   Statements of Income for the three-month and nine month periods ended
   September 30, 2000, and September 30, 1999, the  Consolidated  Statement of
   Cash Flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000, and September
   30, 1999, and the Consolidated  Statement of Changes in  Shareholders' Equity
   for the  nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000, and September 30, 1999,
   prepared in accordance with  instructions  for Form 10-Q,  are  unaudited and
   do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
   accepted  accounting  principles for complete financial  statements. However,
   in the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
   financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
   accruals) considered necessary to present fairly the financial  position as
   of September 30, 2000. The statements  should be read in conjunction with the
   Notes to Consolidated  Financial  Statements included in Eastern  Virginia
   Bankshares' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.


2. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Eastern
   Virginia Bankshares, Inc ("EVB" or "the corporation") and its subsidiaries
   Southside Bank, Bank of Northumberland, Inc., and Hanover Bank with all
   significant intercompany transactions and accounts being eliminated in
   consolidation.  Hanover Bank, a denovo subsidiary,  was organized during the
   first quarter of 2000 and opened in Mechanicsville, VA on May 22, 2000.

3. During the three months ended September 30, 2000, the corporation issued
   4,847 shares of its common stock at a price of $16.00 per share, bringing
   year-to-date shares issued to 17,131, as a limited offering related to the
   opening of its Hanover Bank subsidiary. Prior to registration of the stock
   offering, the corporation repurchased 102,148 shares at an average cost of
   $18.46 per share during the first four months of the year.

4. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily
   indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

5. Earnings per share have been computed by dividing net income by the
   weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period.  Weighted
   average shares used for the computation were 4,938,644  and 5,113,112 for the
   three month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, and were 4,947,335 and
   5,073,144 for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999.

6. EVB's amortized cost and estimated fair values of securities at September 30,
   2000 are as follows:

PART 1 - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
      OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Management's discussion and analysis of financial information is presented to
aid the reader  in understanding and evaluating the financial condition and
results of operations of Eastern Virginia Bankshares, Inc. ("EVB" or "the
Corporation").  This discussion provides information about the major components
of the results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and capital
resources of the Company. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the
Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
presented elsewhere in this report.

OVERVIEW AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

Net income decreased 5.9% to $1,381,000 for the third quarter of 2000, compared
to  $1,468,000 for the same period in 1999.  Earnings per share decreased 3.4%
to $0.28 compared to $0.29 in the third quarter of 1999.  Year-to-date earnings
per share of $0.87 are down $.01 compared to the first nine months of 1999.
Management projects earnings for the year 2000 to be slightly below the $1.17
earned in 1999;  as the corporation absorbs approximately $600 thousand (pretax)
of expense related to investments in imaging technology and startup of Hanover
Bank.


                                       7


Total assets on September 30, 2000 were $398.7 million, up $20.9 million or 5.5%
from $377.8 million at December 31, 1999.  For the quarter, total assets
averaged $395.5 million or 7.0% above the third quarter 1999 average of $369.8
million.  Total loans, net of unearned income, were $290.8 million at September
30, 2000, an increase of  $ 16.9 million or 6.2 % from $ 273.9 million at
December 31, 1999.  Total loans net of the allowance for loan losses as a
percent of total assets were 71.8% at September 30, 2000, as compared to 71.4%
at December 31, 1999.  Net loan volume for the first nine months of 2000 was $
16.9 million as compared to $ 27.4 million for the first nine months of 1999.
Decreased loan growth in 2000 versus 1999, although still strong,  is related
primarily to the higher interest rate environment.

On September 30, 2000, the securities portfolio totaled $ 78.6 million, which
was $9.5 million or 10.7 % less than at December 31, 1999. Funds that are
invested in the securities portfolio are part of the effort to balance the
interest rate risk.  Federal funds sold were $10.5 million on September 30,
2000, compared to a net Federal funds purchased position of $1.5 million  at
December 31, 1999, a net increase of $12.0 million.  This  increase in Federal
Funds Sold is primarily the result of management's decision to increase
liquidity by moving part of the securities portfolio to a daily funds available
position.  During the third quarter of 2000, the corporation also reduced it's
borrowing with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, from $9 million at June
30, to $7 million at September 30, or $1 million below the $8 million
outstanding at 1999 year end.

Financial Accounting Standards Board Pronouncement # 115 requires the Company to
show the effect of market changes in the value of securities available for sale
(AFS).  Effective with the beginning of the second quarter of 2000, the Boards
of the subsidiary banks approved the transfer of all securities to the Available
for Sale category, eliminating the former Held to Maturity classification.  The
market value of securities at September 30, 2000, was $ 78.6 million as compared
to $43.3 million Available for Sale and $44.5 million Held to Maturity at year
end 1999.  The effect of the change in market value of  AFS securities, net of
income taxes, is reflected in a line titled Accumulated other comprehensive
income in  Stockholders' Equity, which was a negative $ 495 thousand at
September 30, 2000, compared to a negative  $ 671 thousand at 1999 year end.
This $176 thousand decrease in the unrealized loss on securities is also
reflected under the "Other Comprehensive Income" category on the Consolidated
Statement of Changes in Shareholders' Equity Statement.  This decrease in the
unrealized loss on securities is the result of increased market values caused by
market reaction to the recent perceived stabilization of interest rates.

Total deposits of $344.6 million at quarter end represented an increase of $
21.9 million or 6.8 % from $322.6 million at December 31, 1999. EVB offers
attractive, yet competitive rates, to maintain a strong, stable deposit base.
The third quarter reflected an increase in time deposits resulting primarily
from the May opening of Hanover Bank.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Eastern Virginia Bankshares reported decreased earnings for the third quarter of
2000.  Net income for the quarter was $1.4 million , a decrease of $87 thousand
from third quarter 1999 earnings of $1.5 million.  Net income for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000 decreased 4.6% to $4.3 million compared to $4.5
million for the same period in 1999.  Net income for the quarter was impacted by
decreasing net interest margin, and an increase in non interest expense of $329
thousand or 14.8%. Increased non interest expense was primarily the result of
previously announced initiatives that saw the opening of a new subsidiary,
Hanover Bank, in Mechanicsville in May, and the implementation of imaging
technology in January, 2000.  Earnings per share for the third quarter decreased
a penny to $0.28 from $0.29 in the third quarter of 1999.  Earnings per share
were $0.87 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, down one penny from the
first nine months of 1999.  Profitability as measured by the corporation's
annualized return on average assets (ROA) was 1.40% for the quarter ended
September 30. 2000, down from 1.59% for the same period of 1999.  Annualized ROA
for the first nine months of 2000 was 1.46% as compared to 1.67% for the first
nine months of 1999 and 1.64% for the year ended December 31, 1999.  A second
key indicator of performance, the annualized return on average equity (ROE) for
the three months ended September 30, 2000 was 12.96%, also down from 13.76% for
the third quarter of 1999.  ROE for the nine month period ended September 30,
2000, was 13.51%, compared to 14.01% for the first nine months of 1999, and
13.95% for the full year 1999.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income totaled $4.0 million for the quarter, a $32 thousand or 1.0%
increase over the Company's performance for the third quarter of 1999.  The
increase in net interest income is a result of an increase in the average
balance of interest earning assets partially offset by a decreased net interest
margin.  For the quarter ended September 30, 2000, the average balance of
interest earning assets increased to $378.1 million from $354.5 million for the
same quarter in 1999.  The increase in average earning assets is a result of an
increase of $27.7 million or 10.5% in the average balance of loans held in the
corporation's loan portfolio, combined with a 1.0% increase in average
securities and a 30% decrease in average federal funds sold. The increase in
average loans is the result of strong loan demand and management's effort to

                                       8


redirect a portion of its excess cash reserves  (fed funds sold)  into higher
yielding assets.

The net interest margin for the three month period ended September 30, 2000 was
4.43%, compared to 4.71% for the comparable period in the prior year.  The
decrease in net interest margin results from a 61 basis point increase in the
cost of interest bearing funds from 4.20% in 1999 to 4.81% for the third quarter
of 2000, while the yield on interest bearing assets on a taxable equivalent
basis was up by only 28 basis points, from 8.14% to 8.42% for the same periods.
The decrease in net interest margin was in line with industry results in an
environment of increased interest rates and also was impacted by borrowing with
the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta.

Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 200 was $12.1
million, an increase of $ 468 thousand, or 4.0% from $11.7 million for the same
period in 1999. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, average loans
increased $31.4 million to $285.2 million compared to $253.8 million for the
same period in 1999. The increase in average loans is the result of continuing
strong loan demand and management's effort to redirect a portion of its excess
cash reserves (Fed Funds Sold) into higher yielding assets.  The 25 basis point
decrease in net interest margin results from a 37 basis point increase in the
cost of interest bearing funds from 4.19% in 1999 to 4.56% for the first nine
months of 2000, while the yield on interest bearing assets on a taxable
equivalent basis increased by only 13 basis points from 8.19% to 8.32% for the
same periods.

Noninterest Income

Total  noninterest income, excluding securities transactions, was $533 thousand
for the quarter, a 12.2% increase from third quarter 1999 noninterest income of
$475 thousand.  There were no realized gains or losses on securities during the
quarter of either year. Service charges on deposit accounts increased 20.5%
compared to third quarter 1999 as the corporation returned to more normal growth
after a service charge decrease in 1999 related to implementation of an
overdraft protection product feature. Noninterest income, excluding securities
transactions,  for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 increased $246
thousand from $1.3 million in 1999 to $1.6 million in 2000, again the result of
increased service charges.

Noninterest Expense

Total noninterest expense increased $ 329 thousand or 14.8 % from $2.22 million
for the third quarter of 1999 to $2.55 million in 2000. Salary and benefits
expense increased $220 thousand or 18.5% for the quarter vs. 1999, as the result
of staffing of Hanover Bank and normal increases in salaries and benefits.  Net
occupancy expense showed a decrease of  $81 thousand or 21% for the quarter vs.
1999 to $306 thousand compared to $387 thousand in the same period in the prior
year, as assets reaching a fully depreciated level temporarily exceeded new
fixed assets acquired   All other noninterest expenses increased $190 thousand
or 29.3% to $ 839 thousand for the third quarter of 2000 from $649 thousand for
the same period in 1999, resulting primarily from the addition of Hanover Bank
start up which accounted for a $180 thousand increase in the all other operating
expense category.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, total noninterest expense
increased $1.06 million (16.4%) to $ 7.50 million from $ 6.44 million for the
comparable period of 1999.   The largest contributors to this increase are (1)
salaries and benefits which increased $504 thousand to $4.0 million from $3.5
million for the first nine months of 1999, with $234 thousand of this increase
attributed to the addition of Hanover Bank; occupancy and equipment expense
which increased $36 thousand or 3.5% to $1.07 million, compared to $1.03 million
for the same period of 1999, with depreciation expenses related to
implementation of imaging technology making up this entire increase; and other
noninterest expenses increasing $519 thousand or 27% to $2.44 million from $1.92
million at September 30, 1999.  The primary other noninterest expense increases
included: consultant fees up $110 thousand or 184% to $170 thousand; printing
and supplies up $109 thousand or 39% to $391 thousand; directors' fees up $46
thousand or 40% to $160 thousand; state exam fee up $45 thousand or 125% to $81
thousand, partially because of payment timing differences; data processing up
$44 thousand or 28% to $197 thousand; legal fees up $41 thousand or 68% to $101
thousand;  telephone up $34 thousand or 28%, and advertising/marketing up $30
thousand or 17% to $207 thousand.  Hanover Bank was responsible for $293
thousand or 49% of the increase in other noninterest expenses.

                                       9


Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the second quarter of 2000 was $471 thousand, compared to
$606 thousand for the same period in 1999.  Income taxes reflect an effective
tax rate of 26.3% for the first nine months of  2000 as compared to 27.0% for
the first nine months of 1999.

Impact of the Year 2000 Issue

As reported in EVB's annual report to shareholders, the Company encountered no
problems related to the Year 2000 date change.  Prior years' expenses related to
hardware and software upgrades and training proved to be effective investments
in ensuring quality customer service without interruption.



ASSET QUALITY

Asset quality continues to be good based on management review.  Loan quality is
the result of management employing conservative loan underwriting standards
while meeting the needs of customers.  Total nonperforming assets, which consist
of nonaccrual loans and foreclosed properties  were $2.4 million at September
30, 2000, compared to $2.1 million at year end 1999, reflecting a year-to-date
increase in nonperforming assets of 14.6%.  Nonperforming assets are composed
largely of real estate mortgage loans secured by residential real estate in the
Corporation's market area.  Based on estimated fair values of the related real
estate, management considers these amounts recoverable, with any individual
deficiency well covered by the allowance for loan losses.

Total loan charge-offs, less recoveries, amounted to $ 116 thousand for the
quarter and $199 thousand for the first nine months of 2000, representing an
annualized ratio of net charge-offs to total average loans, net of unearned
income, of  0.16 % and 0.09% for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 2000.  This compares to 1999 full year charge-offs of $216
thousand or 0.08% of average loans.

The allowance for loan losses  increased to $4.35 million at September 30, 2000,
as compared to $4.15 million at December 31, 1999.  The allowance increased $
199 thousand in the first nine months of 2000 compared to $244  thousand for the
first nine months of 1999.  The increase in the allowance for loan losses during
both periods was the result of increased lending activity in the loan portfolio.
The ratio of allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.50 % at September
30, 2000, and 1.52% at year end 1999.

                                       10


Nonperforming loans at September 30, 2000 were $ 1.7 million, or 0.60 % of total
loans, compared to $1.8 million or 0.67% at 1999 year end.  Also included in
nonperforming loans are loans considered impaired  on which management is
concerned about the ability of the customer to repay the loan and related
interest at the original contractual terms.  At September 30, 2000, the
corporation had no loans classified as impaired.  Interest income recognized on
impaired loans as of  September 30, 2000, was less than $ 1 thousand.  Loans
past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest because they were well
secured and in the process of collection were $818 thousand at September 30,
2000, compared to $1.35 million at December 31, 1999.

EVB closely monitors those loans that are deemed to be potential problem loans.
Loans are viewed as potential problem loans according to the ability of such
borrowers to comply with current repayment terms.  These loans are subject to
constant management attention, and their status is reviewed on a regular basis.
The potential problem loans identified at September 30, 2000 are generally
secured by residential and commercial real estate with appraised values that
exceed the principal balance.  At September 30, 2000,  potential problem loans
were approximately $ 915 thousand including 4 lending relationships with
principal balances in excess of $100,000 which had an aggregate principal
balance outstanding of $435 thousand.

LIQUIDITY

Liquidity represents the Company's ability to meet present and future deposit
withdrawals, to fund loans, to maintain reserve requirements and to operate the
organization.  To meet its liquidity needs, EVB maintains cash reserves,
primarily as federal funds sold and has an adequate flow of funds from maturing
loans, securities and short-term investments.  In addition, EVB's subsidiary
banks maintain borrowing arrangements with major regional banks, and the Federal
Home Loan Bank.  As a measure to further enhance liquidity, the Corporation
reclassified all held-to-maturity securities to the available-for-sale category
effective with the beginning of the second quarter.  Management considers its
sources of liquidity to be ample to meet its estimated liquidity needs.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

EVB's strong capital position provides the resources and flexibility to support
asset growth, absorb potential losses and to expand the Company's franchise when
appropriate.  The Company's risk-based capital position at September 30, 2000
was $44.21 million, or 17.08% of risk-weighted assets, for Tier 1 capital and
$47.44 million, or 18.41% for total risk based capital.  Tier 1 capital consists
primarily of common shareholders' equity, while total risk based capital adds a
portion of the allowance for loan losses to Tier 1.  Risk weighted assets are
determined by assigning various levels of risk to different categories of assets
and off-balance sheet activities.  Under current risk based capital standards,
all banks are required to have Tier 1 Capital of at least 4% and total capital
of 8%.

Inflation

In financial institutions, unlike most other industries, virtually all of the
assets and liabilities are monetary in nature.  As a result, interest rates have
a more significant impact on a bank's performance than the effects of general

                                       11


levels of inflation.  While interest rates are significantly impacted by
inflation, neither the timing nor the magnitude of the changes are directly
related to price level movements.  The impact of inflation on interest rates,
loan demand, and deposits are reflected in the consolidated financial
statements.
