PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

POCAHONTAS BANKSHARES CORPORATION

Pocahontas Bankshares Corporation ("Corporation" or "Registrant")
was organized under the laws of West Virginia in 1983 at the direction of
the Board of Directors of The First National Bank of Bluefield
("Bluefield"). On March 1, 1984, the effective date of the corporate
reorganization, the shareholders of Bluefield became the shareholders of
the Corporation, and Bluefield became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Corporation. On March 11, 1988, the Registrant acquired control of the
Bank of Oceana, Oceana, WV ("Oceana"). On May 24, 1991, the Registrant
formed First Century Bank, Roanoke, Virginia. During 1993, the main office
of First Century Bank was redesignated to Wytheville, Virginia. Effective
November 28, 1994, the merger of Bank of Oceana into The First National
Bank of Bluefield was completed and the name of the resulting entity was
changed to First Century Bank, National Association, with its main office
in Bluefield, West Virginia. Substantially, all of the operations of the
Corporation are carried on through its Bluefield subsidiary which serves as
the Registrant's lead bank. The officers and directors of the Corporation,
who are also officers and directors of the subsidiaries, receive their
entire compensation from the subsidiaries. The Corporation's executive
offices are located at 500 Federal Street, Bluefield, West Virginia.

The Registrant's principal business and major source of revenue
is, and is expected to remain, commercial banking. The Registrant
currently derives substantially all its revenues from dividends paid by the
subsidiary banks. Dividend payments by these subsidiaries are influenced
by the earnings, asset growth and current capital position of the
individual subsidiary. In addition, various regulatory agencies control
the payment of dividends. For additional information regarding the payment
of dividends, see Note 11 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements in the Registrant's 1995 Annual Report to the Stockholders
attached as Exhibit 13 to this report.

FIRST CENTURY BANK, N.A.

First Century Bank, N.A., a national banking association, was
organized and chartered in 1891 as The First National Bank of Bluefield,
under the laws of the State of West Virginia and the National Bank Act.
Bluefield offers customary banking services, including commercial, real
estate, installment, and other loans; interest-bearing and non-interest
bearing transaction accounts, savings and time deposit accounts including
certificates and other deposit accounts, featuring various maturities and
market rates; Individual Retirement Accounts; Visa and MasterCard services
under an arrangement with a correspondent bank; safe deposit facilities;
personal and corporate trust services; and various cash management
services. In addition to the main office, Bluefield currently operates
five additional branches in Mercer and Wyoming counties in southern West
Virginia.

As of December 31, 1995, Bluefield had 120 full-time employees
and 9 part-time employees. Bluefield is not a party to any collective
bargaining agreements, and, in the opinion of management, enjoys
satisfactory re lations with its employees.

FIRST CENTURY BANK

First Century Bank, Wytheville, Virginia ("Wytheville"), is a
state chartered bank organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of
Virginia. Wytheville offers customary banking services, including
commercial, real estate, installment, and other loans; interest-bearing and
non-interest bearing transaction accounts, savings and time deposit
accounts including certificates and other deposit accounts, featuring
various maturities and market rates; Individual Retirement Accounts; Visa
and MasterCard services under an arrangement with a correspondent bank;
safe deposit facilities; personal and corporate trust services; and various
cash management services. In addition to the main office, Wytheville
currently operates one additional branch.

As of December 31, 1995, Wytheville had 14 full-time employees
and 2 part-time employees. Wytheville is not a party to any collective
bargaining agreements, and, in the opinion of management, enjoys
satisfactory relations with its employees.

COMPETITION

Vigorous and intense competition exists in all areas where the
Registrant and its subsidiaries are engaged in business, generally from
other banks located in southern West Virginia and southwestern Virginia.
However, this competition is not only limited to other commercial banks.
The subsidiary banks also compete for certain lines of business with
savings and loan associations, mortgage companies, credit unions, consumer
finance companies, leasing companies, insurance companies, mutual funds and
brokerage firms. Significant competition also exists from state-wide
multi-bank holding companies located in West Virginia and Virginia, which
have offices in the communities the Registrant serves. These institutions
are larger in terms of capital, resources and personnel. This requires that
the Registrant place a high emphasis on quality service, with a significant
amount of personal attention, in order to effectively compete with these
larger institutions. Management feels that this competition is likely to
intensify in the future, as the so called "super-regionals" (such as
NationsBank and Banc One) continue to enter the markets in which the
Registrant currently operates.

FUTURE ACQUISITIONS AND EXPANSION

The Registrant may from time to time consider expansion of its
banking operations through acquisition of or formation of other banks
and/or bank related businesses.

SUPERVISION AND REGULATION

The Corporation is under the jurisdiction of the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission and the State of West Virginia's
Secretary of State with respect to matters relating to the offer and sale
of its securities and matters relating to reporting to such commissions and
to its shareholders.

The Corporation is a registered holding company under the Bank
Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and is regulated by the Federal
Reserve. As a bank holding company, the Corporation is required to file
with the Federal Reserve an Annual Report and such additional information
as the Federal Reserve may require pursuant to the Bank Holding Company
Act. The Federal Reserve may also conduct examinations of the Corporation
and each subsidiary. The Bank Holding Company Act requires every bank
holding company to obtain prior approval from the Federal Reserve before
acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of more than five percent
of the voting shares of any bank which is not already majority owned or
controlled by that bank holding company. The Federal Reserve is
prohibited, however, from approving the acquisition by the Corporation of
the voting shares of, or substantially all of the assets of, any bank
located outside West Virginia, unless such acquisition is specifically
authorized by the laws of the state in which the bank is located. Under
West Virginia law, the Corporation is authorized to acquire ownership or
control of additional banks in the state of West Virginia, provided, this
does not result in control of more than twenty percent (20%) of the total
deposits of all depository institutions in the state of West Virginia.
Acquisition of such additional banks would require ap proval from the
Federal Reserve and the Commissioner of Banking of the State of West
Virginia.

The Bank Holding Company Act further provides that the Federal
Reserve will not approve any acquisition, merger or consolidation (a) which
would result in a monopoly, (b) which would be in furtherance of any
combination or conspiracy to monopolize or attempt to monopolize the
business of banking at any part of the United States, (c) the effect of
which may be to substantially lessen competition or to tend to create a
monopoly in any section of the country or (d) which in any other manner
would be in restraint of trade, unless the anti-competitive effects of the
proposed transaction are clearly outweighed by the public interest in the
probable effect of the transaction meeting the convenience and needs of the
community to be served.

In addition to having the right to acquire ownership and control
of other banks, the Corporation is authorized to acquire ownership and
control of non-banking companies, provided the activities of such companies
are so closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks that the
Federal Reserve considers such activities to be proper to the operation and
control of banks. Regulation Y, promulgated by the Federal Reserve, sets
forth those activities which are regarded as closely related to banking or
managing or controlling banks and thus are permissible activities for bank
holding companies, subject to the approval by the Federal Reserve in
individual cases.

Subsidiary banks of a bank holding company are subject to certain
restrictions imposed by the Bank Holding Company Act on any extension of
credit to the bank holding company or any of its subsidiaries, on
investment in the stock or other securities thereof, and on the taking of
such stock or securities for loans to any borrower. Further, under Section
106 of the 1970 amendments to the Bank Holding Company Act and the
regulations of the Federal Reserve, a bank holding company through its
banking subsidiaries is prohibited from engaging in certain tie-in
arrangements in connection with any extension

4


of credit or provision of any property or services. The Federal Reserve
possesses cease and desist powers over bank holding companies and their
non-bank subsidiaries if their actions are unsafe or unsound practices or
violations of law.

Bluefield operates as a national banking association subject to
examination by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the
"Comptroller"). The Comptroller regulates all areas of a national bank's
operations, both commercial and trust, including loans, deposits, mergers,
branches, interest rates, and payments of dividends.

Bluefield, by means of its national charter, is also a member of
the Federal Reserve System, and as such, is affected by the monetary
policies of the Federal Reserve System which regulates the national money
supply in order to mitigate recessionary and inflationary pressures. The
instruments of monetary policy employed by the Federal Reserve include open
market operations in U. S. Government securities, changes in the reserve
requirement for member banks, and changes in the discount rate for member
bank borrowings.

In view of the changing conditions in the national economy and
the money markets, as well as, the effect of actions by monetary and fiscal
authorities, including the Federal Reserve, no prediction can be made as to
possible future changes in interest rates, deposit levels, loan demand of
the business and earnings of the Corporation or its subsidiaries.

Wytheville operates as an insured state non-member bank subject
to examination by the Bureau of Financial Institutions of the State
Corporation Commission of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The Bureau of
Financial Institutions regulates all areas of a state bank's operation,
both commercial and trust, including loans, deposits, mergers, branches,
interest rates and payment of dividends.

Both of the subsidiary banks are also insured and regulated by
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC"). The major function
of the FDIC with respect to insured member banks is to pay depositors to
the extent provided by law in the event an insured bank is closed without
adequately providing for payment of the claims of the depositors.

STATISTICAL DISCLOSURE

The statistical and other financial data disclosures required
pursuant to Guide 3 of the Preparation and Filing of Reports and
Registration Statements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 are
contained within Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations appearing on pages 3 through 15 of the
accompanying 1995 Annual Report to Stockholders, incorporated herein by
reference in this Form 10-K annual report as Exhibit 13.


ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

The offices of the Registrant are located at 500 Federal Street,
Bluefield, West Virginia. Principal properties owned or leased by the
subsidiary banks consist of modern single purpose facilities that house all
the amenities to comfortably conduct the full range of financial services
provided by the Registrant and its subsidiaries.

Bluefield holds title to seven pieces of real estate, including the
property and building at 500 Federal Street, the property and building at
516 Federal Street, formerly known as the "Ammar Building." These two
buildings, which are adjacent to each other, comprise a total of
approximately 45,000 square feet of space. The third property is located at
501 Federal Street, which comprises approximately 4,300 square feet of
interior space and approximately 10,200 square feet of real estate. The
fourth property is located at 519 Federal Street, and consists of
approximately 5,000 of interior space. These four properties accommodate
the main offices of both Bluefield and the Registrant.

Bluefield also holds title to three pieces of real estate in Wyoming
County, West Virginia. (1) The property and building that houses the office
in Oceana, located on State Route 10, Cook Parkway, Oceana, West Virginia.
This property consists of approximately 22,000 square feet, of which
approximately 6,500 square feet is interior space. (2) The property and
building that houses the Pineville office located on State Route 10,
Pineville, West Virginia. This property consists of approximately 18,000
square feet, of which approximately 3,000 square feet is interior space.
(3) Lots Number 22 and 23 Hedrick Addition which is currently used as an
employee parking lot for the Oceana main office. This property consists of
approximately 14,000 square feet, of which 5,500 square feet is paved.

In addition, Bluefield leases approximately 8,000 square feet at 200
Princeton Avenue, Bluefield, WV, in accordance with a renewable lease which
provides for an annual rent of $5,000. Bluefield also leases ap proximately
21,750 square feet

5


feet of space at 2020 College Avenue, Bluefield, WV, under a renewable
lease which currently requires a rental rate of $600 per month. Bluefield
also leases approximately 27,225 square feet of space at 1215-A Stafford
Drive, Princeton, WV. The current renewable lease provides for rent to be
paid at the rate of $14,000 per year with adjustments allowed at the end of
each five year period of the term. In addition, Bluefield also leases
approximately 10,000 square feet at 525 Federal Street, Bluefield, WV,
under a lease which has an annual rent of $19,200.

Wytheville holds title to two pieces of real estate. The property and
building located at 200 Peppers Ferry Road in Wytheville, Virginia houses
the main office and is comprised of approximately two acres of real estate
and approximately 6,200 square feet of interior space. Wytheville also
owns the property and building located on State Route 52 in Max Meadows,
Virginia, which is comprised of approximately one acre of real estate and
approximately 2,000 square feet of interior space and houses the Fort
Chiswell branch.


ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Neither the Registrant nor any of its subsidiaries are presently
involved in any material legal proceedings other than ordinary routine
litigation incidental to its business.

As a result of efforts to collect a delinquent loan, Bluefield filed
suit in the Circuit Court of Mercer County, Civil Action 85-C-847-B,
against Andrew L. Clark and William J. Sheppard involving their alleged
failure to pay equity into a townhouse project which was the subject of a
loan agreement with Mercer County, West Virginia, covering the issuance of
an industrial revenue bond in the principal sum of $1,000,000. Still
pending are certain counts of a counterclaim filed by Clark and Sheppard in
relation to the underlying case which was decided in Bluefield's favor.
Management and legal counsel feel strongly that the remaining counts of the
counterclaim filed by Clark and Sheppard are without merit.

As a result of efforts to collect delinquent loans, Oceana filed suit in
the Circuit Court of Wyoming County, Civil Action 90-C-152, against Michael
C. Crouch, d/b/a K&M Auto Sales. Crouch has filed a counterclaim seeking
$3,000,000 in damages against Oceana. The counterclaim purports fraudulent
acts and other wrong-doings relative to the payment and collection of these
loans. Management feels that this counterclaim is without merit and is
vigorously contesting this action.


ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

There were no matters submitted to security holders for a vote during
the fourth quarter ended December 31, 1995.


PART II


ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER
MATTERS

No established public market presently exists for the common stock of
the Registrant. Management does not expect that a more active trading
market will develop in the near future for the common stock of the
Registrant.

Page 13 of the 1995 Annual Report to Stockholders (incorporated herein
by reference) describes further the information for market, stockholders,
and dividends. The payment of dividends is subject to the restrictions
described in Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
