Essex Bancorp, Inc.

ITEM 2 - ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

On July 25, 1996, Essex Savings Bank, F.S.B. (the "Bank"), the wholly-owned 
thrift subsidiary of Essex Bancorp, Inc. (the "Registrant"), completed the 
sale of the deposits and related assets of its Wilmington, Raleigh and 
Greensboro, North Carolina branches (the "Branches") to Centura Bank, Inc. 
("Centura") pursuant to the Branch Purchase and Deposit Assumption Agreement 
dated April 11, 1996.

Deposits and related accrued interest assumed by Centura approximated $71.3 
million and deposit loans and related accrued interest acquired by Centura 
approximated $72,000.  In connection with the sale of the Branches, the Bank 
recognized a $700,000 gain on the sale of deposits, net of transaction costs. 
The sale of the Branches required cash of $70.5 million, which was funded by 
the sale of fixed-rate and adjustable-rate first mortgage loans and related 
accrued interest with a carrying value approximating $62.2 million, as well 
as the utilization of a portion of the Bank's excess liquidity.

Prior to the sale, there was no material relationship between the Registrant 
or the Bank and Centura, nor between Centura and any affiliate, director, or 
officer of the Registrant or the Bank, or any associate of any such director 
or officer.


ITEM 7 - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS

The unaudited pro forma financial statements consist of an unaudited pro 
forma consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 1996 and unaudited pro forma

financial statements are presented for information purposes only and are not 
necessarily indicative of the results which would actually have occurred if

obtained in the future.

The unaudited pro forma financial statements include the historical financial 
statements of the Registrant, pro forma adjustments directly attributable to 
the sale of the Branches and pro forma results.  The unaudited pro forma

statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 1995 and for the six 
months ended June 30, 1996 assume the sale of the Branches occurred on

                         NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA
                     CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS
                   FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND
                    FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996


The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the year 
ended December 31, 1995 and for the six months ended June 30, 1996 assume the 
sale of the Branches occurred on January 1, 1995 and present loss from 
continuing operations before nonrecurring charges or credits directly 
attributable to the sale of the Branches.  The pro forma adjustments present 
the elimination of actual interest expense on deposits at the Branches, 
actual service charges and fees on those deposits and actual operating 
expenses directly associated with the Branches included in the Registrant's 
historical consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 
31, 1995 and for the six months ended June 30, 1996.  The pro forma 
adjustments also present the elimination of interest income on loans sold and 
cash equivalents liquidated to fund the sale of deposits at their January 1, 
1995 levels.  The loan portfolios assumed to be sold consist primarily of 
loans serviced by others.  Interest income and accretion of discount on these 
portfolios are eliminated in their entirety.  The elimination of interest 
income on the remaining loans and cash equivalents is based on the average 
yields of comparable assets for the year ended December 31, 1995 and for the 
six months ended June 30, 1996.

(A)  Elimination of interest income and accretion of discount on loan 
     portfolios sold to partially fund the sale of the Branches.

(B)  Elimination of interest income on cash equivalents liquidated to 
     partially fund the sale of the Branches.

(C)  Elimination of interest expense on deposits assumed by Centura.

(D)  Elimination of service charges and fees associated with deposit accounts 
     assumed by Centura.

(E)  Elimination of the nonrecurring impact of the sale of loans to partially 
     fund the sale of the Branches, which was included in the historical 
     statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1996.

(F)  Elimination of operating expenses directly associated with the Branches.

(G)  Loss per share was determined by dividing loss from continuing 
     operations by the weighted average number of shares of common stock 
     outstanding. Because the inclusion of common stock equivalents would 
     have an anti-dilutive effect on the primary loss per share calculation, 
     effectively decreasing the loss per share, they are not considered in 
     the computation.
