       VIRGINIA BEACH FEDERAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION
   NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS






1.    The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
      statements are prepared in accordance with the
      instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the
      disclosures and footnotes required by generally accepted
      accounting principles for complete financial statements. 
      In the opinion of the management of Virginia Beach
      Federal Financial Corporation (the "Company") the
      financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting
      of only normal recurring accruals, necessary to present
      fairly the financial position of the Corporation.  The
      consolidated financial statements include the accounts
      of the Company and First Coastal Bank (the "Bank") and
      its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

      The Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of
      the Annual Report on Form  10-K for the fiscal year
      ended December 31, 1996 should be read in conjunction
      with this Form 10-Q.

2.    Net unamortized premiums on loans and mortgage-backed
      securities amounted to $675,000 at March 31, 1997. 
      Deferred loan fees at March 31, 1997 amounted to
      $1,319,000.

3.    The results of operations for the three months ended
      March 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the
      results to be expected for the entire fiscal year or any
      other period.

4.    In addition to undisbursed loan funds of $31,184,000,
      the Bank had outstanding commitments to purchase or
      originate $28,454,000 in loans and investment securities
      at March 31, 1997.  The Company also had outstanding
      commitments to sell $12,558,000 in loans and securities
      at March 31, 1997.

5.    Earnings per share have been computed based on the
      weighted average shares outstanding.  The weighted
      average number of shares used in the computation of
      earnings per share was 4,970,890 and 4,959,175 at March
      31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  The potential issuance
      of shares under the Company's stock option plan does not
      have a material dilutive effect on earnings per share.

       FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


ITEM II.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
          CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


FINANCIAL CONDITION

ASSETS

The Company's total assets at March 31, 1997 were $607 million
which is an increase of $1.2 million or .20% from December 31,
1996.  This increase is mainly due to the net effect of a $8.6
million increase in loans receivable and a $4.1 million
increase in cash, federal funds sold, and interest-bearing
deposits.  These increases were partially off-set by a $10.9
million decrease in the Bank's securities portfolios and a $.5
million decrease in other assets.  The Bank's core capital
ratio increased to 6.7% at March 31, 1997 from 6.6% at
December 31, 1996.

The Company's loan portfolio increased $8.6 million at March
31, 1997, as compared to December 31, 1996, primarily due to
increases in the Bank's construction ($7.6 million),
commercial ($2.6 million), consumer ($1.6 million) and
residential ($1.2 million) portfolios.  In addition, the
Bank's commercial real estate and land acquisition portfolios
decreased $4.4 million as compared to December 31, 1996.

The decrease of $10.9 million in the Bank's securities
portfolios at March 31, 1997 as compared to December 31, 1996
was due to the normal repayment and maturity of securities. 
The Bank collected $6.9 million in principal on mortgage-
backed and related securities and $4.6 million from maturities
of fixed rate investment securities.  These reductions were
offset by the purchase of a $1.0 million fixed rate U.S.
Treasury security.  In accordance with Financial Accounting
Standards No. 115 ("FASB115"), the Company has recorded a
reduction to shareholders' equity of $320,000 to reflect a
decrease in the market value of securities classified as
available-for-sale.


NON-PERFORMING ASSETS

Non-performing assets of the Bank comprise delinquent loans on
which income accrual has ceased or is being fully reserved,
and property acquired through foreclosure or repossession. 
Non-performing assets totaled $6.4 million at March 31, 1997
and $6.2 million, at December 31, 1996.

The delinquent loan component of non-performing assets was
$4.2 million, $4.1 million, and $4.2 million, at March 31,
1997, December 31, 1996 and March 31, 1996, respectively.  The
delinquent loans were substantially secured by single-family
residential properties at March 31, 1997.

During the first quarter of 1997, there were no charges to the
foreclosed real estate allowance.  There were $300,000 of
charges during the same period in 1996.  

The allowance for possible loan losses is maintained for
possible but as yet unidentified loan losses.  Allowances for
possible losses on loans and foreclosed real estate are
maintained by the Bank when the collectability of loans is
impaired and the value of the security property has declined
below the outstanding principal balance of the related loan,
or the carrying value of foreclosed real estate has been
impaired.  The allowances for possible losses on loans
receivable held-for-investment and foreclosed real estate
totaled $4.5 million and $.2 million, respectively at March
31, 1997.  At March 31, 1997, the Bank's allowance for loan
losses was $4.5 million or 0.97% of total loans receivable
held for investment.

Other income during the first quarter of 1997, decreased by
$164,000 or 17.2% compared with the first quarter of 1996
largely due to reduced loan sales activity.  The reduced loan
sales resulted from a reduction during the fourth quarter of
1995 in the Company's mortgage origination activities.  Gains
on sales of loans were $252,000 for the first three months of
1997 as compared to $427,000 for the same period of 1996.  The
table below compares the residential lending production during
the quarter ended March 31, 1997 to the same period in 1996
(in thousands):


                        For the Quarter Ended
                              March 31,                    
                        -------------------------------
                                               Increase 
                        1997         1996     (Decrease)
                        -------------------------------
                              
Applications           $40,074    $49,620      $ (9,546)
Closings                26,608     29,729        (3,121)
Fundings                23,770     33,334        (9,564)
Ending Pipeline         30,327     43,688       (13,361)



The balance of other income during the quarter ended March
31, 1997 of $535,000 is comparable to the $524,000 earned
during the same period in 1996.  However, service charges on
retail deposit accounts have increased by $88,000 or 49.4% as
compared to the 1996 quarter.  This increase was substantially
off-set by a reduction of $13,000 in mortgage loan servicing
fees as a result of the normal reduction in the balance of
loans serviced for others through normal repayments and
prepayments.

OTHER EXPENSE

Other expenses, exclusive of the provision for losses on
foreclosed real estate, increased $248,000 or 6.8% during the
first quarter of 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996. 
The increase in salary and employee benefits of $304,000 and
the increase in net occupancy expense of $94,000 are the
result of the cost incurred to staff three additional retail
banking offices opened in the second half of 1996 and the
first quarter of 1997.  In addition, the first quarter of 1997
includes approximately $194,000 in advertising expense
associated with the change in the name of the Bank.  During
the first three months of 1997, the Company recorded no
provision for possible losses on foreclosed real estate
compared with a $300,000 provision for the first three months
of 1996.

The first quarter of 1997 also benefitted from a $230,000
reduction in federal deposit insurance premiums as compared to
the same period in 1996.  This decrease is due to the combined
effect of a 16.6 basis point reduction in the premium rate as
a result of the special SAIF assessment during the third
quarter of 1995 and a lower assessment base resulting from
decreased amounts of brokered deposits. 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

LIQUIDITY

   The Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") has established
minimum liquidity requirements for savings associations. 
These regulations provide, in part, that members of the
Federal Home Loan Bank System maintain daily average balances
of liquid assets equal to a certain percentage of net
withdrawable deposits and current borrowings (payable in one
year or less).  Current regulations require a liquidity level
of at least 5%.  The Bank's liquidity ratio at March 31, 1997
was 5.89% and exceeded 5% at each measurement date during the
first three months of 1997.
