The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the disclosures and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the management of Virginia Beach Federal Financial Corporation (the "Company") the financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Corporation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and First Coastal Bank (the "Bank") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996 should be read in conjunction with this Form 10-Q. 2. Net unamortized premiums on loans and mortgage-backed securities amounted to $675,000 at March 31, 1997. Deferred loan fees at March 31, 1997 amounted to $1,319,000. 3. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year or any other period. 4. In addition to undisbursed loan funds of $31,184,000, the Bank had outstanding commitments to purchase or originate $28,454,000 in loans and investment securities at March 31, 1997. The Company also had outstanding commitments to sell $12,558,000 in loans and securities at March 31, 1997. 5. Earnings per share have been computed based on the weighted average shares outstanding. The weighted average number of shares used in the computation of earnings per share was 4,970,890 and 4,959,175 at March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The potential issuance of shares under the Company's stock option plan does not have a material dilutive effect on earnings per share. PAGE 7 VIRGINIA BEACH FEDERAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS ITEM II. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FINANCIAL CONDITION ASSETS The Company's total assets at March 31, 1997 were $607 million which is an increase of $1.2 million or .20% from December 31, 1996. This increase is mainly due to the net effect of a $8.6 million increase in loans receivable and a $4.1 million increase in cash, federal funds sold, and interest-bearing deposits. These increases were partially off-set by a $10.9 million decrease in the Bank's securities portfolios and a $.5 million decrease in other assets. The Bank's core capital ratio increased to 6.7% at March 31, 1997 from 6.6% at December 31, 1996. The Company's loan portfolio increased $8.6 million at March 31, 1997, as compared to December 31, 1996, primarily due to increases in the Bank's construction ($7.6 million), commercial ($2.6 million), consumer ($1.6 million) and residential ($1.2 million) portfolios. In addition, the Bank's commercial real estate and land acquisition portfolios decreased $4.4 million as compared to December 31, 1996. The decrease of $10.9 million in the Bank's securities portfolios at March 31, 1997 as compared to December 31, 1996 was due to the normal repayment and maturity of securities. The Bank collected $6.9 million in principal on mortgage- backed and related securities and $4.6 million from maturities of fixed rate investment securities. These reductions were offset by the purchase of a $1.0 million fixed rate U.S. Treasury security. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 ("FASB115"), the Company has recorded a reduction to shareholders' equity of $320,000 to reflect a decrease in the market value of securities classified as available-for-sale. NON-PERFORMING ASSETS Non-performing assets of the Bank comprise delinquent loans on which income accrual has ceased or is being fully reserved, and property acquired through foreclosure or repossession. Non-performing assets totaled $6.4 million at March 31, 1997 and $6.2 million, at December 31, 1996. The delinquent loan component of non-performing assets was $4.2 million, $4.1 million, and $4.2 million, at March 31, 1997, December 31, 1996 and March 31, 1996, respectively. The delinquent loans were substantially secured by single-family residential properties at March 31, 1997. During the first quarter of 1997, there were no charges to the foreclosed real estate allowance. There were $300,000 of charges during the same period in 1996. The allowance for possible loan losses is maintained for possible but as yet unidentified loan losses. Allowances for possible losses on loans and foreclosed real estate are maintained by the Bank when the collectability of loans is impaired and the value of the security property has declined below the outstanding principal balance of the related loan, or the carrying value of foreclosed real estate has been impaired. The allowances for possible losses on loans receivable held-for-investment and foreclosed real estate totaled $4.5 million and $.2 million, respectively at March 31, 1997. At March 31, 1997, the Bank's allowance for loan losses was $4.5 million or 0.97% of total loans receivable held for investment.

NET INTEREST INCOME Net interest income during the quarter ended March 31,1997 was $4.7 million as compared to $3.9 million during the same period of 1996. The net interest margin for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 was 3.12% as compared to 2.43% during the first quarter of 1996. The following table sets forth the weighted average yields earned on the Company's assets, the weighted average interest rates paid on the Company's liabilities, and the net yield on average interest earning assets for the periods indicated. Average balances are determined on a daily basis and nonperforming loans are included in the average loan amount (dollars in thousands).

The reduced loan sales resulted from a reduction during the fourth quarter of 1995 in the Company's mortgage origination activities. Gains on sales of loans were $252,000 for the first three months of 1997 as compared to $427,000 for the same period of 1996. The table below compares the residential lending production during the quarter ended March 31, 1997 to the same period in 1996 (in thousands): For the Quarter Ended March 31, ------------------------------- Increase 1997 1996 (Decrease) ------------------------------- Applications $40,074 $49,620 $ (9,546) Closings 26,608 29,729 (3,121) Fundings 23,770 33,334 (9,564) Ending Pipeline 30,327 43,688 (13,361) The balance of other income during the quarter ended March 31, 1997 of $535,000 is comparable to the $524,000 earned during the same period in 1996. However, service charges on retail deposit accounts have increased by $88,000 or 49.4% as compared to the 1996 quarter. This increase was substantially off-set by a reduction of $13,000 in mortgage loan servicing fees as a result of the normal reduction in the balance of loans serviced for others through normal repayments and prepayments. OTHER EXPENSE Other expenses, exclusive of the provision for losses on foreclosed real estate, increased $248,000 or 6.8% during the first quarter of 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996. The increase in salary and employee benefits of $304,000 and the increase in net occupancy expense of $94,000 are the result of the cost incurred to staff three additional retail banking offices opened in the second half of 1996 and the first quarter of 1997. In addition, the first quarter of 1997 includes approximately $194,000 in advertising expense associated with the change in the name of the Bank. During the first three months of 1997, the Company recorded no provision for possible losses on foreclosed real estate compared with a $300,000 provision for the first three months of 1996. The first quarter of 1997 also benefitted from a $230,000 reduction in federal deposit insurance premiums as compared to the same period in 1996. This decrease is due to the combined effect of a 16.6 basis point reduction in the premium rate as a result of the special SAIF assessment during the third quarter of 1995 and a lower assessment base resulting from decreased amounts of brokered deposits. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES LIQUIDITY The Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") has established minimum liquidity requirements for savings associations. These regulations provide, in part, that members of the Federal Home Loan Bank System maintain daily average balances of liquid assets equal to a certain percentage of net withdrawable deposits and current borrowings (payable in one year or less). Current regulations require a liquidity level of at least 5%. The Bank's liquidity ratio at March 31, 1997 was 5.89% and exceeded 5% at each measurement date during the first three months of 1997. PAGE 11 REGULATORY CAPITAL STANDARDS The OTS has established the regulatory capital requirements for savings institutions. The following table sets forth the capital position of the Bank in accordance with the requirements.
