NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
SEPTEMBER 30, 1997
NOTE A -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles for interim financial information
and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of
normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of
the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31,
1997. For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1996.
NOTE B -- EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income by
the average number of common shares outstanding during the
period. Average shares outstanding for 1996 and calculation of
income per share is restated to reflect a 6% stock dividend paid
on April 30, 1997.
<PAGE>
PART I
ITEM 2. Management's discussion and analysis of financial
conditions and results of operations.
EARNINGS SUMMARY
Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 totalled
$260,000, as compared with $162,000 in the third quarter of 1996.
On a per share basis, third quarter 1997 income was 26 cents
compared with 16 cents for 1996.
Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 totalled
$621,000, as compared to $570,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996. On a per share basis, net income equalled 62
cents for the first nine months 1997 compared to 57 cents for the
same period in 1996. Net income for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 was impacted by a $323,000 increase in other
expense, which is discussed in more detail below.
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income was $1,056,000 for the quarter ended
September 30, 1997, an increase of $177,000 or 20.1% over the
comparable period in 1996. For the nine months ended September
30, 1997, net interest income increased to $3,058,000, an
increase of $467,000 over the same period in 1996.
Total interest income was $2,187,000 for the quarter ended
September 30, 1997,an increase of $222,000 over the same period
of 1996. Interest income for the nine months ended September 30,
1997 increased $566,000 over the same period of 1996. The total
interest income was favorably impacted by an increase in
investment security income of $64,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1997, when compared to the same period of 1996;
and, an increase of $360,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 1997, as compared to the same period of 1996. This increase
is attributable mainly to an increase of $5,390,000 in the
investment portfolio, when comparing the average investment
portfolio for year to date September 30, 1997 to the same period
of 1996. Loan income also increased for the three months and
nine months ended September 30, 1997, $201,000 and $396,000
respectively, as compared to the same period of 1996.
This increase was the result of a 11% increase in average loans
outstanding when comparing September 30, 1997 to September 30,
1996.
Interest expense of $1,131,000 for the quarter ended Sept 30,
1997 represents a $45,000 increase from the comparable period in
1996. For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, interest
expense increased by $99,000 over the same period of 1996.
The increase in interest expense was impacted by an increase of
$4,116,000 in average interest deposits for the period September
30, 1997 compared to September 30, 1996.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
The provision for loan losses was $50,000 for the first nine
months of 1997 compared to $35,000 for the same period of 1996.
Loan charge offs for the nine months ended September 30, 1997
totalled $28,000 and recoveries for the same period totaled
$16,000.
OTHER INCOME
Other income for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 was
$236,000, an increase of $52,000 from the $184,000 reported for
the three months ended September 30, 1996. For the nine months
ended September 30, 1997, other income was $544,000 as compared
to $581,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The
Bank experienced a $71,000 increase in service charge income when
comparing September 30, 1997 to September 30, 1996. The majority
of this increase is attributed to a $2,353,000 or 8.9% increase
in Demand Deposit Accounts. This increase in service charge
income was partially offset by a $20,000 additional loss on Other
Real Estate Owned during the first nine months of 1997 when
compared to the like period of 1996. An additional $107,000 of
the decrease is attributable to a decrease in income for rent
on real estate acquired in the settlement of loans. In November
1996, the Bank sold a parcel of property that was fully leased.
OTHER EXPENSES
Other expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 totalled
$892,000 an increase of $58,000 or 7.0% over the $834,000
recorded during the quarter ended September 30, 1996. For the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 other expenses increased to
$2,658,000 from the $2,335,000 recorded for the same period of
1996. Other expense was impacted by $89,000 in expenses
associated with our Kempsville Branch that opened in July 1996.
An additional $78,000 increase was attributable to the operation
of the Bank's Trust Department that was established during the
fourth quarter on 1996.
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 of existing assets, loan payments and
increases in deposits.

from $9,568,000 or 6.92% from December 31, 1996 to September 30,
1997. Shareholders' Equity for September 30, 1997 reflects a
$15,000 unrealized gain on securities available for sale in
accordance with FASB115, as compared to a $28,000 loss as of
December 31, 1996. Bank Holding Companies are required to
meet a 7.25% risk-based capital standard. The Corporations's
risk based capital was 13.7% as of September 30, 1997.
STOCK DIVIDEND
The Board of Directors, at their February 1997 meeting voted to
declare a six percent stock dividend payable on the Company's
common shares for stockholders of record as of March 31, 1997, on
April 30, 1997. Fractional shares were paid in cash, based on
the book value of a whole share at December 31, 1996 of $10.10.
SUMMARY
As of September 30, 1997 65.1% of the Bank's loan portfolio
consists of commercial loans which are considered to provide
higher yields, but also generally carry a greater risk. It
should be noted that 73.3% of these commercial loans are
collateralized with real estate, and accordingly do not
represent an unfavorable risk. At September 30, 1997, 72.9% of
the Bank's total loan portfolio consists of loans collateralized
with real estate. The Bank's commitment is to maintain the
Corporation's strengths in the markets it serves during difficult
economic cycles, and to act resourcefully when confronted with
new challenges.
