In rendering these services, the Bank serves general retail customers and
businesses in the cities of Staunton, Waynesboro, and Harrisonburg and the
counties of Augusta and Rockingham.
Lumbering operations, paving facilities and quarrying concerns are serviced
as well as dairy and beef cattle operations and some sheep operations. Also
served are various manufacturing concerns employing from 10 to 2,000 persons.
Competition
NationsBank, First Virginia Bank-Blue Ridge, Wachovia Bank, Community Bank,
First Union National Bank of Virginia, Crestar Bank, Shenandoah National Bank,
F&M Bank-Massanutten, One Valley Bank, Second Bank, Black Diamond Savings Bank
and First and Citizens Bank maintain offices within the trade area of the Bank.
These banks offer full banking services.
Other institutions compete effectively and aggressively for various types
of business within the Bank's trade area. The several credit unions in the
Bank's trade area aggressively offer commercial bank products. Automobile sales
finance companies compete for automobile financing and dealership floor plans.
Sales finance companies finance small appliances and furniture and personal loan
companies compete effectively. Direct lending by governmental agencies is done
primarily through Staunton Farm Credit, A.C.A. which maintains an office outside
the Staunton city limits. Farmers Home Administration operates within the Bank's
trade area also. Deposits and loans from medium-sized and larger business
organizations are successfully solicited by financial institutions located
outside the Bank's service area. There is also competition from the numerous
insurance companies represented in the area. In offering trust services there is
competition with attorneys as well as other banks.
No material part of the business of the Bank is dependent upon a single or
a few customers and the loss of one or more customers would not have a
materially adverse effect upon the business of the Bank. Management is not aware
of any indications that the business of the Bank or material portion thereof is,
or may be, seasonal.
Item 2. Properties
The Bank owns thirteen (13) parcels of property. Twelve (12) of these
properties are land and buildings used by the Bank in its operation and one (1)
property is held for future bank use. The properties are more fully described as
follows:
1. The Bank owns the land and building at its main office located at 24
South Augusta Street, Staunton, Virginia. The land with buildings was
purchased from various owners at various dates. The Bank has completed
an expansion and renovation program at this location whereby 18
on-site parking spaces were provided, along with entry and exit from
Augusta Street, entry from Johnson Street and exit onto Central
Avenue. Also provided are appropriate entry lanes for three drive-up
windows. The renovated building has a basement area of 6,415 sq. ft.,
a commercial and trust banking area of 11,827 sq. ft., and a second
floor was developed into a customer service area and offices. The Bank
purchased a piece of property, December 1985, located at the corner of
Central Avenue and Johnson Streets. This parcel joins property
presently owned by the Bank. The building, which was gutted by fire,
was torn down and the lot is presently leased to the City of Staunton.

West Johnson Street. During 1993, the building was removed and a new

during 1998 compared to 1997 by $17,731,000 and the average interest rate paid
during 1998 of 4.52% compared to 4.49% during 1997.
Interest expense increased during 1997 by $608,000 or 4.80% compared to
1996. This increase was due to average interest-bearing liabilities increasing
during 1997 compared to 1996 by $11,942,000 and the average interest rate paid
during 1997 of 4.49% compared to 4.47% during 1996.
Interest expense increased during 1996 by $341,000 compared to 1995. This
represents an increase of 2.76%. The increase was due to average
interest-bearing liabilities increasing by $10,242,000 as the average rate paid
on these liabilities decreased from 4.51% in 1995 to 4.47% in 1996.
Net interest income and the net interest margin along with the average
yield of the individual categories for the years 1996 through 1998 is shown on
Table 2. Table 3 summarizes the effect on net interest income of changes in
interest rates earned and paid as well as changes in volume.
The presentation appears on a fully tax-equivalent basis to adjust for the
tax exempt status of income earned on certain loans and investment securities
using statutory rates of 34% in 1998, 1997 and 1996.
Non-interest income:
Non-interest income increased $1,070,614 or 37.11% when compared to 1997.
The major components making up this increase are the following areas: Fiduciary
income from the Trust department increased $153,921 or 14.89%. This increase was
due to increases in business volume and a modest increase in the fee schedule
for services. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $393,413 or 58.34%.
This increase is due to a uniform program of accessing and collecting fees.
Secondary mortgage fees increased $406,529 or 92.51%. This increase is due to
the expansion of the department and the volume of business. The volume of
business was affected by the level of interest rates creating opportunities to
refinance. Fees generated from the investment department offering non-FDIC
insured investment products increased $44,963 or 19.80%. This increase is due to
increased volume and the level of interest rates of FDIC insured deposit
accounts.
Non-interest income increased $342,817 or 13.49% during 1997 when compared
to 1996. Trust department income increased by $48,457 or 4.92% during 1997 when
compared to 1996. This increase in Trust department income is due primarily to
increases in the volume of fee generating activity and to increases in the
market values. Other non-interest income and fee income increased about $257,000
in the following areas: fees on ATM foreign transactions, Visa debit cards,
printed check commissions and fees from the sale of non-FDIC insured investment
products.

<PAGE>
Non-interest income increased during 1996 compared to 1995 by $417,108 or
19.63%. Trust department income increased by $163,283 or 19.87% during 1996
compared to 1995. This increase was due to the number and asset size of estates
closed and under administration and the overall volume of fee generating
activity during the year. Income from the secondary mortgage market area
increased $110,523 or 32.75%. The increase in this area was the result of a
greater number of loans being closed and the dollar amount of these loans.
During 1996 the Bank began offering non-FDIC insured investment products which
produced income of $86,648. Also during 1996, the Bank began operating Planters
Insurance Agency, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank, which markets
title insurance, provided income of $17,408. Service charges on deposit
accounts, safe deposit box rent and other non-interest income experienced a very
modest increase due to the volume of business only, as the pricing of these
services and fees have not changed.
Non-Interest Expense:
Non-interest expense increased during 1998 by $955,737 or 10.09% compared
to 1997. Salaries and employee benefits increased by $523,829 or 9.47%. This
increase is due to increases in individual salaries, the staffing of a new
branch in Harrisonburg, Virginia, and additional employees in select areas.
Premise and fixed asset expense increased by $97,052 or 8.59% due to the new
Harrisonburg office, updating teller stations in all offices to on-line system
and the refurbishing of the Grottoes, Virginia office. Computer services
increased by $154,222 or 25.64% due to updating the teller stations, and the
equipment and communications to support these updates. Other areas of
non-interest expense which increased during 1998 were advertising by $45,649 or
30.91%, consultant fees by $21,054 or 103.67%, legal fees by $16,055 or 34.20%,
state bank exam fees by $17,583 or 33.12% and telephone expenses by $29,019 or
24.37%. The expansion by branching, new products and increased volume of
business increased most areas of non-interest expense.
Non-interest expense increased during 1997 by $795,704 or 9.17% compared to
1996. Salaries and employee benefits increased by $252,437 or 4.78% comparing
1997 to 1996. This increase was due to an increase in the number of employees
and to increases in individual salaries. Expense of premises and fixed assets
increased by $190,992 or 20.34%. This increase is due to installing an image
item processing system and image statement system along with two additional ATM
and two cash machines. Computer expense increased $44,487 due to additional
volume. Other non-interest expenses which increased in 1997 were advertising
which increased by $49,757, ATM operating expenses which increased by $22,955,
FDIC Insurance expense which increased $39,185, and supplies in the ongoing day
to day operations which increased $75,293. This increase was also due to an
increased volume of business activity.
Non-interest expense increased during 1996 compared to 1995 by $444,218 or
5.39%. Salaries and employee benefits increased by $579,717 or 12.34%. This
increase was due to increases in individual salaries, employee benefits and the
expansion of the officer staff. These additions were in preparation of pending
retirements of executive and other officers. Most other operating expenses
continue to increase due to increased prices and the increase in volume of
business. Technological changes taking place in the financial industry at a
rapid pace must be dealt with, and though over a period of time result in
savings, have impact on other operating expenses, i.e. research, installation,
educational training and equipment costs. Two areas of non-interest expenses
which had a rather significant decrease which are advertising and FDIC
insurance. Advertising decreased about $61,000 and FDIC Insurance decreased
about $347,000 due to premium decreases.

Allowance for Loan Losses:
The allowance for loan losses is an estimate of an amount, by management,
to provide for potential losses in the loan portfolio. Various factors,
including charge-off experience, change in the mix and volume of loans, the
level of underperforming loans, the ratio of outstanding loan balances to total
loans and the perceived economic conditions in the primary trade area are taken
into consideration in determining the amount of the provision for loan losses
and the total amount of the loan loss reserve.
The reserve for loan losses was 1.15% of outstanding loans as of December
31, 1998, 1.39% as of December 31, 1997 and 1.29% as of December 31, 1996. Net
charge-offs were $1,868,177 during 1998, $117,293 during 1997 and $196,833
during 1996. The percentage of net charge-offs to year-end loans was 0.67% for
1998, 0.04% for 1997 and 0.08% for 1996. The balance of the reserve for loan
losses was $3,211,782 as of December 31, 1998, $3,752,500 as of December 31,
1997, and $3,038,958 as of December 31, 1996. Several large lending
relationships significantly deteriorated during the year ended December 31, 1998
and resulted in charge-offs to the allowance for loan losses.

Liquidity and Interest Sensitivity:
Liquidity is the ability to satisfy demands for withdrawal of deposits,
lending obligations and other corporate needs. Liquidity is provided from
sources such as readily marketable investments, principal and interest payments
on loans and through increases in deposits and borrowed funds. Planters' deposit
base has become more rate sensitive since deregulation; however, there remains a
strong base of core deposits. The investment portfolio of which 85.1% matures
within five years and the opportunity to purchase Federal Funds provides a basic
source of liquidity along with the principal and interest payments on the loan
portfolio. In the management of interest rate risk, all loans except consumer
and mortgage are made with the opportunity to reprice the interest on a one or
three year basis. The Bank strives to maintain a relationship between rate
sensitive assets and rate sensitive liabilities which will maximize profits
under foreseeable or projected economic and competitive conditions. Additional
data regarding liquidity and interest sensitivity is presented in Tables 11 and
12.
Interest Sensitivity
The primary goals of interest rate risk management are to minimize
fluctuations in net interest margin as a percentage of earning assets and to
increase the dollars of net interest margin at a growth rate consistent with the
growth rate of total assets. These goals are accomplished by balancing the
volume of floating rate liabilities with a similar volume of floating-rate
assets, by keeping the average maturity of fixed rate asset and liability
contracts reasonably consistent and short, and by routinely adjusting pricing
rates to market conditions on a weekly basis.
The goal of Virginia Financial Corporation (VFC) is to generally maintain a
position that is to provide flexibility enough to move to an equality between
rate-sensitive assets and rate-sensitive liabilities, which may be desirable
when there are wide and frequent fluctuations in interest rates. Interest rate
gaps are managed through investments loan pricing and deposit pricing. When an
unacceptable positive gap within a one-year time frame occurs, maturities can be
extended by selling shorter term investments and buying longer maturities. The
same effect can also be accomplished by reducing emphasis on variable rate
loans. When an unacceptable negative gap occurs, variable rate loans can be
increased and more investment in shorter term investments can be made. Pricing
policies on either or both loans and deposits can be changed to accomplish any
of the goals. VFC reviews the interest sensitivity position once a quarter.
It is VFC's policy not to engage in activities considered to be derivative
in nature such as futures, option contracts, swaps, caps, floors. collars or
forward commitments. VFC considers derivatives as speculative which is contrary
to VFC's historical or prospective philosophy. VFC does not hold or issue
financial instruments for trading purposes. VFC does hold in its loan portfolio,
loans that adjust or float according to changes in the "prime" lending rate
which is not considered speculative, but necessary for good asset/liability
management. Off-balance sheet risks such as commitments to extend credit,
standby letters of credit and other items are discussed in Note 10 in the Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Forward-Looking Statements
The sections that follow, Market Risk Management, contain certain
forward-looking statements (as defined in the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995). These forward-looking statements may involve significant
risks and uncertainties. Although VFC believes that the expectations reflected
in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results may differ
materially from the results discussed in these forward-looking statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." The
Statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
financial instruments and other similar financial instruments and for hedging
activities. The Statement also allows securities classified as held-to-maturity
to be transferred to the available-for-sale category at the date of initial
application of this standard. Statement 133 is effective for all fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 1999. Management is currently reviewing this statement
to determine the impact, if any, it will have since the Company does not
currently employ such derivative instruments and does not intend to do so in the
future.
The effects of these Statements on the Company's consolidated financial
statements are not expected to be material.

Dear Fellow Stockholders:
It is my pleasure to report on the progress of both Virginia Financial
Corporation and Planters Bank & Trust Company of Virginia for the year ending
December 31, 1998.
First, I want to give credit to the officers and staff of the Bank whose work
during 1998 has enabled us to have a banner year. To all of the people in the
Planters family I say "Thanks for a job well done." I am proud to be associated
with such a fine group of people dedicated to preserving the reputation and
heritage of our bank. Our staff appreciates our customers and works hard every
day to deliver great customer service.
In October we opened a branch office in Harrisonburg which is being managed by
Jeff Smith, a native of Rockingham County. Jeff and his staff have made
excellent progress in opening new accounts, calling on clients and building a
strong loan portfolio. We are convinced there is much potential in the
surrounding area for a bank that can deliver a full array of competitively
priced products in a professional manner. Further expansion in the Harrisonburg
market is being studied and I will keep you informed as to our plans.
As I write this letter we have a new branch office under construction on the
corner of Rosser Avenue and Lucy Lane in Waynesboro. Construction will soon
begin on a branch office in Lexington where we currently have many good
customers and good prospective customers. With mergers and acquisitions taking
place all around us we hear from people who welcome the opportunity to bank with
a locally owned company. We are committed to being there when they are looking
for a bank they can rely on in the future.
Internet banking will soon be available through Planters' new on-line service
"Planet Banking." For those of you who use a personal computer and are on the
Internet, many services will soon be at your fingertips.
During 1998, we invested many hours training our tellers in the use of a new
computer system. This new system allows our tellers to access up-to-the-minute
account information and enables us to keep pace with the many advancements in
electronic banking.
You will find inside our Annual Report financial information related to Planters
Mortgage Services and the Trust Department. These two divisions experienced the
best and most profitable year in their history, with growth in the number of new
customers and revenue. They established momentum in 1998 that has continued into
the new year.
One of the most talked about issues in 1999 will be and already has been the
Year 2000 (Y2K) issue. We have been working with the regulators, our vendors,
our customers and staff to be positioned for whatever Y2K brings. We have tested
our computer systems, updated all personal computers, established contingency
plans and been examined by the FDIC. We encourage our customers to ask questions
so they will have confidence in how we are dealing with this matter.
In conclusion, your corporation is growing, staying abreast of the latest
technology, and developing new products and services while concentrating on the
things which will determine our destiny - creating value and maintaining
excellent customer service. Your support is greatly appreciated and I solicit
your input as we grow together.
Sincerely,
/s/ William P. Heath, Jr.

Comments By Management
Nature and Scope of Business
At a special meeting of Shareholders held November 14, 1996, the shareholders
approved the agreement and plan of reorganization dated July 30, 1996 between
Planters Bank & Trust Company of Virginia and Virginia Financial Corporation.
The agreement provided for the reorganization of the Bank into a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Virginia Financial Corporation, organized to serve as the holding
company for the Bank. This reorganization became effective January 2, 1997.
Planters Bank & Trust Company of Virginia, a registered state bank with its main
office and executive offices located at 24 South Augusta Street, Staunton,
Virginia, was formed in 1977 by the merger of Planters Bank & Trust Company,
Staunton, Virginia, organized in 1911, and Augusta Bank & Trust Company,
organized in 1972. The Bank has eleven offices in Staunton, Waynesboro,
Harrisonburg, and the counties of Augusta and Rockingham. Commercial banking and
trust activities account for 100% of the Bank's business. Planters provides a
full range of banking services, and as of December 31, 1998 has 186 full-time
employees and 16 part-time employees. The composition of the Bank's business is
reflected by the breakdown of current loans and deposits as shown.
The Bank, effective December 12, 1995, formed Planters Insurance Agency, Inc., a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Planters Bank & Trust Company of Virginia. During
January 1996 the agency began marketing title insurance, its only product, to
the general public. During 1998, the Bank discontinued marketing title insurance
through the agency and now markets title insurance through Bankers Title
Shenandoah, LLC.

Stock
The Corporation issues one class of stock, Common, which is not listed for
trading on a registered exchange or quoted on the National Association of
Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System (NASDAQ), and so far as the
Corporation is aware, there are no active market makers in the Corporations
stock. Trades in the Corporations stock occur sporadically on a local basis.
Local brokerage offices will "match" or "pair" buy and sell orders. Accordingly,
there is no established public trade market for shares of the Corporations
stock, and quotations do not necessarily reflect the price that would be paid in
an active and liquid market.
On December 31, 1998, there were 1,160 stockholders. Cash dividends per share
for 1998 were $0.61 and for 1997 were $0.56. Management expects to pay
approximately $0.65 per share dividends in 1999.
Based upon sale prices furnished to the Corporation by the Staunton, Virginia
office of a Virginia headquartered brokerage firm, the high and low sales prices
of Corporation stock during 1996, 1997 and 1998 were as shown on the chart.

Managements Discussion and Analysis of Operations
During 1998, the Corporations net income was $6,248,230 compared to $5,735,112
for 1997 and $5,541,801 for 1996. The increase in net income comparing 1998 to
1997 was $513,118 or 8.95%, comparing 1997 to 1996 was $193,311 or 3.49% and
comparing 1996 to 1995 was $507,194 or 10.07%.
Net interest income is the principal source of income for the Corporation. The
changes in volume, interest rates and the mix of interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities has a significant impact on net interest income.
Net interest income was $16.9 million for 1998 compared to $15.8 million for
1997 and $14.6 million for 1996. This represents increases of 7.0% in 1998, 7.8%
in 1997 and 6.6% in 1996.

Investment Securities
The average maturity of the investment portfolio was 4.1 years, 2.5 years and
1.9 years as of December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Securities
maturiting in one year or less were $16.1 million or 12.4% of the portfolio as
of December 31, 1998, $36.2 million or 31.9% of the portfolio as of December 31,
1997 and $14.7 million or 12.4% of the portfolio as of December 31, 1996.
The portfolio increased during 1998 by $16.9 million. Funds for this growth were
provided by increases in deposits, securities sold under agreement to repurchase
and federal funds purchased less the growth in loans. The portfolio was reduced
during 1997 by $5.4 million to fund loan growth, and reduced during 1996 by $6.6
million to also fund loan growth.
U.S. Treasury Securities were 8.6% of the portfolio as of December 31, 1998,
11.6% as of December 31, 1997 and 11.4% as of December 31, 1996. U.S. Government
Agencies were 62.1% of the portfolio as of December 31, 1998, 72.9% as of
December 31, 1997 and 72.7% as of December 31, 1996. Obligations of state and
political subdivisions were 22.9% of the portfolio as of December 31, 1998,
15.5% as of December 31, 1997 and 15.7% as of December 31, 1996. Corporate and
equity securities made 6.4% of the portfolio as of December 31, 1998.
As of December 31, 1998 investment securities classified as available for sale
were $78.3 million, as of December 31, 1997 were $56.2 million and as of
December 31, 1996 were $50.7 million. Securities classified as available for
sale are reported at fair value and as of December 31, 1998 had an unrealized
gain of $720,941, as of December 31, 1997 had an unrealized gain of $235,495 and
as of December 31, 1996 had an unrealized loss of $138,052 which is shown net of
deferred taxes as a separate component of stockholders' equity.

Loans
The loan portfolio increased during 1998 by $9.5 million, increased during 1997
by $32.9 million and during 1996 increased by $23.4 million. The percentage of
net loans to total assets as of December 31, 1998 was 63.4%, as of December 31,
1997 was 65.8% and as of December 31, 1996 was 61.8%.
The demand for loans and the retention of loans, as indicated by overall growth
and as a percentage of assets, was not as strong during 1998 as during 1997 or
1996. The primary trade area continues to provide diversity in the customer
base, unemployment continues to be very low and economic activity continues to
be strong.
During 1999 approximately $140.5 million of the loan portfolio will mature or
have the ability to be repriced compared to $143.8 million in 1998 and $139.2
million during 1997.
Most mortgage loans placed in the loan portfolio are made with the provision to
reprice on a one, three or five year basis. A significant number of commercial
and personal loans are represented by demand notes which provide the ability to
reprice.
Mortgage loan financing is offered through the secondary mortgage market which
provides other sources of financing for the customer base. During 1998 about $53
million was placed through the secondary mortgage market, during 1997 about $30
million was placed and during 1996 about $35 million was placed.
Total non-earning loans which represent loans on which the accrual of interest
has been discontinued were $1,973,000 as of December 31, 1998, $1,193,000 as of
December 31, 1997 and $194,000 as of December 31, 1996. This increase is due, in
part, to an increase of the total loan portfolio and to the deterioration of a
select group of credits. Management believes the overall quality and
collectability of the loan portfolio remains good.

Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is an estimate of an amount, by management, to
provide for potential losses in the loan portfolio. Various factors, including
charge-off experience, change in the mix and volume of loans, the level of
under-performing loans, the ratio of outstanding loan balances to total loans
and the perceived economic conditions in the primary trade area are taken into
consideration in determining the amount of the provision for loan losses and the
total amount of the loan loss reserve.
The reserve for loan losses was 1.15% of outstanding loans as of December 31,
1998, 1.39% as of December 31, 1997 and 1.29% as of December 31, 1996. Net
charge-offs were $1,868,177 during 1998, $117,293 during 1997 and $196,833
during 1996. The percentage of net charge-offs to year end loans was 0.67% for
1998, 0.04% for 1997 and 0.08% for 1996. The balance of the reserve for loan
losses was $3,211,782 as of December 31, 1998, $3,752,500 as of December 31,
1997 and $3,038,958 as of December 31, 1996. Several large lending relationships
significantly deteriorated during the year and resulted in charge-offs to the
allowance for loan losses.

Deposits
During 1998 total deposits increased by $18.3 million or 5.2% when compared to
December 31, 1997. All areas of deposits with the exception of money market
accounts experienced growth. Non-interest checking increased by $8.2 million or
15.0%. NOW accounts increased by $3.0 million or 7.1%, savings accounts
increased by $1.8 million or 4.9% and Certificates of Deposit increased by $9.9
million or 6.1%. Money market checking decreased by $4.6 million or 7.9%.
Interest rates paid on money market checking were reduced during 1998, which
contributed to this decrease.
During 1997 total deposits increased by $21.8 million or 6.6% compared to year
end 1996. Certificates of Deposit increased during 1997 by about $13.7 million
or 9.3% due to competitive interest rates on select maturities. NOW accounts
increased by $3.2 million, money market checking accounts increased by $2.5
million and savings accounts decreased by $0.8 million. Non-interest checking
also increased by $3.2 million due primarily to increased volume and customer
base. A Visa debit card program was also introduced and promoted along with an
image statement system which also contributed to the growth.
During 1996 total deposits increased $10.8 million or 3.4% compared to 1995.
Demand deposits and NOW accounts both experienced growth during 1996. Money
market accounts and savings accounts decreased during the year due to the
movement of these deposits to Certificates of Deposit. Certificates of Deposit
continued to increase during 1996 due to interest rates on certificates compared
to other interest earning deposits offered by the Bank.
Interest rates and the versatility of financial instruments offered by other
entities continue to present strong competition in the growth of deposits and
attracting new deposit balances.
Assets
During 1998 total assets increased $30.1 million or 7.5%. The two major
categories of assets are the loan and investment securities. The loan portfolio
increased by $9.5 million and investment securities increased by $16.9 million.
This growth in assets was funded by increases in deposits, securities sold under
agreement to repurchase, federal funds purchased and by retained earnings.
During 1997 total assets increased $26.9 million or 7.1%. The loan portfolio
increased about $32.9 million during the year and the security investment
portfolio decreased about $5.4 million or 4.5%. This decrease in the investment
portfolio along with the decrease in cash and due from banks along with the
growth in deposits and securities sold under agreement to repurchase funded the
loan growth. At year end 1997 the loan portfolio was 65.8% of assets and the
investment portfolio was 28.1% of assets.
Total assets increased during 1996 by approximately $21 million or 5.9%.
Securities during 1996 decreased about $6.6 million and the loan portfolio
increased by about $23.4 million. The decrease in the investment portfolio, the
increase in deposits of about $10.8 million and federal funds purchased of $5.0
million funded the loan growth. At year end 1996 loans were 61.8% of assets and
the investment portfolio was 31.5% of assets.

Stockholders' Equity
Stockholders' equity, during 1998, increased $4,128,624 or 9.99%. Reflected in
this increase is $320,394 unrealized net gain on securities in the available for
sale category. During 1997 stockholders equity increased $3,761,651 or 10.01%.
Reflected in this increase is $246,539 unrealized net gain on securities in the
available for sale category. During 1996 stockholders equity increased
$3,420,220 or 10.01%. This increase reflects $201,581 unrealized net loss on
securities held in the available for sale category. These increases represent
retention of net income after the payment of dividends. Cash dividends paid
increased by 9.91% in 1998, 15.63% in 1997 and 15.66% in 1996. Book value per
share as of December 31, 1998 was $11.37, $10.33 as of December 31, 1997 and
$9.39 as of December 31, 1996. Book value per share has been adjusted for the
100% stock dividend in December 1997.
Additional dividend information is provided under "Selected Financial Data" and

Results of Operations
Net income for 1998 was $6,248,230 for an increase of $513,118 or 8.95% when
compared to 1997. Net income for 1997 increased by $193,311 or 3.49% when
compared to 1996 and net income for 1996 increased $507,194 or 10.07% when
compared to 1995.
Net Interest Income Net interest income represents the difference in interest
received on interest earning assets and interest paid on interest bearing
liabilities. Factors which have a significant impact on net interest income and
the net interest margin are changes in volume and mix and their respective
yields or rates on interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. Net
interest income for 1998 was $16,872,086 for an increase of $1,096,556 or 6.95%
when compared to 1997. Net interest income for 1997 $15,775,530 for an increase
of $1,138,421 of 7.78% when compared to 1996. Net interest income for 1996 was
$14,637,109 for an increase of $906,951 or 6.61% when compared to 1995. The net
interest margins for 1998, 1997 and 1996 were 4.43%, 4.40% and 4.32%,
respectively.

Non-Interest Income Non-interest income increased $1,070,614 or 37.11% when
compared to 1997. The major components making up this increase are the following
areas: fiduciary income from the Trust department increased $153,921 or 14.89%.
This increase was due to increases in business volume and a modest increase in
the fee schedule for services. Service charges on deposit accounts increased
$393,413 or 58.34%. This increase is due to a uniform program of accessing and
collecting fees. Secondary mortgage fees increased $406,529 or 92.51%. This
increase is due to the expansion of the department and the volume of business.
The volume of business was affected by the level of interest rates creating
opportunities to refinance. Fees generated from the investment department
offering non-FDIC insured investment products increased $44,963 or 19.80%. This
increase is due to increased volume and the lower level of interest rates of
FDIC insured deposit accounts.
Non-interest income increased $342,817 or 13.49% during 1997 when compared to
1996. Trust department income increased by $48,457 or 4.92% during 1997 when
compared to 1996. This increase in Trust department income is due primarily to
increases in the volume of fee generating activity and to increases in the
market values. Other non-interest income and fee income increased about $257,000
in the following areas: fees on ATM foreign transactions, Visa debit cards,
printed check commissions and fees from the sale of non-FDIC insured investment
products.
Non-interest income increased during 1996 compared to 1995 by $417,108 or
19.63%. Trust department income increased by $163,283 or 19.87% during 1996
compared to 1995. This increase was due to the number and asset size of estates
closed and under administration and the overall volume of fee generating
activity during the year. Income from the secondary mortgage market area
increased $110,523 or 32.75%. The increase in this area was the result of a
greater number of loans being closed and the dollar amount of these loans.
During 1996 the Bank began offering non-FDIC insured investment products which
produced income of $86,648. Also during 1996, the Bank began operating Planters
Insurance Agency, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank, which markets
title insurance, provided income of $17,408. Service charges on deposit
accounts, safe deposit box rent and other non-interest income experienced a very
modest increase due to the volume of business only, as the pricing of these
services and fees have not changed.

Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expense increased during 1998 by $955,737 or 10.09% compared to
1997. Salaries and employee benefits increased by $523,829 or 9.47%. This
increase is due to increases in individual salaries, the staffing of a new
branch in Harrisonburg, Virginia, and additional employees in select areas.
Premise and fixed asset expense increased by $97,052 or 8.59% due to the new
Harrisonburg office, updating teller stations in all offices to an on-line
system and the refurbishing of the Grottoes, Virginia office. Computer services
increased by $154,222 or 25.64% due to updating the teller stations, and the
equipment and communications to support these updates. Other areas of
non-interest expense which increased during 1998 were advertising by $45,649 or
30.91%, consultant fees by $21,054 or 103.67%, legal fees by $16,055 or 34.20%,
state bank exam fees by $17,583 or 33.12% and telephone expenses by $29,019 or
24.37%. The expansion by branching, new products and increased volume of
business increased most areas of non-interest expense.
Non-interest expense increased during 1997 by $795,704 or 9.17% compared to
1996. Salaries and employee benefits increased by $252,437 or 4.78% comparing
1997 to 1996. This increase was due to an increase in the number of employees
and to increases in individual salaries. Expense of premises and fixed assets
increased by $190,992 or 20.34%. This increase is due to installing an image
item processing system and image statement system along with two additional ATM
and two cash machines. Computer expense increased by $44,487 due to additional
volume and FDIC Insurance expense increased $39,185. Other non-interest expenses
which increased in 1997 were advertising which increased by $49,757, ATM
operating expenses which increased by $22,955 and supplies in the ongoing day to
day operations which increased $75,293. This increase was also due to an
increased volume of business activity.
Non-interest expense increased during 1996 compared to 1995 by $444,218 or
5.39%. Salaries and employee benefits increased by $579,717 or 12.34%. This
increase was due to increases in individual salaries, employee benefits and the
expansion of the officer staff. These additions were in preparation of pending
retirements of executive and other officers. Most other operating expenses
continued to increase due to increased prices and the increase in volume of
business. Technological changes taking place in the financial industry at a
rapid pace must be dealt with, and though over a period of time result in
savings, have impact on other operating expenses, i.e. research, installation,
educational training and equipment costs. Two areas of non-interest expense
which had a rather significant decrease were advertising and FDIC Insurance.
Advertising decreased about $61,000 and FDIC Insurance decreased about $347,000
due to premium decreases.
Market Risk Management
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in the fair value
of financial instruments due to changes in interest rates, exchange rates and
equity prices. VFC's market risk is composed primarily of interest rate risk.
Asset/Liability/Risk Committee ("ALCO") is responsible for reviewing the
interest rate sensitivity position of VFC and establishing policies to monitor
and limit exposure to interest rate risk. Guidelines established by ALCO are
reviewed by VFC's Board of Directors.
Asset/Liability/Risk Management: The primary goals of asset/liability management
are to maximize net interest income and the net value of VFC's future cash flows
within the interest rate risk limits set by ALCO.
Interest Rate Risk Measurement
Interest rate risk is monitored through the use of three complementary measures:
static gap analysis, earnings simulation modeling and net present value
estimation. While each of the interest rate risk measurements has limitations,
taken together they represent a reasonably comprehensive view of the magnitude
of interest rate risk in the Corporation, the distribution of risk along the
yield curve, the level or risk through time, and the amount of exposure to
changes in certain interest rate relationships. To this point the ALCO Committee
has relied on static gap and static gap shock. In the interest of better
management of interest rate risk, the ALCO Committee will begin employing the
above technique in future policy decisions.
8
<PAGE>
Static Gap
Gap analysis measures the amount of repricing risk embedded in the balance sheet
at a point in time. It does so by comparing the differences in the repricing
characteristics of assets and liabilities. A gap is defined as the difference
between the principal amount of assets and liabilities, adjusted for off-balance
sheet instruments, which reprice within a specified time period. The cumulative
one-year gap was -18.2% of total earning assets on December 31, 1998 and 1.7% of
total earning assets on December 31, 1997. The policy limit for the one-year gap
is plus or minus 15% of adjusted total earning assets.
Core deposits and loans with noncontractual maturities are included in the gap
repricing distributions based upon historical patterns of balance attrition and
pricing behavior which are reviewed at least annually.
The gap repricing distributions include principal cash flows from residential
mortgage loans in the time frames in which they are expected to be received.
Mortgage prepayments are estimated by applying industry median projections of
prepayment speeds to portfolio segments based on coupon range and loan age.
Earnings Simulation
The earnings simulation model forecasts one year net income under a variety of
scenarios that incorporate changes in the absolute level of interest rates,
changes in the shape of the yield curve and changes in interest rate
relationships. Management evaluates the effects on income of alternative
interest rate scenarios against earnings in a stable interest rate environment.
This type of analysis is also most useful in determining the short-run earnings
exposures to changes in customer behavior involving loan payments and deposit
additions and withdrawals.
The most recent earnings simulation model projects net income would increase by
approximately 5.2% of stable-rate net income if rates immediately fall by two
percentage points over the next year. It projects a decrease of approximately
6.5% if rates rise immediately by two percentage points. Management believes
this reflects a liability-sensitive rate risk position for the one-year horizon.
This one-year forecast is within the ALCO guideline of 15.0%.
This dynamic simulation model includes assumptions about how the balance sheet
is likely to evolve through time, in different interest rate environments. Loan
and deposit growth rate assumptions are derived from historical analysis and
management's outlook, as are the assumptions used to project yields and rates
for new loans and deposits. All maturities, calls and prepayments in the
securities portfolio are assumed to be reinvested in like instruments. Mortgage
loan prepayment assumptions are developed from industry median estimates of
prepayment speeds for portfolios with similar coupon ranges and seasoning. Non
contractual deposit growth rates and pricing are assumed to follow historical
patterns. The sensitivities of key assumptions are analyzed at least annually
and reviewed by ALCO.
Net Present Value
The Net Present Value ("NPV") of the balance sheet, at a point in time, is
defined as the discounted present value of asset cash flows minus the discounted
value of liability cash flows. Interest rate risk analysis using NPV involves
changing the interest rates used in determining the cash flows and in
discounting the cash flows. The resulting percentage change in NPV is an
indication of the longer term repricing risk and options risk embedded in the
balance sheet.
At year-end, a 200 basis point immediate increase in rates is estimated to
reduce NPV by 11.4%. Additionally, NPV is projected to increase by 8.0% if rates
fall immediately by 200 basis points. Analysis of the average quarterly change
in the Treasury yield curve over the past ten years indicates that a parallel
curve shift of 200 basis points or more is an event that has less than a .1%
chance of occurrence.
As with gap analysis and earnings simulation modeling, assumptions about the
timing and variability of balance sheet cash flows are critical in NPV analysis.
Particularly important are the assumptions driving mortgage prepayments and the
assumptions about expected attrition of the core deposit portfolios. These
assumptions are applied consistently across the different rate risk measures.

Summary information about Interest rate risk measures is presented below:

Static Net Present Value Change
-200 bp Shock vs. Stable Rate 8.0% -0.2%
+200 bp Shock vs. Stable Rate -11.4% -4.5%
Due to borrowers' preferences for floating-rate loans and depositors'
preferences for fixed-rate deposits, VFC's balance sheet tends to move toward
more asset sensitivity with the passage of time. The earnings simulation model
indicates that if all prepayments, calls and maturities of the securities
portfolios expected over the next year were to remain uninvested, then the
current liability sensitivity position would be reduced. Purchases of fixed rate
securities have been made to offset the natural tendency toward a less liability
sensitive interest rate risk position.
Management expects interest rates to be relatively stable during 1999 and
believes that the current level of liability sensitivity is manageable.
Year 2000
The Year 2000 issue involves the risk that the computer programs and computer
systems may not be able to perform without interruption into the Year 2000. If
computer systems do not correctly recognize the date change from December 31,
1999 to January 1, 2000, computer applications that rely on the date field could
fail or could create erroneous results. Such erroneous results could affect
interest payments or due dates and could cause the temporary inability to
process transactions and to engage in ordinary business activities. The failure
of the Corporation, its suppliers, and its borrowers to address the Year 2000
issue could have a materially adverse effect on the Corporation's financial
condition, results of operations, or liquidity.
In 1997, the Corporation initiated a review and assessment of all data
processing systems, hardware and software to confirm that it will function
properly in the year 2000. Based on this assessment, the Corporation's data
processing systems, hardware and banking software are currently Year 2000
compliant. However, testing is required to confirm this. Testing began in the
second quarter of 1998 and will continue through the second quarter of 1999. For
certain other systems, the Corporation has replaced or modified, or will replace
or modify, certain pieces of hardware and/or software so that the systems will
properly function in the year 2000. For systems on which the Corporation relies
on third party vendors, these vendors have been contacted and have indicated
that the hardware and/or software will be Year 2000 compliant.
The Corporation has also initiated formal communications with all significant
loan customers to determine the extent to which the Corporation is vulnerable to
those third parties' failures to remedy their own Year 2000 issues. The
Corporation believes that exposure to customers who are not Year 2000 compliant
is minimal.
The Corporation plans to complete the majority of the Year 2000 project by June
30, 1999. To date, the Corporation has expensed $17,500 related to the
assessment of, and efforts in connection with, the Year 2000 issue. Remaining
expenditures are not expected to have material effects on the Corporation's
consolidated financial statements.

<PAGE>
The Corporation continues to assess its risk from other environmental factors
over which it has little direct control, such as the electrical power supply,
voice transmission and data transmission. However, because of the nature of
these external factors, the Corporation is not actively engaged in any repair,
replacement or testing efforts for these services. Based on its current
assessments and remediation plans, which are based in part on certain
representations of third party servicers, the Corporation does not expect that
it will experience a significant disruption of its operations as a result of the
change of date to the year 2000. The Corporation has no reason to conclude that
a disruption or failure on the part of its electrical or voice and data
transmission suppliers will occur; however, if such a disruption or failure does
occur, the most likely result will be an inability on the part of those
suppliers to provide power or data transmission services to a computer system or
facility of the Corporation, in which case the Corporation will implement a
contingency plan. The most reasonable outcome to expect from a disruption or
failure on the part of the Corporation's electrical or voice and data
transmission suppliers would entail a diminishment of service levels, some
customer inconvenience, and any unanticipated costs associated with the
implementation of the contingency plan.
For the computer systems and facilities that the Corporation has determined to
be most critical, the Company expects to complete development of, test and adopt
contingency plans by June 30,1999. These plans will conform to recently issued
guidance from the FFIEC on business contingency planning for Year 2000
readiness. Contingency plans will include, among other actions, manual work
arounds and the identification of resource requirements and alternative
solutions for resuming critical business processes in the event of a Year 2000
related failure. While the Corporation will have contingency plans in place to
address a temporary disruption or failure in these services, there can be no
assurance that any disruption or failure will be only temporary, that the
Corporation's contingency plans will function as anticipated, or that the
results of operations or the financial condition or liquidity of the Corporation
will not be adversely affected in the event of a prolonged disruption or
failure.
Additionally, there can be no assurance that the FFIEC or other federal
regulators will not issue new regulatory requirements that entail additional
work by the Corporation and, if issued, that new regulatory requirements will
not increase the cost or delay the completion of the Corporation's Year 2000
project.
The costs of the project and the date on which the Corporation's plans to
complete the Year 2000 modifications are based are management's best estimates.
These estimates are based on numerous assumptions of future events, including
the continued availability of certain resources, the modification plans of third
parties and other factors. There can, however, be no guarantee that these
estimates are accurate. Actual costs and dates could differ materially from
those estimated. Specific factors that might cause such material differences
include, but are not limited to, the availability of personnel trained in this
area, the ability of third party vendors to correct their software and hardware,
the ability of significant customers to remedy their Year 2000 issues, and
similar uncertainties.
Forecast
The economy in the Corporations trade area continued to expand during 1998,
although not at the pace experienced during 1997, and the level of employment
continued to be very strong.
During 1999, the economy for the area is expected to remain relatively strong
with strong competition for employees as the unemployment percentage is expected
to remain very low. Competition for deposits and loans is expected to remain
strong. In April of 1999 the Bank will open a full service branch office at 100
Lucy Lane, Waynesboro, Virginia and in July 1999 will open a full service branch
at 1197 North Lee Highway, Lexington, Virginia. The data software system which
has been installed during 1998 will be completed in 1999 and the home banking
program will be available the second quarter of 1999.
Virginia Financial Corporation and its subsidiary, Planters Bank & Trust Company
of Virginia, continues to strive to be positioned to expand product offerings as
appropriate and positioned for possible geographic expansion.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Stockholders and Directors
Virginia Financial Corporation
and Subsidiaries
Staunton, Virginia
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Virginia
Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the
related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity and
cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997, and 1996. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our 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 Virginia
Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended December
31, 1998, 1997, and 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

VIRGINIA FINANCIAL CORPORATION
AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. Nature of Banking Activities and Significant Accounting Policies
On November 14, 1996, the stockholders of Planters Bank & Trust Company of
Virginia voted in favor of a merger to become a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Virginia Financial Corporation which became a newly formed one-bank holding
company.
Upon consumption of the reorganization at January 2, 1997, each outstanding
common share of Planters Bank and Trust Company of Virginia was exchanged
for one share of Virginia Financial Corporation common stock, par value $5
per share. The exchange of shares was a tax-free transaction for federal
income tax purposes. The merger was accounted for on the same basis as a
pooling-of-interests and financial statements for prior periods are
identical to the financial statements of the Bank. Stockholders' equity has
been restated to reflect this transaction in all prior periods.
In 1996, Planters Bank and Trust Company of Virginia formed Planters
Insurance Agency, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank. This
subsidiary was formed to acquire and hold an interest in Bankers' Title of
Shenandoah, LLC.
Virginia Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries (the Corporation) grant
consumer, agribusiness, commercial and real estate loans to customers
located primarily in the Augusta County and Rockingham County, Virginia
area. The loan portfolio is well diversified and is not concentrated with
any one business sector or industry.
The accounting and reporting policies of the Corporation conform to
generally accepted accounting principles and predominant practices within
the banking industry. The following is a description of the more
significant of these policies:
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of Virginia Financial
Corporation and Subsidiaries, Planters Bank & Trust Company of
Virginia and Planters Insurance Agency, Inc., include the accounts of
all three companies. All material intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash and Due From Banks
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and due from banks includes
cash on hand, amounts due from banks and cash items in process of
collection. Cash flows from deposits, federal funds purchased and
renewals and extensions of loans are reported net.
Securities
Securities are classified in three categories and accounted for as
follows:
22
<PAGE>
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
a. Securities Held to Maturity
Securities classified as held to maturity are those debt
securities the Corporation has both the intent and ability to
hold to maturity regardless of changes in market conditions,
liquidity needs or changes in general economic conditions. These
securities are carried at cost adjusted for amortization of
premium and accretion of discount, computed by the interest
method over their contractual lives.
b. Securities Available for Sale
Securities classified as available for sale are those debt and
equity securities that the Corporation intends to hold for an
indefinite period of time, but not necessarily to maturity. Any
decision to sell a security classified as available for sale
would be based on various factors, including significant
movements in interest rates, changes in the maturity mix of the
Corporation's assets and liabilities, liquidity needs, regulatory
capital considerations, and other similar factors. Securities
available for sale are carried at fair value. Unrealized gains or
losses are reported as increases or decreases in stockholders'
equity, net of the related deferred tax effect. Realized gains or
losses, determined on the basis of the cost of specific
securities sold, are included in earnings.
c. Trading Securities
Trading securities, which are generally held for the short term
in anticipation of market gains, are carried at fair value.
Realized and unrealized gains and losses on trading account
assets are included in interest income on trading account
securities. The Corporation had no trading securities at December
31, 1998 and 1997.
Loans
Loans are stated at the amount of unpaid principal, reduced by
unearned discount, unearned fees, and an allowance for loan losses.
Interest on all loans is accrued daily on the outstanding balances.
Commitment fees related to standby letters of credit are recognized
over the commitment period.
The impairment of loans that have been separately identified for
evaluation is measured based on the present value of expected future
cash flows or, alternatively, the observable market price of the loans
or the fair value of the collateral. However, for those loans that are
collateral dependent (that is, if repayment of those loans is expected
to be provided solely by the underlying collateral) and for which
management has determined foreclosure is probable, the measure of
impairment of those loans is based on the fair value of the
collateral.
The Corporation considers all consumer installment loans and
residential mortgage loans to be homogeneous loans. These loans are
not subject to impairment. A loan is considered impaired when it is
probable that the Corporation will be unable to collect all principal
and interest amounts according to the contractual terms of the loan
agreement. Factors involved in determining impairment include, but are
not limited to, expected future cash flows, financial condition of the
borrower, and the current economic conditions. A performing loan may
be considered impaired, if the factors above indicate a need for
impairment. A loan on nonaccrual status may not be impaired if in the
process of collection or there is an insignificant shortfall in
payment. An insignificant delay of less than 30 days or a shortfall of
less than 5% of the required principal and interest payment generally
does not indicate an impairment situation, if in management's judgment
the loan will be paid in full. Loans that meet the regulatory
definitions of doubtful or loss generally qualify as an impaired loan.
Charge-offs for impaired loans occur when the loan, or portion of the
loan is determined to be uncollectible, as is the case for all loans.
23
<PAGE>
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Loans are placed on nonaccrual when a loan is specifically determined
to be impaired or when principal or interest is delinquent for 90 days
or more. Any unpaid interest previously accrued on those loans is
reversed from income. Interest income generally is not recognized on
specific impaired loans unless the likelihood of further loss is
remote. Interest payments received on such loans are applied as a
reduction of the loan principal balance. Interest income on other
nonaccrual loans is recognized only to the extent of interest payments
received.
Mortgage loans held for resale are stated at the lower of cost or
market on an individual loan basis.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level which, in
management's judgment, is adequate to absorb credit losses inherent in
the loan portfolio. The amount of the allowance is based on
management's evaluation of the collectibility of the loan portfolio,
including the nature of the portfolio, credit concentrations, trends
in historic loss experience, specific impaired loans, and economic
conditions. Allowances for impaired loans are generally determined
based on collateral values or the present value of estimated cash
flows. The allowance is increased by a provision for loan losses,
which is charged to expense and reduced by charge-offs, net of
recoveries. Changes in the allowance relating to impaired loans are
charged or credited to the provision for loan losses. Because of
uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, management's
estimate of credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio and the
related allowance may change in the near term.
Nonrefundable Loan Fees and Costs
Loan origination and commitment fees and certain direct loan
origination costs are being deferred and the net amount amortized as
an adjustment of the related loan's yield.
Bank Premises and Equipment
Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Gains
and losses on routine dispositions are reflected in current
operations.
Depreciation is computed by the straight-line and declining balance
methods over the following estimated useful lives:
Buildings and improvements 10-50 years
Furniture and equipment 3-25 years
Computer software 3 years
Trust Department Assets
Securities and other property held by the Trust Department in a
fiduciary or agency capacity are not assets of the Corporation and are
not included in the accompanying financial statements.
24
<PAGE>
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Deposit Intangibles
The cost of purchased deposit relationships and other intangible
assets, based on independent valuation, are being amortized over
estimated remaining lives ranging from nine to fifteen years.
Amortization expense charged to operations was $23,650 in 1998, and
$23,652 in 1997 and 1996.
Income Taxes
Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax
assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, operating
loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax
liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences.
Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are
reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management,
it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred
tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities
are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the
date of enactment.
Earnings Per Share
The earnings per common share have been computed by dividing net
income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
Weighted average shares were 4,000,000 for each of the years ended
1998, 1997, and 1996, respectively. The Corporation had no potential
common stock as of December 31, 1998, 1997, and 1996.
Pension Plan
The Corporation has a trusteed, noncontributory, defined contribution
pension plan covering substantially all full-time employees.
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, 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.
Advertising Costs
The Corporation follows the policy of charging the production costs of
advertising to expense as incurred.
Other Real Estate Owned
Real estate properties acquired through, or in lieu of, loan
foreclosure are to be sold and are initially recorded at fair value at
the date of foreclosure establishing a new cost basis. After
foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and
the real estate is carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair
value less cost to sell. Revenue and expenses from operations and
changes in the valuation allowance are included in loss on foreclosed
real estate.
25
<PAGE>
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Comprehensive Income
As of January 1, 1998, the Corporation adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income".
Statement 130 established new rules for the reporting and display of
comprehensive income and its components; however, the adoption of this
statement had no impact on the Corporation's net income or
stockholders' equity. The Statement requires other comprehensive
income to include unrealized gains and losses on securities available
for sale, which prior to adoption were reported separately in
stockholders' equity. The financial statements have been reclassified
to conform to the requirements of Statement No. 130.
Emerging Accounting Standards
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities." The Statement establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative financial instruments and other similar
financial instruments and for hedging activities. The Statement also
allows securities classified as held-to-maturity to be transferred to
the available-for-sale category at the date of initial application of
this standard. Statement 133 is effective for all fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 1999. Management is currently reviewing this
statement to determine the impact, if any, it will have since the
Corporation does not currently employ such derivative instruments and
does not intend to do so in the future.
Note 2. Restrictions on Cash
To comply with Federal Reserve Regulations, the Bank is required to
maintain certain average reserve balances. The daily average reserve
requirement was $5,968,000 and $5,035,000 for the reserve periods
including December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Note 3. Securities
The amortized cost and fair value of the securities being held to
maturity as of December 31, 1998 and 1997 are as follows:

Note 10. Financial Instruments With Off-Balance-Sheet Risk
The Corporation 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
and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying
degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the
balance sheet. The Corporation's exposure to credit loss in the event of
nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for
commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented
by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Corporation uses the
same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet
instruments.
A summary of the contract amount of the Corporation's exposure to
off-balance-sheet risk as of December 31, 1998 and 1997 is as follows:
1998 1997
-------- --------
(in thousands)
Financial instruments whose contract
amounts represent credit risk:
Commitments to extend credit $48,808 $48,537
Standby letters of credit 3,000 3,033

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
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 and
represent the undrawn portion of the total commitment. Collateral held is
primarily, deeds of trust on real estate.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the
Corporation to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.
Most commitments are extended for less than one year with the longest
expiring in 2003. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is
essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. The
extent of collateral held for those commitments at December 31, 1998,
varies from 0% to 100%; the average amount collateralized is 69%.
The Corporation maintains cash accounts in other commercial banks. The
amount on deposit at December 31, 1998 exceeded the insurance limits of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation by $6,762,740.
Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies
The Corporation is party to various legal proceedings. Counsel is of the
opinion that settlement of these items should not have a material effect on
financial position.
The Corporation is heavily dependent on computer processing in the conduct
of its business activities and, therefore is susceptible to the Year 2000
(Y2K) Issue. The Issue is whether computer systems will properly recognize
date-sensitive information when the year changes to 2000. Systems that do
not properly recognize such information could generate erroneous data or
cause a system to fail. The Corporation has conducted a comprehensive
review of its computer systems to identify the systems that could be
affected by the Year 2000 Issue, and has developed and is implementing a
remediation plan.
Note 12. Regulatory Matters
The Corporation is subject to various regulatory capital requirements
administered by the Federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum
capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory - possibly additional
discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a
direct material effect on the Corporation's financial statements. Under
capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt
corrective action, the Corporation must meet specific capital guidelines
that involve quantitative measures of the Corporation's assets,
liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under
regulatory accounting practices. The Corporation's capital amounts and
classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators
about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require the Corporation to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth
in the table below) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the
regulations) to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to average
assets. Management believes, as of December 31, 1998, that the Corporation
meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.
As of December 31, 1998, the most recent notification from the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation categorized the Corporation as well
capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To
be categorized as well capitalized, the Corporation must maintain minimum
total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set
forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that
notification that management believes have changed the institution's
category.

Note 15. Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value
of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to
estimate that value:
Cash and Short-Term Investments
For those short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable
estimate of fair value.
Securities
For securities held for investment purposes, fair values are based on
quoted market prices or dealer quotes.
Loan Receivables
For certain homogeneous categories of loans, such as some residential
mortgages, and other consumer loans, fair value is estimated using the
quoted market prices for securities backed by similar loans, adjusted for
differences in loan characteristics. The fair value of other types of loans
is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates
at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit
ratings and for the same remaining maturities.
Deposit Liabilities
The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and certain money
market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The
fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using the
rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
34
<PAGE>
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Short-Term Borrowings
The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased, borrowings under
repurchase agreements, and other short-term borrowings maturing within 90
days approximate their fair values. Fair values of other short-term
borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the
Corporation's current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of
borrowing arrangements.
Off-Balance-Sheet Financial Instruments
The fair value of commitments is 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.
For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference
between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The fair
value of 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.
At December 31, 1998 and 1997, the carrying amounts and fair values of loan
commitments and stand-by letters of credit were immaterial.
The estimated fair values of the Corporation's financial instruments are as
