                               PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

     The  following  summary  is  qualified  in its  entirety  by  the  detailed
information and financial  statements  appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus or
incorporated herein by reference.  Unless otherwise  indicated,  the information
contained in this  Prospectus  assumes (i) an offering price of $_________,  and
(ii) that the Underwriter's overallotment option is not exercised. The Company

     Mid-Atlantic  Community  BankGroup,   Inc.,  a  Virginia  corporation  (the
"Company"),  is the holding  company for Peninsula Trust Bank,  Incorporated,  a
Virginia-chartered  commercial  bank (the "Bank") that  commenced  operations on
July 20, 1989. The Company and the Bank are  headquartered  at the same location
in Gloucester,  Virginia.  The Company has experienced  consistent  growth since
1989.  At December  31, 1996 the  Company had $136.4  million in assets,  $120.5
million in  deposits  and $14.4  million in  stockholders'  equity.  In 1996 the
Company's  net income was $1.5  million,  compared  to $1.0  million in 1995 and
$752,000 in 1994.

     The  Company's  market area is in the Peninsula  Region of Virginia,  which
lies east of  Richmond,  north of the James River and south of the  Rappahannock
River. The Bank currently operates five full-service banking offices,  including
the main office in Gloucester County and branch offices in Williamsburg, Charles
City County,  Newport News and Glenns (northern  Gloucester County).  The Glenns
location  opened on January  30,  1997 and also  houses  the  Bank's  Operations
Center.  The Bank is a  community-oriented  bank that  provides a broad range of
banking  services to small- and medium-sized  businesses and  individuals,  with
extended lobby hours and drive-in windows at each location.  The Bank strives to
provide its  customers  with the breadth of  products  comparable  to a regional
bank,  while  maintaining  the quick  response  and high  level of  service of a
community bank. The Bank's lending  activities include  commercial,  real estate
and consumer loans.

     The  Company's  business  strategy  is to  maintain  the Bank as a  leading
community  bank in the  Peninsula  Region of Virginia by building a strong local
ownership  base  in  each  community  it  serves  and by  further  developing  a
community-based   branch   banking   network.   The   Bank's   identity   as   a
community-oriented  bank  also  defines  its  strategy  for  growth.  Management
believes that the general trend toward  consolidation of the banking industry in
the  Bank's  market  area  has  created  a  niche  for  community-based  lenders
emphasizing   smaller  loans  and  customer  service.  To  exploit  this  niche,
management  intends to continue to develop its  community-based  branch  banking
network in the Peninsula Region.  The Company plans to establish a branch office
in Hampton, Virginia, which lies immediately to the east of Newport News, and is
currently evaluating available sites.

                                  RISK FACTORS

         Prospective  investors  should consider  carefully,  in addition to the
other  information  contained in this  Prospectus,  the  following  risk factors
before  purchasing  shares of the Common Stock offered  hereby.  This Prospectus
contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the  "Securities  Act"), and Section 21E
of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"),  which
statements can be identified by the use of  forward-looking  terminology such as
"may," "will," "expect," "anticipate,"  "estimate" or "continue" or the negative
thereof or other comparable  terminology.  The Company cautions readers that the
following important factors,  among others, in some cases have affected,  and in
the future  could  affect,  the  Company's  actual  results  and could cause the
Company's  actual  results  in 1997 and beyond to differ  materially  from those
expressed in any forward-looking statements made herein.

         Dependence on Key  Personnel.  The Company is  substantially  dependent
upon the services of William J. Farinholt, President and Chief Executive Officer
of the Company and the Bank, and Kenneth E. Smith,  Executive Vice President and
Chief Financial Officer of the Company and the Bank. The loss of the services of
Mr.  Farinholt or Mr. Smith could have a material adverse effect upon the future
prospects of the Company.  The Company has entered  into  employment  agreements
with Mr. Farinholt and Mr. Smith. See "Management."

         Continued  Growth.  The Company has experienced  rapid growth since the
Company commenced  operations as a state chartered bank in July, 1989.  Although
the Company expects to continue growing in the future, there can be no assurance
that the recent rate of growth can be  maintained.  The Bank is a relatively new
financial  institution  in a highly  competitive  market  with a loan  portfolio
developed  over the last eight  years.  In  addition,  continued  growth will be
dependent in part on management's  ability to supervise the Company's  personnel
and operations in an efficient and productive  manner  consistent  with its past
practices.

         Competition.  The Company  encounters strong  competition from numerous
financial  institutions  within its primary  service area,  including many large
banks that operate in the Peninsula Region of Virginia. By virtue of their large
capital bases,  such banks have  substantially  greater  lending limits than the
Company  and  perform  certain  services  for  their  customers,  such as  trust
services,  that the Company does not currently  offer. In addition to commercial
banks, the Company competes with other financial  institutions,  such as savings
and loan  associations,  finance companies,  credit unions,  money market funds,
stock  brokerage  firms,   insurance   companies  and  other  financial  service
organizations.  Many of the  financial  organizations  in  competition  with the
Company have greater  financial  resources and loan  capacities than the Company
and are able to offer  similar  services  at lower  costs.  The  Company  cannot
accurately predict the effect of competition on its ability to further penetrate
its current and prospective markets. See "Business."

         Economic  Conditions and Related  Uncertainties.  The Company's primary
service  area is  limited  to the  Peninsula  Region of  Virginia.  Declines  in
economic  activity or increased  unemployment in this area could have an adverse
effect on the business and prospects of the Company. More generally,  commercial
banking  is  affected  by  general  economic  and  political  conditions  and by
governmental  monetary  and  fiscal  policies.  Conditions  such  as  inflation,
recession, unemployment,  volatile interest rates, tight money supply, and other
factors  beyond  the  Company's  control  may  adversely  affect  the  financial
performance of the Company.

         Government  Regulations.  The banking  industry is subject to extensive
governmental supervision,  regulation and control, which has materially affected
the business of the Company and other financial  institutions in the past and is
likely to do so in the future. Regulations affecting the banking industry may be
changed at any time, and the  interpretation  of those  regulations by examining
authorities of the banking  industry is also subject to change.  There can be no
assurance  that future  changes in  legislation,  administrative  regulations or
governmental  policy  will not  adversely  affect the banking  industry  and the
business of the Company. See "Business-Supervision and Regulation."

         Payment of  Dividends.  The Company or the Bank has paid an annual cash
dividend since 1994. The Company  currently intends to continue to pay an annual
dividend.  However,  there can be no  assurance  that the  Company's  results of
operations will continue to permit the payment of dividends.  The ability of the
Company to pay cash  dividends also is subject to both federal and state banking
regulations. See "Dividend Information."

         Determination of Offering Price. The offering price of the Common Stock
has been determined by negotiation between the Company and the Underwriter based
on certain  factors  including  the  current  market for the  Common  Stock,  an
evaluation of assets,  earnings and other established criteria of value, as well
as the comparisons of the relationships between market prices and book values of
other banking  institutions deemed comparable by the Underwriter.  Such decision
will not be solely based upon the actual  trading  market for the Common  Stock;
accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Common Stock may be resold at or
above the offering price. See "Underwriting."

         Limited Trading Market. The Common Stock of the Bank or the Company has
been quoted on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market  continuously since September 1995 and
trading volume has averaged approximately 1,000 shares per week. There can be no
assurance that an active  trading market will develop or, if developed,  will be
sustained following the Offering.


                                   THE COMPANY

         The Bank was organized on April 4, 1988 and commenced  business on July
20, 1989, with initial capital of $3.3 million. The Company, which was formed to
be the Bank's holding company,  acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of
the Bank pursuant to a plan of share exchange, on August 15, 1996.

         The Company's market area is in the Peninsula Region of Virginia, which
lies east of  Richmond,  north of the James River and south of the  Rappahannock
River.  The  principal  office  of the  Company  and the Bank is in  Gloucester,
Virginia.  In  addition  to the  main  office  in  Gloucester  County,  the Bank
currently operates branch offices in Williamsburg,  Charles City County, Newport
News and Glenns (northern  Gloucester  County).  The opening dates of the branch
offices were as follows: Williamsburg, November 1992; Charles City County, April
1994; Newport News, June 1995; and Glenns, January 1997. Each branch office is a
full-service  facility  offering a full range of deposit and loan products,  and
each is  equipped  with an ATM.  There are  extended  lobby  hours and  drive-in
windows at all  locations.  The Bank plans to open a branch  office in  Hampton,
Virginia,  to complement  its Newport News office,  and is currently  evaluating
available  sites,  although  there can be no assurance  that this branch will be
opened in accordance with the Company's current plan.

         At June 30, 1996 the Bank held approximately  23.0% of bank deposits in
Gloucester  County,  approximately 8.1% of the bank deposits in Williamsburg and
1.0% of the bank  deposits in Newport News.  The Company is the only  depository
institution with an office in Charles City County.  Deposits in the Charles City
County branch office totaled $10.3 million at December 31, 1996.

         The Bank is a  community-oriented  bank that  provides a broad range of
banking services to small and medium-sized businesses and individuals.  The Bank
strives to provide its customers with products and services  comparable to those
offered by regional banks,  while focusing on the enhanced customer service that
smaller  customers  often do not  receive at larger  banks.  The Bank's  lending
activities include commercial, real estate and consumer loans.

         The Bank has become a leading community bank in the Peninsula Region of
Virginia  by  building  a  strong  local  ownership  base  and by  developing  a
community-based  branch banking  network.  The Bank has experienced  significant
growth since  opening.  At December 31, 1996,  the Company had $136.4 million in
assets,  $120.4  million in deposits and $91.0 million in net loans.  Management
believes that the current banking  environment  favors  community-based  lenders
emphasizing smaller loans.  Accordingly,  the Bank has developed a full range of
loan products and deposit  products for small and  medium-sized  businesses  and
individuals.  The Bank's loan  portfolio at December  31, 1996,  consists of 66%
real estate loans,  11% commercial  loans and 23% installment  loans. The Bank's
real estate loans include  residential  real estate loans and home equity lines,
construction  loans  and  commercial   mortgage  loans.  See   "Business-Lending
Activities."

         The Company's  senior  management has an average of 26 years of banking
experience  and has  been  with  the  Company  since  its  inception  as a state
chartered  bank.  The  Company  believes it has hired and  retained  experienced
employees whose banking  backgrounds  have helped the Company deliver  excellent
customer service and develop and retain a highly trained professional staff.

         At December 31, 1996, the Company's  total  capital,  which included no
subordinated debt or debentures, was $14.4 million or 10.58% of total assets.

         The  Company  and the Bank are  subject to  regulation  by the Board of
Governors  of the Federal  Reserve  (the  "Federal  Reserve")  and the Bureau of
Financial  Institutions  of the SCC.  The  Bank's  deposits  are  insured by the
Federal Deposit Insurance  Corporation  ("FDIC") up to a maximum of $100,000 for
each insured depositor.

         The Company's  principal  executive  offices are located at 7171 George
Washington Memorial Highway, Gloucester, Virginia 23061. The telephone number at
that location is (804) 693-0628.


                                 USE OF PROCEEDS

         The Company  intends to use the net proceeds  from the shares of Common
Stock  offered  hereby   (estimated  at  $________,   after   deduction  of  the
underwriting  discount  and other  expenses  of the  offering  of  approximately
$________) for general corporate  purposes,  including  financing the opening of
future  branches  and to support the growth of assets and  deposits.  Additional
capital is  expected  to allow the  Company to grow  internally  and through new
branches to support greater loan and deposit volumes.  Any proceeds  received by
the Company upon the exercise of the  Underwriter's  over-allotment  option will
also be used for general corporate purposes and for financing future growth.


                             MARKET FOR COMMON STOCK

         The  Common  Stock of the  Company  or the Bank has been  quoted on the
Nasdaq SmallCap  Market  continuously  since September 20, 1995.  There has been
limited  trading  volume in the Common  Stock,  with  trading  volume  averaging
approximately  1,000  shares per week since  September  1995.  During the period
September  20, 1995 to August 14, 1996 the Bank's  Common Stock traded under the
symbol "PNTB".  Since the consummation of a plan of share exchange on August 15,
1996  pursuant  to which the  Company  became the Bank's  holding  company,  the
Company's  Common Stock has traded under the symbol  "MABG".  Prior to September
20, 1995 the Common Stock traded  sporadically in the  over-the-counter  market,
and such trades may not have  accurately  reflected the fair market value of the
Common Stock. On December 31, 1996, the Company had 903 shareholders of record.

         The following  table sets forth the high and low sales prices of the
Common Stock for the period January 1, 1995 to April 18, 1997.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The  following  presents  management's  discussion  and analysis of the
consolidated  financial condition and results of operations of the Company as of
the dates  and for the  periods  indicated.  This  discussion  should be read in
conjunction  with  the  Summary  Financial  Data,  the  Company's   Consolidated
Financial  Statements and the Notes thereto,  and other financial data appearing
elsewhere in this Prospectus.

         The consolidated financial statements include the financial information
of the  Company  and the Bank.  As a result  of a share  exchange  completed  in
August,  1996, the Company became the parent  corporation of the Bank;  however,
the Bank  represents  more than 99.0% of the  Company's  activities.  Therefore,
comparative  discussions  of  consolidated  versus  non-consolidated   financial
statements is appropriate.

Overview

         After  organizing in 1988 and opening in July 1989, the Bank has posted
consistent increases in assets,  deposits,  and profitability.  The Bank's asset
growth has exceeded 25% in each of its seven full years of  operation.  Earnings
of $1.5 million in 1996  represented the seventh  consecutive  year of increased
income.  Asset growth also evidenced strong  performance.  In 1996 the Company's
total assets  increased to $136.4  million  which  represented  a $28.1  million
increase,  or 25.9% over year-end 1995. The primary source of this growth was an
increase in total  deposits of $26.4  million  (28.1%).  Employment of these new
resources  was  accomplished   through  increases  in  the  loan  portfolio  and
investment securities account of $21.4 million (30.8%) and $2.5 million (10.1%),
respectively. Loan demand was strong throughout 1996. Growth in interest bearing
demand deposits (NOW and Money Market  accounts) was the primary  contributor to
the Company's  47.5%  increase in deposits  during the year.  These  transaction
accounts had a year end balance of $26.0 million.

         The Company had net income of $1.5  million in 1996,  a 49.9%  increase
over 1995 net income of $1.0 million.  On a pre-tax  basis,  net income for 1996
was $2.3 million,  a 62.1% increase over 1995 pre-tax income of $1.4 million.  A
common  measure  of a bank's  performance  is return  on  average  total  assets
("ROA").  The Company's ROA for 1996 was 1.3%, a 17% increase over the Company's
1995  ROA of  1.1%.  The  Company  believes  that  this  increase  represents  a
continuation  of the  Company's  trend of  improving  earnings  every year since
opening,  both in absolute  dollars and in the ROA ratio. The improvement in the
ROA has facilitated an increasing  return on average equity  ("ROE"),  despite a
conservative  leverage ratio.  In 1996 the Company's ROE was 10.9%,  compared to
10.4% in 1995.

Results of Operations

         The  Company's  sole  subsidiary,  the  Bank,  operates  by  attracting
deposits  from the  general  public  and  employing  such  deposit  funds in the
purchase of investment  securities and the making of commercial,  consumer,  and
residential  construction and permanent mortgage real estate loans. Revenues are
derived principally from interest on loans and investments.  The Company's major
expense is interest paid on deposits.

Net Interest Income

         Net interest income represents the principal source of earnings for the
Company.  Net interest income equals the amount by which interest income exceeds
interest  expense.  Earning  assets consist  primarily of loans and  securities,
while  deposits  represent  the major portion of  interest-bearing  liabilities.
Changes in the volume and mix of  interest-earning  assets and  interest-bearing
liabilities,  as well as their respective  yields and rates,  have a significant
impact on the level of net interest income. Net interest margin is calculated as
tax-equivalent  net  interest  income  divided  by  average  earning  assets and
represents the Company's net yield on its earning assets.

         The   following   table   presents   the  average   balances  of  total
interest-earning  assets and total interest-bearing  liabilities for the periods
indicated,   showing   the   average   distribution   of  assets,   liabilities,
stockholders'  equity,  and  the  related  income,  expense,  and  corresponding
weighted average yields and costs. The average balances used for the purposes of
these tables and other  statistical  disclosures  were  calculated  by using the
daily average balances.

         Total interest and fee income from loans and  investments  for 1996 was
$10.7  million  compared to $8.2  million in 1995,  a 29.5%  increase.  This was
accomplished  through an increase  in average  total  earning  assets from $86.3
million for 1995 to $110.0  million for 1996.  As a percentage  of average total
assets,  earning assets remained  relatively  constant,  declining slightly from
93.7% in 1995 to  93.3%  in 1996.  Total  interest  expense  increased  $890,600
(25.7%) in 1996 to a total of $4.4 million.

         Net interest income  increased by $1.5 million (32.4%) in 1996. The net
interest margin increased in 1996 to 5.72% from 5.51% in 1995. Expected pressure
on the net interest margin during 1995 occurred throughout the first half of the
year,  as a result of  downward  repricing  of loans and  aggressive  pricing of
deposits in  anticipation  of loan demand from the Newport  News  branch,  which
opened in mid-1995.  Pressure on the net interest margin stabilized in July 1995
and  improved  steadily  during  the  balance  of 1995 and  1996 as a result  of
improved  yields in its loan  portfolio,  as a significant  volume of three year
balloon  mortgage  loans  repriced  during  the  second  half of 1995 and  1996,
resulting rate increases  ranging from 50 to 150 basis points.  The Company also
enjoyed an increased average yield on its investment  portfolio of approximately
50 basis points in 1996.

         Net interest  income is affected by changes in both average  interest
rates and  average  volumes of  interest  earning  assets  and  interest-bearing
liabilities.  The following  table sets forth the amounts of the total change in
interest   income  that  can  be   attributed   to  changes  in  the  volume  of
interest-bearing  assets and liabilities,  and the amount of the change that can
be attributed to changes in interest rates.  The amount of change not solely due
to rate or volume  changes was allocated  between the change due to rate and the
change due to volume based on the relative size of the rate and volume changes.

Interest Sensitivity

         An important  element of both earnings  performance and the maintenance
of  sufficient  liquidity is  management  of the interest  sensitivity  gap. The
interest sensitivity gap is the difference between interest sensitive assets and
interest  sensitive  liabilities  that  mature or  reprice  in a  specific  time
interval. The gap can be managed by repricing assets or liabilities,  by selling
securities  or loans  held for  sale,  by  replacing  an asset or  liability  at
maturity  or by  adjusting  the  interest  rate  during  the life of an asset or
liability.  Matching the amounts of assets and liabilities repricing in the same
time  interval  helps to  mitigate  the impact on net  interest  income of rapid
changes in market interest rates.

         The Company  evaluates  interest  sensitivity  risk and then formulates
plans regarding asset generation and pricing,  funding sources and pricing,  and
off-balance  sheet  commitments  in order to decrease  sensitivity  risk.  These
guidelines are based on  management's  outlook  regarding  future  interest rate
movements,  the state of the regional and national economy,  and other financial
and business risk factors.

         The following table  illustrates the interest  sensitivity gap position
of the Company at December 31, 1996. It  summarizes  the  contractual  repayment
terms or nearest  repricing dates of the Company's  interest-earning  assets and
interest-bearing liabilities. This table presents a position that existed at one
particular  day.  This  position  changes  continually  and is  not  necessarily
indicative of the Company's position at any other time.

(1)      The amounts  shown for loans have not been reduced by the allowance for
         loan losses or unearned income,  which were  approximately $1.1 million
         and $483,000, respectively, at December 31, 1996.
(2)      The Company has found that  interest  bearing  demand  deposits are not
         sensitive to changes in interest rates and, therefore,  has placed such
         deposits in the one to five years category.

         The Bank  had  $20.7  million  more in  liabilities  than  assets  that
repriced  within  one year  and  was,  therefore,  in a  liability-sensitive  or
negative gap position for this interval at December 31, 1996.  Positive gaps can
affect earnings  adversely in a period of declining  rates,  while negative gaps
can  adversely  impact  earnings in a period of rising  rates.  The Bank manages
interest rate risks by monitoring  the  balances,  rates and  maturities of rate
sensitive assets and liabilities. Management considers the level described above
for the one year  interval  to




                                      -12-
<PAGE>

be slightly outside of an acceptable  range. A mitigating  factor,  however,  is
that  included in this  interval  are money  market  deposit  accounts and other
savings  deposits  which,   while   repricable  on  an  immediate  basis,   have
demonstrated less actual sensitivity to various interest rates changes than both
time  certificates  of deposit and interest  sensitive  assets.  Management  has
altered its investment strategy for the immediate future with purchases aimed at
reducing the average maturity of the Company's investment portfolio.

Securities

         The Company's securities portfolio serves several purposes. Portions of
the portfolio are held as investments,  while the remaining portions are used to
assist the Company in liquidity and asset liability management.

         In June,  1993, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board adopted FASB
115,  which  changes the manner in which  financial  institutions  classify  and
account  for their  investment  securities  for  fiscal  years  beginning  after
December 15, 1993. In response to this rule change,  as of January 1, 1994,  the
Company  revised its  investment  securities  policy and divided its  investment
securities  portfolio into two  components,  (i) securities held to maturity and
(ii)  securities  available  for  sale.  The new  investment  securities  policy
resulted in a classification  at December 31, 1994 of $8.7 million of investment
securities to  securities  available  for sale.  The  remaining  $4.3 million of
investment  securities were classified as held to maturity.  This classification
had no  material  effect on the  Company's  financial  condition  or  results of
operations in the year ended December 31, 1994.  Management  elected in December
1995 to classify the entire portfolio as available for sale.

         Securities  are   classified  as  securities   held  to  maturity  when
management  has the  intent  and the  Company  has the  ability  at the  time of
purchase to hold the  securities  to maturity.  Securities  held to maturity are
carried  at  cost  adjusted  for  amortization  of  premiums  and  accretion  of
discounts.  Securities to be held for indefinite  periods of time are classified
as  securities  available  for sale.  Unrealized  gains and losses on securities
available  for  sale  are  recognized  as  direct   increases  or  decreases  in
shareholders' equity.  Securities available for sale include securities that may
be sold in  response  to  changes  in  market  interest  rates,  changes  in the
security's  prepayment risk,  increases in loan demand,  general liquidity needs
and  other  similar  factors.  The  Company's  recent  purchases  of  investment
securities have generally been limited to securities of high credit quality with
short to medium term maturities.

         The  following  tables  summarize  the  book  value  of  the  Company's
investment securities at the dates indicated.

Loan Portfolio

         The Company is an active  lender with a loan  portfolio  that  includes
commercial and residential  mortgages,  commercial loans,  consumer  installment
loans,   real   estate   construction   loans  and  home   equity   loans.   See
"Business-Lending   Activities."  The  Company's  lending  activity  extends  to
individuals  and small and  medium-sized  businesses  within its primary service
area which is predominately  the Peninsula  Region of Virginia.  Consistent with
its focus on providing  community-based financial services, the Company does not
attempt to diversify its loan  portfolio  geographically  by making  significant
amounts of loans to borrowers outside of its primary service area.

         Net  loans  consist  of  total  loans  minus  unearned  income  and the
allowance for loan losses. Net loans were $91.0 million at December 31, 1996, an
increase of $21.4  million from  December 31,  1995.  At December 31, 1995,  net
loans were $69.6 million, which was an increase over 1994 of approximately $16.0
million.

         The following  table  summarizes  the Company's  loan portfolio for the
periods indicated.

Asset Quality

         There were no loans at December 31, 1996, 1995 or 1994, 90 days or more
past due that were not on  nonaccrual  status or  adequately  secured and in the
process  of  collection.  The  Company  discontinues  accrual of  interest  when
reasonable  doubt  exists  about the full and timely  collection  of interest or
principal.  When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, all interest  previously
accrued but not collected is reversed  against current period  interest  income.
Income on such loans is then recognized only to the extent that cash is received
and where the future collection of principal is probable.  Interest accruals are
resumed on such loans only when they are brought  fully  current with respect to
interest and principal and when, in the judgment of  management,  the loans have
demonstrated a new period of improved  performance and are estimated to be fully
collectible as to both principal and interest.

         There were no restructured  loans at December 31, 1996,  1995, or 1994.
Restructured loans are defined as those loans on which concessions in terms have
been granted because of a borrower's financial difficulty.

         The following table  summarizes  non-performing  assets for the periods
indicated.

</TABLE>

         As to the  nonaccrual  loans at December  31,  1996  referred to above,
approximately  $9,200 of interest  income would have been  recorded  during such
period if the loans had been current and the interest thereon had been accrued.

         During  1996 the  Company  provided  $380,000  to the  reserve for loan
losses.  This  represents an increase of $92,000 over 1995. At year-end 1996 the
allowance equaled $1.1 million,  or 1.2% of outstanding loans. Loans past due 30
days or  more  and  still  accruing  interest  totaled  $2.1  million  (2.3%  of
outstanding loans) compared to 1.6% at December 31, 1995.  Non-performing  loans
at year-end  1996  totaled  $190,000.  Net  charge-offs  for 1996 were  $134,000
compared  to  $135,000  in 1995.  Credit  decisions  continue to be based on the
borrower's cash flow, the value of underlying  collateral,  and the integrity of
the borrower. In the opinion of management,  the provision charged to operations
has been sufficient to absorb the current year's potential net loan losses while
continuing  to increase  the  allowance  for loan losses as the  Company's  loan
portfolio increases.

</TABLE>

         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 Company's loan portfolio in light of economic conditions,  changes
in the nature and value of the portfolio,  industry standards and other relevant
factors.  Specific  factors  considered by management in determining the amounts
charged to operations include internally generated loan review reports, previous
loan loss  experience  with the  borrower,  the status of past due  interest and
principal payments on the loan, the quality of financial information supplied by
the borrower and the general financial condition of the borrower.

Allocation of the Allowance for Loan Losses

         A  breakdown  of the  allowance  for loan  losses  is  provided  in the
following table.  However, such a breakdown has not historically been maintained
by the  Company  and  management  does not  believe  that the  allowance  can be
fragmented  by  category  with a degree  of  precision  that  would be useful to
investors.  Due to the relatively small amounts of net loan losses over the past
three years,  the breakdown of the allowance for loan losses is based  primarily
upon those factors discussed above in computing the allowance for loan losses as
a whole.  Because all of these  factors are subject to change,  the breakdown is
not  necessarily  indicative of the character of future loan losses.  The entire
amount of the  allowance  is  available to absorb  losses in any  category.  The
allowance is  allocated  below based  primarily on the relative  percent of loan
losses in each category, which represents the expected and provided for inherent
losses in the portfolio. In 1997, the Company intends to implement a loan review
process,  which will be performed by an individual not involved in the Company's
lending  operations.  The objective of the loan review process will be to assign
every loan a credit quality rating,


                                      -16-

thereby  enabling  management  to  better  assess  the risk of loss  within  the
Company's loan portfolio and to create a more accurate  relationship between the
allowance for loan losses and categories of loans.

Non-interest Income

         Total non-interest  income in 1996 was $624,000,  a 30.8% increase over
the previous year. The primary source of non-interest  income is service charges
and fees related to deposit accounts.  Certain fees were increased in the second
half of 1996,  but their  beneficial  impact was not material for the year.  All
service fees are reviewed  frequently for the possibility of upward  adjustment.
The Company, however, strives to charge consistently lower service fees than its
competition.

Non-interest Expense

         Total non-interest  expense of $4.2 million in 1996 represented a 20.0%
increase  over $3.5  million  in 1995.  The  impact of staff  increases  for the
Company's fifth branch office began late in the fourth quarter of 1996, but will
have a more significant effect in 1997. The 1996 increase compared well with the
40.9% increase  between 1994 and 1995. The primary cause for increase  continues
to be personnel  expenses.  Other personnel related expenses include  furniture,
fixtures and computer  equipment related to increasing numbers of employees late
in the fourth  quarter of 1996.  The increase  from 1994 to 1995 was  associated
with opening the Bank's fourth office in June 1995.  With no new offices  opened
until late 1996,  non-interest  expense grew at a lesser rate than total assets,
an  indication  of  operational  efficiencies.  The extended  hours of operation
offered  by the Bank  have  required  and will  continue  to  require  expensive
staffing.  However, the Company believes that its commitment to customer service
has enabled it to compete  effectively  against  larger  statewide  and regional
banks.

Deposits

         The  Company's  primary  source  of funds is  deposit  accounts,  which
include  demand  deposits,  savings  and money  market  accounts  and other time
deposits.  The Company's  deposits are provided by  individuals  and  businesses
located within the communities served.

         As shown below,  average total  deposits grew by 26.8% during 1996 from
$81.1 million to $102.8 million.  Total deposits were $120.5 million at December
31, 1996,  $94.1  million at December 31, 1995 and $71.5 million at December 31,
1994.  The average  aggregate  interest rate paid on deposits was 4.23% in 1996,
compared to 4.27% for 1995 and 3.50% for 1994.

         To the extent that  deposits  grow faster than loans,  the Company will
use these excess  funds for  investment  securities  and other  earning  assets.
Management  will seek to control the growth of deposits in any new branches,  as
it  does  in its  current  operations,  through  interest  rate  management  and
marketing.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

         An assessment of the Company's  capital adequacy depends on a number of
factors such as asset  quality,  liquidity,  earnings  performance  and changing
competitive  conditions  and economic  forces.  The Company  seeks to maintain a
strong capital base to support its growth and expansion  activities,  to provide
stability to current operations and to promote public confidence.

         The Company's capital position continues to exceed regulatory minimums.
The  primary  indicators  relied  on by  the  Federal  Reserve  and  other  bank
regulators  in  measuring  strength of capital  position are the Tier 1 Capital,
Total  Capital  and  Leverage  ratios.  Tier 1 Capital  consists  of common  and
qualifying preferred stockholders' equity less goodwill.  Total Capital consists
of Tier 1 Capital,  qualifying  subordinated debt and a portion of the allowance
for loan losses.  Risk-based  capital  ratios are  calculated  with reference to
risk-weighted  assets which consist of both on and off-balance  sheet risks. See
"Business-Supervision and Regulation--Capital."

         Liquidity is provided through several sources.  The source most readily
convertible  to cash is "Federal  funds sold," or the  overnight  sale of excess
reserves to other banks. The Company has adopted policy and procedure guidelines
to comply with  Regulation F of the Board of  Governors  of the Federal  Reserve
System regarding interbank  liabilities risk, limiting the Company's exposure to
credit risk in its dealing  with  correspondent  banks.  Sales of Federal  funds
averaged $4.2 million during 1996,  down 34.4% from the $6.4 million  average of
1995.  Additional liquidity exists within the Company's investment account where
$120,000 of securities  mature within ninety days and $4.8 million of securities
are callable within three months. The Company also maintains  confirmed lines of
credit with its primary correspondent banks to purchase Federal funds in amounts
up to $5.4 million.  The Company's  ability to satisfy credit  demands,  routine
deposit   withdrawals,   and  other  corporate  needs  is  considered  adequate.
Management is not aware of any known trends, demands,  events,  commitments,  or
uncertainties  that either will result or reasonably  might result in a material
decrease in liquidity.

Effects of Inflation

         Interest rates are affected by inflation,  but the timing and magnitude
of the  changes may not  coincide  with  changes in the  consumer  price  index.
Management  actively monitors  interest rate sensitivity,  as illustrated by the
Gap  Analysis,  in order to  minimize  the  effects  of  inflationary  trends on
interest  rates.  Other  areas of  non-interest  expenses  may be more  directly
affected by inflation.


                                    BUSINESS
General

         The Company is chartered under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia
and  headquartered in Gloucester,  Virginia.  The Company is the holding company
for the Bank,  which operates five  full-service  banking offices in Gloucester,
Charles City County, Williamsburg,  Newport News and Glenns (northern Gloucester
County).  The Bank opened for  business in 1989 and at December  31,  1996,  the
Company had grown to $136.4  million in assets,  $120.5  million in deposits and
$14.4 million in stockholders' equity.

         The Bank is a  community-oriented  bank that  provides a broad range of
banking  services to small and medium sized  businesses and individuals  located
within its market area. These services include free consumer checking  accounts,
commercial   checking  accounts,   savings  programs,   money  market  accounts,
certificates  of  deposit,   safe  deposit   facilities  and  automated   teller
facilities.  Lending services include a variety of commercial, real estate, term
and installment  loans and consumer loan programs.  Business lending  emphasizes
local  companies  seeking  credit  for  working  capital  and  the  purchase  of
equipment,  and on a term basis for  physical  facilities.  Real estate  lending
emphasizes  single family  residential  activity and includes  home  improvement
loans,  construction  lending,  and home equity  lines of credit.  The Bank also
offers  credit  cards and  related  services  to both  individual  and  merchant
accounts.


                                      -19-
<PAGE>

         The Bank offers a wide range of deposit accounts,  including individual
and commercial demand accounts,  statement savings,  interest checking and money
market savings accounts,  and fixed rate, fixed term  certificates.  Each of the
Bank's  offices offer  extended  lobby and drive-in hours and a 24 hour ATM. The
Bank also offers  traveler's  checks,  cashier's  checks and money orders,  U.S.
savings bonds and withholding tax depository services.

         The Bank strives to provide its customers  with the breadth of products
and services comparable to a regional bank, while maintaining the quick response
and high level of service of a community  bank. To implement this strategy,  the
Company  maintains an experienced,  highly-trained  professional  staff.  Senior
management has an average of 26 years of banking experience.

         The  Company  intends to  strengthen  the Bank's  position as a leading
community  bank in the  Peninsula  Region of Virginia by building a strong local
ownership  base and by  further  developing  a  community-based  branch  banking
network.  The Bank's  identity  as a  community-oriented  bank also  defines its
strategy  for  growth.   Management  believes  that  the  general  trend  toward
consolidation  of the banking  industry in the Bank's  market area has created a
niche for  community-based  lenders  emphasizing  smaller loans. To exploit this
niche,  management  intends to continue to develop  its  community-based  branch
banking network in the Peninsula Region.

         The Company had 903  shareholders  of record as of December  31,  1996,
approximately 95% of whom reside in Virginia.

Market Area

         The Company's market area is in the Peninsula Region of Virginia, which
lies east of  Richmond,  north of the James River and south of the  Rappahannock
River.  The  principal  office  of the  Company  and the Bank is in  Gloucester,
Virginia,  while the Bank has  branch  offices  in Glenns  (northern  Gloucester
County), Charles City County and the cities of Newport News and Williamsburg.

         Gloucester  County is  primarily a  residential  area with a work force
commuting to other cities and counties. The seafood industry and farming are the
primary local  industries.  The company's offices in Gloucester County also draw
customers from the adjacent counties of Mathews, Middlesex and King & Queen.

         The market area  served by the Bank's  Williamsburg  branch  office has
been  identified as primarily the City of  Williamsburg  and James City and York
Counties.  The City of  Williamsburg is comprised of  approximately  nine square
miles and is bordered by York County to the north and east and James City County
to the south and west. The population of Williamsburg was approximately  _______
as of 199_,  with  approximately  ______ people in the general trade area of the
branch.

         The Bank's  Charles City County  branch  office  primarily  serves that
county.  In addition,  this branch  attracts  business  from the New Kent County
market.  Both of these  communities  are rural in  nature.  The Bank is the only
financial institution operating in Charles City County.

         The Newport News office opened in 1995. Newport News, which lies to the
southeast of  Williamsburg,  has a population  of  approximately  175,000 and is
dominated by the ship building, technology and manufacturing industries.

Future Plans

         The Company plans to begin construction of a permanent building for its
Newport  News branch  office  during the first half of 1997.  The branch will be
located at the corner of Thimble Shoals  Boulevard and J. Clyde Morris Boulevard
near the entrance to the Oyster Point  Industrial Park. The Company acquired the
land  for  its  permanent  Newport  News  branch  site  in  1996  at a  cost  of
approximately $620,000.  Construction costs for the branch building are expected
to be approximately $850,000. The current operations for the Newport News branch
are  conducted in rented  office  space,  with a lease that has an expiration of
October 1998.

         The Company plans to establish a branch office in Hampton,  Virginia to
complement its Newport News office and is currently  evaluating available sites.
Hampton  lies  immediately  to the east of  Newport  News.  Although  plans  are
incomplete  and subject to change,  it is the Company's  desire to open a branch
office  in  Hampton,  Virginia  in the  second  half of  1998.  There  can be no
assurance  that the Company will be able to open this branch in accordance  with
its current plans.

Lending Activities

         The Bank's  lending  efforts are directed  primarily to making loans to
individuals  and  businesses  in its market area.  Consistent  with its focus on
providing  community banking  services,  the Bank has not attempted to diversify
its loan  portfolio  geographically  by making  significant  amounts of loans to
borrowers  outside its primary  market area.  The Bank's legal lending limit was
approximately  $2.2  million at December 31,  1996.  The Bank had  approximately
$13.0 million in loan commitments outstanding at December 31, 1996.

         Commercial  Business  Lending.  The  Bank's  commercial  loans are made
primarily to service, retail and wholesale businesses for a variety of purposes,
including  short-term working capital loans, term loans and equipment  financing
loans.  Pricing of commercial  business  loans is tied to the  prevailing  prime
interest rate, at a factor over prime. Pricing decisions in individual cases are
based on perceived  credit risk and  anticipated  administrative  costs.  To the
extent  permissible,  pricing on  commercial  loans also takes into  account any
depository  relationship between the borrower and the Bank which, in many cases,
can provide for a stable lending and depository  relationship.  Commercial loans
were $10.3 million, or 11.1% of total loans at December 31, 1996.

         Commercial  business loans  generally have a higher degree of risk than
residential  mortgage  loans,  but  also  offer  commensurately  higher  yields.
Although the Bank typically  looks to the borrower's  cash flow as the principal
source  of  repayment  for such  loans,  the  large  majority  of the  Company's
commercial  loans  are  secured  by  assets,  such  as  real  estate,   accounts
receivable,  inventory,  and  other  forms of  collateral.  Real  estate  is the
predominant  type of collateral for the Bank's business loans. In addition,  the
Bank's commercial loans are generally personally guaranteed by the principals of
the business.

         Commercial Mortgage and Construction Lending. Commercial mortgage loans
were $19.6  million,  or 21.2% of total loans at December 31, 1996,  compared to
$10.6  million or 14.9% of total loans at December  31,  1995.  In recent  years
larger banks in the  Company's  market area have  demonstrated  less interest in
commercial  mortgage lending,  which has led to increased  opportunities for the
Company to originate  loans of this type.  The increase in  commercial  mortgage
loans in 1996 was not a  result  of a  deliberate  strategy  to seek  additional
credits in this category.  The Bank operates under strict guidelines  associated
with commercial  mortgages.  Loans of $250,000 or greater require full certified
commercial  appraisals,  complete with environmental impact studies.  Loans must
not exceed 75% of appraised value. The Company's  commercial  mortgage loans are
predominantly owner-occupied properties and are not for speculative purposes. In
general,  the Bank does not originate  permanent  mortgage loans or construction
loans on income  producing  properties  such as  apartments,  shopping  centers,
hotels or office buildings that are not owner-occupied.

         At December 31, 1996,  real estate  construction  loans  comprised $6.9
million,  or 7.5%, of total loans.  The majority of  construction  loans are for
one-family  residences that are either pre-sold or contract homes with permanent
financing  pre-arranged.  The Bank's construction loans for residential purposes
are  limited  to  situations  where the  borrower  has a  pre-approved  take-out
commitment  for permanent  financing.  The Bank also obtains a first lien on the
security  property as collateral for its construction  loans. The Bank primarily
limits its lending activities to borrowers with demonstrated  financial strength
and  makes  speculative  construction  loans  only on a  limited  basis to local
builders. As a result of the Bank's strict underwriting  standards,  the Company
has experienced modest losses involving its construction loan portfolio.

         Commercial   mortgage  and  construction   lending  entail  significant
additional  risk as  compared  with  residential  mortgage  lending.  Commercial
mortgage and  construction  loans can involve larger loan balances  concentrated
with single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. Construction loans involve
additional risks  attributable to the fact that loan funds are advanced upon the
security of the home under  construction,  which is of uncertain  value prior to
the  completion  of  construction.  Thus,  it  is  more  difficult  to  evaluate
accurately  the total loan funds  required  to  complete a project  and  related
loan-to-value  ratios. To minimize risks associated with  construction  lending,
the Bank  limits loan  amounts to 80% of  appraised  value on pre-sold  homes in
addition to its usual credit analysis of its borrowers.  The Bank also obtains a
first lien on the property as security for its construction  loans. In addition,
the  payment  experience  on loans  secured by income  producing  properties  is
typically  dependent  on the  successful  operation  of the related  real estate
project and thus may be subject,  to a greater extent, to adverse  conditions in
the real estate market or the economy generally.

         Residential  Mortgage  Lending.  The Company's  residential real estate
loan portfolio,  which includes home equity lines, comprised approximately $34.4
million, or 37.1%, of total loans at December 31, 1996. The residential mortgage
loans made by the Bank have a fixed interest rate for no more than 36 months and
are limited to single family, owner-occupied residences within the Bank's market
area.  Additionally,  residential  mortgage  loans  are not made  for  principal
amounts exceeding 80% of the appraised value of the underlying real estate.

         Consumer Lending. The Bank currently offers most types of consumer time
and installment  loans,  including  automobile loans and consumer credit through
its Visa and  Mastercard  programs  and its  overdraft  protection  program.  At
December 31, 1996, the Company's installment loans comprised approximately $20.9
million, or 22.5%, of the total loan portfolio.  The performance of the consumer
loan  portfolio  is directly  tied to and  dependent  upon the general  economic
conditions in the Company's market area.

         Credit  Policies  and  Loan  Administration.  The Bank  has  adopted  a
comprehensive lending policy which includes underwriting standards for all types
of loans and pricing guidelines.  The Bank's policy specifies "permitted" loans,
as well as  "undesirable  and prohibited"  loans.  Collateral  requirements  and
maturity  limits also are  addressed.  In an effort to manage  risk,  all credit
decisions are made  according to prescribed  lending  authorities  for each loan
officer  and the  Loan  Committee  of the  Board  of  Directors.  These  lending
authorities are approved by the full Board.

         The Bank's loan approval policies provide for various levels of officer
lending  authority.  When the aggregate  outstanding  loans to a single borrower
exceed an  individual  officer's  lending  authority  the loan  request  must be
approved by an officer with a higher  lending limit or by the Loan  Committee of
the Board. The Bank has assigned a lending limit for the Committee.  Loans which
would exceed the  committee's  assigned limit also must be approved by the Board
of Directors.

         The Loan Committee of the Board of Directors  meets monthly unless more
frequent meetings are necessary.  Mr.  Farinholt,  who also serves as the Bank's
Senior Lending Officer, is not a member of the Loan Committee.  Mr. Smith, whose
primary  responsibilities  do not include loan  origination,  is a member of the
Loan Committee.

         To promote the Company's business, the Bank has local boards associated
with its branch offices in  Williamsburg,  Newport News and Charles City County.
Each local board has a local loan committee. The Williamsburg,  Newport News and
Charles  City local loan  committees  have the  authority to approve real estate
loans up to $350,000, $400,000 and $250,000, respectively. Lesser lending limits
apply to loans  that are  unsecured  or secured  by  collateral  other than real
estate.  Either Mr.  Farinholt or Mr. Smith  attends each local board meeting at
which local loan committee actions are reviewed,  but neither is a member of any
local loan committee. Loans approved by the local loan committees,  within their
respective lending limits, are reviewed, but are not normally re-approved by the
Loan Committee of the Board of Directors.

         All loans to a particular  borrower are reviewed each time the borrower
requests a renewal or extension of any loan or requests an additional  loan. All
lines of credit are reviewed prior to renewal.

Competition

         In its market area, the Company is subject to intense  competition from
a number of local, regional and superregional banking organizations,  along with
other financial  institutions and companies that offer financial services,  such
as savings and loan associations,  credit unions,  industrial loan associations,
securities firms, insurance companies, small loan companies,  finance companies,
mortgage  companies and other financial service  enterprises.  Competition among
financial institutions is based upon interest rates offered on deposit accounts,
interest  rates  charged on loans and other  credit  and  service  charges,  the
quality of services rendered,  the convenience of banking facilities and, in the
case  of  loans  to  larger  borrowers,  relative  lending  limits.  Many of the
financial  organizations  in  competition  with the  Company  have much  greater
financial  resources  and larger branch  networks  than the Company.  Certain of
these  institutions have  significantly  higher lending limits than the Bank and
may provide various services for their customers,  such as trust services, which
the Bank does not  presently  offer to customers.  In addition,  there can be no
assurance that additional  financial  institutions,  with substantially  greater
resources than the Company,  will not establish operations in the Bank's service
area.

         The  Company  is  one  of  11  banking  institutions  with  offices  in
Gloucester  County,  Williamsburg  or Newport  News.  It is the only  depository
institution  with a branch office in Charles City County.  At June 30, 1996, the
Bank held  approximately  23.0% of the total bank deposits in Gloucester County,
100% in Charles City County and approximately  8.1% and 1.0%,  respectively,  in
the cities of Williamsburg and Newport News.

         The Bank has enjoyed an  excellent  response  from the  communities  in
which it has  opened  offices.  Management  feels  this  success  is due to many
factors, including modern and well located branch offices, extended lobby hours,
Saturday lobby hours, and ATMs which are actively utilized by both customers and
non-customers  of the Bank.  The Bank  pays  competitive  interest  rates on its
deposits.

Employees

         As of December 31, 1996, the Company employed a total of 99 individuals
on  a  full-time  basis,  including  its  three  executive  officers,  and  nine
individuals on a part-time basis. None of the Company's employees is represented
by a union or covered by a collective bargaining agreement. Management considers
employee relations to be good.

Properties

         The  Company's  headquarters  is  located  at  7171  George  Washington
Memorial  Highway.  The  property  was  purchased  by the  Company  at a cost of
$255,000.  The total  capitalized cost of the building and land  improvements is
$680,000.

         The  Williamsburg  branch office is located at 1031 Richmond  Road. The
total  capitalized  cost of the building and land  improvements is approximately
$610,000.

         The Charles City County  branch  office is located at 10000  Courthouse
Road on  approximately  1.7 acres in  Charles  City  County.  The  property  was
purchased by the Company at a cost of $27,000. The total capitalized cost of the
building and land improvements is approximately $663,000.

         The  Newport  News  branch  office is  located  in the  Newport  Square
Shopping Center across from the Oyster Point  Industrial Park. The branch office
was leased and was already equipped for bank operations.  The Company has leased
the office for a term of three and one half years.  The  Company  plans to begin
construction  of a permanent  building for its Newport News branch office during
the first  half of 1997.  The  branch  will be  located at the corner of Thimble
Shoals  Boulevard and J. Clyde Morris  Boulevard near the entrance to the Oyster
Point Industrial  Park. The Company acquired the land for its permanent  Newport
News branch site in 1996 at a cost of approximately $620,000. Construction costs
for the branch building are expected to be approximately $850,000.

         In January  1997,  the Company  opened a fifth branch  office at Glenns
(northern  Gloucester  County).  The  office  is on a 43 acre site that the Bank
acquired in 1996 at a cost of  $312,000.  Building  improvements  for the Glenns
branch office  totaled  approximately  $1.2  million.  The 43 acre site has been
subdivided and the Company intends to market the portion of the property that is
not used for Bank branch operations.

Legal Proceedings

         The Company is a party to various legal  proceedings  from time to time
in the ordinary course of business.  Based upon information currently available,
management believes that such legal proceedings,  if determined adversely to the
Company,  would not have a material  adverse  effect on the Company's  business,
financial position or results of operations.

Supervision and Regulation

         The  discussion  below  is only a  summary  of the  principal  laws and
regulations that comprise the regulatory framework applicable to the Company and
the  Bank.  The  descriptions  of  these  laws  and  regulations,   as  well  as
descriptions of laws and regulations  contained elsewhere herein, do not purport
to be complete and are  qualified in their  entirety by reference to  applicable
laws and regulations.

         As a bank holding  company,  The Company is subject to regulation under
the  Bank  Holding  Company  Act of  1956  (as  amended,  the  "BHCA")  and  the
examination and reporting  requirements of the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve  System (the "Federal  Reserve  Board").  Under the BHCA, a bank holding
company may not directly or indirectly acquire ownership or control of more than
5% of the voting  shares or  substantially  all of the assets of any  additional
bank or merge or consolidate with another bank holding company without the prior
approval  of the  Federal  Reserve  Board.  The BHCA also  generally  limits the
activities of a bank holding company to that of banking, managing or controlling
banks,  or any other  activity  which is determined to be so closely  related to
banking or to managing or  controlling  banks that an  exception  is allowed for
those activities.

         As  a  state-chartered   bank,  the  Bank  is  subject  to  regulation,
supervision  and  examination  by the Virginia  State  Corporation  Commission's
Bureau of Financial  Institutions (the "Virginia SCC"). The Bank is also subject
to regulation,  supervision and examination by the Federal Reserve Board and the
Federal Deposit Insurance  Corporation (the "FDIC").  State and federal law also
govern the activities in which the Bank may engage,  the investments it may make
and the aggregate  amount of loans that may be granted to one borrower.  Various
consumer and compliance laws and regulations also affect the Bank's operations.

         The earnings of the Bank,  and  therefore  the earnings of the Company,
are  affected  by  general  economic  conditions,  management  policies  and the
legislative  and  governmental   actions  of  various  regulatory   authorities,
including those referred to above. The following description  summarizes some of
the state and federal laws to which the Company and the Bank are subject.

         The  Virginia  SCC and the Federal  Reserve  Bank of  Richmond  conduct
regular examinations of the Bank, reviewing such matters as the adequacy of loan
loss  reserves,   quality  of  loans  and  investments,   management  practices,
compliance  with laws,  and other  aspects of their  operations.  In addition to
these  regular  examinations,  the Bank must  furnish the  Virginia  SCC and the
Federal Reserve with periodic reports  containing a full and accurate  statement
of its  affairs.  Supervision,  regulation  and  examination  of  banks by these
agencies are intended  primarily for the  protection  of depositors  rather than
shareholders.

         Insurance of Accounts,  Assessments  and  Regulation  by the FDIC.  The
deposits  of the Bank are  insured by the FDIC up to the limits set forth  under
applicable  law. The  deposits of the Bank are subject to the deposit  insurance
assessments of the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") of the FDIC.

         For the semi-annual  period beginning  January 1, 1997, the assessments
imposed on all FDIC  deposits  for  deposit  insurance  have an  effective  rate
ranging from 0 to 27 basis points per $100 of insured deposits, depending on the
institution's capital position and other supervisory factors.  However,  because
the legislation enacted in 1996 requires that both Savings Association Insurance
Fund  ("SAIF")  insured and  BIF-insured  deposits pay a pro rata portion of the
interest due on the obligations  issued by the Financing  Corporation  ("FICO"),
the FDIC is assessing  BIF-insured  deposits an additional 1.30 basis points per
$100 of deposits to cover those obligations.

         The FDIC is authorized  to prohibit any  BIF-insured  institution  from
engaging in any activity that the FDIC determines by regulation or order to pose
a serious threat to the respective  insurance fund.  Also, the FDIC may initiate
enforcement actions against banks, after first giving the institution's  primary
regulatory  authority an opportunity to take such action. The FDIC may terminate
the deposit  insurance of any depository  institution if it determines,  after a
hearing,  that the  institution  has engaged or is engaging in unsafe or unsound
practices,  is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations,  or has
violated any  applicable  law,  regulation,  order or any  condition  imposed in
writing by the FDIC. It also may suspend deposit  insurance  temporarily  during
the  hearing  process  for  the  permanent  termination  of  insurance,  if  the
institution has no tangible  capital.  If deposit  insurance is terminated,  the
deposits  at the  institution  at  the  time  of  termination,  less  subsequent
withdrawals,  shall  continue  to be insured for a period from six months to two
years,  as  determined  by  the  FDIC.   Management  is  aware  of  no  existing
circumstances that could result in termination of deposit insurance of the Bank.

         Capital.  The Federal Reserve Board has issued  risk-based and leverage
capital guidelines applicable to banking organizations they supervise. Under the
risk-based  capital  requirements,  the Company and the Banks are each generally
required to maintain a minimum  ratio of total capital to  risk-weighted  assets
(including  certain  off-balance  sheet  activities,  such as standby letters of
credit),  of 8%. At least half of the total  capital is to be composed of common
equity, retained earnings and qualifying perpetual preferred stock, less certain
intangibles   ("Tier  1  capital").   The   remainder  may  consist  of  certain
subordinated  debt,  certain hybrid  capital  instruments  and other  qualifying
preferred  stock  and a  limited  amount  of the loan  loss  allowance  ("Tier 2
capital" and, together with Tier 1 capital,  "total  capital").  At December 31,
1996,  the  Company's  Tier 1 capital and total  capital  ratios were 12.17% and
15.00%, respectively,  and the Tier 1 and total capital ratios for the Bank were
also 12.17% and 15.00%, respectively.

         In  addition,  each  of  the  Federal  bank  regulatory  agencies  have
established   minimum   leverage   capital   ratio   requirements   for  banking
organizations. These requirements provide for a minimum leverage ratio of Tier 1
capital to  adjusted  average  quarterly  assets  equal to 3% for banks and bank
holding companies that meet certain specified criteria. All other banks and bank
holding  companies will generally be required to maintain a leverage ratio of at
least 100 to 200 basis points above the stated minimum.  The Company's  leverage
ratio at December 31, 1996 was 11.41%,  and the Bank's  leverage  ratio was also
11.41%.

         The  risk-based   capital   standards  of  the  Federal  Reserve  Board
explicitly  identify  concentrations  of credit risk and the risk  arising  from
non-traditional  activities, as well as an institution's ability to manage these
risks, as important  factors to be taken into account by the agency in assessing
an institution's  overall capital adequacy.  The capital guidelines also provide
that an institution's exposure to a decline in the economic value of its capital
due to  changes in  interest  rates be  considered  by the agency as a factor in
evaluating  a bank's  capital  adequacy.  The  Federal  Reserve  Board  also has
recently issued  additional  capital  guidelines for bank holding companies that
engage in certain trading activities.

         Other  Safety  and  Soundness  Regulations.   There  are  a  number  of
obligations  and  restrictions  imposed  on bank  holding  companies  and  their
depository  institution  subsidiaries by Federal law and regulatory  policy that
are  designed  to reduce  potential  loss  exposure  to the  depositors  of such
depository  institutions  and to the  FDIC  insurance  funds  in the  event  the
depository  institution  becomes  in danger of  default  or is in  default.  For
example,  under a policy of the  Federal  Reserve  Board  with  respect  to bank
holding  company  operations,  a bank holding  company is required to serve as a
source of financial  strength to its subsidiary  depository  institutions and to
commit resources to support such  institutions in  circumstances  where it might
not do so otherwise.  In addition,  the "cross-guarantee"  provisions of Federal
law require insured  depository  institutions  under common control to reimburse
the FDIC for any loss suffered or reasonably  anticipated  by either the SAIF or
the BIF as a result of the default of a commonly  controlled  insured depository
institution or for any assistance  provided by the FDIC to a commonly controlled
insured  depository  institution  in danger of default.  The FDIC may decline to
enforce the  cross-guarantee  provision if it determines that a waiver is in the
best  interests  of  the  SAIF  or  the  BIF  or  both.  The  FDIC's  claim  for
reimbursement  is superior to claims of shareholders  of the insured  depository
institution  or its holding  company but is subordinate to claims of depositors,
secured  creditors and holders of subordinated  debt (other than  affiliates) of
the commonly controlled insured depository institution.

         The Federal  banking  agencies  also have broad  powers  under  current
Federal  law to take  prompt  corrective  action to resolve  problems of insured
depository  institutions.  The extent of these  powers  depends upon whether the
institution   in   question   is   well-capitalized,   adequately   capitalized,
undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized or critically undercapitalized,
as defined by the law. As of December  31,  1996,  the Company and the Bank were
classified as well-capitalized.

         State regulatory  authorities also have broad  enforcement  powers over
the  Bank,  including  the power to impose  fines and other  civil and  criminal
penalties, and to appoint a receiver in order to conserve the assets of any such
institution for the benefit of depositors and other creditors.

         Payment of  Dividends.  The  Company  is a legal  entity  separate  and
distinct from the Bank. Virtually all of the revenues of the Company result from
dividends  paid to the  Company  by the Bank.  The Bank also is subject to state
laws that  limit the  amount of  dividends  it can pay.  In  addition,  both the
Company and the Bank are subject to various general regulatory policies relating
to the payment of dividends, including requirements to maintain adequate capital
above regulatory minimums.  The Federal Reserve Board has indicated that banking
organizations  should generally pay dividends only if (1) the organization's net
income available to common  shareholders  over the past year has been sufficient
to fund fully the dividends and (2) the prospective  rate of earnings  retention
appears  consistent  with the  organization's  capital needs,  asset quality and
overall financial



                                      -25-
<PAGE>

condition.  The Company does not expect that any of these laws,  regulations  or
policies will materially impact the ability of the Bank to pay dividends.

         Community Reinvestment.  The requirements of the Community Reinvestment
Act  ("CRA")  are also  applicable  to the Bank.  The CRA  imposes on  financial
institutions an affirmative  and ongoing  obligation to meet the credit needs of
their  local  communities,  including  low and  moderate  income  neighborhoods,
consistent with the safe and sound operation of those institutions.  A financial
institution's  efforts in meeting community credit needs currently are evaluated
as part of the examination process pursuant to twelve assessment factors.  These
factors also are considered in evaluating mergers, acquisitions and applications
to open a branch or facility.  To the best  knowledge of the Bank, it is meeting
its obligations under the CRA. The Bank's CRA rating is "satisfactory".

         Interstate  Banking  and  Branching.  Current  Federal  law  authorizes
interstate  acquisitions of banks and bank holding companies without  geographic
limitation.  Effective June 1, 1997, a bank  headquartered  in one state will be
authorized  to merge  with a bank  headquartered  in another  state,  as long as
neither of the states has opted out of such interstate merger authority prior to
such date.  States are authorized to enact laws  permitting such interstate bank
merger  transactions  prior to June 1, 1997,  as well as  authorizing  a bank to
establish  "de novo"  interstate  branches.  Virginia has enacted early "opt in"
laws,  permitting   interstate  bank  merger  transactions.   Once  a  bank  has
established  branches in a state through an interstate merger  transaction,  the
bank may establish and acquire additional  branches at any location in the state
where a bank  headquartered  in that state  could have  established  or acquired
branches under applicable Federal or state law.

         Economic  and  Monetary  Polices.  The  operations  of the  Company are
affected not only by general economic  conditions,  but also by the economic and
monetary policies of various regulatory authorities.  In particular, the Federal
Reserve regulates money, credit and interest rates in order to influence general
economic  conditions.  These  policies have a  significant  influence on overall
growth and  distribution of loans,  investments and deposits and affect interest
rates charged on loans or paid for time and savings  deposits.  Federal  Reserve
monetary  policies  have had a significant  effect on the  operating  results of
commercial  banks in the  past  and are  expected  to  continue  to do so in the
future.


                                   MANAGEMENT

         The Board of Directors.  The Board of Directors is responsible  for the
overall  performance of the Company and for  establishing  Company  policy.  The
Board establishes the compensation of all executive  officers.  Regular meetings
of the Board are held each month. The Board held 16 meetings in 1996,  including
the  organizational  meeting in June and three special  meetings.  Each Director
attended at least 75% of the total  number of meetings of the Board and meetings
of committees of which the director was a member in 1996.

         Board Committees.  The Company's bylaws provide for one permanent
standing committee, the Audit Committee, the principal responsibilities of which
are described below.

         The Audit  Committee meets on an on call basis as needed. The Committee
met six  times in 1996.  Members  of the  committee  include  Thomas  Z.  Wilke,
Chairman,  Charles F. Bristow,  Charles F. Dawson,  Robert D. Foster,  Jeanne P.
Hockaday and Joseph A. Lombard,  Jr., DDS. The Audit Committee recommends to the
Board the  appointment  of a firm to serve as independent  auditors,  subject to
ratification by the Board and the Shareholders at the Annual Meeting.

         The  Company  does  not  have a  standing  Nomination  or  Compensation
Committee.

         The Chairman of the Board is an ex-officio member of all committees.

Officer of the  Company  and the Bank since  1988.  He has more than 25 years of
banking experience.  He was employed as a bank examiner with the Virginia Bureau

College.  He has also been active in many civic and  religious  activities.  Mr.
Farinholt  was  born in  Gloucester  County  and has a  broad  knowledge  of the
Company's general trade area.

         Kenneth  E.  Smith  has  served  as  Executive  Vice  President,  Chief
Administrative  and Chief  Financial  Officer of the Company and the Bank,  with
primary  oversight of the  Company's  operations,  since 1988.  Mr. Smith has 23
years of  banking  experience.  Prior to  joining  the  Company,  he  served  as
Compliance Officer and Auditor with Citizens and Farmers Bank, West Point. Prior
to that he spent 11 years as a commercial bank examiner with the Federal Reserve
Bank of Richmond.  He served for two years with The Colonial  Bank of Providence
Forge,  Virginia.  Before  that he worked as an  internal  auditor  with  United
Virginia Bank and as a teller with Second National Bank, Richmond,  Virginia. He

                                      -28-
<PAGE>


         Kathleen C. Healy,  age 36, serves as Vice President,  Chief Accounting
Officer and Secretary of the Company.  Ms. Healy works in  conjunction  with the
Chief  Administrative  Officer  having more  specific  oversight  of the overall
accounting  area,  including  the accuracy of financial  records and  regulatory
financial  reporting.  Prior to  joining  the  Company,  she  served  as  office
supervisor and insurance producer with an independent  insurance agency. She has
approximately seven years of banking  experience.  She has attended the Virginia
Bankers  School  of Bank  Management  and she is a  graduate  of the  School  of
Business Administration at the University of Richmond.

         Family  Relationships.  The husband of Kathleen C. Healy,  Chief
Accounting Officer, is the nephew of Harry M. Healy, a director of the Company.

         Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance.  Section 16(a)
of the  Securities  and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the  "Exchange  Act"),
requires the Company's directors and executive officers, and any persons who own
more than 10% of Company Common Stock,  to file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission  ("SEC")  reports of  ownership  and changes in  ownership of Company
Common Stock.  Officers and directors are required by SEC  regulation to furnish
the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file.  Based solely
on review of the  copies of such  reports  furnished  to the  Company or written
representation  that no other reports were required,  the Company believes that,
during fiscal year 1996, all filing requirements  applicable to its officers and
directors were complied with except that Joseph A. Lombard,  Jr., DDS, Director,
inadvertently  filed one late report on Form 5 in  February  1997  covering  the
purchase of 125 shares of Common Stock by his son in September 1996.

         Executive  Officer   Compensation.   The  following  table  presents
information   concerning  the  annual  and  long-term  compensation  of  Messrs.

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

(1)      The value of  unexercised  in-the-money  options at fiscal year end was
         calculated by determining  the  difference  between (i) the fair market
         value of the Company  Common Stock  underlying  the options at December
         31, 1996 ($25.00 per share) and (ii) the exercise price of the options.

         Employment  Agreements.   Messrs.  Farinholt  and  Smith  entered  into
employment  agreements  with the Company  effective as of November 29, 1988. The
Agreements are general in nature and have few conditions  relative to current or
ongoing  employment  conditions.  However,  these agreements provide that in the
event the Company,  acting  through  either its  shareholders  or its Directors,
sells or disposes of the  controlling  interest in the Company to a conglomerate
or "bank holding  company" (as such term is defined in Article I of Title 6.1 of
the Code of Virginia,  as  amended),  with the result that the Company is either
50% or more owned or controlled  by such entity  (provided  that the  respective
bank officer, at the time of such transaction, is employed at either his current
position  or an equal or  higher  ranking  position  of the  Company)  each such
officer  shall be entitled to receive  from the  Company  $150,000.  Restrictive
covenants contained in each agreement require that such payment shall be paid in
addition  to any  and  all  normal  compensation  payable  at the  time  of such
transaction,  but also shall be  dependent  upon the sale  price of the  Company
being equal to at least 1.75 times the then current  "book value" of the Company
Common Stock as determined by the independent  accounting firm being utilized by
the  Company  at the time of such  sale of the  Company.  As  incentive  for the
Company's  officers to remain in the employ of the Company and as protection for
the Company from the Company's officers' leaving the Company's employ,  absent a
sale of the  Company as  defined  above,  each  agreement  provides  that if the
officer  voluntarily  leaves the employ of the Company  without  there being any
such sale of the Company,  he may not become employed with or work in any office
of any financial  institution (bank,  savings bank, savings and loan association
or credit union) that is located in Gloucester, Mathews, or Middlesex counties.

         Directors  Compensation.  Each Director was paid a fee of $300 for each
Board meeting  attended and $150 for each Board  Committee  meeting  attended in
1996. The total expense to the Company for directors fees in 1996 was $83,050.

         Interest of Management in Certain Transactions. The Company's officers,
directors and other corporations,  business organizations and persons with which
certain of the Company's officers and directors are associated  customarily have
banking  transactions  with the  Company.  During 1996 loans to related  parties
amounted to $1.0  million.  New loans made to related  parties  during this same
period totaled $918,000, with repayments of $327,000. All such transactions have
been made in the ordinary  course of business on  substantially  the same terms,
including interest rates and security for loans, as those prevailing at the time
for  comparable  transactions  with others and have not  involved  more than the
normal risk of collectibility or presented other unfavorable features.

<PAGE>


                          DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

         The Company's Articles of Incorporation  authorize 10,000,000 shares of
Common  Stock,  par  value  $5.00  of  which  944,333  shares  were  issued  and
outstanding on December 31, 1996.  There were 903  shareholders  of record as of
December 31, 1996.

         The Board of  Directors  may issue shares of its Common Stock from time
to time for such  consideration as the Board may deem advisable  without further
shareholder approval.

         The Common Stock of the Company represents  nonwithdrawable capital, is
not an account of the insurable type, and is not insured by the FDIC.

         Certain characteristics of the Common Stock are summarized below:

         Dividend Rights. The Company may pay dividends as declared from time to
time by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefore, subject
to certain  restrictions  imposed  by  federal  and state  laws.  See  "Dividend
Information."  The holders of Common Stock will be entitled to receive and share
equally in such dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors.

         Voting Rights. In all elections of directors,  each shareholder has the
right  to cast one vote for  each  share  of  Common  Stock  owned by him and is
entitled  to vote for as many  persons  as there are  directors  to be  elected.
Shareholders of the Company do not have cumulative  voting rights.  On any other
question to be  determined  by a vote of shares at any meeting of  shareholders,
each  shareholder  shall be entitled to one vote for each share of Common  Stock
owned by him and entitled to vote.

         Liquidation  Rights.  Upon liquidation, after payment of all creditors,
the remaining  assets of the Company would be  distributed to the holders of the
Common Stock on a pro rata basis.

         Preemptive  Rights.  Holders of Common Stock have no preemptive  rights
with respect to the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock.

         Calls and Assessments.  All Common Stock outstanding is fully paid and
nonassessable.

         Removal of Directors. Virginia law provides that unless a corporation's
articles of incorporation  provide  otherwise,  any Director or the entire Board
may be  removed,  with or  without  cause,  by a  majority  vote of shares at an
election of Directors. The Company's Articles of Incorporation require a vote of
more than 70% of the  outstanding  shares of Common  Stock to remove a Director.
The Company's  Articles of  Incorporation  thus preclude a third party who holds
less than 70% of the Company's  outstanding  shares from  unilaterally  removing
incumbent  Directors  and  simultaneously   gaining  control  of  the  Board  by
installing his own nominees.

         Amendment  of  Governing  Instruments.  Amendments  to the  articles of
incorporation of Virginia corporations, such as the Company, can be submitted to
the shareholders  for a vote only by the board of directors.  As a general rule,
the  Articles  of  Incorporation  of the  Company  can be amended by the vote of
holders of a majority  of the issued  and  outstanding  shares of Common  Stock.
However,  any  amendment  that is not  approved  by at least  two-thirds  of the
Directors, must be approved by holders of more than two-thirds of the issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock.

         Business  Combinations.  Under the  Articles  of  Incorporation  of the
Company, a plan of merger or share exchange or a direct or indirect sale, lease,
exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the property of the
Company not in the ordinary course of business, must be approved by holders of a
majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.  However, if such

                                  UNDERWRITING

         Subject  to the  terms and  conditions  of the  Underwriting  Agreement
between the Company and the Underwriter,  the Underwriter has agreed to purchase
from the Company and the Company has agreed to sell to the Underwriter,  130,000
shares of Common Stock.

         The  Underwriting  Agreement  provides  that  the  obligations  of  the
Underwriter  thereunder  are  subject to approval  of certain  legal  matters by
counsel  and to  various  other  conditions.  The  nature  of the  Underwriter's
obligation is such that it is committed to purchase and pay for all of the above
shares of Common Stock if any are purchased.

         The  Underwriter  proposes to offer the shares of Common Stock directly
to the public at the public  offering  price set forth on the cover page of this
Prospectus and to selected  dealers who are members of the National  Association
of  Securities  Dealers,  Inc. at such price less a concession  not in excess of
$____ per share of Common Stock.  The Underwriter  may allow,  and such selected
dealers may  reallow,  a  concession  not in excess of $____ per share of Common
Stock to certain  other dealers who are members of the National  Association  of
Securities Dealers, Inc.

         The  Underwriter has a 30-day option to purchase from the Company up to
19,500  additional shares of Common Stock to cover  over-allotments,  if any, at
the public  offering  price set forth on the cover page of the  Prospectus.  The
Underwriter  may  exercise  such  option only to cover  over-allotments  made in
connection with the sale of the Common Stock offered hereby.

         Certain  officers  and  directors  of the Company have agreed that they
will not  offer,  sell or  contract  to sell or  otherwise  dispose of shares of
Common Stock of the Company (other than by gift to a person who agrees not to so
sell,  or by  operation  of law) for a period of 90 days  after the date  hereof
without the prior written consent of the Underwriter.

         The Company has agreed to indemnify  the  Underwriter  against  certain
liabilities or to contribute to payments that the Underwriter may be required to
make in respect thereof.

         The  Common  Stock of the  Company  or the Bank has been  traded on the
Nasdaq  SmallCap  Market since  September  20, 1995.  There is a limited  public
market for the Common Stock, with trading volume averaging  approximately  1,000
shares per week since  September 1995. See "Market for Common Stock." The public
offering  price for the Common Stock will be determined by  negotiation  between
the Company and the  Underwriter.  Among the factors that will be  considered in
such  negotiations  are the current market for the Common Stock, the history of,
and the  prospects  for, the Company and the  industry in which it competes,  an
assessment of the Company's  management,  its past and present  operations,  the
past and present  earnings and the trend of such  earnings,  the  prospects  for
future earnings of the Company, the present state of the Company's  development,
the general condition of the securities markets at the time of the offering, and
the market  prices of and demand  for the Common  Stock and for  publicly-traded
common stock of comparable  companies in recent periods. The Underwriter intends
to make a market in the Common Stock following completion of the offering.

         In  order  to  facilitate  the  offering  of  the  Common  Stock,   the
Underwriter may engage in the transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise
affect  the  price  of the  Common  Stock.  Specifically,  the  Underwriter  may
overallot  in  connection  with the  offering  creating a short  position in the
Common Stock for its own account.  In addition,  to cover  overallotments  or to
stabilize  the price of the  Common  Stock,  the  Underwriter  may bid for,  and
purchase,  shares of Common Stock in the open market.  Finally,  the Underwriter
may  reclaim  selling  concessions  allowed  to an  underwriter  or a dealer for
distributing  the Common Stock in the offering,  if the Underwriter  repurchases
previously distributed Common Stock in transactions to cover short positions, in
stabilization  transactions or otherwise.  Any of these activities may stabilize
or  maintain  the market  price of the Common  Stock


                                      -32-
<PAGE>

above  independent  market levels.  The Underwriter is not required to engage in
these activities, and may end any of these activities at any time.

         The  Underwriter  and  dealers  may  engage in  passive  market  making
transactions  in the Common Stock in  accordance  with Rule 103 of  Regulation M
promulgated  by the Securities and Exchange  Commission.  In general,  a passive
market  maker may not bid for,  or  purchase,  the Common  Stock at a price that
exceeds the highest  independent bid. In addition,  the net daily purchases made
by any passive  market maker  generally  may not exceed 30% of its average daily
trading volume in the Common Stock during a specified two month prior period, or
200 shares,  whichever is greater.  A passive market maker must identify passive
market  making  bids as such on the  Nasdaq  electronic  inter-dealer  reporting
system.  Passive market making may stabilize or maintain the market price of the
Common Stock above  independent  market levels.  The Underwriter and dealers are
not  required  to engage in passive  market  making and may end  passive  market
making activities at any time.

         The  Underwriter  has from  time to time  provided  investment  banking
services to the Company in the ordinary course of business.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


Board of Directors
Mid-Atlantic Community BankGroup, Inc.
Gloucester, Virginia

     We  have  audited  the   accompanying   consolidated   balance   sheets  of
Mid-Atlantic  Community  BankGroup,  Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 1996
and  1995,  and the  related  consolidated  statements  of  income,  changes  in
stockholders'  equity  and cash  flows for each of the  years in the  three-year
period ended December 31, 1996. These consolidated  financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated 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 audits to obtain
reasonable  assurance about whether the  consolidated  financial  statements are
free of material  misstatement.  An audit includes  examining,  on a test basis,
evidence  supporting the amounts and disclosures in the  consolidated  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  audits  provide  a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion,  the consolidated  financial  statements  referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Mid-Atlantic
Community  BankGroup,  Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and
the  results of its  operations  and its cash flows for each of the years in the
three-year period ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

On  August  15,  1996,  Peninsula  Trust  Bank  created  Mid-Atlantic  Community
BankGroup,  Inc., a bank holding company, and exchanged one share of the holding
company stock for one share of Peninsula  Trust Bank stock.  The total number of
$5 par value shares of holding company stock exchanged for the outstanding stock
of the bank was 944,333.  The transaction is accounted for at historical cost in
a manner similar to that in pooling-of-interests accounting. As a result of this
change in legal  structure,  the bank is now a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of the
holding company.  The holding company did not generate any revenues or incur any
expenses  prior to the  consummation  of the share  exchange.  The  consolidated
financial  statements include the accounts of Mid-Atlantic  Community BankGroup,
Inc.  and its  wholly-owned  subsidiary,  Peninsula  Trust  Bank.  All  material
intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

Before the creation of the holding company,  the Bank had the following  results
of operations for the period January 1, 1996 through August 14, 1996:

Total interest income                                       $ 7,762,000
Total interest expense                                        3,172,000

Investment Securities

Investment debt securities that management has the ability and intent to hold to
maturity are classified as  held-to-maturity  and carried at cost,  adjusted for
amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts using methods  approximating
the  interest   method.   Other   marketable   securities   are   classified  as
available-for-sale and are carried at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on
securities available-for-sale are recognized as direct increases or decreases in
stockholders'  equity.  Cost of securities sold is recognized using the specific
identification method.

NOTE 1:  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (Continued)

Mortgage-backed   securities  represent  participating  interests  in  pools  of
long-term  first  mortgage  loans  originated  and  serviced  by  issuers of the
securities. Mortgage-backed securities are carried at unpaid principal balances,
adjusted for unamortized premiums and unearned discounts. Premiums and discounts
are amortized using methods approximating the interest method over the remaining
period  to  contractual   maturity,   adjusted  for   anticipated   prepayments.
Mortgage-backed securities that management has the ability and intent to hold to
maturity are classified as held-to-maturity.  Other  mortgage-backed  securities
are classified as  available-for-sale  and are carried at fair value. Should any
be sold, cost of securities sold is determined using the specific identification
method.

Income Tax

Income tax is  provided  for the tax  effects of  transactions  reported  in the
consolidated  financial  statements  and  consists  of tax  currently  due  plus
deferred tax related primarily to differences between the basis of the allowance
for loan losses,  premises and  equipment,  and deferred loan fees for financial
and income tax  reporting.  The  deferred  tax asset  represents  the future tax
return  consequences  of those  differences,  which  will  either be  taxable or
deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled.

Income tax expense is the tax payable or  refundable  for the year plus or minus
the change for the year in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses

Loans are stated at the amount of unpaid principal,  reduced by an allowance for
loan losses. Interest on loans is calculated by using the simple interest method
on daily balances of the principal  amount  outstanding.  The allowance for loan
losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to operations.
Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes
that the collectibility of the principal is unlikely. The allowance is an amount
that management  believes will be adequate to absorb probable losses on existing
loans that may become uncollectible,  based on evaluations of the collectibility
of loans and prior loan loss experience. The evaluations take into consideration
such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio,  overall
portfolio  quality,  review of specific  problem  loans,  and  current  economic
conditions that may affect the borrowers'  abilities to pay. Accrual of interest
is discontinued on 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.

Premises and Equipment

Premises and equipment is recorded at cost.  Depreciation  is based on estimated
useful service lives and is computed on the  straight-line  method for reporting
purposes. Computer software is amortized over 5 years.

Cash Flow Information

The statement of cash flows  reconciles net income with the increase in cash and
due from banks.  The  indirect  method has been used.  For purposes of reporting
cash flows,  cash and due from banks  include  cash on hand and amounts due from
depository institutions.  The Company considers amounts due from banks and money
market investments which have original  maturities of three months or less to be
cash equivalents.

Earnings Per Share

Net income per share is calculated on the basis of the weighted  average  number
of shares  outstanding.  The Company's stock options  outstanding are considered
common stock equivalents and are included in the calculation of weighted average
number  of  shares  outstanding.  The  Company's  Class  A  warrants  were  also
considered  common stock  equivalents;  however,  the assumed  exercise of these
warrants was not included in earnings per share  computations  for 1994 and 1993
because  the  result  would not have a  dilutive  effect.  There were no Class A
warrants outstanding as of December 31, 1995.

Loan Fees and Costs

Loan fees and  certain  direct loan  origination  costs of  completed  loans are
deferred and  recognized  as an  adjustment of the yields on related loans using
the interest method over the lives of the loans.

Off Balance Sheet Financial Instruments

In the  ordinary  course of  business,  the Company has entered into off balance
sheet  financial  instruments   consisting  of  commitments  to  extend  credit,
commitments  under credit card  arrangements,  commercial  letters of credit and
standby  letters of credit.  Such  financial  instruments  are  recorded  in the
consolidated financial statements when they become payable.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect  the  reported  amounts  of assets  and  liabilities  and  disclosure  of
contingent  assets and  liabilities at the date of the financial  statements and
the  reported  amounts of revenues  and expenses  during the  reporting  period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to current
presentations.

NOTE 6:  OFF-BALANCE-SHEET ITEMS, COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES:

The Company is a party to financial instruments with  off-balance-sheet  risk in
the normal  course of business  to meet the  financing  needs of its  customers.
These  financial  instruments  include  commitments to extend  credit,  lines of
credit,  commercial  letters of credit  and  standby  letters  of credit.  These
instruments  involve,  to varying degrees,  elements of credit and interest rate
risk  in  excess  of the  amounts  recognized  in the  statements  of  financial
condition.

The  Company's  exposure  to credit loss in the event of  nonperformance  by the
other party to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit, lines
of  credit,  commercial  letters  of credit  and  standby  letters  of credit is
represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The Company
uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional  obligations
as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

Commitments  to extend  credit are  agreements  to lend to a customer as long as
there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.  Commitments
generally  have fixed  expiration  dates or other  termination  clauses  and may
require  payment of a fee. Since many of the  commitments are expected to expire
without  being  drawn  upon,  the total  commitment  amounts do not  necessarily
represent  future cash  requirements.  The  Company  evaluates  each  customer's
creditworthiness  on a  case-by-case  basis.  The amount and type of  collateral
obtained,  if deemed  necessary by the Company upon extension of credit,  varies
and is based on management's credit evaluation of the counterparty.

Standby letters of credit are conditional  commitments  issued by the Company to
guarantee the  performance  of a customer to a third party.  Standby  letters of
credit generally have fixed expiration  dates or other  termination  clauses and
may require  payment of a fee.  The credit risk  involved in issuing  letters of
credit is essentially  the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to
customers. The Company's policy for obtaining collateral, and the nature of such
collateral,  is essentially  the same as that involved in making  commitments to
extend credit.

At December 31, 1996,  the Company had  outstanding  letters of credit  totaling
$2,049,866 and does not anticipate losses as a result of these transactions. The
Company also had, at December 31, 1996, undisbursed funds under various lines of
credit and loan commitments totaling $13,034,099.

The  Company  leases  its branch  facility  in Newport  News,  Virginia  under a
non-cancelable operating lease expiring October 31, 1998. Monthly lease payments
total $2,898 and future minimum lease payments under the lease are as follows as
of December 31, 1996:

                1997                         $34,779
                1998                         $28,983

NOTE 8:  FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:

The following  methods and assumptions  were used to estimate the fair values of
financial  instruments.  In cases where quoted market prices are not  available,
fair  values  are based on  estimates  using  present  value or other  valuation
techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used,
including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows.  In that regard,
the derived  fair value  estimates  cannot be  substantiated  by  comparison  to
independent  markets  and,  in many cases,  could not be  realized in  immediate
settlement  of  the   instruments.   Certain   financial   instruments  and  all
nonfinancial  instruments are excluded from fair value disclosure  requirements.
Accordingly,  the aggregate  fair value  amounts  presented do not represent the
underlying value of the Company.

Cash and Due from Banks

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated  financial statements for cash
and due from banks approximate those assets' fair values.

Investment Securities

Fair values for investment securities, including mortgage-backed securities, are
based on quoted market prices, where available.  If quoted market prices are not
available,  fair  values  are  based  on  quoted  market  prices  of  comparable
instruments.

Deposits

The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (for example,  checking  accounts,
savings  accounts and money market  deposits) are equal to the amount payable on
demand at the reporting  date. The carrying amount of accrued  interest  payable
approximates fair value.

Other Borrowed Funds

The carrying amounts of other borrowed funds approximates their fair values.

NOTE 8:  FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: (Continued)

Other Liabilities

Commitments to extend credit were  evaluated and fair value was estimated  using
the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account
the remaining  terms of the agreements and the present  creditworthiness  of the
counterparties.  The fair  value of  standby  letters of credit is based on fees
currently  charged for similar  agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate
them  or  otherwise  settle  the  obligations  with  the  counterparties  at the
reporting date.

The fair values of loans and time  deposits are not presented  herein,  as it is
not practicable to estimate the fair value without incurring excessive costs.


NOTE 9:  COMMON STOCK AND CLASS A WARRANTS:

During 1994,  the Company  sold 75,000  shares of its common stock at $14.50 per
share. As a result of this sale,  equity was increased by $1,046,897,  which was
net of issuance costs of $41,458.

The Company  sold  149,500  shares of its common  stock at a price of $16.50 per
share pursuant to an offering  agreement  dated April 21, 1995. The Company also
sold 16,180  shares of its common stock at a price of $16.50 per share  pursuant
to a private placement offering in June, 1995. The related increase in equity of
$2,528,871 was net of issuance costs totaling $204,849.

During  1992,  the bank sold 2,500  units,  each of which was  comprised  of 100
shares of common stock,  $5.00 par value,  and 100 redeemable  Class A warrants.
Each Class A warrant  entitled  the holder  thereof to purchase  one-half of one
share of common stock at an exercise price of $7.50. Seven hundred warrants were
exercised  during 1994 and  241,350  were  exercised  during  1995.  The Company
purchased  7,850  warrants  that were not  exercised  for $78 and there  were no
warrants outstanding at December 31, 1995. The increase in equity related to the
1995 warrant  transactions  of  $1,807,743  was net of issuance  costs  totaling
$2,304.

NOTE 10:  EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS AND STOCK OPTION PLANS:

The  Company  has  entered  into  employment  agreements  with  certain  of  its
executives.  The  agreements  provide  for  severance  benefits  payable  to the
executives upon  termination of employment  following a change of control in the
bank. If certain  requirements  are met, the aggregate  maximum benefits payable
will be $373,725.

NOTE 10:  EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS AND STOCK OPTION PLANS: (Continued)

The Company  adopted an employee  incentive  stock option plan and a nonemployee
directors' stock option plan. The employee  incentive stock option plan provides
for granting  options to allow key  employees to purchase the  Company's  common
stock. The stock options give the holder the right,  over a ten-year period,  to
acquire the Company's  common  stock.  Future  options,  when granted under this
plan,  will have an exercise  price  equal to the  greater of the  stock's  fair
market value or 100% of the book value per share of the  Company's  common stock
at the date of the grant.  The  Company  has  reserved up to a maximum of 50,000
shares of unissued common stock for issuance under the employee  incentive stock
option plan. A summary of options granted through December 31, 1996 follows:

                                        Number of         Exercise

                  1991                    10,000            $11.25
                  1995                    21,000            $16.00
                  1995                     1,000            $16.50
                  1996                     2,500            $22.50

The nonemployee  directors'  stock option plan allowed the directors to purchase
options  during  August,  1990.  A total of 29,522 were sold at a price of $.25.
Each option entitles the owner thereof to purchase one share of common stock for
$9.75.

The Company  adopted a management  incentive  bonus plan  designed to reward its
tier one  executive  officers  for the  achievement  of  certain  Company  goals
regarding  its return on average  total  assets,  capital and loan loss reserve.
Bonuses  under  this  plan  totaled  $48,060  and  $36,464  for 1996  and  1995,
respectively.

            INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION


Stockholders and Directors
Mid-Atlantic Community BankGroup, Inc.
Gloucester, Virginia


         Our report on our audits of the basic consolidated financial statements
of Mid-Atlantic Community BankGroup, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 1996
and 1995 and for the three-year  period ended December 31, 1996  accompanies the
consolidated  financial  statements.  Those  audits were made for the purpose of
forming an opinion on such consolidated  financial  statements taken as a whole.
The accompanying  supplementary information as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 and
for each of the  years in the  three-year  period  ended  December  31,  1996 is
presented for purposes of additional  analysis and is not a required part of the
basic consolidated financial statements.  Such information has been subjected to
the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic consolidated financial
statements  and, in our opinion,  is fairly  stated in all material  respects in
relation to the basic consolidated  financial statements as of December 31, 1996
and 1995 and for each of the years in the  three-year  period ended December 31,
1996, taken as a whole.

         We also have previously  audited, in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards, the balance sheets of Mid-Atlantic Community BankGroup, Inc.

statements of income,  changes in stockholders'  equity, and cash flows for each
of the years in the two-year  period  ended  December 31, 1993 (none of which is

financial statements. In our opinion, the accompanying supplementary information
as of  December  31,  1994,  1993,  and 1992  and for  each of the  years in the
two-year  period  ended  December  31,  1993 is fairly  stated  in all  material
respects in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements for which it
has been derived.

                     INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 24.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers

         Article 10 of Chapter 9 of Title 13.1 of the Code of Virginia, 1950, as
amended (the "Code"),  permits a Virginia  corporation to indemnify any director
or officer for reasonable  expenses  incurred in any legal proceeding in advance
of final disposition of the proceeding, if the director or officer furnishes the
corporation  a written  statement  of his good faith  belief that he has met the
standard of conduct  prescribed by the Code, and a determination  is made by the
board of directors that such standard has been met. In a proceeding by or in the
right of the  corporation,  no  indemnification  shall be made in respect of any
matter  as to which an  officer  or  director  is  adjudged  to be liable to the
corporation,  unless the court in which the  proceeding  took  place  determines
that,   despite  such   liability,   such  person  is  reasonably   entitled  to
indemnification  in  view  of all  the  relevant  circumstances.  In  any  other
proceeding,  no  indemnification  shall be made if the  director  or  officer is
adjudged  liable to the  corporation  on the basis  that  personal  benefit  was
improperly  received by him.  Corporations are given the power to make any other
or further indemnity,  including advance of expenses, to any director or officer
that may be authorized by the articles of incorporation or any bylaw made by the
shareholder,  or any  resolution  adopted,  before  or after the  event,  by the
shareholders,  except  an  indemnity  against  willful  misconduct  or a knowing
violation of the criminal law. Unless limited by its articles of  incorporation,
indemnification  of a director or officer is mandatory when he entirely prevails
in the defense of any  proceeding  to which he is a party because he is or was a
director or officer.

         The Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation  (the "Articles") of
the Registrant contain provisions indemnifying the directors and officers of the
Registrant,  unless he is adjudged  liable for willful  misconduct  or a knowing
violation  of  criminal  law.  In  addition,  the  Articles  limit the  personal
liability of the  Registrant's  directors and officers to the  Registrant or its
shareholders for monetary damages to $50,000 per transaction.

Item 26.  Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

         The Registrant is the successor to Peninsula  Trust Bank,  Incorporated
(the "Bank")  pursuant to an Agreement  and Plan of Share  Exchange (the "Plan")
dated as of February 29, 1996 between the Bank and


                                      II-1
<PAGE>

the  Registrant.  Pursuant to the Plan,  the Registrant was formed to become the
holding  company for the Bank.  Upon the  consummation of the Plan on August 15,
1996, the Bank became the  wholly-owned  subsidiary of the  Registrant,  and the
shareholders  of the Bank  became  shareholders  of the  Registrant  (the "Share
Exchange").  At that time,  the  Registrant  issued 944,333 shares of its Common
Stock to the  shareholders  of the Bank in exchange  for all of the  outstanding
shares of the Bank's common stock.

         The Common Stock of the Registrant issued in the Share Exchange was not
registered  under  Section 5 of the  Securities  Act of 1933,  as  amended  (the
"Act"),  pursuant  to the  exemption  provided  by Section  3(a)(12) of the Act.
Provided that certain  conditions  are met, as they were in the Share  Exchange,
section  3(a)(12)  exempts "[a]ny equity  security issued in connection with the
acquisition by a holding company of a bank . . . ."


Item 27.  Exhibits

Item 28.  Undertakings

         The small  business  issuer  will  provide  to the  underwriter  at the
closing   specified  in  the   underwriting   agreement   certificates  in  such
denominations  and  registered in such names as required by the  underwriter  to
permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

         Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling  persons of the small  business  issuer  pursuant  to the  foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the small business issuer has been advised that in the
opinion of the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  such  indemnification  is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore,  unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for  indemnification  against such liabilities  (other
than the payment by the small business issuer of expenses  incurred or paid by a
director,  officer or  controlling  person of the small  business  issuer in the
successful  defense of any  action,  suit or  proceeding)  is  asserted  by such
director,  officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the small business issuer will, unless in the opinion of its counsel
the matter has been settled by controlling

                                      II-2
<PAGE>

precedent,  submit to a court of appropriate  jurisdiction  the question whether
such  indemnification  by it is  against  public  policy  as  expressed  in  the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

         The small business issuer will:

         (1)   For determining any liability under the Securities Act, treat the
information  omitted  from  the  form  of  prospectus  filed  as  part  of  this
Registration  Statement  in reliance  upon Rule 430A and  contained in a form of
prospectus  filed by the small business issuer under Rule 424(b)(1),  or (4), or
497(h) under the Securities Act as part of this Registration Statement as of the
time the Commission declared it effective.

         (2)   For determining any liability under the Securities Act, treat
each  post-effective  amendment  that  contains  a form of  prospectus  as a new
registration statement for the securities offered in the Registration Statement,
and that  offering  of the  securities  at that  time as the  initial  bona fide
offering of those securities.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         This letter is in reference to the Registration Statement on Form SB-2,
as amended,  (the  "Registration  Statement")  filed by  Mid-Atlantic  Community
BankGroup,  Inc.(the "Company") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") for the registration  under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Act"),  of 149,500 shares of the Company's  common stock,  par value $5.00
per share (the "Common  Stock"),  which shares are proposed to be offered to the
public  pursuant  to an  Underwriting  Agreement  filed  as an  exhibit  to  the
Registration Statement (the "Offering").

         We have examined such corporate  proceedings,  records and documents as
we considered necessary for the purposes of this opinion.

         The  opinion  expressed  herein  is  limited  in  all  respects  to the
application of the law of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

         Based  on  the   foregoing,   and  subject  to  the   limitations   and
qualifications  set forth  herein,  it is our  opinion  that the  aforementioned
149,500 shares of Common Stock, when issued against payment therefor pursuant to
the Offering,  will be validly issued,  fully paid and non-assessable  under the
laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

         Our opinion is expressed as of the date that shares of Common Stock are
issued pursuant to the Offering against payment  therefor,  and we do not assume
any  obligation  to update or  supplement  our  opinion to  reflect  any fact or
circumstance  subsequently  arising or any change in law subsequently  occurring
after  such date.  We hereby  consent  to the  filing of this  opinion  with the
Commission as an
