outstanding for 1995 and calculation of income per share is restated to reflect

ITEM 2.   Management's discussion and analysis of financial conditions and 
          results of operations.

EARNINGS SUMMARY

Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 totalled $162,000, as  
compared with $204,000 in the third quarter of 1995.  On a per share basis, 
third quarter 1996 income was .17 cents compared with .23 cents for 1995.  
Earnings performance was principally affected by an insurance rebate from the 
FDIC of $31.5 thousand during the third quarter of 1995 which did not reoccur  
during the third quarter of 1996.  Additionally, earnings were impacted by 
expenses associated with the opening of the Bank's sixth branch office located 
at 1870 Kempsville Road in Virginia Beach.  Without these influences, net income
for the third quarter ended September 30, 1996 would have equaled $238.8 
thousand compared with $175.5 thousand for the third quarter of 1995, an 
increase of $63.3 thousand or 35.8%  Net income for the nine months ended 
September 30, 1996 totalled $570,000, as compared to $534,000 for the nine 
months ended September 30, 1995.  On a per share basis, net income equalled .61 
cents for 1996 compared to .57 cents for 1995.  These and other changes in 
earnings are discussed in more detail below.


NET INTEREST INCOME

Interest income was $1,965,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1996, a 10.2%
increase over the $1,783,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1995.  For the 
nine months ended September 30, 1996 interest income was $5,713,000 an increase 
of $5,058 or 13.0% over the same period of 1995.  This increase in interest 
income was the result of an increase of $3,162,000 in total loans outstanding 
for the period of September 30, 1995 through September 30, 1996 and an increase 
in the yield on loans as a result of higher loan rates.

Interest expense of $1,086,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 19956 
represents a 11.4% increase when compared to the same period of 1995.  For the 
nine months ended September 30, 1996, interest expense increased to $3,122,000 
or a 17.2% increase when compared to the same period of 1995.  The increase in 
interest expense resulted from an increase of $8,242,000 or 10.3% in interest 
deposits for the period September 30, 1995 to September 30, 1996.

Net interest income was $879,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1996, an
increase of 8.8% from the comparable period in 1995.  For the nine months ended
September 30, 1996, net interest income increased to $2,591,000 compared to
$2,395,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 or a 8.2% increase.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

The provision for loan losses was $35,000 for the first nine months of 1996 as
compared to $52,000 in the first nine months of 1995.  Loan losses for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 totalled $238,000 and recoveries for the same
period equalled $6,000.  For the nine month period ended September 30, 1995 loan
losses were $12,000 and recoveries equalled $7,000.  The lower provision for 
1996 was the result of improvements in the loan portfolio.


OTHER INCOME

Other income for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 was $184,000, a decrease 
of $6,000 from the $190,000 reported for the three months ended September 30, 
1995.  For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, other income was $581,000  
as compared to $546,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 or a 6.4%
increase.

The 1996 results were boosted by a $13,000 increase in the net income associated
with the Bank's Other Real Estate Owned.


OTHER EXPENSES

Other expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 totalled $834,000 as
compared to the third quarter of 1995 of $691,000.  For the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 other expenses increased to $2,335,000 or 9.3% from the
$2,136,000 recorded for the same period of 1995.  Other expenses were impacted 
by expenses associated with the opening of the Bank's sixth branch in the 
Kempsville section of Virginia Beach.


INTEREST SENSITIVITY AND LIQUIDITY

Management attempts to match rate sensitive assets to rate sensitive 
liabilities, by planning and controlling the mix and maturities of these assets 
and liabilities.  The purpose of this asset/liability management is to create 
and maintain a proper relationship between rate sensitive assets and liabilities
and also to provide adequate liquidity.

Liquidity is the ability to meet customers' demand for funds.  These 
requirements are met by the sale or maturity or existing assets, loan payments 
and increases in deposits.
