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. (t/a Chesapeake
Investment Services) are wholly owned subsidiaries of
CFS and the Bank, respectively.   The Bank also is the
100% owner of CNB Properties, Inc. CFS chartered
Chesapeake Financial Group, Inc. (CFG) on August 31,
1998. The purpose of CFG is to provide investment
advice and management to the upscale customer.  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 1998 Annual
Report to Shareholders.

3.   The following data shows the amounts used in
computing earnings per share and the effect on the
weighted average number of shares of potential dilutive
common stock.  The potential common stock will not have
a significant impact on net income. The number of
shares used in the calculation for June 30, 1998
reflects a 20% stock dividend paid on October 15, 1998.

PART I.  Item 2.  - FINANCIAL INFORMATION (cont'd.) 6/99-10QSB
Chesapeake Financial Shares, Inc.
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.  Management's primary
sources of liquidity continue to be federal funds sold,
short term borrowing from Federal Home Loan Bank
Atlanta, securities maturing within one year, and
principal payments from mortgage securities.  The
repayment and sale of loans also provides liquidity.
The total of federal funds sold, securities maturing
within one year, and estimated principal payments on
mortgage-backed securities within one year at June 30,
1999 was approximately $6,838,000, compared to
$14,800,000 one year ago and $18,072,000 at December
31,1998.

     The liquidity ratio at June 30, 1999 was 27.4%,
compared with 33.0% 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.  Unencumbered capital (total capital net
of accumulated other comprehensive income less
intangibles plus reserves) as a percent of total
adjusted assets (total assets less intangibles plus
reserves) was 9.4% at June 30, 1999 and 9.1% at
December 31, 1998, for CFS.

     Chesapeake Financial Shares and 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, 1999 and
December 31, 1998 the consolidated ratio of Tier 1 risk-
based capital to risk-adjusted assets was 11.0% and
11.3%, respectively.  Total risked based capital to
risk weighted assets was 12.2% and 12.6% at June 30,
1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively.  Tier one
leverage capital was 8.3% and 8.4% at June 30, 1999 and
December 31, 1998, respectively.

B.  Results of operations:

     Earnings Summary:

     Net income was $911,402 for the six months ended
at June 30, 1999, compared with income of $896,422 for
the same period in 1998.  On a fully diluted per share
basis, the net profit was $0.71 for the first six
months of 1999. Earnings per share for the second
quarter of 1998 were also $0.38. Net interest income
before provision increased $67,938 or 2.0% and
noninterest income increased $299,089 or 17.9%.  The
Company experienced a net increase in noninterest
expense (which includes other expense) of $307,147 or
8.2%.

     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, 1999, the Company's interest-
earning assets exceeded its interest-bearing
liabilities by approximately $17.3 million, compared
with a $20.9 million excess one year ago.

     Net interest margins are 4.49% at June 30, 1999
compared to 4.68% at June 30, 1998.  Margins have
narrowed since early 1998 as our loan to deposit ratio
dropped from over 76% at June 1997, to lower than 69%
at the end of 1998. Prime also dropped three times in
the last four months of 1998. Management has adjusted
deposit rates on all products during the last twelve
months to match the market for changes in earning asset
returns. These changes have contributed to short term
improvement in margins, but prepayments on mortgage-
backed securities during the first quarter of 1999 had
a negative impact on margins.  The record prepayment
period was a direct result of the lower rate
environment during the fourth quarter of 1998.  The
second quarter return on the mortgaged-backed portfolio
was well within previous estimates since prepayment
speeds have returned to more normal levels. Management
expects continued improvement in margins and the loan
to deposit ratio is currently 73.9%.

     There has been significant growth in deposits in
all of the trade areas of the bank.  New product
offerings have been very successful.  A significant
portion of this deposit growth has been noninterest
bearing. A large number of interest-bearing deposits
are maturing/repricing at significantly lower rates.

PART I.  Item 2. - FINANCIAL INFORMATION (cont'd.)6/99-10QSB
Chesapeake Financial Shares, Inc.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
 Condition or Plan of Operation    (Unaudited)

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,
1999 supports the adequacy of the current loan loss
level of $2.2 million.

     Chesapeake Bank's management maintains a reserve
for loan loss that 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:
       o  The effect of volume and trends in
          delinquencies and nonaccrual loans.
       o  The effect of trends in portfolio volume,
          maturity, and composition.
       o  An estimate of future loss on all significant
          loans and assessment of underwriting and lending
          policies and procedures including those for charge off,
          collection and recovery.
       o  Experience, ability and depth of lending management and staff.
       o  The effect of national and local economic conditions and downturns
          in specific industries.
       o  Concentrations of credit that might affect loss experience across
          one or more components of the portfolio.
       o  The results of any independent reviews of the portfolio.

     The loan loss reserve is 1.8% of gross loans as of June 30, 1999
     and December 31, 1998.

     Noninterest Income:

     Noninterest income is up 17.9% or $299,089 from
the same period last year. Chesapeake Bank's Business
Manager product generated $535,500 in gross revenue for
the first six months ended June 30, 1999, compared to
the same period last year of $364,747.  Managed assets
in the business manager program were $6,943,174 at June
30, 1999 and $5,006,000 at June 30, 1998.

     The merchant card program has generated $318,485
or 26.1% more in gross revenue through June of this
year than in the same period last year due primarily to
an increased customer base.  Service charges on deposit
accounts have increased 13.7% or $36,003 over the same
period last year due to new account growth in new
market areas and additional account openings related to
promotions.

     The ATM fee income to date is $110,102, up 17.0%,
or $16,032 from one year ago. The Bank has 14 ATMs
operational as of the end of July 1999. The Bank
charges a nominal fee for use of its ATMs by non-
customers.

     Employee salary expense amounted to $1,553,142 and
$1,350,915 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and
1998, respectively.  Management opened the regional
financial services center in the City of Williamsburg
(the Lafayette Street Office) in June of 1998.  This is
the third Chesapeake banking office in the
Williamsburg/James City County area. In addition to the
Chesapeake Investment Services Investment Manager
resident in that office, management employed an
Investment Advisor for the Chesapeake Financial Group.
Benefits expense is down 2.6% or $7,953 from June 30,
1998.

     Occupancy expenses are up 15.4% or $106,464 from
June 30, 1998 primarily due to maintenance expenses at
branches, the opening of the Lafayette Street Financial
Center, and the acquisition/development and maintenance
of the School Street property (the Operations Center)
in Kilmarnock. This Operations Center was occupied on
the first of October. The School Street Operations
Center houses the Loan Processing Center,
Administrative Support, and Data Processing/Operations.
Equipment maintenance as well as insurance costs have
also increased.

PART I.  Item 2. - FINANCIAL INFORMATION (cont'd.) 6/99-10QSB
Chesapeake Financial Shares, Inc.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
 Condition or Plan of Operation             (Unaudited)

     Assets and Loans:

     At June 30, 1999, Chesapeake Financial Shares had
total assets of $186.8 million, up 2.7% from $181.9
million at December 31, 1998 and up 8.6% from $172.1
million of one year ago.  Management has budgeted for a
2.0% growth in total assets for 1999.

     Total loans (gross) at June 30, 1999 were $121.6
million, representing an increase of 9.1% from December
31, 1998, when loans were $111.4 million.  Chesapeake
Bank's loan quality is good as the following table
shows.  Management is confident that no serious
delinquency trends are developing.

                                      6/30/99           12/31/98

             Nonaccrual loans        $ 374,386         $ 202,434
             90 days past due              629             3,815
           Restructured loans                0                 0
                                      ________          ________
          Totals                     $ 375,015         $ 206,249

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

     Year to date charge offs through June 30, 1999
were $686 as compared to $6,185 as of June 30, 1998.
Recoveries through June 30, 1999 were $16,656 as
compared to $11,061 as of June 30, 1998.

     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 three months that would warrant above average
additions to the reserve.  The Bank's only
concentrations of credit greater than 70% of capital
are individual consumer (148% of capital) and
residential real estate (91% 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
carrying value of $185,000.  Bank management is
currently marketing these properties. The Bank also has
no repossessed assets.

     Deposits:

     Deposits are essentially unchanged at $ 164.7
million at June 30, 1999 and $164.6 million at December
31, 1998.  Deposits were $164.7 million and $154.8
million at June 30, 1999 and June 30, 1998,
respectively.  The Bank's mix of deposit dollars has
changed from one year ago with net increases in
noninterest bearing and lower interest bearing
balances. During the same period total certificates
dollars have decreased. It is management's opinion that
this is due to new product offerings and promotions,
the lower interest rate environment and the over-valued
equity market.

Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

     Chesapeake Financial Shares' annual meeting of
shareholders was held on Friday, April 2, 1999 in
Irvington, Virginia.  We have previously forwarded to
the Commission copies of the letter to shareholders,
the notice of the meeting, the proxy statement, and the
proxy.  Over 84% of the shareholders were represented
at the meeting in person or by proxy with over 83%
voting in favor of the proposal submitted.

PART II.  Item 5.  - OTHER INFORMATION
Chesapeake Financial Shares, Inc.
Other Information

     As of May 30, 1998, the Bank and Holding Company
completed a safety and soundness examination, an
Information Systems examination, a Phase II Y2K
examination, and a Trust examination, performed by the
Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond.

     As a result of these examinations management is
not aware of any current recommendations of the
regulatory authorities which, if they were implemented,
would have a material effect on liquidity, capital
resources or operations of the Bank or Holding Company.

     For computer systems that it has determined to be
most critical, CFS completed development and testing,
and adopted a business contingency plan prior to June
30, 1999.  These plans conform to recently issued
guidance from the FFIEC on business contingency
planning for Year 2000 readiness.  Contingency plans
include, among other actions, tested manual workarounds
and identification of resource requirements and
alternative solutions for resuming critical business
processes in the event of a Year 2000 related failure.
While management believes that it has taken the
necessary steps to resolve its Year 2000 issues in a
timely manner, there can be no guarantees that there
will be no Year 2000 problems.  At present, management
does not expect that any such problems will have a
material adverse effect on its business.
