National Bancshares Corporation
Note to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 1.  Basis of Presentation

         The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of National Bancshares Corporation (the "Company") and its wholly-owned
subsidiary, First National Bank, Orrville, Ohio (the "Bank"). All significant
intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The consolidated
balance sheet as of June 30, 1999, the consolidated statements of income for the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, and the consolidated
statements of cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998
have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management,
all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary
for a fair presentation have been included.

         The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with the instructions to Form 10-Q, but do not include all the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. These statements should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and footnotes in the Company's annual report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998. Operating results for the six
months ended June 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1999.

          The Company provides a broad range of financial services to
individuals and companies in northern Ohio. While the Company's chief decision
makers monitor the revenue streams of the various products and services,
operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a Company-wide
basis. Accordingly, all the Company's banking operations are considered by
management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment.

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

         FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

         The Company cautions that any forward-looking statements contained in
this report, in a report incorporated by reference to this report or made by
management of the Company involves risk and uncertainties and are subject to
change based on various important factors. Actual results could differ
materially from those expressed or implied. Additionally, the Company claims no

herein.

         FINANCIAL CONDITION

         Balance Sheets

         Total assets increased $3.8 million or 2.0% over 12/31/98. Cash and due
from banks decreased approximately $1.3 million, mainly the result of a lower
outgoing check letter on 6/30/99 as compared to 12/31/98. Interest bearing
deposits with banks were $2.0 million on 6/30/99. Federal funds sold decreased
$5.2 million or 39.5% due to loan demand and funds being invested in interest
bearing deposits with banks. Securities available for sale decreased $290
thousand or 2.2% and securities held to maturity increased $745 thousand or 1.3%
from 12/31/98. Net loans increased $7.0 million or 7.6% due to increased demand
in the commercial loan and real estate mortgage loan areas.

The activity in the allowance for loan losses for the first half of 1999 was as
follows:

Beginning balance                         $1,296,513
Provision for loan losses                     60,000
Loans charged-off                            (73,849)
Recoveries                                    17,870
                                          ----------
Ending balance                            $1,300,534
                                          ----------

         The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable
credit losses, increased by the provision for loan losses and decreased by
charge-offs less recoveries. Management estimates the allowance balance required
using past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the nature and
volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and
estimated collateral values, economic conditions, and other factors. Allocations
of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is
available for any loan that, in management's judgement, should be charged-off.

         The allowance for loan losses to total loans percentages were 1.29% and
1.39% as of June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively. On an annualized
basis, net charge-off to total loans percentages were .11% for the first half of
1999 and .06% for 1998. The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans was
 .14% for June 30, 1999 compared to .18% for December 31, 1998. Non-performing
loans consist of loans that have been placed on nonaccrual status. Management
reviews the allowance for loan losses on a regular basis to determine the
adequacy of the reserve.

                                       7

Impaired loans at June 30, 1999 were as follows:

Loans with no allocated allowance for loan losses                 $    --
Loans with allocated allowance for loan losses                     46,300
Amount of the allowance for loan losses allocated                  13,884

Average of impaired loans during the first half of 1999           $55,582
Interest income recognized during impairment                        2,070
Cash-basis interest income recognized                               2,070

         A loan is impaired when full payment under the loan terms is not
expected. Impairment is evaluated in total for smaller balance loans of similar
nature such as residential mortgage, consumer, and credit card loans, and on an
individual loan basis for other loans. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the
allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value
of estimated future cash flows using the loan's existing rate or at the fair
value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral.

Financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk were as follows at June 30,
1999:

Unused lines of credit                                        $23,318,000
Letters of credit                                               1,516,000


         Total deposits increased $2.9 million or approximately 1.9% from
12/31/98. Non-interest bearing demand accounts decreased by 13.2%, savings and
N.O.W. accounts increased by 0.3% and time deposits increased by 13.2%. Jumbo
public funds (over $100,000) accounted for the majority of the increase in time
deposits. Securities sold under repurchase agreements increased $0.2 million
from 12/31/98. Total shareholders' equity decreased $0.2 million or 0.8% from
12/31/98 due primarily to the purchase of treasury shares. As the Company's
shares become available, they are purchased and utilized for the Company's
dividend reinvestment plan.


         Statements of Cash Flows


         Net cash provided by operating activities for the first six months of
both 1999 and 1998 was $1.2. Net cash used in investing activities for the first
six months of 1999 was $10.4 million due primarily to investment purchases and
loan growth. Net cash of $2.7 million was provided by financing activities as a
result of the growth in time deposits. Total cash and cash equivalents decreased
$6.5 million during the first six months of 1999. With total cash and cash
equivalents of $14.4 million as of 6/30/99, the Company's liquidity ratios
continue to remain favorable.

         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Interest income totaled $3.3 million or $91 thousand lower for the
three-months ended 6/30/99 as compared to the same period in 1998. Interest
expense was $1.2 million for the three months ended 6/30/99 or $101 thousand
below 1998. This resulted in an increase of $10 thousand or 0.5% in net interest
income for the three month period ended 6/30/99 as compared to 6/30/98. The six
months results for the periods ended 6/30/99 and 6/30/98 were a decrease in
interest income of $96 thousand and a decrease in interest expense of $184
thousand. This resulted in a net interest income increase of $88 thousand or
2.1% for the six months ended 6/30/99 compared to 6/30/98.

         Net interest rate margins were 5.11% and 5.20% for the first six months
of 1999 and 1998, respectively. Interest income yields decreased 40 basis points
as compared to interest costs, which decreased 31 basis points in 1999 compared
to 1998.

         Provision for loan losses were $30,000 for the three months ended
6/30/99 and 6/30/98, and $60,000 for the six months ended 6/30/99 and 6/30/98.
Net charge offs for the six months ended 6/30/99 were $56 thousand as compared
to $47 thousand for the same period in 1998.

         Noninterest income was $198 thousand for the three months ended 6/30/99
or approximately 1.0% below the same period in 1998. Noninterest income was $414
thousand for the six months ended 6/30/99 or approximately 2.8% below the same
period in 1998 due mainly to gains on loans sold during 1998.

         Noninterest expense was $1.6 million for the three months ended 6/30/99
or approximately 0.3% above the same period in 1998. Year to date noninterest
expenses for 1999 were $3.0 million or 0.7% above the same period in 1998, due
mainly to normal salary increases.

         Net income was $592 thousand for the three months ended 6/30/99 or 1.2%
above the same quarter of 1998. Net income was approximately $1.2 million for
the six months ended 6/30/99 or 4.3% above the first six months of 1998. The
increase was due primarily to a lower cost of funds on our deposits. Unrealized
appreciation (depreciation) on securities available for sale was ($64) thousand
for the three months ended 6/30/99 compared to ($171) thousand for the three
months ended 6/30/98. Year to date unrealized appreciation (depreciation) was
($215) thousand compared to ($3) thousand for the same period last year. As
interest rates increased during the first half of 1999, the market value of the
debt securities in the available for sale portfolio depreciated in value.
Comprehensive income was $528 thousand for the three months ended 6/30/99 or
27.5% above the same period in 1998. Comprehensive income was $997 thousand for
the six months ended 6/30/99 or 14.0% below the first half of 1998.

         YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

         Management has completed its assessment of the Year 2000 issue for all
major systems. A schedule was established to test all computer hardware and
software programs to determine compatibility with the Year 2000. Each computer
application has been identified as "Mission Critical" or "Non-Mission Critical".
The Company has contacted the companies that supply or service the Company's
computer-operated or computer-dependent systems to obtain confirmation that each
system material to the operations of the Company is either Year 2000 compliant
or is expected to be Year 2000 compliant. The Company believes all Mission
Critical hardware and software systems are or will be Year 2000 compliant. With
respect to systems that cannot presently be confirmed as Year 2000 compliant,
the Company will continue to work with the appropriate supplier or servicer to
ensure all such systems will be rendered compliant in a timely manner, with
minimal expense to the Company or disruption of the Company's operations. System
testing, renovation, validation and implementation will continue through 1999.
As a contingency plan, the Company has determined that if the Company's systems
fail, the Company would implement manual systems until such systems could be
re-established. The Company does not anticipate that such short-term manual
systems would have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations. To
date, the Company has spent approximately $90 thousand on the Year 2000 project,
which includes operating expenses and equipment purchases. While no assurances
can be given, management believes the cost of addressing and correcting this
issue will not have a material impact on the Company's business, results of
operations or financial condition.
