National Bankshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2005
(Unaudited)
($ In thousands)

Note (1)

The consolidated financial statements of National Bankshares, Inc.
(Bankshares) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, The National Bank of Blacksburg
(NBB), Bank of Tazewell County (BTC) and National Bankshares Financial Services,
Inc. (NBFS), (the Company), conform to accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America and to general practices within the banking
industry. The accompanying interim period consolidated financial statements are
unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of
normal recurring adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the
consolidated financial statements have been included. The results of operations
for the three months ended March 31, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of
results of operations for the full year or any other interim period. The interim
period consolidated financial statements and financial information included
herein should be read in conjunction with the notes to consolidated financial
statements included in the Company's 2004 Form 10-K.

Note (2) Stock-Based Compensation

At March 31, 2005, the Company had a stock-based employee compensation
plan, which is described more fully in the Company's Form 10-K dated December
31, 2004. The Company accounts for this plan under the recognition and
measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees, and related Interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation
cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under the plan had an
exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the
date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and
earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition
provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,
to stock-based employee compensation.

Note (5) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement No. 123R (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment," (FAS 123R) that
addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions in which a company
receives employee services in exchange for either equity instruments of the
company or liabilities that are based on the fair value of the company's equity
instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments.
FAS 123R eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation
transactions using the intrinsic method and requires that such transactions be
accounted for using a fair-value-based method and recognized as expense in the
consolidated statement of income. The effective date of FAS 123R (as amended by
the SEC) is for annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The provisions of
FAS 123R do not have an impact on the Company's results of operations at the
present time.

In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulleting No. 107 (SAB
107). SAB 107 expresses the views of the SEC staff regarding the interaction of
FAS 123R and certain SEC rules and regulations and provides the SEC staff's view
regarding the valuation of share-based payment arrangements for public
companies. SAB 107 does not impact the Company's results of operations at the
present time.

Employer Contributions

Bankshares previously disclosed in its financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 2004, an estimated quarterly minimum contribution of $124 to
its pension plan in 2005. That estimate has since been revised and Bankshares
now expects to contribute a total of $610, paid in quarterly installments, to
the pension plan for 2005. As of March 31, 2005, no contribution had yet been
made. Bankshares anticipates making all required contributions prior to the end
of 2005.

Note (7) Acquisitions
In February of 2005, the Company acquired two branches from Planters
Bank and Trust Company of Virginia. The transaction added approximately $8,831
in loans and approximately $22,009 in deposits. A deposit intangible of
approximately $1,304 arose as a result of the transaction. This intangible will
amortize over twelve years. Approximately $311 in fixed assets were also
acquired.

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

The purpose of this discussion is to provide information about the
financial condition and results of operations of National Bankshares, Inc. and
its wholly owned subsidiaries (the Company), which are not otherwise apparent
from the consolidated financial statements and other information included in
this report. Reference should be made to the financial statements and other
information included in this report as well as the 2004 Annual Report on Form
10-K for an understanding of the following discussion and analysis.
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company's actual results could
differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

General

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

The allowance for loan losses is an estimate of the losses that may be
sustained in our loan portfolio. The allowance is based on two basic principles
of accounting: (i) SFAS 5, Accounting for Contingencies, which requires that
losses be accrued when they are probable of occurring and estimable and (ii)
SFAS 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, which requires that
losses be accrued based on the differences between the value of collateral,
present value of future cash flows or values that are observable in the
secondary market and the loan balance.
Our allowance for loan losses has three basic components: the formula
allowance, the specific allowance and the unallocated allowance. Each of these
components is determined based upon estimates that can and do change when actual
events occur. The formula allowance uses a historical loss view as an indicator
of future losses and, as a result, could differ from the loss incurred in the
future. However, since this history is updated with the most recent loss
information, the errors that might otherwise occur are mitigated. The specific
allowance uses various techniques to arrive at an estimate of loss. Historical
loss information, expected cash flows and fair market value of collateral are
used to estimate these losses. The use of these values is inherently subjective
and our actual losses could be greater or less than the estimates. The
unallocated allowance captures losses that are attributable to various economic
events, industry or geographic sectors, whose impact on the portfolio have
occurred but have yet to be recognized in either the formula or specific
allowance.

Core deposit intangibles

Effective January 1, 2002, the Corporation adopted Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.
Accordingly, goodwill is no longer subject to amortization over its estimated
useful life, but is subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment by
applying a fair value based test. Additionally, Statement 142 requires that
acquired intangible assets (such as core deposit intangibles) be separately
recognized if the benefit of the asset can be sold, transferred, licensed,
rented, or exchanged and amortized over its estimated useful life. Branch
acquisition transactions were outside the scope of the Statement and therefore
any intangible asset arising from such transactions remained subject to
amortization over their estimated useful life.
In October 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement No. 147, Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions. The Statement
amends previous interpretive guidance on the application of the purchase method
of accounting to acquisitions of financial institutions, and requires the
application of Statement No. 141, Business Combinations, and Statement No. 142
to branch acquisitions if such transactions meet the definition of a business
combination. The provisions of the Statement do not apply to transactions
between two or more mutual enterprises. In addition, the Statement amends
Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets, to
include in its scope core deposit intangibles of financial institutions.
Accordingly, such intangibles are subject to a recoverability test based on
undiscounted cash flows, and to the impairment recognition and measurement
provisions required for other long-lived assets held and used. The Company has
determined that the acquisitions that generated the intangible assets and
goodwill on the consolidated balance sheets in the amount of $9,958 and $10,912
at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, did not constitute the acquisition
of a business, and therefore will continue to be amortized.

Overview

National Bankshares, Inc. (NBI) is a financial holding company located in
Southwest Virginia. It conducts operations primarily through two full-service
banking affiliates, the National Bank of Blacksburg and Bank of Tazewell County.
It also has one nonbanking affiliate, National Bankshares Financial Services,
Inc., which offers investment and insurance products. Net income derived from
the nonbanking affiliate is not significant at this time or for the foreseeable
future. NBI is a community bank operation.

Performance Summary

The following table shows NBI's key performance ratios for the period ended
March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 and 2003:


March 31, 2005 December 31, 2004 December 31, 2003
- ----------------------------------------------- ------------------- ---------------------- -----------------------

Return on average assets 1.51% 1.62% 1.64%
- ----------------------------------------------- ------------------- ---------------------- -----------------------
Return on average equity 13.78% 14.48% 14.77%
- ----------------------------------------------- ------------------- ---------------------- -----------------------
Net interest margin (1) 4.71% 4.69% 4.82%
- ----------------------------------------------- ------------------- ---------------------- -----------------------
Noninterest margin (2) 1.96% 1.77% 1.81%
- ----------------------------------------------- ------------------- ---------------------- -----------------------
Basic net earnings per share $0.85 $3.48 $3.26
- ----------------------------------------------- ------------------- ---------------------- -----------------------
Fully diluted net earnings per share $0.85 $3.46 $3.24
- ----------------------------------------------- ------------------- ---------------------- -----------------------


(1) Net Interest Margin - Year-to-date tax-equivalent net interest income
divided by year-to-date average earning assets using a tax rate of 35%.
(2) Noninterest Margin - Noninterest income (including securities gains and
losses) less noninterest expense (excluding the provision for bad debts
and income taxes) divided by average year-to-date assets.

The Company undertook three acquisitions during the period from the second
quarter of 2004 through the first quarter of 2005. These acquisitions resulted
in substantial growth.

16



As shown above, the interest margin has remained stable during the period
of expansion. Net interest income at March 31, 2005 was $7,992, an 11.03%
increase when compared to the prior year.
Noninterest income has remained essentially flat throughout the period.
However, in large part because of the acquisitions, noninterest expense
increased substantially. A comparison of the periods ended March 31, 2004 and
2005 shows an increase of $869 or 18.03%.

Growth


The following table shows NBI's key growth indicators:

March 31, 2005 December 31, 2004 December 31, 2003
- ----------------------- ---------------------- --------------------- ----------------------

Securities $262,204 $250,708 $230,154
- ----------------------- ---------------------- --------------------- ----------------------
Loans, net 488,735 472,199 401,428
- ----------------------- ---------------------- --------------------- ----------------------
Deposits 723,873 705,932 625,378
- ----------------------- ---------------------- --------------------- ----------------------
Total assets 816,988 796,154 708,560
- ----------------------- ---------------------- --------------------- ----------------------


At March 31, 2005 total assets were $816,988, a $20,834 increase from
December 31, 2004. During the first quarter of 2005 the Company acquired
approximately $22,009 in deposits from Planters
Bank and Trust Company of Virginia. Also acquired in this transaction were
$8,831 in loans.
This transaction accounted for the majority of the deposit growth and
roughly one-half of the growth observed in loans. Surplus funds acquired in the
transaction also contributed to growth in the investment portfolio.
No further acquisitions are contemplated at this time.

Asset Quality

Key asset quality indicators are shown below:


March 31, 2005 December 31,2004 December 31, 2003
- --------------------------------------------- ------------------- -------------------- ----------------------

Nonperforming loans $ 347 $ 394 $ 354
- --------------------------------------------- ------------------- -------------------- ----------------------
Loans past due over 90 days 763 754 931
- --------------------------------------------- ------------------- -------------------- ----------------------
Other real estate owned 715 895 1,663
- --------------------------------------------- ------------------- -------------------- ----------------------
Allowance for loan losses to loans 1.16% 1.20% 1.32%
- --------------------------------------------- ------------------- -------------------- ----------------------
Net charge-off ratio .17% .30% .34%
- --------------------------------------------- ------------------- -------------------- ----------------------


This data indicates that the level of nonperforming loans has remained
stable, as has the level of loans past due 90 days or more. Other real estate
owned continues to decline as properties are foreclosed upon and sold. Asset
quality is excellent at one of the Company's subsidiary banks, and it is
improving at the Company's second banking affiliate.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the period ended March 31, 2005 was $7,992, an
increase of $794 or 11.03%, over the same period in 2004. As previously
mentioned, the Company has been in a period of substantial growth, and this
growth is the source of the increase in net interest income.
Overall, the net interest margin has responded well to the acquisitions
completed over the past year. At March 31, 2005 the net interest margin
was 4.71%, and it was 4.77% at March 31, 2004. With the assets from the
past year's acquisitions, some fluctuation in the net interest margin
was
expected. It was also expected that the acquired assets and liabilities would
not be optimal from an asset and liability management perspective, and would
require some adjustments going forward.

Net Interest Income - Trends and Future Expectations

During 2004, the Federal Reserve Board initiated a series of interest
rate increases. These increases were designed to restore interest rates to
historically more typical levels and to prevent inflation. Rate increases have
occurred at regular intervals, each at 25 basis points to date.
Some economists have speculated that larger interest rate increases will
be necessary to combat inflation, especially with recently rising energy prices.
However, others theorize that rising energy costs restrict consumers' ability to
spend on other goods, thus reducing demand. This, in turn, restricts the ability
of manufacturers to raise the price of their products. As long as wages remain
stable, inflation caused by rising energy costs is not seen as a substantial
threat.
In either case, if interest rates rise rapidly, the Company's
performance could be negatively affected, as the Company is liability sensitive.
(See "Interest Rate Sensitivity") In other words, interest-bearing liabilities
re-price faster than interest-earning assets. In this scenario, interest expense
grows at a faster rate than interest income and adversely affects profitability.
Most banks are similarly affected to some degree.
The general impact of a rising interest rate scenario on the Company's
balance sheet follows.

Federal Funds sold and Interest-bearing deposits - These are overnight
funds used primarily for liquidity purposes. They mature daily and, accordingly,
interest rates change daily, which is advantageous in a period of rising
interest rates. However these funds yield low interest, making other investments
more attractive from an earnings standpoint.

Securities available for sale - This category provides a higher level of
earnings than overnight funds and can under certain circumstances be a source of
liquidity and also demonstrate the ability to re-price. While these securities
technically can be sold to provide liquidity and for interest rate sensitivity
purposes, temporary declines in fair market value due to rising interest rates
may make it unprofitable to sell the securities. In addition, embedded call
features may not be activated during periods of high rates, leaving the Company
with a "hold" or "sell" decision. See page 19 of the Company's 2004 Form 10-K
for re-pricing data, and see also "Interest Rate Sensitivity".

Securities held to maturity - This category due to its nature is not
necessarily structured to be a source of liquidity or to moderate interest rate
sensitivity. These securities must be held to maturity except under the most
extenuating circumstances. In a rising rate environment, the difference in the
amount of interest-income earned and cost to fund the securities decreases. In
other words net interest income from these investments declines. Embedded call
features may not be activated during periods of high rates. The Company then
only has the option to hold the securities until maturity. See the Company's
2004 Form 10-K for re-pricing data, and see also "Interest Rate Sensitivity".

Mortgage loans held for sale - This category is primarily driven by
volume. In periods of low interest rates, mortgage refinancing activity and home
sales tend to accelerate and generate higher revenue levels than are experienced
in times of high interest rates. In the last two years re-financing activity has
been significant. Recently, however, despite the continuing low rate
environment, activity has declined. This may signal the end to what many have
characterized as a refinancing boom.

Loans - While low rate environments are more conducive to loan
production than periods of extremely high interest rates, interest rates that
are unusually low are a sign of a weak or a recovering economy. Ideal volumes
may in fact be achieved in a more robust economy in which more moderate rate
levels exist. If the economy continues to recover as forecast, higher loan
volumes will have a positive impact on net interest income.

18


Except for acquisitions, an underlying, concern is loans to individuals.
A downward trend in the total of loans to individuals has existed for several
quarters. Management believes the decline is due to several reasons.
o General economic conditions and the lack of employment in portions of the
Company's market area.
o A decline in consumer requests for new car financing because of special
incentives offered by automobile companies.
o Consumers' use of credit cards and home equity lines with higher credit
limits.
o Consumers taking advantage of low mortgage rates to refinance home
mortgages to obtain funds that might otherwise have been borrowed through a
consumer loan.
A reversal of this trend may occur to some extent as economic conditions
change and higher interest rates make mortgage refinancing less appealing.
However, management believes that the automotive related financing offers and
competition from the credit card sector will remain. Since loans to individuals
are generally higher yielding, this trend will not have a favorable effect on
net interest income.

Interest Expense

Interest expense at March 31, 2005 was $3,043, an increase of $444 or
17.08% from the same period the prior year. As previously discussed, the Company
has experienced a period of substantial growth. Interest bearing deposits during
the period increased by $71,552 or 13.42%. Rising interest rates have also
exerted some upward pressure in this area.
During periods of rising interest rates, interest-bearing demand
deposits, and to a lesser degree savings deposits, migrate to higher rate,
longer-term time deposits. Generally, as rates climb, more migration occurs.
Given their re-pricing characteristics, interest-bearing demand deposits readily
respond to any interest rate movement. In other words, increases or decreases in
interest expense can occur quite quickly.
With a definite bias towards higher interest rates in the future, it is
expected that the net interest margin will decline, at least temporarily, in
response to rising interest rates. The ultimate impact of rising interest rates
is dependent upon the number of rate increases, the amount of these rate
increases and the level to which interest rates ultimately rise.

Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses for the period ended March 31, 2005 was
$190, a $98 decrease from the period ended March 31, 2004. The ratio of the
allowance for loan losses to total loans at the end of the first quarter of 2005
was 1.16%, which compares to 1.31% at the same period last year. The net
charge-off ratio at March 31, 2005 was .17%, and it was .23% at March 31, 2004.
The Company regularly reviews asset quality and re-evaluates the
allowance for loan losses. Reviews are conducted for each of the two bank
subsidiaries, and an appropriate provision and allowance for loan losses is
established for each bank, depending upon factors that are unique to that bank
and the quality of its loan portfolio. Because of the continued excellent
quality of the loan portfolio at one subsidiary bank and the improving quality
of the loan portfolio at the second bank, it is management's judgement that the
decrease in the provision for loan losses is justified and the allowance is
appropriate and adequate. (See "Allowance for Loan Losses" under "Critical
Accounting Policies".)

Noninterest Income
March 31, 2005 March 31, 2004 March 31, 2003
- ----------------------------------- ----------------------- ------------------------ ------------------------

Service charges on deposits $675 $675 $526
- ----------------------------------- ----------------------- ------------------------ ------------------------
Other service charges and fees 87 72 75
- ----------------------------------- ----------------------- ------------------------ ------------------------

- ----------------------------------- ----------------------- ------------------------ ------------------------
Realized securities gains/losses (33) (6) (9)
- ----------------------------------- ----------------------- ------------------------ ------------------------


Noninterest income is made up of several categories. Following is a
description of each, as well as the factors that influence each.
Service charges on deposit accounts consist of a variety of charges
imposed on demand deposits, interest-bearing deposits and savings deposit
accounts. These include, but are not limited to, the following: o Demand deposit
monthly activity fees o Service charges for checks for which there are
non-sufficient funds or overdraft charges o ATM transaction fees
The principal factors affecting current or future income are:
o Internally generated growth
o Acquisitions of other banks/branches or de novo branches
o Adjustments to service charge structures
As the above table demonstrates, there was no change in this category
between 2004 and 2005.

Other service charges and fees consist of several categories. The
primary categories are listed below.
o Fees for the issuance of official checks
o Safe deposit box rent
o Income from the sale of customer checks
o Income from the sale of credit life and accident and health insurance
Levels of income derived from these categories vary. Fees for the issuance of
official checks and customer check sales tend to grow as the existing franchise
grows and as new offices are added. Fee schedules, while subject to change,
generally do not alone yield a significant or discernable increase in income
when they change. The most significant growth in safe deposit box rent also
comes with an expansion of offices. Safe deposit box fee schedules, which are
already at competitive levels, are occasionally adjusted. Income derived from
the sale of credit life insurance and accident and health insurance varies with
loan volumes.

Credit card fees consist of three types of revenues as follows.
o Credit card transaction fees
o Debit card transaction fees
o Merchant fees
In all three cases volume is critical to growth in income. For debit and credit
cards the number of accounts, whether obtained from internal growth or by
acquisition, is the key factor. Merchant fees also depend on the number of
merchants in the Company's program, as well as the type of business and the
level of transaction discounts associated with them.

Trust income is somewhat dependent upon market conditions and the number
of estate accounts being handled at any given point in time. Financial market
conditions, which affect the value of trust assets managed, can vary, leading
to fluctuations in the related income. Over the past few years and into 2005,

20



the financial markets have experienced a significant degree of volatility.
Income from estates is also unpredictable, as the number of estates at any
given time is impossible to predict.
Trust income for the period ended March 31, 2005 was $408, down $101
from the same period in 2004. This decrease was almost exclusively caused by
the unpredictable fluctuation in estate income.

The other income category is used for types of income that cannot be
classified with other forms of noninterest income. The category includes such
things as:
o Net gains on the sale of fixed assets
o Rent on foreclosed property
o Income from cash value life insurance
o Other infrequent or minor forms of income
o Revenue from investment and insurance sales
Given the nature of the items included in this category, it is difficult to
determine trends or patterns. Items warranting discussion are usually
non-recurring in nature.
Realized loss on securities was $(33). The majority of the loss was due
to write-downs in certain investments in limited liability companies (LLC's) of
which the Company is part owner. The LLC's are in the business of selling
insurance, investment services and the sale of title insurance.

- ----------------------------- --------------------------- -------------------------- ---------------------------


Noninterest expense includes several categories. Following is a brief
description of the factors that affect each.

In addition to employee salaries, the salaries and benefits expense
category includes the costs of employment taxes and employee fringe benefits.
Certain of these are:
o Health insurance
o Employee life insurance
o Dental insurance
o Executive compensation plans (1)
o Pension plans (1)
o Employee stock option plan (1)
o Employer FICA
o Unemployment taxes
(1) See the 2004 Form 10-K and the Proxy Statement for the 2005 Annual
Stockholders meeting for further information

21


For the first quarter of 2005, salary and benefits expense was up by
$344. A greater number of employees because of acquisitions, routine salary
increases, pensions and health insurance cost increases contributed to the
increase.
At March 31, 2005 the Company employed 274 full time equivalent
employees compared to 249 full time equivalent employees at March 31, 2004. Most
of the 25 additional employees were hired because of the acquisitions, and it is
estimated that approximately $147 of the $344 increase is due to those
acquisitions.

Occupancy costs include such items as depreciation expense, maintenance
of the properties, repairs and real estate taxes.
This category is most affected by new property acquisitions resulting
from mergers, branch purchases or construction of new branch facilities.
Conversely, expense can be lowered by branch office consolidations or closures,
which though infrequent, have occurred. Occasionally, but not frequently,
repairs and other expense items may be significant. This category increased $41
when the first quarters of 2005 and 2004 are compared. Included in the increase
are depreciation of costs related to a new phone system and for fixed assets
purchased in acquistions.

The Company maintains its own data processing facility and has ATM's at
twenty-five of the branch offices of its subsidiary banks and at three off-site
locations. Costs to operate ATM's are reflected in this category and include
depreciation, maintenance, communication lines and certain supplies.
For the period ended March 31, 2005 data processing and ATM expenses
were up $188 when compared to the same period in 2004.
Included in this increase were costs related to the operations of five
additional ATM's. Conversion costs associated with acquisitions was
approximately $82. Also included in this category are out-sourced data
processing fees of $44 for Community National Bank (CNB), which was acquired the
second quarter of 2004. CNB's data processing was combined with NBB's during the
first quarter.

Credit card processing includes costs associated with the processing of
credit cards, debit cards and merchant transactions. These expenses are related
to credit card income previously discussed in "Noninterest Income", and the
comments in that section are applicable.

Intangibles amortized and goodwill increased by $28 due to acquisition
activity.

At March 31, 2005 the net cost of other real estate owned was $108. Of
that amount, approximately $78 was losses on disposal of foreclosed properties
and remaining $30 write-downs. Given the number of these properties, more losses
are possible. The March 31, 2005 costs are not necessarily indicative of the
full year for 2005. Other real estate owned at March 31, 2005 was $715, which
compares to $895 at December 31, 2004.

Other operating expenses include all other forms of expense not
classified elsewhere in the Company's statement of income. Included in this
category are such items as stationery and supplies, franchise taxes,
contributions, telephone, postage and other operating costs.
Many of the expenses included in this category are relatively stable or
increase with inflation moderately from year-to-year. However, there are some
items included in the category, such as other losses and charge-offs and
repossession expense, which can vary from time to time. While many of the items
in this category have identifiable trends, others may have frequent nonrecurring
items or items that occur at no particular frequency.
Overall costs for this category increased by 16.30%, when the periods
ending March 31, 2005 and March 31, 2004 are compared.
Included in the category is stationery and supplies, which increased
approximately $32.

22


Postage expenses were also up $32. This was due to an increase in volume
because of acquisitions, including two complete computer system conversions
which required additional mailings.

Balance Sheet

Year-to-date daily averages for the major balance sheet categories are
as follows:

Assets March 31, 2005 December 31, 2004

The mix of loan categories at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 are shown in
the following table.

March 31, 2005 December 31, 2004
- --------------------------------- ---------------- -------------------
Construction loans (1) $25,826 $25,009
- --------------------------------- ---------------- -------------------
Real estate loans 116,983 115,388
- --------------------------------- ---------------- -------------------
Commercial and industrial loans 260,980 248,523
- --------------------------------- ---------------- -------------------
Loans to individuals 91,566 89,889
- --------------------------------- ---------------- -------------------
(1) All categories shown reflect gross loans at period-end.

During the first quarter of 2005, the Company completed an acquisition
of two branches from Planters Bank and Trust Company of Virginia. Included in
the transaction was the purchase of approximately $8,831 in loans. This
accounted for close to one-half of the loan growth experienced during the first
quarter.
The volume of mortgage loans held for sale is directly related to
interest rate levels. Activity generally peaks during periods of low interest
rates, declining as interest rates rise. Period-end balances are not indicative
of volume, as loans are constantly being originated and sold. The balance shown
at period-end reflects only loans held by NBB for which there are purchase
commitments from investors, but which have not yet been funded. At March 31,
2005 there were approximately $1,591 in outstanding commitments to extend
mortgage loans.
Construction loans were $25,826 at March 31, 2005 and $25,009 at
December 31, 2004, an increase of $817. This category tends to fluctuate because
of demand and with the seasons. Demand may vary because of economic conditions.
Completion of construction projects generally occurs within one year, at which
time permanent financing through one of the Company's banking affiliates or
another lender is obtained. Loans for which the Company retains permanent
financing move into the commercial and industrial loan or mortgage loan
categories.
Real estate loans at March 31, 2005 were $116,983, which represents an

23


increase of $1,595 from December 31, 2004. Loans in this category are for
one-to-four family housing and are loans the banking affiliates elected to
retain rather than to sell on the secondary market.
Commercial and industrial loans were $260,980 at March 31, 2005, which
represents an increase of $12,457 from December 31, 2004. Included in this
category are loans for working capital, equipment, commercial real estate and
other loans for legitimate business needs. See Note 15 of the Company's 2004
Form 10-K for information related to "Concentrations of Credit". Historically,
growth in this category has been satisfactory, and based on present knowledge,
no adverse trends are anticipated.
Loans to individuals increased by $1,677 when March 31, 2005 is compared
to December 31, 2004. See the comments under "Net Interest Income". The increase
in this category is entirely attributable to acquisitions.
Total deposits at March 31, 2005 increased by $17,941 from December 31,
2004. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits increased by $13,039 when March 31,
2005 is compared to December 31, 2004. During the same period, interest-bearing
demand deposits increased by $318, while savings deposits declined by $2,928.
Time deposits increased by $7,512. The majority of the growth in deposits came
from the acquisition of the two Planters Bank and Trust branches in the first
quarter of 2005.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash provided by operating activities was $3,793 for the period
ended March 31, 2005, which compares to $4,534 for the same period the previous
year.

Derivatives

The Company is not a party to derivative financial instruments with
off-balance sheet risks such as futures, forwards, swaps and options. The
Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risks such as
commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and recourse
obligations in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its
customers. Management does not plan any future involvement in high- risk
derivative products. The Company has investments in collateralized mortgage
obligations, structured notes and other similar instruments that are included in
securities available for sale and securities held to maturity. The fair value of
these investments at March 31, 2005 was approximately $2,542. Amortized cost for
these securities was approximately $2,507.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company considers interest rate risk to be a significant market risk
and has systems in place to measure the exposure of net interest income to
adverse movement in interest rates. Interest rate shock analyses provides
management with an indication of potential economic loss due to future rate
changes. There have not been any changes which would significantly alter the
results disclosed as of December 31, 2004. (See "Interest Rate Sensitivity.")


Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of management,
including the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial
officer, the Company has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the
design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31,
2005. Based on that evaluation, the Company's principal executive officer and
principal financial officer have concluded that these controls and procedures
are effective to give reasonable assurance in alerting them in a timely fashion
to material information relating to the Company that is required to be included
in the reports the Company files under the Act. There were no changes in the
Company's internal controls over financial reporting during the period covered
by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Disclosure controls and procedures are the Company's controls and
procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed
by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is
accumulated and communicated to allow timely decisions regarding its required
disclosure. The Company believes that a controls system, no matter how well
designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that all control issues
have been detected.
