PART III -- NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K,
20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, N-SAR, or the transition report or portion
thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
The report on Form 10-K could not be filed on time as a
result of the need to complete the integration with the
Registrant's financial dat of certain financial information
relating to Merchants of Shenandoah Ban-Corp necessary to
complete the statistical disclosure by bank holding companies
required by industry guide 3. Merchants was a bank holding
company that did not have a class of securities registered under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which the Registrant
acquired during 1999 in a transaction accounted for as a pooling
of interests. The differences in accounting systems coupled
with the resignation on or about March 15, 2000 of the
Registrant's controller caused a temporary delay in completing
the required disclosure. The Form 10-K will be filed within the
fifteen-day period permitted by SEC Rule 12b-25.
