Item 1.  BUSINESS

GENERAL

         Heritage  Bankshares,  Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated  under the
laws  of  the  Commonwealth  of  Virginia  in  1983.  In  August  of  1992,  two
wholly-owned subsidiaries, Princess Anne Bank and The Heritage Bank-McLean, were
spun off, and the Company has operated as a one bank holding  company since that
time. The principal executive office of the Company is located at 200 East Plume
Street, Norfolk, Virginia. Currently, the Company does not transact any material
business  other than  through its  wholly-owned  banking  subsidiary.  The total
consolidated assets of the Company on December 31, 1997 were $83,002,000

THE BANK

         Heritage Bank & Trust is engaged in the general  commercial  and retail
banking business. The cities of Norfolk and Chesapeake, Virginia, constitute the
primary  service area of the Bank and to a lesser  extent the Bank  includes the
remaining areas of Hampton Roads in its market area.

         Heritage  Bank & Trust  is a state  banking  corporation.  The Bank was
incorporated  as a Virginia  corporation  on September  19, 1975,  and commenced
business at its main office at 841 North Military  Highway in Norfolk,  Virginia
on February 7, 1977. On December 31, 1997,  the Bank had assets of  $82,875,000,
with loans of $52,130,000 and deposits of $72,837,000.

IBV REAL ESTATE HOLDINGS, INC.

         IBV Real Estate  Holdings,  Inc., is a corporation  formed for the sole
purpose of owning  additional  real estate assets acquired by the Company or the
Bank.  Currently,  IBV Real  Estate  Holdings,  Inc.  owns a 1%  interest in IBV
Partners,  LP, a Virginia limited  partnership formed in December 1986. IBV Real
Estate  Holdings,  Inc.,  serves as the sole general partner of the partnership.
The partnership's  sole asset is a 17,200 square-foot office building located at
1450 South Military Highway,  Chesapeake,  Virginia.  Heritage Bank & Trust is a
major tenant in the property.

SENTINEL TITLE SERVICES, INC. AND SENTINEL TRUST SERVICES, L.L.C.

         Sentinel Title Services,  Inc. and Sentinel Trust Services,  L.L.C. are
wholly-owned  subsidiaries which own an interest in providers of title and trust
services. The financial activities pertaining to these interests are recorded on
the  cost  method  of  accounting  for  investments.   The  Company's  strategic
relationship  with these entities  provides the Bank with the ability to provide
title and trust services to its customers.

COMPETITION

         The banking  business in the cities of Norfolk and Chesapeake,  as well
as all of the  Hampton  Roads  area  is  highly  competitive.  All of the  major
commercial banking  institutions based in Virginia conduct business in the area.
The  Bank  also  encounters  competition  from  local  banks,  savings  and loan
associations,  money  market and mutual  funds,  small  loan  companies,  credit
unions, brokerage firms and other financial institutions.

EMPLOYEES

         The  Company  and the Bank have 39  employees.  Of this  total,  32 are
full-time and 7 are part-time. Management considers its employee relations to be
excellent.

REGULATION AND SUPERVISION

THE BANK

Regulatory Matters

         The Bank is subject to state and federal  banking laws and  regulations
which impose  specific  requirements  or  restrictions,  and provide for general
regulatory  oversight  with  respect to  virtually  all  aspects of  operations,
including,  but not limited to, maintenance of cash reserves,  loans, mortgages,
maintenance  of minimum  capital,  payment of dividends,  and  establishment  of
branch offices.  As a  state-chartered  bank and a member of the Federal Reserve
System,  the Bank is supervised and regularly examined by representatives of the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve") and the
Bureau of Financial  Institutions of the Commonwealth of Virginia (the "Virginia
Bureau of Financial Institutions").

         In addition to being affected by general economic conditions,  earnings
of the Bank may be affected by the fiscal and  monetary  policies of the Federal
Reserve.  The techniques used by the Federal Reserve include setting the reserve
requirements of member banks and establishing the discount rate on member banks'
borrowing.  The  impact  of  the  policies  of the  Federal  Reserve  and  other
regulatory  authorities,  cannot be accurately  predicted.  These  policies can,
however,  materially  affect the  revenues  and net income of  commercial  banks
because  they have a direct  effect on the amount of bank loans and deposits and
the interest rates charged and paid thereon.

         The Bank is also  subject  to  restrictions  under  Section  23A of the
Federal Reserve Act ("The Act").  These restrictions limit the transfer of funds
to the Company and certain other affiliates,  as defined in the Act, in the form
of loans,  extensions  of  credit,  investments  or  purchase  of  assets.  Such
transfers  by the Bank to the company are limited in amount to 10% of the Bank's
capital.  Furthermore,  such loans and  extensions of credit are also subject to
various  collateral  requirements.  See  Note  3 of the  Consolidated  Financial
Statements for additional information on restrictions.

         The Bank is also  subject to  restrictions  on the payment of dividends
under Section 33 of the Federal Reserve Act. Under this section, approval of the
applicable  Federal  Reserve  Bank is  required  if the  total of all  dividends
declared  by the Bank  during any  calendar  year  exceeds  the total of its net
profits  (as defined by the Act) of that year  combined  with its net profits of
the preceding two years. See Note 3 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for
additional information on restrictions.

         The  Federal  Reserve  and the  Bureau  of  Financial  Institutions  of
Virginia requires the Bank to maintain certain minimum capital ratios.  The Bank
and the Company are  required to maintain  minimum  risk-based  capital to asset
ratios, as defined by the regulations, of 4.00% for the Tier 1 capital ratio and
8.00% for the Total (Tier 1 plus Tier 2) capital ratio. Additionally, a leverage
capital ratio, defined as Tier 1 capital divided by average assets, must also be
maintained by financial  institutions.  For financial institutions with the best
regulatory  rating,  generally,  a  minimum  leverage  ratio  of  5.00%  must be
maintained.  The  Bank  and the  Company  met  the  minimum  risk-based  capital
requirements  at December 31, 1997.  See Note 15 of the  Consolidated  Financial
Statements for additional information on regulatory capital matters.

Mergers and Acquisitions

         The Bank Holding  Company Act formerly  prohibited the Federal  Reserve
from approving an application from a bank holding company to acquire shares of a
bank located outside the state in which the operations of the holding  company's
banking subsidiaries were principally conducted,  unless such an acquisition was
specifically  authorized  by statute of the state in which the bank whose shares
were to be acquired was located. The restriction on interstate  acquisitions was
abolished  effective  September 29, 1996,  and bank holding  companies  from any
state may now  acquire  banks and bank  holding  companies  located in any other
state.  Banks may branch  across state lines  effective  June 1, 1997,  provided
certain  conditions are met,  including that applicable state law must expressly
permit such interstate  branching.  Under Virginia law,  effective July 1, 1995,
Virginia banks can branch across state lines in those states with which Virginia
has reciprocal  agreements.  Although this will have a significant impact on the
banking industry, it is not possible to determine, with any degree of certainty,
its impact on individual institutions.

Deposit Insurance

         Section 38 of the  Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Act,  as amended by the
Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation  ("FDIC")  Improvement  Act ("FDICIA"),
requires that the federal  banking  agencies  establish  five capital levels for
insured depository institutions - "well capitalized",  "adequately capitalized,"
"undercapitalized,"    "significantly    "undercapitalized"   and,   "critically
undercapitalized",  and  requires  or  permits  such  agencies  to take  certain
supervisory  actions as an insured  institution's  capital level falls. The Bank
has been  notified  by the  Federal  Reserve  that it is  classified  as a "well
capitalized"   institution  for  this  purpose.   An  "adequately   capitalized"
institution is restricted from accepting  brokered  deposits.  A  "significantly
undercapitalized"  institution  must develop a capital  restoration  plan and is
subject to a number of mandatory and discretionary  supervisory  actions.  These
powers and authorities are in addition to the traditional  powers of the federal
banking  agencies  to deal with  undercapitalized  institutions.  As more  fully
disclosed  in the  following  paragraph,  the FDIC  deposit  insurance  premiums
required to be paid by  institutions  depend,  in part, on their capital levels,
and  "undercapitalized"  institutions  will  be  required  to pay  significantly
greater premiums than more highly capitalized institutions.

         The FDIC has  implemented  a risk-based  deposit  insurance  assessment
system  under  which the  assessment  rate for an insured  institution  may vary
according to  regulatory  capital  levels of the  institution  and other factors
(including  supervisory  evaluations).  Effective  January 1,  1996,  depository
institutions insured by the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF"),  ranked in the top risk
classification  category  of well  capitalized,  are  required  to pay  only the
statutory minimum assessment of $2,000 annually for deposit insurance, while all
other banks are required to pay premiums  ranging from .03% to .30% annually per
$100  of  domestic  deposits.   These  rate  schedules  are  subject  to  future
adjustments by the FDIC. In addition,  as more fully  disclosed in the following
paragraph,  the FDIC has authority to impose  special  assessments  from time to
time. The Bank is currently  assessed the statutory minimum assessment of $2,000
annually.

         The Deposit  Insurance Funds Act of 1996 ( the "Funds Act") was enacted
on September 30, 1996. Among other provisions,  the Funds Act: (1) requires that
certain  depository  institutions pay a one-time special  assessment (65.7 cents
per $100 of  SAIF-assessable  deposits)  to the FDIC to  capitalize  the Savings
Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") at its statutorily required reserve ratio of
1.25% of insurable  deposits;  (2) exempts certain depository  institutions with
SAIF assessable deposits that meet any of several specified criteria from paying
the special  assessment,  (3)authorizes  the Financing  Corporation  ("FICO") to
impose periodic assessments on depository  institutions that are members of BIF,
in addition to institutions that are members of the SAIF, in order to spread the
cost of the interest payments on the outstanding FICO bonds over a larger number
of  institutions.  Until this change in the law, only  SAIF-member  institutions
bore the cost of funding these interest payments.  FICO assessment rates for the
first  semiannual  period  of 1997 were set at 1.30%  (per  $100)  annually  for
BIF-assessable  deposits  and 6.48%  (per  $100)  annually  for  SAIF-assessable
deposits. These rates may be adjusted quarterly to reflect changes in assessment
bases for the BIF and the SAIF. By law, the FICO rate on BIF-assessable deposits
must be  one-fifth  the rate on SAIF  assessable  deposits  until the  insurance
fiends  are  merged or until  January 1, 2000,  whichever  occurs  first.  These
changes in FDIC  insurance  are not  expected  to have a material  effect on the
Bank's financial  condition and results of operation for the foreseeable future.
The Bank is currently  assessed at a rate of 1.3%  annually  (per $100) for FICO
purposes.

Regulations

         On  December  15,  1994,  the  Federal  Reserve,  the  Office of Thrift
Supervision,  the Office of the Controller of the Currency ("OCC"), and the FDIC
(collectively the "agencies")  issued a final rule entitled,  Risk-Based Capital
Standards:  Concentration of Credit Risk and Risks of Nontraditional Activities.
The final rule amends the risk-based capital standards by explicitly identifying
concentrations  of credit risk and certain  risks  arising  from  nontraditional
activities,  as well as an  institution's  ability  to manage  these  risks,  as
important factors in assessing an institution's overall capital adequacy.  While
no  quantitative  measure of such risk is  included  in the final  rule,  to the
extent  appropriate,  the  agencies  will issue  examination  guidelines  on new
developments in nontraditional  activities or concentrations of credit to ensure
that adequate account is taken of the risks of these activities.  Moreover,  the
agencies  also  believe  that  institutions  identified  though the  examination
process as having  significant  exposure to  concentration of credit risk, or as
not adequately  managing  concentration  risks, should hold capital in excess of
the regulatory minimums.  Therefore,  due to the subjective nature of this final
rule, the Bank is unable to determine what effect, if any, this rule may have on
regulatory capital requirements.

         On  August  2,  1995,  the  OCC,  the  Federal  Reserve,  and the  FDIC
(collectively the "banking  agencies") issued a final rule entitled,  Risk-Based
Capital Standards: Interest Rate Risk. The final rule implements minimum capital
standards for interest rate risk exposures in a two-step process. The final rule
implements  the first step of that process by revising the capital  standards of
the banking agencies to explicitly  include a bank's exposure to declines in the
economic  value of its capital due to changes in interest rates as a factor that
the banking agencies will consider in evaluating a bank's capital  adequacy.  It
is important to note that the banking  agencies intend to implement this rule on
a  case-by-case  basis during the  examination  process.  The second step of the
banking  agencies' process will be to issue a proposed rule that would establish
an explicit minimum capital charge for interest rate risk, based on the level of
the bank's measured interest rate risk exposure. Due to the subjective nature of
the first phase of this final rule, the Bank is unable to determine what effect,
if any, this rule may have on its regulatory capital requirements

         On October 1, 1996, the banking agencies issued new guidelines amending
the Interagency Guidelines  Establishing Standards for Safety and Soundness (the
"Safety  and  Soundness  Guidelines")  to include  asset  quality  and  earnings
standards.  The Safety and  Soundness  Guidelines  were adopted  pursuant to the
requirements of Section 39 of the Federal Deposit  Insurance Act. The Safety and
Soundness  Guidelines require financial  institutions to identify problem assets
and estimate inherent losses. In order to comply with these Safety and Soundness
Guidelines a financial  institution  shall:  (1) consider the size and potential
risks of  material  concentrations  of credit  risk;  (2)  compare  the level of
problem  assets to the level of capital and  establish  reserves  sufficient  to
absorb  anticipated  losses  on those  and other  assets,  (3) take  appropriate
corrective  action to resolve  problem assets,  as appropriate;  and (4) provide
periodic asset quality  reports to the of directors to assess the level of asset
risk. The earnings  standards  specified by the Safety and Soundness  Guidelines
require an  institution  to compare  its  earnings  trends ( relative to equity,
assets, and other common benchmarks) with its historical experience and with the
earnings trends of its peers. The Safety and Soundness  Guidelines,  relative to
the earnings standards, require the institution to: (1) evaluate the adequacy of
earnings with regard to the institution's relative size and complexity,  and the
risk profile of the institution's assets and operations;  (2) assess the source,
volatility,   and  sustainability  of  earnings,  (3)  evaluate  the  effect  of
nonrecurring or extraordinary  income or expense;  (4) take steps to ensure that
earnings  are  sufficient  to  maintain  adequate  capital  and  reserves  after
considering asset quality and the institution's  rate of growth; and (5) provide
periodic  reports with  adequate  information  for  management  and the board of
directors to assess earnings  performance.  The Safety and Soundness  Guidelines
note that the  complexity and  sophistication  of an  institution's  monitoring,
reporting systems,  and corrective actions should be commensurate with the size,
nature and scope of the institution's operations. The Bank does not believe that
these Safety and Soundness  Guidelines will materially  effect its operations or
financial condition in the foreseeable future.

         On December  20, 1996 the FDIC Board of  Directors  adopted the FFIEC's
updated  statement of policy  entitled  Uniform  Financial  Institutions  Rating
System  ("UFIRS").  The  updated  UFIRS  replaces  the  previous  rating  system
established in the 1979 statement of policy,  and is effective  January 1, 1997.
Under the existing  UFIRS,  each  financial  institution is assigned a composite
rating based on an  evaluation  and rating of five  essential  components  of an
institution's  financial condition and operations.  The five component areas are
Capital adequacy, Asset quality,  Management,  Earnings and Liquidity ("CAMEL").
The updated UFIRS includes the addition of a sixth  component for Sensitivity to
market risk  ("CAMELS").  The new sixth component  addresses the degree to which
changes in interest rates,  foreign  exchange rates,  commodity prices or equity
prices can adversely affect a financial  institution's  earnings or capital. The
new  component  focuses on an  institution's  ability to monitor  and manage its
market risk,  and will provide an  institution's  management  with a clearer and
more focused indication of supervisory  concerns in this area. The Bank does not
believe that this statement of policy will  materially  effect its operations in
the foreseeable future.


THE COMPANY

         As a bank holding company,  the Company is subject to regulation by the
Federal  Reserve in accordance  with the provisions of the Bank Holding  Company
Act of 1956, as amended, and the rules and regulations  promulgated  thereunder.
The Federal  Reserve may require a bank holding  company to serve as a source of
financial  strength  to its  subsidiary  depository  institution  and to  commit
resources to support such institutions in circumstances where it might not do so
absent such policy. In addition, the "cross-guarantee" provisions of the federal
law require insured  depository  institutions  under common control to reimburse
the Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation for any loss suffered or reasonably
anticipated  by either the Savings  Association  Insurance  Fund ("SAIF") or the
Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") as a result of the default of a commonly  controlled
insured  depository  institution  in  danger of  default.  The  Federal  Deposit
Insurance  Corporation's claim for damages is superior to claims of shareholders
of the insured  depository  institution or it 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
institutions.

         A bank  holding  company is required  to file with the Federal  Reserve
annual  reports  along with  those of its  subsidiaries.  It is also  subject to
examination  by the Federal  Reserve and is required to obtain  Federal  Reserve
approval prior to acquiring, directly or indirectly, ownership or control of any
voting shares of any bank if, after such  acquisition,  it would own or control,
directly  or  indirectly,  more than  5.00% of the  voting  stock of such  bank.
Furthermore, a bank holding company is, with limited exceptions, prohibited from
acquiring  direct or  indirect  ownership  or  control of more than 5.00% of any
company which is not a bank or bank holding company, and must engage only in the
business of banking or managing or controlling  banks or furnishing  services to
or performing  services for its subsidiary  banks. One of the exceptions to this
prohibition is the ownership of shares of a company, the activities of which the
Federal  Reserve has determined to be so closely  related to banking or managing
or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto.

         The Federal Reserve has determined that numerous activities are closely
related to banking,  and thus bank  holding  companies  may apply to the Federal
Reserve for permission to retain or acquire an interest in a company engaging in
or proposing to engage in these activities. The permitted non-banking activities
include  making  loans that would be made by mortgage,  finance,  credit card or
factoring   companies;   operating  as  an  industrial  bank;  servicing  loans;
performing the functions of a trust company;  leasing personal property;  making
investments  to  promote  community  welfare;   providing  bookkeeping  or  data
processing  services;  acting as  insurance  agent or  broker  with  respect  to
insurance that is directly related to the extension of credit or other financial
services  and acting as an  underwriter  for credit  life  insurance  and credit
health and accident  insurance  directly  related to extensions of credit by the
appraisal activities.  Also, an application may be filed as to other activities,
but the Federal Reserve will publish a notice of opportunity for hearing only if
it believes there is a reasonable basis for concurring in the holding  company's
opinion that the activity applied for is closely related to banking.

         A bank  holding  company  and  its  subsidiaries  are  prohibited  from
engaging in certain  tie-in  arrangements  in  connection  with the extension of
credit or  provision of any  property or service.  Thus,  an affiliate of a bank
holding  company  may not extend  credit,  lease,  sell  property or furnish any
services or fix or vary the  consideration  for these  services on the condition
that (a) the customer must obtain or provide some additional  credit,  property,
or services from or to its bank holding company or subsidiaries  thereof, or (b)
the customer  may not obtain or provide some  additional  credit,  property,  or
services  from a  competitor,  except to the extent  reasonable  conditions  are
imposed to assure soundness of credit extended.

         The Company is also  registered  under the bank holding company laws of
Virginia.  Accordingly,  the Company and its  subsidiaries  are also  subject to
regulation and supervision by the Virginia Bureau of Financial Institutions.

Federal Securities Laws

         The  Company's  Common  Stock  is  registered  with the SEC  under  the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The Company is
subject to the information, proxy solicitation,  insider trading restriction and
other  requirements  of the SEC under the  Exchange  Act.  Under the  Securities
Enforcement  and Penny  Stock  Reform Act of 1990,  the  Company may be subject,
among other  things,  to civil money  penalties  for  violations  of the federal
securities laws.

FEDERAL AND STATE TAXATION

General

         The Company and the Bank are subject to the  applicable  corporate  tax
provisions of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986,  as amended (the  "Code"),  as
well as certain additional  provisions of the Code that apply to banks and other
types of financial  institutions.  The  following  discussion  of tax matters is
intended  only  as a  summary  and  does  not  purport  to  be  a  comprehensive
description of the tax rules applicable to the Company and the Bank.

         Under the  applicable  statutes of  limitation,  the Company's  federal
income tax returns for 1994 through 1997 are open to examination by the Internal
Revenue Service (the "Service"). The Company is unaware, however, of any current
or pending Service  examinations of the Company's  returns for any of those open
years.

         Historically,  the Company has  reported its income and expenses on the
accrual  method of  accounting  and filed its  consolidated  federal  income tax
returns on a December 31, fiscal year basis.  Consolidated  tax returns have the
effect of eliminating intercompany distributions,  including dividends, from the
computation  of  consolidated  taxable  income for the taxable year in which the
distributions occur.

Corporate Minimum Tax

         The Company  and its  subsidiaries  could be subject to an  alternative
minimum  tax  ("AMT")  which  is  imposed  to the  extent  that it  exceeds  the
consolidated  group's regular tax liability for a year. The alternative  minimum
tax generally  will apply at a rate of 20% to a base of regular  taxable  income
plus certain tax  preferences  and  adjustments  ("alternative  minimum  taxable
income" or "AMTI"), less an exemption amount.  Currently no more than 90% of the
AMTI may be offset by net operating  losses (as determined  for AMTI  purposes).
Payment of the AMT may be used as a credit  against a portion of the regular tax
liabilities in future years.  The Code provisions  relating to the AMT also: (i)
treat as a preference item interest on certain tax exempt private activity bonds
issued on or after August 8, 1986; (ii) include in AMTI (for tax years beginning
after  1989) an  amount  equal  to 75% of the  amount  by which a  corporation's
adjusted  current  earnings exceed its AMTI  (determined  without regard to this
preference and before  reduction for the alternative tax net operating  losses.)
In addition,  an environmental tax of 0.12% of the excess, if any, of AMTI (with
certain  modifications)  over $2 million is imposed on corporations,  whether or
not an AMTis paid. The consolidated group was not subject to the AMT in 1997.

         The Company is permitted to exclude from its taxable income 100% of any
dividends  received  from the Bank and may  exclude  from its  income  dividends
received  from  its  subsidiaries  pursuant  to  the  regulation  applicable  to
consolidated income tax returns.  The Company and the Bank may deduct from their
income 80% of any dividends  received from an  unaffiliated  corporation if they
own at least 20% of the stock of the  corporation.  If they own less than 20% of
the stock of a corporation paying a dividend,  70% of any dividends received may
be excluded from income.

State and Local Taxation

         The  Company's  subsidiaries  (other  than the  Bank)  are  subject  to
Virginia corporate income taxes. The Virginia corporate income tax is imposed at
a rate of 6% on the  combined net income of the  Company,  and its  subsidiaries
(other than the Bank) as reported for federal  income tax purposes  with certain
modifications.

         The Bank is chartered under the laws of Virginia and,  accordingly,  is
not subject to the  Virginia  corporate  income  tax.  It is instead  subject to
Virginia's  Bank  Franchise  Tax.  Under this system,  the Bank's net capital is
subject to tax at a rate of one  percent.  Net capital is composed  generally of
the equity accounts  (common stock,  additional  paid-in  capital,  and retained
earnings)  adjusted  for  investments  in real and  personal  property,  certain
reserves and certain securities exempt from state taxation.



Item 2. PROPERTIES

         The Bank  owns  three of its  banking  locations,  841  North  Military
Highway,  200 East Plume  Street and 4815 Colley  Avenue in  Norfolk,  Virginia.
Management believes these locations are in excellent condition.  A third banking
location  and the bank's  operations  center are located at 1450 South  Military
Highway in Chesapeake, Virginia. See "IBV Real Estate Holdings, Inc." under Item
1 and "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions" under Item 12.

Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         The Company is subject to claims and lawsuits which arise  primarily in
the ordinary  course of business.  Based on information  presently  available to
management  and advice  received from legal  counsel,  there are no  meritorious
claims involving the Company.

Item 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITIES HOLDERS

         No matters were  submitted to a vote of securities  holders  during the
fourth quarter of 1997.

Item 5.  MARKET FOR  THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON STOCK AND RELATED
         STOCKHOLDER MATTERS


         There is a limited public market for the Company's  common stock. It is
not listed for trading on a registered  exchange.  There are no "market  makers"
for the  stock.  Trades in the  common  stock  occur on a local  basis.  Scott &
Stringfellow  Inc., a Virginia  brokerage firm,  attempts to match orders to buy
and sell the common stock.  Accordingly,  there is no established public trading
market for shares of common stock, and quotations do not necessarily reflect the
price that would be paid in an active,  liquid market. There can be no assurance
an active  trading market will develop in the future.  The following  table sets
forth the  closing  high and low sales  price for the common  stock by  calendar
quarters  for  the  past  two  years  as  reported  to the  Company  by  Scott &
Stringfellow Inc.

First Quarter                7.75            7.00


         At March 24,  1998,  there  are 1,345  record  holders  of the  797,250
outstanding shares of common stock.

         As of March 24,  1998 , the most  recent  sales  price of common  stock
known to the Company was $19.00 per share.

         The  Company's  Board  of  Directors   determines  whether  to  declare
dividends  and the amount of such  dividends.  Determinations  by the Board take
into account the Company's financial condition,  results of operations,  capital
requirements,  general  business  conditions  and other  relevant  factors.  The
Company's  principal source of funds for cash dividends is the dividends paid to
the Company by the Bank. The Company  declared and paid annual dividends of $.14
and $.12 per share in 1997 and 1996,  respectively.  Regulatory  restrictions on
the payment of dividends  by the Bank to the Company are  disclosed in Note 3 to
the   Consolidated   Financial   Statements   for   additional   information  on
restrictions.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY:

         In 1997,  net income for  Heritage  Bankshares,  Inc.  (the  "Company")
totaled  $980,000  compared to $870,000 earned in 1996.  Heritage Bank & Trust's
(the "Bank") net income was $972,000 and net holding  company income was $8,000.
In 1996, Heritage Bank & Trust's net income was $878,000 and net holding company
expenses were $8,000.
Basic earnings per common share in 1997 was $1.24 compared to $1.11 in 1996.
Diluted  earnings  per common  share was $1.17 and 1.09 at December 31, 1997 and
1996, respectively.

               The 1997  provision  for loan losses was $88,000  compared to the
1996 provision of $93,000.  Net interest  income  increased  $391,000 in 1997 to
$3,277,000, from $2,886,000 in 1996.

               Total assets  increased at the end of 1997 to $83,002,000.  Total
assets at the end of 1996 were $76,846,000.  Net loans increased $5,982,000 from
$45,259,000  at the end of  1996 to  $51,242,000  at the end of  1996.  Deposits
increased  from  $68,427,000 at December 31, 1996 to $72,797,000 at December 31,
1997.

LIQUIDITY:

               Liquidity  is the  ability  of the  Company to  efficiently  fund
depositors'  withdrawals and extensions of credit to borrowers.  The Company and
Heritage Bank & Trust must consider both immediate  liquidity  needs, as well as
the long-term  matching of maturing loans and  investments  with  obligations to
depositors.

               The Company's  Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, found in the
Consolidated Financial Statements,  provides information as to cash provided and
used from operating,  investing and financing activities.  At December 31, 1997,
cash and cash  equivalents  available  to meet  immediate  liquidity  needs  and
reserve  requirements were $5,716,000.  The Bank also has borrowing  capacity of
$5.9 million,  as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System.  As of December
31, 1997, no amounts have been drawn on this line of credit.

               The Company's cash and cash  equivalents  decreased by $3,277,000
in 1997  compared  to a $50,000  increase  in 1996.  Net cash used by  investing
activities was  $9,278,000 in 1997 and  $9,555,000 in 1996. In both years,  this
was primarily due to growth in both the loan and investment portfolios. In 1997,
gross  loans  increased   $6,029,000  and  the  investment   portfolio  grew  by
$2,399,000.  In 1996, gross loans increased $2,320,000 and investment securities
increased $7,194,000.  The increase in loans in both years is largely due to the
expansion of current customer  relationships.  In 1997, the net cash provided by
financing activities of $4,852,000, is largely due to the $4,370,000 increase in
deposits.  In 1996, net cash provided by financing  activities of $8,692,000 was
primarily  due to the  increase in  deposits of  $7,374,000.  The  expansion  of
current   customer   relationships   and  the  bank's  continued  sales  efforts
contributed to these increases.

PARENT HOLDING COMPANY LIQUIDITY:

              The    parent    holding    company    incurred    expenses    for
stockholder-related activities, stock transfer and other functions necessary for
the administration of the Company.

                See  Note 3 of the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  for the
parent company's Cash Flow Statement for further information on cash provided or
used by the  parent  for  operating,  financing  and  investing  activities.  In
addition, certain restrictions on cash dividends, loans and advances are imposed
by regulation of the Bank, which are also disclosed in Note 3.

RATE SENSITIVITY:

               At December  31, 1997,  the Company  had, on a cumulative  basis,
$12,508,000  more in  liabilities  subject  to  repricing  within  one year than
assets. It is management's view that the Company is an asset-sensitive  company.
This view is based on the fact that  historically  the  Company's  earnings have
been more favorable during periods of increasing interest rates.

               Table 4 provides an interest  sensitivity analysis as of December
31, 1997.

NET INTEREST INCOME:

               Net interest income is the difference  between interest earned on
loans,  investment  securities and short-term  investments  and interest paid on
deposits,  securities sold under  agreements to repurchase and other  short-term
borrowing.  Material  factors  affecting net interest income  included  interest
rates earned on loans and  investments  and those paid on deposits,  the mix and
volume of earning  assets  and  interest-bearing  liabilities,  and the level of
noninterest-bearing liabilities.

               Net  interest  income   increased  from  $2,886,000  in  1996  to
$3,277,000 in 1997, a $391,000 increase.  The increase is primarily attributable
to the 13% increase in gross loans.  The growth in loans is an indication of the
Bank's growing sales effectiveness.

            Table 5 presents  the  components  of net interest  income.  Table 6
allocates changes in volume and rate on net interest earnings.

ASSET QUALITY

PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES:

               The  provision  for loan  losses is charged to  operations  in an
amount  sufficient  to  maintain  the  allowance  for  loan  losses  at a  level
management  considers adequate to provide for future loan losses inherent in the
loan  portfolio.  Loans are  charged  against  this  allowance  when  management
perceives the collection of the loan is unlikely.  The level of the allowance is
based upon  management's  ongoing  review of the loan portfolio and includes the
present and  prospective  financial  condition of  borrowers,  consideration  of
actual loan loss experience and projected economic conditions in general and for
the Bank's service area.

               In 1997, the provision for loan losses was $88,000, a 5% decrease
compared to the $93,000 provision for loan losses in 1996. Net loans charged-off
in 1997 were $42,000 compared to $13,000 in 1996.

               Table 7 summarizes  activity in the Allowance for Loan Losses and
provides  statistics on nonperforming  assets and past due loans.  There were no
restructured loans, as defined by applicable securities rules and regulations.

         A breakdown of the  allowance is provided in Table 8;  however,  such a

</TABLE>

          At December 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, loans on either nonaccrual
status or loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing  amounted to $42,000
and $28,000,  respectively.  At December 31, 1997, the Company had approximately
$828,000  of loans that have been  internally  classified,  and  $823,000  which
require more than normal attention and are potential  problem loans. The Company
has considered  these loans in establishing  the level of the allowance for loan
losses. At December 31, 1996, loans that had been internally classified or which
required  more than  normal  attention  and were  potential  problem  loans were
$668,000 and $699,000, respectively.

CREDIT RISK AND REGULATORY MATTERS:

               Credit  risk,  the risk of loss  from  default,  is  inherent  in
lending.  While  management  uses available  information to recognize  losses on
loans,  future  additions to the allowance may be necessary  based on changes in
economic conditions. Management and the board of director of the Company believe
the  allowance is a reasonable  estimate of potential  loss exposure in the loan
portfolio at year end, however,  many factors affecting the ability of borrowers
to repay  their  loans,  including  economic  factors  beyond the control of the
Company or the borrowers, will impact this estimate on an ongoing basis.

               Reports of  examinations  furnished by state and federal  banking
authorities are also considered by management.  Regulatory agencies periodically
review the  allowance for loan losses as part of their  examination  process and
may require the Bank to  recognize  additions  to the  allowance  based on their
judgment  of  information  available  to them at the time of their  examination.
During 1997,  regulators did not perform a regular examination of the Company or
the Bank. A federal  examination was conducted in the fourth quarter of 1996 for
the balance  sheet dated  September  30, 1996. No additions to the allowance for
loan losses were recommended as a result of the examination.

NONPERFORMING ASSETS:

               Nonperforming  assets  consist of loans on nonaccrual  status and
other real estate owned.  Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when they become
over 90 days  past due  unless  such  loans  are fully  collateralized  and,  in
management's judgment, are collectible. Other real estate owned consists of real
estate  acquired in settlement  of loans.  These  properties  are carried at the
lower of cost or estimated fair value. Losses from the acquisition of other real
estate  owned  in full or  partial  satisfaction  of a loan are  charged  to the
allowance  for  loan  losses.  Subsequent  declines  in  value  or  losses  upon
disposition are charged to noninterest expense.

               Table 9 provides an analysis of the size,  number and  collateral
composition of nonperforming assets at December 31, 1997.

NONINTEREST  INCOME:

              Noninterest  income  increased  $42,000  or 17% from  1997 to 1996
primarily due to an increase in charges on deposit accounts. A reimbursement for
site  improvements on City property due to the construction of the Bank's Colley
Avenue  office in Norfolk of $13,000  attributed  to the 25%  increase  in other
income.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE:

              Noninterest  expense  increased  $106,000 or 5% from 1996 to 1997.
The increase  relates to additional  salary  expenses due to the addition of the
Bank's Colley Avenue location.  Also,  employee benefit costs increased 18% from
$165,000 in 1996 to $195,000 at December 31, 1997.  Increased  costs  related to
health benefits and the addition of an Employee's  Stock Ownership Plan were the
chief components of the increase at $7,000 and $12,000, respectively.

INCOME TAXES:

                For the year ended December 31, 1997, the Company  recognized an
expense of  $440,000.  This  represents  a $222,000  increase  from the $218,000
expense  for 1996.  See Note 11 of the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  for
additional information with respect to income taxes.

YEAR 2000 PROJECT:

         Heritage  Bankshares,  Inc.  has  undertaken  a variety of  measures to
ensure that the  Company's  hardware and  software  systems will be century date
compliant.  The Company has  established  a project  team and plan,  completed a
hardware and software  inventory,  developed an impact assessment rating and has
assigned a rating to the areas  identified.  The company has initiated  contacts
with  vendors for specific  product  compliance  confirmation.  Testing of these
systems is expected to be  completed  by  year-end  1998 and is not  expected to
result in material  additional costs. The Bank has compiled a list of commercial
customers who will be contacted  regarding  their Year 2000 readiness  plans. In
1997, the Company's progress in addressing the Year 2000 issues were reviewed by
the Federal  Reserve Bank.  Based upon the results of the impact  assessment and
information  provided  by  vendors,   management  believes  that  its  plan  for
determining  century date  compliance  is adequate and that the Company will not
incur significant incremental costs to achieve compliance.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

         The Financial  Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement No.
130, Reporting  Comprehensive  Income. This Statement  establishes standards for
reporting  and display of  comprehensive  income and its  components  (revenues,
expenses,  gains,  or  losses)  in  a  full  set  of  general-purpose  financial
statements, and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.
This Statement  requires that all items that are required to be recognized under
accounting  standards as  components  of  comprehensive  income be reported in a
financial  statement  that is  displayed  with  the  same  prominence  as  other
financial statements. This Statement does not require a specific format for that
financial   statement  but  requires  that  an  enterprise   display  an  amount
representing  total  comprehensive  income  for the  period  in  that  financial
statement. This Statement also requires that an enterprise (a) classify items of
other  comprehensive  income by their  nature in a financial  statement  and (b)
display the accumulated  balance of other  comprehensive  income separately from
retained  earnings and  additional  paid-in  capital in the equity  section of a
statement of financial  position.  The Company is currently assessing the impact
of this statement on its future financial statement  presentation.  However, the
only known item of other comprehensive income to which this standard would apply
is unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities.

         FASB  Statement No. 131,  Disclosures  about Segments of an Enterprise,
establishes  standards  for the way  that  public  business  enterprises  report
information about operating  segments in annual financial  statements,  requires
that those enterprises  report selected  information about operating segments in
interim  financial reports issued to shareholders and is effective for financial
statements for periods  beginning  after December 15, 1997. It also  establishes
standards for related  disclosures  about  products and  services,  geographical
areas  and major  customers.  This  Statement  requires  that a public  business
enterprise  report  financial and descriptive  information  about its reportable
operating  segments.  Operating  segments are components of an enterprise  about
which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by
the chief operating  decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in
assessing  performance.  Generally,  financial  information  is  required  to be
reported  on the  basis  that  it is  used  internally  for  evaluating  segment
performance and deciding how to allocate resources to segments.

         This Statement also requires that a public business enterprise report a
measure of segment profit or loss,  certain  specific revenue and expense items,
and segment assets. It requires reconciliations of total segment revenues, total
segment profit or loss,  total segment assets,  and other amounts  disclosed for
segments to corresponding amounts in the enterprises's general-purpose financial
statements.  It requires that all public business enterprises report information
about the  revenues  derived  from the  enterprises's  products or services  (or
groups of similar  products  and  services),  about the  countries  in which the
enterprise earns revenues and holds assets, and about major customers regardless
of whether that information is used in making operating decisions. However, this
Statement  does not  require an  enterprise  to report  information  that is not
prepared for internal use if reporting it would be impracticable.  Management is
currently  assessing  the  impact  of this  statement  on its  future  financial
statement disclosures.

         FASB Statement No. 132, Employers'  Disclosures about Pension and Other
Post Retirement Benefits,  revises disclosures  regarding pension and other post
retirement benefits and standardizes certain disclosure  requirements  regarding
these  items.  This  Statement is effective  for fiscal  years  beginning  after
December 15, 1997.  Management will assess the impact, if any, of this Statement
on the Company's future disclosures.

DEFERRED COMPENSATION AND RETIREMENT ARRANGEMENTS

         In 1985,  Heritage Bank & Trust entered into deferred  compensation and
retirement  arrangements with seven directors and one officer.  Each participant
is fully vested.  The Company's policy is to accrue the estimated  amounts to be
paid  under  the  contracts  over the  expected  period  of  active  service  or
employment.

         Upon  reaching  age 70,  each  participant  will  receive a  retirement
benefit  ranging  from $391 to $3,355 per month for each of the next 120 months.
If the  participant  dies prior to reaching age 70, his  beneficiary  will begin
receiving the monthly retirement benefits. The bank has purchased life insurance
contracts  in  order  to  fund  the  expected  liabilities  under  the  deferred
compensation  arrangements.  As of December 31, 1997,  Heritage Bank & Trust had
accrued $208,239 to reflect the anticipated liability.

         In 1990, Robert J. Keogh,  President of Heritage Bank & Trust, became a
participant in the Heritage Bank & Trust  Executive  Security Plan. In the event
Mr. Keogh dies prior to age 65, his beneficiary will receive monthly payments of
$4,167 for each of the next 180 months. Upon his retirement at age 65, Mr. Keogh
will  receive  $4,167  per  month  for each of the next 180  months or until his
death, and thereafter other beneficiaries will receive such retirement benefits.
Heritage Bank & Trust funds this obligation  through a life insurance  contract.
Heritage Bank & Trust had accrued $61,756 as of December 31, 1997 to reflect the
anticipated liability.

         Effective January 1, 1984, the Board of Directors adopted an Employee's
Stock Bonus Plan and Trust (the  "ESOP").  The ESOP  covered  substantially  all
employees,  whereby funds contributed were used to purchase  outstanding  common
stock of the Company.  Contributions were allocated to the participants based on
the  employee/participant's  annual compensation.  Employee  participants in the
ESOP included all  employees  who have reached the age of 21 and have  completed
one year of service  (1,000  hours),  beginning  with the effective  date of the
ESOP.  Benefits were payable upon  separation  from service or upon  retirement,
disability or death. Employees are 30% vested with respect to the benefits under
the ESOP in three  years  and the  vested  percentage  was  increased  annually,
reaching 100% after seven years.  Participants were automatically 100% vested in
the ESOP upon reaching age 65, death or disability. Participants vote all shares
allocated  to their  respective  accounts  and the trustees of the ESOP vote any
unallocated shares. The Board of Directors of the Company has the right to amend
or terminate the ESOP and trust at any time. The Company made no contribution to
the plan for years ending  December 31, 1997 and 1996.  In October of 1995,  the
trustees of the ESOP voted to  terminate  the plan and the  participants  in the
plan were notified of their options  concerning  distribution of their shares in
the plan in  accordance  with the  terms of the  ESOP  and  applicable  law.  At
December 31, 1997, 25,761 of the 25,934 shares in the plan had been distributed.

         Effective  January 1, 1993, the Board of Directors adopted a Retirement
Program (the "401K").  The Company may contribute cash to the 401K annually,  as
determined  each year by the Board of Directors.  Contributions  to the 401K are
allocated to its participants based on the employee/participant's  contributions
to the plan.  Eligible  participants  in the 401K include all employees who have
completed six months of service (500 hours) beginning with the effective date of
the  401K.  Benefits  will be  payable  upon  separation  from  service  or upon
retirement,  disability  or death.  Employees are 20% vested with respect to the
benefits  under the 401K in two years and the  vested  percentage  is  increased
annually,  reaching 100% after six years.  Participants are  automatically  100%
vested in the 401K upon  reaching age 65, death or  disability.  The Company has
the right to amend or  terminate  the 401K.  The  Company  expensed  $36,000 and
$28,000 for plan  contributions  for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.

         Effective January 1, 1997, the Board of Directors adopted an Employee's
Stock Ownership Plan (the "ESOP").  The ESOP covers substantially all employees,
whereby funds contributed are used to purchase  outstanding  common stock of the
Company.   Contributions  are  allocated  to  the  participants   based  on  the
employee/participant's  annual compensation.  Employee  participants in the ESOP
includes all employees who have  completed six months of service  beginning with
the  effective  date of the ESOP.  Benefits  are payable  upon  separation  from
service or upon retirement,  disability or death.  Employees are 20% vested with
respect to the benefits under the ESOP in three years and the vested  percentage
increases   annually,   reaching  100%  after  seven  years.   Participants  are
automatically 100% vested in the ESOP upon reaching age 65, death or disability.
Participants  vote all shares  allocated  to their  respective  accounts and the
trustees of the ESOP vote any unallocated  shares. The Board of Directors of the
Company has the right to amend or  terminate  the ESOP at any time.  The Company
expensed $12,000 for plan contributions for the year ended December 31, 1997.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS:

         Directors of the Company and Directors of Heritage Bank & Trust receive
$400 for each Board of Directors'  meeting  attended and $100 for each committee
meeting attended.

The Stockholders and Board of Directors
Heritage Bankshares, Inc.
Norfolk, Virginia


           We have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets of
Heritage  Bankshares,  Inc. and its  subsidiaries at December 31, 1997 and 1996,
and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash
flows for the years then ended. 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  consolidated  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  consolidated  financial
position of Heritage  Bankshares,  Inc. and its  subsidiaries as of December 31,
1997 and 1996, and the  consolidated  results of their operations and their cash
flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted  accounting
principles.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

        Cash Equivalents

        For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents  include
cash on hand,  amounts due from banks,  interest bearing deposits with banks and
federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds are sold for one-day periods.

        Securities

        Investments in debt  securities  that management has the positive intent
and  ability  to hold to  maturity  are  classified  as "held to  maturity"  and
reflected at amortized cost. Investments that are purchased and held principally
for the purpose of selling  them in the near term,  if any,  are  classified  as
"trading  securities"  and reflected at fair value,  with  unrealized  gains and
losses  included in earnings.  Investments not classified as either of the above
are  classified  as  "available  for sale" and  reflected  at fair  value,  with
unrealized  gains and losses excluded from operations and reported as a separate
component of stockholders' equity.

        Premiums  and  discounts  are  recognized  in interest  income using the
interest   method  over  the  period  to  maturity   on   held-to-maturity   and
available-for-sale  securities.  Other-than-temporary declines in the fair value
of individual held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities, if any, result
in write-downs of the individual  securities to fair value. Gains and losses are
determined using the specific-identification method.

        Loans

        Loans  are  reported  at  their  principal  outstanding  balance  net of
charge-offs,  deferred loan fees and costs on originated loans, unearned income,
and  unamortized  premiums or discounts,  if any, on purchased  loans.  Interest
income is generally  recognized when income is earned using the interest method.
Loan origination fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred and
the net amounts are amortized as an adjustment to yield on the respective loans.

        Allowance for Loan Losses

        The Bank accounts for loan losses in accordance  with FASB Statement No.
114,  Accounting by Creditors for  Impairment of a Loan.  Under the standard,  a
loan is considered  impaired,  based on current information and events, if it is
probable  that the Bank will be unable to  collect  the  scheduled  payments  of
principal or interest  when due according to the  contractual  terms of the loan
agreement.  The  measurement of impaired loans is generally based on the present
value of  expected  future cash flows  discounted  at the  historical  effective
interest  rate,  except that all  collateral-dependent  loans are  measured  for
impairment based on the fair value of the collateral.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

        Allowance for Loan Losses (continued)

        The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is periodically  evaluated
by the Bank, in order to maintain the allowance at a level that is sufficient to
absorb  probable credit losses.  Management's  evaluation of the adequacy of the
allowance is based on a review of the Bank's  historical loss experience,  known
and inherent risks in the loan portfolio,  including adverse  circumstances that
may affect the ability of the borrower to repay interest and/or  principal,  the
estimated  value of  collateral,  and an  analysis  of the  levels and trends of
delinquencies, charge-offs, and the risk ratings of the various loan categories.
Such factors as the level and trend of interest  rates and the  condition of the
national  and  local  economies  are  also  considered.  In  addition,   various
regulatory  agencies,   as  an  integral  part  of  their  examination  process,
periodically  review the Bank's allowance for losses on loans. Such agencies may
require  the  Bank to  recognize  additions  to the  allowance  based  on  their
judgements of information available to them at the time of their examination.

        The allowance for loan losses is established through charges to earnings
in the form of a provision  for loan  losses.  Increases  and  decreases  in the
allowance due to changes in the  measurement of impaired  loans,  if applicable,
are included in the provision for loan losses.  Loans  continue to be classified
as  impaired  unless  they are  brought  fully  current  and the  collection  of
scheduled interest and principal is considered probable.

        When a loan or portion of a loan is determined to be uncollectible,  the
portion  deemed  uncollectible  is charged  against the allowance and subsequent
recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

        Income Recognition on Impaired and Nonaccrual Loans

        Loans,  including impaired loans, are generally classified as nonaccrual
if they are past due as to maturity or payment of  principal  or interest  for a
period of more than 90 days,  unless  such  loans  are  well-secured  and in the
process  of  collection.  If a loan  or a  portion  of a loan is  classified  as
doubtful,  or is partially  charged off,  the loan is  generally  classified  as
nonaccrual.  Loans that are on a current payment status or past due less than 90
days may also be  classified  as  nonaccrual,  if repayment in full of principal
and/or interest is in doubt.

        Loans may be returned to accrual  status when all principal and interest
amounts  contractually  due (including  arrearages)  are  reasonably  assured of
repayment  within an acceptable  period of time, and there is a sustained period
of repayment performance (generally a minimum of six months) by the borrower, in
accordance with the contractual terms of interest and principal.

        While a loan is classified as nonaccrual  and the future  collectibility
of the recorded loan balance is doubtful,  collections of interest and principal
are generally applied as a reduction to principal  outstanding.  When the future
collectibility of the recorded loan balance is expected,  interest income may be
recognized  on a cash  basis.  In the  case  where a  nonaccrual  loan  had been
partially  charged  off,  recognition  of interest on a cash basis is limited to
that which  would  have been  recognized  on the  recorded  loan  balance at the
contractual  interest rate. Cash interest  receipts in excess of that amount are
recorded as recoveries to the allowance for loan losses until prior  charge-offs
have been fully recovered.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

        Other Real Estate Owned

        Other real estate  owned is  comprised  of real estate and other  assets
acquired through  foreclosure,  acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure,  or
loans in which the Bank receives  physical  possession  of the debtor's  assets.
Other real estate  owned is carried at the lower of the recorded  investment  in
the loan or the fair value less estimated costs to sell. Upon transfer of a loan
to  foreclosed  status,  an  appraisal  is  obtained  and any excess of the loan
balance over the fair value less estimated  costs to sell is charged against the
provision for credit losses.  Revenues and expenses,  and subsequent adjustments
to fair value less  estimated  costs to sell are  classified  as an expense  for
other real estate owned.

        Restructured Loans

        Loans are considered troubled debt  restructurings  under FASB Statement
No. 15, Accounting by Debtors and Creditors for Troubled Debt Restructurings, if
for economic or legal  reasons,  a  concession  has been granted to the borrower
related to the borrower's  financial  difficulties  that the Bank would not have
otherwise considered. The Bank has restructured certain loans in instances where
a determination  was made that greater economic value will be realized under new
terms than through foreclosure,  liquidation, or other disposition. The terms of
the   renegotiation   generally   involve   some   or  all   of  the   following
characteristics:  a  reduction  in the  interest  pay  rate  to  reflect  actual
operating  income,  an  extension  of the loan  maturity  date to allow time for
stabilization  of operating  income,  and partial  forgiveness  of principal and
interest.

        The carrying value of a  restructured  loan is reduced by the fair value
of any  assets or  equity  interest  received,  if any.  Prior to  demonstrating
performance,  the Bank generally classifies impaired restructured loans, if any,
as nonaccrual.  The accrual of interest  resumes when such loans can demonstrate
performance,  generally  evidenced  by six months of pre- or  post-restructuring
payment  performance  in  accordance  with  the  restructured  terms,  or by the
presence  of  other   significant   factors.   In  addition,   at  the  time  of
restructuring,  loans are generally  classified as impaired. A restructured loan
that is not  impaired,  based on the  restructured  terms  and that has a stated
interest rate greater than or equal to a market interest rate at the date of the
restructuring,  is reclassified as unimpaired in the year immediately  following
the year it was disclosed as restructured.

        Premises and Equipment

        Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
For financial  reporting  purposes,  assets are depreciated over their estimated
useful  lives  using the  straight-line  method.  For income tax  purposes,  the
accelerated  cost  recovery  system and the modified  accelerated  cost recovery
system are used.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

        Income Taxes

        The Company files a consolidated tax return. Provisions for income taxes
reflect tax expense  incurred as a consolidated  group. Tax expense is allocated
among the members of the  consolidated  group in accordance with an intercompany
agreement for tax expense.  Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of the
transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently
due plus deferred taxes related  primarily to  differences  between the basis of
investment securities,  deferred loan fees, allowance for loan losses, allowance
for losses on  foreclosed  real estate,  accumulated  depreciation  and deferred
compensation for financial and income tax reporting. The deferred tax assets and
liabilities  represent the future tax return  consequences of those differences,
which will either be taxable or deductible  when the assets and  liabilities are
recovered or settled,  and the  deferred  tax asset or liability  created by the
difference in fair value and amortized cost of available-for-sale securities.

        Deferred Compensation Plans

        The Bank maintains  deferred  compensation  and retirement  arrangements
with certain  directors  and  officers.  The  Company's  policy is to accrue the
estimated  amounts to be paid under the  contracts  over the expected  period of
active  employment.  The Bank  purchased  life  insurance  contracts to fund the
expected liabilities under the contracts.

        Off-Balance-Sheet Financial Instruments

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

        Use of Estimates

        The  preparation  of financial  statements  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.

        Material  estimates  that are  particularly  susceptible  to significant
change relate to the  determination of the allowance for losses on loans and the
valuation  of  real  estate  acquired  in  connection  with  foreclosures  or in
satisfaction of loans. In connection  with the  determination  of the allowances
for losses on loans and foreclosed real estate,  management obtains  independent
appraisals  for  significant   properties.   While   management  uses  available
information  to recognize  losses on loans and  foreclosed  real estate,  future
additions to the allowances may be necessary  based on changes in local economic
conditions and other factors.

        Earnings per Share

        The Company  adopted FASB  Statement  No. 128,  Earnings  Per Share,  on
December 31, 1997.  This  Statement  establishes  standards  for  computing  and
presenting  earnings  per  share  (EPS).  This  Statement  supersedes  standards
previously set in APB Opinion No. 15, Earnings Per Share. FASB 128 requires dual
presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income  statement,  and
requires a  reconciliation  of the  numerator and  denominator  of the basic EPS
computation  with the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS  computation.
This Statement is effective for financial  statements  issued for periods ending
after December 15, 1997. In accordance with the  requirements of this Statement,
all prior period EPS data have been  restated to reflect the change in reporting
requirements.

        Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available
to common shareholders by the weighted-average  number of shares outstanding for
the period.  Diluted EPS reflects  the  potential  dilution  that could occur if
securities or other  contracts to issue common stock were  exercised,  converted
into common  stock or resulted in the  issuance of common stock that then shared
in the earnings of the entity.

        Reclassifications

        Certain  reclassifications  have  been  made  to  prior  year  financial
statements to conform them to the current year's presentation.

NOTE 10 - STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS

        At December 31, 1997,  the Bank has fixed stock  compensation  plans for
its officers.  The Bank applies Accounting  Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB
25),  Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,  and related  interpretations in
accounting for its plans. Accordingly,  no compensation cost has been recognized
for these plans  against  earnings.  For those  companies  applying APB 25, FASB
Statement No. 123,  Accounting for Stock-Based  Compensation,  requires  certain
pro-forma  disclosures  of net income  and  earnings  per share.  Net income and
earnings  per share  computed  under FASB  Statement  No. 123 do not  materially
differ from the amounts reported.

        All options have ten year terms,  vest and become fully  exercisable  in
three years. The option exercise price equals or exceeds the market price of the
stock as of the date the option was granted.  The  following is a summary of the

NOTE 12 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES- RELATED PARTY

        The Company has entered into a long-term  lease with a related  party to
provide space for one branch and the Bank's  operations  center.  This lease has
been classified as an operating lease for financial reporting  purposes.  Future
minimum  lease  payments of $64,439 are required  each year for five years under
the long-term  non-cancellable  lease  agreement as of December 31, 1996,  which
expires in December,  2001.  Total lease expense was $64,440 and $75,810 for the
years 1997 and 1996, respectively.


NOTE 13 - OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

        The Bank  has  loan and  deposit  transactions  with  its  officers  and
directors,  and with  companies  in which  the  officers  and  directors  have a
financial interest.  Related party deposits amounted to approximately $7,270,000
and $5,500,000 at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  All securities sold
under agreements to repurchase were transacted with related  parties.  A summary
of related party loan activity for Heritage Bank and Trust is as follows  during
1997:


Balance, December 31, 1996                      $  3,407,346

NOTE 13 - OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (Continued)

        In the opinion of Management, such loans are made in the ordinary course
of business at normal  credit  terms,  including  interest  rate and  collateral
requirements and do not represent more than normal credit risk.

        In  the  ordinary  course  of  business,  the  Company  has  engaged  in
transactions  with certain of its  directors'  companies for legal  services and
insurance.

        Commitments  to extend  credit and letters of credit to related  parties
amounted  to  $1,181,800   and   $1,166,800  at  December  31,  1997  and  1996,
respectively.


NOTE 14 - CREDIT COMMITMENTS AND CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

        The Bank has  outstanding  at any time a  significant  dollar  amount of
commitments to extend  credit.  To accommodate  major  customers,  the Bank also
provides  standby  letters  of credit and  guarantees  to third  parties.  Those
arrangements  are subject to strict credit control  assessments.  Guarantees and
standby letters of credit specify limits to the Bank's obligations.  The amounts
of loan commitments, guarantees and standby letters of credit are set out in the
following table as of December 31, 1997 and 1996.  Because many  commitments and
almost all standby letters of credit and guarantees  expire without being funded
in whole or in part,  the  contract  amounts  are not  estimates  of future cash
flows.  The majority of  commitments to extend credit have terms up to one year.
Interest rates on fixed-rate commitments range from 14% to 18%.

NOTE 14 - CREDIT COMMITMENTS AND CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK (Continued)

        Loan commitments,  standby letters of credit and guarantees written have
off-balance-sheet  credit risk  because only  origination  fees and accruals for
probable losses, if any, are recognized in the statement of financial  position,
until  the  commitments  are  fulfilled  or the  standby  letters  of  credit or
guarantees  expire.  Credit risk  represents the  accounting  loss that would be
recognized at the reporting date if counterparties  failed completely to perform
as  contracted.  The credit risk amounts are equal to the  contractual  amounts,
assuming that the amounts are fully  advanced and that,  in accordance  with the
requirements  of  FASB  Statement  No.  105,  Disclosure  of  Information  about
Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk and Financial Instruments with
Concentrations of Credit Risk,  collateral or other security is of no value. The
Bank's  policy  is to  require  customers  to  provide  collateral  prior to the
disbursement  of approved  loans.  For retail loans,  the Bank usually retains a
security  interest  in  the  property  or  products  financed,   which  provides
repossession rights in the event of default by the customer.  For business loans
and  financial  guarantees,  collateral  is usually in the form of  inventory or
marketable securities (held in trust) or property (notations on title).

        Concentrations  of credit risk (whether on or off balance sheet) arising
from financial  instruments exist in relation to certain groups of customers.  A
group concentration arises when a number of counterparties have similar economic
characteristics  that would cause their ability to meet contractual  obligations
to be similarly  affected by changes in economic or other  conditions.  The Bank
does not have significant  exposure to any individual  customer or counterparty.
The major concentrations of credit risk for the Bank arise by customer loan type
in relation to loans and credit commitments,  as shown in the following table. A
geographic   concentration   arises  because  the  Bank  operates  primarily  in
southeastern Virginia.

        The credit risk amounts represent the maximum accounting loss that would
be recognized  at the  reporting  date if  counterparties  failed  completely to
perform as contracted and any  collateral or security  proved to be of no value.
The  Bank  has  experienced  little  difficulty  in  accessing  collateral  when
required. The amounts of credit risk shown,  therefore,  greatly exceed expected
losses, which are included in the allowance for loan losses.

NOTE 15 - REGULATORY MATTERS

         The  Bank  is  subject  to  various  regulatory  capital   requirements
administered  by the federal banking  agencies.  Failure to meet minimum capital
requirements   can  initiate   certain   mandatory,   and  possibly   additional
discretionary,  actions by regulators  that, if undertaken,  could have a direct
material  effect on the Bank's  financial  statements.  Under  capital  adequacy
guidelines and the regulatory  framework for prompt corrective  action, the Bank
must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative  measures of the
Bank's assets,  liabilities,  and certain  off-balance-sheet items as calculated
under  regulatory   accounting   practices.   The  Bank's  capital  amounts  and
classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about
components (such as interest rate risk), risk weighting, and other factors.

         Quantitative  measures  established  by  regulation  to ensure  capital
adequacy  require the Bank to maintain  minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in
the table below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the  regulations) to
risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average
assets (as  defined).  Management  believes,  as of December 31, 1997,  the Bank
meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

         As of September 30, 1996, the most recent notification from the Federal
Reserve  Bank of Richmond  categorized  the Bank as well  capitalized  under the
regulatory  framework for prompt  corrective  action.  To be categorized as well
capitalized,   the  Bank  must  maintain  minimum  total  risk-  based,  Tier  I
risk-based,  and Tier I 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.

         The Bank's actual capital  amounts and ratios are also presented in the
table.

NOTE 16 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)

        Estimation of Fair Values

        The following notes summarize the major methods and assumptions  used in
estimating the fair value of financial instruments:

        Short-term  financial  instruments are valued at their carrying  amounts
included in the Bank's  balance sheet,  which are  reasonable  estimates of fair
value due to the relatively  short period to maturity of the  instruments.  This
approach  applies  to cash  and cash  equivalents,  short-term  borrowings,  and
securities sold under agreements to repurchase.

        Loans are valued on the basis of estimated  future receipts of principal
and  interest,  which are  discounted at various  rates.  Loan  prepayments  are
assumed to occur at the same rate as in previous  periods  when  interest  rates
were at levels  similar to current  levels.  Future  cash flows for  homogeneous
categories of consumer  loans,  such as motor vehicle loans,  are estimated on a
portfolio  basis and  discounted at current rates offered for similar loan terms
to new  borrowers  with similar  credit  profiles.  The fair value of nonaccrual
loans also is estimated on a present value basis,  using higher  discount  rates
appropriate to the higher risk involved.

        Investment  securities  are valued at quoted market prices if available.
For unquoted securities, the fair value is estimated by the Bank on the basis of
financial and other information.

        The fair value of demand deposits and deposits with no defined  maturity
is taken to be the amount  payable  on demand at the  reporting  date.  The fair
value of fixed - maturity  deposits is estimated using rates  currently  offered
for deposits of similar remaining maturities.  The intangible value of long-term
relationships  with  depositors is not taken into account in estimating the fair
values disclosed.

        The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.

        It is not  practicable  to  separately  estimate  the  fair  values  for
off-balance-sheet  credit  commitments,  including standby letters of credit and
guarantees  written,  due to the  lack of cost  effective  reliable  measurement
methods for these instruments.

                          EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN

                            SUMMARY PLAN DESCRIPTION

                                        I
                            INTRODUCTION TO YOUR PLAN

         Heritage Bankshares, Inc. wishes to recognize the efforts its employees
have made to its success and to reward them by adopting a Stock Bonus Plan. This
Plan  will  be for  the  exclusive  benefit  of  eligible  employees  and  their
beneficiaries.

        The purpose of this Plan is to reward  eligible  employees  for long and
loyal service by providing them with retirement benefits.

        Between  now  and  your  retirement,   your  Employer  intends  to  make
contributions  for you and other eligible  employees.  Contributions to the Plan
will be  invested in Company  Stock.  Your  efforts  added to the efforts of all
other employees  contribute to the  profitability and growth of the Employer and
thereby  increase the value of Company Stock and your benefits in the Plan. When
you retire,  you will be entitled to receive the value of the amounts which have
accumulated in your account in the form of Company Stock.

        Your Employer has the right to submit this Plan to the Internal  Revenue
Service for approval.  The Internal  Revenue Service will issue a "determination
letter" to your Employer  approving this Plan as a "qualified"  retirement plan,
if this Plan meets specific legal requirements.

        This Summary Plan  Description  is a brief  description of your Plan and
your rights,  obligations,  and benefits under that Plan. Some of the statements
made in this  Summary  Plan  Description  are  dependent  upon this  Plan  being
"qualified" under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. This Summary Plan
Description is not meant to interpret,  extend, or change the provisions of your
Plan in any way. The  provisions of your Plan may only be determined  accurately
by reading the actual Plan document.

        A copy of your Plan is on file at your Employer's office and may be read
by you, your  beneficiaries,  or your legal  representatives  at any  reasonable
time. If you have any questions  regarding either your Plan or this Summary Plan
Description,  you  should  ask your  Plan's  Administrator.  In the event of any
discrepancy  between this Summary Plan Description and the actual  provisions of
the Plan, the Plan will govern.

2.  Participation Requirements

        Once you have satisfied your Plan's eligibility requirements,  your next
step will be to actually become a member or a participant" in the Plan. You will
become a participant on a specified day of the Plan Year. This day is called the
Effective Date of Participation.

        You will become a participant  on the first day of the calendar  quarter
coinciding  with or next following the date you satisfy your Plan's  eligibility
requirements.

3.      Excluded Employees

         There are certain employees of Heritage  Bankshares,  Inc. who will not
be eligible to participate in your Plan. Those employees are:

(a)      employees who are leased employees.

                                       IV

                           CONTRIBUTIONS TO YOUR PLAN

1.      Employer Contributions to the Plan

        As a  participant,  you may be eligible to share in and benefit from the
contributions made by your Employer. Each year, your Employer's contribution, if
any, will be placed into a trust fund for the benefit of Plan participants.  The
Administrator  of your Plan will then establish and maintain a separate  account
for you and all other participants, into which the contributions will be placed.

        Each year,  your Employer will  determine the amount of net profits,  if
any, to contribute to your Plan. This contribution is discretionary.

        You must complete a Year of Service during the Plan Year and be actively
employed on the last day of the Plan Year to share in this contribution.

        In determining your eligibility to share in contributions  for the year,
there are special rules which apply if your  employment  terminates  due to your
Retirement (Normal or Late)

        In such cases, you will be eligible to share in the  contributions  made
by your Employer in accordance with the following:

        If the  reason  your  employment  terminated  is due to your  Retirement
        (Normal  or  Late) , then  you  will  not be  eligible  to  share in the
        contribution  for  the  year  even  if you  satisfied  the  requirements
        explained above.



                                        4

2.      Your Share of Employer Contributions

        Your  Employer's  contribution  will be  "allocated"  or  divided  among
participants eligible to share in the contribution for the Plan Year. Your share
of the contribution  will depend upon how much  compensation you received during
the year and the compensation received by other eligible participants.

        Your share of your Employer's  discretionary  contribution is determined
        by the following fraction:

                                                     Your Compensation
                Employer' s              X      -------------------------
        Discretionary Contribution              Total Compensation of All 
                                                Participants Eligible to
                                                         Share

For example:

        Suppose the Employer's  discretionary  contribution for the Plan Year is
        $20,000.  Employee A's  compensation  for the Plan Year is $25,000.  The
        total  compensation  of all  participants  eligible to share,  including
        Employee A, is $250,000.
        Employee A's share will be:

                                      $25,000
                           $20,000 X --------- or $2,000
                                     $250,000

        In addition to the Employer's  contributions made to your account,  your
account will be credited  annually  with a share of the  investment  earnings or
losses of the fund.

        You should also be aware that the law imposes certain limits on how much
money may be allocated to your  account for a year.  These limits are  extremely
complex  but  generally  no more  than  the  lesser  of  $30,000  or 25% of your
compensation may be allocated to you (excluding earnings or losses) in any year.
The Administrator will inform you if these limits have affected you.

3.      Compensation

        For the  purposes  of your  Plan,  compensation  has a special  meaning.
Compensation  is defined as your total  compensation  during a Plan Year that is
subject to income tax and is reflected on your W-2 Form, but

                 -- including your salary reduction contributions to any plan or
                 arrangement maintained by your Employer.

        Your compensation will be recognized for benefit purposes from your date
of entry into the Plan.



                                        5


<PAGE>


        The Plan, by law, cannot  recognize  compensation in excess of $160,000.
This amount will be adjusted in future  years for cost of living  increases.  It
will also be applied to certain  highly  compensated  employees and their family
members as if they were a single participant.  If you or a member of your family
may be affected by this rule, ask your  Administrator  for further details.  For
any short Plan Year,  the adjusted  limit will be prorated based upon the number
of full months in the short Plan Year.

4.  Forfeitures

        Forfeitures are created when  participants  terminate  employment before
becoming  entitled to their full benefits under the Plan.  Your account may grow
from the forfeitures of other  participants.  Forfeitures will be "allocated" or
divided among participants eligible to share for a Plan Year.

                                        V

                            BENEFITS UNDER YOUR PLAN

1.      Distribution of Benefits Upon Normal Retirement

        Your  Normal  Retirement  Date is the first day of the month  coinciding
with or next following your Normal Retirement Age.

        You will  attain  your  Normal  Retirement  Age when you reach your 65th
birthday, or your 5th anniversary of joining the Plan, if later.

        At your  Normal  Retirement  Age,  you will be  entitled to 100% of your
account balance.  Payment of your benefits will, at your election, occur as soon
as practicable  following your Normal  Retirement  Date. If you continue working
after your Normal  Retirement  Age, you may defer receipt of your benefits until
your Late Retirement Date or, if earlier, the April 1st following the end of the
year in which you attain age 70 1/2.

2.      Distribution of Benefits Upon Late Retirement

        You may remain  employed  past your Plan's  Normal  Retirement  Date and
retire instead on your Late  Retirement  Date.  Your Late Retirement Date is the
first day of the month  coinciding with or next following the date you choose to
retire after first  having  reached your Normal  Retirement  Date.  On your Late
Retirement  Date,  you will be entitled to 100% of your Account.  Actual benefit
payment will occur as soon as practicable following your Late Retirement Date.

3.      Distribution of Benefits Upon Death

        Your beneficiary  will be entitled to a single lump-sum  distribution of
100% of your account balance upon your death.



                                        6


<PAGE>


        If you are  married at the time of your  death,  your spouse will be the
beneficiary  of the death  benefit,  unless you otherwise  elect in writing on a
form to be  furnished  to you by the  Administrator.  IF YOU WISH TO DESIGNATE A
BENEFICIARY  OTHER THAN YOUR  SPOUSE,  HOWEVER,  YOUR  SPOUSE  MUST  IRREVOCABLY
CONSENT TO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO THE DEATH BENEFIT.  YOUR SPOUSE'S  CONSENT MUST BE
IN WRITING,  BE WITNESSED BY A NOTARY OR A PLAN  REPRESENTATIVE  AND ACKNOWLEDGE
THE SPECIFIC NONSPOUSE BENEFICIARY.

        If, however,

                (a)      your spouse has  validly  waived any right to the death
                         benefit in the manner outlined above,

                (b)      your spouse cannot be located; or

                (c)      you are not married at the time of your death,

then your death benefit will be paid to the  beneficiary of your own choosing in
a single lump sum. You may designate the beneficiary on a form to be supplied to
you by the Administrator. If you change your designation, your spouse must again
consent to the change.

        Regardless  of the method of  distribution  selected,  your entire death
benefit  must  generally be paid to your  beneficiaries  within five years after
your death (the "5-year rule") . However,  if your  designated  beneficiary is a
person  (instead of your estate or most  trusts) , then you or your  beneficiary
may elect to have minimum  distributions begin within one year of your death and
it may be paid over the designated  beneficiary's  life  expectancy (the "1-year
rule") . If your spouse is the  beneficiary,  then under the "1-year  rule," the
start of payments may be delayed until the year in which you would have attained
age 70 1/2. The election to have death  benefits  distributed  under the "1-year
rule"  instead of the "5-year rule" must be made no later than the time at which
minimum  distributions must commence under the "1-year rule" (or, in the case of
a surviving spouse, the "5-year rule, " if earlier)

        Since your spouse has certain  rights in the death  benefit,  you should
immediately report any change in your marital status to the Administrator.

4.      Distribution of Benefits Upon Termination of Employment

        Your Plan is designed to encourage you to stay with your Employer  until
retirement.  Payment of your account  balance under your Plan is available  upon
your death or retirement.

        If your employment terminates for reasons other than those listed above,
you will be entitled to receive  only your "vested  percentage"  of your account



                                        7


<PAGE>

balance and the remainder of your account will be forfeited.  Only contributions
made by your  Employer  are  subject  to  forfeiture.  (See the  Section in this
Article entitled "Vesting in Your Plan.")

        If you so elect, the Administrator will direct the Trustee to distribute
your  vested  benefit to you before the date it would  normally  be  distributed
(upon your  death or  retirement)  . You must give  written  consent  before the
distribution may be made.

5.      Vesting in Your Plan

        Your  "vested  percentage"  in your  account  is  determined  under  the
following  schedule and is based on vesting  Years of Service.  You will always,
however,  be 100% vested upon your Normal  Retirement  Age.  (See the Section in
this Article entitled "Distribution of Benefits Upon Normal Retirement.")

                    Vesting Schedule
                    Years of Service                        Percentage
                    ----------------                        ----------

                       Less than 3
                                                                0 %
                            3                                  20 %
                            4                                  40 %
                            5                                  60 %
                            6                                  80 %
                            7                                 100 %

        Your  vested  benefit  will  normally  be  distributed  to you  or  your
beneficiary upon your death or retirement.

6.  Benefit Payment Method

        At the time you are entitled to receive a  distribution  under the Plan,
the  Administrator  will direct the  Trustee to pay your  benefits to you in one
lump-sum payment.

        Distribution  of your account at retirement  will be in the form of cash
or  Company  Stock  or  both  However,   you  or  your  beneficiary  may  demand
distribution  of your entire account in the form of Company  Stock.  Cash may be
paid  (1) in  lieu  of  partial  shares  of  Company  Stock,  or (2) in  certain
circumstances  where it may not be  possible  for the Plan to  purchase  Company
Stock for distribution.

        If you elect to delay the  receipt of  benefits,  there are other  rules
which generally  require  minimum  payments to begin no later than the April 1st
following  the  year  in  which  you  reach  age 70  1/2.  You  should  see  the
Administrator if you feel you may be affected by this rule.

7.      Treatment of Distributions From Your Plan

        Whenever you receive a distribution  from your Plan, it will normally be
subject to income taxes. You may, however,  reduce,  or defer entirely,  the tax
due on your distribution through use of one of the following methods:

                (a) The rollover of all or a portion of the  distribution  to an
        Individual  Retirement Account (IRA) or another qualified employer plan.
        This will result in no tax being due until you begin  withdrawing  funds
        from the IRA or other  qualified  employer  plan.  The  rollover  of the
        distribution, however, MUST be made within strict time frames (normally,
        within 60 days after you  receive  your  distribution)  . Under  certain
        circumstances  all or a portion of a  distribution  may not  qualify for
        this rollover treatment. In addition, most distributions will be subject
        to mandatory  federal income tax withholding at a rate of 20%. This will
        reduce the amount you actually receive.  For this reason, if you wish to
        rollover  all or a  portion  of your  distribution  amount,  the  direct
        transfer  option  described in  paragraph  (b) below would be the better
        choice.

                (b)  You  may  request  for  most  distributions  that a  direct
        transfer  of all or a  portion  of your  distribution  amount be made to
        either an  Individual  Retirement  Account  (IRA) or  another  qualified
        employer  plan willing to accept the  transfer.  A direct  transfer will
        result in no tax being due  until  you  withdraw  funds  from the IRA or
        other  qualified  employer  plan.  Like  the  rollover,   under  certain
        circumstances  all or a portion of the amount to be distributed  may not
        qualify for this direct transfer, e.g., a distribution of less than $500
        will not be  eligible  for a direct  transfer.  If you elect to actually
        receive the distribution rather than request a direct transfer,  then in
        most cases 20% of the  distribution  amount will be withhe1d for federal
        income tax purposes.

                (c)  The  election  of  favorable  income  tax  treatment  under
        "10-year  forward  averaging,"  "5-year  forward  averaging"  or, if you
        qualify, "capital gains" method of taxation.

         WHENEVER YOU RECEIVE A DISTRIBUTION,  THE ADMINISTRATOR WILL DELIVER TO
YOU A MORE  DETAILED  EXPLANATION  OF THESE  OPTIONS.  HOWEVER,  THE RULES WHICH
DETERMINE WHETHER YOU QUALIFY FOR FAVORABLE TAX TREATMENT ARE VERY COMPLEX.  YOU
SHOULD CONSULT WITH QUALIFIED TAX COUNSEL BEFORE MAKING A CHOICE.

8.      Domestic Relations Order

        As a general rule, your interest in your account, including your "vested
interest,  may not be alienated.  This means that your interest may not be sold,




                                        9


<PAGE>

used as collateral for a loan, given away or otherwise transferred. In addition,
your creditors may not attach, garnish or otherwise interfere with your account.

        There is an exception,  however, to this general rule. The Administrator
may be required by law to recognize  obligations  you incur as a result of court
ordered  child  support  or alimony  payments.  The  Administrator  must honor a
"qualified  domestic relations order." A "qualified domestic relations order" is
defined as a decree or order issued by a court that  obligates  you to pay child
support or alimony,  or otherwise allocates a portion of your assets in the Plan
to your spouse, former spouse, child or other dependent. If a qualified domestic
relations  order is  received  by the  Administrator,  all or a portion  of your
benefits may be used to satisfy the obligation. The Administrator will determine
the validity of any domestic relations order received.

9.      Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation

        Benefits  provided by your Plan are NOT  insured by the Pension  Benefit
Guaranty  Corporation  (PBGC) under Title IV of the Employee  Retirement  Income
Security  Act of 1974  because  the  insurance  provisions  under  ERISA are not
applicable to your Plan.

                                       VI

                       INFORMATION REGARDING COMPANY STOCK

1.      Voting of Company Stock

        The Trustee of the Plan will vote all Company Stock held by it as a part
of the Plan assets,  provided that, if the trust fund acquires securities of the
Employer  amounting  to more than 10  percent  of the total  assets of the trust
fund, you or your  beneficiary  will be entitled to direct the Trustee as to the
manner in which voting  rights on shares of Company Stock which are allocated to
your account are to be exercised (I) with respect to any corporate  matter which
involves the voting of such shares with  respect to the approval or  disapproval
of any corporate merger or  consolidation,  recapitalization,  reclassification,
liquidation,  dissolution,  sale of  substantially  all  assets  of a  trade  or
business,  or such similar  transaction,  and (ii) with respect to all corporate
matters  if,  at  the  time  of  the  vote  thereon,  the  Company  Smock  is  a
"registration-type"  class of  securities.  If you do not timely  exercise  your
right to vote Company Stock, the Trustee will vote such Company Stock.

2.      Right of First Refusal

        Company Stock  distributed by the Plan to you or your beneficiary may be
subject to a right of first refusal in favor of the Employer. In other words the
Employer  must be given an  opportunity  to  purchase at the same price and same
terms as you or your beneficiary may offer to sell to a third party.

                                  SERVICE RULES

1.      Year of Service

        The term "Year of Service" is used in this Summary Plan  Description and
in your Plan.

        You will have  completed a Year of Service  for vesting  purposes if you
are credited with 1000 Hours of Service during a Plan Year, even if you were not
employed on the first or last day of the Plan Year.

        You will have  completed  a Year of Service  for  purposes of sharing in
Employer  contributions  if you are credited with 1000 Hours of Service during a
Plan Year.

        For purposes of determining whether you have completed a Year of Service
where the computation period is based upon a short Plan Year, your Administrator
will notify you of the number of the Hours of Service  that are required and the
method or calculating a Year of Service.

2.      Hour of Service

        You will be credited with an Hour of Service for:

                (a)  each  hour  for  which  you  are  directly  or   indirectly
        compensated  by your Employer for the  performance  of duties during the
        Plan Year;

                (b)  each  hour  for  which  you  are  directly  or   indirectly
        compensated  by your  Employer  for reasons  other than  performance  of
        duties  (such as  vacation,  holidays,  sickness,  disability,  lay-off,
        military duty, jury duty or leave of absence during the Plan Year) ; and

                (c)  each  hour  for  back  pay  awarded  or  agreed  to by your
Employer.

         You will not be credited  for the same Hours of Service  both under (a)
or (b) , as the case may be, and under (c)

3.      1-Year Break in Service

        A 1-Year Break in Service is a computation  period during which you have
not completed more than 500 Hours of Service with your Employer.

        A 1-Year Break in Service does NOT occur,  however,  in the  computation
period in which you enter or leave the Plan for reasons of:

                (a)      an authorized leave of absence;

                                       11


<PAGE>


                  (b) certain maternity or paternity absences.

        The  Administrator  will be required to credit you with Hours of Service
for a maternity or  paternity  absence.  These are absences  taken on account of
pregnancy,  birth,  or adoption of your child. No more than 501 Hours of Service
shall be credited for this purpose and these Hours of Service  shall be credited
solely to avoid your incurring a 1-Year Break in Service.  The Administrator may
require you to furnish  proof that your  absence  qualifies  as a  maternity  or
paternity absence.

4.      Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act

        If you are a veteran and are  reemployed  under the  Uniformed  Services
Employment and Reemployment  Rights Act of 1994, your qualified military service
may be considered service with the Employer. If you may be affected by this law,
ask your Administrator for further details.

                                      VIII

                          YOUR PLAN'S "TOP HEAVY RULES"

1.      Explanation of "Top Heavy Rules"

        A Plan that  primarily  benefits "key  employees" is called a "top heavy
plan." Key employees are certain owners or officers of your Employer.  A Plan is
a "top heavy plan" when more than 60% of the contributions or benefits have been
allocated to key employees.

         Each year, the  Administrator  is responsible for  determining  whether
your Plan is a "top heavy plan."

        If your Plan  becomes top heavy in any Plan Year,  then  non-key and key
employees will be entitled to certain "top heavy minimum  benefits,  " and other
special rules will apply. Among these top heavy rules are the following:

                (a) Your Employer may be required to make a contribution to your
        account  in  order to  provide  you with at  least  "top  heavy  minimum
        benefits."

                (b) Instead of the vesting schedule  outlined in the Article and
        Section in this Summary entitled  "BENEFITS UNDER YOUR PLAN:  Vesting in
        Your Plan,"  your  nonforfeitable  right to  benefits  or  contributions
        derived from Employer  contributions will be determined according to the
        following schedule:

                                     4                                 60 %

                                     6                                100 %

                (c) If you are a participant  in more than one Plan, you may not
        be entitled to "top heavy minimum benefits" under both Plans.

                                       IX

                    CLAIMS BY PARTICIPANTS AND BENEFICIARIES

        Benefits will be paid to participants  and their  beneficiaries  without
the necessity of formal claims.  You or your  beneficiaries,  however may make a
request for any Plan  benefits to which you may be  entitled.  Any such  request
must be made in writing,  and it should be made to the  Administrator.  (See the
Article in this Summary entitled "GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR PLAN.")

        Your  request for Plan  benefits  shall be  considered  a claim for Plan
benefits,  and it will be  subject to a full and fair  review.  If your claim is
wholly or partially denied,  the  Administrator  will furnish you with a written
notice of this  denial.  This  written  notice  must be provided to you within a
reasonable period of time (generally 90 days) after the receipt of your claim by
the Administrator. The written notice must contain the following information:

                (a)      the specific reason or reasons for the denial;

                (b)      specific  reference to those Plan  provisions  on which
                         the denial is based;

                (c) a  description  of any  additional  information  or material
        necessary to correct your claim and an  explanation of why such material
        or information is necessary; and

                (d)  appropriate  information as to the steps to be taken if you
        or your beneficiary wishes to submit your claim for review.

        If notice of the denial of a claim is not furnished to you in accordance
with the above  within a  reasonable  period of time,  your claim will be deemed
denied.  You will then be permitted to proceed to the review stage  described in
the following paragraphs.




                                       13


<PAGE>


        If your  claim has been  denied,  and you wish to submit  your claim for
review, you must follow the Claims Review Procedure.

1.      The Claims Review Procedure

                (a) Upon the  denial of your  claim for  benefits,  you may file
        your claim for review, in writing, with the Administrator.

                (b) YOU MUST  FILE THE CLAIM  FOR  REVIEW NO LATER  THAN 60 DAYS
        AFTER YOU HAVE RECEIVED WRITTEN NOTIFICATION OF THE DENIAL OF YOUR CLAIM
        FOR BENEFITS,  OR IF NO WRITTEN  DENIAL OF YOUR CLAIM WAS  PROVIDED,  NO
        LATER THAN 60 DAYS AFTER THE DEEMED DENIAL OF YOUR CLAIM.

                (c) You may  review  all  pertinent  documents  relating  to the
        denial of your claim and submit any issues and comments,  in writing, to
        the Administrator.

                (d) Your claim for review must be given a full and fair  review.
        If your claim is denied, the Administrator must provide you with written
        notice of this denial within 60 days after the  Administrator's  receipt
        of your  written  claim for review.  There may be times when this 60 day
        period may be extended.  This extension may only be made, however, where
        there are special circumstances which are communicated to you in writing
        within the 60 day period. If there is an extension,  a decision shall be
        made as soon as possible,  but not later than 120 days after  receipt by
        the Administrator of your claim for review.

                (e) The  Administrator's  decision on your claim for review will
        be communicated to you in writing and will include  specific  references
        to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the decision was based.

                (f) If the  Administrator's  decision on review is not furnished
        to you within the time limitations  described above,  your claim will be
        deemed denied on review.

                (g) If benefits  are  provided or  administered  by an insurance
        company,  insurance  service,  or other  similar  organization  which is
        subject to regulation  under the insurance  laws,  the claims  procedure
        relating to these benefits may provide for review.  If so, that company,
        service,  or  organization  will  be the  entity  to  which  claims  are
        addressed.  If you have any  questions  regarding  the proper  person or
        entity to address claims, you should ask the Administrator.

                            STATEMENT OF ERISA RIGHTS

1.      Explanation of Your ERISA Rights

        As a  participant  in this Plan you are  entitled to certain  rights and
protections  under the Employee  Retirement  Income  Security Act of 1974,  also
called ERISA. ERISA provides that all Plan participants are entitled to:

                (a)      examine, without charge, all Plan documents, including:

                 (1)     insurance contracts;

                 (2)     collective bargaining agreements; and

                 (3)  copies  of all  documents  filed by the Plan with the U.S.
                 Department of Labor,  such as detailed  annual reports and Plan
                 descriptions.

        This  examination  may take place at the  Administrator's  office and at
other specified employment  locations of the Employer.  (See the Article in this
Summary entitled "GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR PLAN");

                (b)  obtain  copies  of  all  Plan   documents  and  other  Plan
        information  upon  written  request  to  the  Plan  Administrator.   The
        Administrator may make a reasonable charge for the copies;

                (c) receive a summary of the Plan's annual financial report. The
        Administrator is required by law to furnish each participant with a copy
        of this summary annual report;

                  (d) obtain a statement telling you whether you have a right to
        receive a retirement  benefit at Normal  Retirement Age and, if so, what
        your  benefits  would be at Normal  Retirement  Age if you stop  working
        under the Plan now. If you do not have a right to a retirement  benefit,
        the  statement  will  tell you how many  years you have to work to get a
        right to a  retirement  benefit.  THIS  STATEMENT  MUST BE  REQUESTED IN
        WRITING AND IS NOT REQUIRED TO BE GIVEN MORE THAN ONCE A YEAR.  The Plan
        must provide the statement free of charge.

        In addition  to creating  rights for Plan  participants,  ERISA  imposes
duties upon the people who are  responsible  for the operation of the Plan.  The
people who operate your Plan,  called  "fiduciaries" of the Plan, have a duty to
do so  prudently  and in the  interest  of you and other Plan  participants  and
beneficiaries. No one, including your employer or any other person, may fire you
or otherwise discriminate against you in any way to prevent you from obtaining a
pension benefit or exercising your rights under ERISA.


                                       15


<PAGE>


        If your  claim for a  retirement  benefit is denied in whole or in part,
you must receive a written  explanation  of the reason for the denial.  You have
the right to have the  Administrator  review and reconsider your claim. (See the
Article in this Summary entitled "CLAIMS BY PARTICIPANTS AND BENEFICIARIES.")

        Under ERISA,  there are steps you can take to enforce the above  rights.
For  instance,  if you request  materials  from the Plan and do not receive them
within 30 days, you may file suit in a federal court.  In such a case, the court
may require the Administrator to provide the materials and pay you up to $100.00
a day until you  receive  the  materials,  unless  the  materials  were not sent
because of reasons beyond the control of the Administrator.

        If you have a claim for benefits which is denied or ignored, In whole or
in part, you may file suit in a state or federal court.

        If the  Plan's  fiduciaries  misuse  the  Plan's  money,  or if you  are
discriminated  against for asserting your rights,  you may seek  assistance from
the U.S. Department of Labor, or you may file suit in a federal court. The court
will decide who should pay court costs and legal  fees.  If you are  successful,
the court may order the person you have sued to pay these costs and fees. If you
lose,  the court may order you to pay these costs and fees if, for  example,  it
finds your claim is frivolous.

        If you have any  questions  about this  statement,  or about your rights
under  ERISA,  you  should  contact  the  nearest  Regional  Office  of the U.S.
Department of Labor's Pension and Welfare Benefits Administration.

                                       XI

                     AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF YOUR PLAN

1.      Amendment

        Your Employer has the right to amend your Plan at any time. In no event,
however, will any amendment:

                  (a) authorize or permit any part of the Plan assets to be used
        for purposes other than the exclusive  benefit of  participants or their
        beneficiaries; or

                  (b)  cause  any  reduction  in the  amount  credited  to  your
        account.

2.      Termination

        Your  Employer  has the right to  terminate  the Plan at any time.  Upon
termination,  all amounts  credited to your accounts will become 100% vested.  A
complete  discontinuance  of  contributions  by your Employer will  constitute a
termination.
