                         PART 1 - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

                          JAMES RIVER BANKSHARES, INC.
                    NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)


Note 1. Basis of Presentation

      The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not
include all of the disclosures and notes required by generally accepted
accounting principles. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. The results of operations for the three month and nine month
periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 are not necessarily indicative of
results that may be expected for the entire year or any interim period. The
interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the December 31,
1997 Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K, including the 1997 consolidated
financial statements of James River Bankshares, Inc. ("James River").


Note 2. Earnings and Dividends Per Share


      On September 25, 1997, the Board of Directors declared a 3-for-2 stock
split effected in the form of a 50% stock dividend, which was distributed
November 7, 1997. Accordingly, the average number of shares outstanding and per
share amounts for earnings, dividends declared, and book value have been
restated for all periods presented to give effect to the split.

      James River adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
128, "Earnings Per Share," on December 31, 1997. Accordingly, a dual
presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share is included in the
Consolidated Statements of Income. Earnings per share amounts for prior periods
have been restated to conform with the new presentation. The effect of the new
standard was not material.

      Cash dividends paid in the first, second, and third quarters of 1998
amounted to $.10 per share per quarter. For the first, second, and third
quarters ended September 30, 1997, cash dividends paid amounted to $.09 per
share per quarter.



Note 3.  Comprehensive Income

      On January 1, 1998, James River adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income."  SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting and
displaying comprehensive income and its components.  The adoption of SFAS No.
130 did not have a material impact on the Company.  All of James River's other
comprehensive income relates to net unrealized gains (losses) on
available-for-sale securities.



<PAGE>



      Comprehensive income consists of the following for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998.



     Net income                                           $ 3,442,000

securities available-for-sale are shown in the following table.

                  Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis

                of Financial Condition and Results of Operations



      Information contained in this Form 10-Q may contain forward looking
statements with respect to James River Bankshares, Inc.'s ("James River" or the
"Company") financial condition and results of operations. These forward looking
statements may involve certain risks and uncertainties that may cause actual
results to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward looking
statements. Risks and uncertainties that may affect the financial condition and
results of operations of James River include, but are not limited to, general
economic and business conditions, interest rate fluctuations, competition from
banks and other financial service providers, new financial products and
services, risks inherent in making loans including repayment risks and changing
collateral values, changing trends in customer profiles, technological changes,
and changes in laws and regulations applicable to James River and its
subsidiaries. Although James River believes that its expectations with respect
to any forward looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions within
the limits of its knowledge of its business and operations, there can be no
assurance that actual results will not differ materially from any future results
that may be expressed or implied by forward looking statements.

<PAGE>

      Total liabilities at September 30, 1998 were $362.8 million compared to
$349.7 million at December 31, 1997, a 3.8%, or $13.1 million, increase.

deposits and average non-interest bearing deposits increased $9.7 million and
$2.9 million, respectively. Average Federal funds purchased decreased $619,000
in the same period.


Non-performing Assets


      Non-performing assets of James River consist of non-accrual loans and
property acquired through foreclosure or repossession. Non-performing assets
totaled $311,000 on September 30, 1998, compared to $1.5 million on December 31,
1997. On September 30, 1998, non-accrual loans totaled $173,000, of which
$100,000 was secured by real estate. Non-accrual loans totaled $897,000 on
December 31, 1997, of which $647,000 was secured by real estate. Foreclosed real
estate accounted for $138,000 of non-performing assets at September 30, 1998
compared to $573,000 at December 31, 1997. Management does not anticipate any
material loss relating to non-performing assets.

      Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing were $416,000 and
$431,000 on September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively. Of these
loans, loans secured by real estate totaled $255,000 on September 30, 1998 and
$233,000 on December 31, 1997.

      The recorded investment in impaired loans requiring an allowance for loan
losses as determined in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan,"
as amended by SFAS No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a
Loan-Income Recognition and Disclosures," was $1.8 million and $2.0 million at
September 30, 1998, and December 31, 1997, respectively. The portion of the
allowance for loan losses allocated to the impaired loan balance was $254,000
and $423,000 at September 30, 1998, and December 31, 1997, respectively.

      The allowance for loan losses is maintained by James River at what
management considers to be a realistic level consistent with the level and type
of loans, and taking into consideration the non-accrual and past due loans
detailed above. No additional provisions, other than ordinary provisions, are
being made to the allowance for loan losses.

      James River's allowance for loan losses of $3.7 million was 1.34% of total
loans on September 30, 1998. On December 31, 1997, the allowance for loan losses
of $3.5 million was 1.31% of total loans.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Operating Results


      For the quarter ended September 30, 1998, James River's net income was
$1,021,000 compared to $968,000 for the same period of 1997, a 5.5% increase.
Diluted earnings per share in the third quarter increased 3.9% to $.27 in 1998
from $.26 in 1997. The increases in net income and earnings per share were
attributable to a 1.1% increase in net interest income and a 32.4% increase in
non-interest income. Return on average assets and return on average equity were
1.00% and 9.53%, respectively, in the third quarter of 1998 compared to 1.00%
and 9.87% in the comparable period in 1997.

      For the nine months ended September 30, 1998, James River's net income was
$3,442,000 compared to $2,752,000 for the same period of 1997, a 25.1% increase.
Diluted earnings per share in the first nine months of 1998 increased 23.0% to
$.91 from $.74 in the comparable 1997 period. The increases in net income and
earnings per share were attributable to a 4.8% increase in net interest income
and a 54.8% increase in non-interest income. Return on average assets and return
on average equity for the first nine months of 1998 were 1.14% and 10.96%,
respectively, compared to .96% and 9.57% in the comparable period in 1997.


Net Interest Income


      Net interest income during the quarter ended September 30, 1998 increased
$42,000 to $4.0 million, up 1.1% from the $3.9 million for the quarter ended
September 30, 1997. The increase in net interest income was due largely to an
increase in loans of $10.6 million from September 30, 1997 to September 30,
1998. With increased volume, interest and fee income on loans increased 1.7% in
the third quarter of 1998 to $6.1 million, $99,000 more than the $6.0 million
earned in the same period of 1997. During the third quarter of 1998, income on
investment securities decreased $53,000, or 3.9%, to $1.3 million, compared to
the third quarter of 1997. Interest expense on deposits increased 3.6% in the
third quarter from $3.6 million in 1997 to $3.7 million for the same period in
1998. The net interest margin in the third quarter of 1998 was 4.34% compared to
4.51% in the third quarter of 1997.

      Net interest income during the nine months ended September 30, 1998
increased $544,000 to $12.0 million, up 4.8% from the $11.4 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997. Interest and fee income on loans increased 5.4%
in the first nine months of 1998 to $18.3 million, $937,000 more than the $17.4
million earned in the same period of 1997. During the first nine months of 1998,
income on investment securities decreased $541,000, or 12.5%, to $3.8 million,
compared to the first nine months of 1997. Interest expense on deposits
increased 3.5% in the first nine months from $10.6 million in 1997 to $10.9
million for the same period in 1998. The net interest margin in the first nine
months of 1998 was 4.42% compared to 4.44% in the first nine months of 1997.

Provision for Loan Losses



      The provision for loan losses during the quarter ended September 30, 1998
was $140,000, up $21,000, or 17.7%, from the respective period in 1997.

      The provision for loan losses during the nine months ended September 30,
1998 was $367,000, up $32,000, or 10.0%, from the respective period in 1997.
This increase was due primarily to an increase in total loans of $10.6 million,
or 4.0%, to $277.0 million at September 30, 1998, compared to $266.4 million at
September 30, 1997.


Non-Interest Income


      For the three months ending September 30, 1998, non-interest income was
$609,000, up $149,000, or 32.4%, compared to the respective period in 1997. The
increase was predominately attributable to service charges on deposit accounts.

      For the nine months ending September 30, 1998, non-interest income was
$2.2 million, up $762,000, or 54.8%, compared to the respective period in 1997.
The increase was predominately attributable to gains recognized from the sale of
equity securities of $439,000 and income recorded from mortgage servicing rights
of $128,000 in the first quarter of 1998. In addition, in the second quarter of
1998 income recorded from gains on the sale of real estate contributed $84,000
to the increase in non-interest income.



Non-Interest Expense



      Non-interest expense during the third quarter of 1998 increased $154,000,
or 5.3%, to $3.0 million compared with the 1997 quarter. The increase was
primarily attributable to a 5.8% increase in personnel expenses due in part to
staffing branch offices scheduled to open in the fourth quarter of 1998, and a
9.1% increase in other expenses. The increase in non-interest expense is
partially attributable to costs associated with the opening of James River's
administrative office building and the scheduled openings of four branch banking
offices during the fourth quarter of 1998. It is expected that non-interest
expense will continue to increase at above normal levels as a result of these
factors, as well as start-up costs associated with the formation of a new
mortgage subsidiary.

      Non-interest expense during the first nine months of 1998 increased
$364,000, or 4.2%, to $9.0 million compared with the first nine months of 1997.
The increase was primarily attributable to a 3.9% increase in personnel
expenses, and a 7.2% increase in other expenses, due in part to higher
professional fees.



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


Liquidity and Interest Sensitivity


      Liquidity represents an institution's ability to meet present and future
financial obligations through either the sale or maturity of existing assets or
the acquisition of additional funds through liability management. Liquid assets
include cash, interest bearing deposits with banks, federal funds sold,

<PAGE>

investments, and loans maturing within one year. As a result of James River's
management of liquid assets and the ability to generate liquidity through
liability funding, management believes that James River maintains overall
liquidity sufficient to satisfy its depositors' requirements and meet its
customers' credit needs.

      At September 30, 1998, James River had $57.7 million in undisbursed loan
commitments and expects to have sufficient funds available to meet current loan
origination commitments. Funding is expected to be in the normal course of
business primarily through loan repayments, prepayments, and deposit growth. As
additional funding, James River holds $88.3 million in investment securities. Of
this amount, only $9.7 million is classified as held-to-maturity and is not
readily available for sale. Of the $78.6 million classified as
available-for-sale, $8.3 million matures in less than one year, and an
additional $44.5 million matures between 1 and 5 years.

      James River has no long-term debt. Almost the entire deposit base is made
up of core deposits, with only 9.0% of total deposits composed of certificates
of deposit of $100,000 and over.


Capital Resources


      Total shareholders' equity amounted to $43.5 million at September 30, 1998
compared to $40.4 million at December 31, 1997. James River's leverage ratio was
9.92%, with a tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 15.84% and a total risk-based
capital ratio of 17.10%.


RECENT ACCOUNTING CHANGES

      Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 133, "Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", was issued in June 1998.
This Statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments, including certain derivative information embedded in other
contracts, (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities.
It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or
liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments
at fair value. This Statement is effective for all fiscal quarters or fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 1999. Although management is currently studying
this Statement, James River does not expect this Statement to materially affect
its financial condition or results of operations.

      The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of
Position (SOP) 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-up Activities", in April
1998. The SOP requires such costs to be expensed as incurred instead of being
capitalized and amortized. It applies to start-up activities and costs of
organization of both development stage and established operating entities, and
it changes existing practice for some industries. The SOP broadly defines
start-up activities as those one-time activities that relate to the opening of a
new facility, introduction of a new product or service, doing business in a new
territory, initiating a new process in an existing facility, doing business with
a new class of customer or beneficiary, or commencing some new operation. The
SOP is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1998. This SOP is not expected to materially affect James River's
financial condition or results of operations.

YEAR 2000 PROJECT


State of Readiness

      In its evaluation of Year 2000 readiness, James River and its subsidiaries
have examined their internal information technology systems, environmental
systems, and other non-information technology products and date sensitive
issues. In addition, James River has communicated with suppliers and significant
customers to determine their state of readiness.

      James River's Year 2000 Plan, which was approved in the fall of 1997 by
the Board of Directors, detailed the phases involved in the management of the
Year 2000 project, and James River is on target with the original dates
projected for each phase of the project. The phases and timetable for completion
of each remaining phase is described below.

      Awareness Phase - Completed third quarter 1997; 
      Assessment Phase - Completed first quarter 1998;
      Renovation Phase - No significant renovation to existing systems (hardware
          and software systems were Year 2000 compliant when purchased);
      Validation Phase - Testing currently on-going, to be completed by year 
          end 1998; and
      Implementation Phase - Completion no later than first quarter 1999.

      In the third quarter of 1998, James River entered into an agreement with
SBS Data Services, Inc. under which SBS will perform the data processing
function for James River. The decision to outsource this function was a business
decision and was not driven by Year 2000 issues or concerns about the Company's
ability to process in the new century. SBS provides data processing services to
many other banking companies and is subject to examination by Federal banking
authorities. SBS utilizes the same computer hardware and software currently used
by James River and has provided Year 2000 compliance certifications.

      In the validation phase currently in progress, testing has been performed
or is scheduled to be performed on the hardware and software for "mission
critical" systems and for all other software applications and hardware as well.
Also, testing is scheduled to be performed on all environmental systems
including security systems, heating and air conditioning units, and vault timers
among others, during the fourth quarter of this year.

      Several significant outside systems that James River is dependent upon are
provided by the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. Testing of these systems will
occur in the fourth quarter of 1998 and, potentially, into early 1999. The
schedule for testing these systems was delayed as the result of an internal
reorganization of the accounting and operations functions within the company.
James River decided to delay the testing until the reorganization was completed
in order to provide adequate testing of the systems that will be in place at
Year 2000. In addition, James River relies upon outside sources for investment
securities accounting and custodial services and stock transfer services. In
each case, James River has been provided with information regarding Year 2000
readiness and plans testing of these services in the first quarter of 1999.
James River also relies upon SBS Corporation for disaster recovery services for
its data processing. Upon transfer of data processing to SBS, disaster recovery
will continue to be provided by SBS at a back-up facility. SBS is subject to
examination by the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC)
Task Force on Year 2000. James River plans to conduct its own testing of the
disaster recovery capabilities in the fourth quarter of 1998 or the first
quarter of 1999.

<PAGE>

      In the quarter just ended, James River's subsidiary banks completed an
assessment of large commercial loan customers for compliance with Year 2000
issues, and are preparing a second written communication to all customers
regarding the status of the Company's Year 2000 efforts. James River is
committed to customer awareness and internal employee awareness for Year 2000.
The company newsletter, as well as training sessions, are utilized to keep
employees informed.

      James River's efforts to address Year 2000 issues are subject to
guidelines established by the FFIEC. Consequently, the Company's plan, and its
progress in implementing that plan, are subject to periodic examination by the
Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond.

The Costs to Address the Company's Year 2000 Issues

      At this stage, James River has incurred no material incremental costs
related to Year 2000. Research still supports the belief that any costs for
meeting the Year 2000 requirements will be insignificant. The Company's
projections for this project stand at $50,000, which is unchanged from the
Company's initial estimates. In addition, a non-cash charge of approximately
$61,000 may be incurred in 1999 to maintain back-up computer capabilities.

The Risks of the Company's Year 2000 Issues

      James River is subject to a variety of Year 2000 risks for which there are
no means to measure, test, or control. One such risk is that suppliers or
vendors upon whom James River depends will not be Year 2000 ready. James River
also is subject to difficulties experienced by local governments and businesses
and those on a state or national level that could have ramifications upon this
business and/or that of significant customers.

      Another significant risk to the Company for Year 2000 is the failure of
one or more business entities that have considerable loan volume with one or
more of the subsidiary banks. To assess that risk, James River recently
completed a survey of large commercial loan customers in an effort to assess the
ability of such customers to continue successfully past the century date change.
Preliminary results of this process showed no significant risks. James River
will continue to analyze those customers and their efforts to comply with the
requirements of Year 2000 for their business systems. Loan agreements allow the
Company to monitor these businesses and their financial performance to ensure
their on-going preparedness for Year 2000.

The Company's Contingency Plans

      James River continues to evaluate contingency plans with respect to the
Year 2000 issue. The manual processing of teller work as well as other
transactions such as loan payments, general ledger entries, etc. will be the
focus of the Company's contingency plan. Also, in conjunction with its decision
to enter into the data processing agreement with SBS, James River decided to
retain and maintain its current mainframe computer as part of the contingency
back-up plan.

        Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

      James River's primary market risk is exposure to interest rate risk.
Fluctuations in interest rates will impact both the level of interest income and
interest expense and the market value of James River's interest-earning assets
and interest-bearing liabilities. There were no material changes in James
River's market risk management strategy, as stated in James River's 1997 annual
report, during the first three quarters of 1998.
