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 borrowings 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, 2000 was
 approximately $5,109,000, compared to $13,584,000 one year ago and
$6,334,000 at December 31,1999.

	The liquidity ratio at March 31, 2000 was 25.3%, compared with 28.7% 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 9.1% at March 31, 2000 and 9.2%
 at December 31, 1999, 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, 2000 and December 31,
 1999 the consolidated ratio of Tier 1 risk-based capital to risk-adjusted
 assets was 10.3% and 10.4%, respectively.  Total risked based capital to
 risk weighted assets was 11.6% and 11.7% at March 31, 2000 and December 31,
 1999, respectively. Tier one leverage capital was 8.3% and 8.3% at March 31,
 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively.

B.  Results of operations:

     Earnings Summary:

	Net income was $541,473 for the three months ended March 31, 2000, compared
 with income of $421,204 for the same period in 1999.  On a fully diluted per
 share basis, the net profit was $0.42 for the first three months of 2000.
 Earnings per share for the first quarter of 1999 were $0.33. Net interest
 income before provision increased $333,343 or 20.5% and noninterest income
 increased $192,239 or 20.6%.  The Company experienced a net increase in
 noninterest expense (which includes other expense) of $372,976 or 19.3%.

     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, 2000, the Company's interest-earning assets exceeded its
 interest-bearing liabilities by approximately $17.9 million, compared with
 a $16.4 million excess one year ago.

	Net interest margins are 4.67% at March 31, 2000 compared to 4.33% at March
 31, 1999.  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
 reduced deposit rates during the last half of 1998 on all products to match
 the market for reduced earning asset returns. These changes produced short
 term improvements in margins, but prepayments on mortgage-backed securities
 during the last quarter of 1998 and the first quarter of 1999 had a negative
 impact on margins.  The record prepayment period was a direct result of the
 lower rate environment in 1998.  Returns on mortgage-backed investment
 securities improved quickly as rates increased at the end of 1999. Current
 and near term 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 trade areas of the
 bank.  New product offerings have been very successful in maintaining market
 share as interest rates have started to increase.  A significant portion of
 past deposit growth has been noninterest bearing. Management expects this
 favorable trend to stop.  Large banks are currently buying market share in
 the current rising rate environment.  A large number of interest-bearing
 deposits are maturing/repricing at higher interest rates. Offsetting this
 will be the effect of loans with interest rates that are tied to prime
 repricing at slightly higher rates which will positively impact margins in
 the near future.  However, with prime plus 1% currently at 10%, loan demand
 will begin to weaken. This will have negative impact on margins if rates
 remain at these levels.

PART I.  Item 2.  - FINANCIAL INFORMATION (cont'd.) 3/00-10QSB
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 March 31, 2000
 supports the adequacy of the current loan loss level of $2.3 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 1.7% of gross loans as of March 31, 2000 and
 December 31,1999.

     Noninterest Income:

	Noninterest income is up 20.6% or $192,239 from the same period last year.
 Chesapeake Bank's Business Manager product generated $353,352 in gross
 revenue for the first three months ended March 31, 2000, compared to the
 same period last year of $262,738.  Managed assets in the business manager
 program were $8,941,946 at March 31, 2000, and $7,294,938 at March 31, 1999.

	The merchant card program has generated $182,826 or 29.0% more in gross
 revenue through March of this year than in the same period last year due to
 an increased customer base.

	The Other Income category was $149,070, up 28.8%, or $33,299 from one year
 ago. The Bank sold several pieces of mechanical equipment at gains and had
 a nonrecurring recovery of $8,482 from a billing error in a previous period.
 Service Charges on deposit accounts were up 14.8%, or $20,785, from one year
 ago due to increased account volume.

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

Noninterest Expenses:

	Employee salary expense amounted to $852,293 and $751,985 for the three
 months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.  Benefits expense is up
 16.4% or $24,594 from March 31, 1999.  These increases are directly related
 to new hires as market share has increased and due to cost increase in the
 human resource and benefits areas.  In addition, the Williamsburg market has
 been highly competitive due to the higher growth rate that the community is
 experiencing.

	Other expenses are up 33.6%, or $123,598, over the same period last year due
 in part to a $21,000 loss on property owned.  There was also a $15,000
 expense incurred for the removal of the James City County (JCC) Winn-Dixie
 Supermarket banking unit.  The JCC branch was closed on January 31, 2000.
 The rental expense associated with that facility ends April 20, 2000. Other
 increases in expenses are associated with increased level of business
 activity.

	Cash management expense was $176,097 for the three months ended March 31,
 2000, up 97.6% from the same period one year ago. This increase is
 associated with additional business activity.

     Assets and Loans:

	At March 31, 2000, Chesapeake Financial Shares had total assets of $203.5
 million, up 3.1% from $197.4 million at December 31, 1999 and up 11.2% from
 $183.0 million of one year ago.  Management has budgeted for a 7.0% growth
 in total assets for 2000.

	Total loans (gross) at March 31, 2000 were $137.6 million, representing an
 increase of 3.5% from December 31, 1999, when loans were $132.9 million.
 Chesapeake Bank's loan quality is good as the following table shows.
 Management is confident that no serious delinquency trends are developing.

                                      					   3/31/00	    12/31/99

		Nonaccrual loans	                         	$231,951    	$155,520
		90 days past due		                            5,865	       3,554
		Restructured loans	                               0		          0
                                        					________    	________
		Totals		                                  	$237,816    	$159,074

	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.

	Charged off loans through March 31, 2000, amounted to $4,393.  There were no
 charge offs through March 31, 1999.  Recoveries through March 31, 2000 were
 $1,704 as compared to $1,203 as of March 31, 1999.

	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 (188% of capital) and residential real estate (83% 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 $ 174.5 million at March 31, 2000 and
 $174.8 million at December 31, 1999.  Deposits were $174.5 million and
 $164.7 million at March 31, 2000 and March 31, 1999, respectively.  The
 Bank's mix of deposit dollars has changed from March 31, 1999 with net
 increases in noninterest bearing and lower interest bearing balances.
 During the same period total certificates dollars have increased slightly.
 It is management's opinion that this trend will reverse itself in the
 current interest rate environment.
