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 Company.  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 
        $745,000 at June 30, 1997.  Deferred loan fees at June
        30, 1997 amounted to $1,454,000.

3.      The results of operations for the three and six months 
        ended June 30, 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 $30,132,000,
        the Bank had outstanding commitments to purchase or
        originate $25,127,000 in loans and investment securities
        at June 30, 1997.  The Company also had outstanding
        commitments to sell $15,306,000  in loans and securities
        at June 30, 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 4,972,026 and 4,961,013 at June
        30, 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.

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


FINANCIAL CONDITION

ASSETS

The Company's total assets at June 30, 1997 were $618 million
which is an increase of $11.7 million or 1.93% from December
31, 1996.  This increase is mainly due to the net effect of a
$22.1 million increase in loans receivable, a $1.5 million
increase in other real estate owned, and a $1.1 million
increase in other assets.  These increases were partially
offset by a $12.1 million decrease in the Bank's securities
portfolios and a $.9 million net decrease in cash, federal
funds sold and interest-bearing deposits.  The Bank's core
capital ratio increased to 6.8% at June 30, 1997 from 6.6% at
December 31, 1996.

The Company's loan portfolio increased $22.1 million at June
30, 1997, as compared to December 31, 1996, primarily due to
increases in the Bank's construction ($17.5        million),
commercial ($5.9 million), consumer ($2.7 million) and land
acquisition ($1.0 million) portfolios.  The Bank's held-for-
sale portfolio also increased $1.7 million.  In addition, the
Bank's commercial real estate and residential portfolios
decreased $6.7 million as compared to December 31, 1996 due,
in part, to unexpected prepayments of approximately $7.8
million in commercial real estate loans.  

The $1.5 million increase in foreclosed real estate resulted
from the foreclosure of a local apartment complex ($609,000)
along with the foreclosure on several residential properties
($900,000).

The decrease of $12.1 million in the Bank's securities
portfolios at June 30, 1997 as compared to December 31, 1996
was due to the normal repayment and maturity of securities. 
The Bank collected $12.8 million in principal on mortgage-
backed and related securities and $5.6 million from maturities
of fixed rate investment securities.  These reductions were
offset by the purchase of $4.1 million in mortgage-backed and
related securities and  $2.3 million of investment securities. 


LIABILITIES

Total liabilities increased by $10.2 million or 1.8% to $576
million during the first six months of 1997.  This increase is
mainly due to a $36.7 million increase in advances from the
Federal Home Loan Bank, a $10.7 million increase in securities
sold under agreements to repurchase, and a $.5 million
increase in advance payments by borrowers for taxes and
insurance.  These increases were partially offset by a $36.6
million decrease in deposits and a $1.1 million decrease in
other liabilities associated with recurring fluctuations in
the timing of payment for certain accrued items.   The $36.6
million decrease in deposits is in keeping with management's
emphasis of focusing on the local retail deposit base.  Of the
$36.6 million decrease in deposits since December 1996, $36.2
million occurred in brokered and other out-of-area deposits. 
These deposits were replaced mainly by the increase in Federal 
Home Loan Bank advances.

<PAGE 8>

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 $7.2 million at June 30, 1997
and $6.2 million, at December 31, 1996.

The delinquent loan component of non-performing assets was
$3.7 million, $4.1 million, and $3.4 million, at June 30,
1997, December 31, 1996 and June 30, 1996, respectively.  The
delinquent loans were substantially secured by single-family
residential properties at June 30, 1997.

During the first six months of 1997, there were no charges to
the foreclosed real estate allowance.  There were $1,456,000
of charges during the same period in 1996 of which $1,368,000
related to a single strip shopping center property sold in
June 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 $4.4 million and $.2 million, respectively at June 30,
1997.  At June 30, 1997, the Bank's allowance for loan losses
was $4.4 million or .94% of total loans receivable held for
investment.  

The following table sets forth the Bank's loan receivable and
foreclosed real estate  allowance activity for the periods
indicated:

NET OPERATING RESULTS

For the three months ended June 30, 1997, the Company earned
$987,000 or $.20 per share as compared to $625,000 or $.13 per
share for the same period in 1996.  Pretax earnings increased
by $624,000 during the second quarter of 1997 as compared to
the year earlier period mainly due to a $595,000 increase in
net interest income.

OTHER INCOME

Other income during the second quarter of 1997, increased by
$61,000 or 7.4% compared with the second quarter of 1996
largely due to increased retail banking fees of $141,000,
partially offset by a $59,000 decrease in gains on foreclosed
real estate.  The increased retail banking resulted primarily
from the fees associated with an increased number of checking
accounts and the initiation of surcharge fees on foreign ATM
transactions during the quarter ended June 30, 1997.   

In addition, gains on sales of loans increased slightly to
$263,000 for the first three months of 1997 as compared to
$251,000 for the same period of 1996.  The table below
compares the residential lending production during the quarter
ended June 30, 1997 to the same period in 1996 (in thousands):

OTHER EXPENSES

Other expenses, exclusive of the provision for losses on
foreclosed real estate, increased $156,000 or 4.1% during the
second quarter of 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996. 
This increase was primarily due to a $257,000 net increase in
salary, benefits and occupancy expense, and a $129,000
increase in other expenses.  These increases were offset by a
$220,000 reduction in federal deposit insurance premiums.  The
net increase in salary, employee benefits and occupancy of
$257,000 is the result of the cost incurred to operate and
staff three additional retail banking offices opened in the
second half of 1996 and the first quarter of 1997.  The second
quarter of 1997 benefitted from a $220,000 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 1996 and a lower assessment base resulting from decreased
amounts of insured deposits. 
During the second quarter of 1997, the Company recorded no
provision for possible losses on foreclosed real estate
compared with a $124,000 provision for the second quarter of
1996.

RESULTS OF OPERATION:  Six months Ended June 30, 1997 and 1996

NET OPERATING RESULTS

For the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company earned
$1,882,000 or $0.38 per share as compared to $1,172,000 or
$0.24 per share for the same period in 1996.  Pretax earnings
increased by $1,167,000 during the six month period as
compared to the same period in 1996 mainly due to a $1,325,000
increase in net interest income.


NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income during the first six months of 1997
increased by 16.3% to $9,454,000 as compared to $8,129,000
during the same period of 1996.  The net interest margin for
the six months ended June 30, 1997 was 3.17% as compared to
2.63% for the same period in 1996.

OTHER INCOME 

Other income during the first six months of 1997, decreased by
$103,000 compared with the same period of 1996 largely due to
decreases in gain on sales of loans of $163,000 and gains on 
sales of foreclosed real estate of $56,000.  Mortgage loan
servicing fees and other income, consisting principally of
loan related fees, decreased a total of $113,000 as compared
to the first six months of 1996.  These decreases were partially
offset by an increase in retail banking fees of $229,000.  Gains 
on sales of loans were $515,000 during the first six months of 
1997 as compared to $678,000 during the same period in 1996.  
The table below compares the residential lending production 
during the six month period ended June 30, 1997 as compared 
to the same period in 1996 (in thousands):

Ending Pipeline                 21,872            41,281            (19,409)


Gains on sales of foreclosed property decreased $56,000 to
$40,000 for the first six months of 1997 as compared to 1996. 
The $229,000 increase in retail banking fees was due primarily
to the fees associated with an increased number of checking
accounts and the initiation of surcharge fees on foreign ATM
transactions in second quarter of 1997.

OTHER EXPENSE

Other expenses, exclusive of the provision for losses on
foreclosed real estate, increased by $404,000 or 5.4% during
the six month period ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the
same period in 1996.  The increase was primarily due to
increases in salary, employee benefits and occupancy expenses
of $655,000 partially offset by a decrease of $450,000 in
federal deposit insurance premiums.  The increase in salary,
employee benefits, and net occupancy expense is mainly the net
result of the cost incurred to operate and staff three
additional retail banking offices opened in the second half of
1996 and the first quarter of 1997.  In addition, the first
six months of 1997 includes approximately $194,000 in

<PAGE 12>

advertising expense associated with the change in the name of
the Bank.  The first six months of 1997 benefitted from a
$450,000 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 1996 and a lower assessment base
resulting from decreased amounts of insured deposits.

During the first six months of 1997, the Company recorded no
provision for possible losses on foreclosed real estate
compared with a $424,000 provision for the first six months of
1996.

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 June 30, 1997
was 6.46% and exceeded 5% at each measurement date during the
first six months of 1997.

REGULATORY CAPITAL STANDARDS

The OTS has established the regulatory capital requirements
for savings institutions.  The following table sets forth the
capital position of the Bank in accordance with the
requirements.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
128, "Earnings Per Share" (SFAS 128), which is required to be
adopted on December 31, 1997.  At that time, the Company will
be required to change the method currently being used to
compute earnings per share and to restate all prior periods. 
Under the requirements of SFAS 128, the primary earnings per
share calculation will be replaced with a basic earnings per
share calculation, which will exclude any dilutive effect of
outstanding common stock options.  Also, the calculation for
fully diluted earnings per share will be replaced with
"diluted" earnings per share, whose calculation will include
the effect of dilutive outstanding common stock options.  The
impact of calculating basic earnings per share is not expected
to result in an increase or decrease in the primary earnings
(loss) per share reported in each of the quarters ended March
31, 1996, June 30, 1996, March 31, 1997 and June 30, 1997. 
The impact of SFAS 128 on the calculation of diluted earnings
per share is expected to result in a $0.01 per share
decrease in the earnings per share reported for each of the 
four quarters noted in the immediately preceding sentence.
