Item  1. Description of Business

          General

Old Point Financial Corporation (the "Company") was
incorporated under the laws of Virginia on February 16,
1984, for the purpose of acquiring all the outstanding
common stock of The Old Point National Bank of Phoebus
(the "Bank"), in connection with the reorganization of
the Bank into a one bank holding company structure.  At
the annual meeting of the stockholders on March 27, 1984,
the proposed reorganization was approved by the requisite
stockholder vote.  At the effective date of the
reorganization on October 1, 1984, the Bank merged into
a newly formed national bank as a wholly owned subsidiary
of the Company, with each outstanding share of common
stock of the Bank being converted into five shares of
common stock of the Company.

The Company has no other subsidiaries and does not engage
in any activities other than acting as a holding company
for the common stock of the Bank.  The principal business
of the Company is conducted through the Bank, which
continues to conduct its business in substantially the
same manner and from the same offices as it had done
before the effective date of the reorganization.  The
Bank, therefore, accounts for substantially all of the
consolidated assets and revenues of the Company.

The Bank is a national banking association founded in
1922.  The Bank has thirteen offices in the cities of
Hampton and Newport News, and in James City and
York County, Virginia, and provides a full range of
banking and related financial services, including checking,
savings, certificates of deposit, and other depository services,
commercial, industrial, residential real estate and
consumer loan services, safekeeping services and trust
and estate services.

As of December 31, 1996, the Company had assets of $316.3
million, loans of $198.6 million, deposits of $263.5
million, and stockholders' equity of $32.4 million.  At
year end, the Company and the Bank had a total of 234
employees, 45 of whom were part-time.

Based on 1990 census figures, the population of the
Bank's trade area, which includes Hampton, Newport News,
Williamsburg, and James City and York County was approximately
394,000.  This area's economy is heavily influenced by
the two largest employers; military installations and
shipbuilding and ship repair.  These industries are
impacted by reductions in defense spending and personnel. 
Some of our customers are either employed at the various
military installations or at the shipyard, or they derive
some or all of their business from these two major
employers.  There are numerous military installations in
the area including Fort Monroe, Langley Air Force Base,
and Fort Eustis.  The consolidation of the Tactical Air
Command and the Strategic Air Command into the Air Combat
Command at Langley has somewhat mitigated the reduction
in military employment in the area.  The largest private
employer on the Peninsula is the Newport News
Shipbuilding and Drydock Company, which currently
employees approximately 17,000 people.  

The banking industry is highly competitive in the
Hampton/Newport News/Williamsburg area.  There are
approximately nine commercial banks actively engaged in
business in the area in which the Bank operates,
including seven major statewide banking organizations.

The Bank encounters competition for deposits and loans
from banks, savings and loan associations and credit
unions in the communities in which it operates.  In
addition, the Bank must compete for deposits in some
instances with the money market mutual funds which are
marketed nationally.

The Bank is subject to regulation and examination by the
Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal
Reserve Board (the "Board"), and the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC").

As a bank holding company within the meaning of the Bank
Holding Company Act of 1956, the Company is subject to
the ongoing regulation, supervision, and examination by
the Federal Reserve Board (the "Board").  The Company is
required to file with the Board periodic and annual
reports and other information concerning its own business
operations and those of its subsidiaries.  In addition,
prior Board approval must be obtained before the Company
can acquire (i) ownership or control of any voting shares
of another bank if, after such acquisition, it would
control more than 5% of such shares, or (ii) all or
substantially all of the assets of another bank or merge
or consolidate with another bank holding company.  A bank
holding company is prohibited under the Bank Holding
Company Act, with limited exceptions, from engaging in
activities other than those of banking or of managing or
controlling banks or furnishing services to its
subsidiaries.

    The Company was liability sensitive as of December 31, 1996.  
    There were $87.2 million more in liabilities than assets
    subject to repricing within three months.  This generally
    indicates that net interest income should improve if interest
    rates fall since liabilities will reprice faster than assets. 
    It should be noted, however, that savings deposits; which
    consist of interest bearing transactions accounts, money
    market accounts, and savings accounts; are less interest
    sensitive than other market driven deposits.  In a rising rate
    environment these deposit rates have historically lagged
    behind the changes in earning asset rates, thus mitigating
    somewhat the impact from the liability sensitivity position.

Loans are placed in nonaccrual status if principal or interest has been in
default for a period of 90 days or more unless the obligation is both well
secured and in the process of collection.  A debt is "well secured" if it is
secured (i) by collateral in the form of liens on or pledges of real or
personal property, including securities, that have a realizable value
sufficient to discharge the debt in full or (ii) by the guaranty of a
financially responsible party.  A debt is "in the process of collection" if
collection of the debt is proceeding in due course either through legal action,
including judgment enforcement procedures, or, in appropriate circumstances,
through collection efforts not involving legal action which are reasonably
expected to result in repayment of the debt or in its restoration to a current
status.

Potential problem loans consist of loans that, because of potential credit
problems of the borrowers, have caused management to have serious doubts as to
the ability of such borrowers to comply with the loan repayment terms.  At
December 31, 1996 such problem loans, not included in Table VII, amounted to
approximately $3.5 million.  The potential problem loans included three
relationships in excess of $500 thousand.  The potential problem loans are
generally secured by residential and commercial real estate with appraised
values exceeding the principal balance of the loan.


IV. Summary of Loan Loss Experience

The determination of the balance of the Allowance for Loan Losses is based upon
a review and analysis of the loan portfolio and reflects an amount which, in
management's judgment, is adequate to provide for possible future losses. 
Management's review includes monthly analysis of past due and nonaccrual loans
and detailed periodic loan by loan analyses.

The principal factors considered by management in determining the adequacy of
the allowance are the growth and composition of the loan portfolio, historical
loss experience, the level of nonperforming loans, economic conditions, the
value and adequacy of collateral, and the current level of the allowance.

The following table shows an analysis of the Allowance for Loan Losses for the
years 1992 through 1996.

Item  7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
         and Results of Operations

  The following discussion is intended to assist readers in understanding and
evaluating the consolidated results of operations and financial condition of
the Company.  This discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and other financial information contained elsewhere in this report. 
The analysis attempts to identify trends and material changes which occurred
during the period presented.  

EARNINGS SUMMARY
  Net income was $3.45 million, or $2.71 per share in 1996 compared to $2.34
million, or $1.84 per share in 1995 and $2.77 million, or $2.20 per share in
1994.  Return on average assets was 1.10% in 1996, 0.80% in 1995, and 1.00% in
1994.  Return on average equity was 10.99% in 1996, 8.07% in 1995 and 10.39% in
1994.  For the past five years return on average assets has averaged 0.87% and
return on average equity has averaged 9.13%.  Selected Financial Highlights
summarizes the Company's performance for the past five years.

NET INTEREST INCOME
  The principal source of earnings for the Company is net interest income.  Net
interest income is the difference between interest and fees generated by earning
assets and interest expense paid to fund them.  Net interest income, on a tax
equivalent basis, was $13.82 million in 1996, up $1.42 million, or 11% from
$12.40 million in 1995 which was up $420 thousand, or 4% from $11.98 million in
1994.  Net interest income is affected by variations in interest rates and the
volume and mix of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.  The net
interest yield increased to 4.75% in 1996 from 4.56% in 1995 which was down from
4.63% in 1994.  

  Tax equivalent interest income increased $1.98 million, or 9%, in 1996. 
Average earning assets grew $18.96 million, or 7%. Total average loans
increased $12.30 million, or 7%, while average investment securities
increased $7.34 million, or 8%.  Interest income increased in 1996 by
fifteen basis points primarily due to the collection of interest
on nonaccrual loans.

  Interest expense increased $562 thousand, or 6%, in 1996.  Interest bearing
liabilities also increased 6% in 1996.  The cost of funding liabilities
decreased three basis points primarily due to the lower cost of federal funds
purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase.

PROVISION/ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
  Provision for loan losses is a charge against earnings necessary to maintain
the allowance for loan losses at a level consistent with management's
evaluation of the loan portfolio.  The provision decreased to $600 thousand
in 1996 from $825 thousand in 1995 which was up from $25 thousand in 1994.  

  Loans charged off during 1996 totalled $925 thousand compared to $1.72
million in 1995 and $611 thousand in 1994, while recoveries amounted to
$404 thousand in 1996, $499 thousand in 1995 and $541 thousand in 1994.
Net loans charged off to year-end loans were 0.26% in 1996, 0.64% in 1995,
and 0.04% in 1994.  The allowance for loan losses, as a percentage of year-end
loans, was 1.17% in 1996, 1.19% in 1995, and 1.51% in 1994.

  As of December 31, 1996 nonperforming assets were $1.90 million, down from
$3.40 million at year-end 1995 which was up from $3.17 million at year-end
1994. Nonperforming assets consist of loans in nonaccrual status and
other real estate. The 1996 total consisted of other real estate of
$354 thousand and $1.55 million in nonaccrual loans.  The other real estate
consisted of $354 thousand in a commercial property originally acquired as
a potential branch site and now held for sale.  Nonaccrual loans consisted of
$701 thousand in commercial loans, $845 thousand in mortgage loans
and $4 thousand in installment loans.  The Company has aggressively dealt
with these credits and specific action plans have been developed for each
of these classified loans to address any deficiencies.  Loans still accruing
interest but past due 90 days or more increased to $1.34 million as of 
December 31, 1996 compared to $248 thousand as of December 31, 1995 and
$837 thousand as of December 31, 1994. 

  The allowance for loan losses is analyzed for adequacy on a quarterly basis
to determine the required amount of provision for loan losses.  A loan-by-loan
review is conducted on all significant classified commercial and mortgage
loans. Inherent losses on these individual loans are determined and an
allocation of the allowance is provided.  Smaller nonclassified commercial
and mortgage loans and all consumer loans are grouped by homogeneous pools
with an allocation assigned to each pool based on an analysis of historical
loss and delinquency experience, trends, economic conditions, underwriting
standards, and other factors.

OTHER INCOME
  Other income increased $291 thousand, or 8% in 1996 from 1995 compared to an
decrease of $317 thousand, or 8% in 1995 from 1994.  The 1996 increase was due
to higher Trust Department and mortgage brokerage income.  The 1995 decrease
was due primarily to lower security gains. The 1994 security gains of $407
thousand were the result of the sale of investment securities as an
asset/liability strategy to reduce the interest rate risk in the portfolio.

OTHER EXPENSES
  Other expenses increased in 1996 $182 thousand, or 2% in 1996 over 1995 after
remaining almost constant in 1995 from 1994.  Salaries and employee benefits
increased 3% in 1996 due to normal salary increases and increased profit
sharing contributions. Occupancy expense increased $54 thousand, or 8% in 1996
primarily due to higher rent expense associated with the opening of the Trust
Department's Oyster Point office in Newport News.  Equipment expense increased
7% due to higher depreciation expense on the new mainframe computer system.
Other operating expenses decreased 6% primarily due to lower FDIC insurance
premiums. 

ASSETS
  At December 31, 1996, the Company had total assets of $316.3 million, up 4%
from $304.3 million at December 31, 1995.  Average assets in 1996 were $313.0
million compared to $291.2 million in 1995. The growth in assets in 1996 was
due to the increase in average loans, which were up 7%.

  During 1996 the Company acquired land in the Oyster Point area of Newport
News to build a 15,000 square foot office building.  When completed in late
1997 or early 1998 the new facility will house to Bank's Trust Department,
commercial and real estate lending, and a branch office. The total cost of
this project will be approximately $2.5 million.

LOANS
  The Company experienced good loan demand in 1996.  Total loans (net of
unearned income) as of December 31, 1996 were $198.6 million, up 5% from $189.4
million at December 31, 1995.  All categories of loans increased during 1996
except tax exempt loans and real estate mortgages.  Footnote 3 of the financial
statements details the loan volume by category for the past two years.

LIQUIDITY
 Liquidity is the ability of the Company to meet present and future
obligations through the acquisition of additional liabilities or sale of
existing assets.  Management considers the liquidity of the Company to be
adequate. Sufficient assets are maintained on a short-term basis to meet the
liquidity demands anticipated by Management.  In addition, secondary sources
are available through the use of borrowed funds if the need should arise.

EFFECTS OF INFLATION
 Management believes that the key to achieving satisfactory performance in an
inflationary environment is its ability to maintain or improve its net
interest margin and to generate additional fee income.  The Company's policy
of investing in and funding with interest-sensitive assets and liabilities
is intended to reduce the risks inherent in a volatile inflationary economy.

Independent Auditors' Report
To the Board of Directors
Old Point Financial Corporation

1995, and the related consolidated statements of income, cash flows and
changes in stockholders' equity for each of the years in the three-year

responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial
statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.  An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above,
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial

                      NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1.       The accounting and reporting policies of Old Point Financial
SIGNIFICANT   Corporation and its subsidiary conform to generally accepted
ACCOUNTING    accounting principles and to general practice within the 
POLICIES      banking industry.  The following is a summary of significant
              accounting and reporting policies:

              PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION:
              The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Old
              Point Financial Corporation ("the Company") and its subsidiary
              The Old Point National Bank of Phoebus ("the Bank").  All
              significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
              eliminated in consolidation.

              NATURE OF BUSINESS:
              Old Point Financial Corporation is a one-bank holding company
              that conducts substantially all of its operations through its
              subsidiary The Old Point National Bank of Phoebus.  The Bank
              services individual and commercial customers, the majority of
              which are on the Virginia Peninsula.  The Bank has twelve branch
              offices.  The Bank offers a full range of deposit and loan
              products to its retail and commercial customers.  Substantially
              all of the Bank's deposits are interest bearing.  The majority
              of the Bank's loan portfolio is secured by real estate.

              USE OF ESTIMATES:
              The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
              generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
              make estimates and assumptions.  The amounts recorded in the
              financial statements may be affected by those estimates and
              assumptions.  Actual results may vary from those estimates.

              The Bank uses estimates primarily in developing its allowance for
              loan losses, in computing deferred tax assets,    in determining
              the estimated useful lives of premises and equipment, and in the
              valuation of other real estate owned.

              INVESTMENT SECURITIES:
              Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting
              for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" (SFAS 115),
              addresses the accounting and reporting for investments in equity
              securities that have readily determinable fair values and for all
              investments in debt securities.  Those investments are to be
              classified in three categories and accounted for as follows:

                Held-to-maturity - Debt securities for which the Corporation
                has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are
                classified as held-to-maturity securities and reported at cost,
                adjusted for premiums and discounts that are recognized in
                interest income using the interest method over the period to
                maturity.

                Trading - Debt and equity securities that are bought and held
                principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term
                are classified as trading account securities and recorded at
                their fair values.  Unrealized gains and losses on trading
                account securities are included immediately in income.

                Available-for-sale - Debt and equity securities not classified
                as either held-to-maturity securities or trading account
                securities are classified as available-for-sale securities and
                recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses
                excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of
                equity until realized.  Gains and losses on the sale of
                available-for-sale securities are determined using the specific
                identification method.  Premiums and discounts are recognized
                in interest income using the interest method over the period to
                maturity.

              INTEREST ON LOANS:
              Interest is accrued daily on the outstanding loan balances. 
              Accrual of interest is discontinued on a loan when management
              believes, after considering collection efforts and other factors,
              that the borrower's financial condition is such that collection of
              interest is doubtful.

              LOAN ORIGINATION FEES AND COSTS:
              Loan origination fees and certain direct origination costs are
              capitalized and recognized as an adjustment of the yield on the
              related loan.



             ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES:
             The allowance for loan losses is generated by direct charges
             against income and is available to absorb loan losses.  The
             allowance is based upon management's periodic evaluation of
             changes in the overall credit worthiness of the loan portfolio,
             economic conditions in general, and the effect of these conditions
             upon the financial status of specific borrowers and other factors.
    
             The Bank is subject to regulation by the Office of the Comptroller 
             of the Currency.  They may require that the Bank adjust its
             allowance for loan losses upon request.

             OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED:
             Other real estate owned is carried at the lower of cost or
             estimated fair value and consists of foreclosed real property and
             other property held for sale.  The estimated fair value is
             reviewed periodically by management and any write-downs are
             charged against current earnings.                             

             PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT:
             Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated
             depreciation and amortization.  Depreciation and amortization are
             calculated on both straight-line and accelerated methods and are
             charged to expense over the estimated useful lives of the related
             assets.  Costs of maintenance and repairs are charged to expense
             as incurred.

             INCOME TAXES:
             Income taxes are provided based upon income reported in the
             statements of income (after exclusion of non-taxable income such
             as interest on state and municipal securities).  The income tax
             effect resulting from timing differences between financial
             statement pre-tax income and taxable income is deferred to future
             periods.

             PENSION PLAN:
             The Bank has a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan
             covering substantially all of its employees.  Benefits are based
             on years of service and average earnings during the highest
             average sixty-month period during the final one hundred and twenty
             months of employment.

             The Bank's policy is to fund the maximum amount of contributions
             allowed for tax purposes.  The Bank accrues an amount equal to its
             actuarially computed obligation under the plan.

             The net periodic pension expense includes a service cost
             component, interest on the projected benefit obligation, return on
             plan assets and the effect of deferring and amortizing certain
             actuarial gains and losses and the unrecognized net transition
             asset over fifteen years.

             TRUST ASSETS AND INCOME:
             Assets held by the Trust Department are not included in the
             financial statements, because such items are not assets of
             the Bank.  In accordance with industry practice, trust service
             income is recognized primarily on the cash basis.  Reporting such
             income on the accrual basis would not materially effect net income.

             RECLASSIFICATIONS:
             Certain amounts in the financial statements have been reclassified
             to conform with classifications adopted in the current year.


                                                                         
                                                                         
NOTE 2.      At December 31, 1996, the investment securities portfolio is

     The Bank has had, and may be expected to have in the future,
     banking transactions in the ordinary course of business with
     directors, executive officers, their immediate families, and
     companies in which they are principal  owners (commonly
     referred to as related parties), on the same terms, including
     interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time
     for comparable transactions with others.  The aggregate direct
     and indirect loans of these persons totaled $2.0 million and
     $1.2 million at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. 
     These totals do not include loans made in the ordinary course
     of business to other companies where a director or executive
     officer of the Bank was also a director or officer of such
     company but not a principal owner.  None of the directors or
     executive  officers had direct or indirect loans exceeding 10%
     of stockholders' equity at December 31, 1996.

STOCK OPTION   The Company has stock option plans which reserves 59,050 shares 
               of common stock for grants to key employees.  The exercise price
               of each option equals the market price of the Company's common
               stock on the date of the grant and an option's maximum term is
               ten years.  A summary of the exercisable incentive stock
               options is presented below:

                At December 31, 1996, exercise prices on outstanding options 
                ranged from $25.00 to $37.50 per share and the weighted average
                remaining contractual life was eight years.

                The Company accounts for its stock option plans in accordance
                with ABP Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
                Employees, which does not allocate costs to stock options
                granted at current market values.  The Company could, as an
                alternative, allocate costs to stock options using option
                pricing models, as provided in Statement of Financial
                Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
                Compensation.  Because of the limited number of options granted
                and the limited amount of trading activity in the Company's
                stock, management believes that stock options are best accounted
                for in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25.  However, had the
                stock options been accounted for in accordance with
                SAFS No. 123, pro-forma amounts for net earnings and earnings
                per share would have been as follows for each of the years
                ending December 31,

                Pro-forma amounts were computed using a 6% discount rate over 
                the term of the options and dividend rates which approximate

NOTE 10.    The Bank has noncancellable leases on premises and      
LEASE       equipment expiring at various dates, including
COMMITMENTS extensions so the year 2011.  Certain leases provide  
            for increased annual payments based on increases in   
            real estate taxes and the Consumer Price Index.

      The total approximate minimum rental commitment at December
      31, 1996, under noncancellable leases is $1.05 million which is due
      as follows:

NOTE 12.      The Bank has a defined contribution profit sharing and
PROFIT        thrift plan covering substantially all of its employees.
SHARING       The Bank may make profit sharing contributions to the plan as
              determined by the Board of Directors.  In addition, the 
              Bank matches thrift contributions by employees fifty cents 
              for each dollar contributed.  Expenses related to the plan
              totaled $261 thousand and $215 thousand in 1996 and 1995, 
              respectively.


                                                                 
NOTE 13.      In the normal course of business, the Bank makes various
COMMITMENTS   commitments and incurs certain contingent liabilities. 
AND           These commitments and contingencies represent off-
CONTINGENCIES balance sheet risk for the Bank.  To meet the financing
              needs of its customers, the Bank makes lending commitments
              under commercial lines of credit, home equity loans and  
              construction and development loans.  The Bank also incurs
              contingent liabilities related to irrevocable letters of credit.

 At December 31, 1996, the Bank had the following off-balance sheet items
 (in thousands):

     Commitments to extend credit:  
      Home equity lines of credit            $   9,442 
      Construction and development loans
       committed but not funded                  5,228 
      Other lines of credit (principally
       commercial)                              19,201
                                               -------
                                             $  33,871 

      Irrevocable letters of credit          $   1,071 

     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 expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment
     amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. 
     The Bank evaluates each customer's credit worthiness on a
     case-by-case basis.  The amount of collateral obtained, if
     deemed necessary by the Bank, upon extension of credit is
     based on management's credit evaluation of the customer. 
     Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable,
     inventory, property, plant and equipment, and income-producing
     commercial properties. 

     Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written are
     conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the
     performance of a customer to a third party.  Those guarantees
     are primarily issued to support private borrowing
     arrangements.  Most guarantees extend for less than two years
     and expire in decreasing amounts through 1997.  The credit
     risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the
     same as that involved in extending loans to customers.  The
     Bank holds various collateral supporting those commitments for
     which collateral is deemed necessary.

     The above presentation of fair values is required by statement
     on Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 "Disclosures about
     Market Values of Financial Instruments".  The fair values
     shown do not necessarily represent the amounts which would be
     received on sale or other disposition of the instruments.

     The carrying amounts of cash and due from banks, federal funds
     sold, demand and savings deposit and securities sold under
     repurchase agreements represent items which do not present
     significant market risks, are payable on demand or are of such
     short duration that market value approximates carrying value.

     Investment securities are valued at the quoted market price
     for the individual securities held.

     The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting future
     cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans
     would be made to borrowers.

     Certificates of deposit are presented at estimated fair value
     using rates currently offered for deposits of similar
     remaining maturities.  

                                                                 
NOTE 15.     The Company is required to maintain minimum amounts of
REGULARTORY  capital to total "risk weighted" assets, as defined by the banking
MATTERS      regulators.  At December 31, 1996, The Company is required to have
             minimum Tier 1 and Total Capital ratios of 4.00% and 8.00%
             respectively.  The Company's actual ratios at that date were 15.63%
             and 16.76%, respectively.  The Company's leverage ratio at December
             31, 1996 was 10.21%.

The approval of the Comptroller of the Currency is required if the total
of all dividends declared by a national banking any calendar year exceeds
the bank's net profits for that year combined with its retained net profits
for the preceding two calendar years.  Under this formula, the banking
subsidiary can distribute as dividends to the Company in 1997, without the
approval of the Comptroller of the Currency, $4.00 million plus an additional
amount equal to the Bank's retained net profits for 1997 up to the date of any
dividend declaration.

The following are the summarized financial statements of the Company.

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management

Security ownership of certain beneficial owners and management is
detailed in Part III, Item 10. of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.


Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

Some of the Company directors, executive officers, and members of
their immediate families, and corporations, partnerships and other
entities of which such persons are officers, directors, partners,
trustees, executors or beneficiaries, are customers of the Bank. As
of December 31, 1996, borrowing by all policy making officers and
directors amounted to $2.05 million. This amount represented 6.0%
of the total equity capital accounts of the Company as of December
31, 1996.  All loans and commitments to lend included in such
transactions were made in the ordinary course of business, upon
substantially the same terms, including interest rates and
collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable
transactions with other persons and did not involve more than
normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable
features. It is the policy of the Bank to provide loans to officers
who are not executive officers and to employees at more favorable
rates than those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions
with other persons. These loans do not involve more than the normal
risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features.  The
Bank expects to have in the future similar banking transactions
with directors, officers, principal stockholders and their
associates.

     The law firm of Cumming, Hatchett and Jordan, P.C. serves as
legal counsel to the Bank. Mr. Eugene M. Jordan is a member of the
firm. During 1996, the firm received from the Bank a retainer and
fees totalling $63,180.  Hampton Stationery, of which John Cabot
Ishon is the owner, provided furniture and supplies to the Bank for
which it paid $72,244 during 1996.  In addition, Morgan-Marrow
Company, of which John B. Morgan, II is President, provided
insurance to the Bank during 1996.  Geddy, Harris & Geddy, of which
Stephen D. Harris is a partner, also provided legal services to the
Bank during 1996.
