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 Company. 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 $1,090,000 at September 30, 1997. Deferred loan fees at September 30, 1997 amounted to $1,286,000. 3. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 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 $22,246,000, the Bank had outstanding commitments to purchase or originate $51,367,000 in loans and investment securities at September 30, 1997. The Company also had outstanding commitments to sell $14,761,000 in loans and securities at September 30, 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 4,976,413 and 4,965,936 at September 30, 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 (9) VIRGINIA BEACH FEDERAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION -------------------------------------------- ITEM II. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FINANCIAL CONDITION ASSETS The Company's total assets at September 30, 1997 were $605 million which is a decrease of $.7 million or .1% from December 31, 1996. This decrease is attributed to the net effect of a $18.6 million decrease in the Bank's securities portfolios partially offset by a $13.7 million increase in loans receivable, a $2.2 million increase in cash, federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits, and a $2.0 million increase in other assets and other real estate owned. The Bank's core capital ratio increased to 6.9% at September 30, 1997 from 6.6% at December 31, 1996. The decrease of $18.6 million in the Bank's securities portfolios at September 30, 1997 as compared to December 31, 1996 was due to the normal repayment and maturity of securities. The Bank collected $22.7 million in principal on mortgage-backed and related securities and $7.1 million from maturities of fixed rate investment securities. These reductions were partially offset by the purchase of $10.7 million in mortgage-backed and related securities and $2.3 million of investment securities. The Company's loan portfolio increased $13.7 million at September 30, 1997, as compared to December 31, 1996, primarily due to increases in the Bank's construction ($15.7 million), commercial ($9.3 million), consumer ($3.2 million) and land acquisition ($3.1 million) loan portfolios. The Bank's held-for-sale portfolio also increased $4.2 million. Offsetting these increases, the Bank's residential real estate and commercial real estate portfolios decreased $12.7 and $9.1 million, respectively, as compared to December 31, 1996 due to normal prepayments and loan amortization. LIABILITIES Total liabilities decreased by $3.1 million or .6% to $562 million during the first nine months of 1997. This increase is mainly due to a $35.8 million decrease in deposits partially offset by a $20.0 million increase in advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank, a $12.1 million increase in securities sold under agreements to repurchase, and a $.6 million net increase in advance payments by borrowers for taxes and insurance and other liabilities. The decrease in deposits is in keeping with management's emphasis of focusing on the local retail deposit base. Of the $35.8 million decrease in deposits since December 1996, $37.7 million occurred in brokered and other out-of-area deposits. These deposits were replaced mainly by the $20.0 million increase in Federal Home Loan Bank advances and the $12.1 million increase in securities sold under agreements to repurchase. NON-PERFORMING ASSETS Non-performing assets of the Bank consist of delinquent loans on which income accrual has ceased or is being fully reserved, and property acquired through foreclosure or repossession. Non-performing assets totaled $6.9 million at September 30, 1997 and $6.2 million at December 31, 1996. The delinquent loan component of non-performing assets was $4.6 million, $4.1 million, and $3.7 million, at September 30, Page (10) 1997, December 31, 1996 and September 30, 1996, respectively. The delinquent loans were substantially secured by single- family residential properties at September 30, 1997. During the first nine months of 1997, there were no charges to the foreclosed real estate allowance. There were $1,829,000 of charges during the same period in 1996 of which $1,368,000 related to a single strip shopping center property sold in June 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 $0.3 million, respectively at September 30, 1997. At September 30, 1997, the Bank's allowance for loan losses was $4.5 million or .97% of total loans receivable held for investment.

Pretax earnings increased by $3,971,000 during the third quarter of 1997 as compared to the year earlier period. During the quarter ended September 30, 1996, the Bank paid a $3,310,000 one-time special assessment to recapitalize the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"). NET INTEREST INCOME Net interest income during the quarter ended September 30, 1997 was $4.8 million as compared to $4.2 million during the same period of 1996. The net interest margin for the quarter Page (11) ended September 30, 1997 was 3.26% as compared to 2.89% during the third quarter of 1996.

The increased retail banking fees resulted primarily from the fees associated with an increased number of checking accounts and the initiation of surcharge fees on foreign ATM transactions in the second quarter 1997. Gains on sales of loans increased to $386,000 for the third quarter of 1997 as compared to $239,000 for the same period of 1996 as a result of higher amount of the residential lending production being sold to outside investors. The table below compares the residential lending production during the quarter ended September 30, 1997 to the same period in 1996 (in thousands): Page (12) For the Quarter Ended September 30, ------------------------------------- Increase 1997 1996 (Decrease) ------------------------------------- Applications. . . . . . . . . $ 38,832 $ 34,565 $ 4,267 Closings. . . . . . . . . . . 29,234 29,839 (605) Fundings. . . . . . . . . . . 29,434 32,242 (2,808) Ending Pipeline . . . . . . . 25,179 33,217 (8,038) OTHER EXPENSES Other expenses, exclusive of the provision for losses on foreclosed real estate, decreased to $3,109,000 or 44.1% during the third quarter of 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996. During the third quarter 1996 the Bank paid a one-time special assessment of $3,310,000 to recapitalize the SAIF. RESULTS OF OPERATION: Nine months Ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 NET OPERATING RESULTS For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Company earned $2,981,000 or $.60 per share as compared to a loss of $191,000 or $(0.04) per share for the same period in 1996. The increase in pretax earnings of $5,138,000 during the nine month period as compared to the same period in 1996 is attributable to a $1,898,000 increase in net interest income and the absence of the one-time special SAIF assessment. NET INTEREST INCOME Net interest income during the first nine months of 1997 increased by $1,898,000 to $14,225,000 as compared to $12,327,000 during the same period of 1996. The net interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was 3.20% as compared to 2.71% for the same period in 1996.

The $432,000 increase in retail banking fees was primarily due to the fees associated with an increased number of checking accounts and initiation of surcharge fees on foreign ATM transactions in second quarter of 1997. Gain on sales of loans decreased slightly to $901,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to $917,000 for the same period on 1996. The table below compares the residential lending production during the nine month period ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996 (in thousands): For the Nine Months Ended September 30, -------------------------- 1997 1996 Decrease --------- --------- ---------- Applications. . . . . . . . . $118,658 $122,143 $(3,485) Closings. . . . . . . . . . . 88,348 92,218 (3,870) Fundings. . . . . . . . . . . 80,384 102,123 (21,739) Ending Pipeline . . . . . . . 25,179 33,217 (8,038) OTHER EXPENSE Other expenses, exclusive of the provision for losses on foreclosed real estate, decreased by $2,706,000 or (18.6)% during the nine month period ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in federal deposit insurance premiums of $4,005,000 partially offset by an increase in salary, employee benefits and occupancy expenses of $1,005,000 and an increase in other expenses of $324,000. Federal deposit insurance premiums decreased due to the special SAIF assessment. The increase in salary, employee benefits, and net occupancy expense is mainly the net result of the cost incurred to operate and staff three additional retail banking offices opened in the second half of 1996 and the first quarter of 1997. 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 Page (14) of liquid assets equal to a certain percentage of net withdrawable deposits and current borrowings (payable in one year or less). OTS regulations require a liquidity level of at least 5%. The Bank's liquidity ratio at September 30, 1997 was 6.22% and exceeded 5% at each measurement date during the first nine months of 1997. 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. Capital Amount as of Measure September 30, 1997 Requirement Excess - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tangible . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $42,505,000 6.9% $9,208,000 1.5% $33,297,000 5.4% Core . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 42,505,000 6.9% 18,416,000 3.0% 24,089,000 3.9% Risk-based . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 46,447,000 12.7% 29,295,000 8.0% 17,152,000 4.7% NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" (SFAS 128), which is required to be adopted on December 31, 1997. At that time, the Company will be required to change the method currently being used to compute earnings per share and to restate all prior periods. Under the requirements of SFAS 128, the primary earnings per share calculation will be replaced with a basic earnings per share calculation, which will exclude any dilutive effect of outstanding common stock options. Also, the calculation for fully diluted earnings per share will be replaced with "diluted" earnings per share, whose calculation will include the effect of dilutive outstanding common stock options. The impact of calculating basic earnings per share is not expected to result in an increase or decrease in the primary earnings (loss) per share reported in each of the quarters ended March 31, 1996, June 30, 1996, September 1996, March 31, 1997, June 30, 1997 and September 1997. The impact of SFAS 128 on the calculation of diluted earnings per share is expected to result in a $0.01 per share decrease in the earnings per share reported for each of the six quarters noted in the immediately preceding sentence.
