Exhibit 99.1

Message to Our Stockholders:
We are pleased to provide you with our 1st Quarter report for 2014.
National Bankshares, Inc. posted net income of $4.40 million, or basic net income per share of $0.63. The return on average assets for the first quarter was 1.61% and the return on average equity was 11.92% compared to 1.56% and 11.26%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2013. At March 31, 2014, the Company had total assets of $1.12 billion, an increase of 2.24% when compared to the end of the first quarter of 2013.
Total loans at quarter-end of $589.95 million were an increase of 2.45% from the total of $575.87 million at the end of March last year. We anticipate improving, though slow, economic activity in our market area, and we hope to build upon the momentum in our loan growth.
We recently concluded our Annual Meeting of Stockholders where we were able to report our strong earnings for 2013. During my remarks, I discussed the various challenges from having to keep so many “balls in the air” when it comes to delivering the very best in products and services while consistently putting into place and monitoring the appropriate regulatory compliance and technology securitymeasures. Additionally, we not only face competition from traditional banks but, each year, we deal with many new non-banking competitors such as Paypal and Bitcoin. Rest assured that our focus of providing a variety of financial products and delivery options with a personalized level of service is a proven success which we are committed to enhancing for our customers every day.
At the Annual Meeting, I announced that the National Bank Board of Directors had appointed Brad Denardo as the Bank’s President and CEO. Brad has played an important part in the Bank’s success for over 30 years, and I am confident that his banking experience, expertise and commitment along with his knowledge of our communities will ensure future success.
On behalf of your Company’s Board of Directors and our employees, we thank you, our stockholders, for your continued support and investment.
