    Second Bank & Trust has an agreement with the Federal Reserve where it can
    borrow funds deposited by its customers.  This agreement calls for variable
    interest and is payable on demand.  U. S. Government securities and U. S.
    Treasury notes are pledged as collateral.  The Treasury will usually require
    that this amount be limited to $1,000,000, but will occasionally allow
    higher amounts before requesting a drawdown.

    Second Bank & Trust has the following advances outstanding at September 30,
    2000 with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta:

    Advance, due May 2010, interest quarterly at 6.69%    $ 5,000,000

    The advances are collateralized by a blanket lien on Second Bank & Trust's
    first mortgage loans.

    Caroline Savings Bank has an outstanding Federal Home Loan Bank advance of
    $320,000 that requires quarterly principal payments totaling $80,000
    annually and interest payable monthly at 6.60%. [Caroline also has
    outstanding an advance for $2,000,000 maturing October 18, 2001 at 6.60%]
    Substantially all of Caroline Savings Bank's first mortgage loans are
    pledged, by blanket floating lien, as collateral for all advances from the
    Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta.

    The average balance of short-term borrowings outstanding did not exceed 30
    percent of stockholders' equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2000
    or the year ended December 31, 1999.

   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
                                   OPERATIONS

The following discussion provides information about the major components of the
results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and capital resources of
Virginia Commonwealth Financial Corporation (the Company). This discussion and
analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial
Statements and supplemental financial data.

In addition to historical information, statements contained in this report that
are not historical facts may be construed as forward-looking statements. The
forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, which
could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results, or
those anticipated. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements, which reflect management's analysis only as of the
date thereof.


Overview

Virginia Commonwealth Financial Corporation's consolidated net income for the
quarter ended September 30, 2000 amounted to $1.26 million or $.54 per share,
compared to $1.22 million or $.52 per share for the quarter ended September 30,
1999.  Earnings for the nine month period ended September 30, 2000 amounted to
$3.68 million or $1.56 per share, an increase of 2.3% over the $3.59 million or
$1.52 per share for the comparable period in 1999. The Company's annualized
return on average equity for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000 was
10.11%, compared to 10.21% in 1999. The Company's annualized return on average
assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 was 1.14%, compared to 1.18%
for the comparative period in 1999.

Excluding $57 thousand in after-tax charges associated with acquisitions and
systems conversions completed during the third quarter, earnings for the three
month period were $1.32 million or $.56 per diluted share. For the nine months
ended September 30, 2000 VCFC's recurring earnings was $3.87 million, or $1.64
per diluted share, excluding net of tax nonrecurring costs totaling $194
thousand, compared to $3.62 million or $1.54 per share in 1999. VCFC's third
quarter 2000 recurring earnings produced an annualized return on average assets
of 1.18% and an annualized return on average equity of 10.83%, compared to prior
year ratios of 1.20% and 10.40%, respectively.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Interest Income

Net interest income increased $234 thousand or 5.6% to $4.42 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2000.  For the nine months ended September 30,
2000, net interest income increased $782 thousand or 6.3% to $13.10 million.
This improvement for the quarter and nine-month period can be attributed to an
increase in average earning assets and a relatively stable net interest margin.
Average earning assets increased $26.6 million to $405.1 million at September
30, 2000, an increase of 7.0% over $378.5 million at September 30, 1999. The net
interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 was 4.52%, compared
to 4.54% for the comparable period in 1999.

   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
                                   OPERATIONS


Noninterest Income

Noninterest income increased $71 thousand to $844 thousand for the three months
ended September 30, 2000, an improvement of 9.2% over $773 thousand for the
comparative period in 1999. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000,
noninterest income decreased $8 thousand or .3% to $2.5 million. The improvement
noted in the third quarter was due to higher fees on brokerage operations. For
the year, increases in fees on brokerage and trust services were offset by
decreases in fees from mortgage banking operations.

Noninterest Expense

Operating expenses increased $272 thousand, or 8.8% to $3.4 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2000, compared to $3.1 million for the same
period in 1999. Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2000
amounted to $10.1 million, an increase of $765 thousand or 8.2% over the
comparable period in 1999. Included in this increase are nonrecurring expenses
of $128 thousand for the three-month period and $246 thousand for the nine-month
period associated with system conversions and merger costs incurred in
connection with acquisitions. Incremental compensation costs of $138 thousand
for the three-month period and $381 thousand for the nine-month period are
associated with management additions and normal staff hiring.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Summary

At September 30, 2000, the Company has total assets of $453.4 million, an
increase of $37.8 million or 9.1% from $415.6 million at December 31, 1999.
Deposit growth of $23.0 million and FHLB advances of $12 million were used to
fund loan growth of $19.3 million and short-term securities growth of $18.2
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. Short term investments
include interest bearing deposits with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta and
federal funds sold. The securities portfolio of $106.5 million at September 30,
2000 consists of U.S. Treasuries, U.S. Government agencies and corporations,
obligations of state and political subdivisions, and  corporate bonds.

Asset Quality

Nonperforming assets, consisting of non-accrual loans and other real estate
owned, amounted to $1.2 million or .16% of loans receivable at September 30,
2000, compared to $1.6 million at December 31, 1999. The Company recorded a
provision for loan losses of $167 thousand for the three month period ended
September 30, 2000, compared to a provision of $173 thousand for the three month
period ended September 30, 1999. Provision for loan losses for the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2000 amounted to $476 thousand, compared to $548
thousand for 1999. The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2000 amounted
to $3.4 million compared to $3.1 million at December 31, 1999. The allowance for
loan losses represents 715% of nonperforming loans and 1.12% of gross loans
receivable at September 30, 2000. Management feels that the allowance is
adequate to absorb any losses on existing loans receivable.

   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
                                   OPERATIONS

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's capital base provides the resource and ability to support the
assets of the Company and provide capital for future expansion. Stockholders'
equity as of September 30, 2000 of $49.4 million increased $2.2 million or
approximately 4.7% from $47.2 million at December 31, 1999. The Company's Tier I
capital consists primarily of common stockholder's equity. Risk weighted assets
are determined by assigning various risk levels to each asset type. The
Company's Tier 1 risk based capital ratio was 16.7% at September 30, 2000,
compared to 17.4% at December 31, 1999, placing the Company in a well
capitalized position as defined by regulators.

Liquidity is identified as the ability to generate or acquire sufficient amounts
of cash when needed and at reasonable cost to accommodate withdrawals, payments
of debt, and increased loan demand.  These events may occur daily or at other
short-term intervals in the normal operation of the business.  Experience helps
management predict time cycles in the amount of cash required.  In assessing
liquidity, management gives consideration to relevant factors including
stability of deposits, quality of assets, economy of market served,
concentrations of business and industry, competition, and the Company's overall
financial condition.  The Company's primary sources of liquidity are cash, due
from banks, fed funds sold and securities in our available for sale portfolio.
In addition, the Bank has substantial lines of credit from its correspondent
banks and access to the Federal Reserve discount window and Federal Home Loan
Bank to support liquidity. The Company has no brokered deposits. In the judgment
of management, the Company maintains the ability to generate sufficient amounts
of cash to cover normal requirements and any additional needs which may arise.

Effects of Inflation

The effect of changing prices on financial institutions is typically different
from other industries as the Company's assets and liabilities are monetary in
nature. Interest rates and thus the Company's asset liability management is
impacted by changes in inflation, but there is not a direct correlation between
the two measures. Management monitors the impact of inflation on the financial
markets.

ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no significant changes to the quantitative and qualitative
market risk disclosures in the Company's Form 10K for the year ended December
31, 1999.
