Note (1)

        The consolidated financial statements of National Bankshares, Inc.
(Bankshares) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, The National Bank of Blacksburg
(NBB) 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 nine
months ended September 30, 2006 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 in this
Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the notes to consolidated financial
statements included in the Company's 2005 Form 10-K. The Company posts all
reports required to be filed under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 on
its web site at www.nationalbankshares.com.

Note (2) Stock-Based Compensation

        The Company adopted the National Bankshares, Inc. 1999 Stock Option Plan
to give key employees of Bankshares and its subsidiaries an opportunity to
acquire shares of National Bankshares, Inc. common stock. The purpose of the
1999 Stock Option Plan is to promote the success of Bankshares and its
subsidiaries by providing an incentive to key employees that enhances the
identification of their personal interest with the long term financial success
of the Company and with growth in stockholder value. Under the 1999 Stock Option
Plan, up to 500,000 shares of Bankshares common stock may be granted. The 1999
Stock Option Plan is administered by the Stock Option Committee, which is the
NBI Board of Directors' Compensation Committee, made up entirely of independent
directors of National Bankshares, Inc. The Stock Option Committee may determine
whether options are incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options and
may determine the other terms of grants, such as number of shares, term, a
vesting schedule, and the exercise price. The 1999 Stock Option Plan limits the
maximum term of any option granted to ten years, states that options may be
granted at not less than fair market value on the date of the grant and contains
certain other limitations on the exercisability of incentive stock options. The
options generally vest 25% after one year, 50% after two years, 75% after three
years and 100% after four years. On December 29, 2005, the Company's Board of
Directors passed a resolution stating that all 142,000 previously granted, but
unvested, stock options be immediately vested. The vesting was made subject to
the provision that any shares of NBI common stock obtained by an option grantee
by exercise of an option subject to accelerated vesting may not be sold or
otherwise transferred prior to the expiration of the option's original vesting
period. This action was taken to reduce the impact of the "Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, Share-Based Payment" on the Company's
earnings over the remaining vesting period of the stock options. At the
discretion of the Stock Option Committee options may be awarded with the
provision that they may be accelerated upon a change of control, merger,
consolidation, sale or dissolution of National Bankshares, Inc. At September 30,
2006, there were 286,000 additional shares available for grant under the plan.
        Compensation expense is calculated using the Black-Scholes model and is
amortized over the requisite service period using the straight-line method.
Please refer to the Company's Form 10-K dated December 31, 2005 for assumptions
used. There have been no grants of stock options in 2006.

        The Company had 240 securities with a fair value of $161,386 which were
temporarily impaired at September 30, 2006. The total unrealized loss on these
securities was $4,051. Losses are attributed to interest rate movements. Credit
quality of the securities portfolio is continuously monitored by management, and
there is no present concern with that quality. The Company has the ability and
intent to hold these securities until maturity. Therefore, the losses associated
with these securities are considered temporary at September 30, 2006. All
securities shown are above investment grade.

Note (5) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

        In March 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 156, "Accounting for Servicing of
Financial Assets an amendment of FASB Statement 140" (Statement 156). Statement
156 amends Statement 140 with respect to separately recognized servicing assets
and liabilities. Statement 156 requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset
or liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset
by entering into a servicing contract and requires all servicing assets and
liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. Statement
156 also permits entities to subsequently measure servicing assets and
liabilities using an amortization method or fair value measurement method. Under
the amortization method, servicing assets and liabilities are amortized in
proportion to and over the estimated period of servicing. Under the fair value
measurement method, servicing assets are measured at fair value at each
reporting date and changes in fair value are reported in net income for the
period the change occurs. Adoption of Statement 156 is required as of the
beginning of fiscal years beginning subsequent to September 15, 2006. Earlier
adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an entity's fiscal year, provided
the entity has not yet issued financial statements, including interim financial
statements. The Company does not expect the adoption of Statement 156 at the
beginning of 2007 to have a material impact.

        In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) released
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (SAB 108). SAB 108 expresses the SEC staff's
views regarding the process of quantifying financial statement misstatements.
These interpretations were issued to address diversity in practice and the
potential under current practice for the build up of improper amounts on the
balance sheet. SAB 108 expresses the SEC staff's view that a registrant's
materiality evaluation of an identified unadjusted error should quantify the
effects of the error on each financial statement and related financial statement
disclosures and that prior year misstatements should be considered in
quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements. SAB 108 also
states that correcting prior year financial statements for immaterial errors
would not require previously filed reports to be amended. Such correction may be
made the next time the registrant files the prior year financial statements.
Registrants electing not to restate prior periods should reflect the effects of
initially applying the guidance in SAB 108 in their annual financial statements
covering the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006. The cumulative
effect of the initial application should be reported in the carrying amounts of
assets and liabilities as of the beginning of that fiscal year and the
offsetting adjustment should be made to the opening balance of retained earnings
for that year. Registrants should disclose the nature and amount of each
individual error being corrected in the cumulative adjustment. The disclosure
should also include when and how each error arose and the fact that the errors
had previously been considered immaterial. The SEC staff encourages early
application of the guidance in SAB 108 for interim periods of the first fiscal
year ending after November 15, 2006. The Company does not expect the
implementation of SFAS 108 to have a material impact on its financial
statements.

        In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 155, "Accounting for Certain
Hybrid Financial Instruments - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140"
(SFAS 155). SFAS 155 permits fair value measurement of any hybrid financial
instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require
bifurcation. The Statement also clarifies which interest-only strips and
principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of Statement 133. It
establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets
to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid
financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation.
SFAS 155 also clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of
subordination are not embedded derivatives. Finally, SFAS 155 amends Statement
140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from
holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest
other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS 155 is effective for
all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity's
first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company does not
expect the implementation of SFAS 155 to have a material impact on its financial
statements.

        In March 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 156, "Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets - an amendment
of FASB Statement No. 140" (SFAS 156). SFAS 156 requires an entity to recognize
a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation
to service a financial asset by entering into certain servicing contracts. The
Statement also requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing
liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. SFAS 156
permits an entity to choose between the amortization and fair value methods for
subsequent measurements. At initial adoption, the Statement permits a one-time
reclassification of available for sale securities to trading securities by
entities with recognized servicing rights. SFAS 156 also requires separate
presentation of servicing assets and servicing liabilities subsequently measured
at fair value in the statement of financial position and additional disclosures
for all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. This
Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that
begins after September 15, 2006. The Company does not expect the implementation
of SFAS 156 to have a material impact on its financial statements.


                                       18
                                     


        In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines fair
value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted
accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements but may change current
practice for some entities. This Statement is effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods
within those years. The Company does not expect the implementation of SFAS 157
to have a material impact on its financial statements.

        In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 158, "Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other
Postretirement Plans - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and
132(R)" (SFAS 158). SFAS 158 requires an employer to recognize the overfunded or
underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or
liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in
that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive
income. The funded status of a benefit plan will be measured as the difference
between plan assets at fair value and the benefit obligation. For a pension
plan, the benefit obligation is the projected benefit obligation. For any other
postretirement plan, the benefit obligation is the accumulated postretirement
benefit obligation. SFAS 158 also requires an employer to measure the funded
status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position.
The Statement also requires additional disclosure in the notes to financial
statements about certain effects on net periodic benefit cost for the next
fiscal year that arise from delayed recognition of the gains or losses, prior
service costs or credits, and transition asset or obligation. The Company is
required to initially recognize the funded status of a defined benefit
postretirement plan and to provide the required disclosures as of the end of the
fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. The requirement to measure plan
assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the employers' fiscal year-end
statement of financial position is effective for fiscal years ending after
December 15, 2008. If SFAS 158 had been implemented as of December 31, 2005, it
would have resulted in decreases in accumulated comprehensive income of
approximately $2,928. Comprehensive income as shown on the Consolidated
Statement of Equity at December 31, 2005 would have been $7,494.

        In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes: An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109" (FIN
48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized
in an entity's financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109. The
Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement principles for
the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or
expected to be taken on a tax return. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company does not expect the
implementation of FIN 48 to have a material impact on its financial statements.

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

        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. Refer to the financial statements and other information included in
this report as well as the 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K for an understanding
of the following discussion and analysis.
        This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements
as described in 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 when earning income,
recognizing an expense, recovering an asset or relieving a liability. We use
historical loss factors as one element 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 estimable 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 actual
events occur. The formula allowance uses a historical loss view and certain


                                       20
                                     


qualitative factors 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. 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
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 $9,958 and $10,912
at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, did not constitute the acquisition
of a business, and therefore will continue to be amortized.

Overview

        National Bankshares, Inc. (NBI) is a financial holding company located
in Southwest Virginia. It conducts operations primarily through its full-service
banking affiliate, the National Bank of Blacksburg. It also has one nonbanking
affiliate, National Bankshares Financial Services, Inc., which offers investment
and insurance products. Net income derived from the nonbanking affiliate is not
significant at this time or in the foreseeable future. NBI is a community bank
operation with total assets of approximately $845 million.

Company Activities in 2006

        Until May 26, 2006, the Company operated two banking affiliates. On that
date, its Bank of Tazewell County affiliate was merged into National Bank of
Blacksburg. The National Bank of Blacksburg operates under the name of "National
Bank". The merger of the Company's two banking affiliates offers bank customers
more options in an expanded geographic area. It also provides operating
efficiency through elimination of some duplicate functions.

        The Company plans to install state of the art check imaging equipment in
the fourth quarter of 2006. This equipment will greatly enhance efficiency in
the area of document processing and provide certain advantages to the Company's
banking customers.

(1)     Net Interest Margin: Year-to-date tax-equivalent net interest income
        divided by year-to-date average earning assets using a tax rate of 35%.
(2)     Noninterest Margin: Noninterest income (including securities gains and
        losses) less noninterest expense (excluding the provision for bad debts
        and income taxes) divided by average year-to-date assets. This is a
        non-GAAP financial measure of the level of noninterest income and
        expense.

        The return on average assets for the first nine months of 2006 and 2005
was 1.51%. The return on average equity experienced a decline.
        The net interest margin declined by 35 basis points when compared with
September 30, 2005, and it is down 27 basis points when compared to year-end
2005. This decrease was due to rising interest rates. Interest expense has
continued to grow at a faster pace than interest income.

$3,499, or 0.42%, when compared to December 31, 2005.

        In order to reduce the compression of the net interest margin,
management has exercised restraint when pricing large denomination time
deposits. This approach has had a positive influence on profitability; however,
it has slowed deposit growth. For a limited period during the third quarter of
2006, the Company's bank subsidiary offered two special time deposit products
that were designed to attract new, smaller denomination deposits. These efforts
helped to increase time deposit balances and total deposits for the quarter.

Asset Quality

        Key asset quality indicators are shown below:


                                                September 30, 2006      September 30,2005     December 31, 2005

        This data indicates that the level of nonperforming loans has declined,
and at quarter-end there were no nonperforming loans. The level of loans past
due 90 days or more has also declined. Asset quality remains excellent.

Net Interest Income

        Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was
$22,171, a decrease of $1,530 from the same period in 2005. This was the result
of a decrease in the net interest margin.
        A comparison of 2006 and 2005 indicates that the yield on earning assets
increased by 18 basis points, while the cost to fund earning assets increased by
53 basis points. Together, these changes produced a decline in the net interest
margin of 35 basis points.
        In a rising interest rate environment, the net interest margin is
primarily affected by the ability of the securities and loan portfolios to
re-price upward. If these portfolios, which constitute the majority of the
Company's earning assets, do not keep a reasonable pace with the upward
re-pricing of liabilities used to fund these assets then the net interest margin
will decline.
        A comparison of yields on the securities and loan portfolios for the
first nine months of 2006 and 2005 follows:

                            For the period ended       For the period ended
                             September 30, 2006         September 30, 2005
------------------------ --------------------------- --------------------------
Debit Securities                   5.54%                      5.61%
------------------------ --------------------------- -------------------------
Loans                              7.09%                      6.76%
------------------------ --------------------------- -------------------------

        This table indicates that the yield on the securities portfolio declined
7 basis points from September 30, 2005 to September 30, 2006. The decline in
yield occurred at the same time as the Company was required to pay more in
interest for the liabilities that fund securities. The result negatively
impacted net interest income and ultimately net income.
        The loan portfolio yield increased by 33 basis points, significantly
offsetting rising funding costs.
        Assuming a stable interest rate environment, the net interest margin
hould improve over time. Yields on earning assets, including securities and
loans, will ultimately increase to reflect higher interest rates in the
marketplace. This increase will help offset the more rapid increases in interest
paid on deposits.
        Securities re-pricing is affected by several factors including
maturities, call features, sales, variable rate characteristics for some bonds
and principal repayments. In this report, under the section "Interest Rate
Sensitivity" is a schedule showing the amount of investments the Company expects
will mature, call, re-price or pay down in the time periods specified. Potential
sales are not factored in that table.
        The Company does not anticipate selling a substantial number of
securities in order to restructure the investment portfolio. To do so would
likely result in losses caused by the decline in the current value of assets
caused by rising interest rates. Any such losses could be avoided by holding the
securities to maturity. In addition, the activation of call features is
dependent upon the level of interest rates. Accordingly, the amount of bonds
forecast to be called can vary from time to time.
        Loan re-pricing is a function of scheduled repayments, prepayments, rate
change frequency and other factors such as rate caps and rate floors. Since the
re-pricings depend upon the contractual terms of individual loans, the Company's
has little flexibility in controlling interest rate risk in this area. The table
under "Interest Rate Sensitivity" shows the amount of loans expected to
re-price.

Net Interest Income - Trends and Future Expectations

        Starting in mid-2004 and continuing through 2006, the Federal Reserve
Board initiated a series of interest rate increases. These increases were
designed to restore interest rates to historically more typical levels and to
prevent inflation. Rate increases occurred at regular intervals, each at 25
basis points.


                                       23
                                     


        In its August 2006 meeting, the Federal Reserve Bank declined to raise
interest rates. It is not known at this point in time whether this halt is
permanent or temporary. A cessation of rate increases would eventually have a
positive impact on the Company's net interest margin.

Interest Expense

        Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was
$13,303, an increase of $3,218, or 31.9%, from the same period the prior year.
As previously discussed, rising interest rates have been the major contributor
to this increase.
        During periods of rising interest rates, interest-bearing demand
deposits, and to a lesser degree savings deposits, migrate to higher rate,
longer-term time deposits. Generally, as rates climb, more migration occurs.
Given their re-pricing characteristics, interest-bearing demand deposits readily
respond to any interest rate movement. In other words, increases or decreases in
interest expense can occur quite quickly.
        As previously noted, during the third quarter the Company initiated two
special time deposit offers in an effort to procure additional deposits. These
efforts were successful. Some new time deposits were acquired and some existing
deposits migrated to the special products. The Company's trade area continues to
be highly competitive.

Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses

        The provision for loan losses for the nine-month period ended September
30, 2006 was $40, a $517 decrease from the same period ended September 30, 2005.
The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans at the end of the
first nine months of 2006 was 1.06%, which compares to 1.13% at the same period
last year. The net charge-off ratio at September 30, 2006 was 0.06%, and it was
0.18% at September 30, 2005.
        The Company regularly reviews asset quality and re-evaluates the
allowance for loan losses. An appropriate provision and allowance for loan
losses is established for the bank, depending upon the quality of its loan
portfolio. Because of the continued excellent overall quality of the loan
portfolio and somewhat slower loan growth, it is management's judgment that the
decrease in the provision for loan losses is justified and the allowance is
appropriate and adequate. (See "Allowance for Loan Losses" under "Critical
Accounting Policies".)

        Noninterest income is made up of several categories. Following is a
description of each, as well as the factors that influence each.

        Service charges on deposit accounts consist of a variety of charges
imposed on demand deposits, interest-bearing deposits and savings deposit
accounts. These include, but are not limited to, the following:
o Demand deposit monthly activity fees
o Service charges for checks for which there are non-sufficient funds or
  overdraft charges
o ATM transaction fees


                                       24
                                     


        The principal factors affecting current or future levels of income from
this category are:
o Internally generated growth
o Acquisitions of other banks/branches or de novo branches
o Adjustments to service charge structures
         Service charges on deposits were $2,532 at September 30, 2006, an
increase of $259 or 11.4%. In early 2005 the Company increased its charge for
each overdrawn item, and the amount of daily maximum charges was also increased.

        Other service charges and fees consist of several categories. The
primary categories are listed below.
o Fees for the issuance of official checks
o Safe deposit box rent
o Income from the sale of customer checks
o Income from the sale of credit life and accident and health insurance
        Levels of income derived from other service charges and fees vary. Fees
for the issuance of official checks and customer check sales tend to grow as
the existing franchise grows and as new offices are added. Fee schedules, while
subject to change, generally do not by themselves yield a significant increase
in income when they change. The most significant growth in safe deposit box
rent also comes with an expansion of offices. Safe deposit box fee schedules,
which are already at competitive levels, are occasionally adjusted. Income
derived from the sale of credit life insurance and accident and health
insurance varies with loan volume.
       Other service charges and fees at September 30, 2006 were $292, as
compared with $224 for the same period the prior year. Of the $68 increase,
approximately $10 was due to increases in fees associated with cashing income
tax refund checks. Another $16 came from increased fees for letters of credit.
The remainder of the increase was in the safe deposit box, and credit life
insurance categories.

        Credit card fees consist of three types of revenues.
o       Credit card transaction fees
o       Debit card transaction fees
o       Merchant fees
       In all three cases volume is critical to growth in income. For debit and
credit cards the number of accounts, whether obtained from internal growth or
by acquisition, is the key factor. Merchant fees also depend on the number of
merchants in the Company's program, as well as the type of business and the
level of transaction discounts associated with them.
       Credit card fees increased by $152 or 9.4% when September 30, 2006 and
September 30, 2005 are compared. The increase was attributable to volume.

        Trust income is somewhat dependent upon market conditions and the number
 of estate accounts being handled at any given point in time. Financial market
 conditions, which affect the value of trust assets managed, can vary, leading
 to fluctuations in the related income. Over the past few years and into 2006,
 the financial markets have experienced a degree of volatility. Income from
 estates is also unpredictable. Trust income for the first nine months of 2006
 was $1,059, compared to $1,062 from the previous year.
        Other income is used for types of income that cannot be classified with
 other categories of noninterest income. The category includes such things as:
o Net gains on the sale of fixed assets
o Rent on foreclosed property
o Income from cash value life insurance
o Other infrequent or minor forms of income
o Revenue from investment and insurance sales

                                       25
                                     


        Given the nature of the items included in this category, trends or
patterns are not identifiable. Other income increased $422 when September 30,
2006 and September 30, 2005 are compared. Of the $422 change, approximately $409
was attributable to increases in cash value associated with bank owned life
insurance policies.

        Realized net gains and losses on securities include write-downs in
certain investments in limited liability companies (LLC's) of which the Company
is part owner, as well as sales, maturities and calls of securities.
        Realized gains and losses were $13 for the period ended September 30,
2006. The net gain was due to securities sold or called offset by write downs in
the Company's investment in certain limited liability companies (LLC's).

----------------------------- --------------------------- ----------------------

       Noninterest expense includes several categories. A brief description of
the factors that affect each follows.

       In addition to employee salaries, the salaries and benefits expense
category includes the costs of employment taxes and employee fringe benefits.
Certain of these are:
o Health insurance
o Employee life insurance
o Dental insurance
o Executive compensation plans (1)
o Qualified Pension plans (1)
o Supplemental retirement plan (salary continuation agreements)
o Employer FICA
o Unemployment taxes

(1) See the 2005 Form 10-K and the Proxy Statement for the 2006 Annual
    Meeting of Stockholders for further information.

        Salaries and employee benefits expense was $8,706 at September 30, 2006,
an increase of $172 or 2.0% when compared with the same period in 2005. Included
in the increase is an $180 expense associated with a supplemental retirement
plan that provides for salary continuation agreements with selected officers of
the Company and its affiliates. This expense was offset by income from bank
owned life insurance on the plan participants. (See the discussion of "Other
Income".) The Company employed 248 fulltime equivalent employees at September
30, 2006 and 272 at September 30, 2005.


                                       26
                                     


        Occupancy costs include such items as depreciation expense, maintenance
of the properties, repairs and real estate taxes. At September 30, 2006,
occupancy and furniture and fixture expense was $1,479, an increase of $29 or
2.0% over the end of the first nine months of last year. The increase was due to
fluctuation in various accounts, none of which represent a material change.

        Data processing and ATM expense decreased by $250 when compared to
September 30, 2005. A decline in maintenance cost of approximately $64 and a
decrease in conversion expenses of $152 account for most of the decrease. Check
imaging equipment to be installed in the fourth quarter of 2006 is expected to
add approximately $8 per month to expense.

        Credit card processing includes costs associated with the processing of
credit cards, debit cards and merchant transactions. These expenses are related
to credit card income previously discussed in "Noninterest Income", and the
comments in that section are applicable. Credit card processing expense was
$1,361 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $91 from the
same period in 2005. Volume accounted for the increase.

        Intangible expense is influenced by acquisitions, amortization schedules
and impairment testing depending on the nature of the intangible. Core deposit
intangibles are amortized while goodwill is subject to testing for impairment.
Both generally increase with acquisitions. Intangibles amortization expense at
September 30, 2006 was $853, an increase of $21 over the same period the
previous year. The increase was associated with the acquisition of two branches
in February 2005.

        Net cost of other real estate owned consists of losses on disposal,
repairs, write-downs and other foreclosure costs. Net costs of other real estate
owned were down $228 when compared to the first nine months of last year. This
category can fluctuate substantially depending on the number of properties on
hand, the gains or losses on sale and the amount of write-downs.

        Other operating expenses include all other forms of expense not
classified elsewhere in the Company's statement of income. Included in this
category are such items as stationery and supplies, franchise taxes,
contributions, telephone, postage and other operating costs. Other operating
expenses for the first nine months of 2006, at $2,959, were down $198 from the
same period in the prior year, largely due to cost containment measures.

Securities

        During the third quarter of 2006 the Company sold approximately $823 in
securities held to maturity. These securities consisted of 46 mortgage-backed
securities that paid down over time. The sales were consistent with accounting
rules that permit such sales.

Loans

        Total loans net of unearned income at September 30, 2006 were $497,605,
an increase of $4,994 or approximately 1.0% from December 31, 2005. This equates
to an annualized growth rate of approximately 1.4%.

Deposits

        Total deposits at September 30, 2006 decreased by $2,856 from December
31, 2005. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits decreased by $4,474 when September
30, 2006 is compared to December 31, 2005. During the same period,
interest-bearing demand deposits decreased by $15,589, and time deposits
increased by $22,463. Saving deposits during the period declined by $5,256.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        Net cash provided by operating activities was $11,143 for the period
ended September 30, 2006, which compares to $11,497 for the same period the
previous year.
        Net cash used in investing activities was $10,133 for the period ended
September 30, 2006, and $8,547 for the period ended September 30, 2005. Net cash
used by financing activities was $6,527 for the period ending September 30,
2006.
        Management is unaware of any commitment that would have a material and
adverse effect on liquidity at September 30, 2006.
        Total shareholders' equity grew by $5,864 from December 31, 2005 to
September 30, 2006. Earnings, the changes in unrealized gains and losses for
securities available for sale and a dividend of $2,524 accounted for the net
increase. During the first nine months of 2006, the Company repurchased 42,100
shares of its own stock for approximately $987. See Part II Item 2 of this
report for further information regarding stock repurchases. The Tier I and Tier
II risk-based capital ratios at September 30, 2006 were 14.1% and 15.0%,
respectively. The Company's leverage capital ratio was 10.2%

        As shown in the above table, the Company is liability sensitive. In
other words, the Company's interest-bearing liabilities reprice and/or mature at
a faster rate than its interest-earning assets. During periods of rising
interest rates, such as we have recently experienced, this causes the Company's
net interest margin to decrease. This in turn has a negative impact on overall
profitability.

 Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Financial Condition and Results of
            Operations for the Three Months ended September 30, 2006

        Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was $3,201, up
$147 when compared to the same period the prior year. Basic earnings per share
for the second quarter of 2006 were $0.46 compared to $.44 in the third quarter
of 2005.

Earnings

        Interest rates have been steadily rising throughout 2005 and 2006.
Because the Company is liability sensitive, the rising rates have had an adverse
impact on net interest income. As shown in the statement of profit and loss,
interest income increased by $559, while interest expense during the same period
increased by $875. This produced a decline in net interest income of $316, when
the third quarter of 2006 and 2005 are compared.

        The provision for loan losses was $16 in the third quarter of 2006, a
decrease from the $169 in the third quarter of 2005. Asset quality remains
excellent. Therefore, based upon current information, the Company does not
anticipate substantial additions to the allowance for loan losses.

        Noninterest income increased by $340 when the third quarter of 2006 and
2005 are compared. With the exception of realized gains and losses on
securities, which declined by $340, all other categories improved. Comments made
in the year-to-date discussion apply. Other income was up significantly because
of income from bank-owned life insurance contracts.

        Noninterest expense was $5,396 for the quarter ended September 30, 2006.
This represents an increase of $17 from the same period last year. Comments made
in the year-to-date discussion apply. Data processing expense declined when
compared to 2005 because of acquisition-related computer conversion costs in
2005. The cost of other real estate owned has dropped substantially as
foreclosed properties have been liquidated.

        In summary, the Company has experienced a decline in net interest income
due to rising interest rates. To date, increases in the noninterest income
areas, coupled with decreases in noninterest expense, have more than offset the
decline in net interest income. The extent to which noninterest income and
expense will continue to offset the decline in interest income is not currently
known. If interest rates rise and the interest margin erodes further, it would


                                       29
                                     


not be unreasonable to expect that net income could be negatively impacted.
However, if interest rates remain stable, the Company's interest income could
improve.

Derivatives and Off Balance Sheet Items

        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's banking affiliate extends lines of credit to its customers
in the normal course of business. Amounts drawn upon these lines vary at any
given time depending on the business needs of the customers.
        Standby letters of credit are also issued to the bank customers. There
are two types of standby letters of credit. The first is a guarantee of payment
to facilitate customer purchases. The second type is a performance letter of
credit that guarantees a payment if the customer fails to perform a specific
obligation.
        While it would be possible for customers to draw in full on approved
lines of credit and letters of credit, historically this has not occurred. In
the event of a sudden and substantial draw on these lines, the Company has its
own lines of credit on which it could draw funds. Sale of the loans would also
be an option.
        The Company also sells mortgages on the secondary market for which there
are recourse agreements should the borrower default.
        Through three quarters of 2006, there have been no significant or
unusual changes in these types of off balance sheet contractual obligations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

        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 provide
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, 2005. (See "Interest Rate Sensitivity".)

Item 4.   Controls and Procedures

        Under the supervision and with the participation of management,
including the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial
officer, the Company has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the
design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures as of September
30, 2006. Based on that evaluation, the Company's principal executive officer
and principal financial officer have concluded that these controls and
procedures are effective to give reasonable assurance in alerting them in a
timely fashion to material information relating to the Company that is required
to be included in the reports the Company files under the Act. There were no
changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting during the
period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial
reporting.
        Disclosure controls and procedures are the Company's controls and
procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed
by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is
accumulated and communicated to allow timely decisions regarding its required
disclosure. The Company believes that a controls system, no matter how well
designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that all control issues
have been detected.
