Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)


Note 1.  Basis of Presentation

These consolidated financial statements of South Branch Valley Bancorp, Inc. and
Subsidiaries ("South Branch" or "Company") have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting  principles for interim financial  information and
with  instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310 of Regulation  S-B.  Accordingly,
they do not include all the  information  and  footnotes  required by  generally
accepted accounting principles for annual year end financial statements.  In the
opinion  of  management,   all  adjustments  considered  necessary  for  a  fair
presentation have been included and are of a normal recurring nature.

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

The  results of  operations  for the three  month and nine month  periods  ended
September 30, 1998 are not necessarily  indicative of the results to be expected
for the full year.  The  consolidated  financial  statements  and notes included
herein should be read in conjunction  with the Company's 1997 audited  financial
statements and Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.

Effective   January  1,  1998,  South  Branch  adopted  Statement  of  Financial
Accounting  Standards  No.  130  (SFAS No.  130),  "Reporting  of  Comprehensive
Income".  Comprehensive  income  includes  any  change in equity of the  Company
during the period resulting from transactions and other events and circumstances
from nonowner sources. A Statement of Comprehensive  Income has been included in
these  consolidated  financial  statements  to comply with SFAS No.  130.  Prior
interim periods have been reclassified to provide comparative information.

Note 2.   Earnings Per Share

Basic  earnings per common share are  computed  based upon the weighted  average
shares  outstanding.  The weighted average shares outstanding for the nine month
periods   ended   September   30,  1998  and  1997  were  534,241  and  391,709,
respectively.  The  weighted  average  shares  outstanding  for the three  month
periods   ended   September   30,  1998  and  1997  were  592,292  and  412,827,
respectively.  During the periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, the Company
did not have any dilutive securities.

Note 3.  Acquisition of Capital State Bank, Inc.

On March 24, 1998 and March 25, 1998,  the  shareholders  of Capital State Bank,
Inc. and South Branch Valley Bancorp, Inc. respectively,  approved the merger of
Capital  State into Capital  Interim  Bank,  Inc., a wholly owned  subsidiary of
South Branch.  The merger was  consummated at the close of business on March 31,
1998.  This   acquisition  was  accounted  for  using  the  purchase  method  of
accounting.,  and  accordingly,  the  assets  and  liabilities  and  results  of
operations  of  Capital  State  are  reflected  in  the  Company's  consolidated
financial statements beginning April 1, 1998. The excess purchase price over the
fair value of the net assets acquired as of the consummation  date  approximated
$1,966,000,  which is included in other assets in the accompanying  consolidated
balance sheet as of September 30, 1998.  This goodwill is being amortized over a
period of 15 years  using the  straight  line  method.  The  following  presents
certain pro forma condensed  consolidated financial information of South Branch,
using the purchase method of accounting, after giving effect to the merger as if
it had been consummated at the beginning of the periods presented.

The Company  grants  commercial,  residential  and  consumer  loans to customers
primarily  located in the Potomac  Highlands and South Central  counties of West
Virginia.  Although the Company  strives to maintain a diverse  loan  portfolio,
exposure  to credit  losses can be  adversely  impacted  by  downturns  in local
economic and employment conditions. Major employment within the Company's market
area is diverse,  but primarily includes the poultry,  government,  health care,
education,  coal  production  and various  professional,  financial  and related
service industries.

Note 9.  Restrictions on Capital

South  Branch and its  subsidiaries  are subject to various  regulatory  capital
requirements  administered  by the banking  regulatory  agencies.  Under capital
adequacy  guidelines and the regulatory  framework for prompt corrective action,
South Branch and each of its subsidiaries must meet specific capital  guidelines
that  involve  quantitative  measures of South  Branch's  and its  subsidiaries'
assets,  liabilities  and certain  off-balance  sheet items as calculated  under
regulatory  accounting  practices.  South  Branch and each of its  subsidiaries'
capital amounts and classifications 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 South Branch and each of its  subsidiaries  to maintain  minimum amounts
and  ratios of total and Tier I  capital  (as  defined  in the  regulations)  to
risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average
assets (as defined).  Management believes,  as of September 30, 1998, that South
Branch and each of its  subsidiaries  met all capital  adequacy  requirements to
which they were subject.

The most recent  notifications from the banking regulatory agencies  categorized
South  Branch  and  each of its  subsidiaries  as  well  capitalized  under  the
regulatory  framework for prompt  corrective  action.  To be categorized as well
capitalized,  South Branch and each of its  subsidiaries  must maintain  minimum
total risk-based,  Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in
the table below.

South  Branch's and its  subsidiaries',  South  Branch  Valley  National  Bank's
("SBVNB") and Capital State Bank,  Inc.'s  ("CSB"),  actual capital  amounts and

South Branch Valley Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

INTRODUCTION

The following is a discussion and analysis focused on significant changes in the
financial  condition and results of  operations of South Branch Valley  Bancorp,
Inc.  ("Company"  or "South  Branch") and its wholly owned  subsidiaries,  South
Branch Valley  National Bank  ("SBVNB") and Capital State Bank,  Inc.  ("Capital
State"), for the periods indicated.  This discussion and analysis should be read
in conjunction with the Company's 1997 audited  financial  statements and Annual
Report  on  Form  10-KSB.  This  discussion  may  also  contain  forward-looking
statements  based on  management's  expectations,  and actual results may differ
materially.

ACQUISITION

At the close of  business  March 31,  1998,  South  Branch  acquired  60% of the
outstanding  common stock of Capital  State,  a Charleston,  West Virginia state
chartered  bank with  total  assets  approximating  $44  million  at the time of
acquisition,  in exchange for 183,465  shares of South  Branch's  common  stock.
South Branch had previously  acquired 40% of Capital State's  outstanding common
stock during 1997. This  acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method
of  accounting,  and  accordingly,  the assets and  liabilities  and  results of
operations  of  Capital  State  are  reflected  in  the  Company's  consolidated
financial statements beginning April 1, 1998.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Earnings Summary

The Company reported net income of $505,000 for the three months ended September
30, 1998  compared to $433,000 for the third  quarter of 1997,  representing  an
16.6%  increase.  For the nine month period  ended  September  30,  1998,  South
Branch's net income of $1,303,000,  increased 14.1% from the $1,142,000 reported
for the same period of 1997. The increase in earnings for both the quarterly and
nine month periods resulted primarily from growth in interest earning assets and
improved service fee revenues.

Earnings per common share were $0.85 for the quarter  ended  September 30, 1998,
compared to the $1.05 reported for the third quarter of 1997. For the nine month
period ended  September  30, 1998,  earnings  per common  share  totaled  $2.44,
compared to $2.92 for the same period of 1997.  The  declines in  quarterly  and
year-to-date  earnings per share are  attributable to the dilution  arising from
acquisition  of  Capital  State.  The  dilutive  effect of this  acquisition  is
expected to be offset in the future by improved earnings  performance of Capital
State  resulting  from its  continued  asset  growth and  planned  cost  control
initiatives.

Net Interest Income

The  Company's  net  interest  income on a fully  tax-equivalent  basis  totaled
$5,079,000  for the nine month  period  ended  September  30,  1998  compared to
$3,999,000 for the same period of 1997,  representing  an increase of $1,080,000
or 27.0%.  This increase resulted from growth in the volume of earning assets as
result of the  acquisition  of Capital State and as a result of continued  solid
loan growth.  South  Branch's  net yield on interest  earning  assets  decreased
slightly to 4.3% for the nine month period ended September 30, 1998, compared to
4.4% for the same period in 1997.  Growth in net interest  income is expected to
continue  due to  anticipated  continued  growth in volumes of interest  earning
asset,  principally  loans,  over

                                       16
<PAGE>

the near  term.  Conversely,  the  Company's  net  yield on  earning  assets  is
anticipated  to continue to contract over the balance of 1998,  primarily due to
Capital  State  having a lower yield on interest  earning  assets and a slightly
higher cost of interest bearing liabilities compared to that of SBVNB.

Further analysis of the Company's yields on interest earning assets and interest
bearing liabilities are presented in Table I below.

Credit Experience

The  provision  for loan  losses  represents  charges to earnings  necessary  to
maintain an adequate  allowance for potential  future loan losses.  Management's
determination  of the appropriate  level of the allowance is based on an ongoing
analysis of credit quality and loss potential in the loan  portfolio,  change in
the  composition  and  risk  characteristics  of the  loan  portfolio,  and  the
anticipated influence of national and local economic conditions. The adequacy of
the allowance for loan losses is reviewed  quarterly and adjustments are made as
considered necessary.

The  Company  recorded a $195,000  provision  for loan losses for the first nine
months of 1998,  compared to $110,000 for the same period in 1997. This increase
reflects  the  acquisition  of Capital  State and  continued  growth of the loan
portfolio.  Net loan  charge-offs  for the  first  three  quarters  of 1998 were
$45,000,  as compared to $134,000 over the same period of 1997. At September 30,
1998, the allowance for loan losses totaled  $1,317,000 or 1.0% of loans, net of
unearned  income,  compared to $895,000 or 1.0% of loans, net of unearned income
at December 31, 1997. See Note 6 of the notes to the  accompanying  consolidated
financial  statements for an analysis of the activity in the Company's allowance
for loan losses for the nine month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 and
for the year ended December 31, 1997.

As illustrated in Table II below, the Company's  non-performing assets and loans
past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest have remained stable during
the past 12 months, despite continued growth in the Company's loan portfolio.

Noninterest Income and Expense

Ignoring  the $96,000  gain on the sale of Bank  premises,  equipment  and other
assets recognized in 1997, total other income increased  approximately  $130,000
or 41.5% to $444,000  during the first nine  months of 1998,  as compared to the
first  nine  months of 1997.  The most  significant  item  contributing  to this
increase was service fee income,  which  increased  $109,000 from  approximately
$203,000 to $312,000, or 53.9%. This resulted primarily from a change in SBVNB's
deposit fee  structure.  Management  expects the Company  will  achieve  similar
levels of service fee income throughout the remainder of 1998.

Total  noninterest  expense  increased   approximately  $783,000,  or  31.4%  to
$3,272,000  during the first nine  months of 1998 as  compared to the first nine
months  of  1997.  Substantially  all  of  this  increase  resulted  due  to the
noninterest  expenses of Capital State incurred from the date of its acquisition
on April 1, 1998 through September 30, 1998.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets were  $190,874,000 at September 30, 1998,  compared to $140,648,000
at December 31, 1997,  representing a 35.7% increase,  which resulted  primarily
from the Company's  acquisition of Capital State effective April 1, 1998.  Table
III below serves to illustrate  the impact of the Capital State  acquisition  on
the Company's securities, loans and deposit portfolios, as well as shareholders'
equity.

Refer  to  Notes  4,  5 and 8 of the  notes  to  the  accompanying  consolidated
financial  statements for additional  information  with regard to changes in the
composition  of the  South  Branch's  securities,  loans  and  deposits  between
September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997.

LIQUIDITY

Liquidity  reflects the Company's ability to ensure the availability of adequate
funds to meet loan commitments and deposit  withdrawals,  as well as provide for
other  transactional  requirements.  Liquidity  is provided  primarily  by funds
invested  in cash and due from  banks and  Federal  funds  sold,  which  totaled
$8,751,000 at September 30, 1998 versus $9,752,000 at December 31, 1997. Further
enhancing the Company's  liquidity is the  availability as of September 30, 1998
of $5,010,000 in securities maturing within one year, plus additional securities
totaling in excess of  $30,761,000  classified as available for sale in response
to an unforeseen need for liquidity.  Additionally, the Company has unused lines
of credit  available  under various  existing  borrowing  arrangements  with the
Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh.

The  Company's  liquidity  position  is  monitored  continuously  to ensure that
day-to-day as well as anticipated funding needs are met. Management is not aware
of any trends, commitments, events or uncertainties that have resulted in or are
reasonably likely to result in a material change to the Company's liquidity.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

Maintenance  of a  strong  capital  position  is a  continuing  goal of  Company
management.  Through management of its capital  resources,  the Company seeks to
provide an  attractive  financial  return to its  shareholders  while  retaining
sufficient capital to support future growth.  Shareholders'  equity at September
30, 1998  totaled  $23,981,000  compared to  $15,061,000  at December  31, 1997,
representing  an  increase  of 59.2%  which as  illustrated  in Table III above,
resulted primarily from to the acquisition of Capital State.

See Note 9 of the notes to the accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements
for  information  regarding  regulatory  restrictions  on the  Company's and its
subsidiaries' capital.
