NOTE 5    COMMON STOCK:

            On December 12, 2001, the Board of Directors approved a 2 for 1
         stock split to shareholders of record on January 1, 2002 by reducing
         the par value of common stock from $4 to $2 per share. This split
         resulted in an additional 3,000,000 shares of stock outstanding.


NOTE 6    EARNINGS PER SHARE:

            The weighted average shares outstanding used for the calculation of
          earnings per share has been adjusted to reflect the 2 for 1 stock
          split that was effective January 1, 2002. Diluted earnings per share
          has been calculated for the current quarter to reflect the dilutive
          effect of the 256,000 exercisable outstanding options granted to
          employees and directors of the Bank. The dilution calculation assumes
          that all options  were  exercised at the beginning of the period
          and that the proceeds were used to purchase common stock at the
          average market price during the period.

Item 2 Management's   Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial   Condition  and
       Results of Operations


Overview

     On September 27, 2001, the shareholders of the New Peoples Bank, Inc.
approved a plan of reorganization under which the shareholders of the Bank
exchanged their common stock for common stock in New Peoples Bankshares Inc. On
November 30, 2001, the reorganization was completed and the Bank became a wholly
owned subsidiary of New Peoples Bankshares. The accompanying financial
information reflects the transactions of the Bank for the period ended March 31,
2001 and the consolidated transactions of the Company and the Bank for the
period ended March 31, 2002.

    The Bank opened for business on October 28, 1998 and has achieved
outstanding growth. As of March 31, 2002, the Bank had total deposits of
$205,324,280 and total loans of $189,762,727.

    The Company's net income for the three months ended March 31, 2002 was
$579,102 compared with income of $189,665 for the three months ended March 31,
2001. Net income per share was $.10 compared with $.03 for the prior period.

    For the foreseeable future, management will continue its strategy of
providing personal and customized financial services to individuals, small to
medium size businesses and the professional community. The Bank will strive to
serve the banking needs of its customers by developing personal, hometown
relationships.

Net Interest Margin

     The net interest margin on earning assets was 4.86% for the quarter ended
March 31, 2002 and 3.88% for the first three months of 2001. Interest rates were
lower during the first three months of 2002 compared with the same period in
2001 in response to interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve bank. The average
yield on earning assets decreased 114 basis points and the average cost of funds
decreased 262 basis points resulting in the increase in the net interest margin.
Because of a strong loan demand, the Company was able to maintain the yield on
loans of 8.46% during the current period compared with 9.61% for the prior
period. The Bank continues to offer attractive loan and deposit rates in order
to attract new customers. Table I shows the rates paid on earning assets and
deposit liabilities.

Provision for Loan Losses

     The provision for loan losses for the first three months of 2002 was
$130,000 compared with $159,000 for the same period of 2001. Loan charge-offs
for the first three months of 2002 were $47,978 and recoveries were $23,278
resulting in an allowance for loan losses of $1,898,150 (approximately 1% of
total loans).

     The calculation of the allowance for loan losses is considered a critical
accounting policy. For each period presented, the provision for loan losses
charged to operations is based on management's judgment after taking into
consideration all factors connected with the collectibility of the existing
portfolio. Management evaluates the loan portfolio in light of economic
conditions, changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio, industry
historical experience, adverse situations that may affect the borrowers ability
to repay and other relevant factors. Specific factors considered by management
in determining the amounts charged to operations include internally generated
loan review reports, past due reports and industry historical loan loss
experience. This review also considers concentrations of loans in terms of
geography, business type or level of risk. Management evaluates nonperforming
loans relative to their collateral value and makes appropriate adjustments to
the allowance for loan losses when needed. This evaluation is inherently
subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision
as more information becomes available.


 9


Provision for Loan Losses (Continued)

  Since the Bank is relatively new and the loan portfolio is not mature,
industry historical  loss  percentages  established  by the  regulatory
authorities are used when calculating the allowance. As the loan portfolio
matures, a loss rate specific to this Bank will emerge and these loss
percentages will be applied to the loan portfolio. This will result in a more
accurate allowance for loan loss calculation that is tailored to reflect the
risk associated with the Bank's loan portfolio.

Noninterest Income

    Noninterest income increased from $128,070 in the first three months of 2001
to $298,536 in the first three months of 2002. Part of the increase is due to
income of $105,408 on the life insurance agreements entered into in December of
2001. The remaining increase in service charges, fees and commissions is
consistent with the growth in average assets of the Bank.

    Noninterest income as a percentage  (annualized) of average assets
increased from .31% for the first quarter of 2001 to .54% for the first three
months of 2002.

Noninterest Expense

    Noninterest expense increased from $1,181,721 in the first quarter of 2001
to $1,693,698 in the first three months of 2002. The increase was due to
additional staffing and expenses associated with the new branches opened and the
general growth in operations. Noninterest expenses as a percentage (annualized)
of average assets increased from 2.87% for the first three months of 2001 to
3.06% for the first three months of 2002.

Bank Premises

    At December 31, 2001, the Bank had full service branches in Honaker, Weber
City, Castlewood, Haysi, Pounding Mill and Lebanon, Virginia and Princeton, West
Virginia. The Bank also had loan production offices in Norton, Clintwood, and
Abingdon, Virginia.

     On January 3, 2002, the bank opened a branch in Gate City, Virginia. The
branch is a 3,600 square foot brick building situated on a one acre lot. It
contains a full service branch with two drive-thru lanes and an ATM. The branch
is located at 326 East Jackson Street, Gate City, Virginia 24251.

    Land has been purchased and construction has begun for a full service branch
in Clintwood, Virginia which will replace the current loan production office.
Estimated costs are $475,000 for premises and $200,000 for furniture and
equipment. The projected opening date is May 15, 2002.

    Property that includes a former bank building has been purchased in
Tazewell, Virginia for a price of $262,500. However, a one year clause
restricting banking operations accompanies the purchase.

    Management will continue to investigate and consider other possible sites
that would enable the Bank to profitably serve its chosen market area.
Additional purchases of premises and equipment for the year 2002 will depend on
the decision to open additional branches.

Loans

    Total loans have increased $10,547,188 during the first three months of 2002
to $189,762,727. A schedule of loans by type is shown in Note 3 to the financial
statements. Approximately 58% of the loan portfolio is secured by real estate.

    Percent of total loans                                0.03%       0.04%

Deposits

    The Bank's deposits increased $11,312,884 during the first quarter of 2002
to $205,324,280 at March 31, 2002. A schedule of deposits by type is shown in
the balance sheet. Time deposits of $100,000 or more equaled 19.3% of total
deposits at March 31, 2002 and 20.0% at December 31, 2001. A maturity schedule
of deposits is included in Table II.

Capital

      Capital as a percentage of total assets was 8.6% at March 31, 2002, which
exceeded regulatory requirements. On January 1, 2002, the Board approved a 2 for
1 stock split to shareholders of record on that date. Based on the current
growth rate and capital percentage it is likely that the Bank will need to raise
additional capital in the near future.

Liquidity and Interest Sensitivity

    At March 31, 2002, the Company had liquid assets of approximately $10.4
million in the form of cash, federal funds sold, deposits in other banks.
Management believes that the Company's liquid assets are adequate at March 31,
2002. Additional liquidity will be provided by the growth in deposit accounts
and loan repayments. In the event the Company would need additional funds, it
has the ability to purchase federal funds under established lines of credit of
$3.5 million.

    At March 31, 2002, the Company had a negative cumulative Gap Rate
Sensitivity Ratio of 28.73% for the one year repricing period.  This
generally indicates that earnings would improve in a declining interest rate
environment as liabilities reprice more quickly than assets. Conversely,
earnings would probably decrease in periods during which interest rates are
increasing. Management constantly monitors the Bank's interest rate risk and has
decided that the current position is an acceptable risk for a growing community
bank operating in a rural environment.  Table II shows the Company's interest
sensitivity by year.

Employees

    The Company's full time equivalent employees have increased from 111 at
December 31, 2001 to 112 at March 31, 2002. Future increases in the number of
employees will depend on the selection and approval of new branches.
