COMMONWEALTH BANKSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

June 30, 1998

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 three months ended June 30, 1998 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ending December 31, 1998.  For further information, refer to the
consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31,
1997.

NOTE B--EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income by
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the
period.  Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by
the weighted average of common and potential dilutive common equivalent
shares outstanding during the period.  Average shares outstanding for
1998 and calculation of income per share is restated to reflect an 8%
stock dividend paid on April 28, 1998.

<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 June 30, 1998 totalled $272,000,  as
compared with $203,000 in the second quarter of 1997.  On a per share
basis, second quarter 1998 income was 25 cents compared with 19 cents for
1997.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1998 totalled $560,000, as
compared to $361,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997.  On a per
share basis, net income equalled 52 cents for 1998 compared to 33 cents
for 1997.  Total interest for the first six months of 1998 increased to
$4,639,000, a $547,000 or 13.4% increase over the first six months of
1997.  The items are discussed in more detail later in this report.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income was $1,121,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 
an increase of $65,000 over the comparable period in 1997.  For the six
months ended June 30, 1998, net interest income increased to $2,163,000,
an increase of $191,000 over 1997.

Total interest income was $2,333,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1998
an increase of $229,000 over the same period in 1997.  Interest income
for the six months ended June 30, 1998 increase by $547,000 over the same
period of 1997.  This increase is mainly attributable to a 20.0% increase
in total loans when comparing June 30, 1998 to June 30, 1997.

Interest expense of $1,212,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1998
represents a $164,000 increase from the comparable period in 1997.  For
the six months ended June 30, 1998, interest expense increased by
$336,000 over the same period of 1997.  This increase is attributable to
a 10.7% increase in interest bearing deposits when comparing June 30,
1998 to June 30, 1997.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

The provision for loan losses was $50,000 for the first six months of
1998 as compared to $30,000 for the same period of 1997.  Loan charge
offs for the six months ended June 30, 1998 totalled $10,000 and
recoveries for the same period totalled $2,000.  At June 30, 1998, Bank
of the Commonwealth had a total allowance for loan losses of $1,011,000
or 1.2% of total loans.

OTHER INCOME

Other income for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 was $263,000, an
increase of $94,000 from the $169,000 reported for the three months ended
June 30, 1997.  For the six months ended June 30, 1998, other income was
$558,000 as compared to $308,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997. 
$209,000 of this increase is attributable to an increase in service
charges on deposit accounts.

OTHER EXPENSES

Other expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 totalled $972,000, an
increase of $68,000 or 7.5% over the $904,000 recorded during the quarter
ended June 30, 1997.  For the six months ended June 30, 1998 other
expenses increased to $1,909,000 from the $1,766,000 recorded for the
same period of 1997.

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.

NONPERFORMING ASSETS

The Bank's nonperforming assets consisted of the following:

</TABLE>

CAPITAL POSITION

Shareholder's Equity for the Corporation increased to $11,017,000 from
$10,531,000 or 4.6% from December 31, 1997 to June 30, 1998. 
Shareholders' Equity for June 30, 1998 reflects a $64,000 net unrealized
loss on securities available for sale in accordance with FASB 115, as
compared to an $8,000 net unrealized gain as of December 31, 1997.

Bank Holding Companies are required to meet a 7.3% risk-based capital
standard.  The Corporation's risk based capital was 13.8% as of June 30,
1998.

STOCK DIVIDEND

The Board of Directors, at their February 1998 meeting voted to declare
an eight percent stock dividend payable on the Company's common shares
for stockholders of record as of March 31, 1998, on April 28, 1998. 
Fractional shares were paid in cash, based on the book value of a whole
share at December 31, 1997 of $10.49.

YEAR 2000 ISSUE

Many computer systems may experience problems handling dates into and
beyond the year 1999 and therefore need to be modified prior to the year
2000 in order to remain functional.  The corporation has been taking
actions to ensure the internal readiness of its hardware, software and
processes for century date compliance.  The Corporation does not believe
that the cost of these actions will have material adverse effect on the
Corporation's results of operations or financial condition.  The
Corporation is also assessing the possible effects on its operations of
the year 2000 readiness of its key vendors and deposit and loan
customers.  Testing of mission-critical applications has begun and is
expected to be substantially complete by December 1998.  The Board of
Directors is provided monthly reports on the status of the Corporation's
year 2000 readiness.

SUMMARY

As of June 30, 1998, 66.9% of the Bank's loan portfolio consists of
commercial loans which are considered to provide higher yields and also
generally carry a greater risk.  It should be noted that 73.4% of these
commercial loans are collateralized with real estate, and accordingly do
not represent an unfavorable risk.  At June 30, 1998, 72.5% 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.
