PART I

Item 1. Business

General. Subsequent to December 31, 1995, The Board of Directors of First
National Bank (the "Bank") approved a reorganization whereby a bank holding
company (FNB Corporation) was incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth
of Virginia. On June 11, 1996, the shareholders of the Bank approved a plan
for the holding company to exchange one share of its stock for each share of
stock of the Bank. A registration statement was filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) to register the stock of the holding company, and
such registration statement was subsequently declared effective by the SEC. On
July 11, 1996, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) approved the
plan, and the exchange was subsequently consummated. As a result, the Bank
became a wholly owned subsidiary of the holding company during the third
quarter of 1996, and the holding company began filing periodic reports under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Prior to the consummation of the
exchange, the Bank filed periodic reports with the OCC.

The financial statements included herein reflect the balances and activity of
the Bank and its subsidiaries for periods ending prior to the consummation of
the reorganization and of the holding company and its subsidiaries
(collectively, the "Corporation")for periods ending subsequent to the
reorganization. The exchange of stock was accounted for using the pooling of
interests method. That is, the bases of the assets and liabilities of the Bank
prior to the reorganization were carried forward without adjustment. Because
of this, and because the holding company's revenues, expenses and changes in
financial position subsequent to the reorganization have been minimal, the
consolidated financial statements for periods subsequent to the reorganization
are comparable to those for periods prior to the reorganization.

First National Bank, which was organized in 1905, does a general banking
business, serving the commercial, agricultural, and personal banking needs of
its trade territory, commonly referred to as the New River Valley, which
consists of Montgomery County, Virginia and portions of adjacent counties. The
Bank engages in and offers a full range of banking services, including trust
services; demand, savings, and time deposits used to fund the loan demand in
our trade area; commercial, farm, consumer installment, mortgage, credit card,
and SBA guaranteed loans.

Under national banking law, nontraditional activities of a bank must be
operated through a corporate subsidiary of the bank. During 1992, FNB formed
a wholly-owned subsidiary in order to expand its business operations. FNB
Financial Services, Inc. is a member of the Virginia Title Center, L.L.C. and
acts as an agent in the issuance of title insurance policies. Additionally,
this subsidiary has been licensed by the Commonwealth of Virginia to offer
annuity products through First National's Trust Department. Any reference in
this report to the operations of the Corporation shall include the activities
of FNB Financial Services, Inc.

The local economy is tied primarily to the area's three largest employers -
Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, with a student population
in excess of 23,000; Radford University, with a student population in excess of
9,000; and the Radford Arsenal, a large munitions plant operated under contract
to the U.S. Army by the Hercules Corporation. Other industries include a wide
variety of manufacturing concerns and agriculture-related enterprises. The
Bank's main office is located in Christianburg, the County Seat, with offices
strategically located to take advantage of its trade area's population mix. Of
the Bank's ten full service offices, eight are located in Montgomery County,
one in the City of Radford and one in the Town of Dublin. One paying and
receiving office is located in Montgomery County.

Refer to the Corporation's 1996 Annual Report to Stockholders under the heading
"Selected Consolidated Financial Information" for a five year summary of
selected consolidated financial information which is incorporated by reference
into this Form 10-K.

Construction of a new corporate headquarters facility was completed during the
first quarter of 1997.

Competition. The Corporation is the largest bank in the area, with
approximately 65 percent of those deposits held by independent banks. It is
estimated that the Corporation holds 37 percent of total deposits in its trade
area including the offices of those state-wide bank holding companies located
in our trade area. Competition in the trade area consists of five statewide
bank holding companies, one independent bank, two offices of a regional bank,
and five credit unions.

Loan Commitments. The portfolio is not concentrated within any single industry
or group of related industries, nor is there any material risk other than that
which is expected in the normal course of business of a bank in this location.
Corporation policy establishes lending limits for each officer. Loan requests
for amounts exceeding loan officer lending authority are referred to loan
committees, and unsecured requests in excess of $750,000 and secured requests
in excess of $1,500,000 are referred to the Executive Committee of the Board of
Directors. The following table relates outstanding loans for the dates
indicated (in thousands):


December 31,
1996 1995

Commercial $ 56,461 52,374
Consumer 62,906 61,888
Real estate - commercial 52,232 52,075
Real estate - construction 4,926 9,600
Real estate - mortgage 96,856 76,505
Total loans $ 273,381 252,442


The Corporation is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk
in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.
These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby
letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of
credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The
contract amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the
Corporation has in particular classes of financial instruments.

The Corporation's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the
other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and
standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those
instruments. The Corporation uses the same credit policies in making
commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet
instruments.

Unless noted otherwise, the Corporation does not require collateral or other
security to support the following financial instruments with credit risk (in
thousands):


December 31,
1996 1995
Contract Amounts
Financial instruments whose contract amounts
represent credit risk:

Commitments to extend credit $50,209 47,551
Standby letters of credit and
financial guarantees written 3,479 2,769



Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as
there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.

Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses
and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected
to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not
necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Corporation evaluates each
customer's credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral
obtained, if deemed necessary by the Corporation upon extension of credit, is
based on management's credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held
varies but may include securities, accounts receivable, inventory, property,
plant and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Corporation
to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees
are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements,
including commercial paper, bond financing, and similar transactions. The
credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as
that involved in extending loans to customers. Collateral held varies but may
include securities, accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and
equipment and income-producing commercial properties.

Deposit Concentrations. The Corporation's deposits are obtained from a wide
range of depositors. There are no material concentrations of deposits from any
individual or organization.

Employees. The Corporation had 185 full-time equivalent employees as of
December 31, 1996, of which 57 were officers.

individual strength of borrowers, the strength of the individual industries,
the value and marketability of collateral, specific market strengths and
weaknesses, and general economic conditions. Management believes that the
allowance for loan losses at December 31, 1996 is adequate to cover potential
loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio.

or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the
satisfaction of KPMG, would have caused the firm to make reference to such
disagreements in their report. McLeod & Company served as the Corporation's
