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 and six months ended June 30, 2003 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 2002 Annual Report to
Stockholders and additional information supplied in the 2002 Form 10-K.

Note (2) Stock-Based Compensation

        At June 30, 2003, the Company had a stock-based employee compensation
plan which is described more fully in the Company's Form 10-K dated December 31,
2002. 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.

Recent Accounting Announcements

        In April 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities. This Statement amends and clarifies financial accounting and
reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for
hedging activities under FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities. This Statement is effective for contracts
entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and is not expected to have an
impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

        In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of
both Liabilities and Equity. This Statement establishes standards for how an
issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with
characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer
classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an
asset in some circumstances). Many of those instruments were previously
classified as equity. This Statement is effective for financial instruments
entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the
beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, except for
mandatory redeemable financial instruments of nonpublic entities. Adoption of
the Statement did not result in an impact on the Company's consolidated
financial statements.

    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 2002 Annual Report and 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 either 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.

Allowance for Loan Losses

        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 estimatable 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 the
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

                                       17

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 $10,912 and $11,866
at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, did not constitute the acquisition
of a business, and therefore will continue to be amortized.


Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the Six Months
Ended June 30, 2003
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $5,433, which
represents an increase of $782 or 16.81% when compared to the same period in
2002. The annualized return on average assets for the six months ended June 30,
2003 was 1.58% and 1.46% for June 30, 2002. The annualized return on average
equity was 14.44% for the period ended June 30, 2003 and 13.86% for June 30,
2002.

        Basic earnings per share for the period ended June 30, 2003 was $1.55
and $1.32 in 2002 for the same period.


Net Interest Income

        Net interest income at the end of the second quarter of 2003 was
$14,138, an increase of $1,125 or 8.65% over the same period in 2002. Interest
income decreased $367 or 1.73%, when the periods ending June 30, 2003 and 2002
are compared. Interest expense decreased $1,492, or 18.14%, when the two periods
are compared. The yield on earning assets was 6.88%, decreasing 56 basis points
from June 30, 2002. The cost to fund earning assets for the period ending June
30, 2003 was 2.07% or a 66 basis point decrease from the same period in 2002.
This resulted in an increase in the net interest margin. Substantially lower
funding costs due to the low interest rate environment accounted for most of the
improvement in net interest income.

(1) Yield is on a tax equivalent basis.

        Risk factors and forward looking statements apply as discussed in the
Company's 2002 Form 10-K in the Security, Liquidity, Interest Rate Sensitivity,
Securities and Net Interest Income sections.

Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses

        The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is based on management's
judgement and analysis of current and historical loss experience, risk
characteristics of the loan portfolio, concentrations of credit and asset
quality, as well as other internal and external factors such as general economic
conditions.

        An internal credit review department performs pre-credit analyses of
large credits and also conducts credit review activities that provide management
with an early warning of asset quality deterioration. Changing trends in the
loan mix are also evaluated in determining the adequacy of the allowance for
loan losses.

        The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to loans net of unearned
income was 1.31% at June 30, 2003. This compares to 1.17% at June 30, 2002. The
provision for the first six months of 2003 was $842, down $1,192 over the same
period the prior year.

        While management continues to believe that overall credit quality
remains satisfactory, the level of exposure to loss has increased, particularly
in the loans to individuals category. In addition, much of the growth recently
experienced has been in the commercial loan category. While the number of
possible defaults would only constitute a small number of loans, the sizable
dollar amount of the individual credits tends to increase the possibility of
greater loss.

Noninterest Income

        Noninterest income is an important source of the Company's income. This
category is comprised of service charges on deposit accounts, other service
charges and fees, credit card fees, trust income and other income. Net
securities gains and losses are also included in this category. Noninterest
income for the period ending June 30, 2003 and 2002 was $2,873 and $2,915,
respectively, which represents a 1.44% decrease.

                                       19
                                     <PAGE>


        Service charges on deposit accounts increased to $1,173 or 6.25%, when
compared to the same period in 2002. A portion of this increase was due to
modifications in the terms of certain demand deposit products and the associated
service charges.

        Other service charges and fees increased $7 when June 30, 2003 and June
30, 2002 are compared.

        Credit card fees increased $111, or 16.25%. This increase was primarily
the result of an increased volume of merchant and interchange fees.

        Trust income increased by 5% in 2003, when compared to the first six
months of 2002. Trust income is dependent on market conditions as well as the
types of accounts being handled at any given point in time. The level of estate
business, for example, cannot be predicted with any degree of precision.

        Realized securities losses were $(4) for the first six months of 2003.
The net losses were primarily associated with the adjustment of the Company's
investment in certain limited liability companies. Previous year net gains were
associated with the sale of certain equity securities by Bankshares.

Noninterest Expense

        Noninterest expense for the period ended June 30, 2003 was $9,136, an
increase of $399 or 4.57%.

        Salaries and employee benefits increased by $322 or 7.25% when the
periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 are compared. Rising pension costs and
normal salary adjustments accounted for the majority of the increase.

        Occupancy expenses increased $8 when the first six months of 2003 and
2002 are compared. Equipment maintenance costs accounted for most of the
increase.

        Data processing costs decreased $45 or 7.68%. A decrease in depreciation
in data processing supplies and maintenance costs accounted for a majority of
the decline.

        Credit card processing increased $141 or 29.13% due to volume. As
previously noted credit card income was also up for the year because of volume
in the merchant and debit card areas.

        Intangibles expense for the first six months of 2003 and 2002 was $477.
There were no impairment write downs during the period.

        Other operating costs increased a by $78 or 4.34% when the periods June
30, 2003 and 2002 are compared.

Income Taxes

        In the second quarter of 2003, the Company's level of profits resulted
in an increase from 34% to 35% in the federal income tax rate applicable to the
Company. In addition to the actual taxes paid to the Government, this change
affects other areas including the book tax provisions, deferred taxes and tax
equivalency calculations.

Balance Sheet

        Total assets at June 30, 2003 were $707,381, an increase of $22,446 or
3.28% from period end assets at December 31, 2002. This increase was primarily
due to deposit growth, which was $17,576 or 2.89%.

                                       20
                                     <PAGE>

Securities

        Securities available for sale increased by 5.37%, while securities held
to maturity increased 4.86%. (Refer to the table previously presented for
portfolio composition.) Funds for these increases came primarily from deposit
growth.

Loans

        Loans net of unearned income grew by $8,665 or 2.12% from December 31,
2002. Since December 31, 2002, construction loans increased by $9,840 or 44.14%,
with real estate mortgage loans increasing $1,228 or 1.49%. The commercial loan
category grew by $1,962 or 0.94% due to demand. Loans to individuals declined by
$4,586 or 4.74%. It is not known to what extent loans to individuals will
ultimately decline or when growth in this area will resume, given the general
economic conditions. In addition, given the many financing alternatives
available to customers, it is unknown whether percentage of loans to individuals
to total loans will return to previous levels.

Deposits

        Total deposits increased $17,576 or 2.89% when June 30, 2003 and
December 31, 2002 are compared.

        Noninterest-bearing demand deposits increased $13,885 or 18.76% when
June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002 are compared. During the same period,
interest-bearing demand deposits increased by 1.48%, while savings deposits were
up 6.97%. Time deposits declined by $2,173 or 0.68%. As can be seen by this data
depositors continue to gravitate toward the more liquid short-term deposit
instruments. This trend is expected to continue until rising rates make longer
term time deposits a more attractive investment.

Daily Averages

        Daily averages for the major categories are as follows:

     (000's) June 30, 2003 December 31,2002
                                        -------------------- -------------------

Stockholders' equity                           75,849               69,895

Liquidity

        Liquidity is the ability to provide sufficient cash levels to meet
financial commitments and to fund loan demand and deposit withdrawals.

        Cash from operating activities was $6,619. The primary sources were net
income and net sales of real estate loans held for sale.

        Cash used in investing activities was $19,369. As can be seen from the
cash flow statement, the principal use of cash was for securities.

        Financing activities during the period produced $15,481 in cash, mainly
due to an increase in deposits.

        Management is not aware of any commitments that will result in, or are
likely to result in, a material and adverse impact on liquidity.

Capital Resources

        Total stockholders' equity increased by $5,370 from December 31, 2002 to
June 30, 2003. Of that change, $1,805 was due to the change in accumulated
comprehensive income. Net income of $5,433 accounted for most of the increase,
offset by a dividend to shareholders in the amount of $1,897. The Company's risk
based capital ratios at June 30, 2003 are as follows.

                  Total capital                  14.11%
                  Tier I                         13.00%
                  Leverage ratio                  9.34%

     The Company's banking affiliates continue to meet the regulatory criteria
for well capitalized.


Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the Three Months
Ended June 30, 2003
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


        Net income for the second quarter of 2003 was $2,801 an increase of $254
or 9.97% over the same period in 2002. The return on average assets for the
three months ended June 30, 2003 was 1.60%, which compared to 1.58% for the same
quarter in 2002. The return on average equity for the second quarter of 2003 was
14.57%, a slight decrease from 2002, when the return or average equity was
14.92%.


Net Interest Income

        Net interest income for the second quarter of 2003 was $7,140 an
increase of 6.81% over the same period in 2002. Previously established trends
continued during the second quarter due to the continued low interest rate
environment. Higher rate earning assets continued to mature and/or reprice and
move into lower rate earning assets. At the same time interest bearing
liabilities also continued to mature and/or reprice into liabilities with lower
rates. The net interest margin for the second quarter of 2003 was 4.72% compared
to 4.78% for the same period in 2002.

Provision for Loan Losses

        The provision for loan losses for the second quarter of 2003 was $402 a
decrease of $144 from the second quarter of 2002.

        Management continues to expect net charge-off levels to be higher in
2003, particularly in the area of loans to individuals.

Noninterest Income

        Service charges for the second quarter were up $78 when compared to the
second quarter of 2002. During the second quarter the Company made certain
modifications to its demand deposit products that have so far resulted in an
increase in service charge income. It is not known whether this level of income
will be sustainable, as the ongoing acceptance of product changes by the
Company's customer base is as yet uncertain.

Other Service Charges

        This category shows a decline of $13 when compared to the same quarter
in 2002. This category is comprised of various miscellaneous types of income
which vary from period to period.

                                       22
                                     <PAGE>

Credit Card Income

        Credit Card income for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 was $448 an
increase of $70 or 18.52%. The majority of the increase was due to the volume of
business in merchant and debit cards.

Trust Income

        Trust income increased by $4 or 1.66% when the second quarter of 2003
and 2002 are compared. Trust income varies due to the nature of the business.
Estate income, for example, is unpredictable. Market values of trust assets
which can vary widely also affect the level of income.
Realized Gains or Losses on Securities

        Net Securities gains were $5 in the second quarter of 2003. In 2002 the
Company sold certain stock owned by Bankshares for a substantial gain, resulting
in $185 in net gains for that quarter.

Salaries and Wages

        Salaries and Wages are up $144 or 6.5% when the second quarter of 2003
and 2002 are compared. As previously mentioned, rising pension costs and normal
salary reviews accounted for most of the increase.

Other Expense

        Other expenses including occupancy, data processing, and other expense
normally fluctuate to a degree. Credit Card Processing expenses were up $111 due
primarily to increase in volume related to merchant and debit cards.

Following are quarterly averages for selected categories:

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

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 June 30, 2003 was approximately $3,577. Amortized cost for
these securities was approximately $3,472.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

        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, 2002.


Item 4.   Controls and Procedures

        Under the supervision and with the participation of management,
including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we
have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal
