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 March 31, 1998
reflects a 20% stock dividend paid on October 15, 1998.

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 March 31,
1999 was approximately $13,584,000, compared to
$15,729,000 one year ago and $18,072,000 at December
31,1998.

     The liquidity ratio at March 31, 1999 was 28.7%,
compared with 33.5% 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 9.3% at March 31, 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 March 31, 1999
and December 31, 1998 the consolidated ratio of Tier 1
risk-based capital to risk-adjusted assets was 11.2%
and 11.3%, respectively.  Total risked based capital to
risk weighted assets was 12.4% and 12.6% at March 31,
1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively.  Tier one
leverage capital was 8.4% and 8.4% at March 31, 1999
and December 31, 1998, respectively.

B.  Results of operations:

     Earnings Summary:

     Net income was $421,204 for the three months ended
March 31, 1999, compared with income of $415,111 for
the same period in 1998.  On a fully diluted per share
basis, the net profit was $0.33 for the first three
months of 1999. Earnings per share for the first
quarter of 1998 were also $0.33. Net interest income
before provision decreased $20,571 or 1.2% and
noninterest income increased $130,935 or 16.3%.  The
Company experienced a net increase in noninterest
expense (which includes other expense) of $117,532 or
6.5%.

     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 March 31, 1999, the Company's interest-
earning assets exceeded its interest-bearing
liabilities by approximately $16.4 million, compared
with a $19.8 million excess one year ago.

     Net interest margins are 4.33% at March 31, 1999
compared to 4.58% at March 31, 1998. The March 97
increase in the New York prime rate had a positive
impact on margins beginning the second quarter of 1997
as prime-adjusted loans repriced at generally higher
levels.  Margins have narrowed since early 1998 as our
loan to deposit ratio dropped from over 76% at June,
1997, to under 69% at the end of 1998. Prime also
dropped three times in the last four months of 1998.
Management has reduced deposit rates on all products
during the last twelve months to match the market for
reduced 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.  Future returns on the mortgaged-backed portfolio
are expected to be well within previous estimates since
prepayment speeds have returned to more normal levels.

     There has been significant growth in deposits in
all of the trade areas of the bank.  New product
offerings have been very successful in this low
interest rate environment.  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.
Offsetting this will be the effect of loans with
interest rates that are tied to prime repricing at
lower rates which will negatively impact margins in the
near future

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 March
31, 1999 supports the adequacy of the current loan loss
level of $2.1 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:
          The effect of volume and trends in
           delinquencies and nonaccrual loans.
          The effect of trends in portfolio volume,
           maturity, and composition.
          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.
          Experience, ability and depth of lending
           management and staff.
          The effect of national and local economic conditions and
           downturns in specific industries.
          Concentrations of credit that might affect loss experience
           across one or more components of the portfolio.
          The results of any independent reviews of the portfolio.

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

     Noninterest Income:

     Noninterest income is up 16.3% or $130,935 from
the same period last year. Chesapeake Bank's Business
Manager product generated $262,738 in gross revenue for
the first three months ended March 31, 1999, compared
to the same period last year of $170,985.  Managed
assets in the business manager program were $7,294,938
at March 31, 1999, and $4,248,994 at March 31, 1998.

     The merchant card program has generated $141,767
or 34.6% more in gross revenue through March of this
year than in the same period last year due to an
increased customer base.

     The ATM fee income to date is $48,227, up 10.2%,
or $43,778 of one year ago. The Bank has 13 ATMs
operational as of the end of March, 1999. The Bank
charges a nominal fee for use of its ATMs by non-
customers.

Noninterest Expenses:

     Employee salary expense amounted to $751,985 and
$688,451 for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and
1998, respectively.  Management opened 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 5.2% or $8,157 from March 31,
1998.

     Occupancy expenses are up 7.0% or $24,671 from
March 31, 1998 primarily due to maintenance expenses at
branches, including the Lafayette Street Financial
Center, and the acquisition/development and maintenance
of the School Street property 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.

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

     Assets and Loans:

     At March 31, 1999, Chesapeake Financial Shares had
total assets of $183.0 million, up 0.7% from $181.9
million at December 31, 1998 and up 7.2% from $170.8
million of one year ago.  Management has budgeted for a
2.0% growth in total assets for 1999.

     Total loans (gross) at March 31, 1999 were $116.2
million, representing an increase of 4.3% 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.
 
                                     3/31/99       12/31/98

          Nonaccrual loans         $ 324,506      $ 202,434
          90 days past due             4,331          3,815
          Restructured loans               0              0
                                     -------        -------
          Totals                   $ 328,837      $ 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.

     There were no charge offs through March 31, 1999
or March 31, 1998.  Recoveries through March 31, 1999
were $1,203 as compared to $671 as of March 31, 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 (137% of capital), residential
real estate (98% of total capital), and the hospitality
sector (72% 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 March 31, 1999 and $164.6 million at
December 31, 1998.  Deposits were $164.7 million and
$154.3 million at March 31, 1999 and March 31, 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 product offerings and the lower interest
rate environment.
