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, 1998 were $604
million which is a decrease of $12.4 million or 2.0% from
December 31, 1997.  The net decrease is due to a $4.9
million decrease in total loans receivable and an $11.2
million decrease in mortgage-backed and related securities. 

The mix of the Company's loans receivable continues to shift
away from 1-4 family residential loans and toward the
Company's other loan categories as shown in the following
table (dollars in thousands):

</TABLE>

The net decreases in residential mortgage loans noted above
were caused by increased prepayments and declining
originations of such loans due to a flat yield curve and
declining interest rates.  This interest rate environment
results in increased prepayments of the Company's
residential mortgage loans as borrowers seek to refinance
their loans at lower fixed rates, thus shifting the
origination of new loans away from the Company's portfolio
loan products which are shorter term and variable rate
loans.  The Company sells all of its longer term, fixed rate
loans in the secondary market.

The overall increase in the Company's other loan categories
(collectively, non-residential) is the direct result of the
Company's emphasis on originating such loans.

The decrease in the Bank's mortgage-backed and related
securities portfolio at June 30, 1998 as compared to
December 31,1997 was due to the increased prepayments of the
underlying loans combined with management's decision not to
purchase or replace such securities at this time.  

LIABILITIES

Total liabilities decreased by $13.6 million or 2.4% to $558
million during the first six months of 1998.  This net
decrease is mainly due to a $9.1 million decrease in
advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank and a $7.3 million
decrease in securities sold under agreements to repurchase. 
These decreases were partially offset by a $1.9 million
increase in deposits.  

Management's objective is to grow the Hampton Roads retail
deposit base and de-emphasize other deposits and brokered
deposits.  Components of total deposits at the periods
indicated are as follows (in thousands):

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 $7.1 million at
June 30, 1998 and $6.9 million, at December 31, 1997.

The delinquent loan component of non-performing assets was
$4.3 million, $4.6 million, and $3.7 million, at June 30,
1998, December 31, 1997 and June 30, 1997, respectively. 
The delinquent loans were substantially secured by single-
family residential properties at June 30, 1998.

Allowances for possible losses on loans and foreclosed real
estate are maintained by the Bank.  The following table sets
forth the activity in the Bank's allowance for loan losses

OTHER INCOME

Other income during the second quarter of 1998 increased by
$669,000 or 75.2% compared with the second quarter of 1997
due to large increases in retail banking fees and gains on
sales of loans.  The increased retail banking fees resulted
primarily from the fees associated with an increased number
of checking accounts, additional ATM's in service during the
1998 quarter compared to 1997, and an increase in the second
quarter of 1998 of the fee for non-customer ATM transactions
at Company owned ATM's.

In addition, gains on sales of loans increased substantially
to $720,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1998 as
compared to $263,000 for the same period of 1997.  The
increase in gain on sale is directly related to the increase
in sales (fundings) during the period.  The table below
compares certain mortgage banking information for the
quarter ended June 30, 1998 to the same period in 1997 (in
thousands):

OTHER EXPENSES

Other expenses increased $836,000 or 21.1% during the second
quarter of 1998 as compared to the same period in 1997. 
This increase was primarily due to a $731,000 combined net
increase in salary, benefits and net occupancy expense which
is the result of the cost incurred to operate and staff two
additional retail banking offices opened in the second
quarter of 1998, the cost of additional ATM's, and the cost
of additional loan officers and support staff added
throughout the second half of 1997 and the first half of
1998 in support of the Company's objective of increasing
local, non-residential loan portfolios.

In addition, the Company closed one branch during June 1998. 
As a result of these initiatives, the Company operates 16
branches at June 30, 1998 versus 15 a year earlier, has 38
ATM's in service versus 21 a year earlier, and has 253
employees versus 205 at June 30, 1997.

OTHER INCOME 

Other income during the first six months of 1998 increased
by $1,015,000 or 60.5% compared with the first six months of
1997 due to large increases in retail banking fees and gains
on sales of loans.  The increased retail banking fees
resulted primarily from the fees associated with an
increased number of checking accounts, additional ATM's in
service during the first six months of 1998 compared to
1997, and an increase in the second quarter of 1998 of the
fee, begun during the second quarter of 1997, for non-
customer ATM transactions at Company owned ATM's.

In addition, gains on sales of loans increased substantially
to $1,181,000 for the first six months of 1998 as compared
to $515,000 for the same period of 1997.  The increase in
gain on sale is directly related to the increase in sales
(fundings) during the period.  The table below compares
certain mortgage banking information for the six months
ended June 30, 1998 to the same period in 1997 (in

OTHER EXPENSES

Other expenses increased $1,269,000 or 16.1% during the
first six months of 1998 as compared to the same period in
1997.  This increase was primarily due to a $1,210,000
combined net increase in salary, benefits and net occupancy
expense which is the result of the cost incurred to operate
and staff two additional retail banking offices opened in
the second quarter of 1998, the cost of additional ATM's,
and the cost of additional loan officers and support staff
added throughout the second half of 1997 and the first half
of 1998 in support of the Company's objective of increasing
local, non-residential loan portfolios.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

LIQUIDITY

There has been no material adverse changes during the six
months ended June 30, 1998 in the ability of the Company to
fund its operations.  The Office of Thrift Supervision
("OTS") has established minimum liquidity requirements for
savings associations.  Current regulations require a
liquidity level of at least 4%.  The Bank's liquidity ratio
at June 30, 1998 was 5.68% and exceeded 4% at each
measurement date during the first six months of 1998.

REGULATORY CAPITAL STANDARDS

The Company is in compliance with all of its regulatory
capital requirements at June 30, 1998.

MARKET RISK

Management of the Company believes that during the six
months ended June 30, 1998 there has not been a material
adverse change in the market risk, defined as risk of loss
arising from changes in market rates and prices of the
Company.

YEAR 2000

The Company's Year 2000 effort is proceeding in accordance
with a written plan which has been adopted by the Company's
Board of Directors.  Progress reports are provided to the
Board at least quarterly.

The Company's plan is divided into four broad areas of
concern: hardware, software, service providers and
customers.  Year 2000 issues being addressed in each of
these areas include both information technology related and
non-information technology related.

Overall, the Company has identified specific issues related
to each broad area of concern and has satisfactorily
completed assessment tasks to be performed with respect to
each group as follows:

</TABLE>

At June 30, 1998 the Company expected to be near the end of
the assessment phase of its plan and estimates that 95% of
the tasks to be accomplished had been completed.  There are
no material, incomplete tasks pursuant to the Company's
plan.

Activities scheduled for the third quarter include the
majority of our own independent testing to be performed and
further progress on the items noted above.  Also scheduled
is a determination of the level of testing to be performed
on the Company's main transaction processing system which is
provided by a third party at the third party's data center;
the testing of transactions processed by the data center may
be less than 100% because numerous other clients of the
service provider and the OTS use or could potentially be
testing many of the same transactions, and a sharing
arrangement would be cost beneficial to all parties.

The Company presently estimates that it will spend $350,000,
approximately 30% of which will be to replace outdated
computers which have been fully depreciated.  The remainder
of the estimated cost which includes salary of staff
temporarily assigned to the project will be expensed as
incurred.  Management of the Company expects its Year 2000
remediation efforts to be largely complete by June 30, 1999.

IMPACT OF FUTURE ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 (the
"Statement") "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities" was issued during June 1998.

This Statement establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments, including certain
derivative instruments embedded in other contracts,
(collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging
activities.  It requires that an entity recognize all
derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement
of financial position and measure those instruments at fair
value.  If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be
specifically designated as (a) a hedge of the exposure to 

<Page 14>

changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability
or an unrecognized firm commitment, (b) a hedge of the
exposure to variable cash flows of a forecasted transaction,
or (c) a hedge of the foreign currency exposure of a net
investment in a foreign operation, an unrecognized firm
commitment, an available-for-sale security, or a foreign-
currency-denominated forecasted transaction.

The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative
(that is, gains and losses) depends on the intended use of
the derivative and the resulting designation.

Under this Statement, an entity that elects to apply hedge
accounting is required to establish at the inception of the
hedge the method it will use for assessing the effectiveness
of the hedging derivative and the measurement approach for
determining the ineffective aspect of the hedge.  Those
methods must be consistent with the entity's approach to
managing risk.

This Statement generally precludes designating a
nonderivative financial instrument as a hedge of an asset,
liability, unrecognized firm commitment, or forecasted
transaction. 

This Statement is effective for all fiscal quarters of
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999.  Initial
application of this Statement should be as of the beginning
of an entity's fiscal quarter; on that date, hedging
relationships must be designated anew and documented
pursuant to the provisions of this Statement.  Earlier
application of all of the provisions of this Statement is
encouraged, but it is permitted only as of the beginning of
any fiscal quarter that begins after issuance of this
Statement.  This Statement should not be applied
retroactively to financial statements of prior periods.

Management is presently unsure when the Statement will be
adopted; however, it will be no later than January 1, 2000. 
This Statement is not expected to have a material effect on
the Company's financial condition or results of operations.
