Chesapeake Financial Shares, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------

1.  Chesapeake Financial Shares, Inc. ("CFS) owns 100% of Chesapeake
Bank (the "Bank").  Two additional subsidiaries, Chesapeake Mortgage
Company, Inc. and Chesapeake Insurance Agency, Inc. are wholly-owned
subsidiaries of CFS and the Bank, respectively.  The consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of CFS and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany accounts have been
eliminated.

2.  The accounting and reporting policies of the registrant conform to
generally accepted accounting principles and to the general practices
within the banking industry.  The interim financial statements have
not been audited; however, in the opinion of management, all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments,
necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial
statements have been included.

     These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and the footnotes included in the registrant's
1995 Annual Report to Shareholders.

3.  Earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of
common shares and common stock equivalents outstanding during the
year.  The number of common shares and common stock equivalents used
for June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 were 865,642 and 868,608,
respectively.

4.  CFS adopted FASB No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investment in
Debt and Equity Securities" effective beginning January l, 1994.  This
statement addresses the accounting and reporting for investments in
equity securities that have readily determinable fair market values
and for all investment in debt securities.  Those investments are
classified in three categories and accounted for as follows:

     a.  Securities Held to Maturity- Securities classified as held to
maturity are those debt securities CFS has both the intent and the
ability to hold to maturity regardless of changes in general economic
conditions.  These securities are carried at cost, adjusted for
amortization of premium and accretion of discount, computed by the
interest method over their contractual lives.  CFS held no assets
classified as Held to Maturity at December 31, 1995 or June 30, 1996.

     b.  Securities Available for Sale- Securities classified as
available for sale are those debt and equity securities that CFS
intends to hold for an indefinite period of time, but not necessarily
to maturity.  Any decision to sell a security classified as available
for sale would be based on various factors, including significant
movements in interest rates, changes in the maturity mix of CFS's
assets and liabilities, liquidity needs, regulatory capital 


                                             Page: 6

- ---------------------------------------------------------------------

considerations, and other factors.  Securities available for sale are 
carried at fair market value.  Unrealized gains or losses are reported
as increases or decreases in shareholder's equity, net of the related
deferred tax effect.  Realized gains or losses, determined on the
basis of the cost of specific securities sold, are included in
earnings.

     c.  Trading Securities- Trading securities, which are generally
held for short term in anticipation of market gains, are carried at
fair market value.  Realized and unrealized gains and losses on
trading account assets are included in interest income on trading
account securities.  The Corporation held no assets classified as
Trading Securities at December 31, 1995 or June 31, 1996.

5.  Loans are stated at face value, net of unearned discount and the
reserve for loan losses.  Interest is computed by methods which result
in level rates of return on principal.  Generally, interest is not
accrued on loans over ninety days past due.  Interest on loans that
are placed on nonaccrual status and which management considers to be
uncollectible is charged off.  Nonrefundable loan fees and direct loan
origination costs are recognized in operations when received and
incurred, respectively.  The impact of this methodology is not
significantly different from recognizing the net of these fees and
costs over the contractual life of the related loan.

     Mortgage loans held for resale are stated at the lower of cost or
market on an individual basis.  Loan discounts and origination fees
received on loans held for resale are deferred until the related loans
are sold to third party investors.  Gains are recognized at the time
of sale.

6.  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards NO. 121, "Accounting
for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
be Disposed of," establishes standards for the impairment of long-lived
assets, certain identifiable intangibles, and goodwill related
to those assets to be held and used and for long-lived assets and
certain identifiable intangibles to be disposed of.  This statement
requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles
to be held and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount
of an asset may not be recoverable.  The Statement was effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 31, 1995.  The Statement does
not have a material impact on CFS.

     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.  122, "Accounting
for Mortgaging Servicing Rights," amends FASB No. 65, "Accounting for
Certain Mortgage Banking Activities," to require that a mortgage
banking enterprise recognize as separate assets rights to servicing

Chesapeake Financial Shares, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------

mortgage loans for others, however those servicing rights are
acquired.  A mortgage banking enterprise that acquires mortgage
servicing rights through either the purchase or origination of
mortgage loans and sells or securitizes those loans with servicing
rights should allocate the total cost of the mortgage loans to the
servicing rights and the loans (without the mortgage servicing rights)
based on their fair values if it is practicable to estimate those fair
values.  If it is not practicable to estimate the fair values of the
mortgage servicing rights and the mortgage loans (without the mortgage
servicing rights), the entire cost of purchasing or originating the
loans should be allocated to the mortgage loans (without the servicing
rights) and no cost should be allocated to the mortgage servicing
rights.  The statement was effective for transactions in the fiscal
years beginning after December 31, 1995.  The statement does not have
a material impact on CFS.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
   Condition or Plan of Operation                   (Unaudited)
- ------------------------------------------------------------------

A.  Summary - liquidity and capital resources

     Sufficient short-term assets are maintained at Chesapeake
Financial Shares to meet cash needs anticipated by management.  The
CFS's primary sources of liquidity continue to be federal funds sold,
time deposits with banks and securities maturing within one year.  The
repayment and sale of loans also provides liquidity.  The total of
federal funds sold, time deposits with banks and securities maturing
within one year at June 30, 1996 was approximately $9,501,000,
compared to $7,354,000 one year ago and $7,370,000 at December 31,
1995.

     The liquidity ratio at June 30, 1996 was 30%, compared with 30%
one year ago.  This ratio is arrived at by dividing net liquid assets
(sum of total Cash and Due from Banks, including Federal Reserve,
unpledged and over pledged portions of Investment Securities at market
value, and federal funds sold less reserves required at the Federal
Reserve Bank) by net liabilities (total liabilities excluding
valuation reserves and capital).  Management has found in the past
that 18% represents a sufficient level of liquidity to meet cash
needs.

     Management believes capital is adequate to meet current needs. 
Since Chesapeake Financial Shares has total assets of less than $150
million, the capital requirements of only the subsidiary, Chesapeake
Bank are used for regulatory purposes.  Unencumbered capital (total
capital net of unrealized securities gains/losses less intangibles
plus reserves) as a percent of total adjusted assets (total assets
less intangibles plus reserves) was 9.6% at June 30, 1996 and 9.3% at
December 31, 1995, for CFS.

     Chesapeake Bank must have a ratio of Tier 1 capital (common
equity, retained earnings less certain goodwill) to risk-adjusted
assets of at least 4.0%.  At June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 the
Bank's ratio of Tier 1 risk based capital to risk-adjusted assets was
13.2% and 12.9%, respectively.  Total risked based capital to risk
weighted assets was 14.4% and 14.2% at June 30, 1996 and December 31,
1995, respectively.  Tier one leverage capital was 8.7% and 8.3% at
June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively.

B.  Results of operations:

     Earnings Summary:

          Net income was $728,556 for the six months ended June 30,
1996, compared with income of $631,078 for the same period in 1995.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
   Condition or Plan of Operation                   (Unaudited)
- ------------------------------------------------------------------

On a per share basis, the net profit was $.84 for the first six
months, compared with $.73 per share for the same period in the prior
year.  The increase in earnings resulted primarily from a $98,317 or
4.0% increase in net interest income after provision and a $205,573 or
22.5% increase in noninterest income.  The Company experienced a net
increase in noninterest expense of $191,912 or 7.8%.

     Net Interest Income:
          
          Chesapeake Financial Shares' results of operation are
significantly affected by its ability to manage effectively the
interest rate sensitivity and maturity of its interest-earning assets
and interest-bearing liabilities.  At June 30, 1996, the Company's
interest-earning assets exceeded its interest-bearing liabilities by
approximately $13.6 million, compared with a $16.2 million excess one
year ago.

          Net interest margins are up at 4.49% at June 30, 1996
compared to 4.40% at June 30, 1995.  Chesapeake Bank has maintained
competitive rates throughout the last year without being aggressive. 
The January  96 decrease in the New York prime rate had a negative
impact on margins during the first quarter.  However, margins have
improved as our loan to deposit ratio has risen from below 70% at
December 31, 1995, to 73% at June 30, 1996.

          Loan returns continue to improve as loans reprice to a mix
of some higher and some lower, prime based indexes.  The securities
portfolio has been repositioned for improved yields with no
significant increases in risk.  This has improved the overall
contribution from the investment portfolio.

     Provision for Loan Losses:

          The loan loss provision is a charge against earnings
necessary to maintain the reserve for loan losses at a level
consistent with management's evaluation of the credit quality and risk
adverseness of the portfolio.  Management makes a quarterly evaluation
as to the adequacy of the current loan loss reserve.  Management's
detailed analysis as of June 30, 1996 supports the adequacy of the
current loan loss level of $1.6 million.

          Chesapeake Bank's management maintains a reserve for loan
loss which they feel represents a conservative estimate of potential
losses in the Bank's loan portfolio.  The methodology incorporates
subjective factors into the evaluation of the adequacy of the ALLL
such as:

         across one or more components of the portfolio
     	  Taking into account results of any independent reviews of
         the portfolio

          The loan loss reserve is 1.9% and 1.8% of gross loans as of
June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 respectively.  The loan portfolio
is reviewed on an annual basis by outside parties.

     Noninterest Income:

          Noninterest income is up 22.5% or $205,573 from the same
period last year.  Trust income is up 19.1%, or $58,825, from June 30,
1995.  This increase was due to the timing of executor and estate fees
this quarter and the general level of business.  Service charges on
deposit accounts were up $10,803 or 4.5% from June 30, 1995.

          Bank management has changed the merchant card program to a
principal member of the VISA/MASTERCARD Network and completed the
first year on the program as of March this year.  This has generated
approximately $28,047 more in gross revenue than in the same period
last year.  The ATM fee income to date is $58,787.  The Bank had only
$18,240 from ATM fee income as of June 30, 1995.  The Bank has 16 ATMs
operational as of the end of June, 1996.

          Chesapeake Bank is also offering an accounting/bookkeeping
service to assist business owners in their cash management.  This
service, called Business Manager, has generated $180,498 in gross
revenue for the first six months ended June 30, 1996, compared to the
same period last year of $66,898.  All mortgage related fees are down
due to the interest rate environment, including inspection fees,
mortgage insurance income, and appraisal fees.  Other income is down

$43,559 or 19.7% from the 1995 level of $221,614 due to a tax refund
last year of $38,312.

     Noninterest Expenses:
          
          Employee salaries expenses amounted to $1,093,662 and
$967,593 as of June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  The company has
been in the process of retraining and restaffing through attrition to
provide a more sales and incentive oriented environment.  Some
positions have not been filled and those tasks have been eliminated or
reassigned.  Further effeciencies are expected as we utilize the
features of a new banking software system installed in February of
this year.  We have opened a new branch in Williamsburg in July and
additional staff was added during the second quarter.  Benefits
expense is down 25.9% or $88,168 over June 30, 1995 due primarily to
reduced expenses related to the pension plan and keyman insurance
coverage.  Occupancy expenses are up 33.3% or $119,857 from June 30,
1995 primarily due to leasehold improvements and rent increases at the
Bank's Loan Processing Center, leasehold expenses at the James City
County Winn-Dixie Office and some one-time maintenance expenses at
other branches.  There are additional expenses associated with
renovations to the Operations Center and the new Branch opening in
Williamsburg.


          Merchant Card expenses are up 37.6% due to increased volume
in the program.  Profit margins are expected to improve in 1997.  ATM
expenses are up due to the depreciation expenses associated with the
expansion of the Bank's ATM network (now 16 ATMs).  The ATM program is
expected to break even during this quarter on fee income.  Additional
expense reduction will be realized in the ATM program due to planned
changes in our ATM processing vendor.

          Deposit insurance costs were down due to a nationwide
reduction in insurance premiums for well-capitalized banks.  Other
expenses were $547,386 for the six month period, compared with
$500,783 for the same period one year ago.  Increases in this area are
primarily related to increases in travel and entertainment and
training expenses.  There is also a pare off expense of $10,037
related to the sale of loans held for resale.

          We completed the transition to the new Jack Henry &
Associates Banking Software product "Silverlake" during the first
quarter of 1996.

          As of this report date the Bank has 16 ATM/cash dispensers
in operation.  Three were completed by December 31, 1994 in the Hayes

office, the Gloucester Winn-Dixie Office and a cash dispenser at Cobbs
Creek, in a convenience store.  During 1995 Chesapeake Bank installed
ATMs at the Kilmarnock office, James City County Winn-Dixie office, in
front the Best Value department store in Mathews, in a convenience
store at Glenns, in the lobby of the Rappahannock General Hospital,
and two ATMs were installed at the Williamsburg Pottery facility.

          The Bank also has ATM machines at Fredericksburg,
Disputania, Ashland, and in the East Coast Convenience Store, Route
17, and the Zooms Convenience Store on Route 5 in Williamsburg.  An
additional ATM was opened in July at the new Williamsburg Office at
Route 5 and Ironbround Road.

     Assets and Loans:

          At June 30, 1996, Chesapeake Financial Shares had total
assets of $130.8 million, down less than 1% from $131.3 million at
December 31, 1995 and up 3.4% from $126.5 million of one year ago. 
Management has budgeted a 5.0% growth in total assets for 1996. 
Growth objectives have been set in loan growth, funded in part by the
securities portfolio and by deposit growth.

          Total loans (gross) at June 30, 1996 were $85.8 million,
representing an increase of 3.9% from December 31, 1995, when loans
were $82.5 million.  Chesapeake Bank's loan quality is exceptionally
good as the following table shows:

          Nonaccrual loans    $ 169,049         $ 138,200
          90 days past due       17,826            71,505
          Restructured loans          0                 0
                                ________          ________
               Totals         $ 186,875         $ 209,705

          Management is confident there will be no loss incurred as
the Bank is well secured on these assets.  There are no troubled debt
restructurings outstanding at the end of either period.

          Chesapeake Bank has experienced greatly reduced loan charge
offs and increased recoveries as the credit quality has improved and
effective collection techniques are used.  Year to date charge offs
through June 30, 1996 where $124,841 as compared to $12,438 as of June
30, 1995.  Recoveries through June 30, 1996 were $179,057 as compared
to $21,094 as of June 30, 1995.  The recovery trend is not expected to
continue.

Chesapeake Financial Shares, Inc.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
   Condition or Plan of Operation                   (Unaudited)
- ------------------------------------------------------------------


          Concentrations of credit in loans are compiled quarterly by
management and reviewed with the Board of Director's Loan Review
Committee.  There have been no material changes in the concentrations
of credit within the past six months which would warrant any
additional reserve.  The Bank's only concentrations of credit greater
than 60% of capital are in residential real estate (290% of total
capital) and commercial real estate (80% of total capital).  Bank
management feels that the current levels are consistent with the
objectives of the Bank and do not represent unwarranted risk.

          The Bank's Other Real Estate Owned (OREO) portfolio
currently has two properties with a total written down value of
$245,000.  Bank management is aggressively marketing these properties.


     Deposits:
          
          Deposits are down less than 1%, with total deposits
amounting to $117.6 million, compared with $118.7 million at December
31, 1995.  Deposits were $114.6 million at June 30, 1995.  Competition
for deposit dollars is keen with the past year's run up in interest
rates and the volatility in the bond and equity markets.  Management
expects to grow the bank during the second six months to offset the
loan demand.
