Item 2
- ------

     On May  31, 1996, at  11:59 P.M.,  National Bankshares, Inc.  (NBI) of
Blacksburg, Virginia,  parent company of  The National Bank  of Blacksburg,
consummated  a  transaction  with the  Bank  of  Tazewell  County (BTC)  of
Tazewell,  Virginia, in which  NBI Interim Bank  (a bank organized  for the
sole purpose of  the transaction and a wholly owned  subsidiary of NBI) was
merged  into BTC  and BTC  as the  surviving entity  became a  wholly owned
subsidiary of NBI.  BTC is a Virginia state bank headquartered in Tazewell,
Virginia with seven offices.

     Pursuant  to the Agreement and  Plan of Merger  dated August 28, 1995,
between  NBI and  BTC (Plan),  each share  of the  1,888,209 shares  of the
common stock ($1.10 par value) of  BTC outstanding immediately prior to the
merger  was converted  into the right  to receive  one share  of the common
stock ($2.50  par value)  of NBI (NBI  Common Stock).   The merger  met the
requirements  for a tax-free transaction under the Internal Revenue Code of
1986,  as amended, and will be accounted  for as a pooling-of-interest.  As
provided in the Plan,   NBI effected a stock  split in the form of  a stock
dividend aggregating 190,768 shares of NBI Common Stock for stockholders of
record  at the  closing of business  on May  30, 1996, payable  on June 14,
1996.  The exchange ratio provided  for in the plan took into consideration
the NBI stock split.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
                          ----------------------------


To the Board of Directors
Bank of Tazewell County
Tazewell, Virginia

    We  have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Bank of Tazewell County
as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related statements of income, changes
in  stockholders' equity,  and cash  flows  for the  years then  ended.   These
financial  statements are  the responsibility  of the  Bank's management.   Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on  these financial statements based on
our audits.

    We conducted  our audits  in  accordance with  generally accepted  auditing
standards.   Those  standards require  that we  plan and  perform the  audit to
obtain  reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on  a test basis, evidence
supporting the  amounts and disclosures in the  financial statements.  An audit
also  includes  assessing  the  accounting  principles  used  and   significant
estimates  made  by management,  as well  as  evaluating the  overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that  our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

    In our opinion,  the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all  material respects, the financial position of Bank of Tazewell County as
of December 31,  1995 and 1994, and the results of  its operations and its cash
flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

    As  discussed in  Note  1  and 11  to  the  financial statements,  Bank  of
Tazewell  County adopted the  provisions of  Statement of  Financial Accounting
Standards No.'s 114 and 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan"
as of January 1, 1995.

                            BANK OF TAZEWELL COUNTY
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                     YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1994


($ in thousands)

 1. The  significant accounting  policies  of Bank  of  Tazewell County  are as
    follows: (Continued)

    Organization
    ============

    The Bank of Tazewell  County is a state bank located in  Tazewell, Virginia
    with  branches  in  Bluefield,  Virginia.    The  majority  of  the  Bank's
    operations are conducted within Tazewell County.

    Investments in Securities

    The Bank's investments in securities  are classified in two  categories and
    accounted for as follows.

      Securities to be Held to Maturity
      ---------------------------------

      Bonds, notes and  debentures for which the  bank has the  positive intent
      and ability  to  hold to  maturity  are reported  at cost,  adjusted  for
      amortization of premiums, and accretion of discounts which are recognized
      in interest income using the interest method over the period to maturity.

      Securities Available for Sale
      -----------------------------

      Securities available for  sale consist  of bonds, notes,  debentures, and
      certain  equity securities  not classified  as securities  to be  held to
      maturity.

    Declines in  the fair  value of  individual held-to-maturity and  available
    for sale securities  below their cost  that are other  than temporary  have
    resulted in write-downs of the  individual securities to their  fair value.
    The related write-downs have been included in earnings as realized losses.

    Unrealized holding  gains and losses, net  of tax,  on securities available
    for  sale  are  reported  as a  net  amount  in  a  separate  component  of
    shareholders' equity until realized.

    Gains  and  losses  on  the  sale  of  securities available  for  sale  are
    determined using the specific-identification method.

    Loans
    =====

    Loans are  stated  at  the  amount  of unpaid  principal,  reduced  by  any
    unearned discount  included and an allowance  for credit  losses.  Interest
    income on commercial and real  estate loans is credited to operations based
    upon  the principal  amount outstanding.   Interest  income on  installment
    loans is accrued  and credited to operating income on the sum-of-the-digits
    method over the  life of each loan.  Accrual of interest is discontinued on

                                      -21-


    a loan when  management believes, after considering  economic and  business
    conditions and collection efforts, that the  borrower's financial condition
    is such that collection of interest is doubtful.

    Allowance for Loan Losses
    =========================

    The allowance is maintained at a level adequate to absorb  probable losses.
    Management determines the adequacy of  the allowance based upon  reviews of
    individual credits,  recent loss  experience, current  economic conditions,
    the risk  characteristics of  the various  categories of  loans, and  other
    pertinent  factors.    Credits  deemed  uncollectible are  charged  to  the
    allowance.    Provisions   for  credit  losses  and   recoveries  on  loans
    previously charged off are added to the allowance.

    Bank Premises and Equipment
    ===========================

    Land is  stated at cost.   Bank premises and equipment  are stated at cost,
    less accumulated  depreciation.  Depreciation  is computed on the  straight
    line and declining  balance methods over  the useful  lives of the  assets,
    which range from five to  forty years.  The costs of major improvements are
    capitalized.  The expenditures for  maintenance and repairs are  charged to
    expense as  incurred.  Gains or losses on assets sold are included in other
    operating  income and  appropriate adjustments are  made to the accumulated
    depreciation account.

    Income Taxes
    ============

    Provisions  for income taxes are based on amounts reported in the statement
    of income (after  exclusion of non-taxable income such as interest on state
    and  municipal  securities)   and  include  deferred  taxes   on  temporary
    differences in the recognition of income and expense  for tax and financial
    statement purposes.   Deferred tax assets  and liabilities  are included in
    the financial statements at  currently enacted income tax  rates applicable
    to  the period  in  which  the  deferred  tax assets  and  liabilities  are
    expected to  be  realized  or  settled  as  prescribed  in  SFAS  No.  109,
    Accounting for Income Taxes.  As changes in tax laws or rates  are enacted,
    deferred tax assets  and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for
    income taxes.

    Pension Costs
    =============

    The  Bank maintains  a  noncontributory,  trusteed  pension  plan  for  the
    benefit   of  eligible   employees   meeting   certain  service   and   age
    requirements.   It  is the  Bank's  policy to  fund accrued  pension  cost.
    Prior service costs are being amortized over ten years.

    Trust Assets and Income
    =======================

    Assets held by  Bank of Tazewell County  in a fiduciary or  agency capacity
    for its customers  are not included in the  Balance Sheets since such items
    are  not assets of the Bank.  Trust Department  income is recognized on the
    cash  basis  of  accounting  which  in  this  instance  is  not  materially
    different from reporting on the accrual basis of accounting.

                                      -22-


    Cash Equivalents
    ================

    For purposes  of  the Statements  of  Cash Flows,  the Bank  considers  all
    highly liquid  debt instruments purchased with  a maturity  of three months
    or less to be cash equivalents.

    Fair Values of Financial Instruments
    ====================================

    The  following methods and assumptions were used  by the Bank in estimating
    fair values of financial instruments as disclosed herein:


      Cash and Cash Equivalents
      -------------------------

      The carrying amounts of cash and short-term instruments approximate their
      fair value.

      Securities to be Held to Maturity and Securities Available for Sale
      -------------------------------------------------------------------

      Fair  values  for  investment  securities,  excluding  restricted  equity
      securities,  are based on quoted  market prices.   The carrying values of
      restricted equity securities approximate fair values.

      Loans Receivable
      ----------------

      For variable rate  loans that reprice frequently and with  no significant
      change in  credit risk, fair values  are based on  carrying values.  Fair
      values  for  real  estate   and  commercial  loans  are  estimated  using
      discounted  cash  flow analyses,  using  interest  rates  currently being
      offered  for loans  with  similar  terms to  borrower of  similar  credit
      quality.  Fair  values for impaired loans are estimated  using discounted
      cash flow analyses or underlying collateral values, where applicable.

      Deposit Liabilities
      -------------------

      The fair values  disclosed for demand deposits are, by  definition, equal
      to the  amount payable on demand  at the reporting  date (that  is, their
      carrying  amounts).   The carrying  amounts of  variable-rate, fixed-term
      money market accounts and certificates of deposit approximate their  fair
      values at the reporting date.  Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of
      deposit  are estimated  using  a  discounted cash  flow  calculation that
      applies  interest rates  currently being  offered  on  certificates to  a
      schedule of aggregated expected monthly securities on time deposits.

 2. Restrictions on Cash and Due from Bank Accounts:

    The  Bank  is required  to  maintain an  average reserve  balance  with the
    Federal  Reserve Bank.    The average  amount  of the  reserve balance  was
    approximately $148 at December 31, 1995 and 1994.




                                      -23-


 3. Investment Securities:

    The  carrying amounts  of  investment securities  as  shown in  the balance
    sheets of the  Bank and their approximate fair  values at December 31, were
    as follows:

                                          Gross       Gross

 8. Pension Plan:

    The  Bank has a defined benefit pension  plan covering substantially all of
    its  employees.     The  plan  provides  normal,  early,  late,  death  and
    disability  retirement   benefits  based  on   an  average  of   qualifying
    compensation for  the highest  five consecutive  calendar years,  excluding
    the year  of determination.   The Bank's  policy is to  contribute annually
    the maximum  amount that can be  deducted for federal  income tax purposes.
    Contributions are intended to provide  not only for benefits  attributed to
    service to date but,  also for  those expected to  be earned.   Actuarially
    determined contributions  of the  Pension Plan were  $225 and $203  in 1995
    and 1994 respectively.

    The Bank  accounts  for  pension  costs  by  use  of  Financial  Accounting
    Standard  No.  87,  "Employers'  Accounting  for  Pensions"  and   No.  88,
    "Employers' Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments  of Defined Benefit
    Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits."

    The  discount rate used  was 8% for 1995  and 7% for  1994 and  the rate of
    increase  in  future  compensation  levels  used was  5%  in  each  year in
    determining   the  actuarial  present   value  of   the  projected  benefit
    obligation.   The expected  long-term rate of  return on  the Plan's assets
    was 8% for 1995, and 7.5% for 1994.

    The Bank has determined that  a valuation allowance for the gross  deferred
    tax assets is not necessary at December 31,  1994 due to the fact that  the
    realization of  the entire gross  deferred tax  assets can be  supported by
    the  amount of  taxes  paid during  the  carryback period  available  under
    current tax laws.



    Total income taxes were allocated as follows:

10. Related Party Transactions:

    Officers and  directors  are  loan customers  in  the  ordinary  course  of
    business.  These  loans are made on  substantially the same terms  as those
    prevailing at the time  for comparable loans with other persons and  do not
    involve  more  than   normal  risk  of  collectibility  or   present  other
    unfavorable features.    These  loans amounted  to  $2,283  and  $2,115  at
    December 31, 1995 and 1994 respectively.

11. Impaired Loans and Nonperforming Assets:

    As  of December  31, 1995,  the recorded  investment in  impaired loans was
    $298 and there was  no related amount of interest  income recognized during
    the time within that period that the loans were impaired.

    assets:

    Bank  of  Tazewell  County  does  not  have  a  written  nonacrual  policy.
    Management  continually  reviews  loans  past  due  and places  a  loan  on
    nonaccrual when,  in the judgment  of management, it is  doubtful that full
    principal and  interest  will  be collected.    Management  consider's  the
    situation of  the borrower,  the loans  collateral and  secured status  and
    other pertinent matters.

    At December  31, 1995,  the recorded  investment in  loans which have  been
    identified as  impaired loans,  in accordance  with Statement of  Financial
    Accounting Standards (SFAS)  No. 114, totaled  $298.   Of this amount,  $43
    related to  loans with no  valuation allowance, and  $255 related  to loans
    with a corresponding valuation allowance of $100.   The initial adoption to
    SFAS No. 114 did not  require an increase to the Bank's allowance for  loan
    losses.

    The  following table  shows the  interest that  would  have been  earned on
    nonaccrual and  restructured loans  if they had been  current in accordance
    with their  original terms and  the recorded interest  that was earned  and
    included in income on these loans:

    Other real  estate,  acquired  through  foreclosure  or  deed  in  lieu  of
    foreclosure,  is carried  at the  lower of  the recorded  investment or its
    fair value, less  estimated costs to sell  (net realized value.)   When the
    property is  acquired, any excess of  the loan balance  over net realizable
    value is charged to  the allowance for loan losses.  Increases or decreases
    in the net  realizable value of such properties  are credited or charged to
    income by  adjusting the valuation allowance  for other  real estate owned.
    Net  costs of maintaining or  operating foreclosed  properties are expensed
    as incurred.

12. Contingent Liabilities and Commitments:

    The Bank's  financial statements  do not  reflect  various commitments  and
    contingent liabilities  that arise  in the  normal course  of business  and
    that involve  elements of  credit risk,  interest rate  risk and  liquidity
    risk.   These  commitments  and contingent  liabilities are  commitments to
    extend  credit,  commercial  letters  of  credit,  and  standby  letters of
    credit.  A summary of the Bank's commitments and contingent  liabilities at
    December 31, 1995, is as follows:

                                                      Notional
                                                       Amount
                                                      --------

     Commitments to extend credit                      $4,094              
     Standby letters of credit                             35              

    Commitments  to extend credit,  commercial letters  of credit,  and standby
    letters of credit all include exposure to  some credit loss in the event of
    nonperformance of the  customer.  The Bank's credit policies and procedures
    for  credit commitments and financial guarantees  are the same as those for
    extension of  credit that  are  recorded on  the balance  sheets.   Because
    these  instruments have  fixed  maturity dates,  and  because many  of them
    expire without  being  drawn  upon,  they  do  not  generally  present  any
    significant liquidity  risk to  the Bank.   The Bank  has not incurred  any
    losses on its commitments in either 1995 or 1994.

13. Rental Expense:

    The  Bank  leases  its  Westgate branch  facility  under  a  noncancellable
    agreement which expires September  19, 2003, with an annual rental  of $13.
    The total minimum rental commitment at December 31, 1995, under  this lease
    is $101 which is due as follows:

    Fair value  estimates  are made  at a  specific  point  in time,  based  on
    relevant   market  information   and   information   about  the   financial
    instrument.  These estimates  do not reflect any  premium or discount  that
    could result from offering for sale at  one time Bank of Tazewell  County's
    entire holdings  of a particular financial  instrument.   Because no market
    exists for a  significant portion of  Bank of  Tazewell County's  financial
    instruments,  fair   value  estimates  are  based  on  judgements.    These
    estimates are subjective  in nature and involve  uncertainties and  matters
    of  significant   judgement  and  therefore   cannot  be  determined   with
    precision.    Changes  in  assumptions  could  significantly  affect  these
    estimates.

                                      -32-


    Fair  value estimates  are  based  on  existing  on-and-off  balance  sheet
    financial  instruments  without   attempting  to  estimate  the   value  of
    anticipated future  business and the value  of assets  and liabilities that
    are not  considered financial instruments.  A significant asset that is not
    considered a financial asset  is bank premises and equipment.  In addition,
    the tax  ramifications related to the  realization of  the unrealized gains
    and losses can  have a significant effect on  fair value estimates and have
    not been considered in the estimates.

15. Concentrations of Credit:

    All of  the Bank's loans, commitments,  and commercial  and standby letters
    of  credit have  been granted primarily  to customers in  the Bank's market
    area.   Essentially all  such customers are  depositors of  the Bank.   The
    concentrations of  credit by type  of loan are  set forth  in Note 4.   The
    distribution of commitments to extend credit  approximates the distribution
    of loans  outstanding.   Commercial  and  standby  letters of  credit  were
    granted  primarily to  commercial borrowers.    The Bank,  as  a matter  of
    policy, does not  extend credit to any single  borrower or group of related
    borrowers in excess of the Bank's legal lending limit.

16. Time Deposits:

    Included in  time  deposits are  certificates  of  deposit and  other  time
    deposits  of $100,000  or  more in  the aggregate  amounts  of $21,769  and
    $25,371 at December 31, 1995 and 1994 respectively.

17. Supplemental Cash Flow Information:

    The  Bank paid  $5,870  and $5,023  for interest  and  $856 and  $1,000 for
    income taxes, net  of refunds, at December 31,  1995 and 1994 respectively.
    Noncash investing  activities  consisted of  $7  and  13 of  loans  charged
    against the allowance  for loan losses for  the periods ended  December 31,
    1995 and 1994 respectively, and $2,715 of net  unrealized gains included in
    securities available for  sale for the period  ended December 31, 1995  and
    $2,462 net  unrealized loss included in  securities available  for sale for
    the period  ended December 31, 1994.  Noncash investing activities also did
    not include any foreclosed loans  transferred into other real  estate owned
    for the period ended December 31, 1995  as compared to $31 transferred  for
    the period ended December 31, 1994.

                    NOTES TO PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION


(1) The pro  forma information presented is  not necessarily  indicative of the
    results of  operations or the combined  financial position  that would have
    resulted had the Merger  been consummated at the  beginning of the  periods
    indicated, nor  is it necessarily indicative  of the  results of operations
    in future  periods  or  the  future  financial  position  of  the  combined
    entities.

(2) It is assumed  the Merger will be  accounted for on  a pooling-of-interests
    accounting  basis  and,  accordingly, the  related  pro  forma  adjustments
    herein reflect the  exchange of  one share of common  stock of NBI  for one
    share of common stock  of BTC.  It is also assumed  that NBI will issue the
    NBI  shares resulting  from  the  NBI  Stock  Split of  0.11129  per  share
    effected in the  form of  a stock  dividend to  the holders  of NBI  common
    stock just prior to  the Merger Effective Date  to facilitate the  one-for-
    one Common Stock Exchange Ratio.

(3) Stockholders'  equity was adjusted  for the  Merger by the  (i) addition of
    1,888,209  shares of  NBI  common stock  of  $2.50 par  value amounting  to
    $4,720,522; (ii) elimination  of 1,888,209 shares  of BTC  Common Stock  of
    $1.10 par  value  amounting to  2,077,029,  and  (iii) recordation  of  the
    remaining amount  of $2,643,493 as a  decrease in  surplus ($2,521,493) and
    undivided profits ($122,000) at March 31, 1996.

(4) Stockholders' equity  was also adjusted to  reflect the NBI  Stock Split of
    0.11129 per share  by (i) increasing  NBI common stock  $476,920; and  (ii)
    decreasing surplus  $476,920 the par value  of the stock ($2.50  per share)
    at March 31, 1996.

(5) NBI Interim has been  formed to facilitate the Merger.  NBI  has subscribed
    to 2,000  shares of  common stock  ($1,000 par  value) of  NBI Interim  for
    $4,000,000  ($2,000,000  in common  stock and  $2,000,000 in  surplus), and
    this subscription is  represented by  a stock subscription  receivable from
    NBI (parent company only).   The pro forma balance sheet adjustments do not
    reflect  the   stock  subscription   receivable  of   $4,000,000  and   the
    simultaneous elimination of same to arrive at pro forma combined.

(6) Pro forma  income per  common share  data has  been computed  based on  the
    combined  historical   income  before  cumulative   effect  of  change   in
    accounting principle and  nonrecurring changes related to the merger of NBI
    and BTC using  the historical weighted  average shares  outstanding of  NBI
    common stock giving  effect to the 0.11129  per share NBI Stock  Split (see
    Note  7) and  the  historical weighted  average  outstanding shares  of BTC
    common stock, adjusted to equivalent shares of NBI common stock, as of  the
    earliest period presented.

(7) NBI historical  income per common share  data adjusted for  stock split has
    been computed  giving effect to  the NBI Stock  Split of 0.11129 per  share
    effected in the  form of  a stock dividend  to be declared  and issued  pro
    rata  to holders of  NBI common  stock just  prior to the  Merger Effective
    Date to facilitate the one-for-one Common Stock Exchange Ratio.

(8) Certain reclassifications  have been included  herein to conform  statement
    presentations.   There  are no  intercompany transactions  between NBI  and
    BTC, and therefore no intercompany eliminations are required.


                                      -39-


(9) For the three months  ended March 31, 1996, and for the year ended December
    31,  1995,   nonrecurring  merger   expenses  of   $24,000  and   $268,000,
    respectively, have  been included  in the  historical income  statements of
    NBI and  BTC and  these merger charges  have not been  included in  the pro
    forma combined condensed statements of  income before cumulative effect  of
    change  in accounting  principle and  nonrecurring charges  related to  the
    merger.   Additional  expenses  of  $104,000  related  to  the  merger  are
    expected to be incurred after March 31, 1996.
