           The Company had no impaired  loans at June 30, 1998 and  December 31,
1997.

           Nonaccrual  loans excluded from impaired loan  disclosure  under FASB
114 amounted to $252,000 at June 30, 1998 and $243,000 at December 31, 1997.  If
interest on these loans had been  accrued,  such income would have  approximated
$24,000 for the first six months of 1998 and $2,000 in 1997.

Note 5.    New Accounting Pronouncements

           In February 1998,  the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued
           Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 132,  "Employers
           Disclosures about Pensions and Other Post Retirement  Benefits." This
           statement  revises  employers'  disclosures  about  pension and other
           postretirement  benefit plans.  It does not change the measurement or
           recognition  of  those  plans.   This  statement   standardizes   the
           disclosure   requirements  for  pensions  and  other   postretirement
           benefits to the extent practicable,  requires additional  information
           on changes in the benefit  obligations and fair values of plan assets
           that will  facilitate  financial  analysis,  and  eliminates  certain
           disclosures.  Restatement  of  disclosures  for  earlier  periods  is
           required.  This  statement is effective for the  Company's  financial
           statement for the year ended December 31, 1998.

           In  June  1998,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  issued
           Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for
           Derivative   Instruments  and  Hedging  Activities."  This  statement
           requires  companies  to record  derivative  on the  balance  sheet as
           assets  and  liabilities,  measured  at fair  value.  Gains or losses
           resulting  from  changes in the values of those  derivative  would be
           accounted for depending on the use of the  derivative  and whether it
           qualifies  for hedge  accounting.  This  statement is not expected to
           have a material impact on the Company's  financial  statements.  This
           statement is  effective  for fiscal  years  beginning  after June 15,
           1999, with earlier adoption  encouraged.  The Company will adopt this
           accounting standard as required by January 1, 2000.

           In March 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
           (AICPA) issued  Statement of Position  ("SOP") 98-1,  "Accounting for
           the Costs of Computer  Software  Developed  or Obtained  for Internal
           Use."  This SOP  provides  guidance  on  accounting  for the costs of
           computer  software  developed or obtained for internal  use. This SOP
           requires that entities capitalize certain internal use software costs
           once certain criteria are met. This SOP  is  not expected to  have  a
           material impact on the Company's financial statements.

           In April 1998, the AICPA issued SOP 98-5,  "Reporting on the Costs of
           Start-Up Activities," which requires the costs of start-up activities
           and organization costs to be expensed as incurred.  This SOP  is  not
           expected  to  have  a  material  impact on  the  Company's  financial
           statements.

           Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
           Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting  Comprehensive Income." This
           statement   establishes   standards  for  reporting  and  display  of
           comprehensive income and its components  (revenues,  expenses,  gains
           and losses) in a full set of general  purpose  financial  statements.
           Financial   statements  for  prior  periods  have  been  restated  as
           required.

Item 2.    MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION  AND  ANALYSIS OF  FINANCIAL  CONDITION  AND
           RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

           Financial Summary

           Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1998, increased 14.9% to
           $1.4  million or $.75 per share  compared to $1.2 million or $.70 per
           share for the first six months of 1997. Annualized returns on average
           assets and equity for the period ended June 30, 1998,  were 1.45% and
           12.32%,  respectively,  compared  to 1.42%  and  13.11%  for the same
           period in 1997.

           The total assets of the Company  increased to $192.5  million at June
           30,  1998,   compared  to  $184.9   million  at  December  31,  1997,
           representing an increase of $7.6 million or 4.1%. Total loans at June
           30, 1998 was $112.0  million,  an increase of $8.8  million  from the
           December 31, 1997 balance of $103.3 million. The investment portfolio
           has  decreased  4.9% to $60.7  million at June 30,  1998  compared to
           $63.7 million at December 31, 1997.

           Shareholders'  equity  at  June  30,  1998,  totaled  $22.4  million,
           compared to $21.7 million at December 31, 1997.  Book value per share
           of common  stock on June 30,  1998 was $12.37 per share  compared  to
           $12.02 at December 31, 1997.

           Net Interest Income

           Net interest  income is the Company's  primary source of earnings and
           represents the difference between interest and fees earned on earning
           assets and the interest  expense paid on deposits and other  interest
           bearing liabilities. Net interest income totaled $4.0 million for the
           first six months of 1998 compared to $3.5 million for the same period
           in 1997. Net interest  income was  positively  affected by a 28 basis
           point increase in the net interest margin from 4.85% at June 30, 1997
           to 5.13% at June 30, 1998 and the increase in earning assets.

           Noninterest Income

           Service charges on deposit  accounts for the first six months of 1998
           totaled $463  thousand  compared to $444 thousand for the same period
           in 1997, an increase of  4.3%.  Commission  and fees  from  fiduciary
           activities  was  $471  thousand  at June  30,  1998  compared  to $42
           thousand at June 30, 1997. On August 1, 1997,  the Company  completed
           its acquisition of its second wholly owned  subsidiary,  The Tredegar
           Trust  Company  (Tredegar).  Tredegar  is an  independent  trust  and
           investment  management company which contributed 100% of the increase
           in commission and fees from fiduciary  activities.  This  acquisition
           was  accounted  for using the  purchase  method  of  accounting.  The
           Company's banking  subsidiary  opened a mortgage  department in April
           1998 which  contributed  $25  thousand to  noninterest  income in the
           second quarter of 1998.  Otherwise the Company currently derives most
           of its other noninterest income from fees on deposit related products
           and sales of non deposit investment products.

           Noninterest Expense

           In support  of the  Company's  continued  growth,  total  noninterest
           expenses  consisting of employee  related costs,  occupancy and other
           overhead  totaled  $3.2  million  for the first  six  months of 1998,
           compared to $2.3 million for the same period in 1997, representing an
           increase of $900  thousand or 37.1%.  Tredegar's  operating  expenses
           represent  54.1%  of  the  increase  in  noninterest  expense.  Other
           increases in noninterest  expense are attributable to the start up of
           the mortgage department and an increased branching network.

           Allowance for Loan Losses

           The allowance for loan losses at June 30, 1998 was $1.1 million. This
           is a $89 thousand  increase from December 31, 1997. The current ratio
           of the allowance  for loan losses to gross loans is .94%.  Management
           believes  the  allowance  for loan losses is adequate to cover credit
           losses  inherent  in the  loan  portfolio  at June  30,  1998.  Loans
           classified  as loss,  doubtful,  substandard  or special  mention are
           adequately  reserved  for  and are not  expected  to have a  material
           impact beyond what has been reserved.

           Capital Resources

           Shareholders'  equity at June 30, 1998 was $22.4 million  compared to
           $21.7  million on December 31, 1997.  The  retention of net income as
           well as the decrease in allowance for  unrealized  loss on securities
           available  for sale  have  been  contributing  factors  to  growth in
           shareholders'  equity.  During the first quarter of 1997, the Company
           did purchase and retire 22,689 shares at a cost of $635,292.

           At June 30, 1998, the Company's tier 1 and total  risk-based  capital
           ratios  were 18.6% and  19.6%,  respectively,  compared  to 18.8% and
           19.7% at December 31, 1997. The Company's leverage ratio was 11.3% at
           June 30, 1998, compared to a ratio of 11.8% at December 31, 1997. The
           Company's   capital   structure   places  it  above  the   regulatory
           guidelines,  as the Company  maintains a strong  capital base to take
           advantage of business  opportunities  while  ensuring that it has the
           resources to protect against the risks inherent in its business.

           Year 2000

           The Company  utilizes and is dependent upon data  processing  systems
           and hardware to conduct its  business.  The data  processing  systems
           include various software  packages licensed to the Company by outside
           vendors and a mainframe  processing system, which are run on in-house
           computer  networks.  All of these systems are  vulnerable to the Year
           2000 issue.

           In 1997 the Company initiated a review and assessment of all hardware
           and  software to confirm that it will  function  properly in the year
           2000.  Based on this  assessment,  the Company's  mainframe,  banking
           software and networks are currently  Year 2000 compliant or currently
           in the process of being modified.  Testing is scheduled for the third
           and fourth  quarter of 1998 to confirm this  compliance.  For certain
           other systems, the Company has replaced or modified certain pieces of
           hardware and/or  software so that the systems will properly  function
           in the year 2000. The Company anticipates  replacing and/or modifying
           other systems specifically identified which are deemed not to be year
           2000  compliant.  For systems that the Company  relies on third party
           vendors,  these vendors have been  contacted and have  indicated that
           the hardware and/or software will be Year 2000 compliant.

           The  Company  has  also  initiated  formal  communications  with  all
           significant  loan  customers  to  determine  the  extent to which the
           Company is vulnerable to those third parties' failure to remedy their
           own Year  2000  issue.  Based on these  initial  communications,  the
           Company  believes that  exposure to  significant  loan  customers not
           being Year 2000 compliant is minimal.  The Company has also developed
           a plan to  formally  communicate  on a regular  basis to its  deposit
           customers about its Year 2000 readiness.  The depositor  notification
           plan begins in the third quarter of 1998 and continues  through 1999.
           The Company  plans to complete  the majority of the Year 2000 project
           by December 31, 1998. To date, the Company has expensed approximately
           $75,000  related to the assessment of, and efforts in connection with
           the Year 2000 issue.  Remaining expenditures are not expected to have
           a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

           The cost of the project  and the date on which the  Company  plans to
           complete the Year 2000  modifications  are based on management's best
           estimates,  which were  derived  utilizing  numerous  assumptions  of
           future  events  including  the  continued   availability  of  certain
           resources, third party modification plans and other factors. However,
           there can be no guarantee  that these  estimates will be achieved and
           actual  results could differ  materially  from those plans.  Specific
           factors that might cause such material  differences  include, but are
           not limited to, the  availability of personnel  trained in this area,



<PAGE>

           the  ability of third party  vendors to correct  their  software  and
           hardware,  the ability of significant  customers to remedy their Year
           2000 issues, and similar uncertainties.

           Forward-looking Statements

           Certain   information   contained  in  this  discussion  may  include
           "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the
           Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities
           Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  These  forward-looking  statements
           are generally  identified  by phrases such as "the Company  expects,"
           "the   Company   believes"   or  words  of   similar   import.   Such
           forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks including,
           but  not  limited  to,  changes  in  general  economic  and  business
           conditions,  interest rate fluctuations,  competition within and from
           outside  the  banking  industry,  new  products  and  services in the
           banking  industry,  risk  inherent in making  loans such as repayment
           risks and fluctuating collateral values,  changing trends in customer
           profiles  and  changes  in laws  and  regulations  applicable  to the
           Company.  Although the Company  believes that its  expectations  with
           respect to the  forward-looking  statements  are based upon  reliable
           assumptions  within the bounds of its  knowledge  of its business and
           operations,   there  can  be  no  assurance   that  actual   results,
           performance or achievements of the Company will not differ materially
           from any future  results,  performance or  achievements  expressed or
           implied by such forward-looking statements.
