ITEM 2 - ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS
On September 26, 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 Norfolk,
Portsmouth, Hampton and Newport News, Virginia branches (the "Branches") to
CENIT Bank, FSB ("CENIT") pursuant to the Branch Purchase and Deposit
Assumption Agreement (the "Agreement") dated July 2, 1996 (the "CENIT
transaction").
Deposits and related accrued interest assumed by CENIT approximated $63
million and deposit loans and related accrued interest acquired by CENIT
approximated $58,000. In connection with the sale of the Branches, the Bank
recognized (i) a $195,000 gain on the sale of deposits, net of transaction
costs and the write-off of goodwill and the unamortized premium on deposits
associated with the Branches and (ii) a $152,000 gain on the sale of premises
and equipment to CENIT. The sale of the Branches required cash of
approximately $61 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 $52 million, as well as the utilization of a
portion of the Bank's excess liquidity. The Bank recognized a net loss
approximating $817,000 on the sale of the loans.
Prior to the sale, there was no material relationship between the Registrant
or the Bank and CENIT, nor between CENIT and any affiliate, director, or
officer of the Registrant or the Bank, or any associate of any such director
or officer.
In addition to the CENIT transaction, the Bank completed the sale of the
deposits and related assets of its Wilmington, Raleigh and Greensboro, North
Carolina branches to Centura Bank, Inc. ("Centura") on July 25, 1996 (the
"Centura transaction"). A description of this transaction is incorporated
herein by reference to Item 2 of the Registrant's Form 8-K dated July 26,
1996.
ITEM 7 - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS
(a) Financial Statements of Business Acquired - Not Applicable
(b) Pro Forma Financial Information
The unaudited pro forma financial statements consist of an unaudited pro
forma consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 1996 and 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
financial statements are presented for information purposes only and are not
necessarily indicative of the results which would actually have occurred if
the CENIT transaction and the Centura transaction had been consummated in the
past or which may be attained in the future. Further, in accordance with the
Agreement, the Bank's Grafton, Virginia branch, with deposits approximating
$5 million, will be sold to CENIT during the fourth quarter of 1996.
However, because this transaction has not yet occurred and is not material to
the impact of the CENIT transaction, pro forma adjustments directly
attributable to the sale of the Grafton, Virginia branch are not included in
the unaudited pro forma financial statements contained herein.
2
<PAGE>
The unaudited pro forma financial statements include the historical financial
statements of the Registrant, pro forma adjustments directly attributable to
the CENIT transaction and the Centura transaction, and pro forma results.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 1996
assumes the CENIT transaction and the Centura transaction occurred on 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 CENIT transaction occurred on September 15, 1995 with regard to
the three branches (Norfolk, Portsmouth and Hampton, Virginia) the Bank
acquired from Home Savings Bank, F.S.B., and on January 1, 1995 with regard
to the Newport News, Virginia branch. 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 Centura transaction occurred on January
1, 1995. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations
present loss from continuing operations before nonrecurring charges or
credits directly attributable to the CENIT transaction and the Centura
transaction.
(c) Exhibits
The Branch Purchase and Deposit Assumption Agreement dated July 2, 1996
between the Bank and CENIT is incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit
10.1 of the Registrant's Form 8-K dated July 3, 1996. The Branch Purchase and
Deposit Assumption Agreement dated April 11, 1996 between the Bank and
Centura is incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 10.1 of the
Registrant's Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 1996.

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
CENIT transaction occurred on September 15, 1995 with regard to the three
branches (Norfolk, Portsmouth and Hampton, Virginia) the Bank acquired from
Home Savings Bank, F.S.B., and on January 1, 1995 with regard to the Newport
News, Virginia branch and the Centura transaction, and present loss from
continuing operations before nonrecurring charges or credits directly
attributable to these transactions.
The pro forma adjustments present the elimination of actual interest expense
on deposits sold, 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. The
elimination of interest income and the accretion of discount on loans
serviced by others assumed to be sold was based on actual amounts included in
the Registrant's historical consolidated statements of operations for the
periods presented. Whereas, the elimination of interest income and the
amortization of premiums on loans serviced by the Bank and interest income on
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.
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.
CENTURA TRANSACTION PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS
(A) Elimination of interest income and accretion of discount on loan
portfolios sold to partially fund the sale of deposits.
(B) Elimination of interest income on cash equivalents liquidated to
partially fund the sale of deposits.
(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.
