PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
Overview
Century Bancshares, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Company"), and a
registered bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as
amended ("BHCA"), was incorporated and organized in 1985. The Company began
active operations in 1986 with the acquisition of its subsidiary, Century
National Bank ("Bank"), a full service bank which opened for business in 1982.
The Bank provides a broad line of financial products and services to small and
medium sized businesses and consumers, through its main office located at 1875
Eye Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. and its branch office located at 1275
Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. Lending services are concentrated in professional,
service, and commercial business sectors located in the metropolitan
Washington, D.C. area. Effective January 1, 1996, the Company established a
loan production office in Tysons Corner, Virginia, which is in the process of
being converted to a full service branch, effective April 1, 1997, to be
located at 8251 Greensboro Drive, McLean, Virginia. On March 13, 1997, the OCC
approved the Bank's application to establish a full service branch in Bethesda,
Maryland. The Company's principal executive offices are located at 1275
Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20004, and its phone number at that
address is (202) 496-4100.
The Company derives substantially all of its revenues and
income from the operation of the Bank, which provides a full range of
commercial and consumer banking services to small and middle market businesses
and individuals in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. As of December 31,
1996, the Company had total assets of $107 million, total loans of $71 million,
total deposits of $91 million, and total stockholders' equity of $6.8 million.
At December 31, 1996, the Company had approximately 394 holders of record of
the Company's common stock, par value $1.00 per share ("Common Stock").
Company Operations
General. The Company holds deposits for individuals, businesses, and
other organizations, and provides certain services related thereto for the
convenience of its depositors. In most cases, the Company pays interest on
funds which it holds on deposit for customers, and it also charges fees for
certain services that it provides. The interest expense paid on deposits, and
the noninterest income earned from service charges, are primarily related to
the volume of deposits handled by the Company. The Company's primary source of
revenue is the interest income and fees which its earns by lending and
investing the funds which are held on deposit. Because loans generally earn
higher rates of interest than investments, the Company seeks to employ as much
of its deposit funds as possible in the form of loans to individuals,
businesses and other organizations. In the interest of liquidity, however, a
portion of the Company's deposits are maintained in cash, government
securities, deposits with other financial institutions, and overnight loans of
excess reserves (known as "federal funds sold") to large correspondent banks.
The revenue which the Company earns (prior to deducting its overhead expenses)
is essentially a function of the amount of the Company's loans and
<PAGE> 4
deposits, as well as the profit margin and fee income which can be generated
thereon.
The operating income and net income of the Bank, and, consequently, of
the Company will depend to a great extent on "rate differentials," the
difference between the income the Bank receives from its loans, investments and
other assets and the interest it pays on deposits and other liabilities. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations." These rates are highly sensitive to many factors which are beyond
the control of the Company or the Bank, including general economic conditions
such as inflation, recession and unemployment, the supply and demand for
investable funds, interest rates and international economic conditions, as well
as economic conditions affecting the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.
Consequently, the Company's success is dependent to a significant extent upon
general economic conditions in the metropolitan Washington, D.C. area, which is
dependent, among other things, on its ability to attract new business to the
area, spending on government agencies and tourism. An economic downturn in the
geographic markets served by the Bank could adversely affect the Bank's ability
to attract and retain deposits and to collect loans, the value of any
collateral securing such loans and the financial condition and results of
operations of the Company.
Measures of Performance. The principal measures of the performance of
banking institutions are return on average equity and return on average assets.
Return on average equity ("ROE") is determined by dividing annual net income by
average stockholders' equity and indicates the effectiveness of an institution
in generating net income from the capital invested by its stockholders. For
the year ended December 31, 1996, the Company's ROE was 4.2%. Return on
average assets ("ROA") measures net income in relation to total average assets
and generally indicates an institution's ability to use its assets profitably.
For the year ended December 31, 1996, the Company's ROA was 0.27%.
Growth of Operations. The Company's current strategic plan is directed
toward the enhancement of its franchise value and operating profitability
through a significant increase in its asset size, the development of new
commercial accounts and loans, and expansion into the nearby Maryland and
Virginia markets. The Company plans to acquire or establish banking offices in
high-density commercial districts, and may in some cases open a temporary loan
production office ("LPO") prior to establishing a full service branch. The
Bank acquired its first branch office in downtown Washington in 1994 and in
1996 established an LPO in Tysons Corner, Virginia, which will be replaced by a
full service branch in April of 1997. On March 13, 1997, the OCC approved the
Bank's application to establish a full service branch in Bethesda, Maryland.
The Company has not sought out opportunities to be acquired by larger
financial institutions, primarily because of its view that the long-term value
of an independent banking franchise in the nation's capital will increase,
rather than diminish, as consolidation trends continue. The Company does
believe, however, that its franchise value and operating profitability would be
enhanced by a significant increase in its asset size. For this reason, the
Company in the past has explored, and expects to continue to explore in the
future, merger and acquisition opportunities which would accelerate the
Company's progress toward the achievement of its strategic plan, including
transactions in which the Company would be acquired. There can be no assurance
that any such
-2-
<PAGE> 5
merger and acquisition opportunities will be realized in the future.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in
implementing any of the future plans described above or that, even if
implemented, such actions will produce the desired financial results. The
foregoing strategy should be taken into account however when considering the
more specific discussion of the Company's financial performance set forth
herein.
Competition
The Company is subject to vigorous competition in all aspects and
areas of its business from banks and other financial institutions, including
savings and loan associations, savings banks, finance companies, credit unions
and other providers of financial services, such as money market mutual funds,
brokerage firms, consumer finance companies and insurance companies. The
Company also competes with non-financial institutions that maintain their own
credit programs and governmental agencies that make available low cost or
guaranteed loans to certain borrowers. The principal methods of competition
include interest rates paid on deposits and charged on loans and the
availability of other banking products and services. The Company competes in
its market area with a number of much larger financial institutions that have
substantially greater resources, including larger lending limits, larger branch
systems and a wider array of commercial banking services. The Company has been
able to compete effectively with other financial institutions by emphasizing
customer services, establishing long-term customer relationships and building
customer loyalty, and by providing products and services designed to address
the specific needs of its customers.
Regulatory Matters
In addition to the generally applicable state and federal laws
governing business and employers, the Company and Bank are further regulated by
special federal and state laws and regulations applicable only to financial
institutions and their parent companies. Virtually all aspects of the
operations of the Company and the Bank are subject to specific requirements or
restrictions and general regulatory oversight, from laws regulating consumer
finance transactions, such as the Truth in Lending Act, the Home Mortgage
Disclosure Act and the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, to laws regulating
collections and confidentiality, such as the Fair Debt Collections Practices
Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Right to Financial Privacy Act.
With few exceptions, state and federal banking laws have as their principal
objective either the maintenance of the safety and soundness of financial
institutions and the federal deposit insurance system or the protection of
consumers or classes of consumers, rather than the specific protection of
stockholders of the Company. The following discussion sets forth the material
statutory and regulatory provisions governing the Company and the Bank. To the
extent such discussion describes statutory or regulatory provisions, it is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the particular statute or regulation.
Regulation of the Company. The Company is a bank holding company
within the meaning of the BHCA, and therefore is subject to regulation,
supervision and examination by the Federal Reserve Board. As such, the Company
is required to file reports with and to furnish such other information as the
Federal Reserve Board may require pursuant to the BHCA. The Federal Reserve
-3-
<PAGE> 6
Board has the authority to issue orders to bank holding companies to cease and
desist from unsound banking practices and violations of conditions imposed by,
or violations of agreements with, the Federal Reserve Board. The Federal
Reserve Board is also empowered to assess civil money penalties against
companies or individuals who violate the BHCA or orders or regulations
thereunder, to order termination of non-banking activities of non-banking
subsidiaries of bank holding companies, and to order termination of ownership
and control of a non-banking subsidiary by a bank holding company. Certain
violations may also result in criminal penalties. The Office of the
Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC") is authorized to exercise comparable
authority with respect to the Bank.
The Federal Reserve Board takes the position that a bank holding
company is required to serve as a source of financial and managerial strength
to its subsidiary banks and may not conduct its operations in an unsafe or
unsound manner. In addition, it is the Federal Reserve Board's position that,
in serving as a source of strength to its subsidiary banks, a bank holding
company should stand ready to use available resources to provide adequate
capital funds to its subsidiary banks during periods of financial stress or
adversity and should maintain the financial flexibility and capital-raising
capacity to obtain additional resources for assisting its subsidiary banks. A
bank holding company's failure to meet its obligations to serve as a source of
strength to its subsidiary banks will generally be considered by the Federal
Reserve Board to be an unsafe and unsound banking practice or a violation of
the Federal Reserve Board regulations or both. This doctrine has become known
as the "source of strength" doctrine. In addition, statutory changes in the
Federal Deposit Insurance Act (the "FDIA") made by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA") now require the
holding company parent of an undercapitalized bank to guarantee, up to certain
limits, the bank's compliance with a capital restoration plan approved by the
bank's primary federal supervisory agency.
The BHCA and the Change in Bank Control Act, together with regulations
promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board, require that, depending on the
particular circumstances, either Federal Reserve Board approval must be
obtained or notice must be furnished to the Federal Reserve Board and not
disapproved prior to any person or company acquiring "control" of a bank
holding company, such as the Company, subject to certain exemptions for certain
transactions. Control is conclusively presumed to exist if an individual or
company acquires 25% or more of any class of voting securities of the bank
holding company. Control is rebuttably presumed to exist if a person acquires
10% or more but less than 25% of any class of voting securities and either the
company has securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or no other person will own a greater
percentage of that class of voting securities immediately after the
transaction. The regulations provide a procedure for challenge of the
rebuttable control presumption.
As a bank holding company, the Company is required to obtain prior
approval to merge or consolidate with any other bank holding company, acquire
all or substantially all of the assets of any bank or acquire ownership or
control of shares of a bank or bank holding company if, after the acquisition,
the Company would directly or indirectly own or control 5% or more of the
voting shares of such bank or bank holding company.
-4-
<PAGE> 7
The Company is also prohibited from acquiring a direct or indirect
interest in or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any company that
is not a bank or bank holding company and from engaging directly or indirectly
in activities other than those of banking, managing or controlling banks or
furnishing services to its subsidiary banks, except that it may engage in and
may own shares of companies engaged in certain activities found by the Federal
Reserve Board to be so closely related to banking or managing and controlling
banks as to be a proper incident thereto. These activities include, among
others, operating a mortgage, finance, credit card, or factoring company;
performing certain data processing operations; providing investment and
financial advice; acting as an insurance agent for certain types of
credit-related insurance; leasing personal property on a full-payout,
non-operating basis; providing certain stock brokerage and investment advisory
services; derivatives trading and investment activities; and management
consulting activities. In approving acquisitions or the addition of
activities, the Federal Reserve Board considers whether the acquisition or the
additional activities can reasonably be expected to produce benefits to the
public, such as greater convenience, increased competition, or gains in
efficiency, that outweigh such possible adverse effects as undue concentration
of resources, decreased or unfair competition, conflicts of interest or unsound
banking practices. In considering any application for approval or an
acquisition or merger, the Federal Reserve Board is also required to consider
the financial and managerial resources of the companies and the banks
concerned, as well as the applicant's record of compliance with the Community
Reinvestment Act (the "CRA").
The BHCA generally imposes certain limitations on transactions by and
between banks and non-bank companies in the same holding company structure,
including limitations on extensions of credit (including guarantees of loans)
by the Bank to affiliates, investments in the stock or other securities of the
Company by the Bank, and the nature and amount of Company securities that the
Bank may accept from any affiliate to secure loans extended to the affiliate.
The Company, as an affiliate of the Bank, is also subject to these
restrictions. Under the BHCA and the Federal Reserve Board's regulations, a
bank holding company and its subsidiaries are prohibited from engaging in
certain tie-in arrangements in connection with any extension of credit, lease
or sale of property or furnishing of services.
Regulation of the Bank. The Bank is a national banking association
and is therefore subject to regulation, supervision, and examination by the
OCC. The Bank is also a member of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). Requirements and restrictions under
the laws of the United States include the requirement that reserves be
maintained against deposits, restrictions on the nature and the amount of loans
which can be made, restrictions on the business activities in which a bank may
engage, restrictions on the payment of dividends to stockholders, and minimum
capital requirements. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations." The OCC has enforcement authority over
the Bank that is similar to that of the Federal Reserve Board with respect to
the Company. In addition, upon making certain determinations with respect to
the condition of any insured national bank, such as the Bank, the FDIC may
initiate the termination of a bank's federal deposit insurance.
There are certain statutory limitations on the payment of dividends by
national banks. Without approval of the OCC, dividends may not be paid in
excess of a bank's total net profits for
-5-
<PAGE> 8
that year, plus its retained profits for the preceding two years, less any
required transfers to capital surplus. However, a national bank may not pay
dividends in excess of total retained profits, including current year's income.
In some cases, the OCC may find a dividend payment that meets these statutory
requirements to be an unsafe or unsound practice.
Banks are affected by the credit policies of other monetary
authorities, including the Federal Reserve Board, which affect the national
supply of bank credit. Such policies influence overall growth of bank loans,
investments, and deposits and may also affect interest rates charged on loans
and paid on deposits. The monetary policies of the Federal Reserve Board have
had a significant effect on the operating results of commercial banks in the
past and are expected to continue to do so in the future.
FDICIA requires the OCC to take "prompt corrective action" with
respect to any national bank which does not meet specified minimum capital
requirements. The applicable regulations establish five capital levels,
ranging from "well capitalized" to "critically undercapitalized," which require
or permit the OCC to take supervisory action. Under these regulations, a
national bank is considered well capitalized if it has a total risk-based
capital ratio of 10.0% or greater, a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 6.0% or
greater, and a leverage ratio of 5.0% or greater, and it is not subject to an
order, written agreement, capital directive, or prompt corrective action
directive to meet and maintain a specific capital level for any capital
measure. A national bank is considered adequately capitalized if it has a
total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0% or greater, a Tier I risk-based capital
ratio and leverage capital ratio of 4.0% or greater (or a leverage ratio of
3.0% or greater if the institution is rated composite 1 in its most recent
report of examination, subject to appropriate federal banking agency
guidelines), and the institution does not meet the definition of an
undercapitalized institution. A national bank is considered undercapitalized
if it has a total risk-based capital ratio that is less than 8.0%, a Tier I
risk-based capital ratio that is less than 4.0%, or a leverage ratio that is
less than 4.0%. A significantly undercapitalized institution is one which has
a total risk-based capital ratio that is less than 6.0%, a Tier I risk-based
capital ratio that is less than 3.0%, or a leverage ratio that is less than
3.0%. A critically undercapitalized institution is one which has a ratio of
tangible equity to total assets that is equal to or less than 2.0%. As of
December 31, 1996, the Bank was classified as "well-capitalized."
The OCC is authorized by the legislation to take various enforcement
actions against any undercapitalized national bank and any national bank that
fails to submit an acceptable capital restoration plan or fails to implement a
plan accepted by the OCC. These powers include, among other things, requiring
the institution to be recapitalized, prohibiting asset growth, restricting
interest rates paid, requiring prior approval of capital distributions by any
bank holding company which controls the institution, requiring divestiture by
the institution of its subsidiaries or by the holding company of the
institution itself, requiring new election of directors, and requiring the
dismissal of directors and officers.
With certain exceptions, national banks will be prohibited from making
capital distributions or paying management fees if the payment of such
distributions or fees will cause them to become
-6-
<PAGE> 9
undercapitalized. Furthermore, undercapitalized national banks will be
required to file capital restoration plans with the OCC. Undercapitalized
national banks also will be subject to restrictions on growth, acquisitions,
branching and engaging in new lines of business unless they have an approved
capital plan that permits otherwise. The OCC also may, among other things,
require an undercapitalized national bank to issue shares or obligations, which
could be voting stock, to recapitalize the institution or, under certain
circumstances, to divest itself of any subsidiary.
Significantly and critically undercapitalized national banks may be
subject to more extensive control and supervision. The OCC may prohibit any
such institutions from, among other things, entering into any material
transaction not in the ordinary course of business, amending their charter or
bylaws, or engaging in certain transactions with affiliates. In addition,
critically undercapitalized institutions generally will be prohibited from
making payments of principal or interest on outstanding subordinated debt.
Within 90 days of a national bank becoming critically undercapitalized, the OCC
must appoint a receiver or conservator unless certain findings are made with
respect to the prospect for the institution's continued viability.
Current Regulatory Issues. The Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and
Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 ("Interstate Banking Act") authorizes the
Federal Reserve Board to permit adequately capitalized and adequately managed
bank holding companies to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of an
out-of-state bank after September 29, 1995, subject to deposit concentration
limits, state law limits on the time period a target bank must be in existence
and consideration of the acquiring bank's compliance with Federal and state
community reinvestment laws. Thus, nationwide interstate banking became
effective on September 29, 1995. The Interstate Banking Act also authorizes
banking subsidiaries of bank holding companies to act as agent for depository
institution affiliates in other states when receiving deposits, renewing time
deposits, closing loans, servicing loans, or receiving payments on loans and
other obligations; and the Interstate Banking Act expressly states that banks
acting in an agency capacity are not branches. With respect to interstate
branching by multi-state bank holding companies, states have two options -- for
the period from September 29, 1994 through June 1, 1997, states may enact
legislation that either prohibits interstate merger transactions involving
out-of-state banks ("opt-out") or permits interstate merger transactions prior
to June 1, 1997 ("opt-in"), so long as the law applies equally to all
out-of-state banks. The Interstate Banking Act also contained provisions
addressing branch retention in interstate merger transactions and de novo
branching by out-of-state banks. Maryland, Virginia, and the District of
Columbia have each adopted "opt-in" provisions permitting de novo branching
prior to June 1, 1997.
In addition, there are several pieces of legislation relevant to the
banking industry that were recently enacted into law. On August 20, 1996,
President Clinton signed the Small Business Job Protection Act (the "Jobs
Act"). The Jobs Act contained several provisions that affect the banking
industry. First, the most significant part of the Jobs Act removed the
prohibition against banks, savings and loans and bank holding companies
electing to be treated as S corporations. This change is effective for tax
years beginning after December 31, 1996. Second, the Jobs Act gave qualifying
savings associations a tax break when they change their method of accounting
for bad debt reserves. This change will save the thrift industry approximately
$3 billion in tax liability and will facilitate the conversion of savings
associations into banks. Finally, the Jobs Act increased the IRA deduction
-7-
<PAGE> 10
from $250 to $2,000 per year for a spouse that does not work outside the home,
subject to income eligibility limits.
On September 30, 1996, President Clinton signed the Economic Growth
and Regulatory Paperwork Reduction Act of 1996 (the "Growth Act"), which
contained a comprehensive approach to recapitalize the FDIC's Savings
Association Insurance Fund and to assure payment of the Financing Corporation
("FICO") obligations. Most of the Bank's deposits are insured by the FDIC's
Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF"). Under the Growth Act, banks insured under the BIF
are required to pay a portion of the interest due on bonds that were issued by
FICO to help shore up the ailing Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation
in 1987. The amount of FICO debt service to be paid by all BIF-insured
institutions is approximately $320,343,000 per year from 1997 through the year
1999 when the obligation of BIF-insured institutions increases to approximately
$598,500,000 per year through the year 2019. The Bank's FICO assessment for
1996, which was paid on January 2, 1997, was $2,361. The Growth Act also
contained provisions protecting banks from liability for environmental clean-up
costs; prohibiting credit unions sponsored by Farm Credit System banks; easing
application requirements for most bank holding companies when they acquire a
thrift or a permissible nonbank operation; easing Fair Credit Reporting Act
restrictions between bank holding company affiliates; and reducing regulatory
burden under the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, the Truth-in-Savings
Act, the Truth-in-Lending Act, and the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act.
In 1994, the Bank acquired the deposits of a savings and loan branch.
These so-called "Oakar deposits" are insured under the FDIC's Savings
Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"). Pursuant to a rule promulgated by the
FDIC on October 8, 1996, all institutions holding SAIF insured deposits were
charged a one-time special assessment of 65.7 cents per $100 of SAIF insured
deposits on November 27, 1996. The FDIC has also promulgated a final rule
regarding the amount of premiums payable as of January 1, 1997 by institutions
holding SAIF-insured deposits. The Company's January 1, 1997 assessment, which
was paid on January 2, 1997, was $2,361. Under the proposed rule, which is
subject to final comments and could change, institutions will be assessed with
respect to SAIF-insured deposits anywhere from zero for most safe and sound
institutions to 27 cents per $100 of deposits for the least safe and sound
institutions. See Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for
additional disclosure.
Various bills which would affect the operations of commercial banks
and other financial institutions are introduced periodically in Congress.
However, the likelihood of passage of such legislation, its final form, manner
of implementation or impact on the Company and the Bank is unknown.
The policies of regulatory authorities, including the monetary policy
of the Federal Reserve Board, have a significant effect on the operating
results of bank holding companies and their subsidiaries. Among the means
available to the Federal Reserve Board to affect the money supply are open
market operations in U.S. Government securities, changes in the discount rate
on member bank borrowings, and changes in reserve requirements against member
bank deposits. These means are used in varying combinations to influence
overall growth and distribution of bank loans, investment and deposits, and
their use may affect interest rates charged on loans or paid for deposits.

Federal Reserve Board monetary policies have materially affected the
operating results of commercial banks in the past and are expected to continue
to do so in the future. The nature of future monetary policies and the effect
of such policies on the business and income of the Company and the Bank cannot
be predicted.
Employees
At December 31, 1996, the Company employed 36 employees, including 28
employees at the Eye Street location, 7 employees at the Pennsylvania Avenue
location and 1 employee at the Tysons Corner, Virginia location.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
The Company's principal executive offices are located at 1275
Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20004, in leased premises which
also serve as a branch location of the Bank. The premises at 1275 Pennsylvania
Avenue consist of 2,750 sq. ft. which are under lease through September 30,
2004, with one additional five-year renewal option. The base rent is $25.00
per sq. ft. per year, increasing to $28.00 per sq. ft. effective October 1,
1999. In addition to the base rent, the Company reimburses the landlord for
taxes and operating expenses applicable to the leased premises, and the lease
provides for the payment of additional rent if the Bank's deposits in the
Pennsylvania Avenue branch exceed certain benchmarks, which have not yet been
achieved.
Century National Bank leases its main banking location at 1875 Eye
Street, N.W., Washington D.C. 20006. The lease includes lobby space (3,895 sq.
ft), metro-level basement space (5,286 sq.ft.) and space for an automated
teller machine in the International Square food court (65 sq. ft.). The lease
extends through April 30, 2002, with two additional five-year renewal options.
The base rent for the lobby space is $38.50 per sq. ft. per year, increasing to
$43.50 per sq. ft. effective May 1, 1997. The base rent for the metro level is
$20.00 per sq. ft. per year, increasing 2.5% per year beginning June 1, 1997.
The base rent for the food court ATM location is $412.00 per month, increasing
3% per year beginning November 1, 1997. In addition to the base rent, the
Company reimburses the landlord for increases in taxes and operating expenses
applicable to the leased premises, above the actual expenses incurred in the
base year 1992.
Century National Bank leases temporary space for the Tysons Corner LPO
on a month-to-month basis through March 31, 1997. Effective February 1, 1997,
the Bank executed a sublease for a branch location at 8251 Greensboro Drive,
McLean, Virginia. The branch premises consist of 1,801 sq. ft. which are under
lease through March 31, 1999. The base rent is $23.00 per sq. ft. per year,
increasing 3% per year beginning February 1, 1998. In addition to the base
rent, the Company reimburses the landlord for increases in taxes and operating
expenses applicable to the leased premises, above the actual expenses incurred
in the base year 1996. The Company is currently negotiating with the owner of
the building to extend the lease for an additional seven (7) years on terms and
conditions similar to the sublease.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
The nature of the business of the Company causes it (and the Bank) to
be involved in routine legal proceedings from time to time. Management of the
Company believes that there are no pending or threatened legal proceedings that
upon resolution would have a material adverse impact on the Company.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
There were no matters submitted to a vote of security holders of the
Company during the quarter ended December 31, 1996.
PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.
There is no active trading market in the Company's Common Stock and no
assurance may be given that one will develop. Although the Company's shares of
Common Stock are quoted in the "pink sheets" of the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. (which set forth the most recent "bid" and "ask"
prices), only limited and sporadic quotations are available for shares of the
Common Stock in the Washington D.C. area. Based on information available to
the Company from a limited number of sellers and purchasers of Common Stock,
transactions in shares of Common Stock during the past twelve months took place
at prices ranging from a low of $5.50 to a high of $8.00. The most recent
transactions in the Common Stock known to the Company involved 130 shares of
Common Stock on February 27, 1997 at $7.50 per share.
As of March 21, 1997, there were 394 holders of record of Common
Stock.
The Company has not paid cash dividends on its shares of Common Stock
to date and has no present intention to do so in the foreseeable future. The
declaration and payment of future cash dividends will depend on, among other
things, the Company's earnings, the general economic and regulatory climate,
the Company's liquidity and capital requirements, and other factors deemed
relevant by the Company's Board of Directors. The Company's ability to pay
dividends depends, to a large extent, upon the dividends received from the
Bank.
Dividends are restricted to the extent that no portion of the Bank's
capital stock or capital surplus may be withdrawn for the payment of dividends.
In addition, no dividends may be paid in an amount greater than the net
retained profits then on hand, less certain deductions for bad debts. Approval
by the OCC is required prior to the payment of dividends if the total of all
dividends, including the proposed dividend, declared by the Bank in any given
calendar year exceeds the Bank's
-10-
<PAGE> 13
net profits for that year combined with its retained net profits for the
preceding two years.
Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, an insured bank is prohibited
from paying dividends on its capital stock while in default on payment of any
assessment due to the FDIC, except in those cases where the amount of the
assessment is in dispute and the insured bank has deposited satisfactory
security. The Bank has timely paid all such notices of assessment. In
addition, banks are prohibited from paying dividends if such dividends would
cause them to be less than "adequately capitalized," as defined by the Federal
banking agencies.
Given the foregoing restrictions, and the Company's present intention
to accumulate retained earnings to support the Company's future growth, it is
unlikely that the Company will pay cash dividends with respect to the Common
Stock for the foreseeable future.
The Company has declared stock dividends from time to time in the
past, but has not adopted a policy with respect to future stock dividends. The
most recent stock dividend declared by the Company was a 7% stock dividend
declared on March 19, 1996, payable on April 20, 1996 on shares of Common Stock
held of record as of March 29, 1996. The declaration of future stock dividends
is at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA.
The following table sets forth selected consolidated financial data

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations of Century Bancshares, Inc. ("Company"), which analyzes
the major elements of the Company's consolidated statements of operations and
financial condition, should be read in conjunction with the detailed
information and consolidated financial statements, and the notes related
thereto, included elsewhere herein. References to the operations of the
Company include the operations of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Century National
Bank ("Bank"), unless the context otherwise requires.
GENERAL
The Company derives substantially all of its revenues and income from
the operation of the Bank, which provides a full range of commercial and
consumer banking services to individuals, small and middle market businesses,
and other organizations in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. The Bank's
mission statement is as follows:
Century National Bank is a community bank comprised of experienced
professionals with a flexible and creative approach to banking.
-13-
<PAGE> 16
We are leaders in providing traditional banking services, enhanced by
proven technology, to customers who value a person-to-person banking
relationship.
We specialize in lending to professionals, business-to-business
service companies, and non-profit organizations.
We do this to build long-term value for our customers, employees and
owners.
As of December 31, 1996, the Company had total assets of $107 million,
total loans of $71 million, total deposits of $91 million, and total
stockholders' equity of $6.8 million. The Company had net income of $279,000
for the year ended December 31, 1996, resulting in a return on equity of 4.2%
and a return on assets of 0.27%.
The Company's current strategic plan is directed toward the
enhancement of its franchise value and operating profitability through a
significant increase in its asset size, the development of new commercial
accounts and loans, and expansion into the nearby Maryland and Virginia
markets. The Company plans to acquire or establish banking offices in
high-density commercial districts, and may in some cases open a temporary loan
production office ("LPO") prior to establishing a full service branch. The
Bank acquired its first branch office in downtown Washington in 1994 and in
1996 established an LPO in Tysons Corner, Virginia, which will be replaced by a
full service branch in April of 1997. On March 13, 1997, the OCC approved the
Bank's application to establish a full service branch in Bethesda, Maryland.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NET INCOME
Net income was $279,000 ($0.23 per common share) for 1996, compared
with net income of $613,000 ($0.57 per common share) for 1995, a decrease of
$334,000 or 55%. The decrease in net income for 1996 compared with 1995
resulted principally from a $763,000 increase in noninterest expenses primarily
attributable to costs associated with new telephone and computer systems,
processing costs in support of new fee-generating products and services, and
expenses relating to the registration of Company Common Stock with the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). A $134,000 increase in the
provision for loan losses also contributed to the decrease in net income for
1996 compared with 1995. These increased expenses were partially offset by a
$396,000 increase in net interest income and a $130,000 increase in noninterest
income.
Net income for 1995 was restated to reflect an adjustment to the
Company's deferred compensation liability account. The impact of this
adjustment resulted in a decrease to previously reported net income of $67,000
in 1995. See Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for
additional discussion.
Net income, as restated, was $613,000 for 1995 ($0.57 per common
share), a 4% increase compared with $591,000 for 1994 ($0.58 per common share).
The increase in net income from 1994 to 1995 resulted from a $708,000 increase
in net interest income and a $35,000 increase in non-interest income, which
were offset by a $776,000 increase in non-interest expenses primarily
-14-
<PAGE> 17
resulting from initiatives designed to stimulate quality asset growth, such as
the branch office and business development efforts described above.
In the above discussion, all "per share" amounts have been adjusted to
give effect to the Company's seven percent (7%) stock dividend which was
distributed to stockholders of record as of March 31, 1996, and the two (2)
five percent (5%) stock dividends which were distributed to stockholders of
record as of March 31, 1995, and March 31, 1994.
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income was $4,913,000 for 1996, an increase of $396,000
or 9% compared with 1995. This increase resulted from an increase in average
total interest earning assets of $2,186,000, and an increase in the Company's
net interest margin from 5.42% in 1995 to 5.74% in 1996, an increase of 32
basis points. The improvement in net interest margin resulted from the
Company's increased emphasis on commercial loans, which has increased the
overall yield of the loan portfolio, together with the fact that loans
constituted a higher percentage of the Company's total earning assets in 1996
than in 1995.
Net interest income was $4,517,000 for 1995, an increase of $707,000
or 19% compared with net interest income of $3,810,000 for 1994. The Company's
average total interest-earning assets increased from $77,825,000 for 1994 to
$83,348,000 for 1995, representing a 7% increase resulting principally from an
increase in loans. The net interest margin of 5.42% for 1995 increased 52
basis points from 4.90% for 1994.
The following table sets forth for each category of interest-earning
assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the average amounts outstanding, the
interest earned or paid on such amounts, and the average rate earned or paid
for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994:

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
Provisions for loan losses are charged to income to bring the total
allowance for loan losses to a level deemed appropriate by management of the
Company based on such factors as historical experience, the volume and type of
lending conducted by the Company, the amount of nonperforming assets,
regulatory policies, generally accepted accounting principles, general economic
conditions, and other factors related to the collectibility of loans in the
Company's portfolio.
The provision for loan losses for 1996 was $160,000, compared with
$26,000 for 1995, representing an increase of 515%. The increase is the result
of an increase in charge offs and reserves for certain consumer loans which
were deemed uncollectible when the borrowers declared bankruptcy, an
unanticipated $38,000 loss reserve established in the fourth quarter of 1996
resulting
-17-
<PAGE> 20
from a borrower's use of forged collateral as security for a loan, and a
$38,000 increase in reserves during the fourth quarter of 1996 for two
non-accural loans secured by real estate. In addition, the Company's loan
portfolio continued to grow during 1996, with the majority of growth occurring
in the commercial portfolio.
The provision for loan losses for 1995 was $26,000, compared with
$19,000 for 1994, representing an increase of $7,000 or 36%. The provision
expense for both years was modest, compared to industry averages and the
Company's own historical experience, as a result of significant recoveries of
loans charged off prior to 1994, as well as improvement in the local and
national economy during that period.
Management believes the allowance is adequate to absorb losses
inherent in the loan portfolio. In view of the Company's plans to continue its
loan growth with increased emphasis on commercial loans (which are generally
considered to be more risky than loans secured by real estate), it is likely
that the Company will continue to maintain an adequate allowance for loan
losses through future provisions charged to income. Management will continue to
closely monitor the performance of its portfolio and make additional provisions
as considered necessary. The Company does not presently anticipate that such
provisions will have a material adverse impact on the Company's results of
operations in future periods.
NONINTEREST INCOME
Noninterest income for 1996 was $720,000, an increase of $130,000 or
22% compared with noninterest income of $590,000 for 1995. This increase
resulted primarily from fees generated in connection with the Bank's
Mastercard/Visa credit card program, which was initially established in March
1995. These fees, which are reported along with other items as commission and
fee income, increased approximately $75,000 or 46% during 1996 as compared to
1995.
Noninterest income was $590,000 for 1995, compared with $555,000 for
1994, an increase of $35,000 or 6% resulting primarily from fees associated
with the credit card program. The $123,000 or 164% increase in commission and
fee income from 1994 to 1995 was partially offset by a $127,000 or 93% decrease
in other income during the same period. This decline in other income
represented a return to more normal levels from the unusually high levels in
1994 caused by the receipt of miscellaneous non-recurring income items.

income for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994:

NONINTEREST EXPENSE
The Company's noninterest expense has been consistently higher in
relation to its asset size than the average for small community banks. The
Company's strategy is to increase its asset size significantly so that its
level of noninterest expense in relation to its assets is more in line with
those of comparable institutions. To support an increased rate of asset
growth, branch expansion and increased product and service offerings, the
Company invested approximately $1 million to upgrade its telephone and computer
systems during 1995 and 1996. In addition to these capital expenditures, the
Company incurred consulting expenses associated with the installation,
specialized programming and security aspects of the computer system. As a
result, the Company's noninterest expenses during such periods have increased
in anticipation of a subsequent increase in total assets. No assurance may be
given, however, that the anticipated asset growth or branch expansions will
occur.
-19-
<PAGE> 22
Noninterest expense was $4,920,000 for 1996, an increase of $763,000
or 18% compared with noninterest expense of $4,157,000 for 1995. The
installation of the new computer system, the writeoff of certain custom
software development costs for software under design but abandoned prior to
completion, unanticipated consulting, special audit, and legal expenses related
to delivery, payments, and security for the computer system required the Bank
to incur substantial nonrecurring expenses in connection with the installation
of the new computer system. Additionally, during the same period in 1996,
management of the Bank's operations and financial reporting functions related
to the utilization of the computer system were realigned. This realignment
resulted in unanticipated expenses including negotiated payments for personnel
severance, accrued leave, and related expenses. In the aggregate, these items
represented approximately $304,000 in nonrecurring expenses. A total of
$112,000 in nonrecurring expenses were incurred to file a registration
statement with the SEC registering shares of the Company's Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of the Company's outstanding Warrants to Purchase Common
Stock. The remainder of the increase in noninterest expense resulted
principally from depreciation expenses associated with the Bank's new computer
and telephone systems and remote ATM, as well as data processing costs in
support of the credit card program.
Noninterest expense was $4,157,000 for 1995, compared with $3,381,000
for 1994, representing an increase of $776,000 or 23%. The increase from 1994
to 1995 was primarily attributable to increased personnel and occupancy
expenses associated with the Pennsylvania Avenue branch office, which was
acquired on September 16, 1994, together with increased expenses incurred in
connection with marketing programs.

expense for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994:

INCOME TAX EXPENSE
The Company's effective tax rate increased from 33.7% in 1995 to 49.6%
in 1996 due to the nondeductible nature of the $112,000 expense incurred in
connection with the registration of shares of the Company's Common Stock with
the SEC. The Company's effective tax rate declined from 38.7% in 1994 to 33.7%
in 1995 as a result of adjustments made to the amounts of deferred tax assets
and deferred tax liabilities. These adjustments were recorded based upon the
Company's analysis of the carrying value of its deferred tax items.

INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY MANAGEMENT
Net interest income, which constitutes one of the principal sources of
income for the Company, represents the difference between interest income on
interest-earning assets and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities.
The difference between the Company's interest-rate sensitive assets and
interest-rate sensitive liabilities for a specified time-frame is referred to
as "gap." Interest rate sensitivity reflects the potential effect on net
interest income of a movement in interest rates. A financial institution is
considered to be asset sensitive, or having a positive gap, when the amount of
its interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within a given period exceeds
the amount of its interest-bearing liabilities also maturing or repricing
within that time period. Conversely, a financial institution is considered to
be liability sensitive, or having a negative gap, when the amount of its
interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within a given period
exceeds the amount of its interest-earning assets also maturing or repricing
within that time period. During a period of rising interest rates, a positive
gap would tend to increase net interest income, while a negative gap would tend
to have an adverse effect on net interest income. During a period of falling
interest rates, a positive gap would tend to have an adverse effect on net
interest income, while a negative gap would tend to increase net interest
income.
Management of the Company seeks to maintain a balanced interest rate
risk position to protect its net interest margin from market fluctuations.
Toward this end, the Company maintains an Asset/Liability Committee (the
"ALCO") which reviews, on a regular basis, the maturity and repricing of the
assets and liabilities of the Company. The ALCO has adopted the objective of
achieving and maintaining a one-year cumulative GAP, as a percent of total
assets, of between plus 10% and minus 10%. On a consolidated basis, the
Company's one year cumulative gap was plus 8.00% at December 31, 1996.
The following table sets forth the interest-rate sensitive assets and
liabilities of the Company at December 31, 1996, which are expected to mature
or are subject to repricing in each of the time periods indicated:

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
LOANS AND ASSET QUALITY
The Company presently is, and in the future expects to remain, a
middle market banking organization serving professionals and businesses with
interests in and around Washington, D.C. Most of the Company's real estate
lending is in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, and a
-23-
<PAGE> 26
substantial portion of its loan portfolio is collateralized by first mortgages
and home equity lines of credit on residences. This concentration is
declining, however, as the Company continues its emphasis on the development of
new commercial loan business. As of December 31, 1996 and 1995, approximately
$44,109,000 (62%) and $46,103,000 (67%) of the Company's total loan portfolio,
respectively, consisted of loans secured by real estate, of which
one-to-four-family residential mortgage loans and home equity lines of credit
represented $27,043,000 (38%) and $30,561,000 (44%), respectively, of the
Company's total loan portfolio.
Loan concentrations are defined as aggregate credits extended to a
number of borrowers engaged in similar activities or resident in the same
geographic region, which would cause them to be similarly affected by economic
or other conditions. The Company, on a routine basis, evaluates these
concentrations for purposes of policing its concentrations and making necessary
adjustments in its lending practices to reflect current economic conditions,
loan to deposit ratios and industry trends. As a result of the Company's
existing branch locations, the Company has significant concentrations of
customers and assets in the metropolitan Washington, D.C. area. As of December
31, 1996, the industry concentrations in excess of 10% of total loans, where
the borrowers as a group might be affected similarly by economic changes,
consists of loans to members of the legal profession ($17,700,000 or 25% of
total loans), business services ($10,826,000 or 15% of total loans), and health
care services ($9,374,000 or 13% of total loans). The Company offers lines of
credit, credit cards, home equity lines, and mortgage loans to these groups.
The amount of such loans which are past due or considered by management to be
potential problem loans is not material.
The primary types of loans in the Company's portfolio are residential
mortgages and home equity loans, commercial real estate loans, commercial
loans, and consumer installment and credit card loans. Generally the Company
underwrites loans based upon the borrower's debt service capacity or cash flow,
a consideration of past performance on loans from other creditors as well as an
evaluation of the collateral securing the loan. With some exceptions, the
Company's general policy is to require a debt service coverage ratio of 120%
for commercial and commercial real estate loans, a maximum gross debt ratio of
38% for consumer loans (including residential mortgage and home equity loans),
and a maximum loan-to-value ratio of 80% for all types of real estate loans.
Most of the Company's commercial real estate loans consist of owner-occupied
properties financed for the Company's regular commercial customers, rather than
speculative or investor-owned properties. Most of the Company's commercial and
commercial real estate loans are personally guaranteed by the owners of the
business, the primary exceptions to this requirement being loans to non-profit
and membership organizations. Given the localized nature of the Company's
lending activities, the primary risk factor affecting the portfolio as a whole
is the health of the local economy in the Washington metropolitan area and its
effects on the value of local real estate and the incomes of local
professionals and business firms. To mitigate this risk, the Company's
underwriting policy provides that each loan should be supported by an
economically independent secondary source of repayment. Any exceptions to the
general loan policy must be approved by the Executive Loan Committee.
Loans to directors, executive officers and principal stockholders of
the Company and to directors and officers of the Bank are subject to
limitations contained in the Federal Reserve Act, the
-24-
<PAGE> 27
principal effect of which is to require that extensions of credit by the Bank
to executive officers, directors, and ten percent stockholders satisfy certain
standards. The Bank routinely makes loans in the ordinary course of business
to certain directors and executive officers of the Company and the Bank, their
associates, and members of their immediate families. In accordance with
Federal Reserve Act guidelines, these loans are made on substantially the same
terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing for
comparable transactions with others and do not involve more than normal risk of
collectibility or present other unfavorable features. As of December 31,
1996, loans and commitments outstanding to directors and executive officers of
the Company and the Bank, their associates and members of their immediate
families totaled $2,277,000 (net of participations sold to other banks on a
non-recourse basis), which represented approximately 2.5% of total loans and
commitments outstanding as of that date. As of December 31, 1996, none of
these loans outstanding from the Bank to related parties were on non-accrual,
past due, restructured or considered by management to be a potential problem
loan.

NONPERFORMING ASSETS
Generally, interest on loans is accrued and credited to income based
upon the principal balance outstanding. It is the Company's policy to
discontinue the accrual of interest income and classify a loan as non-accrual
when principal or interest is past due 90 days or more and the loan is not well
secured and in the process of collection, or when, in the opinion of
management, principal or interest is not likely to be paid in accordance with
the terms of the obligation. The Company will generally charge-off loans after
120 days of delinquency unless adequately collateralized and in the process of
collection. A loan is considered in the process of collection if, based on a
probable specific event, management believes that the loan will be repaid or
brought current within a reasonable period of time. Loans will not be returned
to accrual status until the loan has been brought current and future payments
of principal and interest appear certain. Interest accrued and unpaid at the
time a loan is placed on non-accrual status is charged against interest income.
Subsequent payments received are applied to the outstanding principal balance.
Real estate acquired by the Company as a result of foreclosure or
in-substance foreclosure is classified as other real estate owned ("OREO").
Such loans are reclassified to OREO and recorded at the lower of cost or fair
market value less estimated selling costs, and the estimated loss, if any, is
-27-
<PAGE> 30
charged to the allowance for loan losses at that time. Further allowances for
losses are recorded as charges to other expenses at the time management
believes additional deterioration in value has occurred.
The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the
Company's non-accrual loans, OREO, and accruing loans which are contractually
past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest, for the periods
indicated:

respectively. The amount of interest income recognized on non-accrual loans
that was included in net income was $19,581, $13,500 and $13,500 for 1996, 1995
and 1994 respectively.
Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing as of December 31,
1996, totaled $50,000, of which $44,000 is composed of installment loans and
credit card debt. The remaining $6,000 is secured by real estate.
Non-accrual loans as of December 31, 1996 included two large secured
credits totaling $171,000 and three smaller credits. Both of the larger
credits are secured by real property.
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses based upon, among
other things, such factors as historical experience, the volume and type of
lending conducted by the Company, the amount of nonperforming assets,
regulatory policies, generally accepted accounting principles,
-28-
<PAGE> 31
general economic conditions, and other factors related to the collectibility of
loans in the Company's portfolios. Although management believes it uses the
best information available to make determinations with respect to the allowance
for loan losses, future adjustments may be necessary if such factors and
conditions differ from the assumptions used in making the initial
determinations. Based upon criteria consistently applied during the periods,
the Company's allowance for loan losses was $740,000 (1.22% of total loans) as
of December 31, 1994, $740,000 (1.07% of total loans) as of December 31, 1995,
and $826,000 (1.17% of total loans) as of December 31, 1996. The allowance for
loan losses as a percentage of nonperforming loans was 257% and 240% as of
December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

Although the Company considers the composition of its loan portfolio,
and the loss potential associated with different types of loans, in determining
the level of the allowance, the Company does not formally allocate its
allowance for loan losses by loan category. In considering the loss potential
associated with different types of loans, the Company considers its own
historical loss experience with each type of loan, together with any internal
or external changes which might suggest that future losses will be higher or
lower than the historical loss experience. Such additional factors include
changes in national or local economic conditions which affect the repayment
capacity of borrowers and/or the market value of collateral, trends in past due
payments, changes in underwriting standards, changes in loan originating and
servicing personnel, changes in the types of credit offered, and other factors.
INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES
The Company's investment portfolio of $7,372,000 as of December 31,
1996, consisted primarily of U.S. government agency obligations and
mortgage-backed securities. This represented a decrease of $6,307,000 or 46%
compared to the investment portfolio as of December 31, 1995, as investment
maturities were used to fund loan growth and enhance liquidity. The investment
portfolio declined 39% from $22,461,000 as of December 31, 1994 to $13,679,000
as of December 31, 1995, which was anticipated because all of the branch
deposits acquired by the Company in 1994 from the RTC were initially invested
in U.S. Treasury and agency securities, pending anticipated deposit runoff and
eventual redeployment of the deposit funds into the loan portfolio.
Investment securities held to maturity are stated at cost, adjusted
for amortization of premium and accretion of discount. Investment securities
available for sale are stated at fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 115,
"Accounting For Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," which was
adopted by the Company in 1994. The following table sets forth the book value

DEPOSIT ACTIVITIES
The Company's average balance of total deposits was $80,932,000 for
the year ended December 31, 1996, an increase of $1,054,000 or 1.3% compared
with average deposits of $79,878,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995,
which in turn represented an increase of $3,707,000 or 4.9% compared with
average deposits of $76,171,000 for the year ended December 31, 1994. The
Company views deposit growth as a significant challenge in its effort to
increase its asset size, a challenge which the Company is addressing through
its branching program, increased emphasis on commercial accounts, and offering
more attractive interest rates to stimulate deposit growth.
The following table sets forth the average balances and weighted

The Company seeks to rely primarily on core deposits from regular
customers to provide a stable and cost-effective source of funding to support
asset growth. The Company's Asset/Liability Management Policy limits total
brokered deposits to ten percent (10%) of the Bank's total liabilities. As of
December 31, 1996, brokered deposits represented $3,276,000 (3.3%) of the
Company's total liabilities.
As of December 31, 1996, total time deposits in excess of $100,000
accounted for $15,169,000 or 18.8% of the Company's total deposits. Of this
amount, $10,359,000 had a remaining term of six months or less. The following
table sets forth the amount of the Company's certificates of deposit of
$100,000 or more, by time remaining until maturity, as of December 31, 1996 and

RETURN ON EQUITY AND ASSETS
Return on average assets ("ROA") measures net income in relation to
total average assets and generally indicates an institution's ability to use
its assets profitably. Return on average equity ("ROE") is determined by
dividing annual net income by average stockholders' equity and indicates the
effectiveness of an institution in generating net income from the capital
invested by its stockholders. The following table sets forth the Company's
ROA and ROE for the periods indicated:

LIQUIDITY
The Company's Asset/Liability Management Policy is intended to
maintain adequate liquidity for the Bank and thereby enhance its ability to
raise funds to support asset growth, meet deposit withdrawals and lending
needs, maintain reserve requirements and otherwise sustain operations. The
Company accomplishes this primarily through management of the maturities of its
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The Company believes
that the Bank's present liquidity position is adequate to meet its current and
future needs.
Asset liquidity is provided by cash and assets which are readily
marketable, or which can be pledged, or which will mature in the near future.
The asset liquidity of the Bank is maintained in the form of vault cash, demand
deposits with commercial banks, federal funds sold, interest bearing deposits
with other financial institutions, short-term investment securities, other
investment securities available-for-sale, and short-term loans. The Company
has defined "cash and cash equivalents" as those amounts included in cash and
due from banks and federal funds sold. As of December 31, 1996, the Bank had
cash and cash equivalents of $19.8 million, an increase of $10 million compared
to December 31, 1995, which increase is primarily attributable to maturities of
investment securities and an increase in long-term borrowings.
As of December 31, 1996, $18,907,000 or 74% of the Company's total
investment portfolio, including federal funds sold and interest bearing
deposits held with other financial institutions, was scheduled to mature within
one year. The remainder of the portfolio consists of $3,501,000 (14% of total
portfolio) in U.S. Government, agency, and municipal securities that will
mature within two years, and $2,430,000 (9% of total portfolio) in federal
agency mortgage pass-through securities and collateralized mortgage obligations
with an estimated weighted average duration of approximately three years, and
the Bank's required stock investment in the FHLBA and the Federal Reserve Bank
of Richmond totaling $793,000. The unrealized gain contained in the
held-to-maturity portion of the investment portfolio as of December 31, 1996
was less than $1,200.
Liability liquidity is provided by access to core funding sources,
principally various customers' deposit accounts in the Company's market area.
As a member of the FHLBA, the Bank is authorized to borrow up to $13.3 million
secured by a blanket pledge of its portfolio of 1-to-4-family residential
mortgage loans. The Bank also has approved lines of credit from larger
correspondent banks to borrow excess reserves on an overnight basis (known as
"federal funds purchased") in the amount of $1.0 million and to borrow on a
secured basis ("repurchase agreements") in the amount of $5.0 million. As of
December 31, 1996, the Bank had no federal funds purchased or repurchase
agreements, and was utilizing $7,750,000 of its available FHLBA borrowings in
the form of fixed-rate term credit advances with an average cost of 6.73%. The
Company utilizes fixed rate term credit advances from the FHLBA to fund fixed
rate real estate loans of comparable terms and maturities.

<PAGE> 41
The Company's cash flows are composed of three classifications: cash
flows from operating activities, cash flows from investing activities, and cash
flows from financing activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was
$903,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996. Net cash provided by investing
activities, consisting primarily of payments and maturities of securities
available-for-sale, was $3.7 million for the year ended December 31, 1996. Net
cash provided by financing activities for 1996 was $5.2 million and was related
to an increase in long-term borrowings.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $448,000 for the year
ended December 31, 1995, and $303,000 for the year ended December 31, 1994. The
net cash used by investing activities was $6.8 million and $5.5 million for the
years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, and was primarily
reflected by an increase in net loans outstanding. Net cash provided by
financing activities, consisting primarily of growth in deposits, was $10.4
million and $3.8 million for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.
In the ordinary course of business, the Bank enters into commitments
to make loans and fund letters of credit, and the Company is also a party to
three operating leases with respect to its banking quarters. Details of these
commitments may be found in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.
The Company had cash on hand in the amount of $29,000 as of December
31, 1996 at the holding company level. The Company anticipates using these
funds, together with dividends received from the Bank, as working capital to
pay normal operating expenses. As of December 31, 1996, the Company had no
indebtedness outstanding at the holding company level.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
Total stockholders' equity as of December 31, 1996 was $6,750,000, an
increase of $385,000 or 6% compared with stockholders' equity of $6,365,000 as
of December 31, 1995. Net income for the year ended December 31, 1996 was
$279,000. In addition to these retained earnings, stockholders' equity was
also augmented by a $22,000 increase in the market value of investment
securities available-for-sale, net of tax effect, and $84,000 received from the
exercise of employee stock options.
Total stockholders' equity was $6,365,000 as of December 31, 1995, an
increase of $1,555,000 or 32% compared with stockholders' equity of $4,810,000
as of December 31, 1994. The increase in total stockholders' equity as of
December 31, 1995 was attributable to $613,000 of net income for 1995, $480,000
in net proceeds from the issuance of Common Stock, and a $502,000 increase in
the market value of investment securities available-for-sale, net of tax
effect, all partially offset by a $40,000 preferred stock dividend.
The OCC has established certain minimum risk-based capital standards
that apply to national banks. At December 31, 1996, the Bank exceeded all
applicable regulatory capital requirements. See Note 16 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.

ACCOUNTING MATTERS
In June 1996, the FASB issued SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers
and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities," which
will be effective for transactions occurring after December 31, 1996. This
Statement requires that, after a transfer of financial assets, an entity
recognize the financial and servicing assets it controls and the liabilities it
has incurred, and derecognize financial assets when control has been
surrendered. The transferor has surrendered control over financial assets only
if such assets have been isolated from the transferor, the transferee obtains
the right to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and any agreement to
repurchase the transferred assets can be satisfied by delivery of assets that
are readily obtainable. Liabilities and derivatives incurred or obtained in
exchange for transferred assets are initially measured at fair value.
Servicing assets and other retained interests in the transferred assets are
measured by allocating the carrying amount between the assets and the retained
interests based on their relative fair values. It is management's belief that
the adoption of this Statement will not have a material impact on the Company
or its results of operations.

IMPACT OF INFLATION, CHANGING PRICES AND MONETARY POLICIES
The financial statements and related financial data concerning the
Company presented herein have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, which require the measurement of financial
position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without
considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to
inflation. The primary effect of inflation on the operations of the Company is
reflected in increased operating costs. Unlike industrial companies, virtually
all of the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in
nature. As a result, changes in interest rates have a more significant effect
on the performance of a financial institution than do the effects of changes in
the general rate of inflation and changes in prices. Interest rates do not
necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the prices
of goods and services. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors
which are beyond the control of the Company, including the influence of
domestic and foreign economic conditions and the monetary and fiscal policies
of the United States government and federal agencies, particularly the Federal
Reserve Board. The Federal Reserve Board implements national monetary policy
such as seeking to curb inflation and combat recession by its open market
operations in United States government securities, control of the discount rate
applicable to borrowing by banks, and establishment of reserve requirements
against bank deposits. The actions of the Federal Reserve Board in these areas
influence the growth of bank loans, investments and deposits, and affect the
interest rates charged on loans and paid on deposits. The nature, timing and
impact of any future changes in federal monetary and fiscal policies on the
Bank and its results of operations are not predictable.
DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
Items 1 and 7 of this document include forward looking statements

statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that
its expectations will be achieved. Important factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially from the Company's expectations are disclosed in
conjunction with the forward looking statements included herein (Cautionary
Disclosures). Subsequent written and oral forward looking statements
attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are expressly
qualified in their entirety by the Cautionary Disclosures.

(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
The primary business of Century Bancshares, Inc. (the Company) and its
subsidiary, Century National Bank (Century Bank) is to attract
deposits from individual and corporate customers and to originate
loans secured by residential and commercial real estate, business
assets, and other personal property. The Company operates primarily
in the District of Columbia and targets individuals and businesses in
professional services as its clientele. The Company is subject to
competition from other financial institutions in attracting and
retaining deposits and in making loans. The Company and Century Bank
are subject to the regulations of certain agencies of the federal
government and undergo periodic examinations by those agencies.
BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION
The financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis and
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. In
preparing the financial statements, management is required to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and
expenses for the period. Actual results could differ significantly
from those estimates.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and Century Bank. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
INVESTMENT SECURITIES
The Company classifies its debt and marketable equity securities in
one of three categories: trading, available-for-sale, or
held-to-maturity. Trading securities are bought and held principally
for the purpose of selling them in the near term. Held-to-maturity
securities are those securities that the Company has the ability and
intent to hold until maturity. All other securities not classified as
trading or held-to-maturity are classified as available-for-sale. The
Company does not engage in trading activities and, accordingly, has no
trading portfolio.
Available-for-sale and trading securities are recorded at fair value.
Held-to-maturity securities are recorded at amortized cost, adjusted
for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts.
Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of the related tax effect, on
available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and are
reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity until
realized.
A decline in the market value of any available-for-sale or
held-to-maturity security below cost that is deemed other than
temporary is charged to earnings, resulting in the establishment of a
new cost basis for the security.

CENTURY BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
================================================================================
(1) CONTINUED
Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the
related security as an adjustment to yield using the effective
interest method. Dividend and interest income are recognized when
earned. Realized gains and losses for securities classified as
available-for-sale and held-to-maturity are included in earnings and
are derived using the specific identification method for determining
the cost of securities sold.
Prepayment of the mortgages securing the collateralized mortgage
obligations may affect the maturity date and yield to maturity. The
Company uses actual principal prepayment experience and estimates of
future principal prepayments in calculating the yield necessary to
apply the effective interest method.
INCOME RECOGNITION ON LOANS
Interest on loans is credited to income as earned on the principal
amount outstanding. When, in management's judgment, the full
collectibility of principal or interest on a loan becomes uncertain,
that loan is placed on a cash basis (nonaccrual) for purposes of
income recognition. Accrued but uncollected interest on nonaccrual
loans is charged against current income.
Interest accruals are resumed on such loans only when they are brought
fully current with respect to principal and interest and when, in the
judgment of management, the loans have demonstrated a new period of
performance and are estimated to be fully collectible as to both
principal and interest.
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance available for
losses incurred on loans. It is established through charges to
earnings in the form of provisions for loan losses. Loan losses are
charged to the allowance for loan losses when a determination is made
that collection is unlikely to occur. Recoveries are credited to the
allowance at the time of recovery.
Prior to the beginning of each year, and quarterly during the year,
management estimates whether the allowance for loan losses is adequate
to absorb losses that can be anticipated in the existing portfolio.
Based on these estimates, an amount is charged to the provision for
loan losses to adjust the allowance to a level determined to be
adequate to absorb currently anticipated losses.

================================================================================
(1) CONTINUED
Management's judgment as to the level of future losses on existing
loans involves management's internal review of the loan portfolio,
including an analysis of the borrowers' current financial position,
the consideration of current and anticipated economic conditions and
their potential effects on specific borrowers; an evaluation of the
existing relationships among loans, potential loan losses, and the
present level of the loan loss allowance; and results of examinations
by independent consultants. In determining the collectibility of
certain loans, management also considers the fair value of any
underlying collateral. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as
an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the
Company's allowances for losses on loans and other real estate owned.
Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the
allowances based on their judgments about information available to
them at the time of their examination.
Effective January 1, 1995, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment
of a Loan, as amended by Statement 118, Accounting by Creditors for
Impairment of a Loan E Income Recognition and Disclosures
(collectively referred to as SFAS No. 114). SFAS No. 114 addresses
the accounting by creditors for the impairment of all loans except for
large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans that are
collectively evaluated for impairment, and certain other types of
loans specifically excluded by the Standard.
SFAS No. 114 requires that impaired loans be measured at the present
value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective
interest rate, or at the loan's observable market price or the fair
value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. A loan
is considered impaired when, based on current information and events,
it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts
due according to the contractual terms of the original loan agreement.
The adoption of SFAS No. 114 did not have a significant effect on the
Company's financial statements. All loans receivable have been
evaluated for collectibility under the provisions of these standards,
except for the consumer and home equity loan portfolios, which are
evaluated collectively as large groups of smaller balance homogeneous
loans.
Impaired loans are specifically reviewed loans for which it is
probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due
according to the terms of the loan agreement. The specific factors
that influence management's judgment in determining when a loan is
impaired include evaluation of financial strength of the borrower and
the fair value of the collateral. The Company's impaired loans are
generally nonaccrual loans and restructured loans. Restructured loans
are impaired loans in the year of restructuring and thereafter, such
loans are subject to management's evaluation of impairment based on
the restructured terms. The Company's charge-off policy for impaired
loans is consistent with its policy for all loan charge-offs.
Impaired loans are charged-off when all or a portion thereof is
considered uncollectible or transferred to foreclosed properties.
Consistent with the Company's method for nonaccrual loans, interest
receipts on impaired loans are applied to principal.

LOAN FEES
Loan origination fees and direct loan origination costs are deferred
and recognized either upon the sale of a loan or amortized as an
adjustment to yield over the life of the loan.
LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS, FURNITURE, AND EQUIPMENT
Leasehold improvements, furniture, and equipment are stated at cost,
less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Amortization of
leasehold improvements is computed using the straight-line method over
the estimated useful lives of the improvements or the lease term,
whichever is shorter. Depreciation of furniture and equipment is
computed using the straight-line method over their estimated useful
lives.
OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED
Real estate acquired through foreclosure is recorded at the lower of
cost or fair value less estimated selling costs. Management
periodically evaluates the recoverability of the carrying value of
other real estate owned. Costs relating to property improvements are
capitalized, and costs relating to holding properties are charged to
expense. Gains or losses on the sale of other real estate owned are
recognized upon disposition of the property.
INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes based upon the asset and
liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized
for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between
the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and
liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax
credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income
in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be
recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and
liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the
period that includes the enactment date.
INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
Income per common share is computed by dividing net income less
preferred stock dividends by the weighted average number of common and
common equivalent shares (when dilutive and significant) outstanding
during the year. Common equivalent shares result from stock options
and warrants outstanding and are computed using the treasury stock
method.

On March 14, 1995, the Company declared a 5 percent stock dividend to
common stock shareholders of record as of March 31, 1995, resulting in
the issuance of 41,072 shares. On March 19, 1996, the Company
declared a 7 percent stock dividend to common stock shareholders of
record as of March 31, 1996, resulting in the issuance of 73,047
shares.
Weighted average shares outstanding and income per common share have
been restated for the effect of the stock dividends.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company has defined cash and
cash equivalents as those amounts included in cash and due from banks
and federal funds sold.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NOT YET IMPLEMENTED
During February of 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share (SFAS 128). SFAS 128
establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share
(EPS) and applies to entities with publicly held common stock or
potential common stock. SFAS 128 is effective for financial
statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997,
including interim periods. Management does not expect that the
adoption of SFAS 128 will have a material impact on the Company's
financial condition or reported earnings per share.
During February 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 129, Disclosure of Information about Capital
Structure (SFAS 129). SFAS 129 establishes standards for disclosing
information about an entity's capital structure and applies to all
entities. SFAS 129 is effective for financial statements issued for
periods ending after December 15, 1997.
STOCK OPTIONS
On January 1, 1996, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation, which permits entities to recognize as
expense over the vesting period the fair value of all stock-based
awards on the date of grant. Alternatively, SFAS No. 123 also allows
entities to continue to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and
provide pro forma net income and pro forma earnings per share
disclosures for employee stock option grants made in 1995 and future
years as if the fair value-based method defined in SFAS No. 123 had
been applied. The Company has elected to continue to apply the
provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and provide the pro forma disclosure
provisions of SFAS No. 123.

RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain amounts for 1995 and 1994 have been reclassified to conform to
the presentation for 1996.
(2) DEFERRED COMPENSATION
The deferred compensation liability for the deferred compensation
contracts was understated at December 31, 1996 by approximately
$225,000. The after tax effect of this understatement has been
reflected in the appropriate periods through restatement of previously
reported results. The impact on prior periods resulted in a decrease
to previously reported net income of approximately $67,000 in 1995 and
a cumulative impact on retained earnings at December 31, 1993 of
approximately $67,000. There was no impact on 1994 net income.
(3) RESTRICTED CASH
Under Federal Reserve Board regulations, banks are required to
maintain cash reserves against certain categories of deposit
liabilities. Cash balances qualified to meet these reserve
requirements consist of vault cash and balances on deposit with the
Federal Reserve Bank. Such restricted cash balances are included in
"Cash and due from banks" in the consolidated statements of financial
condition and amount to approximately $226,000 and $235,000 as of
December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

In the opinion of management, all transactions entered into between
the Company and such related parties have been and are in the ordinary
course of business and made on the same terms and conditions as
similar transactions with unaffiliated persons.
The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet
risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of
its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to
extend credit and standby letters of credit and financial guarantees.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer so
long as there is no violation of any condition established in the
contract. Commitments usually have fixed expiration dates or other
termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of
the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the
total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash
requirements.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the
Company to guarantee the performance of the contractual obligations by
a customer to a third party. The majority of these guarantees extend
until satisfactory completion of the customer's contractual
obligations. All standby letters of credit outstanding at December
31, 1996, are collateralized.

Those instruments may involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit
and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the
consolidated statements of financial condition. Credit risk is
defined as the possibility of sustaining a loss because the other
parties to a financial instrument failed to perform in accordance with
the terms of the contract. The Company's maximum exposure to credit
loss under standby letters of credit and commitments to extend credit
is represented by the contractual amounts of those instruments.

=====================================================================================
</TABLE>
At December 31, 1996, the Company did not have any financial
instruments whose notional or contractual amounts exceed the amount of
credit risk.
The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and
conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.
The Company evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a
case-by-case basis and requires collateral to support financial
instruments when deemed necessary. The amount of collateral obtained
upon extension of credit is based on management's evaluation of the
counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include deposits held by
the Company; marketable securities; accounts receivable; inventory;
property, plant and equipment; and income-producing commercial
properties.
Most of the Company's business activity is with customers located in
the District of Columbia, Maryland, and northern Virginia.
Accordingly, the ultimate collectibility of a substantial portion of
the Company's loan portfolio is susceptible to changes in conditions
in these markets.

Industry concentrations in excess of 10 percent of total loans where
the borrowers as a group might be affected similarly by economic
changes consist of loans to members of the legal profession, service
companies, and the health care profession. Century offers lines of
credit, home equity lines, and mortgage loans to these groups. The
aggregate total of loans to such groups was approximately $17.7
million, $10.8 million, and $9.4 million respectively, as of December

The Bank has been advised by the FHLB that it has a total credit
availability of $13.3 million. The FHLB credit availability does not
represent a firm commitment by the FHLB. Rather, it is the FHLB's
assessment of what the Bank could borrow given the Bank's current
financial condition. The credit availability is subject to change at
any time based upon the Bank's financial condition and that of the
FHLB, as well as changes in FHLB policies or Congressional mandates.
At December 31, 1996, the Bank's available credit from the FHLB was
$5.55 million.
In connection with its borrowings from the FHLB, the Bank is required
to own FHLB stock. At December 31, 1996, the Bank's investment in
FHLB stock had a par and carrying value of $674,000 and was
automatically pledged against FHLB advances. Advances from the FHLB
are secured by a blanket floating lien on the Bank's residential,
one-to-four family first mortgage loans.
(9) STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
On November 14, 1995, the Company issued 173,912 Units pursuant to an
Offering made on September 15, 1995, to existing holders of the
Company's Common and Preferred Stock. Each Unit consisted of one
share of Common Stock and one Warrant. The offering price was $5.75
per Unit.
Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of
Common Stock at a price of $5.75 per share, subject to adjustment.
The Warrants may be exercised at any time from November 15, 1996
through November 16, 1998. The Warrants may be repurchased by the
Company at any time on and after November 14, 1997 at a price of $.26
per Warrant.
Holders of the Company' Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred
Stock were given the opportunity to exchange their Preferred Stock for
Units at an exchange ratio of 1.305 Units per share of Preferred
Stock. At the time of the Offering, there were 61,327 shares of
Preferred Stock outstanding. A total of 27,449 shares of Preferred
Stock were exchanged, resulting in the issuance of 35,814 Units and
the payment of $40 to redeem fractional shares.
The remaining 138,098 Units were sold for cash, yielding net proceeds
to the Company of $711,187 after payment of costs associated with the
Offering. The Company used a portion of such proceeds to redeem the
remaining 33,878 shares of Preferred Stock, which was callable at
$7.50 per share.

(10) STOCK OPTION PLANS
Pursuant to the Century Bancshares, Inc. 1994 Stock Option Plan ("1994
Plan") the Company in 1994 reserved 150,000 shares of its common stock
for the issuance of incentive stock options and nonqualified stock
options to directors and key employees. As of December 31, 1996,
after adjusting for stock dividends and stock option activity, there
are 159,685 shares of stock reserved for issuance pursuant to the 1994
Plan, of which 104,954 shares are reserved for outstanding options and
54,731 shares are reserved for future option grants. These options
are granted for a term of 7 years to directors with immediate vesting,
and 10 years to employees with 25 percent of the original grant
vesting after each six, eighteen, thirty and forty-two months of
continued service. Both the price per option and number of options
available are adjusted for dividends.
In addition, there remain outstanding certain options granted to
directors and key employees under two prior option plans ("Prior
Plans") which expired in 1992 and 1993. As of December 31, 1996,
after adjusting for stock dividends and stock option activity, there
are 43,363 shares of stock reserved for issuance pursuant to options
granted under the Prior Plans, which options are still valid and were
not affected by the Plans' expiration. As of December 31, 1996, all
options granted under the Prior Plans are fully exercisable.
In connection with the 5 percent stock dividend effective July 31,
1993, March 31, 1994, and March 31, 1995, and the 7 percent stock
dividend effective March 31, 1996, the number of shares subject to any
outstanding options, the exercise price per share, and the number of
shares reserved for the issuance of future options have been
appropriately and equitably adjusted, pursuant to the stock option
plans, so as to maintain the proportionate number of shares without
changing the aggregate option price. In the tables below, the shares
and prices per share have been adjusted to reflect the stock
dividends.

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant
using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following
weighted-average assumptions used for grants in 1996 and 1995,
respectively: no dividends for either year, expected volatility of 20
percent for both years, risk free interest rates of 6.3 percent and
5.8 percent, and expected lives of 7 and 5 years.
As the Company continues to apply APB Opinion No. 25 in accounting for
its stock options, no compensation cost has been recognized for its
stock options in the financial statements. Had the Company determined
compensation cost based on the fair value at the grant date for its
stock options under SFAS No. 123, the Company's net income would have
been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

Net income, pro forma 244,585 586,074
Primary earnings per share, as reported .23 .57
Primary earnings per share, pro forma .20 .55
</TABLE>
Pro forma net income reflects only options granted in 1996 and 1995.
Therefore, the full impact of calculating compensation cost for stock
options under SFAS No. 123 is not reflected in the pro forma net
income amounts presented above because compensation cost is reflected
over the options vesting period and compensation cost for options
granted prior to January 1, 1995 is not considered.

</TABLE>
Net deferred tax assets of $531,990 and $474,610 at December 31, 1996
and 1995, respectively, are included in other assets.
The Company has not established a valuation allowance for deferred tax
assets. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets,
management considers whether it is more likely than not some portion
or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Based on the
level of historical taxable income during the carryback period and the
reversal of certain deferred tax liabilities, management believes it
is more likely than not the Company will realize the benefits of these
deductible differences.

approximately $1,544,000 was available to be paid to the Company in
dividends from Century Bank, pursuant to such regulatory restrictions.
As described in note 15, regulatory agencies have established laws and
guidelines with respect to the maintenance of appropriate levels of
bank capital that could further limit the amount available for payment
of dividends by Century Bank under regulatory restrictions if applied
in the future.

(16) CAPITAL AND LIQUIDITY
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991
(FDICIA) requires regulators to classify insured depository
institutions into one of five tiers based upon their relative capital
strengths and to increase progressively the degree of regulation over
the weaker ones, limits the pass-through deposit insurance treatment
of certain types of accounts, adopts a "Truth in Savings" program,
calls for the adoption of risk-based premiums on deposit insurance,
and requires banks to observe insider credit underwriting procedures
no less strict than those applied to comparable non-insider
transactions.
The Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act
(FIRREA) of 1989 requires depository institutions to maintain minimum
capital levels. In addition to its capital requirements, FIRREA
includes provisions for changes in the federal regulatory structure
for institutions, including a new deposit insurance system, increased
deposit insurance premiums, and restricted investment activities with
respect to noninvestment grade corporate debt and certain other
investments.
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, risk weightings, and other
factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital
adequacy require The Company and Century Bank to maintain minimum
amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier 1
capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as
defined), and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as
defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 1996, that the Bank
meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

As of December 31, 1996, the most recent notification from the OCC
categorized Century Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory
framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well
capitalized Century Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier
1 risk-based, Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There
are no conditions or events since that notification that management
believes have changed the institution's category.

(18) FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, Disclosure About
Fair Value of Financial Instruments (SFAS No. 107), requires the
disclosure of estimated fair values for financial instruments. Quoted
market prices, if available, are utilized as an estimate of the fair
value of financial instruments. Because no quoted market prices exist
for a portion of the Company's financial instruments, the fair value
of such instruments has been derived based on management's assumptions
with respect to future economic conditions, the amount and timing of
future cash flows and estimated discount rates. Different assumptions
could significantly affect these estimates. Accordingly, the net
realizable value could be materially different from the estimates
presented below. In addition, the estimates are only indicative of
individual financial instruments' values and should not be considered
an indication of the fair value of the Company taken as a whole.
CASH, INTEREST BEARING DEPOSITS WITH OTHER BANKS, AND FEDERAL FUNDS
SOLD
For cash and due from banks and interest-bearing deposits with other
banks, and federal funds sold the carrying amount approximates fair
value.
INVESTMENT SECURITIES AND MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES
For these instruments, fair values are based on published market or
dealer quotes.
LOANS, NET
The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash
flows, including estimated prepayments of principal, using the current
rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar
credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.
ACCRUED INTEREST RECEIVABLE
The carrying amount approximates fair value.
NONINTEREST-BEARING DEPOSITS
The fair value of these deposits is the amount payable on demand at
the reporting date.
INTEREST-BEARING DEPOSITS
The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and money market
deposits with no defined maturity is the amount payable on demand at
the reporting date. The fair value of certificates of deposit is
estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates
at which similar deposits would be accepted.

OTHER BORROWINGS
The carrying amount for variable rate borrowings approximate the fair
values at the reporting date. The fair values of the fixed rate
borrowings are estimated by discounting the future cash flows using
interest rates currently available for borrowings with similar terms
and remaining maturities.
ACCRUED INTEREST PAYABLE
The carrying amount approximates fair value.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ITEMS
Century Bank has reviewed the unfunded portion of commitments to
extend credit, as well as standby and other letters of credit, and has
determined that the fair value of such instruments is not material.

December 31, 1996 follows:

CHEVY CHASE BANK, F.S.B.
SUBLEASE
1. PARTIES.
This Sublease, dated as of November _____, 1996 is made between CHEVY
CHASE BANK, F.S.B. ("Sublessor"), and CENTURY NATIONAL BANK, a national
banking association, having a principal address of 1875 Eye Street,
N.W., Washington, D.C. 20006 ("Sublessee").
2. MASTER LEASE.
Sublessor is the lessee under a written lease dated April 7, 1989
wherein Greensboro Associates Limited Partnership ("Lessor") leased to
Sublessor approximately One Thousand Eight Hundred One (1,801) square
feet of rentable area located on the first floor in the building known
as Edmund Jennings Randolph Building at 8251 Greensboro Drive, McLean,
Virginia, (Master Premises).
3. PREMISES.
Sublessor hereby subleases to Sublessee on the terms and conditions set
forth in this Sublease the following portion of the Master Premises;
approximately One Thousand Eight Hundred One (1,801) square feet of
rentable area located on the first floor at 8251 Greensboro Drive,
McLean, Virginia (the "Premises").
4. WARRANTY BY SUBLESSOR.
Sublessor warrants and represents to Sublessee that the Master Lease
has not been amended or modified except as expressly set forth herein.
5. INITIAL LEASE TERM.
5.1 The term of this Sublease shall commence the later of December 1,
1996, the date of Overlandlord's Consent or delivery of the Premises
("Commencement Date"), and end on March 31, 1999 ("Termination Date"),
unless otherwise sooner terminated in accordance with the provisions of
this Sublease. Possession of the Premises ("Possession") shall be
delivered to Sublessee on the commencement of the Term. If Sublessor
permits Sublessee to take Possession prior to the commencement of the
Term, such early Possession shall not advance the Termination Date and
shall be subject to the provisions of the Sublease, including without
limitation the payment of rent.
5.2 Lease Year shall mean a period of twelve (12) consecutive months
commencing on the Commencement Date and each successive twelve (12)
month period thereafter; provided, however, that if the Commencement
Date is not the first day of a month, then the second Lease Year shall
commence on the first day of the month in which the first anniversary
of the Sublease Commencement Date occurs.
6. BASE RENT.
6.1 Minimum Rent. Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor as minimum rent,
without deduction, setoff, notice, or demand, at 8401 Connecticut
Avenue, Chevy Chase, Maryland 20815, ATTN: Leasing Department, or such
other place as Sublessor shall designate from time to time by notice to
Sublessee, the sum of Three Thousand Four Hundred Fifty-One and 92/100
Dollars ($3,451.92) per month (which amount is based on an annual Base
Rental Rate of Twenty-Three and 00/100 ($23.00) Dollars per square foot
of rentable area of the Premises), in advance on the first day of each
month of the Term, without deduction, setoff, notice or demand. On the
first day of the second and each subsequent Lease Year, the Base Rent
then in effect shall be increased Three (3%) Percent annually.
Concurrently with Sublessee's execution of this Sublease Agreement,
Sublessee shall pay an amount equal to one (1) monthly installment of
the Base Rent payable during the first Lease Year representing the
first month's Base Rent due under this Sublease. If the Term begins or
ends on a day other than the first or last day of a month, the rent for
the partial months shall be prorated in a per diem basis.
6.2 All sums payable by Sublessee shall be paid to Sublessor in legal
tender of the United States, without offset, deduction or demand, at
the address to which written notices to Sublessor are to be given or to
such other party or such other address as Sublessor may designate in
writing. Sublessor's acceptance of rent after it shall have become due
and payable shall not excuse a delay upon subsequent occasions or
constitute a waiver of any of Sublessor's rights.
6.3 Operating Costs. Sublessor is required under the Master Lease to
pay to Lessor all of the Premises pro rata share of the expenses in
excess of $6.00/Square Feet of operating the building and/or project of
which the Premises are a part ("Operating Costs"), including but not
limited to taxes, utilities, or insurance. Therefore in accordance with
the Master Lease, Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor as additional
charges its proportionate share of Operating Costs above actual
expenses for the year commencing January 1, 1996 and ending December
31, 1996 incurred during the Term. Sublessee covenants and agrees to
pay, as additional rent (herein sometimes called "Additional charges"),
all sums of money or charges of whatsoever kind, nature or description,
if any (except Base Rent), as shall be required to be paid by Sublessee
pursuant to the terms of this Sublease, whether or not the same is
specifically designated herein as additional rent. Such additional rent
shall be payable as and when Operating Costs are payable by Sublessor
to Lessor. If the Master Lease provides for the payment by
<PAGE> 4
Sublessor of Operating Costs on the basis of an estimate thereof, then
as and when adjustments between estimated and actual Operating Costs
are made under the Master Lease, the obligations of Sublessor and
Sublessee hereunder shall be adjusted in a like manner; and if any such
adjustment shall occur after the expiration of earlier termination of
the Term, then the obligations of Sublessor and Sublessee under the
Subsection 6.2 shall survive such expiration or termination. Sublessor
shall furnish Sublessee with copies of all statements submitted by
Lessor of actual or estimated Operating Costs during the Term.
7. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS.
Sublessee shall keep and maintain the Premises and all fixtures and
equipment located therein in clean, safe and sanitary condition, shall
take good care thereof and make all necessary repairs thereto, shall
suffer no waste or injury thereto, and at the expiration or earlier
termination of the Lease Term, shall surrender the Premises in the same
order and condition in which they were on the Commencement Date,
ordinary wear and tear and unavoidable damage by the elements excepted.
All injury, breakage and damage to the Premises and to any other part
of the Premises or the Building caused by any act or omission of
Sublessee or any invitee, agent, employee, subtenant, assignee,
contractor, client, family member, licensee, customer or guest of
Sublessee (collectively "Invitees"), shall be repaired by and at
Sublessee's expense, except that Sublessor and/or Lessor shall have the
right at Sublessor's/Lessor's option to make any such repair and to
charge Sublessee for all costs and expenses incurred in connection
therewith if Sublessee is not diligently pursuing such repair.
8. ALTERATIONS.
8.1 Sublessee shall not make or permit anyone to make any Alteration in
or to the Premises without Sublessor's and Lessor's prior written
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
or delayed. Any Alteration made by Sublessee shall be made: (a) in a
good, workmanlike, first-class and prompt manner; (b) using new
material only; (c) by a contractor and in accordance with plans and
specifications approved in writing by Sublessor and Lessor; (d) in
accordance with all applicable legal requirements and requirements of
any company insuring the Building; (e) after obtaining public liability
and workmen's compensation insurance policies approved in writing by
Sublessor and Lessor; and (f) after delivering to Sublessor written,
unconditional waivers of mechanics' and materialmen's liens against the
Premises and the Building from all proposed contractors,
subcontractors, laborers and material suppliers for all work and
materials in connection with such Alteration. If any lien (or a
petition to establish a lien) is filed in connection with any such
Alteration, then such lien (or petition) shall be discharged by
Sublessee at Sublessee's expense within ten (10) days thereafter by the
payment thereof or filing of a bond acceptable to Sublessor.
Sublessor's consent to the making of an Alteration shall not be deemed
to constitute Sublessor's consent to subject its interest in the
Premises or the Building to any liens which may be filed in connection
therewith.
8.2 Permits. Sublessee shall, at its own expense, promptly obtain from
the appropriate governmental authorities any and all permits, licenses
and the like required to permit Sublessee to occupy the Premises for
the purposes herein stated. This requirement shall not relieve the
Sublessee of its liability for rent from the Commencement Date
hereinabove set forth.
8.3 If any Alteration is made without Sublessor's and Lessor's prior
written consent, Sublessor and Lessor shall have the right at
Sublessee's expense to remove and correct such Alteration and restore
the Premises to their condition immediately prior thereto or to require
Sublessee to do the same. All Alterations to the Premises made by
either party shall immediately become Sublessor's and Lessor's property
and shall remain upon and be surrendered at the expiration or earlier
termination of the Lease Term, except that Sublessee shall be required
to remove all Alterations made by Sublessee to the Premises which
Sublessor and/or Lessor designates in writing for removal at the time
of consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Sublessee is not in
default under this Sublease, Sublessee shall have the right to remove,
prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the Sublease Term,
all movable furniture, furnishings and equipment installed in the
Premises solely at Sublessee's expense. Movable furniture, furnishings
and equipment shall be deemed to exclude any item which normally would
be removed from the Premises with the assistance of any tool or
machinery other than a dolly. Sublessor and Lessor shall have the right
to repair at Sublessee's expense all damage and injury to the Premises
or the Building caused by any such removal or to require Sublessee to
do the same. If any furniture, furnishing or equipment is not removed
by Sublessee prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the
Initial Lease Term, then, excluding all Sublessee's trade fixtures, the
same shall become Sublessor's and/or Lessor's property and shall be
surrendered with the Premises as a part thereof; provided, however,
that Sublessor and/or Lessor shall have the right to remove from the
Premises at Sublessee's expense such furniture, furnishings or
equipment and any Alteration which Sublessor and/or Lessor designated
in writing for removal at the time of consent to such alteration.
8.4 Without limiting any other provision of this Sublease of the Lease,
Sublessee shall take good care of the Premises, suffer no waste or
injury thereto and shall comply with all laws, orders and regulations
which are imposed on Sublessor, as tenant under the Lease and are
applicable to the Premises, the Building and Sublessee's use thereof.
8.5 On or before the Termination Date, Subtenant shall remove from the
Premises at its sole expense, all of its personal property, Sublessee's
trade fixtures and other personal property owned by Sublessee and
installed in the Premises. Upon removal of Sublessee's property from
the Premises, Sublessee shall, at its sole expense, promptly repair and
restore the Premises to the condition existing prior to the placement
of such personal property upon the Premises and / or the installation
of such improvements and alterations, and repair any damage to the
Premises and / or the Building related to such removals, so as to
restore the Premises to the condition required under Subsection 8.6.
All property permitted or required to be removed by Sublessee upon the
Termination Date or sooner termination of this Sublease remaining on
the Premises after such Termination
<PAGE> 5
Date or sooner termination shall be deemed abandoned and may, at the
election of Sublessor, either be retained as Sublessor's property or
may be removed from the premises by Sublessor, at Sublessee's expense.
Any such expenses shall be paid by Sublessee to Sublessor upon demand
therefor, and shall be deemed rent collectible by Sublessor in the same
manner and with the same remedies as though such sums constituted basic
monthly rent or Additional Sublease Rent reserved hereunder.
8.6 Upon the Termination Date or sooner termination of this Sublease,
Sublessee shall quit and surrender the Premises to Sublessor in the
condition such Premises were in on the Commencement Date, broom clean,
in good order and condition, ordinary wear and tear and damage by fire
and other insured casualty excepted. Sublessee agrees to indemnify and
save Sublessor harmless from and against any and all loss, cost,
expense, or liability resulting from the failure of, or the delay by,
Sublessee in so surrendering the Premises on or before the Termination
Date, including, without limitation, any claims made by Landlord or any
succeeding Sublessee founded on such failure or delay.
9. SIGNS.
Any election by Sublessee to install signage shall be in accordance
with the Master Lease.
10. SECURITY DEPOSIT.
Upon execution of this Sublease, Sublessee shall provide one (1)
month's Base Rent as security deposit (the "Security Deposit"). If
Sublessee fails to pay rent or other charges when due under the
Sublease, or fails to perform any of its other obligations hereunder,
Sublessor may use or apply all or any portion of the Security Deposit
for the payment of any rent or other amount then due hereunder and
unpaid, for the payment of any other sum for which Sublessor may become
obligated by reason of Sublessee's default or breach, or for any loss
or damage sustained by Sublessor as a result of Sublessee's default or
breach. If Sublessor so uses any portion of the Security Deposit,
Sublessee shall, within three (3) business days after written demand by
Sublessor, restore the Security Deposit to the full amount originally
deposited, and Sublessee's failure to do so shall constitute a default
under this Sublease. In the event Sublessor assigns its interest in
this Sublease, Sublessor shall deliver to its assignee so much of the
Security Deposit as is then held by Sublessor. Upon expiration or
earlier termination of this Sublease, Sublessor shall return the
Security Deposit to Sublessee within thirty (30) days.
11. USE OF THE PREMISES.
The Premises shall be used and occupied only for the conduct of its
banking business and related financial services.
12. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
12.1 Sublessee shall not assign this Sublease or any of Sublessee's
rights or obligations hereunder, sublet or permit anyone to occupy the
Premises or any part thereof, or mortgage this Sublease or Sublessee's
rights hereunder, without Sublessor's and Lessor's prior written
consent. No assignment or transfer of this Sublease may be effected by
operation of law or otherwise without Sublessor's and Lessor's prior
written consent, which shall not unreasonably be withheld. Sublessor's
or Lessor's consent to any assignment, subletting or occupancy thereto
or Sublessor's or Lessor's collection or acceptance of rent from any
assignee, subtenant or occupant shall not be construed as a waiver or
release of Sublessee from any liability hereunder or from the
obligation of obtaining Sublessor's and Lessor's prior written consent
to any subsequent assignment, subletting or occupancy. Sublessee hereby
assigns to Sublessor and Lessor any sums due from any assignee,
subtenant or occupant of Sublessee as security for Sublessee's
performance of its obligations pursuant to this Sublease, and Sublessee
authorizes each such assignee, subtenant or occupant to pay such sums
directly to Sublessor or Lessor if such assignee, subtenant or occupant
receives written notice from Sublessor specifying that such rent shall
be paid directly to Sublessor or Lessor. Sublessor's or Lessor's
collection of such rent shall not be construed as an acceptance of such
assignee, subtenant or occupant as a tenant. All restrictions and
obligations imposed on Sublessee pursuant to this Sublease shall be
deemed to extend to any subtenant, assignee or occupant of Sub lessee,
and Sublessee shall cause such persons to comply with all such
restrictions and obligations. Any sublease, assignment or other
transfer shall be effected on forms supplied or approved by Sublessor
and Lessor. Sublessee shall pay all expenses incurred by Sublessor and
Lessor in connection with Sublessee's request for Sublessor's and
Lessor's consent to any assignment, subletting, occupancy or mortgage,
including but not limited to any reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in
preparing or reviewing documentation related to any such transaction.
12.2 Permitted Assignments. Sublessee shall have the privilege, without
the consent of Sublessor but subject to the requirements of subsection
12.7, to assign its interest in this Sublease to any Person who (i)
acquires all, or substantially all, of Sublessee's assets, either by
merger, consolidation or otherwise, and (ii) has a net worth,
determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
consistently applied, immediately after the assignment which is at
least as great as the net worth of Sublessee (determined in the same
manner) immediately before the assignment.
12.3 Subletting to Affiliates. Sublessee shall have the privilege,
without the consent of Sublessor but subject to the requirements of
subsection 12.7, to sublet all or any part of the Premises to
Affiliates of Sublessee.
12.4 Change of Corporate Control. If Sublessee is a corporation, any
transfer of any of Sublessee's issued and outstanding capital stock or
any issuance of additional capital stock, as a result of which the
majority of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Sublessee is
held by a Person or Persons who do not hold a majority of
<PAGE> 6
the issued and outstanding capital stock of Sublessee on the date of
this Sublease, in the case of the original Sublessee, or on the date on
which Sublessee acquires the leasehold estate under this Sublease, in
the case of a direct or indirect assignee of the original Sublessee,
shall be deemed an assignment under this Section 12; provided, however,
that this sentence shall not apply to a corporation if all of the
outstanding voting stock of such corporation is registered under
Sections 12(b) or 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. If Sublessee is a partnership, any transfer of any interest in
the partnership or any other change in the composition of the
partnership which results in a change in the control of Sublessee from
the Person or Persons controlling the partnership on the date of this
Sublease, in the case of the original Sublessee, or on the date on
which Sublessee acquires the leasehold estate under this Sublease, in
the case of a direct or indirect assignee of the original Sublessee,
shall be deemed an assignment under this Section 12.
12.5 Permitted Sublettings. Unless an Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing, Sublessor shall not unreasonably withhold or delay
Sublessor's consent to sublettings by Sublessee of a part or parts of
the Premises, but Sublessor shall not be obligated to consent to a
subletting for a use prohibited by Section 11. Each such subletting
shall be for undivided occupancy by the subtenant of that part of the
floor of the Building affected thereby for the use permitted under this
Sublease. Sublessor may, however, withhold such consent if, in
Sublessor's reasonable judgment, the proposed subtenant (i) is not
engaged in a business consistent with the character and dignity of the
Building, (ii) the proposed subtenant does not have sufficient
financial resources to perform its obligations under the sublease, or
(iii) the proposed subtenant will impose any additional material burden
upon Sublessor in the operation of the Building (to an extent greater
than the burden to which Sublessor would have been put to if Sublessee
continued to use, or used, such part of the Premises for its own
purposes) unless Sublessee agrees to pay all additional expenses
Sublessor incurs as a result of the additional material burden.
12.6 Subletting Profit. If any portion or portions of the Premises are
sublet and if the rent received by Sublessee on account of such
subletting exceeds the Basic Rent and Additional Charges, allocated to
the space subject to the subleases in the proportion of the area of
such space to the Rentable Area, plus actual out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by Sublessee in connection with Sublessee's subleasing of such
space, including advertising, brokerage commissions and the cost of
preparing such space for occupancy by the subtenant (such excess being
hereinafter referred to as "Subletting Profit"), then, except as
otherwise provided in the next sentence, Sublessee shall pay to
Sublessor fifty percent (50%) of Sublessee's Subletting Profit, monthly
as received by Sublessee from the subtenant(s).
12.7 Documentation. No permitted assignment or subletting shall be
valid unless, within 10 days after the consummation thereof, Sublessee
shall deliver to Sublessor (i) in the case of an assignment, (x) a
duplicate original instrument of assignment in form reasonably
satisfactory to Sublessor, duly executed by Sublessee, and (y) an
instrument in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Sublessor,
duly executed by the assignee, in which such assignee shall agree to
observe and perform, and to be personally bound by, all of the terms,
covenants and conditions of this Sublease on Sublessee's part to be
observed and performed, whether or not accruing before or after the
date of such assignment and whether or not relating to matters arising
before or after such assignment, or (ii) in the case of a subletting, a
duplicate original counterpart of the sublease signed by Sublessee and
the subtenant.
12.8 If Sublessee desires to assign, sublet or otherwise transfer all
or part of the Premises or this Sublease, then Sublessee shall give
Sublessor written notice ("Sublessee's Request Notice") of the identity
of the proposed assignee or subtenant and its business, the terms of
the proposed assignment or subletting, the commencement date of the
proposed assignment or subletting (the "Proposed Sublease Commencement
Date") and the area proposed to be assigned or sublet (the "Proposed
Sublet Space"). Sublessee shall also transmit therewith the most recent
financial statement or other evidence of financial responsibility of
such assignee or subtenant and a certification executed by Sublessee
and such proposed assignee or subtenant stating whether any premium or
other consideration is being paid for the proposed assignment or
sublease.
12.9 Sublessor shall have the right in its sole discretion to terminate
this Sublease with respect to the Proposed Sublet Space by sending
Sublessee written notice within fifteen (15) days after Sublessor's
receipt of Sublessee's Request Notice. If the Proposed Sublet Space
does not constitute the entire Premises and Sublessor elects to
terminate this Sublease with respect to the Proposed Sublet Space, then
(1) Sublessee shall tender the Proposed Sublet Space to Sublessor on
the Proposed Sublease Commencement Date as if the Proposed Sublease
Commencement Date had been originally set forth in this Sublease as the
expiration date of the Sublease Term with respect to the Proposed
Sublet Space, and (2) as to all portions of the Premises other than the
Proposed Sublet Space, this Sublease shall remain in full force and
effect except that the additional rent payable pursuant to Section 6
and the Base Rent shall be reduced proportionately. Sublessee shall pay
all expenses of construction required to permit the operation of the
Proposed Sublet Space separate from the balance of the Premises. If the
Proposed Sublet Space constitutes the entire Premises and Sublessor
elects to terminate this Sublease, Sublessee shall tender the Premises
to Sublessor on the Proposed Sublease Commencement Date, and the
Sublease Term shall terminate on the Proposed Sublease Commencement
Date.
13. ATTORNEYS' FEES.
If Sublessor or Sublessee brings an action to enforce the terms hereof
or declare rights hereunder, and prevails in any such action, the
losing party shall pay the reasonable attorney's fees incurred by
prevailing party.
14. NOTICES.
All notices and demands which may or are to be required or permitted to
be given by either party on the other hereunder shall be in writing.
All notices and demands by the Sublessor to Sublessee shall be sent
either by

be, and is referred to in this Sublease as, an "Event of Default": (a)

faith within 15 days, the time within which the Sublessee is required
to cure such default shall be extended for such additional period as
may necessary for the curing thereof with due diligence and in good
faith); (c) The assignment, transfer, mortgaging or encumbering of this
Sublease or the subletting of the Premises; (d) The taking of this
Sublease or the Subleased Premises, or any part thereof, upon execution
or by other process of law directed against Sublessee, or upon or
subject to any attachment at the instance of any creditor of or
claimant against Sublessee, which execution or attachment shall not be
discharged or disposed of within 30 days after the levy thereof; (e)
The vacating or abandonment of the Subleased Premises by Sublessee.
15.2 Sublessor's Rights Upon Event of Default. Upon the occurrence of
any Event of Default, Sublessor shall have the right, at its election,
then or at any time thereafter, either: (a) To give notice to Sublessee
that this Sublease will terminate on a date to be specified in such
notice, which date shall not be less than three days after such notice,
and on the date specified in such notice Sublessee's right to
possession of the Subleased Premises shall cease and this Sublease
shall thereupon be terminated, but Sublessee shall remain liable as
provided in subsection 15.3; (b) Without demand or notice, to reenter
and take possession of the Subleased Premises, or any part thereof, and
repossess the same as of Sublessor's former estate and expel Sublessee
and those claiming through or under Sublessee and remove the effects of
both or either, either by summary proceedings, or by action at law or
in equity, or by force (if necessary) or otherwise, without being
deemed guilty of any manner of trespass and without prejudice to any
remedies for arrears of rent or preceding breach of covenant.
If Sublessor elects to reenter under paragraph 15.2 (b), Sublessor may
terminate this Sublease, or, from time to time, without terminating
this Sublease, may relet the Subleased Premises, or any part thereof,
as agent for Sublessee for such term or terms and at such rental or
rentals and upon such other terms and conditions as Sublessor may deem
advisable, with the right to make alterations and repairs to the
Subleased Premises. No such reentry or taking of possession of the
Subleased Premises by Sublessor shall be construed as an election on
Sublessor's part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of
such intention is given to Sublessee under the first paragraph of this
subsection 15.2 or unless the termination thereof is decreed by a court
of competent jurisdiction.
15.3 Sublessee's Liability for Damages. If Sublessor terminates this
Sublease pursuant to subsection 15.2, Sublessee shall remain liable (in
addition to accrued liabilities) to the extent legally permissible for
(i) the sum of (A) all Basic Rent and Additional Charges provided for
in this Sublease until the date this Sublease would have expired had
such termination not occurred, and (B) any and all reasonable expenses
incurred by Sublessor in reentering the Subleased Premises,
repossessing the same, making good any default of Sublessee, painting,
altering or dividing the Subleased Premises, putting the same in proper
repair, reletting the same (including any and all reasonable attorneys'
fees and disbursements and reasonable brokerage fees incurred in so
doing), and any and all expenses which Sublessor may incur during the
occupancy of any new tenant (other than expenses of a type that are
Sublessor's responsibility under the terms of this Sublease); less (ii)
the net proceeds of any reletting actually received by Sublessor.
Sublessee agrees to pay to Sublessor the difference between items (i)
<PAGE> 8
and (ii) above with respect to each month during the Term, at the end
of such month. Any suit brought by Sublessor to enforce collection of
such difference for any one month shall not prejudice Sublessor's right
to enforce the collection of any difference for any subsequent month.
In addition to the foregoing, Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor such
sums as the court which has jurisdiction thereover may adjudge
reasonable as attorneys' fees with respect to any successful legal
proceeding or action instituted by Sublessor to enforce the provisions
of this Sublease, and Sublessor shall pay to Sublessee such sums as the
court which has jurisdiction thereover may adjudge reasonable as
attorneys' fees with respect to any successful legal proceeding or
action instituted by Sublessee to enforce the provisions of this
Sublease. Sublessor shall have the right, at its sole option, to relet
the whole or any part of the Subleased Premises for the whole of the
unexpired Term, or longer or from time to time for shorter periods, for
any rental then obtainable, giving such concessions of rent and making
such special repairs and alterations for any new tenant as Sublessor,
in its reasonable discretion, may deem advisable. Sublessee's liability
under this subsection shall survive the institution of summary
proceedings and the issuance of any warrant thereunder.
15.4 Liquidated Damages. If Sublessor terminated this Sublease pursuant
to subsection 15.2, Sublessor shall have the right, at any time, at its
option, to require Sublessee to pay to Sublessor, on demand, as
liquidated and agreed final damages in lieu of Sublessee's liability
under subsection 15.3, an amount equal to the difference, discounted to
the date of such demand at any annual rate of interest equal to the
then-current yield on actively traded U.S. Treasury bonds with 10-year
maturities, as published in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release for
the week before the date of such termination, between (i) the Basic
Rent and Additional Charges, computed on the basis of the then-current
annual rate of Basic Rent and Additional Charges and all fixed and
determinable increases in Basic Rent, which would have been payable
from the date of such demand to the date when this Sublease would have
expired, if it had not been terminated, and (ii) the then fair rental
value of the Subleased Premises for the same period. Upon payment of
such liquidated and agreed final damages, Sublessee shall be released
from all further liability under this Sublease with respect to the
period after the date of such demand. If, after the Event of Default
giving rise to the termination of this Sublease, but before
presentation of proof of such liquidated damages, the Subleased
Premises, or any part thereof, shall be relet by Sublessor for a term
of one year or more, the amount of rent reserved upon such reletting
shall be deemed to be the fair rental value for the part of the
Subleased Premises so relet during the term of such reletting.
15.5 Acceleration. If (i) Sublessee fails to pay Basic Rent or
Additional Charges within five days after the date on which such Basic
Rent or Additional Charges are due, and (ii) such failure to pay occurs
either for three consecutive months or three times within any period of
six consecutive months, Sublessor may, in addition to its other
remedies under this Sublease, by notice to Sublessee, declare the Basic
Rent payable under this Lease for the next six months (or, at
Sublessor's option, for a lesser period) to be due and payable within
10 days after the date of such notice.
16. BANKRUPTCY TERMINATION PROVISION.
This Sublease shall automatically terminate and expire, without the
performance of any act or the giving of any notice by Sublessor, upon
the occurrence of any of the following events: (1) Sublessee's
admitting in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they
become due, or (2) the commencement by Sublessee of a voluntary case
under the federal bankruptcy laws, as now constituted or hereafter
amended, or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy,
insolvency or other similar law, or (3) the entry of a decree or order
for relief by a court having jurisdiction in the premises in respect of
Sublessee in an involuntary case under the federal bankruptcy laws, as
now constituted or hereafter amended, or any other applicable federal
or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, and the
continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a
period of 30 consecutive days, or (4) Sublessee's making an assignment
of all or a substantial part of its property for the benefit of its
creditors, or (5) Sublessee's seeking or consenting to or its
acquiescing in the appointment of, or the taking of possession by, a
receiver, trustee or custodian for all or a custodian by, a receiver,
trustee or custodian for all or a substantial part of its property, or
(6) the entry of a court order without Sublessee's consent, which order
shall not be vacated, set aside or stayed within 30 days from the date
of entry, appointing a receiver, trustee or custodian for all or
substantial part of its property. The provisions of this Section shall
be construed with due recognition for the provisions of the federal
bankruptcy laws, where applicable, but shall be interpreted in a manner
which results in a termination of this Sublease in each and every
instance, and to the fullest extent, that such termination is permitted
under the federal bankruptcy laws, it being of prime importance to the
Sublessor to deal only with Sublessee's who have, and continue to have,
a strong degree of financial strength and financial stability.
17. SUBLESSEE'S INSURANCE.
17.1 Insurance Requirements. Sublessee, at Sublessee's sole cost and
expense, shall obtain and maintain in effect at all times during the
Term or earlier occupancy thereof, a policy of Commercial General
Liability Insurance naming Sublessor (and Lessor at the Sublessor's
request) as the Additional Insureds, protecting Sublessor, Sublessee
and such Additional Insureds against liability for bodily injury, death
and property damage occurring upon or in the Subleased Premises, with
such policy to afford protection to the limit of not less than
$1,000,000 with respect to bodily injury of death or damage to property
arising from any one occurrence and $2,000,000 from the aggregate of
all occurrences within each policy year. If such policy also covers
location other than the Subleased Premises, the policy shall include a
provision to the effect that the aggregate limit of $2,000,000 shall
apply separately at the Subleased Premises and that the insurer will
provide notice to Sublessor if the aggregate is reduced either by
payment of claims or the establishment of reserves for claims if the
payments or reserves exceed $250,000. If the aggregate limit of
$2,000,000 is reduced by the payment of a claim or the establishment of
a reserve, Sublessee agrees to take immediate steps to have the
aggregate limit restored by endorsement to the existing policy or the
purchase of an additional insurance policy which complies with this
subsection.
<PAGE> 9
17.2 Property Damage Insurance. Sublessee shall, throughout the Term,
at its expense, keep Sublessee's alterations and Sublessee's personal
property insured against loss or damage by fire with extended coverage
in an amount sufficient to prevent Sublessee from becoming a
co-insurer.
17.3 Policy Requirements. The insurance policies required to be
obtained by Sublessee under this Section: (i) shall be issued by an
insurance company of recognized responsibility qualified to do business
in the jurisdiction in which the Building is located which is rated
VI-A or better by Best's Key Rating Guide or which has an equivalent
financial rating from a comparable insurance rating organization, and
(ii) in the case of liability insurance, shall be written as primary
policy coverage. Neither the issuance of any insurance policy required
under this Sublease nor the minimum limits specified herein with
respect to Sublessee's insurance coverage shall be deemed to limit or
restrict in any way Sublessee's liability arising under or out of this
Sublease.
17.4 Evidence of Insurance. With respect to each insurance policy
required to be obtained by Sublessee under this Section, on or before
the Commencement Date, and at least 30 days before the expiration of
the expiring certificate previously furnished, Sublessee shall deliver
to Sublessor a certificate of insurance therefore, together with
evidence of payment of all applicable premiums for a period of one
year. Each insurance policy required to be carried hereunder by or on
behalf of Sublessee shall provide (and any certificate evidencing the
existence of each such insurance policy shall certify) that such
insurance policy shall not be cancelled or amended (other than to
increase the amount of coverage) unless Sublessor shall have received
20 days prior written notice of such cancellation or amendment.
17.5 Sublessor's/Lessor's Indemnification. Except for the willful or
negligent acts or omission (where applicable law imposes a duty to act)
of Sublessor or Lessor or their agents, employees or contractors,
Sublessee hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Sublessor or
Lessor against any and all claims, losses, actions, damages,
liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements) that (i) arise from or are in connection with
Sublessee's possession, use, occupancy, management, repair, maintenance
or control of the Subleased Premises, or any portion thereof, the
making or removal of alterations and the performance of all related
construction work, or in any other manner that relate to the business
conducted by Sublessee in the Subleased Premises, or (ii) arise from or
are in connection with any willful or negligent act or omission of
Sublessee or Sublessee's agents, employees or contractors, or (iii)
result from any default, breach, violation or nonperformance of this
Sublease or any provision therein by Sublessee, or (iv) arise from
injury or death to individuals or damage to property sustained on or
about the Subleased Premises. Sublessee shall, at its own cost and
expenses, defend any and all actions, suits and proceedings which may
be brought against Sublessor or Lessor with respect to the foregoing or
in which Sublessee or Lessor may be impleaded. Sublessee shall pay,
satisfy and discharge any and all money judgments which may be
recovered against Sublessor or Lessor in connection with the foregoing.
18. PARKING.
In accordance with Paragraph 17 of the Master Lease, throughout the
Term, Sublessor agrees to lease to Sublessee, and Sublessee agrees to
lease from Sublessor, the six (6) Structured Parking Spaces for use by
Sublessee and its employees and the eight (8) Surface Parking Spaces
for use by Sublessee's customers. Sublessee shall pay the Monthly
Structured Parking Space Fee of $43.04/month and the Monthly Surface
Parking Space Fee of $49.19/month to Sublessor, in advance, on the
Lease Commencement Date and on the first day of each month thereafter
during the Term in the same manner as the Basic Rent. In further
accordance with Paragraph 17 of the Master Lease, throughout the Term,
the Monthly Surface Parking Space Fee shall be payable only for four of
the Surface Parking Spaces and Landlord shall provide the other four
Surface Parking Spaces at no additional charge to Sublessor or
Sublessee. The Monthly Structured Parking Space Fee and the Monthly
Surface Parking Space Fee for the period between the Lease Commencement
Date and the last day of the month in which the Lease Commencement Date
occurs shall be pro-rated on a daily basis if the Lease Commencement
Date occurs on a day other than the first day of a month. Sublessee
agrees to use the Structured Parking Spaces and the Surface Parking
Spaces for the parking of passenger automobiles and for no other
purposes.
19. HOLDING OVER.
If Sublessee shall hold over possession of the Subleased Premises after
the end of the Term, Sublessee shall be deemed to be occupying the
Subleased Premises as a Sublessee from month to month, at 250% of the
Basic Rent, plus any additional charges incurred by Sublessee,
including but not limited to attorneys fees and the charges in
Paragraph 27 of the Master Lease adjusted to a monthly basis, and
subject to all the other conditions, provisions and obligations of this
Sublease, including the obligation to pay Additional Charges, insofar
as the same are applicable, or as the same shall be adjusted, to a
month-to-month tenancy.
20. LANDLORD'S CONSENT.
Sublessor and Sublessee each acknowledge and agree that this Sublease
is subject to Sublessor's obtaining the unconditional written consent
of Landlord in accordance with the terms of the Lease, and that if such
consent shall not be obtained within thirty (30) days of the date
hereof, this Sublease shall be deemed disapproved. It is hereby
acknowledged by Sublessor and Sublessee that this Sublease shall not
make Landlord or its agent a party to this Sublease, shall not create
any contractual liability or duty on the part of Landlord or its agent
to Sublessee, and shall not in any manner increase, decrease or
otherwise affect the rights and obligations of Landlord and Sublessor,
as lessor and lessee respectively, under the Lease. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Sublease, Sublessor shall
remain primarily liable to Landlord for any breaches of the terms of
the Lease.
21. OTHER PROVISIONS OF SUBLEASE.
<PAGE> 10
21.1 All applicable terms and conditions of the Master Lease are
incorporated into and made a part of this Sublease as if Sublessor were
the Landlord thereunder, Sublessee, the Tenant thereunder, and the
Premises the Master Premises, except for the following. Sublessee
assumes and agrees to perform the lessee's obligations under the Master
Lease during the Term to the extent that such obligations are
applicable to the Premises, except that the obligation to pay rent to
Landlord under the Master Lease shall be considered performed by
Sublessee to the extent and in the amount rent is paid to Sublessor in
accordance with Section 6 of this Sublease. Sublessee shall not commit
or suffer any act or omission that will violate any of the provisions
of the Master Lease. Sublessor shall exercise due diligence in
attempting to perform its obligation under the Master Lease for the
benefit of Sublessee. If the Master Lease terminates, this Sublease
shall terminate and the parties shall be relieved of any further
liability or obligation under this Sublease, provided however, that if
the Master Lease terminates as a result of a default or breach by
Sublessor or Sublessee under this Sublease and/or the Master Lease,
then the defaulting party shall be liable to the nondefaulting party
for the damage suffered as a result of such termination.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Master Lease gives Sublessor any
right to terminate the Master Lease in the event of the partial or
total damage, destruction, or condemnation of the Master Premises or
the building or project of which the Master Premises are a part, the
exercise of such right by Sublessor shall not constitute a default or
breach hereunder.
21.2 This Sublease may not be extended, renewed, terminated (other than
in accordance with the terms hereof), or by otherwise modified except
by an instrument in writing signed by the Party whom enforcement of any
such modification is sought.
21.3 Lessor shall have the same meaning as Landlord as defined in the
Master Lease and Lessee shall have the same meaning as Tenant as
defined in the Master Lease and both terms may be used interchangeably
in this Sublease.
22. AGENCY DISCLOSURE.
Sublessor and Sublessee each warrant that they have dealt with no other
real estate broker in connection with this transaction except CB
Commercial who represents Century National Bank.
23. COMMISSION.
Upon execution of this Sublease, and consent thereto by lessor (if such
consent is required under the terms of the Master Lease, Sublessor
shall pay the above referenced Real Estate Brokers a real estate
brokerage commission.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Sublessor and Sublessee have caused this Sublease to be
signed by their duly authorized officers as of the day and year first above
written.
