Item 1.  Description of Business.

Business of the Company

      SWVA Bancshares,  Inc. (the "Company") is a Virginia corporation organized
in June of 1994 at the direction of Southwest  Virginia  Savings Bank,  FSB (the
"Bank")  to  acquire  all of the  capital  stock  that  the Bank  issued  in its
conversion  from the mutual to stock form of ownership  (the  "Conversion").  On
October 7, 1994,  the Bank  completed the  Conversion  and became a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company. In connection with the Conversion, the Company issued
570,590  shares of its  Common  Stock,  par value  $.10 per share  (the  "Common
Stock").  The Company is a unitary savings and loan holding company which, under
existing laws,  generally is not restricted in the types of business  activities
in which it may engage provided that the Bank retains a specified  amount of its
assets in housing-related  investments.  At June 30, 1997, the Company had total
assets of $70.8 million and stockholders' equity of $8.6 million.

      On August 14, 1995, the Company  received the necessary  approval from the
Office of Thrift  Supervision  ("OTS") to repurchase up to 5% (or 28,529 shares)
of the Company's Common Stock prior to October 7, 1995. The Company  repurchased
27,400 shares of its Common Stock in the open market,  at an aggregate  purchase
price  of   approximately   $466,000.   The   amount   repurchased   represented
approximately  4.8% of the  Company's  total  shares  outstanding  prior  to the
repurchase.

      On June 14, 1996,  the Company  announced  that its Board of Directors had
authorized  the  Company  to  repurchase  up to 5%  (or  27,160  shares)  of its
outstanding  common  stock in the open  market by October 7, 1996.  The  Company
repurchased  22,756  shares  of its  Common  Stock  in the  open  market,  at an
aggregate  purchase  price of  approximately  $341,000.  The amount  repurchased
represented  approximately  4.2% of the Company's total shares outstanding prior
to the repurchase.

      On March 19, 1997,  the Company  received the necessary  approval from the
Office of Thrift  Supervision  ("OTS") to repurchase up to 5% (or 26,021 shares)
the  Company's  Common Stock prior to October 7, 1997.  The Company  repurchased
9,450 shares of its Common Stock in the open  market,  at an aggregate  purchase
price  of   approximately   $154,000.   The   amount   repurchased   represented
approximately  1.8% of the  Company's  total  shares  outstanding  prior  to the
repurchase.



Business of the Bank

      General.  The Bank is primarily  engaged in  attracting  deposits from the
general  public and using those funds to originate  real estate loans on one- to
four-family residences and, to a lesser extent,  construction,  multi-family and
non-residential  real estate  loans,  commercial  loans and consumer  loans.  In
addition,   the  Bank  invests  in  investment  securities  and  mortgage-backed
securities.  The Bank offers its  customers  both ARMs and  fixed-rate  mortgage
loans.  ARMs are  originated  for retention in the Bank's  portfolio.  In recent
years, the Bank sold fixed rate mortgage loans upon origination in the secondary
market. Depending on the level of prevailing interest rates, the Bank may retain
fixed rate mortgage  loans in its portfolio.  Management of the Bank  determines
whether to retain  fixed rate  mortgage  loans in its  portfolio on the basis of
whether the interest rate  received on the loan would  possibly be beneficial to
the  profitability  of the Bank's loan  portfolio  over the average  life of the
loan. All consumer loans are retained in the Bank's portfolio.



<PAGE>



      The  principal  sources of funds for the  Bank's  lending  activities  are
deposits and the  amortization,  repayment and maturity of loans and  investment
and  mortgage-backed  securities.  The  Bank's  primary  sources  of income  are
interest and fees on loans and  investment  and  mortgage-backed  securities and
customer  service fees and  commissions.  The Bank's primary expense is interest
paid on deposits.

      Market Area. The Bank's  primary  market area consists of Roanoke  County,
the City of Salem, the City of Roanoke, and portions of Botetourt,  Bedford, and
Franklin  Counties.  The Bank regards this area as its "basic" lending area, but
loans are also made in other adjoining counties.

      The Bank's main office is located at 302 Second Street,  S.W., in the City
of  Roanoke,  Virginia.  The Bank has one branch  office  located in the City of
Roanoke.  The Bank has another  branch and a loan  production  office located in
Roanoke County, as well as branch offices in Vinton and Salem, Virginia.

      The Roanoke  Valley is  equidistant  from New York and Atlanta,  230 miles
south of  Washington,  D.C.  and 250 miles  west of the Port of  Hampton  Roads,
Virginia.  The  population  in the Roanoke  Valley area has remained  relatively
stable over the past thirty  years and was  269,100  according  to the 1990 U.S.
Census.  The Roanoke  Valley  area enjoys a  diversified  economy  comprised  of
services, retail,  manufacturing,  government offices, finance,  insurance, real
estate, wholesale trade,  transportation,  public utilities,  construction,  and
agriculture.

      The outlying  region of the Bank's  market area is rural in nature and may
represent  limited  opportunities  for lending and investment growth which could
adversely  affect the Bank's  ability to achieve asset  growth.  The Bank is the
only savings bank  headquartered  in the Roanoke Valley area.  This area is also
served by branch offices of regional commercial banks.

Lending Activities

      General.  The principal lending activity of the Bank is the origination of
adjustable-rate  mortgage loans,  fixed rate mortgage loans and short-term loans
secured by one- to four-family residences.  These fixed-rate and adjustable rate
loans are generally  underwritten to conform to standards  required for the sale
of such loans in the secondary  mortgage  market.  A majority of these loans are
sold  in the  secondary  market  at the  time  of  origination.  The  Bank  also
originates  some  nonconforming  first mortgage loans to serve  community  needs
which are retained in the Banks's portfolio.  Adjustable-rate  mortgage ("ARMs")
loans  comprised  65.15% of total loans  outstanding  on June 30, 1997.  For the
fiscal  year ended June 30, 1997  adjustable-rate  loans  represented  34.65% of
total mortgage loan  originations.  The Bank also originates  nonresidential and
multi-family  real estate  loans.  To a much lesser  extent,  the Bank  provides
financing for  construction  loans,  commercial  loans,  home equity loans,  and
consumer loans.  Mortgage loans over $350,000  require  approval of the Board of
Directors.  The Bank uses OTS guidelines as to loan limits.  See "- Loans to One
Borrower." The Bank will continue to strive to increase its consumer  lending on
a conservative  basis.  Consumer loans offer income  enhancement  through higher
yields  and  shorter  terms and tend to reprice  on a more  frequent  basis than
long-term  mortgage loans.  The Bank has made a limited amount of these types of
loans on what management  believes is a  conservatively  underwritten  basis and
intends to continue  these types of lending to meet the area's  credit  needs as
well  as to  provide  the  Bank  with  short-to  intermediate-term  investments.
Consumer loans over $200,000 require  approval of the Board of Directors.  As of
June 30, 1997, the Bank's total  portfolio of loans (the "loan  portfolio")  was
$52.9  million,  of which  $39.6  million,  or  74.86%,  was  secured by one- to
four-family  residential real estate loans, $5.0 million or 9.41% was made up of
multi-family   residential   loans,   $2.5  million  or  4.77%  was  secured  by
non-residential  real  estate  and land  loans,  and $3.5  million or 6.69% were
secured by  construction  loans.  At June 30, 1997, the Bank had $2.3 million in
consumer and other loans.

      One- to Four-Family Residential Loans. The Bank's primary lending activity
consists of the origination of one- to four-family, owner-occupied,  residential
mortgage loans secured by property located in the Bank's primary market area. At
June 30, 1997,  the Bank had $39.6  million,  or 74.86%,  of its loan  portfolio
invested  in these  loans.  The Bank also  offers  home  equity  lines of credit
secured by one- to four-family  residential properties which are discussed below
under "-- Consumer and Other  Loans."  Management  believes  that this policy of
focusing on one- to four-family  lending has been effective in  contributing  to
net interest income while reducing credit risk by keeping loan delinquencies and
losses to a minimum.

      The Bank  offers  ARMs that  adjust  every year and have terms of up to 30
years.  Generally,  the interest rate  adjustments  on ARMs are based on the one
year  Treasury  bill index.  These ARMs have interest rate floors of 6%, so that
the interest rate on such loans cannot adjust below such floors. However, during
the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997, the Bank  originated  some ARMs at interest
rates up to .50% below such floors, although the initial rates are not below the
Bank's costs of funds and do not lead to negative amortization of the balance on
such loans.  The ARMs  originated for the Bank's  portfolio  carry interest rate
ceilings  up to 5.00%  above the initial  interest  rate on the loans.  The Bank
considers the market factors and  competitive  rates on loans as well as its own
cost of funds when determining the rates on the loans that it offers.

      The retention of ARMs in the Bank's portfolio  greatly helps to reduce the
Bank's exposure to changes in interest rates. However,  there are unquantifiable
credit  risks  which  could  result  from  potential  increased  payments to the
borrower  as a result of the  repricing  of ARMs.  It is  possible  that  during
periods  of  rapidly  rising  interest  rates,  the risk of  default on ARMs may
increase  due to  the  upward  adjustment  of  interest  cost  to the  borrower.
Currently, the ARMs originated by the Bank provide for initial rates of interest
less than the fully  indexed  rates that would  prevail  were the index used for
repricing  applied  initially.  These  loans are  subject to  increased  risk of
delinquency  or  default  when  the  higher,   fully-indexed  rate  of  interest
subsequently comes into effect and replaces the lower initial rate.


      Generally, during periods of rising interest rates, the risk of default on
ARMs is considered  to be greater than the risk of default on a fixed-rate  loan
due to the upward  adjustment of interest costs to the borrower.  To help reduce
such risk,  the Bank  qualifies  loans  above 80%  loan-to-value  at the maximum
second year rate, as opposed to the original  interest rate. ARMs may be made at
up to 95% of the loan to value  ratio.  The Bank  does not  originate  ARMs with
negative amortization.

      The Bank also offers  conventional  fixed-rate  mortgage  loans with terms
from 15 to 30 years.  A majority of the 15 to 30 year  fixed-rate  mortgages are
sold in the secondary mortgage market.

      Regulations  limit  the  amount  which a savings  association  may lend in
relationship  to the  appraised  value of the real estate  securing the loan, as
determined  by an appraisal at the time of loan  origination.  Such  regulations
permit a maximum  loan-to-value  ratio of 100% for residential  property and 90%
for all other real estate loans. The Bank's lending policies, however, generally
limit  the  maximum  loan-to-value  ratio to 80% of the  appraised  value of the
property, based on an independent appraisal. When the Bank makes a mortgage loan
in excess of 80% of the  appraised  value or purchase  price,  private  mortgage
insurance  is  required  for at least the amount of the loan in excess of 80% of
the appraised value.

      The loan-to-value ratio,  maturity and other provisions of the residential
real estate loans made by the Bank reflect the policy of making loans  generally
below the  maximum  limits  permitted  under  applicable  regulations.  The Bank
requires an independent  appraisal,  title  insurance or an attorney's  opinion,
flood hazard insurance (if applicable),  and fire and casualty  insurance on all
properties  securing  real estate loans made by the Bank.  The Bank reserves the
right to approve the selection of which title insurance  companies' policies are
acceptable to insure the real estate title in the loan transactions.

      While one- to  four-family  residential  real  estate  loans are  normally
originated with 15-30 year terms,  such loans typically  remain  outstanding for
substantially  shorter  periods.  This is because  borrowers  often prepay their
loans in full upon sale of the property  pledged as security or upon refinancing
the original loan. In addition,  substantially  all of the mortgage loans in the
Bank's loan portfolio  contain  due-on-sale  clauses providing that the Bank may
declare the unpaid amount due and

                                        5

<PAGE>



payable upon the sale of the property securing the loan. The Bank enforces these
due-on-sale  clauses to the extent permitted by law. Thus, average loan maturity
is a function of, among other  factors,  the level of purchase and sale activity
in the real estate  market,  prevailing  interest  rates and the interest  rates
payable on outstanding loans.

      Multi-Family and  Non-residential  Real Estate Loans. The Bank in the past
has originated non-residential real estate and multi-family loans; however, this
type of lending  represents a small  portion of the Bank's  lending  activities.
There were no  non-residential  real estate loans  originated  during the fiscal
year ended June 30,  1997.  During the same  period,  the bank  originated  $2.1
million in multi-family loans At June 30, 1997 outstanding  non-residential real
estate  and  multi-family  loans  amounted  to $2.5  million  and $5.0  million,
respectively.

      Non-residential  real estate loans  consist of permanent  loans secured by
small office buildings,  churches,  shopping centers, and other  non-residential
buildings  secured by properties.  Non-residential  real estate and multi-family
secured  loans are  generally  originated  in amounts up to 75% of the appraised
value of the property.  Such  appraised  value is  determined by an  independent
appraiser which has been previously approved by the Bank. Multi-family loans are
generally secured by apartment buildings of 36 or fewer units.

      Non-residential   real  estate  and   multi-family   loans  are  generally
originated  on  an  adjustable-rate  basis  with  the  interest  rate  adjusting
annually.  Some of these  loans have an  interest  rate that is fixed for two to
three  years and then  adjusts  annually.  The Bank also  makes  some fixed rate
non-residential real estate and multi-family mortgages.

      Loans secured by multi-family  and  non-residential  real estate generally
involve a greater  degree of risk than one- to  four-family  mortgage  loans and
carry larger loan balances.  This  increased  credit risk is a result of several
factors,  including the  concentration of principal in a limited number of loans
and borrowers,  the effects of general  economic  conditions on income producing
properties and the increased difficulty of evaluating and monitoring these types
of loans.  Furthermore,  the repayment of loans secured by  non-residential  and
multi-family real estate is typically dependent upon the successful operation or
management of the related real estate project. If the cash flow from the project
is reduced,  the borrower's ability to repay the loan may be impaired.  The Bank
seeks to minimize these risks in a variety of ways,  including limiting the size
of such loans and strictly scrutinizing the financial condition of the borrower,
the quality of the collateral  and the  management of the property  securing the
loan.  The Bank  also  obtains  personal  guarantees.  Substantially  all of the
properties  securing the Bank's  non-residential  and  multi-family  real estate
loans are inspected by the Bank's lending personnel before the loan is made. The
Bank also obtains  appraisals  on each property in  accordance  with  applicable
regulations.  At June 30, 1997, the largest non-residential or multi-family real
estate  loan had a balance  of $1.1  million  and was  secured  by  multi-family
apartments and was performing. See "-- Loans to One Borrower."

      Construction  Lending.  The Bank engages in construction lending involving
loans to qualified borrowers for construction of one- to four-family residential
properties and, on a limited basis,  involving  non-residential and multi-family
properties. These properties are located in the Bank's market area.

      Construction  loans are made to  builders  on a  speculative  basis and to
owners  for  construction  of their  primary  residence.  Loans for  speculative
housing construction are made to area builders after a background check has been
made.  The  Bank  usually  will  have  no  more  than  four  construction  loans
outstanding  at any time to any single  builder.  Construction  loans on one- to
four-family properties are generally limited to a maximum loan-to-value ratio of
80%  and  have  a  maximum  maturity  of  12  months.   Construction   loans  on
non-residential and multi-family properties are generally limited to a maximum

                                        6

<PAGE>



loan-to-value  ratio of 75% and  have a  maximum  maturity  of 18  months.  Loan
proceeds are disbursed in increments as construction progresses and only after a
physical  inspection  of the  project is made by a  representative  of the Bank.
Accrued interest on loan  disbursements  is paid monthly.  At June 30, 1997, the
Bank had $1.3  million  in  construction  loans  outstanding  to  builders  on a
speculative  basis,  with $1.1 million in loans in process (funds being held for
construction progress) outstanding and attributed to these loans.

      Construction loans to owners have either fixed or adjustable rates and are
underwritten  in accordance  with the same terms and  requirements as the Bank's
permanent  mortgages on existing properties except that the builder must qualify
as an  approved  contractor  by the Bank,  and the loans  generally  provide for
disbursement  of loan  proceeds in stages  during the  construction  period.  An
approved  contractor is one who has been approved by a title  insurance  company
that will insure the Bank against  mechanics'  liens or whose credit,  financial
statements and experience have been approved by the Bank. Borrowers are required
to  pay  accrued  interest  on  the  outstanding   balance  monthly  during  the
construction  phase.  At June  30,  1997,  there  was  $819,000  outstanding  in
construction  loans to owners  with  $469,000  outstanding  in loans in  process
allocated to these  projects.  There were no  construction  loans  originated on
nonresidential and multi-family properties during the fiscal year ended June 30,
1997.  The  Bank  originated  $5.1  million  in  construction  loans  on one- to
four-family properties during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997.

      Construction  financing is generally considered to involve a higher degree
of risk of loss than long-term financing on improved, occupied real estate. Risk
of loss on a  construction  loan is  dependent  largely upon the accuracy of the
initial  estimate of the  property's  value at  completion  of  construction  or
development and the estimated cost (including interest) of construction.  During
the  construction  phase,  a number of factors  could  result in delays and cost
overruns.  If the estimate of construction cost proves to be inaccurate,  it may
be  necessary  for the  Bank to  advance  funds  beyond  the  amount  originally
committed to permit  completion  of the  construction.  If the estimate of value
proves to be inaccurate, the Bank may be confronted, at or prior to the maturity
of the loan, with collateral having a value which is insufficient to assure full
repayment. As a result of the foregoing, construction lending often involves the
disbursement  of  substantial  funds with repayment  dependent,  in part, on the
success of the project.  If the Bank is forced to foreclose on a property  prior
to or at completion  due to a default,  there can be no assurance  that the Bank
will be able to recover all of the unpaid  balance of, and accrued  interest on,
the loan as well as related  foreclosure and holding costs.  The Bank has sought
to minimize this risk by limiting construction lending to qualified borrowers in
the  Bank's  market  area and by  limiting  the  number  of  construction  loans
outstanding at any time.

      Consumer and Other Loans.  The Bank views consumer lending as an important
component  of its lending  operations  because  consumer  loans  generally  have
shorter terms and higher yields,  thus reducing  exposure to changes in interest
rates.  In addition,  the Bank believes that  offering  consumer  loans helps to
expand and create stronger ties to its customer base. Consequently, the Bank has
increased  its consumer  lending by marketing  home equity loans to existing and
potential customers. Regulations permit federally-chartered savings associations
to make secured and unsecured  consumer loans up to 35% of the Bank's assets. In
addition,  the Bank has  lending  authority  above  the 35%  limit  for  certain
consumer  loans,  such as home  improvement  loans and loans  secured by savings
accounts.

      Consumer   loans  consist  of  personal   secured  and  unsecured   loans,
automobile,  boat and recreational  vehicle loans,  savings account loans,  home
improvement  and home equity loans.  As of June 30, 1997,  these  consumer loans
totaled $2.1 million, or 3.97%, of the Bank's total loan portfolio.
The Bank makes fixed and adjustable rate consumer loans.


                                        7

<PAGE>



      The Bank also offers a home  equity  line of credit,  which is a revolving
line of credit secured by a first or second mortgage, and which is accessible to
the  customer  by either  writing a check or  requesting  an advance at a branch
office of the Bank. The rate on such loans is adjustable  monthly,  based on the
Wall Street  Journal  prime rate plus 1.5%,  with a floor of 6% and a ceiling of
18%.

      The underwriting standards employed by the Bank for consumer loans include
a  determination  of the  applicant's  payment  history  on other  debts  and an
assessment of ability to meet existing  obligations and payments on the proposed
loan. In addition,  the stability of the applicant's monthly income from primary
employment is considered during the underwriting  process.  Creditworthiness  of
the applicant is of primary  consideration;  however,  the underwriting  process
also includes a comparison of the value of the security,  if any, in relation to
the proposed loan amount.

      The  Bank  is   allowed  to  make   secured   and   unsecured   loans  for
nonresidential,  corporate,  business and agricultural  purposes,  including the
issuance  of  letters  of credit  secured by real  estate,  business  equipment,
inventories,  accounts  receivable and cash equivalents in amounts not exceeding
10% of the Bank's assets.  Non-real  estate  commercial  lending by the Bank has
been limited.  These loans have generally been made to building  contractors and
small  business  operations.  Letters of credit  have  mostly  been  provided to
contractors  for use in land  development.  The letters of credit have generally
been secured by real estate and contain personal guarantees of the principals of
the borrowing entity.

      The aggregate  amount of commercial  business  loans  outstanding  may not
exceed 10% of the Bank's assets. In addition, another 10% of total assets may be
invested in commercial  equipment leasing. As of June 30, 1997, $163,000 or .30%
of the Bank's loan portfolio was categorized as commercial business loans.

      Consumer  and  commercial   loans  entail  greater  credit  risk  than  do
residential mortgage loans,  particularly in the case of consumer and commercial
loans which are unsecured or secured by assets that depreciate rapidly, which in
the  case of  consumer  loans  include  automobiles,  mobile  homes,  boats  and
recreational  vehicles  and in the case of  commercial  loans  include  business
equipment,  inventories  and  accounts  receivable.  In such cases,  repossessed
collateral  for a  defaulted  consumer  or  commercial  loan may not  provide an
adequate  source  of  repayment  for the  outstanding  loan  and  the  remaining
deficiency often does not warrant further substantial collection efforts against
the borrower.  In  particular,  amounts  realizable  on the sale of  repossessed
automobiles or business  equipment may be  significantly  reduced based upon the
condition  of the  collateral  and the lack of demand  for used  automobiles  or
business equipment.

      Loan Solicitation, Approval and Processing. The Bank's sources of mortgage
loan  applications  are referrals from existing or past  customers,  real estate
brokers,  call-in and  walk-in  customers,  builders  and also are the result of
advertising.

      Any mortgage or construction  loan up to $250,000 is reviewed and approved
by the  Management  Loan  Committee.  Any  mortgage  or  construction  loan over
$250,000 up to $350,000 is reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors' Loan
Committee.  The Board of Directors'  Loan  Committee  reviews loans in excess of
$350,000 to be submitted to the Board of Directors for its approval.

      Consumer  and  commercial  loans  may  be  approved  by two  officers  for
unsecured loans up to $25,000 and for secured loans up to $100,000.  The maximum
consumer  or  commercial  loan to be  approved  by the Board of  Directors  Loan
Committee is $200,000 with any loans  exceeding that amount  requiring  Board of
Directors approval.

      The Bank  uses  independent  fee  appraisers  on all real  estate  related
transactions.  Each fee appraiser  used must be state  licensed or certified and
approved by the Bank's  Board of  Directors.  It is the Bank's  policy to obtain
title insurance or an attorney's opinion and certification of title and fire and
casualty  insurance  for all  mortgage  loans.  Flood  insurance is required for
properties located in flood zones.

      Loan  Purchases  and  Sales.  Prior to 1990 the  Bank's  loan  sales  were
insignificant.  Any loans  sold  were  individual  loans  with  other  financial
institutions.  The Bank began  originating loans to sell in the secondary market
in 1990. In March 1992, the Bank opened a loan  production  office separate from
its  banking  facilities  to  concentrate  more  activity  for loan sales in the
secondary  market.  The Bank originates  mostly fixed-rate loans for sale in the
secondary  market.  These  loans  include  15  to  30  year,  80%  loan-to-value
conventional  loans (the portion of the loans above 80% are insured with private
mortgage  insurance),  Federal  Housing  Administration  ("FHA")  and  Veteran's
Administration  ("VA") loans.  The Bank uses standard Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corporation("FHLMC")/Federal     National    Mortgage    Association    ("FNMA")
documentation for its conventional  loans. During the fiscal year ended June 30,
1997, the Bank sold a total of $10.1 million of mortgage loans.


                                        9

<PAGE>



      Currently,  the Bank sells  loans to other  lenders  who sell  directly to
FHLMC, FNMA and Government  National  Mortgage  Association  ("GNMA").  The Bank
sells the majority of its loans with  servicing  released.  These loans are sold
without recourse.

      During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997,  the Bank  purchased  loans in
the amount of $22,000.

      Loan Commitments. The Bank issues loan commitments for 60 days or less. No
points  are  normally  charged  for these  commitments.  The Bank will  consider
extended  commitment periods and may charge fees based on the length and type of
commitment.  At June 30,  1997,  the Bank had $3.0  million  of  commitments  to
finance real estate  acquisitions  and  construction  and had contracted to sell
$1.1 million of such loans.

      Loan  Processing  and Servicing  Fees.  In addition to interest  earned on
loans,  the Bank recognizes fees and service charges which consist  primarily of
fees  charged  for loan  originations  and loans  serviced  for  others and late
charges.  The Bank recognized loan servicing fees of $45,000 for the fiscal year
ended June 30,  1997.  As of June 30,  1997,  the Bank had  $14,000 of loan fees
deferred  under GAAP.  As of June 30,  1997,  loans  serviced  for the  Virginia
Housing Development  Authority ("VHDA") totalled $583,000 and loans serviced for
FHLMC totalled $379,000.

      Loans to One Borrower. Savings associations are subject to the same limits
as those  applicable to national banks,  which under current  regulations  limit
loans-to-one  borrower  in an  amount  equal to 15% of  unimpaired  capital  and
retained income on an unsecured  basis and an additional  amount equal to 10% of
unimpaired  capital  and  retained  income  if the loan is  secured  by  readily
marketable collateral  (generally,  financial  instruments,  not real estate) or
$500,000, whichever is higher. The Bank's maximum loan-to-one borrower limit was
approximately $1.2 million as of June 30, 1997.

      The Bank's  largest  group of loans to one  borrower  at June 30, 1997 was
$1.2 million which consisted of loans secured by single family homes,  developed
building lots, land and a mobile home park. The second largest group of loans to
one borrower was $1.1 million which  consisted of loans secured by single family
homes, both completed and under  construction,  and developed building lots. The
next largest group of loans to one borrower was $1.1 million which  consisted of
loans secured by single family homes and apartments.

      Loan  Delinquencies.  Loans  past due more  than 90 days are  individually
examined  for  potential  losses and the ultimate  collectibility  of funds due.
Loans are deemed to have no loss exposure if the value of the property  securing
the loan exceeds the  receivable  balance on the loan or collection is probable.
Such loans are kept on an accruing status pending monthly review. Loans that are
deemed  to  contain  a  potential  loss  exposure  to the  Bank  are  placed  on
non-accrual  status  by the Bank  and all  interest  past  due on such  loans is
reserved.  Specific reserves are established to recognize losses on non-accruing
loans on a case-by-case basis.

      Real estate  acquired by the Bank as a result of foreclosure or by deed in
lieu of foreclosure  is classified as foreclosed  real estate until such time as
it is sold. When foreclosed real estate is acquired, it is recorded at the lower
of fair value or cost.  Valuations are periodically  performed by management and
subsequent  charges to income are taken when it is determined  that the carrying
value of the property exceeds the fair value less estimated costs to sell.

      Classified Assets. The Office of Thrift  Supervision  ("OTS")  regulations
provide for a classification  system for problem assets of insured  institutions
which  covers all problem  assets.  Under this  classification  system,  problem
assets of insured  institutions are classified as "substandard,"  "doubtful," or
"loss." An asset is considered  "substandard" if it is inadequately protected by
the  current net worth and paying  capacity of the obligor or of the  collateral
pledged,  if  any.  "Substandard"  assets  include  those  characterized  by the
"distinct  possibility" that the insured institution will sustain "some loss" if
the deficiencies are not corrected.  Assets classified as "doubtful" have all of
the  weaknesses  inherent  in those  classified  "substandard,"  with the  added
characteristic  that the weaknesses  present make  "collection or liquidation in
full," on the basis of currently existing facts,  conditions and values, "highly
questionable and improbable."  Assets  classified as "loss" are those considered
"uncollectible"  and of such  little  value  that  their  continuance  as assets
without the  establishment  of a specific loss reserve is not warranted.  Assets
designated  "special  mention" by management  are assets  included on the Bank's
internal  watchlist  because of potential  weakness  but which do not  currently
warrant classification in one of the aforementioned categories.

      When  an  insured   institution   classifies   problem  assets  as  either
substandard or doubtful,  it may establish general  allowances for credit losses
in an amount deemed prudent by  management.  General  allowances  represent loss
allowances which have been established to recognize the inherent risk associated
with lending activities,  but which, unlike specific  allowances,  have not been
allocated to particular problem assets. When an insured  institution  classifies
problem  assets as  "loss,"  it is  required  either  to  establish  a  specific
provision for losses equal to 100% of that portion of the asset so classified or
to  charge  off  such  amount.   An   institution's   determination  as  to  the
classification  of its  assets  and the amount of its  valuation  allowances  is
subject  to  review  by the  OTS,  which  may  recommend  the  establishment  of
additional  general or  specific  loss  allowances.  A portion  of general  loss
allowances  established to cover possible losses related to assets classified as
substandard  or  doubtful  may  be  included  in  determining  an  institution's
regulatory  capital,  while  specific  valuation  allowances  for credit  losses
generally do not qualify as regulatory  capital. At June 30, 1997 the Bank had a
general credit loss allowance of $217,000.

      On June 30, 1997,  the Bank had  approximately  $548,000 of problem loans,
$519,000 of which were reported as  "Substandard."  All of these were on one- to
four-family  residential loans. $23,000 of a loan on a duplex loan in the amount
of $46,000 was reported as "doubtful" and one $6,000 letter of credit secured by
one- to four-family residential loan was classified as "loss".

      The following  table  provides  further  information  regarding the Bank's
classified assets and allowances for credit losses at June 30, 1997.

      Foreclosed  Real Estate.  Real estate  acquired by the Bank as a result of
foreclosure,  judgment  or by  deed  in lieu of  foreclosure  is  classified  as
foreclosed  real  estate  until it is sold.  When  property  is  acquired  it is
recorded  at the lower of the cost or fair  value.  The Bank held no  foreclosed
real estate at June 30, 1997.

      Allowances for Credit Losses. The Bank provides  valuation  allowances for
estimated losses from uncollectible loans.  Management's  periodic evaluation of
the adequacy of the  allowance  for credit  losses is based on loss  experience,
known and inherent risk in the  portfolio,  prevailing  market  conditions,  and
management's  judgment as to collectibility.  The allowance for credit losses is
increased  by  charges  to  earnings  and  decreased  by  charge-offs   (net  of
recoveries).

      The following table sets forth the Bank's  allowance for credit losses and
related ratios.

Investment and Mortgage-backed Securities Activities

      Investment  Securities.  The Bank is required under federal regulations to
maintain a minimum  amount of liquid  assets  which may be invested in specified
short-term  securities  and certain  other  investments.  The Bank has generally
maintained  a liquidity  portfolio  well in excess of  regulatory  requirements.
Liquidity  levels may be  increased or  decreased  depending  upon the yields on
investment  alternatives and upon management's judgment as to the attractiveness
of the  yields  then  available  in  relation  to  other  opportunities  and its
expectation of future yield levels,  as well as  management's  projections as to
the short-term  demand for funds to be used in the Bank's loan  origination  and
other  activities.  At June 30,  1997,  the Bank  had an  investment  securities
portfolio  of  approximately  $15.8  million,   consisting   primarily  of  U.S.
government and agency  obligations,  interest bearing deposits,  FHLB stock, and
marketable  equity  securities.  The Bank will  continue  to seek  high  quality
investment  securities  with short to  intermediate  maturities from one to five
years for liquidity purposes.  The Bank seeks high quality investment securities
up to 30 years in maturity.

      Effective July 1, 1994, the Bank adopted  Financial  Accounting  Standards
Board Statement 115 ("FASB 115"),  "Accounting  for certain  Investments in Debt
and Equity  Securities,"  which resulted in the  reclassification  of investment
securities  and  mortgage-backed  securities  into those which are available for
sale and those which are intended to be held to maturity. The unrealized gain or
loss on the securities classified as available for sale, along with those of the
marketable  equity  securities,  are recognized,  net of the expected income tax
effect, as a separate component of retained earnings.

      The  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  (FASB)  voted to allow  each
institution to reconsider the  classification  of investments per FASB 115 after
November 15, 1995 and before the presentation of the December 31, 1995 financial
reports,  without "tainting" any assets which remained in that category.  During
this  period,  the  Bank  removed  $1.2  million  from  "held to  maturity"  and
reclassified them to the "available for sale" category.

                                       13

<PAGE>




      Beginning  in  1992,  the  Bank  expanded  its  investment   portfolio  to
incorporate ARM Mutual Funds,  primarily  short-term  investments.  These funds,
which  primarily  invest in  adjustable  rate  mortgage-backed  securities,  are
available  for sale and  marked  to  market  at the end of each  month  with all
adjustments  in value  reported to the Board of Directors  monthly.  At June 30,
1997, the Bank had $1.0 million or 6.36% of its investment  portfolio in the ARM
Mutual Funds.


      Mortgage-backed   Securities.   The  Bank   has  in  the  past   purchased
mortgage-backed  securities  guaranteed by participation  certificates issued by
the FHLMC and secured by interests in pools of conventional mortgages originated
by the  Bank.  These  mortgage  backed  securities  are  classified  as "held to
maturity".

      Mortgage-backed   securities   are   secured  by   interest  in  pools  of
conventional  mortgages or government  backed mortgage loans originated by other
mortgage lenders.  The Bank may purchase  mortgage-backed  securities from FNMA,
GNMA and FHLMC and generally classifies them as "available for sale". During the
year  ended  June  30,   1997,   the  Bank   purchased   $2.0  million  in  FNMA
mortgage-backed securities.

      Mortgage-backed  securities  provide for monthly payments of principal and
interest and generally have contractual  maturities  ranging from five to thirty
years.  However,  due to expected repayment terms being  significantly less than
the underlying mortgage loan pool contractual maturities, the estimated lives of
these securities could be significantly shorter.

      As of June 30, 1997,  mortgage-backed  securities amounted to $2.3 million
or 3.27% of total assets.

Sources of Funds

   General.  The  major  source  of the  Bank's  funds  for  lending  and  other
investment  purposes are  deposits,  amortization  and  prepayment  of loans and
mortgage-backed securities,  maturities of investment securities and operations.
Scheduled  loan principal  repayments  are a relatively  stable source of funds,
while  deposit  inflows and  outflows  and loan  prepayments  are  significantly
influenced by general  interest rates and market  conditions.  The Bank has also
utilized advances from the FHLB of Atlanta.

   Deposits.  Customer deposits are attracted principally from within the Bank's
primary  market  area  through  the  offering  of a broad  selection  of deposit
instruments including  noninterest-bearing  demand deposit accounts,  negotiable
order of withdrawal  ("NOW")  accounts,  regular  savings,  money market deposit
accounts,  term certificate  accounts,  individual  retirement accounts ("IRAs")
with fixed and variable  rates of interest and club  accounts.  Deposit  account
terms vary according to the minimum balance required,  the time period the funds
must remain on deposit and the interest rate.

   The interest  rates paid by the Bank on deposits are set at the  direction of
the asset/liability committee which consists of senior management.  The interest
rates on deposit  account  products are  determined by evaluating  the following
factors: (i) the Bank's anticipated need for cash and the timing of that desired
cash  flow;   (ii)  the  interest   rates  offered  by  other  local   financial
institutions,  and the degree of competition the Bank wishes to maintain;  (iii)
the cost of borrowing  from other  sources  versus the cost of  acquiring  funds
through customer deposits;  and (iv) the Bank's  anticipation of future economic
conditions and related interest rates.

   The Bank relies primarily on its service and longstanding  relationship  with
customers to obtain  deposits and does not accept brokered  deposits.  It is not
the general policy of the Bank to offer premiums to attract deposits.  It is the
intent of the Bank's  management to increase  deposits  through  advertising and
marketing.  Products  emphasized  are  checking  accounts  and  certificates  of
deposit.

   Noninterest-bearing  demand  deposit  accounts,  NOW  accounts,  money market
accounts, regular savings and club accounts constituted $15.7 million, or 27.11%
of the Bank's deposit portfolio at June 30, 1997. At that date,  certificates of
deposit constituted $42.2 million or 72.89% of the deposit portfolio,  including
certificates  of deposit  with  principal  amounts of  $100,000  or more,  which
constituted $5.1 million or 8.84% of the deposit  portfolio.  The Bank generally
negotiates retail rates for certificates of deposit of $95,000 or more.

      Borrowings. Deposits are the primary source of funds of the Bank's lending
and investment  activities and for its general business  purposes.  The Bank may
also obtain advances from the FHLB of

                                       18

<PAGE>



Atlanta to  supplement  its supply of lendable  funds and to use for  investment
activities.  Advances from the FHLB of Atlanta  would  typically be secured by a
pledge of the Bank's  stock in the FHLB of  Atlanta  and a portion of the Bank's
first mortgage loans and certain other assets. The Bank, if the need arises, may
also access the Federal Reserve Bank discount window to supplement its supply of
lendable funds and to meet deposit  withdrawal  requirements.  At June 30, 1997,
the Bank had $3.5  million in  outstanding  advances  from FHLB.  The Bank had a
$850,000 note payable due to the Company at June 30, 1997.

Competition

      The Bank encounters strong  competition both in the attraction of deposits
and  origination of real estate and other loans.  Competition for deposits comes
primarily from numerous credit unions, commercial banks and savings institutions
with offices in the Bank's market area.  Competition  for loans comes  primarily
from branches of  commercial  banks and mortgage  companies  that operate in the
areas which comprise the Bank's primary market area. Due to their size,  many of
the Bank's competitors  possess greater financial and marketing  resources.  The
Bank competes for savings accounts by offering depositors  competitive  interest
rates  and a high  level of  personal  service.  The  Bank  competes  for  loans
primarily through the interest rates and loan fees it charges and the efficiency
and  quality  of  services  it  provides  borrowers,  real  estate  brokers  and
contractors.

      Thrift institutions can offer a wide range of services to the public, such
as demand deposits,  trust services and consumer and commercial  lending.  These
factors, combined with increasingly sophisticated depositors,  have dramatically
increased  competition for savings dollars among thrift  institutions  and other
types of  investment  entities,  as well as with  commercial  banks in regard to
loans,  checking  accounts and other types of financial  services.  In addition,
large  conglomerates  and  investment  banking  firms  compete in the market for
financial services.

Subsidiary Activity

      The Bank is  permitted  to  invest up to 2% of its  assets in the  capital
stock of, or secured or unsecured  loans to,  subsidiary  corporations,  with an
additional  investment  of 1% of  assets  when  such  additional  investment  is
utilized primarily for community development  purposes.  Under such limitations,
as of June 30, 1997, the Bank was authorized to invest up to approximately  $1.4
million in the stock of, or loans to,  service  corporations  (based upon the 2%
limitation). As of June 30, 1997, the net book value of the Bank's investment in
its service corporation was approximately $13,000.

      The Bank has one subsidiary,  Southwest Virginia Service Corporation, Inc.
which was incorporated in 1975 in the Commonwealth of Virginia and is engaged in
the sale of annuities.  The service  corporation  previously offered credit life
and  disability  insurance to the  borrowers  of the Bank.  The income from this
subsidiary was $1,000 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997.

Employees

      As of June 30, 1997, the Bank had 30 full-time employees and one part-time
employee.  None  of  the  Bank's  employees  are  represented  by  a  collective
bargaining  group. The Bank believes that its relationship with its employees is
good.

Regulation

      Set forth below is a brief  description  of certain laws which are related
to the  regulation of the Company and the Bank. The following  description  does
not purport to be complete  and is qualified in its entirety by reference to all
applicable laws and regulations.

Company Regulation

      General. The Company is a unitary savings and loan holding company subject
to regulatory oversight by the OTS. As such, the Company is required to register
and file reports with the OTS and is subject to regulation  and  examination  by
the OTS. In addition, the OTS has enforcement authority over the Company and its
non-savings association subsidiaries,  should such subsidiaries be formed, which
also permits the OTS to restrict or prohibit  activities  that are determined to
be a serious risk to the subsidiary  savings  association.  This  regulation and
oversight is intended primarily for the protection of the depositors of the Bank
and not for the benefit of stockholders of the Company.

      Qualified  Thrift  Lender  Test.  As a unitary  savings  and loan  holding
company, the Company generally is not subject to activity restrictions, provided
the Bank  satisfies  the Qualified  Thrift  Lender  ("QTL") test. If the Company
acquires  control of another savings  association as a separate  subsidiary,  it
would become a multiple savings and loan holding company,  and the activities of
the  Company  and any of its  subsidiaries  (other  than the  Bank or any  other
SAIF-insured   savings   association)   would  become  subject  to  restrictions
applicable to bank holding  companies unless such other  associations  each also
qualify as a QTL and were acquired in a supervisory acquisition.

      Restrictions  on  Acquisitions.  The Company must obtain approval from the
OTS  before  acquiring  control  of any  other  SAIF-insured  association.  Such
acquisitions  are generally  prohibited if they result in a multiple savings and
loan holding company  controlling  savings  associations in more than one state.
However,  such  interstate  acquisitions  are permitted  based on specific state
authorization or in a supervisory acquisition of a failing savings association.

      Federal  law  generally  provides  that no  "person,"  acting  directly or
indirectly or through or in concert with one or more other persons,  may acquire
"control," as that term is defined in OTS  regulations,  of a federally  insured
savings  institution  without  giving at least 60 days written notice to the OTS
and providing the OTS an  opportunity  to disapprove  the proposed  acquisition.
Such acquisitions of control may be disapproved if it is determined, among other
things,  that (i) the acquisition would substantially  lessen competition;  (ii)
the financial  condition of the acquiring  person might jeopardize the financial
stability  of  the  savings  institution  or  prejudice  the  interests  of  its
depositors;  or (iii) the  competency,  experience or integrity of the acquiring
person or the proposed  management  personnel  indicates that it would not be in
the  interest  of the  depositors  or the public to permit the  acquisitions  of
control by such person.

      Subject to appropriate  regulatory  approvals,  a bank holding company can
acquire  control  of a  savings  association,  and  if  it  controls  a  savings
association,  merge or  consolidate  the assets and  liabilities  of the savings
association  with, or transfer  assets and  liabilities  to, any subsidiary bank
which  is a  member  of the BIF with the  approval  of the  appropriate  federal
banking  agency  and the  Federal  Reserve  Board.  Generally,  federal  savings
associations can acquire or be acquired by any insured depository institution.

                                       20
<PAGE>

      Federal  Securities  Law.  The Company is subject to filing and  reporting
requirement by virtue of having its common stock registered under the Securities
Exchange  Act of  1934.  Furthermore,  company  stock  held by  persons  who are
affiliates (generally officers,  directors,  and principal  stockholders) of the
Company may not be resold without registration or unless sold in accordance with
certain  resale  restrictions.  If the Company meets  specified  current  public
information  requirements,  each affiliate of the Company is able to sell in the
public  market,  without  registration,  a  limited  number  of  shares  in  any
three-month period.

Bank Regulation

      General. As a federally chartered,  SAIF-insured savings association,  the
Bank is  subject  to  extensive  regulation  by the OTS  and the  FDIC.  Lending
activities and other  investments must comply with various federal statutory and
regulatory   requirements.   The  Bank  is  also  subject  to  certain   reserve
requirements promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
("FRB").

      The OTS, in  conjunction  with the FDIC,  regularly  examines the Bank and
prepares  reports for the  consideration of the Bank's Board of Directors on any
deficiencies that are found in the Bank's  operations.  The Bank's  relationship
with its depositors and borrowers is also regulated to a great extent by federal
and state law,  especially in such matters as the ownership of savings  accounts
and the form and content of the Bank's mortgage documents.

      The Bank  must  file  reports  with the OTS and the  FDIC  concerning  its
activities  and  financial  condition,   in  addition  to  obtaining  regulatory
approvals  prior to entering into certain  transactions  such as mergers with or
acquisitions  of other savings  institutions.  This  regulation and  supervision
establishes a comprehensive  framework of activities in which an institution can
engage and is intended  primarily for the protection of the SAIF and depositors.
The  regulatory  structure  also  gives  the  regulatory  authorities  extensive
discretion in connection with their  supervisory and enforcement  activities and
examination  policies,  including policies with respect to the classification of
assets and the  establishment  of adequate  loan loss  reserves  for  regulatory
purposes.  Any change in such regulations,  whether by the OTS, the FDIC, or the
U.S. Congress could have a material adverse impact on the Company, the Bank, and
their operations.

      Insurance of Deposit Accounts.  The Bank's deposit accounts are insured by
the SAIF to a maximum of $100,000 for each insured member (as defined by law and
regulation).  Insurance of deposits may be terminated by the FDIC upon a finding
that the institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe
or unsound condition to continue  operations or has violated any applicable law,
regulation,  rule, order or condition  imposed by the FDIC or the  institution's
primary regulator.

      As a member of the SAIF,  the Bank paid an  insurance  premium to the FDIC
equal to a minimum  of 0.23% of its  total  deposits.  The FDIC  also  maintains
another insurance fund, The Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF"), which primarily insures
commercial  bank deposits.  Effective  September  30,1995,  the FDIC lowered the
insurance  premium of BIF insured deposits to a range of between 0.04% and 0.31%
of deposits with the result that most commercial banks would pay the lowest rate
of 0.04%.  Effective  January 1, 1996, the annual insurance premium for most BIF
members was lowered to $2,000.  These  reductions in insurance  premiums for BIF
members placed SAIF members at a competitive disadvantage to BIF members.

                                       21

<PAGE>




     Effective September 30, 1996, federal law was revised to mandate a one-time
special  assessment on SAIF members such as the Bank of  approximately  .657% of
deposits held on March 31, 1995.  The Savings Bank  recorded a $355,000  pre-tax
expense for this  assessment  at September 30 1996.  Beginning  January 1, 1997,
deposit  insurance  assessments  for SAIF  members was reduced to  approximately
 .065% of deposits on an annual basis  through the end of 1999.  During this same
period, BIF members were assessed  approximately .013% of deposits.  After 1999,
assessments  for BIF and SAIF members  should be the same.  It is expected  that
these continuing assessments for both SAIF and BIF members will be used to repay
outstanding  Financing  Corporation  bond  obligations.  As a  result  of  these
changes,  beginning January 1, 1997, the rate of deposit insurance  assessed the
Bank declined by approximately 70%.

      Examination  Fees.  In addition  to federal  deposit  insurance  premiums,
savings  institutions  like the  Bank are  required  by OTS  regulations  to pay
assessments to the OTS to fund the operations of the OTS. The general assessment
is paid on a  semi-annual  basis and is  computed  based on total  assets of the
institution,  including subsidiaries.  The Bank's OTS assessment expense for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1997 totalled approximately $24,000.

      Regulatory Capital  Requirements.  OTS capital regulations require savings
institutions to meet three capital standards: (1) tangible capital equal to 1.5%
of total adjusted assets,  (2) a leverage ratio (core capital) equal to at least
3% of total adjusted assets, and (3) a risk-based  capital  requirement equal to
8.0% of total risk-weighted assets.

      Tangible  capital is defined as core  capital less all  intangible  assets
(including  supervisory  goodwill),  plus purchased  mortgage  servicing  rights
("PMSRs") valued at the lower of the maximum  percentage  established by the OTS
or the amount  includable  in core  capital.  Core  capital is defined as common
stockholders'  equity (including  retained  earnings),  noncumulative  perpetual
preferred stock,  and minority  interests in the equity accounts of consolidated
subsidiaries,  and qualifying supervisory goodwill, less nonqualifing intangible
assets.

      The OTS leverage ratio  regulation  establishes a core capital ratio of at
least  3%  for  those  savings  associations  in  the  strongest  financial  and
managerial condition.  In the future, other savings associations may be required
to maintain minimum core capital of at least 4% of total adjusted assets, with a
maximum  core  capital  ratio  requirement  of 5%. In  determining  the required
minimum core capital  ratio,  the OTS may assess the quality of risk  management
and the level of risk in each savings association on a case-by-case basis.

      The  risk-based  capital  standard for savings  institutions  requires the
maintenance of total  risk-based  capital (which is defined as core capital plus
supplementary  capital)  of 8.0% of  risk-weighted  assets.  The  portion of the
allowance  for loan and lease  losses  includable  in  supplementary  capital is
limited to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted  assets.  Overall,  supplementary
capital is limited to 100% of core capital. A savings association must calculate
its risk-weighted assets by multiplying each asset and off-balance sheet item by
various risk factors as determined  by the OTS,  which range from 0% for cash to
100% for delinquent  loans,  property acquired through  foreclosure,  commercial
loans and other assets.

      In  August  1993,   the  OTS  adopted  a  final  rule   incorporating   an
interest-rate risk component into the risk-based capital  regulation.  Under the
rule, an  association  with a greater than "normal"  level of interest rate risk
will be subject to a deduction of its interest  rate risk  component  from total
capital for purposes of calculating its risk-based capital. As a result, such an
association will be required to maintain

                                       22

<PAGE>
additional capital in order to comply with the risk-based  capital  requirement.
An association with a greater than "normal"  interest rate risk is defined as an
association  that would suffer a loss of net portfolio  value  exceeding 2.0% of
the  estimated  economic  value of its assets in the event of a 200 basis  point
increase or decrease  (with certain minor  exceptions)  in interest  rates.  The
interest  rate risk  component  will be  calculated,  on a quarterly  basis,  as
one-half of the difference between an association's  measured interest rate risk
and  2.0%  multiplied  by the  economic  value  of its  assets.  The  rule  also
authorizes  the  Director  of the  OTS,  or his  designee,  to waive or defer an
association's  interest rate risk component on a case-by-case  basis.  The final
rule was originally  effective as of January 1, 1994,  subject  however to a two
quarter "lag" time between the  reporting  date of the data used to calculate an
association's  interest  rate  risk  and the  effective  date of each  quarter's
interest rate risk component.  However,  in October 1994 the Director of the OTS
indicated that the OTS would waive the capital  deductions for associations with
a greater than "normal" risk until the OTS publishes an appeals process. The OTS
has indicated that no savings  association  will be required to make  deductions
from capital for interest rate risk until further notice.

      The Bank's  regulatory  capital  exceeded all minimum  regulatory  capital
requirements  applicable to it as of June 30, 1997.  See Note 13 to the Notes to
the Consolidated Financial Statements.

      Prompt Corrective Action.  Legislation  requires the banking regulators to
take certain  supervisory  actions against  undercapitalized  institutions,  the
severity of which depends upon the institution's degree of capitalization. Under
the OTS final rule  implementing the prompt  corrective  action  provisions,  an
institution  shall  be  deemed  to be (i)  "well  capitalized"  if it has  total
risk-based capital of 10.0% or more, has a Tier I risk-based capital ratio (core
or leverage  capital to  risk-weighted  assets) of 6.0% or more,  has a leverage
capital  of 5.0% or more  and is not  subject  to any  order  or  final  capital
directive to meet and maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure,
(ii) "adequately capitalized" if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0%
or more,  a Tier I  risked-based  ratio of 4.0% or more and a  leverage  capital
ratio of 4.0% or more (3.0% under certain  circumstances)  and does not meet the
definition  of  well  capitalized,  (iii)  "undercapitalized"  if it has a total
risk-based  capital  ratio that is less than 6.0%, a Tier I  risk-based  capital
ratio that is less than 4.0% or a leverage  capital ratio that is less than 4.0%
(3.0% in certain circumstances), (iv) "significantly undercapitalized" if it has
a total  risk-based  capital  ratio that is less than 6.0%,  a Tier I risk-based
capital  ratio that is less than 3.0% or a leverage  capital  ratio that is less
than 3.0% and (v)  "critically  undercapitalized"  if it has a ratio of tangible
equity to total  assets  that is equal to or less than 2.0% In  addition,  under
certain   circumstances,   a  federal  banking  agency  may  reclassify  a  well
capitalized  institution as adequately capitalized and may require an adequately
capitalized  institution  or an  undercapitalized  institution  to  comply  with
supervisory  actions as if it were in the next lower  category  (except that the
FDIC  may  not  reclassify  a  significantly   undercapitalized  institution  as
critically undercapitalized).

      Dividend  and Other  Capital  Distribution  Limitations.  OTS  regulations
require  the  Bank  to  give  the OTS 30 days  advance  notice  of any  proposed
declaration of dividends to the Company, and the OTS has the authority under its
supervisory  powers to prohibit  the payment of  dividends  to the  Company.  In
addition,  the Bank may not declare or pay a cash  dividend on its capital stock
if the  effect  thereof  would be to reduce the  regulatory  capital of the Bank
below the amount required for the liquidation  account established in connection
with the Conversion.

                                       23

<PAGE>
      OTS  regulations  impose  limitations  upon all capital  distributions  by
savings  institutions,  such  as  cash  dividends,  payments  to  repurchase  or
otherwise acquire its shares, payments to shareholders of another institution in
a cash-out merger,  and other  distributions  charged against capital.  The rule
establishes  three tiers of  institutions,  based primarily on an  institution's
capital  level.  An  institution  that  exceeds  all  fully  phased-in   capital
requirements  before  and  after  a  proposed  capital   distribution  ("Tier  1
institution")  and has not  been  advised  by the OTS that it is in need of more
than the normal  supervision can, after prior notice but without the approval of
the OTS, make capital  distributions during a calendar year equal to the greater
of (i) 100% of its net income to date during the  calendar  year plus the amount
that would reduce by one-half its "surplus  capital  ratio" (the excess  capital
over its fully phased-in capital  requirements) at the beginning of the calendar
year,  or (ii) 75% of its net income over the most recent four  quarter  period.
Any additional capital  distributions  require prior regulatory approval.  As of
June 30,  1997,  the Bank was a Tier 1  institution.  In the  event  the  Bank's
capital fell below its fully  phased-in  requirement or the OTS notified it that
it was in need of more than  normal  supervision,  the  Bank's  ability  to make
capital distributions could be restricted. In addition, the OTS could prohibit a
proposed  capital  distribution  by any  institution,  which would  otherwise be
permitted by the regulation,  if the OTS determines that such distribution would
constitute an unsafe or unsound practice.

      Finally,  a  savings  association  is  prohibited  from  making a  capital
distribution if, after making the distribution, the savings association would be
undercapitalized   (not  meet  any  one  of  its  minimum   regulatory   capital
requirements).

      Qualified  Thrift  Lender Test.  The Home Owners'  Loan Act  ("HOLA"),  as
amended, requires savings institutions to meet a QTL test. If the Bank maintains
an  appropriate  level  of  Qualified  Thrift  Investments  ("QTIs")  (primarily
residential    mortgages   and   related    investments,    including    certain
mortgage-related  securities) and otherwise qualifies as a QTL, it will continue
to enjoy  full  borrowing  privileges  from the FHLB of  Atlanta.  The  required
percentage  of QTIs is 65% of  portfolio  assets  (defined  as all assets  minus
intangible  assets,  property used by the institution in conducting its business
and liquid assets equal to 10% of total assets). Certain assets are subject to a
percentage  limitation  of  20%  of  portfolio  assets.  In  addition,   savings
associations  may  include  shares  of stock  of the  FHLBs,  FNMA and  FHLMC as
qualifying  QTIs. As of June 30, 1997,  the Bank was in compliance  with its QTL
requirement  with 75.29% of its assets  invested in QTIs. No  assurances  can be
given that the Bank will be able to maintain this level of QTIs or that the QTIs
will remain above 65% of portfolio assets.

      A savings association that does not meet a QTL test must either convert to
a bank charter or comply with the following restrictions on its operations:  (i)
the  savings  association  may not  engage in any new  activity  or make any new
investment,  directly or  indirectly,  unless such  activity  or  investment  is
permissible  for a  national  bank;  (ii) the  branching  powers of the  savings
association  shall be restricted to those of a national bank;  (iii) the savings
association shall not be eligible to obtain any advances from its FHLB; and (iv)
payment of  dividends by the savings  association  shall be subject to the rules
regarding  payment of dividends by a national bank. Upon the expiration of three
years from the date the  savings  association  ceases to be a QTL, it must cease
any activity and not retain any investment not  permissible  for a national bank
and  immediately  repay any  outstanding  FHLB  advances  (subject to safety and
soundness considerations).

      Community  Reinvestment.  Under the Community Reinvestment Act ("CRA"), as
implemented  by OTS  regulations,  a savings  association  has a continuing  and
affirmative obligation consistent with its safe and sound operation to help meet
the credit needs of its entire  community,  including  low and  moderate  income
neighborhoods. The CRA requires the OTS, in connection with its examination of a


                                       24

<PAGE>
savings  institution,  to assess the institution's  record of meeting the credit
needs of its community and to take such record into account in its evaluation of
certain applications by such institution. The OTS evaluates an institution's CRA
performance  utilizing a four-tiered  system. The Bank received a "satisfactory"
rating as a result of its last evaluation in January, 1997.

      Transactions With Affiliates. Generally, restrictions on transactions with
affiliates  require  that  transactions  between  a savings  association  or its
subsidiaries  and  its  affiliates  be on  terms  as  favorable  to the  Bank as
comparable  transactions  with  non-affiliates.  In  addition,  certain of these
transactions  are restricted to an aggregate  percentage of the Bank's  capital;
collateral  in  specified  amounts  must  usually be provided by  affiliates  to
receive loans from the Bank.  Affiliates of the Bank include the Company and any
company  which would be under  common  control  with the Bank.  In  addition,  a
savings  association  may not lend to any affiliate  engaged in  activities  not
permissible  for a  bank  holding  company  or  acquire  the  securities  of any
affiliate  that  is not a  subsidiary.  The  OTS has  the  discretion  to  treat
subsidiaries of savings associations as affiliates on a case-by-case basis.

      Branching by Federal Savings Associations. Through its Policy Statement on
Branching by Federal Savings Associations,  the OTS permits interstate branching
to the full  extent  permitted  by  statute  (which is  essentially  unlimited).
However, the OTS will evaluate a branching applicant's record of compliance with
the  CRA.  A poor  CRA  record  may be  the  basis  for  denial  of a  branching
application.

      Liquidity Requirements.  All savings associations are required to maintain
an average daily  balance of liquid assets equal to a certain  percentage of the
sum of its  average  daily  balance of net  withdrawable  deposit  accounts  and
borrowings payable in one year or less. The liquidity  requirement may vary from
time to time (between 4% and 10%) depending upon economic conditions and savings
flows of all savings  associations.  At June 30, 1997, the required liquid asset
ratio was 5.00%.

      Liquid  assets for  purposes of this ratio  include  specified  short-term
assets (e.g.,  cash,  certain time deposits,  certain  banker's  acceptances and
short-term  U.S.  Government  obligations)  and  long-term  assets  (e.g.,  U.S.
Government  obligations  of more  than one and less  than  five  years and state
agency  obligations  with a  maximum  remaining  term  of 24  months).  Monetary
penalties  may  be  imposed  upon   associations  for  violations  of  liquidity
requirements.

      Federal  Home  Loan  Bank  System.  The  Bank is a  member  of the FHLB of
Atlanta,  which is one of 12 regional FHLBs that  administers the home financing
credit  function  of  savings  associations.  Each FHLB  serves as a reserve  or
central bank for its members within its assigned region.  It is funded primarily
from  proceeds  derived from the sale of  consolidated  obligations  of the FHLB
System.  It makes loans to members (i.e.,  advances) in accordance with policies
and procedures established by the Board of Directors of the FHLB.

      As a member,  the Bank is required to purchase and  maintain  stock in the
FHLB of  Atlanta  in an  amount  equal to at least  1% of its  aggregate  unpaid
residential  mortgage loans, home purchase  contracts or similar  obligations at
the  beginning  of each year.  At June 30,  1997,  the Bank had $961,000 in FHLB
stock, which was in compliance with this requirement.

      The FHLBs are  required to provide  funds for the  resolution  of troubled
savings  associations  and to contribute to affordable  housing programs through
direct loans or interest subsidies on advances targeted for community investment
and  low-  and  moderate-income  housing  projects.   These  contributions  have
adversely  affected the level of FHLB dividends paid and could continue to do so
in the future.  For

                                       25

<PAGE>

the fiscal year ended June 30,  1997,  dividends  paid by the FHLB of Atlanta to
the Bank totalled approximately $70,000.

      Federal  Reserve System.  The FRB requires all depository  institutions to
maintain  non-interest  bearing  reserves  at  specified  levels  against  their
transaction accounts (primarily checking, NOW, and

Super NOW  checking  accounts)  and  non-personal  time  deposits.  The balances
maintained  to meet the reserve  requirements  imposed by the FRB may be used to
satisfy  the  liquidity  requirements  that are  imposed by the OTS. At June 30,
1997, the Bank met the FRB reserve requirements.

      Savings  associations  have  authority  to borrow  from the FRB  "discount
window," but FRB policy generally  requires savings  associations to exhaust all
FHLB sources before borrowing from the FRB.
The Bank had no borrowings from the FRB at June 30, 1997.

      Subject to appropriate  regulatory  approvals,  a bank holding company can
acquire  control  of a  savings  association,  and  if  it  controls  a  savings
association,  merge or  consolidate  the assets and  liabilities  of the savings
association  with, or transfer  assets and  liabilities  to, any subsidiary bank
which  is a  member  of the BIF with the  approval  of the  appropriate  federal
banking agency and the FRB. Generally,  federal savings associations can acquire
or be acquired by any insured depository institution.

consisting of at least three non-employee Directors of the Corporation appointed
by the Board and serving at the pleasure of the Board. Officers,  Directors, key
employees  and  other  persons  who are  designated  by the  Committee  shall be
eligible to receive Awards under the Plan, and all persons designated as members
of the Committee  shall be  "disinterested  persons"  within the meaning of Rule
16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

                           (ii) For the purpose of granting Awards to directors,
the  selection  of any  Director to whom  Awards may be granted,  as well as the
number of Shares  subject  to Awards,  must be  determined  by a  "disinterested
committee", as defined in Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

                  (b) Powers of the Committee.  The Committee is authorized (but
only to the extent not  contrary  to the  express  provisions  of the Plan or to
resolutions adopted by the Board) to interpret the Plan, to prescribe, amend and
rescind  rules and  regulations  relating to the Plan, to determine the form and
content of Awards to be issued  under the Plan and to make other  determinations
necessary or advisable for the  administration  of the Plan,  and shall have and
may  exercise  such other power and  authority  as may be delegated to it by the
Board from time to time. A majority of the entire  Committee shall  constitute a
quorum and the action of a majority  of the  members  present at any  meeting at
which a quorum is present  shall be deemed the  action of the  Committee.  In no
event may the Committee  revoke  outstanding  Awards  without the consent of the
Participant.

                  The  Chairman of the  Corporation  and such other  officers as
shall  be  designated  by  the  Committee  are  hereby   authorized  to  execute
instruments  evidencing Awards on behalf of the Corporation and to cause them to
be delivered to the Participants.

                  (c)   Effect   of   Committee's   Decision.   All   decisions,
determinations  and   interpretations  of  the  Committee  shall  be  final  and
conclusive on all persons affected thereby.

          6.      Eligibility.

                            (i) Awards may be  granted  to  officers, Directors,
key employees and other persons. The Committee shall from time to time determine
the  officers,  Directors,  key employees and other persons who shall be granted
Awards under the Plan, the number to be granted to each such officer,  Director,
key employee and other persons  under the Plan,  and whether  Awards  granted to
each such  Participant  under the Plan shall be Incentive  and/or  Non-Incentive
Stock Options. In selecting Participants and in determining the number of Shares
of Common  Stock to be granted to each such  Participant  pursuant to each Award
granted  under the Plan,  the  Committee may consider the nature of the services
rendered by each such Participant, each such Participant's current and potential
contribution  to the Corporation and such other factors as the Committee may, in
its sole discretion, deem relevant.

                                        3

Officers,  Directors,  key  employees or other  persons who have been granted an
Award may, if otherwise eligible, be granted additional Awards.

                           (ii) The aggregate  fair  market value (determined as
of the date the Option is granted) of the Shares with respect to which Incentive
Stock Options are  exercisable  for the first time by each  Employee  during any
calendar year (under all Incentive Stock Option plans, as defined in Section 422
of the Code, of the Corporation or any present or future Parent or Subsidiary of
the Corporation) shall not exceed $100,000. Notwithstanding the prior provisions
of this Section 6, the  Committee  may grant  Options in excess of the foregoing
limitations,  provided said Options shall be clearly and specifically designated
as not being Incentive Stock Options.

                           (iii) In no event  shall  Shares  subject  to Options
granted to non-employee
Directors  in the  aggregate  under this Plan  exceed more than 30% of the total
number of Shares  authorized  for delivery under this Plan pursuant to Section 3
herein or 5% to any individual  non-employee Director. In no event shall Options
granted  to any  Employee  exceed  more than 25% of the  total  number of Shares
authorized for delivery under the Plan.

          7. Term of the Plan.  The Plan shall  continue in effect for a term of
ten (10) years from the Effective  Date,  unless sooner  terminated  pursuant to
Section 18  hereof.  No Option  shall be  granted  under the Plan after ten (10)
years from the Effective Date.

          8. Terms and Conditions of Incentive  Stock Options.  Incentive  Stock
Options may be granted only to  Participants  who are Employees.  Each Incentive
Stock Option granted pursuant to the Plan shall be evidenced by an instrument in
such  form as the  Committee  shall  from time to time  approve.  Each and every
Incentive  Stock Option  granted  pursuant to the Plan shall comply with, and be
subject to, the following terms and conditions:

                  (a)      Option Price.

                           (i) The price per Share at which each Incentive Stock
Option  granted under the Plan may be exercised  shall not, as to any particular
Incentive  Stock Option,  be less than the fair market value of the Common Stock
at the time such Incentive  Stock Option is granted.  For such purposes,  if the
Common Stock is traded otherwise than on a national  securities  exchange at the
time of the  granting  of an Option,  then the  exercise  price per Share of the
Optioned  Stock shall be not less than the mean  between the bid and asked price
on the date the  Incentive  Stock  Option is granted  or, if there is no bid and
asked price on said date, then on the next prior business day on which there was
a bid and asked  price.  If no such bid and asked price is  available,  then the
exercise  price per Share shall be  determined by the  Committee.  If the Common
Stock is listed on a national securities exchange at the time of the granting of
an Incentive  Stock Option,  then the exercise price per Share shall be not less
than the average of the highest and lowest selling price on such exchange on the
date such  Incentive  Stock Option is granted or, if there were no sales on said
date,  then the  exercise  price shall be not less than the mean between the bid
and asked price on such date.

                           (ii) In the case of an Employee who owns Common Stock
representing more than ten percent (10%) of the outstanding  Common Stock at the
time the Incentive Stock Option is granted,  the Incentive Stock Option exercise
price  shall not be less than one  hundred  and ten  percent  (110%) of the fair
market  value of the  Common  Stock at the time the  Incentive  Stock  Option is
granted.


                                        4

<PAGE>



                  (b)  Payment.  Full  payment  for each  Share of Common  Stock
purchased upon the exercise of any Incentive Stock Option granted under the Plan
shall be made at the time of exercise of each such  Incentive  Stock  Option and
shall be paid in cash (in United States Dollars),  Common Stock or a combination
of cash and Common Stock.  Common Stock  utilized in full or partial  payment of
the  exercise  price  shall be  valued at its fair  market  value at the date of
exercise.  The Corporation  shall accept full or partial payment in Common Stock
only to the extent  permitted by applicable law. No Shares of Common Stock shall
be issued until full payment therefor has been received by the Corporation,  and
no Optionee  shall have any of the rights of a  stockholder  of the  Corporation
until Shares of Common Stock are issued to him.

                  (c) Term of Incentive Stock Option. The term of exercisability
of each Incentive  Stock Option  granted  pursuant to the Plan shall be not more
than ten (10) years from the date each such  Incentive  Stock Option is granted,
provided that in the case of an Employee who owns stock  representing  more than
ten percent  (10%) of the Common  Stock  outstanding  at the time the  Incentive
Stock Option is granted, the term of the Incentive Stock Option shall not exceed
five (5) years.

                  (d)  Exercise  Generally.  Except  as  otherwise  provided  in
Section  10 hereof,  no  Incentive  Stock  Option  may be  exercised  unless the
Optionee  shall have been in the employ of the  Corporation  at all times during
the period  beginning with the date of grant of any such Incentive  Stock Option
and  ending on the date three (3) months  prior to the date of  exercise  of any
such Incentive Stock Option. The Committee may impose additional conditions upon
the  right of an  Optionee  to  exercise  any  Incentive  Stock  Option  granted
hereunder  which  are  not  inconsistent  with  the  terms  of the  Plan  or the
requirements for qualification as an Incentive Stock Option under Section 422 of
the Code.  Notwithstanding  anything herein to the contrary, the Incentive Stock
Option will be exercisable at the rate of 20% on the one year anniversary of the
date of  grant of such  Option  and 20%  annually  thereafter,  and will  remain
exercisable for up to ten years from such date of grant;  provided  however that
the  exercisability  of such Options shall be accelerated in the event of death,
disability or change in control in accordance with the Plan.

                  (e) Cashless  Exercise.  An Optionee who has held an Incentive
Stock  Option for at least six months may engage in the  "cashless  exercise" of
the Option. In a cashless  exercise,  an Optionee gives the Corporation  written
notice of the  exercise  of the Option  and  places an order  with a  registered
broker-dealer  or  equivalent  third party,  to sell part or all of the Optioned
Stock and to deliver enough of the proceeds to the Corporation to pay the Option
exercise price and any applicable  withholding  taxes.  If the Optionee does not
sell the Optioned Stock through a registered  broker-dealer  or equivalent third
party, he can give the Corporation  written notice of the exercise of the Option
and the third  party  purchaser  of the  Optioned  Stock  shall  pay the  Option
exercise price plus any applicable withholding taxes to the Corporation.

                  (f)  Transferability.   Any  Incentive  Stock  Option  granted
pursuant to the Plan shall be exercised  during an  Optionee's  lifetime only by
the Optionee to whom it was granted and shall not be assignable or  transferable
otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

          9.  Terms  and  Conditions  of  Non-Incentive   Stock  Options.   Each
Non-Incentive Stock Option granted pursuant to the Plan shall be evidenced by an
instrument in such form as the Committee  shall from time to time approve.  Each
and every  Non-Incentive  Stock Option granted pursuant to the Plan shall comply
with and be subject to the following terms and conditions.


                                        5

<PAGE>



                  (a) Options  Granted to Directors.  Subject to the limitations
of Section  6(iii),  Non-  Incentive  Stock Options to purchase  2,852 shares of
Common Stock will be granted to each other Director who is not an Employee as of
the Effective  Date, at an exercise  price equal to the fair market value of the
Common Stock on such date of grant. Options may be granted to newly appointed or
elected non-employee Directors within the sole discretion of the Committee.  The
Option will be first  exercisable at the rate of 20% on the one year anniversary
of  stockholder  approval of the Plan and 20%  annually  thereafter  during such
periods  of  service  as a  director  or  director  emeritus,  and  will  remain
exercisable  for up to ten years  from  such  date of  grant.  Upon the death or
disability of the director or director emeritus,  or upon a change or control of
the Bank or the  Corporation  as provided at Section 13(b)  herein,  such Option
shall be deemed immediately 100% exercisable.  The price per Share at which such
Options granted shall be exercisable and shall be equal to the fair market value
of the Common Stock at the time such Options are granted. For such purposes,  if
the Common Stock is traded otherwise than on a national  securities  exchange at
the time of the  granting of the Options,  then the exercise  price per Share of
the  Optioned  Stock  shall be not less than the mean  between the bid and asked
price on the date the Options are granted or, if there is no bid and asked price
on said date,  then on the next prior  business day on which there was a bid and
asked  price.  If no such bid and asked price is  available,  then the  exercise
price per Share shall be  determined  by the  Committee.  If the Common Stock is
listed on a  national  securities  exchange  at the time of the  granting  of an
Options, then the exercise price per Share shall be not less than the average of
the highest and lowest  selling  price on such exchange on the date such Options
are granted  or, if there were no sales on said date,  then the  exercise  price
shall be not less than the mean  between  the bid and asked  price on such date.
Such Options may be exercisable  for a period of ten years following the date of
grant without  regard to the continued  services of such Directors as a Director
or Director Emeritus. In the event of such person's death during the term of his
directorship,  such Options may be exercised by the personal  representative  of
his estate or person or persons to whom his rights  under such Option shall have
passed  by will  or by  laws  of  descent  and  distribution.  Unless  otherwise
inapplicable, or inconsistent with the provisions of this paragraph, the Options
to be granted to Directors hereunder shall be subject to all other provisions of
this Plan.

                  (b) Option Price. The exercise price per Share of Common Stock
for each  Non-Incentive  Stock Option granted  pursuant to the Plan,  other than
Options granted  pursuant to Section 9(a) herein,  shall be at such price as the
Committee  may determine in its sole  discretion,  but in no event less than the
fair market value of such Common Stock on the Date of Grant.

                  (c)  Payment.  Full  payment  for each  Share of Common  Stock
purchased upon the exercise of any Non-Incentive  Stock Option granted under the
Plan  shall be made at the time of  exercise  of each such  Non-Incentive  Stock
Option and shall be paid in cash (in United States  Dollars),  Common Stock or a
combination  of cash and Common Stock.  Common Stock utilized in full or partial
payment of the  exercise  price shall be valued at its fair market  value at the
date of exercise. The Corporation shall accept full or partial payment in Common
Stock only to the extent  permitted by applicable law. No Shares of Common Stock
shall be issued until full payment therefor has been received by the Corporation
and no Optionee shall have any of the rights of a stockholder of the Corporation
until the Shares of Common Stock are issued to him.

                  (d) Term.  The term of  exercisability  of each  Non-Incentive
Stock Option granted  pursuant to the Plan shall be not more than ten (10) years
from the date each such Non-Incentive Stock Option is granted.

                  (e) Exercise  Generally.  The Committee may impose  additional
conditions upon the right of any Participant to exercise any Non-Incentive Stock
Option granted hereunder which is not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan.

                  (f)   Cashless   Exercise.   An   Optionee   who  has  held  a
Non-Incentive  Stock Option for at least six months may engage in the  "cashless
exercise"  of  the  Option.  In a  cashless  exercise,  an  Optionee  gives  the
Corporation  written  notice of the  exercise  of the Option and places an order
with a registered  broker-dealer  or equivalent third party, to sell part or all
of the Optioned Stock and to deliver  enough of the proceeds to the  Corporation
to pay the Option  exercise price and any applicable  withholding  taxes. If the
Optionee does not sell the Optioned Stock through a registered  broker-dealer or
equivalent  third  party,  he can give the  Corporation  written  notice  of the
exercise of the Option and the third party purchaser of the Optioned Stock shall
pay the Option  exercise  price  plus any  applicable  withholding  taxes to the
Corporation.

                  (g)  Transferability.  Any Non-Incentive  Stock Option granted
pursuant to the Plan shall be exercised  during an  Optionee's  lifetime only by
the Optionee to whom it was granted and shall not be assignable or  transferable
otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

         10.  Effect  of  Termination  of  Employment,  Disability  or  Death on
Incentive Stock Options.

                  (a)   Termination  of  Employment.   In  the  event  that  any
Optionee's employment with the Corporation shall terminate for any reason, other
than Permanent and Total Disability (as such term is defined in Section 22(e)(3)
of the Code) or death, all of any such Optionee's  Incentive Stock Options,  and
all of any such Optionee's  rights to purchase or receive Shares of Common Stock
pursuant  thereto,  shall  automatically  terminate  on the  earlier  of (i) the
respective  expiration  dates  of any such  Incentive  Stock  Options,  (ii) the
expiration of not more than three (3) months after the date of such  termination
of employment, or (iii) at such later date as determined by the Committee at the
time of the  grant of such  Award,  but only if,  and to the  extent  that,  the
Optionee was entitled to exercise any such  Incentive  Stock Options at the date
of such termination of employment. In the event that a subsidiary ceases to be a
subsidiary of the  Corporation,  the  employment of all of its employees who are
not  immediately  thereafter  employees  of the  Corporation  shall be deemed to
terminate  upon the date such  subsidiary  so ceases to be a  Subsidiary  of the
Corporation.  Notwithstanding  anything herein to the contrary, upon termination
of employment for "cause" as defined at 12 C.F.R.  563.39(b)(1) as determined by
the Board of Directors,  all Options held by such Participant  shall cease to be
exercisable as of the date of such termination of employment.

                  (b)  Disability.  In the event that any Optionee's  employment
with the  Corporation  shall  terminate as the result of the Permanent and Total
Disability of such  Optionee,  such  Optionee may exercise any  Incentive  Stock
Options  granted to him pursuant to the Plan at any time prior to the earlier of
(i) the respective  expiration dates of any such Incentive Stock Options or (ii)
the date which is one (1) year after the date of such termination of employment,
but only if, and to the extent  that,  the Optionee was entitled to exercise any
such Incentive Stock Options at the date of such termination of employment.

                  (c)  Death.  In the  event of the  death of an  Optionee,  any
Incentive  Stock Options granted to such Optionee may be exercised by the person
or persons to whom the Optionee's  rights under any such Incentive Stock Options
pass  by  will  or by the  laws  of  descent  and  distribution  (including  the
Optionee's estate during the period of  administration) at any time prior to the
earlier of (i) the respective

                                        7

<PAGE>



expiration  dates of any such Incentive  Stock Options or (ii) the date which is
two (2) years after the date of death of such  Optionee  but only if, and to the
extent that,  the Optionee  was  entitled to exercise any such  Incentive  Stock
Options at the date of death.  For purposes of this Section 10(c), any Incentive
Stock Option held by an Optionee shall be considered  exercisable at the date of
his death if the only unsatisfied  condition  precedent to the exercisability of
such  Incentive  Stock Option at the date of death is the passage of a specified
period of time.  At the  discretion  of the  Committee,  upon  exercise  of such
Options the Optionee may receive Shares or cash or combination  thereof. If cash
shall be paid in lieu of  Shares,  such  cash  shall be equal to the  difference
between the fair  market  value of such  Shares and the  exercise  price of such
Options on the exercise date.

                  (d) Incentive Stock Options Deemed  Exercisable.  For purposes
of Sections 10(a), 10(b) and 10(c) above, any Incentive Stock Option held by any
Optionee  shall be  considered  exercisable  at the date of  termination  of his
employment if any such  Incentive  Stock Option would have been  exercisable  at
such date of termination of employment.

                  (e) Termination of Incentive Stock Options. To the extent that
any  Incentive  Stock  Option  granted  under  the  Plan to any  Optionee  whose
employment with the Corporation  terminates shall not have been exercised within
the  applicable  period set forth in this Section 10, any such  Incentive  Stock
Option,  and all rights to purchase or receive  Shares of Common Stock  pursuant
thereto,  as the case may be, shall  terminate on the last day of the applicable
period.

         11.  Effect  of  Termination  of  Employment,  Disability  or  Death on
Non-Incentive  Stock Options.  The terms and conditions of  Non-Incentive  Stock
Options  relating to the effect of the termination of an Optionee's  employment,
disability of an Optionee or his death shall be such terms and conditions as the
Committee shall, in its sole  discretion,  determine at the time of termination,
unless  specifically  provided for by the terms of the  Agreement at the time of
grant of the Award.  Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  the exercisability of such
Non-Incentive Options may be accelerated only in the event of death,  disability
or change in control in accordance with the Plan.

         12. Right of Repurchase and Restrictions on Disposition. The Committee,
in its sole discretion,  may include, as a term of any Incentive Stock Option or
Non-Incentive  Stock Option,  the right (the  "Repurchase  Right"),  but not the
obligation  for the  Corporation,  to repurchase all or any amount of the Shares
acquired by an Optionee pursuant to the exercise of any such Options. The intent
of  the  Repurchase  Right  is to  encourage  the  continued  employment  of the
Optionee.  The  Repurchase  Right  shall  provide  for,  among other  things,  a
specified  duration of the Repurchase  Right, a specified  price per Share to be
paid  upon  the  exercise  of the  Repurchase  Right  and a  restriction  on the
disposition  of the Shares by the Optionee  during the period of the  Repurchase
Right.  The  Repurchase  Right may permit the  Corporation to transfer or assign
such right to another party.  The Corporation may exercise the Repurchase  Right
only to the extent permitted by applicable law.

         13.      Recapitalization, Merger, Consolidation, Change in Control and
Similar Transactions.

                  (a)  Adjustment.   Subject  to  any  required  action  by  the
stockholders  of the  Corporation,  within the sole discretion of the Committee,
the aggregate  number of Shares of Common Stock for which Options may be granted
hereunder,  the number of Shares of Common  Stock  covered  by each  outstanding
Option,  and the  exercise  price per Share of Common Stock of each such Option,
shall all be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number
of issued and outstanding

                                        8

<PAGE>



Shares of Common Stock resulting from a subdivision or  consolidation  of Shares
(whether by reason of merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification,
split-up,  combination  of  shares,  or  otherwise)  or the  payment  of a stock
dividend (but only on the Common Stock) or any other increase or decrease in the
number  of  such  Shares  of  Common  Stock  effected  without  the  receipt  of
consideration  by  the  Corporation   (other  than  Shares  held  by  dissenting
stockholders).

                  (b) Change in Control.  All  outstanding  Awards  shall become
immediately  exercisable in the event of a change in control of the Corporation,
as determined by the  Committee.  In the event of such a change in control,  the
Optionee shall, at the discretion of the Committee,  be entitled to receive cash
in an amount equal to the fair market  value of the Common Stock  subject to any
Incentive or Non-Incentive Stock Option over the Option Price of such Shares, in
exchange  for the  surrender of such Options by the Optionee on that date in the
event of a change in control of the  Corporation.  For  purposes of this Section
13,  "change in control"  shall mean:  (i) the execution of an agreement for the
sale of all, or a material portion,  of the assets of the Corporation;  (ii) the
execution of an agreement for a merger or recapitalization of the Corporation or
any merger or  recapitalization  whereby the  Corporation  is not the  surviving
entity;  (iii) a change of control of the Corporation,  as otherwise  defined or
determined by the Office of Thrift Supervision or regulations promulgated by it;
or (iv) the  acquisition,  directly or indirectly,  of the beneficial  ownership
(within  the  meaning  of  that  term  as it is used  in  Section  13(d)  of the
Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934  and the  rules  and  regulations  promulgated
thereunder)  of  twenty-five  percent  (25%) or more of the  outstanding  voting
securities  of the  Corporation  by any  person,  trust,  entity or group.  This
limitation  shall  not  apply to the  purchase  of  shares  by  underwriters  in
connection  with a public  offering of  Corporation  stock,  or the  purchase of
shares  of up to  25%  of any  class  of  securities  of  the  Corporation  by a
tax-qualified  employee  stock  benefit  plan which is exempt from the  approval
requirements,  set forth under 12 C.F.R.  ss.574.3(c)(1)(vi) as now in effect or
as may  hereafter be amended.  The term  "person"  refers to an  individual or a
corporation,  partnership,  trust, association,  joint venture, pool, syndicate,
sole proprietorship, unincorporated organization or any other form of entity not
specifically listed herein. The decision of the Committee as to whether a change
in control has occurred shall be conclusive and binding.

                  (c) Extraordinary  Corporate  Action.  Subject to any required
action by the  stockholders  of the  Corporation,  in the event of any change in
control, recapitalization,  merger, consolidation, exchange of Shares, spin-off,
reorganization,  tender  offer,  liquidation  or other  extraordinary  corporate
action or event, the Committee,  in its sole  discretion,  shall have the power,
prior or subsequent to such action or event to:

                            (i)     appropriately adjust the number of Shares of
Common  Stock  subject to each Option,  the  exercise  price per Share of Common
Stock, and the consideration to be given or received by the Corporation upon the
exercise of any outstanding Option;

                           (ii)    cancel any or all previously granted Options,
provided that  appropriate  consideration  is paid to the Optionee in connection
therewith; and/or

                         (iii)    make such other adjustments in connection with
the Plan as the Committee, in its sole discretion,  deems necessary,  desirable,
appropriate or advisable;  provided,  however,  that no action shall be taken by
the Committee which would cause Incentive Stock Options granted  pursuant to the
Plan to fail to meet the requirements of Section 422 of the Code.

                  Except  as  expressly  provided  in  Sections  13(a) and 13(b)
hereof,  no Optionee shall have any rights by reason of the occurrence of any of
the events described in this Section 13.

                  (d)  Acceleration.  The Committee  shall at all times have the
power to accelerate  the exercise date of Options  previously  granted under the
Plan;  provided,  however, the exercisability of such Options may be accelerated
only in the event of death,  disability or change in control in accordance  with
the Plan.

         14. Time of Granting Options.  The date of grant of an Option under the
Plan  shall,  for all  purposes,  be the date on which the  Committee  makes the
determination  of  granting  such  Option.  Except,  however,  for  purposes  of
compliance  with Section 16 of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, the date of
grant of an Option shall be deemed the later of the date of grant or the date of
stockholder  approval  of the Plan.  Notice  of the grant of an Option  shall be
given to each  individual  to whom an Option is so granted  within a  reasonable
time after the date of such grant in a form determined by the Committee.

         15.  Effective  Date. The Plan shall become  effective upon the date of
approval of the Plan by the  stockholders  of the  Corporation.  On or after the
date of stockholder  approval of the Plan, the Committee may authorize the grant
of options to be awarded under the Plan.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary,  in no event  shall  awards  made  hereunder  be deemed  effective  or
exercisable  prior to issuance of a letter of approval or  non-objection  by the
Office of Thrift Supervision with respect to the Plan.

         16.   Approval  by   Stockholders.   The  Plan  shall  be  approved  by
stockholders  of the  Corporation  within twelve (12) months before or after the
date the Plan is approved by the Board.

         17.  Modification  of Options.  At any time and from time to time,  the
Board may  authorize  the  Committee to direct the  execution  of an  instrument
providing  for the  modification  of any  outstanding  Option,  provided no such
modification, extension or renewal shall confer on the holder of said Option any
right or  benefit  which  could  not be  conferred  on him by the grant of a new
Option at such time, or shall not materially  decrease the  Optionee's  benefits
under the Option  without  the  consent of the holder of the  Option,  except as
otherwise permitted under Section 18 hereof.

         18. Amendment and Termination of the Plan.

                  (a)  Action by the  Board.  The Board may  alter,  suspend  or
discontinue  the Plan,  except that no action of the Board may  increase  (other
than as provided in Section 13 hereof) the maximum number of Shares permitted to
be  optioned  under the Plan,  materially  increase  the  benefits  accruing  to
Participants   under  the  Plan  or  materially   modify  the  requirements  for
eligibility for  participation in the Plan unless such action of the Board shall
be subject to approval or ratification by the stockholders of the Corporation.

                  (b)  Change  in  Applicable  Law.  Notwithstanding  any  other
provision  contained  in the Plan,  in the event of a change in any  federal  or
state law,  rule or  regulation  which would make the exercise of all or part of
any previously granted Incentive and/or  Non-Incentive  Stock Option unlawful or
subject the  Corporation  to any penalty,  the  Committee  may restrict any such
exercise without the consent of the Optionee or other holder thereof in order to
comply with any such law, rule or regulation or to avoid any such penalty.

         19. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares. Shares shall not be issued with
respect to any Option granted under the Plan unless the issuance and delivery of
such Shares shall comply with all relevant provisions of law, including, without
limitation,  the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,  the rules and  regulations
promulgated thereunder, any applicable state securities law and the requirements
of any stock exchange upon which the Shares may then be listed.

         The inability of the  Corporation to obtain  approval or  non-objection
from any regulatory body or authority deemed by the Corporation's  counsel to be
necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares  hereunder shall relieve
the Corporation of any liability in respect of the  non-issuance or sale of such
Shares.

         As a  condition  to the  exercise  of an Option,  the  Corporation  may
require  the  person  exercising  the  Option to make such  representations  and
warranties as may be necessary to assure the  availability  of an exemption from
the registration requirements of federal or state securities law.

         20. Reservation of Shares. During the term of the Plan, the Corporation
will  reserve and keep  available a number of Shares  sufficient  to satisfy the
requirements of the Plan.

         21. Unsecured Obligation.  No Participant under the Plan shall have any
interest in any fund or special asset of the  Corporation  by reason of the Plan
or the grant of any Incentive or  Non-Incentive  Stock Option under the Plan. No
trust  fund shall be  created  in  connection  with the Plan or any grant of any
Incentive or Non-Incentive Stock Option hereunder and there shall be no required
funding of amounts which may become payable to any Participant.

         22.  Withholding  Tax. The  Corporation  shall have the right to deduct
from all amounts paid in cash with  respect to the cashless  exercise of Options
under the Plan any taxes  required  by law to be withheld  with  respect to such
cash payments. Where a Participant or other person is entitled to receive Shares
pursuant to the  exercise of an Option  pursuant  to the Plan,  the  Corporation
shall have the right to require the  Participant or such other person to pay the
Corporation  the  amount  of any taxes  which the  Corporation  is  required  to
withhold with respect to such Shares,  or, in lieu thereof,  to retain,  or sell
without notice, a number of such Shares  sufficient to cover the amount required
to be withheld.

         23.  Governing  Law.  The Plan shall be  governed by and  construed  in
accordance with the laws of the  Commonwealth of Virginia,  except to the extent
that federal law shall be deemed to apply.

                           ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

         4.01  Role  of the  Committee.  The  Plan  shall  be  administered  and
interpreted  by the  Committee,  which  shall  consist  of not less  than  three
non-employee  members of the Board, which shall have all of the powers allocated
to it in this and other sections of the Plan. All persons  designated as members
of the Committee  shall be  "disinterested  persons"  within the meaning of Rule
16b-3 under the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as amended  ("1934 Act").  The

or of any Plan Share Award  granted  hereunder  shall be final and binding.  The
Committee  shall act by vote or written  consent of a majority  of its  members.
Subject to the express provisions and limitations of the Plan, the Committee may
adopt such rules,  regulations  and procedures as it deems  appropriate  for the
conduct of its affairs.  The  Committee  shall report its actions and  decisions
with respect to the Plan to the Board at appropriate times, but in no event less
than one time per calendar year. The Committee  shall recommend to the Board one

of this Plan and Trust and the terms of Article VIII hereof.

the Board. The Board may in its

<PAGE>



discretion  from time to time  remove  members  from,  or add  members  to,  the
Committee,  and may remove, replace or add Trustees. The Board shall have all of
the powers  allocated to it in this and other sections of the Plan, may take any
action under or with respect to the Plan which the  Committee is  authorized  to
take,  and may reverse or  override  any action  taken or  decision  made by the
Committee under or with respect to the Plan, provided,  however,  that the Board
may not revoke any Plan Share Award  already  made except as provided in Section
7.01(b)  herein.  Members  of the  Board who are  eligible  for or who have been
granted  Plan  Share  Awards  may  not  vote  on  any  matters   affecting   the
administration  of the Plan or the  grant of Plan  Shares or Plan  Share  Awards
(although such members may be counted in  determining  the existence of a quorum
at any meeting of the Board during which actions taken).  Further,  with respect
to all actions  taken by the Board in regard to the Plan,  such action  shall be
taken by a majority of the Board where such a majority of the  directors  acting

or the Trustee(s) shall be liable for any determination  made in good faith with
respect to the Plan or any Plan Share  Awards  granted  under it. If a member of
the Board or Committee or any Trustee is a party or is  threatened  to be made a
party to any  threatened,  pending  or  completed  action,  suit or  proceeding,
whether  civil,  criminal,  administrative  or  investigative,  by any reason of
anything done or not done by him in such  capacity  under or with respect to the
Plan,  the Parent  shall  indemnify  such  member  against  expenses  (including
attorney's fees),  judgments,  fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably  incurred  by him or her in  connection  with  such  action,  suit or
proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably
believed to be in the best  interests  of the Parent and its  Subsidiaries  and,
with respect to any criminal  action or proceeding,  had no reasonable  cause to
believe his conduct was unlawful.

                                    ---------

                        CONTRIBUTIONS; PLAN SHARE RESERVE

         5.01 Amount and Timing of Contributions.  The Board of Directors of the
Savings  Bank  shall  determine  the  amounts  (or the method of  computing  the
amounts) to be  contributed by the Savings Bank to the Trust  established  under
this  Plan.  Such  amounts  shall  be  paid  to  the  Trustee  at  the  time  of
contribution. No contributions to the Trust by Employees shall be permitted.

         5.02  Initial  Investment.  Any  funds  held  by  the  Trust  prior  to
investment  in the  Common  Stock  shall  be  invested  by the  Trustee  in such
interest-bearing  account or accounts at the Savings  Bank as the Trustee  shall
determine to be appropriate.

         5.03  Investment  of Trust  Assets.  Following  approval of the Plan by
stockholders  of the  Parent  and  receipt  of any  other  necessary  regulatory
approvals,  the Trust  shall  purchase  Common  Stock of the Parent in an amount
equal to up to 100% of the Trust's  assets,  after  providing  for any  required
withholding as needed for tax purposes,  provided, however, that the Trust shall
not purchase  more than 22,823  share of Common  Stock,  representing  4% of the
aggregate  shares of Common  Stock  issued by the Parent in the  mutual-to-stock
conversion of the Savings Bank ("Conversion"). The Trustee shall purchase shares
of Common  Stock in the open  market  or,  in the  alternative,  shall  purchase
authorized but unissued shares of the Common Stock from the Parent sufficient to
fund the Plan Share Reserve.

         5.04 Effect of  Allocations,  Returns and  Forfeitures  Upon Plan Share
Reserves.  Upon the  allocation  of Plan Share Awards under Section 6.02, or the
decision of the  Committee  to return Plan Shares to the Parent,  the Plan Share
Reserve  shall be  reduced  by the  number of Shares  subject  to the  Awards so
allocated  or returned.  Any Shares  subject to an Award which may not be earned
because of forfeiture  by the Recipient  pursuant to Section 7.01 shall be added
to the Plan Share Reserve.

                                   Article VI
                                   ----------

                            ELIGIBILITY; ALLOCATIONS

         6.01  Eligibility.  Employees of the Savings Bank and its  Subsidiaries
are  eligible to receive  Plan Share Awards  within the sole  discretion  of the
Committee.

         6.02  Allocations.  The Committee will determine which of the Employees
referenced  in Section  6.01 above  will be  granted  Plan Share  Awards and the
number of Shares  covered by each  Award,  provided,  however,  that in no event
shall any Awards be made which will violate the Charter or Bylaws of the Savings
Bank or its Parent or  Subsidiaries  or any  applicable  federal or state law or
regulation.  In the event  Shares are  forfeited  for any  reason or  additional
Shares are  purchased  by the Trustee,  the  Committee  may,  from time to time,
determine  which of the  Employees  referenced  in  Section  6.01  above will be
granted  additional  Plan Share Awards to be awarded from forfeited  Shares.  In
selecting  those  Employees  to whom Plan Share  Awards  will be granted and the
number of shares  covered by such  Awards,  the  Committee  shall  consider  the
position duties and  responsibilities  of the eligible  Employees,  the value of
their services to the Savings Bank and its  Subsidiaries,  and any other factors
the Committee may deem  relevant.  All actions by the Committee  shall be deemed
final, except to the extent that such actions are revoked by the Board.

         6.03  Form  of  Allocation.   As  promptly  as   practicable   after  a
determination  is made pursuant to Section 6.02 that a Plan Share Award is to be
made,  the  Committee  shall notify the Recipient in writing of the grant of the
Award,  the number of Plan Shares covered by the Award, and the terms upon which
the Plan  Shares  subject  to the  award  may be  earned.  The date on which the
Committee so notifies the Recipient shall be considered the date of grant of the
Plan Share Awards. The Committee shall maintain records as to all grants of Plan
Share Awards under the Plan.

         6.04 Allocations Not Required. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in Sections 6.01 and 6.02, no Employee  shall have any right or  entitlement  to
receive a Plan Share Award hereunder,  such Awards being at the total discretion
of the Committee  and the Board,  nor shall the Employees as a group have such a
right.  The Committee may, with the approval of the Board (or, if so directed by
the Board) return all Common Stock in the Plan Share Reserve to the Savings Bank
at any time, and cease issuing Plan Share Awards.

         6.05  Awards  to  Directors.  Notwithstanding  anything  herein  to the
contrary,  upon the Effective Date, a Plan Share Award  consisting of 1,141 Plan
Shares  shall be  awarded  to each  director  of the  Savings  Bank  that is not
otherwise  an  Employee.  Such  Plan  Share  Award  shall  be  earned  and  non-
forfeitable at the rate of one-seventh on the first anniversary of the Effective
Date and an additional  one-seventh  following  each of the next six  successive
years during such period of service as a director or director emeritus. Further,
such Plan Share Award shall be immediately  100% vested and  non-forfeitable  in
the event of the death or disability of such director, or a change in control of
the Savings Bank or Parent as provided in Section 7.01(d) herein.  Subsequent to
the Effective Date, Plan Share Awards may

                                        4

<PAGE>



be awarded to newly  elected or  appointed  directors of the Savings Bank by the
Committee,  provided that total Plan Share Awards to  non-employee  directors of
the  Savings  Bank shall not exceed  30% of total Plan  Shares in the  aggregate
under the Plan or 5% to any individual non-employee director.

                                   Article VII
                                   -----------

             EARNINGS AND DISTRIBUTION OF PLAN SHARES; VOTING RIGHTS

         7.01     Earnings Plan Shares; Forfeitures.

         (a) General Rules. Unless the Committee shall specifically state to the
contrary at the time a Plan Share Award is  granted,  Plan Shares  subject to an
Award shall be earned and  non-forfeitable  by a Recipient at the rate of 20% of
such Award  following one year after  granting of such Award,  and an additional
20%  following  each of the next  four  successive  years;  provided  that  such
Recipient  remains an Employee  during  such  period.  Notwithstanding  anything
herein to the contrary,  in no event shall a Plan Share Award granted  hereunder
be earned and  non-forfeitable  by a Recipient  more rapidly than at the rate of
20% of such Award as of the one year  anniversary of the date of granting of the
Award and an additional 20% following each of the next four successive years.

         (b) Revocation for Misconduct.  Notwithstanding  anything herein to the
contrary,  the  Board  may,  by  resolution,  immediately  revoke,  rescind  and
terminate any Plan Share Award,  or portion  thereof,  previously  awarded under
this Plan, to the extent Plan Shares have not been  delivered  thereunder to the
Recipient,  whether  or not  yet  earned,  in the  case  of an  Employee  who is
discharged from the employ of the Parent, Savings Bank or a Subsidiary for Cause
(as hereinafter  defined),  or who is discovered after termination of employment
to have  engaged in conduct  that would have  justified  termination  for cause.
"Cause" is defined as personal  dishonesty,  incompetence,  willful  misconduct,
breach of fiduciary  duty involving  personal  profits,  intentional  failure to
perform stated  duties,  willful  violation of a material  provision of any law,
rule or regulation  (other than traffic  violations and similar  offense),  or a
material violation of a final  cease-and-desist  order or any other action which
results in a  substantial  financial  loss to the  Parent,  Savings  Bank or its
Subsidiaries.  A determination  of "Cause" shall be made by the Board within its
sole discretion.

         (c)   Exception   for   Terminations   Due  to  Death  or   Disability.
Notwithstanding  the general rule contained in Section  7.01(a) above,  all Plan
Shares subject to a Plan Share Award held by a Recipient  whose  employment with
the Parent,  Savings Bank or a Subsidiary  terminates due to death or disability
(as determined by the  Committee),  shall be deemed earned as of the Recipient's
last day of employment with the Parent,  Savings Bank or Subsidiary and shall be
distributed as soon a practicable thereafter.

         (d)   Exception   for   Termination   after  a   Change   in   Control.
Notwithstanding  the general  rule  contained  in Section  7.01 above,  all Plan
Shares  subject to a Plan Share Award held by a recipient  shall be deemed to be
immediately  100%  earned  and  non-forfeitable  in the  event of a  "change  in
control"  of the  Parent or  Savings  Bank and shall be  distributed  as soon as
practicable  thereafter.  For purposes of this Plan,  "change in control"  shall
mean:  (i) the  execution  of an  agreement  for the sale of all,  or a material
portion,  of the assets of the Parent or Savings Bank;  (ii) the execution of an
agreement for a merger or  recapitalization of the Parent or Savings Bank or any
merger  or  recapitalization  whereby  the  Parent  or  Savings  Bank is not the
surviving  entity;  (iii) a change of control of the Parent or Savings  Bank, as
otherwise  defined  or  determined  by  the  Office  of  Thrift  Supervision  or
regulations promulgated

                                        5

<PAGE>



by it;  or (iv) the  acquisition,  directly  or  indirectly,  of the  beneficial
ownership (within the meaning of that term as it is used in Section 13(d) of the
1934 Act and the rules and  regulations  promulgated  thereunder) of twenty-five
percent  (25%) or more of the  outstanding  voting  securities  of the Parent or
Savings Bank by any person,  trust,  entity or group.  This limitation shall not
apply to the purchase of shares of up to 25% of any class of  securities  of the
Parent or Savings Bank by a  tax-qualified  employee stock benefit plan which is
exempt   from  the   approval   requirements,   set   forth   under  12   C.F.R.
ss.574.3(c)(1)(vi)  as now in effect or as may  hereafter  be amended.  The term
"person"  refers  to  an  individual  or  a  corporation,   partnership,  trust,
association, joint venture, pool, syndicate, sole proprietorship, unincorporated
organization  or any other form of entity not  specifically  listed herein.  The
decision of the  Committee as to whether a change in control has occurred  shall
be conclusive and binding.

         7.02 Payment of Dividends.  A holder of a Plan Share Award,  whether or
not  non-forfeitable,  shall also be entitled to receive an amount  equal to any
cash  dividends  declared  and paid with  respect  to  shares  of  Common  Stock
represented  by such Plan Share Award  between the date the relevant  Plan Share
Award was initially  granted to such  Recipient and the date the Plan Shares are
distributed.  Such dividend amounts shall be held in arrears under the Trust and
distributed upon vesting of the applicable Plan Share Award.

         7.03     Distribution of Plan Shares.

         (a)  Timing of  Distributions:  General  Rule.  Except as  provided  in
Subsections (d) and (e) below, Plan Shares shall be distributed to the Recipient
or his Beneficiary,  as the case may be, as soon as practicable  after they have
been earned. No fractional shares shall be distributed. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary,  at the discretion of the Committee,  Plan Shares may be
distributed  prior to such shares  being 100%  earned,  provided  that such Plan
Shares shall contain a restrictive  legend detailing the applicable  limitations
of such shares with respect to transfer and forfeiture.

         (b) Form of  Distribution.  All Plan Shares,  together  with any shares
representing stock dividends,  shall be distributed in the form of Common Stock.
One share of Common  Stock shall be given for each Plan Share  earned.  Payments
representing  cash  dividends  (and  earning  thereon)  shall  be made in  cash.
Notwithstanding  anything  within  the Plan to the  contrary,  upon a Change  in
Control  whereby  substantially  all of the Common Stock of the Company shall be
acquired for cash, all Plan Shares  associated with Plan Share Awards,  together
with any shares representing stock dividends  associated with Plan Share Awards,
shall  be,  at the  sole  discretion  of the  Committee,  distributed  as of the
effective  date of  such  Change  in  Control,  or as  soon as  administratively
feasible thereafter,  in the form of cash equal to the consideration received in
exchange for such Common Stock represented by such Plan Shares.

         (c)  Withholding.   The  Trustee  may  withhold  from  any  payment  or
distribution  made under this Plan  sufficient  amounts to cover any  applicable
withholding  and  employment  taxes,  and if the  amount of such  payment is not
sufficient,  the Trustee may require the  Recipient or  Beneficiary  to have the
Trustee  withhold  from  delivery a number of Plan  Shares  having a fair market
value,  at the  time  withheld,  sufficient  to  satisfy  such  withholding  and
employment taxes, or to pay to the Trustee the amount required to be withheld as
a condition of  delivering  the Plan Shares.  The Trustee  shall pay over to the
Parent,  Savings Bank or Subsidiary which employs or employed such recipient any
such amount withheld from or paid by the Recipient or Beneficiary.

         (d) Timing: Exception for 10% Shareholders.  Notwithstanding Subsection
(a) above, no Plan Shares may be distributed prior to the date which is five (5)
years from the effective date of the Savings Bank's Conversion to the extent the
Recipient or Beneficiary, as the case may be, would after receipt of such Shares
own in excess of ten  percent  (10%) of the  issued  and  outstanding  shares of
Common Stock held by parties  other than Parent,  unless such action is approved
in advance by a majority vote of disinterested  directors of the Board. Any Plan
Shares  remaining  undistributed  solely  by  reason  of the  operation  of this
Subsection (d) shall be  distributed to the Recipient or his  Beneficiary on the
date  which  is  five  years  from  the  effective  date of the  Savings  Bank's
Conversion.

         (e)  Regulatory  Exceptions.  No  Plan  Shares  shall  be  distributed,
however,  unless and until all of the  requirements  of all  applicable  law and
regulation  shall  have been  fully  complied  with,  including  the  receipt of
approval of the Plan by the  stockholders of the Parent by such vote, if any, as
may be required by applicable law and regulations as determined by the Board.

         7.04 Voting of Plan Shares.  After a Plan Share Award has become earned
and non-  forfeitable,  the Recipient shall be entitled to direct the Trustee as
to the voting of the Plan  Shares  which are covered by the Plan Share Award and
which have not yet been distributed  pursuant to Section 7.03,  subject to rules
and procedures  adopted by the Committee for this purpose.  All shares of Common
Stock held by the Trust as to which  Recipients  are not entitled to direct,  or
have not  directed,  the voting of, shall be voted by the Trustee as directed by
the Committee.

                                  Article VIII
                                  ------------

                                      TRUST

         8.01 Trust.  The Trustee shall receive,  hold,  administer,  invest and
make  distributions  and  disbursements  from the Trust in  accordance  with the
provisions  of  the  Plan  and  Trust  and  the  applicable  directions,  rules,
regulations,  procedures and policies  established by the Committee  pursuant to
the Plan.


         8.02  Management of Trust. It is the intent of this Plan and Trust that
the Trustee shall have complete  authority  and  discretion  with respect to the
management,  control and  investment  of the Trust,  and that the Trustee  shall
invest all assets of the Trust, except those attributable to cash dividends paid
with respect to Plan Shares not held in the Plan Share Reserve,  in Common Stock
to the  fullest  extent  practicable,  and except to the extent that the Trustee
determines  that the holding of monies in cash or cash  equivalents is necessary
to meet the obligations of the Trust. In performing  their duties,  the Trustees
shall have the power to do all things and  execute  such  instruments  as may be
deemed necessary or proper, including the following powers:

         (a) To invest up to one hundred  percent  (100%) of all Trust assets in
         the Common  Stock  without  regard to any law now or hereafter in force
         limiting investments for Trustees or other fiduciaries.  The investment
         authorized  herein may constitute the only investment of the Trust, and
         in making such  investment,  the  Trustees are  authorized  to purchase
         Common  Stock from  Parent or from any other  source,  and such  Common
         Stock so  purchased  may be  outstanding,  newly  issued,  or  Treasury
         shares.

         (b) To invest in any Trust assets not otherwise  invested in accordance
         with (a) above in such deposit  accounts,  and  certificates of deposit
         (including those issued by the Savings Bank),

                                        7

         obligations  of the United  States  government  or its agencies or such
         other investments as shall be considered the equivalent of cash.

         (c) To sell,  exchange or otherwise dispose of any property at any time
         held or acquired by the Trust.

         (d) To cause stocks,  bonds or other securities to be registered in the
         name of a nominee,  without the addition of words  indicating that such
         security  is an asset  of the  Trust  (but  accurate  records  shall be
         maintained showing that such security is an asset of the Trust).

         (e) To hold cash  without  interest  in such  amounts  as may be in the
         opinion of the Trustee  reasonable for the proper operation of the Plan
         and Trust.

         (f) To employ brokers, agents, custodians, consultants and accountants.

         (g) To hire  counsel to render  advice  with  respect to their  rights,
         duties and  obligations  hereunder,  and such other  legal  services or
         representation as they may deem desirable.

         (h) To  hold  funds  and  securities  representing  the  amounts  to be
         distributed  to a Recipient or his  Beneficiary  as a consequence  of a
         dispute as to the disposition thereof,  whether in a segregated account
         or held in common with other assets.

         Notwithstanding  anything herein contained to the contrary, the Trustee
shall not be required to make any  inventory,  appraisal or settlement or report
to any  court,  or to secure  any order of court for the  exercise  of any power
herein contained, or give bond.

         8.03 Records and  Accounts.  The Trustee  shall  maintain  accurate and
detailed records and accounts of all  transactions of the Trust,  which shall be
available at all reasonable  times for inspection by any legally entitled person
or entity  to the  extent  required  by  applicable  law,  or any  other  person
determined by the Committee.

         8.04  Earnings.  All  earnings,  gains and losses with respect to Trust
assets shall be allocated in accordance with a reasonable  procedure  adopted by
the Committee,  to bookkeeping accounts for Recipients or to the general account
of the Trust,  depending on the nature and  allocation of the assets  generating
such earnings,  gains and losses. In particular,  any earnings on cash dividends
received  with  respect to shares of Common Stock shall be allocated to accounts
for Recipients, except to the extent that such cash dividends are distributed to
Recipients, if such shares are the subject of outstanding Plan Share Awards, or,
otherwise to the Plan Share Reserve.

         8.05  Expenses.  All costs and expenses  incurred in the  operation and
administration of this Plan shall be paid by the Savings Bank.

         8.06 Indemnification.  The Parent shall indemnify,  defend and hold the
Trustee harmless against all claims,  expenses and liabilities arising out of or
related to the  exercise  of the  Trustee's  powers and the  discharge  of their
duties  hereunder,  unless the same shall be due to their  gross  negligence  or
willful misconduct.

                                   Article IX
                                   ----------

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

         9.01  Adjustments  for Capital  Changes.  The aggregate  number of Plan
Shares  available for issuance  pursuant to the Plan Share Awards and the number
of  Shares  to which  any Plan  Share  Award  relates  shall be  proportionately
adjusted for any increase or decrease in the total number of outstanding  shares
of Common Stock issued  subsequent to the effective  date of the Plan  resulting
from any  split,  subdivision  or  consolidation  of  shares  or  other  capital
adjustment,  or other  increase  or decrease  in such  shares  effected  without
receipt or payment of consideration by the Parent.

         9.02  Amendment  and  Termination  of  the  Plan.  The  Board  may,  by
resolution,  at any time,  amend or  terminate  the Plan.  The power to amend or
terminate  the Plan shall  include  the power to direct the Trustee to return to
the  Parent  all or any part of the  assets of the  Trust,  including  shares of
Common Stock held in the Plan Share  Reserve,  as well as shares of Common Stock
and  other  assets  subject  to Plan  Share  Awards  but not yet  earned  by the
Employees to whom they are  allocated.  However,  the  termination  of the Trust
shall  not  affect a  Recipients  right to earn  Plan  Share  Awards  and to the
distribution of Common Stock relating thereto,  including  earnings thereon,  in
accordance  with the terms of this Plan and the  grant by the  Committee  or the
Board.

         9.03 Nontransferable. Plan Share Awards and rights to Plan Shares shall
not be  transferable  by a Recipient,  and during the lifetime of the Recipient,
Plan Shares may only be earned by and paid to the  Recipient who was notified in
writing of the Award by the Committee  pursuant to Section 6.03. No Recipient or
Beneficiary shall have any right in or claim to any assets of the Plan or Trust,
nor shall the Parent,  Savings Bank,  or any  Subsidiary be subject to any claim
for benefits hereunder.

         9.04 Employment Rights.  Neither the Plan nor any grant of a Plan Share
Award  or Plan  Shares  hereunder  nor any  action  taken  by the  Trustee,  the
Committee  or the Board in  connection  with the Plan  shall  create  any right,
either express or implied, on the part of any Employee to continue in the employ
of the Parent, Savings Bank, or a Subsidiary thereof.

         9.05 Voting and Dividend Rights.  No Recipient shall have any voting or
dividend  rights of a stockholder  with respect to any Plan Shares  covered by a
Plan Share Award,  except as expressly provided in Sections 7.02 and 7.04 above,
prior to the time said Plan Shares are actually distributed to him.

         9.06  Governing Law. The Plan and Trust shall be governed and construed
under  the laws of the  Commonwealth  of  Virginia,  except to the  extent  that
Federal Law shall be deemed applicable.

         9.07  Effective  Date.  The Plan shall be  effective  as of the date of
approval of the Plan by  stockholders  of the Parent.  Notwithstanding  anything
herein to the  contrary,  no Plan Share Award shall be effective or  distributed
prior to receipt of a letter of approval or non-objection related to the Plan by
the Office of Thrift Supervision.

Corporate Profile and Related Information

         SWVA  Bancshares,  Inc.  (the  "Company")  is the  parent  company  for
Southwest  Virginia  Savings  Bank,  FSB  ("Southwest  Virginia  Savings" or the
"Savings Bank").  The Company was formed as a Virginia  corporation in June 1994
at the  direction of the Savings  Bank to acquire all of the capital  stock that
the Savings Bank issued upon its conversion from the mutual to the stock form of
ownership (the  "Conversion")  in connection  with a $5.7 million initial public
offering completed on October 7, 1994. The Company is a unitary savings and loan
holding company which,  under existing laws,  generally is not restricted in the
types of business  activities  in which it may engage  provided that the Savings
Bank retains a specified amount of its assets in housing-related investments. At
the present time,  since the Company does not conduct any active  business,  the
Company  does not intend to employ any person  other than  officers but utilizes
the support staff and facilities of the Savings Bank from time to time.

         Southwest Virginia Savings is a federally  chartered stock savings bank
headquartered  in Roanoke,  Virginia.  The  Savings  Bank was founded in 1927 as
Southwest Virginia Building and Loan Association and originally chartered by the
Commonwealth  of Virginia.  In 1990, a federal charter was obtained and the name
was changed to Southwest  Virginia  Savings  Bank,  FSB. Its deposits  have been
federally  insured since 1945. The Savings Bank is a community  oriented savings
institution  offering a variety of  financial  services to meet the needs of the
communities  that it serves.  Southwest  Virginia  Savings conducts its business
from its main office in Roanoke, Virginia, four full service branch offices, one
of which is also  located in the City of  Roanoke,  one in the City of Salem and
two in the County of Roanoke, and a loan production office in Roanoke County.

         The Savings  Bank is primarily  engaged in the  business of  attracting
deposits  from  the  general  public  and  originating  loans  secured  by first
mortgages on one- to  four-family  residences in the Savings Bank's market area.
The Savings Bank also makes  nonresidential  and multi-family real estate loans,
construction loans, consumer loans and other loans.

         The number of shareholders of record of common stock as of September 1,
1997 was  approximately  237.  This does not  reflect  the  number of persons or
entities who held stock in "street" name through  various  brokerage  firms.  At
September 1, 1997, there were 510,984 shares outstanding.

         Declarations  of  dividends  by the Board of  Directors  of the Company
depend upon a number of factors,  including the amount of cash and liquid assets
held by the Company,  investment  opportunities  available to the Company or the
Savings Bank, capital requirements,  regulatory  limitations,  the Company's and
the  Savings  Bank's  results  of  operations  and  financial   condition,   tax
considerations  and general economic  conditions.  Certain of these restrictions
are discussed in notes 12 and 14 to the consolidated financial statements.

                               President's Message


Dear Shareholder:

         I am  pleased  to report  that this  year's  net  income  exceeded  the
previous  year's net income by  $108,000 or 34.64%.  Net income was  $414,000 or
$0.86 per share. The Company (the Savings Bank is its only subsidiary)  recorded
a $355,000 pre-tax expense which was as assessment for the  recapitalization  of
the Savings  Association  Insurance  Fund (SAIF).  Without this  assessment  the
Company's net income would have been $632,000 or $1.31 per share,  the best year
ever.  Future income is expected to be enhanced due to lower SAIF premiums.  The
increase in earnings has been a slow process;  however,  we are beginning to see
the results of our efforts.

         Several  actions  contributed  to this  year's  increased  net  income.
Management's  continuing  efforts to reduce  non-interest  expense  resulted  in
personnel  expenses  decreasing 8.19% and office occupancy and equipment expense
decreased  7.01%.  In the 1996 annual  report,  I reported that the Savings Bank
expected to put a larger portion of its originated  fixed-rate mortgage loans in
its loan portfolio rather than selling them if the market and interest rates met
our  expectations.  This  happened  and we  increased  our  fixed-rate  mortgage
portfolio  by 49.00%  or $4.8  million  dollars.  Our  adjustable-rate  mortgage
portfolio  decreased  by 2.94% or  $970,000.  The Savings  Bank expects that its
asset growth  policy of  retaining a greater  portion of  fixed-rate  loans will
increase interest rate risk.  However,  the Savings Bank has adequate capital to
manage the increased risk. The fixed-rate  mortgage  portfolio enhanced interest
income  resulting  in higher net income as the loans were  originated  at a rate
approximately  two and one-half per cent higher than  adjustable  rate  mortgage
(ARM) loans. In a rising interest rate  environment,  the ARM would have taken a
minimum of two years  before  attaining  the rate on the  originated  fixed-rate
mortgage loans.

         Management's  strategy  for the  Savings  Bank is to  continue  to be a
traditional  lender for one-to four-family  residential loans. In addition,  the
Savings Bank will  continue to serve  residents  in its primary  market area and
surrounding  areas by offering a wide variety of financial  services,  including
deposit  products,  residential  mortgage  loans,  home  equity  lines and other
services. The Savings Bank will continue to operate and grow in a safe and sound
manner and remain a  well-capitalized  institution  which is in compliance  with
applicable  regulations.  The  Savings  Bank  plans to  emphasize  profitability
through the  efficient  use of existing  operations  and high asset  quality and
generate competitive return for stockholders inclusive of cash dividends.

         One of the reasons the Savings Bank  converted to a stock  Savings Bank
was to support  growth in savings and lending  activities  as market  conditions
warrant,  which would also leverage the Savings Bank's  existing branch network,
facilities,  and personnel  resources.  The assets of the Company have increased
$15.9 million,  or 29.00%,  from $54.9 million at June 30, 1994 to $70.8 million
at June 30,  1997.  The  increase  was due  primarily  to an  increase  in loans
receivable  of $10.6  million,  from  $40.4  million  at June 30,  1994 to $51.0
million at June 30, 1997 and the net proceeds from the conversion.

         It is  management's  expectation  that the Savings Bank can continue to
grow within our market area. As larger  institutions are sold or consolidated in
our market area,  we believe that market share will become more  available to us
as an independent  community bank. We expect this to continue and provide us the
opportunity to increase our franchise value,  therefore,  enhancing  shareholder
value.

         In order  to meet  the  needs  of our  customers,  we are in the  final
planning  stage to offer ATM cards and debit cards.  We feel that the debit card
will be accepted and become a major factor in customer  financial  transactions.
Other  electronic  delivery  services  may be added as  needed  to  enhance  the
services to our customers.

         In  addition  to our  efforts  to obtain  market  share,  the board has
continued to take other steps toward enhancing  shareholder value. The board has
declared and the Company has paid five semi-annual  dividends since we converted
to a public  company in  October,  1994.  The board has  declared a  semi-annual
dividend of $0.15 per share to be paid  September 30, 1997.  Also, the board has
declared a special  dividend of $1.00 per share to be paid  September  30, 1997.
Both dividends will be paid to  shareholders  of record at the close of business
on September  15,  1997.  In addition,  the Company has  repurchased  a total of
59,606 shares of its stock.

         The  Company  has been  under  restrictions  of the  Office  of  Thrift
Supervision (OTS) in regard to repurchasing  stock.  These  restrictions will no
longer apply after October 6, 1997.  After that date,  the board will be limited
only by their business  judgement as to the use of stock  repurchases to enhance
stockholder value.

         The results of this year and  continuing  strategy for the Savings Bank
are  expected  to  reap  rewards  for  our  employees,  our  community  and  our
stockholders.

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

General

         The  business  of the  Savings  Bank  consists  of  receiving  monetary
deposits from the general public and  reinvesting  those funds  primarily in its
primary market area in the form of mortgage loans secured by one- to four-family
residences.  To a lesser extent, the Savings Bank originates nonresidential real
estate, multi-family,  construction, commercial, and consumer loans. The Savings
Bank  also   purchases   U.S.   government   and  federal   agency   securities,
mortgage-backed and mortgage-related  securities and invests in interest-bearing
deposits with other insured financial institutions.

         Currently,  the Savings  Bank's primary market area consists of Roanoke
County,  the City of Salem,  the City of Roanoke,  and  portions  of  Botetourt,
Bedford, and Franklin Counties,  Virginia. The Savings Bank regards this area as
its "basic" lending area, but loans are also made in other adjoining counties.

         The largest  component of the Savings Bank's net income is net interest
income,  which is the difference  between interest income and interest  expense.
Consequently,  the Savings  Bank's  earnings  are  dependent on its net interest
income,  which is determined by the difference  ("interest rate spread") between
rates of interest earned on  interest-earning  assets and rates of interest paid
on  interest-bearing  liabilities,  and the relative amounts of interest-earning
assets and interest-bearing  liabilities.  The Savings Bank's net income is also
affected by its  provision for losses on loans and  investments,  as well as the
amount of noninterest income and noninterest  expense,  such as compensation and
related  expenses,  federal deposit insurance  premiums,  data processing costs,
occupancy  expenses,  and income  taxes.  Earnings of the Savings  Bank also are
affected   significantly  by  general   economic  and  competitive   conditions,
particularly  changes in market interest rates,  government policies and actions
of  regulatory  authorities  and demand for  financing  of real estate and other
types of loans.

Management Strategy

         The  Savings  Bank's  goal  is  to  serve  its  local  community  as an
independent  community  savings  bank.  Its   consumer-oriented   philosophy  is
dedicated to financing  home ownership and providing  financial  services to its
customers.  The principal  components of the Savings Bank's management strategy,
which are designed to achieve its goal, are discussed below.

         The Savings Bank has been a traditional  lender for one- to four-family
residential loans since its founding in 1927.  Financing homes for its community
continues to be the Savings Bank's primary goal.  These loans either are held in
the Savings  Bank's  portfolio or sold in the secondary  market.  These types of
loans make up 74.86% of the Savings Bank's total loan portfolio.

         The Savings Bank  historically  has maintained good asset quality.  Its
emphasis on one- to four-family  mortgages and its related underwriting policies
and  practices  are intended to maintain  this  quality.  At June 30, 1997,  the
Savings Bank had $60,000 in non-performing  assets.  The Savings Bank's ratio of
non-performing loans to total assets at June 30, 1997 was .08%.

         One of the reasons the Savings Bank  converted to a stock  Savings Bank
was to support  growth in savings and lending  activities  as market  conditions
warrant, which would also leverage the Savings

                                        6

Bank's existing branch network,  facilities, and personnel resources. The assets
of the Company  increased $15.9 million,  or 28.96%,  from $54.9 million at June
30, 1994, to $70.8  million at June 30, 1997.  The increase was due primarily to
the conversion and an increase in loans receivable of $10.6 million,  from $40.4
million at June 30, 1994,  to $51.0  million at June 30,  1997.  For fiscal year
1996-97, the Bank's asset growth was 5.62%.

         The  Bank  expects  to  continue  to put a  reasonable  portion  of its
originated fixed-rate loans in its portfolio and to purchase mortgage-backed and
related  securities during the fiscal year 1997-98 to enhance asset growth.  The
growth is expected to be funded with deposit growth or  borrowings.  The Savings
Bank  expects that its asset growth  policy of retaining  fixed-rate  loans will
increase its interest rate risk.

Asset and Liability Management

         The Savings Bank continues to manage interest rate risk. It has managed
this risk on the asset side of its balance sheet with  adjustable-rate  mortgage
("ARM") loans, mutual funds holding adjustable rate  mortgage-backed  securities
("ARM Mutual Funds") and  government-related  securities with maturities of five
years or less. On the liability side of its balance sheet,  the Savings Bank has
emphasized  certificates  of deposit  ("CDs")  with  terms of one year,  and has
managed  interest  rates paid for deposits.  Historically,  the Savings Bank has
limited its borrowings and relied primarily upon the cash flows from its savings
deposits and mortgage  repayments  as its primary  source of funds.  The Savings
Bank expects to continue  using  borrowings as a means to leverage its growth in
the future.

         The ability to maximize net interest  income is largely  dependent upon
the achievement of a positive interest rate spread which can be sustained during
fluctuations  in  prevailing  interest  rates.  Interest rate  sensitivity  is a
measure  of the  difference  between  amounts  of  interest-earning  assets  and
interest-bearing  liabilities  which  either  reprice  or mature  within a given
period of time. The difference,  or the interest rate repricing  "gap," provides
an indication of the extent to which an institution's  interest rate spread will
be  affected  by  changes  in  interest  rates  over a period of time.  A gap is
considered  positive when the amount of interest-rate  sensitive assets maturing
or repricing over a specific period of time exceeds the amount of  interest-rate
sensitive liabilities maturing or repricing within that period and is considered
negative  when the amount of  interest-rate  sensitive  liabilities  maturing or
repricing  over a specified  period of time exceeds the amount of  interest-rate
sensitive assets maturing or repricing within that period.  Generally,  during a
period of rising  interest  rates,  a negative gap within a given period of time
would adversely affect net interest income,  while a positive gap within a given
period of time would  result in an increase  in net  interest  income.  During a
period of falling  interest  rates, a negative gap within a given period of time
would result in an increase in net interest income,  while a positive gap within
a given period of time would have the opposite effect.

The  following  table  sets  forth the  amount of  interest-earning  assets  and
interest-bearing liabilities outstanding at June 30, 1997, which are expected to
reprice or mature in each of the time periods shown. Except as stated below, the
amount of  assets  and  liabilities  shown  which  reprice  or  mature  during a
particular  period were  determined  in  accordance  with the earlier of term to
repricing or the  contractual  terms of the asset or liability.  Adjustable-rate
loans and mortgage-backed  securities are adjusted for scheduled  repayments and
prepayments  based on  assumptions  provided  by a major wall  street  brokerage
house. The Savings Bank's passbook  accounts and money market accounts have been
aged in accordance with the  assumptions  provided by the OTS. The interest rate
sensitivity  of the Savings  Bank's assets and  liabilities  illustrated  in the
table could vary substantially if different assumptions were used.

                      Comparison of Financial Condition for
               Fiscal Years Ended June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1996


         Total  assets at June 30, 1997 were $70.8  million as compared to $67.0
million at June 30, 1996, an increase of $3.8  million.  The increase was due to
an increase in loans  receivable,  investments  and interest  bearing  deposits,
offset by a decrease  in cash and cash  equivalents.  Cash and cash  equivalents
decreased from $5.3 million at June 30, 1996 to $1.3 million at June 30, 1997, a
decrease of $4.0 million.  Interest bearing  deposits and investments  increased
from  $11.8  million at June 30,  1996 to $15.4  million  at June 30,  1997,  an
increase  of $3.6  million.  The  increases  were due mainly to an  increase  in
investments  in  jumbo  certificates  which  are  matched  off  with  investment
certificates  and  additional   investments   securities  purchased  using  cash
available and borrowed funds. Net loans  receivable  increased $4.2 million from
$46.8  million  at June 30,  1996 to $51.0  million  at June  30,  1997,  due to
increased  origination  of fixed rate mortgage  loans.  On the  liability  side,
deposits increased $300,000 to $57.9 million at June 30, 1997 from $57.6 million
at June 30,  1996.  At June 30,  1997,  there  were  $3.5  million  in  advances
outstanding  from the  Federal  Home Loan Bank of  Atlanta,  an increase of $3.5
million  from  June  30,  1996.   Advances  were  used  to  fund  mortgage  loan
originations and to leverage investment purchases.

         The Savings Bank has generally  depended on higher rate certificates of
deposits of 12 months or less over lower rate core deposits in order to fund its
lending  operations.  This is done to manage  interest rate risk.  This trend is
likely to  continue  and could  have an  adverse  effect on the  Savings  Bank's
earnings and interest  rate spread  during  periods of rapidly  rising  interest
rates.  Management,  however,  may use borrowings  rather than  certificates  of
deposit to fund  operations if such borrowings are available at lower rates than
certificates of deposit.

         Net Income. Net income for the year ended June 30, 1997 was $414,000 as
compared to $306,000 for the year ended June 30, 1996,  an increase of $108,000.
Per share earnings for the year ended June 30, 1997 was $0.86.

         Interest Income.  Interest income increased  $400,000 from $4.9 million
at June 30, 1996 to $5.3  million at June 30,  1997.  The  increase was mainly a
result in the additional mortgage loans in the Bank's portfolio and the increase
in earnings on a larger investment base.

         Interest Expense. Interest expense for the year ended June 30, 1997 was
$2.7 million as compared to $2.6  million for the year ended June 30,  1996,  an
increase of  $100,000.  The  increase  was due mainly to an increase in borrowed
funds.

         Net Interest Income.  Net interest income  increased  $300,000 from 2.3
million at June 30, 1996 to $2.6  million at June 30,  1997.  The  increase  was
mainly  due to  increased  interest  income on  mortgage  loans  and  investment
securities offset by increased interest paid on borrowed funds.

         Provision  for Credit  Losses.  The Bank made an addition of $23,000 to
the provision  for credit losses for the year ended June 30, 1997.  The addition
was made due to an expected loss on a delinquent real estate loan. The allowance
for credit  losses is $217,000.  No  additions  were made to the  provision  for
credit losses during the year ended June 30, 1996.


                                       11

         Noninterest Income.  Noninterest income decreased $57,000 from $455,000
for the year ended June 30, 1996 to $398,000  for the year ended June 30,  1997.
This was due  primarily  to a decrease  on gain on loans  sold in the  secondary
market  of  $90,000,  offset  by a one  time  gain  on  the  sale  of  Financial
Institution  Insurance  stock in the amount of $51,000 and a loss on the sale of
ARM fund investments of $9,000..

         Noninterest  Expense.  Noninterest  expense increased from $2.2 million
for the year ended  June 30,  1996 to $2.4  million  for the year ended June 30,
1997,  an  increase  of  $200,000.  This  was  mainly  due to the  FDIC  Special
Assessment  of $355,000  offset by a decrease in personnel  expenses  associated
with increased earnings on the pension fund.

         Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes for the year
ended June 30, 1997 was $206,000 as compared to $191,000 for the year ended June
30, 1996. The increase was due to increased net income for the year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The Savings Bank's  primary  sources of funds are deposits and proceeds
from principal and interest  payments on loans and  mortgage-backed  securities.
Additional  sources of liquidity are advances from the FHLB of Atlanta and other
borrowings.  The Savings Bank has and may utilize  FHLB of Atlanta  borrowing in
the future during periods when management of the Savings Bank believes that such
borrowings  provide a lower cost source of funds than  deposit  accounts and the
Savings Bank desires  liquidity in order to help expand its lending  operations.
Borrowings are also used to purchase assets to leverage capital.

         The Savings  Bank's most liquid  assets are cash and  cash-equivalents,
which include  investments in highly  liquid,  short-term  investments,  such as
overnight  investments  in the Federal  Home Loan Bank of  Atlanta.  At June 30,
1997, cash and cash equivalents totaled $1.3 million.

         At June 30, 1997, the Savings Bank had $37.9 million in certificates of
deposits  due  within  one  year  and $4.2  million  due in two to three  years.
Management  estimates  that the Savings Bank will retain the deposits or replace
them with new deposits.  At June 30, 1997,  the Savings Bank had $3.0 million in
outstanding commitments to originate mortgages. The Savings Bank intends to fund
these  commitments with present  liquidity,  proceeds from loan repayments,  and
loan sales in the secondary market.

         Regulations  require that the Savings Bank maintain specified levels of
liquidity.  The liquidity is measured as a ratio of cash and certain investments
to  withdrawable  savings.  At June 30,  1996,  the minimum  level of  liquidity
required by regulations  was 5.00%.  The Savings Bank's  liquidity ratio at June
30, 1997 was 6.74%.

         The Savings Bank is required to maintain  specified  amounts of capital
pursuant to the Financial  Institutions Reform,  Recovery and Enforcement Act of
1989  ("FIRREA") and regulations  promulgated by the OTS. The capital  standards
generally  require the  maintenance of regulatory  capital  sufficient to meet a
tangible  capital  requirement,  a core  capital  requirement  and a  risk-based
capital  requirement.  At June 30, 1997,  the Savings  Bank's  tangible and core
capital  totaled  $7.9  million.  This  amount  exceeded  the  tangible  capital
requirement of $1.1 million by $6.8 million and the core capital  requirement of
$2.1

                                       12

million by $5.8  million on that date.  At June 30,  1997,  the  Savings  Bank's
risk-based  capital totaled $8.1 million,  which exceeded its risk-based capital
requirement of $3.0 million by $5.1 million.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

         The  financial  statements  and  related  data  have been  prepared  in
accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  which require the
measurement of financial  position and operating  results in terms of historical
dollars without  consideration  for changes in the relative  purchasing power of
money over time caused by inflation.

         Unlike industrial  companies,  nearly all of the assets and liabilities
of a financial  institution are monetary in nature. As a result,  interest rates
have a more  significant  impact on a financial  institution's  performance than
general levels of inflation.  Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same
direction or in the same magnitude as the price of goods and services since such
goods and services  are  affected by  inflation.  In the current  interest  rate
environment,  liquidity and the maturity  structure of the Savings Bank's assets
and  liabilities  are  critical to the  maintenance  of  acceptable  performance
levels.

Bank,  FSB  (Bank).  The Bank is a federally  chartered  stock  savings  bank as
provided by the United States Home Owner's Loan Act. The Bank has five locations
in Roanoke, Virginia and the surrounding area. In these financial statements the
consolidated group is referred to collectively as the "Company".

The Office of Thrift  Supervision  (OTS) is the primary  regulator for federally
chartered savings  associations,  as well as savings and loan holding companies.
The  Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation  (FDIC)  is  the  federal  deposit
insurance  administrator for both banks and savings  associations.  The FDIC has
specified  authority to prescribe  and enforce such  regulations  and issue such
orders  as it deems  necessary  to  prevent  actions  or  practices  by  savings
associations  that pose a serious  threat to the Savings  Association  Insurance
Fund (SAIF).

The  accounting  and reporting  policies of the Company  conform with  generally
accepted  accounting  principles  (GAAP).  A brief  description of the Company's
significant accounting policies is presented as follows.


Note 1 - Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated  financial  statements include the accounts of SWVA Bancshares,
Inc.,  Southwest  Virginia  Savings  Bank,  its  wholly-owned  subsidiary,   and
Southwest Virginia Service Corporation, the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank.
All material  intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the
consolidation.  The  Company  also  presents  herein  condensed  Parent  Company
financial  information.  Prior year amounts are  reclassified  when necessary to
conform with current year classifications.

Estimates

The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in  conformity  with GAAP  requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and  liabilities  and disclosure of contingent  assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial  statements  and the reported  amounts of revenues and
expenses  during the reporting  period.  Actual  results could differ from those
estimates.

Material  estimates that are  particularly  susceptible  to  significant  change
relate to the  determination  of the allowance  for credit losses on loans.  The
estimation process may include management obtaining  independent  appraisals for
significant collateral properties,  but the ultimate collectibility and recovery
of carrying  amounts are  susceptible to changes in local real estate market and
other local economic conditions.

Management  uses available  information to recognize  credit losses on loans and
real estate acquired in settlement of loans currently, while future additions to
the allowances may be necessary  based on changes in local economic  conditions.
In  addition,  regulatory  agencies,  as an integral  part of their  examination
process,  periodically  review the Bank's allowances for credit losses on loans.
Such  agencies  may require the Bank to recognize  additions  to the  allowances
based on their  judgments  about  information  available  to them at the time of
their examination.  Because of these factors, it is possible that the allowances
for credit losses on loans could change materially.

Note 1 - Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Cash equivalents

For purposes of the statements of cash flows,  the Company  considers all highly
liquid debt  instruments  with original  maturities,  when  purchased,  of three
months or less to be cash  equivalents.  Cash and cash equivalents for the three
years  presented  include  cash on hand and  demand  deposits.  Certificates  of
deposit with initial  maturities  greater than three months are shown separately
as interest-bearing deposits.

Investment securities

Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 115,  Accounting  for Certain
Investments  in  Debt  and  Equity  Securities  (SFAS  115),   requires  certain
securities to be classified as "held to maturity",  "trading" or "available  for
sale", according to management's intent and ability.

Debt securities  classified as "held to maturity" are carried at cost,  adjusted
for  amortization  of premium and  accretion  of discount  over the terms of the
securities,  as long as the Company has the ability and  maintains  the positive
intent to hold such securities to maturity. If such securities are sold prior to
maturity,  gains or losses are  recognized  in the year of sale by the  specific
identification method.

Trading securities, if any, are carried at fair value. Realized gains and losses
on sales and  unrealized  changes in fair  values are  included  in  noninterest
income.

Due to the nature of, and  restrictions  placed upon the Company's  common stock
investment in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta,  these securities have been
classified as restricted equity securities and carried at cost. These restricted
securities are not subject to the investment  security  classifications  of SFAS
115.

Marketable  equity  securities not classified as "trading" or  "restricted"  and
debt securities not classified as "trading" or "held to maturity" are carried at
fair value,  if  marketable,  with  unrealized  gains and losses  excluded  from
earnings and reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity.  Realized
gains and losses on sales are  included in  noninterest  income and are computed
under the specific identification method.

Mortgage-backed and related securities

Mortgage-backed securities, held to maturity,  represent participating interests
in pools of  long-term  first  mortgage  loans  originated  and  serviced by the
issuers of the  securities.  These  securities  are carried at unpaid  principal
balances,  adjusted for  unamortized  premiums and discounts as the Bank has the
ability and intent to hold such  securities to maturity.  Premiums and discounts
are amortized using the interest method over the remaining period to contractual
maturity,  adjusted for  anticipated  prepayments.  If such  securities are sold
prior  to  maturity,   gains  and  losses  are  determined  using  the  specific
identification method.

Mortgage-backed securities, available for sale, consisted of a mutual fund - AMF
adjustable rate mortgage  portfolio and U.S.  Government and agency  securities.
Securities  classified as available for sale are carried at their current market
value.  The difference  between the amortized cost and current market value, net
of deferred  income tax, is reflected  as a component  of equity  capital and is
designated as unrealized holding gain/loss on securities available for sale.

                          June 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995


Note 1 - Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Loans held for sale

Mortgage  loans  originated  and intended for sale in the  secondary  market are
carried  at the lower of cost or  estimated  fair  value in the  aggregate.  Net
unrealized  losses  are  recognized  in a  valuation  allowance  by  charges  to
noninterest income.

Loans and allowances for credit losses

The  Company  adopted the  provisions  of  Statements  of  Financial  Accounting
Standards  No.114,  Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan (SFAS 114),
and  Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income  Recognition  and
Disclosures  (SFAS 118),  as of July 1, 1996.  The  adoption has had no material
effect on the financial position or operating results of the Company nor does it
have any effect on the comparability of financial statement information.

Loans  receivable  that  management  has the intent and  ability to hold for the
foreseeable  future,  or until maturity or pay off, are carried at their face or
par values,  net of unearned  discounts,  participation or whole-loan  interests
owned by  others,  unearned  loan fees,  undisbursed  loans in  process,  and an
allowance for credit losses.

Valuation  allowances  for estimated  credit losses on loans are  established by
charges to income when any material and estimable  decline in value is deemed to
have occurred.  The determination of the adequacy of the valuation  allowance is
based on a detailed  analysis  of  individual  loans  with known or  anticipated
adverse performance  characteristics,  and includes  consideration of historical
patterns,   industry  experience,   current  economic  conditions,   changes  in
composition and risk  characteristics  of the loan portfolio,  and other factors
deemed relevant to the collectibility of the loans currently outstanding. A loan
is considered  impaired when,  based on current  information  and events,  it is
probable  that all amounts due  according to the  contractual  terms of the loan
agreement will not be  collectible.  Allowances for impaired loans are generally
determined  based on collateral  values or the present  value of estimated  cash
flows.  The  allowance is increased by a provision for credit  losses,  which is
charged to expense, and reduced by charge-offs, net of recoveries.

Loans that are 90 days or more past due are  individually  reviewed for ultimate
collectibility.  Uncollectible interest on loans that are contractually past due
is charged off, or an allowance is established  based on  management's  periodic
evaluation. The allowance is established by a charge to interest income equal to
all interest previously accrued,  and income is subsequently  recognized only to
the extent that cash payments are received until, in management's  judgment, the
borrower's  ability to make periodic interest and principal  payments is back to
normal, in which case the loan is returned to accrual status.

Foreclosed real estate

Foreclosed  real  estate  owned,  if  any,  consists  of  property  acquired  by
foreclosure on delinquent loans or by deed in lieu of foreclosure. Such property
is  recorded  initially  at the lower of cost or fair value and is  subsequently
maintained at the lower of cost or fair value minus the estimated costs to sell.

Property, equipment and depreciation

The various  classes of property are stated at cost and are  depreciated  by the
straight-line  method over their  estimated  useful  lives of 10 to 50 years for
buildings  and  improvements  and 3 to 12 years  for  furniture,  fixtures,  and
equipment.   Repairs  are  expensed  as  incurred.   The  cost  and  accumulated
depreciation of property are eliminated from the accounts upon disposal, and any
resulting gain or loss is included in the determination of net income.

Note 1 - Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Income taxes

Deferred  income taxes are  recognized  for the tax  consequences  of "temporary
differences" by applying enacted  statutory tax rates applicable to future years
to  differences  between the financial  statement  carrying  amounts and the tax
bases of existing  assets and  liabilities.  The effect of a change in tax rates
upon  deferred  taxes is  recognized  in income in the period that  includes the
enactment date.

Prior to 1996,  savings  banks  that met  certain  definitional  tests and other
conditions  prescribed  by  the  Internal  Revenue  Code  were  allowed,  within
limitations,  to deduct from taxable  income an allowance for bad debts based on
actual  loss  experience,  a  percentage  of taxable  income  (8%)  before  such
deduction,  or an amount based on a percentage of eligible loans. The cumulative
bad debt  reserve,  upon  which no  taxes  have  been  paid,  was  approximately
$1,947,000 as of June 30, 1997.

As a result of 1996 tax  legislation,  the Company will compute its tax bad debt
deduction by use of the actual charge-off  method,  for tax years beginning with
July 1, 1996. According to the legislation, "applicable excess reserves" must be
recaptured as taxable  income over five years  beginning  with fiscal year 1997.
Thrifts can delay those payments by two years if they meet a residential lending
requirement.  The  amount to be  recaptured  is the  excess  of the  accumulated
reserves  since  1987 over the amount  allowed  by use of the actual  charge-off
method for those years.  Since the Bank has provided deferred taxes on those bad
debt  reserves  accumulated  since 1987,  management  does not believe  that the
legislation will have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

Loan origination fees, costs, discounts and premiums

Loan  origination  fees  are  accounted  for in  accordance  with  Statement  of
Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 91, Accounting for  Nonrefundable  Fees and
Costs Associated with Originating or Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct Costs of
Leases  (SFAS 91).  Under SFAS 91,  loan  origination  and  commitment  fees and
certain  direct loan  origination  costs are  deferred.  Upon the  expiration of
unfunded commitments,  the related fees are recognized into income as loan fees.
Loan  origination  fees on  funded  commitments  and  related  direct  costs are
amortized into income on loans as yield adjustments over the contractual life of
related loans using the level-yield method.

Discounts  and premiums on loans  purchased are  recognized  in interest  income
using the level-yield method over the average life of the loan.

Sales of mortgage loans, mortgage-related securities and foreclosed real estate

Gains and losses on the sales of loans,  participation  interest  in loans,  and
foreclosed real estate are accounted for by imputing gain or loss on those sales
where a yield  rate  guaranteed  to the buyer is more or less than the  contract
interest  rate  being  collected,  in the case of loans,  and  where  foreclosed
property is sold on financing  terms more or less  favorable than the prevailing
market terms for similar  property.  Such gains or losses are  recognized in the
financial  statements  for the year of sale.  The Bank services  loans that have
been sold with  servicing  retained.  Such loan balances are not included in the
accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition.

Note 1 - Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Advertising

The Company expenses most advertising costs as incurred. Such expenses are shown
in the  consolidated  statements  of income.  As of June 30, 1997 and 1996,  the
Company's   statements  of  financial   condition  included  $2,000  of  prepaid
advertising.

Earnings per share

Earnings  per share of common  stock for the year ended June 30,  1997 have been
computed by dividing the net income by the weighted-average  number of shares of
common stock and common stock  equivalents  outstanding  during the year.  Stock
options are regarded as common stock equivalents and are, therefore,  considered
in both primary and fully diluted earnings per share calculations.  Common stock
equivalents are computed using the treasury stock method.

Shares  acquired  by the  employee  stock  benefit  plan  are  accounted  for in
accordance  with AICPA  Statement of Position 93-6 and are not considered in the
weighted-average  shares  outstanding  until the shares  have been earned by the
employees and/or committed to be released.

Earnings  per share of common  stock for the year ended June 30,  1995 have been
determined by dividing the net income for the 12-month  period by the calculated
weighted  average number of shares of common stock and common stock  equivalents
which would have been  outstanding  if the  conversion had occurred on the first
day of the fiscal year rather than on October 7, 1994.

The  weighted-average  number of  common  and  common  stock  equivalent  shares
outstanding for the periods indicated are as follows:

                                                   Primary        Fully Diluted
                                                   Shares            Shares
                                                   ------            ------

        October 7, 1994 - June 30, 1995            570,590           570,590
        July 1, 1995 - June 30, 1996               506,673           506,673
        July 1, 1996 - June 30, 1997               482,345           482,345

Fair values of financial instruments

The  following  methods and  assumptions  were used by the Company in estimating
fair values of financial instruments as disclosed herein:

- -    Cash  and  short-term  instruments  - The  carrying  amounts  of  cash  and
     short-term instruments approximate their fair value.

- -    Available-for-sale  and  held-to-maturity  securities  -  Fair  values  for
     securities,  excluding  restricted equity  securities,  are based on quoted
     market  prices.   The  carrying  values  of  restricted  equity  securities
     approximate fair values.

                          June 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995


Note 1 - Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

- -   Loans   receivable   -  Fair  values  are  based  on  carrying   values  for
    variable-rate  loans that reprice  frequently and have no significant change
    in credit  risk.  Fair  values for  certain  mortgage  loans  (for  example,
    one-to-four family residential) and other consumer loans are based on quoted
    market  prices of similar  loans  sold in  conjunction  with  securitization
    transactions, adjusted for differences in loan characteristics.  Fair values
    for  commercial  real  estate  and  commercial  loans  are  estimated  using
    discounted cash flow analyses and interest rates currently being offered for
    loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. Fair values
    for impaired  loans are  estimated  using  discounted  cash flow analyses or
    underlying collateral values, where applicable.

- -   Deposit  liabilities - The fair values disclosed for demand deposits are, by
    definition,  equal to the  amount  payable on demand at the  reporting  date
    (that is, their carrying  amounts).  The carrying amounts of  variable-rate,
    fixed-term   money-market   accounts  and   certificates  of  deposit  (CDs)
    approximate  their  fair  values at the  reporting  date.  Fair  values  for
    fixed-rate CDs are estimated using a discounted cash flow  calculation  that
    applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule
    of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.

- -   Short-term  borrowings - The carrying  amounts of federal  funds  purchased,
    borrowings under  repurchase  agreements,  and other  short-term  borrowings
    maturing within 90 days approximate their fair values.  Fair values of other
    short-term borrowing are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based
    on the Company's  current  incremental  borrowing rates for similar types of
    borrowing arrangements.

- -   Long-term  debt - The  fair  values  of the  Company's  long-term  debt  are
    estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the Company's current
    incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

- -    Accrued  interest - The carrying  amounts of accrued  interest  approximate
     their fair values.

- -   Off-balance-sheet  instruments - Fair values for  off-balance-sheet  lending
    commitments  are  based on fees  currently  charged  to enter  into  similar
    agreements,  taking into account the remaining  terms of the  agreements and
    counterparties' credit standings.

Conversion to stock ownership

At a  special  meeting  on July 20,  1994,  the  members  of the  Bank  approved
management's plan to convert the Savings Bank from a Federal Mutual to a Federal
Stock Savings Bank. The plan called for the formation of SWVA  Bancshares,  Inc.
which  would own the stock of the Bank upon its  conversion  to a stock  form of
ownership.  The stock of the Parent  Company  would  then be  offered  through a
Subscription and Community Offering to the Bank's  tax-qualified  employee stock
plans, eligible account holders and others. The transaction was in the form of a
pooling of interests.

On October 7, 1994,  the Parent  Company issued 570,590 shares of $.10 par value
common  stock at $10 per share and became the  parent  company of the Bank.  Net
proceeds,  after deducting  conversion  expenses and underwriters'  discounts of
$469,000,  were  $5,242,000  and are  reflected as common  stock and  additional
paid-in  capital  in  the  accompanying  consolidated  statements  of  financial
condition.  The Parent  Company's  Articles  of  Incorporation  contain  certain
limitations on voting rights and other "anti-takeover" provisions.

Note 1 - Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

As part of the  conversion  to stock form,  the Bank  formed an  Employee  Stock
Ownership Plan (ESOP) for eligible  employees.  The ESOP purchased 45,647 common
shares of the Parent Company issued in the conversion, which purchase was funded
by a loan  from the  Parent  Company.  In  accordance  with  generally  accepted
accounting  principles,  the unpaid balance of the ESOP loan has been eliminated
on the Company's consolidated  statements of financial condition.  Stockholders'
equity has been reduced by the aggregate  purchase  price of the shares owned by
the ESOP net of the shares  committed to be released.  Contributions to the ESOP
by the Savings Bank are made to fund the principal and interest  payments on the
debt of the  ESOP.  As of June 30,  1997,  a total  of  13,696  shares  had been
released.

Impact of new accounting standards

In  April  1995,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  ("FASB")  issued
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
be Disposed Of (SFAS 121). This statement  establishes standards for recognizing
and  measuring  the  impairment  of  long-lived  assets,   certain  identifiable
intangibles,  and  goodwill,  when an entity is unable to recover  the  carrying
amount of those assets.  This statement is effective for the year beginning July
1, 1996.  SFAS 121 did not have a  material  effect on the  Company's  financial
statements in the year of adoption.

In May 1995, FASB issued  Accounting for Mortgage  Servicing  Rights (SFAS 122),
which amends  Accounting for Certain Mortgage  Banking  Activities (SFAS 65), to
require that a mortgage banking  enterprise  recognize as separate assets rights
to  service  mortgage  loans for  others,  however  those  servicing  rights are
acquired.  SFAS 122  requires  that a  mortgage  banking  enterprise  assess its
capitalized  mortgage servicing rights for impairment based on the fair value of
those rights and is effective for the year beginning July 1, 1996.  SFAS 122 was
applied  prospectively  and did not  have a  material  effect  on the  Company's
financial statements in the year of adoption.

In October 1995, FASB issued Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123),
which became  effective for the Company  beginning July 1, 1996.  This statement
requires  increased  disclosure of compensation  expense arising from both fixed
and performance stock  compensation  plans. Such expense is measured as the fair
value of the award at the date it is granted using an option-pricing  model that
takes  into  account  the  exercise  price  and  expected  volatility,  expected
dividends on the stock and the expected risk-free rate of return during the term
of the option.  The  compensation  cost is recognized  over the service  period,
usually the period from the grant date to the vesting date. SFAS 123 encourages,
rather than  requires,  companies to adopt a new method that  accounts for stock
compensation  awards  based on their  estimated  fair value at the date they are
granted.  Companies  are  permitted,   however,  to  continue  accounting  under
Accounting  Principles  Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25. The Company has elected to
continue to apply APB Opinion No. 25 in their  financial  statements.  Pro forma
net  income  and  earnings  per  share  are  presented  in  accordance  with the
requirements of SFAS 123 (see Note 10).

Note 1 - Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

In June 1996, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board issued its Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 125 (SFAS 125),  Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. This Statement
provides  accounting  and  reporting  standards  for  transfers and servicing of
financial  assets  and  extinguishments  of  liabilities.  After a  transfer  of
financial  assets,  an entity  recognizes the financial and servicing  assets it
controls and the liabilities it has incurred, derecognizes financial assets when
control has been surrendered, and derecognizes liabilities when extinguished. In
addition,  a transfer of  financial  assets in which the  transferor  surrenders
control  over  those  assets  is  accounted  for as a sale  to the  extent  that
consideration  other  than  beneficial  interest  in the  transferred  assets is
received in  exchange.  SFAS 125 is effective  for  transfers  and  servicing of
financial  assets and  extinguishments  of liabilities  occurring after June 30,
1997,  and is to be  applied  prospectively.  Management  does  not  expect  the
application  of this  pronouncement  to have a material  effect on the financial
statements of the Company.

Reclassifications

Certain items in the 1996 financial  statements have been reclassified to afford
comparability with the 1997 financial statements.


Note 2 - Investment securities

Investments consisting of U.S. government,  mortgage-backed and other securities
at June 30 of each year were as follows in thousands:

Note 8 - SAIF premium assessment

Pursuant to the Economic Growth and Paperwork  Reduction Act of 1996 (Act),  the
FDIC imposed a special  assessment on SAIF members to capitalize the SAIF at the
designated  reserve level of 1.25% of insured deposits as of September 30, 1996.
Based on the Company's deposits as of March 31, 1995, the date for measuring the
amount of the special assessment pursuant to the Act, the Company paid a special
assessment of $355,000 on November 27, 1996 to capitalize the SAIF. The FDIC has
lowered the premium for deposit  insurance to a level  necessary to maintain the
SAIF at its required reserve level. The Bank's premium for deposit insurance for
1997 is currently .0657% of assessable deposits.

Note 9 - Income taxes

The  Bank's  portion  of  the  consolidated   taxable  income  was  computed  by
application  of  Section  593(b)(2)  of the U.S.  Internal  Revenue  Code  which
provides a special deduction for bad debts. The bad debt deduction may be a "tax
preference item" to which a minimum tax may apply.

The 1996 federal tax legislation  repealed the benefits of Section  593(b)(2) of
the U.S.  Internal Revenue Code. For ensuing fiscal years, the Bank will compute
its tax bad debt deduction by use of the "experience method" which is based on a
moving  five-year  average  of actual  loss  experience.  The  legislation  also
provides that "applicable  excess reserves" must be recaptured as taxable income
over five years  beginning in fiscal 1997.  The amount to be  recaptured  is the
excess of the accumulated  reserves since 1987 over the amount allowed by use of
the experience method for those years.

The  consolidated  provision for income taxes for the years ended June 30, 1997,
1996 and 1995, consisted of the following elements in thousands:

Note 10 - Retirement plans and employee benefit programs

The Company has a multi-employer defined benefit pension plan with The Financial
Institution's  Retirement  Fund.  Pension  expense is the amount of the required
contribution,  and a liability is recognized  for such  contributions  which are
unpaid at the end of the fiscal year.

Pension expense for the three years ended June 30, 1997 was as follows.

The multi-employer  defined benefit plan covers  substantially all employees who
have reached age 21 and who have completed one year of service. The benefits are
based on length of service and high five-year average earnings.  However,  in no
event will the benefits be less than those vested  through June 30, 1992 under a
previous plan.

Note 10 - Retirement plans and employee benefit programs (continued)

Supplemental executive retirement plan

The Company has deferred  compensation  agreements  with two principal  officers
which  provide for  retirement  benefits  supplementary  to those of the pension
plan.  As of June 30, 1997 and 1996,  cumulative  accruals  under the  contracts
totaled $175,000 and $150,000, respectively, and constituted general obligations
of the Company.

Employee stock ownership plan

At the time of the stock  conversion,  the Bank  established  an Employee  Stock
Ownership  Plan  covering all  full-time  employees  over the age of 21, with at
least 1,000 hours of service  within a plan year.  The ESOP borrowed  funds from
the Company to purchase a total of 45,647 shares of the Company's  common stock,
the loan being  collateralized  by the common stock.  Contributions by the Bank,
along with dividends received on unallocated  shares, are used to repay the loan
with shares being  released from the  Company's  lien  proportional  to the loan
repayments.  Annually  on June 30,  the  released  shares are  allocated  to the
participants  in the  same  proportion  that  their  wages  bear  to  the  total
compensation of all of the participants.  The Company has released 13,696 shares
of the common  stock as of June 30,  1997.  The  Company  recognized  $7,800 and
$5,000 as accrued  compensation costs in 1997 and 1996,  respectively.  The fair
value of unearned ESOP shares totaled $511,000 and $570,000 at June 30, 1997 and
1996, respectively. There were no commitments to repurchase ESOP shares.

The Company accounts for its ESOP in accordance with Statement of Position 93-6.
Accordingly,  the shares  pledged as  collateral  are reported as a reduction of
stockholders' equity in the consolidated  statements of financial condition.  As
shares are released from collateral,  the Company reports  compensation  expense
equal  to the  current  market  price  of the  shares,  and  the  shares  become
outstanding  for earnings per share  computations.  Dividends on allocated  ESOP
shares  are  recorded  as  a  reduction  of  retained  earnings;   dividends  on
unallocated ESOP shares are recorded as a reduction of debt.

Recognition and retention plan

The stockholders approved the establishment of a Management Stock Bonus Plan and
Trust  (MSBP) on October  25,  1995.  The plan  states  that the Trust shall not
purchase  more than 4% of the  aggregate  shares of common  stock  issued by the
Company in the  mutual-to-stock  conversion of the Bank (22,823 shares).  During
1996,  the Bank  purchased  22,812  shares of the  Company's  common stock at an
average  price of $17.02  per share to be  awarded to  directors,  officers  and
employees in  accordance  with the  provision of the  Recognition  and Retention
Plan.  The costs of the shares  awarded  under the plan are recorded as unearned
compensation,  a contra  equity  account,  and are  recognized  as an expense in
accordance  with the vesting  requirements  under the plan.  For the years ended
June 30, 1997 and 1996, the amounts included in compensation expense was $54,000
and  $36,000,  respectively.  The  status of the shares in this plan at June 30,
1997 is shown as follows.

The  stockholders  also  approved  the  establishment  of a stock option plan on

Note 10 - Retirement plans and employee benefit programs (continued)

Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by
SFAS 123,  and has been  determined  as if the  Company  had  accounted  for its
employee stock options under the fair value method of that  Statement.  The fair
value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes
option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:  risk-free
interest rate of 6.89%; dividend yields of 3.20%;  volatility factor of 27%; and
a weighted-average expected life of the option of 6.76 years.

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the
fair value of traded  options which have no vesting  restrictions  and are fully
transferable.  In addition,  option valuation models require the input of highly
subjective  assumptions  including the expected stock price volatility.  Because
the  Company's  employee  stock  options  have   characteristics   significantly
different from those of traded  options,  and because  changes in the subjective
input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's
opinion,  the  existing  models do not  necessarily  provide a  reliable  single
measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

For purposes of pro forma  disclosures,  the estimated fair value of the options
is amortized to expense over the options'  vesting  period.  The  Company's  pro
forma information follows:

The Company is party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the
normal course of business to meet the financing  needs of its  customers.  These
financial  instruments consist primarily of commitments to extend credit.  These
instruments  involve,  to varying degrees,  elements of credit risk in excess of
the amount recognized in the statements of financial  position.  The contract or
notional  amounts of those  instruments  reflect the extent of  involvement  the
Company has in particular classes of financial instruments.

The  Company's  exposure  to credit loss in the event of  nonperformance  by the
other party to the  financial  instrument  for  commitments  to extend credit is
represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The Company
uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional  obligations
as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

Commitments  to extend  credit are  agreements  to lend to a customer as long as
there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.  Commitments
generally  have fixed  expiration  dates or other  termination  clauses  and may
require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to be drawn
upon, the total commitment amounts generally represent future cash requirements.
The Company evaluates each customer's credit-worthiness on a case-by-case basis.
The amount of  collateral  deemed  necessary  by the Company  upon  extension of
credit  is  based  on  management's  credit  evaluation  of  the  counter-party.
Collateral normally consists of real property.

Note 11 - Financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk (continued)

The Company's  commitments to finance real estate  acquisitions and construction
were $2,994,000 at June 30, 1997, $3,929,000 at June 30, 1996, and $2,561,000 at
June  30,  1995.  As of June  30,  1997,  the  Company  had  contracted  to sell
$2,994,000  of the loans to be  financed.  No loss is  anticipated.  At June 30,
1997,  outstanding  letters of credit  totaled  $245,000,  and unfunded lines of
credit  totaled  $1,086,000.  There were no loans sold with recourse in 1997 and
1996.


Note 12 - Restricted retained earnings

The Bank is  required  by federal  insurance  regulations  to  maintain  certain
reserves for the sole purpose of absorbing  losses. A federal  insurance reserve
was established for this purpose by an  appropriation of retained  earnings.  In
1980, the  requirement  for a separate  federal  insurance  reserve  account was
eliminated.  However,  amounts  previously  credited  to this  separate  reserve
account are designated "restricted retained earnings" and shall be used only for
absorption of losses.  The amount so designated  totaled  $1,767,000 at June 30,
1997 and $1,790,000 at both June 30, 1996 and 1995.

In accordance  with the  regulations  concerning  conversion  from a mutual to a
stock  organization,  the Bank was required to establish a  liquidation  account
equal  to its net  worth  as of the  latest  statement  of  financial  condition
contained in the final prospectus.  Such liquidation account is to be maintained
as of the eligibility  record date (March 31, 1993) or supplemental  eligibility
record  date (June 30,  1994) for the  benefit of  depositors  who  continue  to
maintain  their  deposits  in the Bank  after the  conversion  in the event of a
complete  liquidation of the Bank. If, however, on any annual closing date (June
30) of the Bank,  the amount in any  deposit  account is less than the amount in
such deposit  account on March 30, 1993 or June 30,  1994,  then the interest in
the liquidation account relating to such deposit account would be reduced by the
amount of such reduction,  and such interest will cease to exist if such deposit
account is closed. The Bank may not declare or pay a cash dividend or repurchase
any of its capital stock if the effect  thereof would cause the net worth of the
Bank to be reduced below either the amount required for the liquidation  account
or  the  minimum  regulatory  capital  requirements.   At  June  30,  1997,  the
liquidation account,  unadjusted for customer  withdrawals,  totaled $4,166,000,
and minimum regulatory capital was $3,003,000.

See Note 14 for Bank regulatory capital requirements.


Note 13 - Significant group concentrations of credit risk

The Company  grants  residential,  commercial,  and consumer  loans to customers
mainly in the  southwest  region of Virginia.  The Company has a loan  portfolio
consisting  principally of residential  mortgage loans and is not dependent upon
any  particular  economic  sector,  although  the  portfolio  as a whole  may be
affected by general economic factors of the southwest Virginia region.

At June 30, 1997, the Company had commercial  bank deposits of $84,000 in excess
of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limit.

Note 14 - Bank regulatory matters

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital  requirements  administered by
the federal banking agencies.  Failure to meet minimum capital  requirements can
initiate  certain  mandatory and possibly  additional  discretionary  actions by
regulators  that,  if  undertaken,  could have a direct  material  effect on the
Bank's  financial   statements.   Under  capital  adequacy  guidelines  and  the
regulatory  framework for prompt corrective  action, the Bank must meet specific
capital  guidelines  that involve  quantitative  measures of the Bank's  assets,
liabilities,  and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory
accounting  practices.  The Bank's capital amounts and  classification  are also
subject to  qualitative  judgments  by the  regulators  about  components,  risk
weightings, and other factors.

The  Office  of  Thrift   Supervision's   capital   regulations  require  thrift
institutions to maintain capital at least sufficient to meet three requirements:
tangible  capital,   core  capital,  and  risk-based  capital.   Management  has
determined  that  the  Bank's  capital  meets  and  exceeds  all  three  capital
requirements as follows as of June 30, 1997 and 1996, in thousands. Tangible and
core  capital  levels  are  shown as a  percentage  of  adjusted  total  assets.
Risk-based capital levels are shown as a percentage of risk-weighted assets:
