Bank's retirement plan is a non-contributory defined
benefit pension plan which covers salaried and regular hourly employees of the
Bank who are 21 years of age or older and who have had at least one year of
service. Advanced funding is accomplished by using the actuarial cost method
known as the collective aggregate cost method.
As of December 31, 1999, the normal retirement benefit formula was 1.3% per
year of service times compensation plus .65% per year of service times
compensation in excess of social security covered compensation with years of
service limited to 35. At normal retirement, the monthly benefit is calculated
based on any consecutive five-year period which will produce the highest average
rate of basic monthly compensation. Basic monthly compensation includes salary
but excludes incentive and bonus compensation. Annual compensation at December
31, 1999 was also limited to $160,000 by Internal Revenue regulations. Cash
benefits under the plan generally commence on retirement at age 65, death, or
termination of employment. Partial vesting of the retirement benefits under the
plan occurs after three years of service and full vesting occurs after seven
years of service.
The following table illustrates the estimated annual benefits payable to an
employee retiring on December 31, 1999 at normal retirement age in the following
specified compensation and years of service classifications:

As of December 31, 1999, the Named Executive Officers have completed the
following years of credited service under the Bank's retirement plan:
Charles H. Majors 7
E. Budge Kent, Jr. 35
T. Allen Liles 2
Carl T. Yeatts 35
Deferred Compensation Plan. The Board of Directors of the Bank adopted the
Executive Compensation Continuation Plan, a non-contributory deferred
compensation plan, in 1982. Under the plan, certain key executives who, in the
opinion of the Board of Directors, are making substantial contributions to the
overall growth and success of the Bank and who must be retained in order to
expand and continue satisfactory long term growth are eligible to receive
benefits afforded by the plan.
Under agreements with eligible key executives pursuant to this plan, if any
such executive dies or retires while employed by the Bank, such executive or his
designated beneficiary will receive annual payments commencing at death or
retirement and continuing for 10 years. Retirement age under existing agreements
begins on or after age 62.
As of December 31, 1999, the Named Executive Officers or their designated
beneficiaries are eligible to receive the following annual retirement benefits
for ten years after meeting the age requirement of 62:
Annual Benefit Years to
Name for 10 Years (in $) Vesting

Charles H. Majors 50,000 8
E. Budge Kent, Jr. 25,000 1
T. Allen Liles 25,000 15
Carl T. Yeatts 25,000 1
Directors' Compensation. In 1999, non-officers directors, except Mr. Davis,
received a monthly retainer of $500 and attendance fees of $300 for each regular
Board meeting and $400 for each Committee meeting attended. The aggregate total
amount paid to non-officer directors, excluding Mr. Davis, for the year 1999 was
$125,500. Mr. Davis was a Named Executive Officer in previous years but elected
to become a senior consultant and retire as an officer, effective December 31,
1997. Mr. Davis can receive $5,500 per month through March, 2003 for services as
a consultant. No additional compensation is paid to Mr. Davis for service on the
Board of Directors or for attending Committee meetings. Non-officer directors
are excluded from the Bank's retirement plan and, therefore, do not qualify for
pension benefits.
Indebtedness of and Transactions with Management
Some of the directors and officers of the Corporation and the companies
with which they are associated were customers of, and had banking transactions
with, the Bank in the ordinary course of the Bank's business during 1999. All
loans and commitments to loan included in such transactions were made on
substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those
prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons and, in
the opinion of the management of the Bank, do not involve more than a normal
risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features.
During the year 1999, the highest aggregate amount of outstanding loans,
direct and indirect, to the directors and officers was $13,052,341 or 24% of
equity capital and this peak amount occurred on June 30, 1999.
Independent Public Accountants
The Board of Directors of the Corporation, pursuant to the recommendation
of its Audit and Compliance Committee, selected Arthur Andersen, LLP,
independent public accountants, to audit the financial statements of the
Corporation and the Bank for the year 1999. Arthur Andersen, LLP was first
engaged by the Bank in 1978 as its independent public accountant.
A representative of Arthur Andersen, LLP will be present at the
shareholders' meeting and this representative will have an opportunity to make a
statement if he so desires. He will be available to respond to appropriate
questions.

Meeting must be received at the principal office of the Corporation (Post Office
Box 191, Danville, Virginia 24543) for inclusion in the proxy statement for the
2000 annual meeting not later than January 3, 2001. The proposals should be

Other Business
The Board of Directors knows of no other matters which may properly be
brought before the Annual Meeting. However, if any other matters should properly
come before the Annual Meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the
