                      SOUTH BRANCH VALLEY BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
                    NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                   (Unaudited)


Note 1. Basis of Presentation

          The financial information included herein is unaudited;  however, such
          information  reflects  all  adjustments  (consisting  solely of normal
          recurring  adjustments)  which  are,  in the  opinion  of  management,
          necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods.

          The presentation of financial  statements in conformity with generally
          accepted  accounting  principles requires management to make estimates
          and  assumptions  that  effect  the  reported  amount  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 period ended March 31,
          1998 are not necessarily  indicative of the results to be expected for
          the full year.  The Condensed  Consolidated  Financial  Statements and
          notes included herein should be read in conjunction with the Company's
          1997 audited financial statements and Form 10-KSB.

          For the period ended March 31, 1998, the Company was required to adopt
          Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standard 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
          condensed  consolidated  financial  statements to comply with SFAS No.
          130.  Prior  interim   periods  have  been   reclassified  to  provide
          comparative information.

          Certain accounts in the consolidated  financial statements for 1997 as
          previously presented have been reclassified to conform to current year
          classifications.


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 three  month  periods  ended March 31, 1998 and March 31, 1997
          were 412,827 and 378,510, respectively. During the periods ended March
          31, 1998 and 1997, the Company did not have any dilutive securities.


Note 3. Acquisitions and Subsequent Events

          On November  15,  1995,  the Bank  acquired a branch  bank  located in
          Petersburg,   West  Virginia  from  an  unaffiliated  institution.  In
          connection  with this  acquisition,  the Bank  acquired  the  branch's
          assets  including its land,  banking  facility,  equipment and certain
          loans and assumed  certain  deposit  liabilities.  The acquisition was
          accounted  for as a  purchase  and the  results of  operations  of the
          Petersburg  Branch since the date of its  acquisition  are included in
          the accompanying  condensed  consolidated  financial  statements.  The
          Branch's  purchase  price and the related excess of the purchase price
          over the fair value of the net assets acquired (goodwill) approximated
          $186,000 and is being  amortized  over five years.  At March 31, 1998,
          the unamortized portion was approximately $99,000.

          On March 24, 1998 and March 25, 1998, the  shareholders of The Capital

          at the close of business on March 31, 1998. The merger will be treated
          using the purchase method of accounting;  accordingly,  the assets and
          liabilities  and  results  of  operations  of  Capital  State  will be
          reflected on the Company's consolidated  statements of operations from
          April  1,  1998  forward.   Based  upon   preliminary   estimates  and
          assumptions,  the excess purchase price over the fair value of the net
          assets  acquired  as  of  the   consummation   date  is  approximately
          $2,300,000.  This goodwill recognized is expected to be amortized over
          a period of 15 years using the straight line method.

          The   following   tables  set  forth   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,  with respect to the Statement of Operation,  at the
          beginning  of the period  presented,  and with  respect to the Balance

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


                            INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY

     The  following is  management's  discussion  and analysis of the  financial
condition and financial  results of operations for South Branch Valley  Bancorp,
Inc.(hereafter  referred to as the  Company)  and its wholly  owned  subsidiary,
South Branch Valley  National  Bank,  (hereafter  referred to as the Bank) as of
March 31, 1998. This discussion may contain forward looking  statements based on
management's  expectations and actual results may differ  materially.  Since the
primary business  activities of South Branch Valley Bancorp,  Inc. are conducted
through its wholly owned subsidiary (the Bank), the following discussion focuses
primarily on the financial condition and operations of the Bank. All amounts and
percentages have been rounded for this discussion.

Earnings Summary
- ----------------

     Net income for the first three months of 1998 totaled  $386,000,  a $47,000
or a 13.9%  increase  from the $339,000  earned  during the same period of 1997.
Annualized  return on average  assets at March 31, 1998 was 1.12% as compared to
1.09% at March 31, 1997,  an increase of 2.75%.  Earnings per share totaled $.93
at March  31,  1998  compared  to $.89  March  31,  1997,  representing  a 3.37%
increase. Details concerning the significant events or changes in the components
impacting the results of operations are addressed in the following sections.


                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Interest Income
- -------------------

     For the three  months  ended March 31,  1998,  the  Company's  net interest
income,  as adjusted to a tax  equivalent  basis,  increased  $69,000 or 5.4% to
$1,350,000  as compared  with  $1,281,000  for the three  months ended March 31,
1997. However,  the Company's net interest yield on earning assets (net interest
margin)  decreased 12 basis points from 4.40% at March 31, 1997 to 4.28% for the
three months ended March 31, 1998.  Management  feels that this  decrease is due
primarily to a competitive  local market for loans and deposits which has caused
a general  lowering  of rates on loans and an  increase  in the cost of borrowed
funds, which have been primarily used to fund the loan growth.  Pressures on the
net  interest  yield remain a concern.  A detailed  analysis of the net interest
yield by component is shown on Table I. No significant  fluctuations  were noted
and the Company  does not expect any  significant  change in the  Company's  net
yield during the remainder of 1998 given no  significant  changes in the present
interest  rate  environment.  Management  continues  to monitor the net interest
margin  through GAP  analysis  to minimize  the  potential  for any  significant
negative impact.

(1) For purposes of this table,  non-accrual  loans are included in average loan
balances.  Included in  interest  and fees on loans are loan fees of $47,000 and
$36,000 for the periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 respectively.

(2) For purposes of this table,  interest  income on tax-exempt  securities  has
been adjusted  assuming an effective  combined federal and state tax rate of 39%
for both periods presented. The tax equivalent adjustment results in an increase
in interest  income of $19,000 and $16,000 for the periods  ended March 31, 1998
and 1997 respectively.

Provision for Loan Losses and Loan Quality
- ------------------------------------------

     An  allowance  for loan losses is  maintained  by the Company and is funded
through  the  provision  for loan  losses as a charge to current  earnings.  The
allowance  for loan  losses is reviewed by  management  on a quarterly  basis to
determine  that  it is  maintained  at  levels  considered  necessary  to  cover
potential  losses  associated  with  the  Bank's  current  loan  portfolio.  The
Company's  provision  for loan losses for the first three months of 1998 totaled
$45,000  compared to $30,000 for the three  months  ended March 31,  1997.  This
increase was primarily to provide for potential losses inherent in the Company's
loan portfolio due to its continued growth in net loans outstanding.

     Net loan  charge-offs  for the first  three  months of 1998 were  $4,000 as
compared  to  $99,000  for the  first  three  months  of  1997.  Expressed  as a
percentage of loans (net of unearned  interest),  net charge-offs  were .01% for
the first three  months of 1998  compared to .11% for the  comparable  period of
1997.

     The total of  non-performing  assets and loans past due 90 days or more and
still  accruing  interest  has  remained  relatively  stable  during the past 12
months,  and  management  has no knowledge  that would lead them to believe that
such assets will increase substantially during the remainder of 1998.

</TABLE>

     Total  loans  past  due 90 days or more  plus  non-performing  assets  have
decreased  approximately $112,000 or 24.13% from the same period last year. This
decrease is primarily attributable to vigorous collection activity that resulted
in several  loans being paid to current  status during the first three months of
1998. While there may be some loans or portions of loans identified as potential
problem credits which are not specifically  identified as either  non-accrual or
accruing loans past due 90 or more days, they are considered by management to be
insignificant  to the overall  disclosure  and are  therefore  not  specifically
quantified within the Management's Discussion and Analysis.

     Impaired loans remained insignificant at less than 1% of net loans at March
31, 1998. A loan is impaired when, based on current  information and events,  it
is probable  that all amounts due will not be collected in  accordance  with the
contractual  terms of the specific loan agreement.  Impaired  loans,  other than
certain large groups of smaller-balance  homogeneous loans that are collectively
evaluated for  impairment,  are reported at the present value of expected future
cash flows  discounted  using the loan's  original  effective  interest rate or,
alternatively,  at the loan's  observable  market price, or at the fair value of
the loan's collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.


                                       14

     At March 31, 1998, the allowance for loan losses  totaled  $936,000 or 1.0%
of net loans  compared to $895,000 or 1.0% of net loans at December 31, 1997 and
$815,000 or .9% of net loans at March 31, 1997. The Company performs a quarterly
analysis of the allowance for loan losses. The calculation includes the use of a
moving  average of  charge-off  history to  estimate  reserve  requirements  for
homogeneous loan pools and loans not individually  reviewed on an ongoing basis.
Additionally,  specific  reserves are maintained for all known problem and watch
list loans.  Large  commercial  loans  receive  special  attention and receive a
thorough review twice annually.  Using this methodology,  the most recent review
conducted at March 31, 1998 showed adequate  reserves.  The allocated portion of
the subsidiary bank's allowance for loan losses is established on a loan-by-loan
and  pool-by-pool  basis.  The  unallocated  portion is for inherent losses that
probably exist as of the evaluation  date, but which have not been  specifically
identified  by the  processes  used to establish  the  allocated  portion due to
inherent  imprecision in the objective processes management utilizes to identify
probable and  estimable  losses.  This  unallocated  portion is  subjective  and
requires  judgement based on various  qualitative  factors in the loan portfolio
and the market in which the Company operates. At March 31, 1998 and December 31,
1997,  respectively,  the  unallocated  portion  of the  allowance  approximated
$66,000 or 7.2% and  $67,000 or 7.5% of the total  allowance.  This  unallocated
portion of the allowance was considered  necessary based on consideration of the
known  risk  elements  in  certain  pools of loans  in the  loan  portfolio  and
management's  assessment  of the  economic  environment  in  which  the  Company
operates.

Non-interest Income
- -------------------

     Total other  income  increased  approximately  $34,000 or 35.4% to $130,000
during the first three months of 1998,  as compared to the first three months of
1997. A detailed discussion of non-interest income components follows.

     The most  significant  item  representing the change was service fee income
increased  $32,000  from  approximately  $57,000 to  $89,000 or 56.1%  primarily
resulting  in  a  change  in  fee  structure  and  increased  deposit  activity.
Management  believes the Company will be able to maintain  levels of service fee
income on deposit accounts similar to this throughout the remainder of 1998.

Non-interest Expense
- --------------------

     Total  non-interest  expense  increased  approximately  $32,000  or 3.9% to
$854,000  during the first  three  months of 1998 as compared to the first three
months  of 1997.  This  slight  increase  is a result  of  management's  planned
emphasis on controlling non-interest expense.

     The most  significant  component  impacting  this change was an increase of
approximately  $21,000  or  4.7%  in  salaries  and  employee  benefits,   which
represents  approximately  55%  of  total  non-interest  expense.  This  can  be
attributed to a general increase in salaries.

                               FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total Assets
- ------------

     The  overall   composition   of  the  Company's   assets  has  not  changed
significantly  since year end 1997.  The  Company's  total  average  assets have
decreased  approximately  1.7% or $2.4  million  from  December  31,  1997 total
assets.  The Company's total average  interest  earning  assets,  expressed as a
percentage  of total  average  assets,  remains  high,  although  this ratio has
decreased  slightly to 91.3% at March 31, 1998, as compared to 92.6% at December
31, 1997.

Securities and Federal Funds Sold
- ----------------------------------

     Total securities and Federal funds sold have decreased  approximately 11.1%
from  $33,354,000 at December 31, 1997 to  $29,658,000  at March 31, 1998.  This
decrease is a result of loaning a portion of Federal  funds sold at December 31,
1997 to customers during the first three months of 1998.

Loans
- -----

     Total loans have  remained  relatively  stable since  December 31, 1997, by
increasing less than 5% to $96,211,000.  There has been no significant change in
the components in the composition of total loans.

Deposits
- --------

     Total  deposits have remained  steady at $106.9 million with no significant
fluctuation in the Company's deposit mix.

Borrowings
- ----------

       Short term borrowings have decreased approximately $1,429,000 as a result
of repayment of a matured loan with the Federal Home Loan Bank.

Shareholders' Equity
- ---------------------

      The  Company's  total  shareholders'  equity has  increased  approximately
$379,000 or 2.52% since December 31, 1997. This is the net result of an increase
in retained earnings of $386,000 from net income, and a
decrease of $7,000 in net unrealized gains on
securities  available for sale.  The Company's  average  equity to average total
assets  ratio was 11.1% at March 31, 1998 and 10.7% at December  31,  1997.  The
Company's  subsidiary bank's total risk weighted capital ratio was approximately
14.8% at March 31,1998 and is well within Federal  regulatory minimum guidelines
of 8.0%. The Company is not aware of any pending  regulation  which would have a
material negative impact on its operations or financial condition.

Liquidity
- ---------

      Liquidity in  commercial  banking can be defined as the ability to satisfy
customer loan demand and meet deposit  withdrawals while maximizing net interest
income.  The Company's  primary  sources of funds are deposits and principal and
interest  payments on loans.  Additional  funds are  provided by  maturities  of
securities.  The  Company  uses ratio  analysis  to monitor  the  changes in its
sources and uses of funds so that an adequate  liquidity position is maintained.
At March 31,  1998 the loan to deposit  ratio was 90.0% as  compared to 86.5% at
March 31, 1997.  Cash and due from banks coupled with Federal funds sold totaled
$3,595,000  or 2.6% of  total  assets.  Additionally,  securities  and  interest
bearing  deposits  with  other  banks  maturing  within  one  year  approximated
$3,452,000  or 2.5% of total assets.  Management  believes that the liquidity of
the  Company is  adequate  and  foresees  no demands  or  conditions  that would
adversely affect it.

Year 2000
- ---------

      Except for securities  record  keeping,  the  significant  electronic data
processing  systems of the Company are operated  in-house through software which
is purchased  through  third-party  vendors.  The Company has an ongoing program
designed  to ensure  that its  operational  and  financial  systems  will not be
adversely  affected by year 2000  software  failures  due to  processing  errors
arising  from  calculations  using  the year  2000  date.  In  1997,  management
established  a  committee  to  monitor  the  Company's  plan in  evaluating  its
hardware,  software and operating  systems for Year 2000 issues.  This committee
also monitors  management's  assessment of the potential  impact on  significant
customers,  borrowers,  suppliers and service  organizations.  While  management
believes  it is doing  everything  technologically  possible to assure year 2000
compliance,  it is in part  dependent  upon  systems  and  software  vendors  to
represent  that the products  provided  are, or will be, "Year 2000  Compliant".
Management  is and has been in contact  with its vendors and  believes  that all
upgrades  needed  to be "Year  2000  Compliant"  have  been  affected  or are in
process. Management continues to monitor this situation and take all appropriate
steps necessary to keep its operating systems compliant.

     Although not quantified,  based upon management's  current assessment,  the
costs  expected to be incurred over the next two years on the Company's  program
to redevelop,  replace,  or repair its computer  applications to make them "Year
2000  Compliant" is not expected to be  significant  to the Company's  financial
position or results of operations.  In February 1998, the Company  implemented a
program of testing for compliance.

     Additionally,  during the first quarter of 1998,  the Bank has undergone an
examination  by  its  primary  regulator  as to  their  progress  on  Year  2000
compliance and received a satisfactory rating.
