Meeting of May 12, 1998, are incorporated into Part III hereof.

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, FHA 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 Christiansburg, 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 1997 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 and multi-state bank holding
companies located in our trade area. Competition in the trade area consists of
seven state-wide and multi-state 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 the
officer loan committee which can approve loans up to 80% of the bank's legal
lending limit. Loan requests exceeding this limit 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,
1997 1996

Commercial $ 64,247 56,461
Consumer 66,059 62,906
Real estate - commercial 56,404 52,232
Real estate - construction 8,657 4,926
Real estate - mortgage 95,703 96,856
Total loans $ 291,070 273,381


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,
1997 1996
Contract Amounts
Financial instruments whose contract amounts
represent credit risk:

Commitments to extend credit $ 63,194 50,209
Standby letters of credit and
financial guarantees written 4,300 3,479


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 204 full-time equivalent employees as of
December 31, 1997, of which 63 were officers.

are generally placed on nonaccrual status when the collection of principal or
interest is 90 days or more past due, unless the obligation is both
well-secured and in the process of collection. Pro forma interest represents
the amount of interest that would have been recorded if the loans had been
current in accordance with their original terms.

Management continually reviews the loan portfolio for signs of deterioration.
In making their evaluation of the portfolio, factors considered include the
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, 1997 is adequate to cover potential
loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio.
