                             Corporate Objectives

             These corporate objectives are consistent with Essex
       Bancorp's strategic plan, as approved by the Board of Directors
      at the December 12, 2000 planning retreat and as set forth in the
                    business plan prepared in January 2001.

                             Corporate Objectives

 .  Full repayment of preferred stock plus accumulated dividends

 .  Generate positive return for common shareholders, despite negative book value
   per common share and negative earnings per common share and expectations for
   continued valuation deterioration

 .  Reduce the complexity of the capital structure to make the company more
   attractive to the investment community and/or potential acquirors

 .  Continue to implement strategies designed to enhance franchise value in the
   short-term and in the long-term

 .  Reduce expenses of operating as a public company, given that Essex Bancorp
   has not been able to take advantage of the benefits generally attributable to
   public company status

                       Common Shareholder Considerations

[LOGO]

ESSEX

                       Common Shareholder Considerations

 .  Continued Erosion of Common Shareholder Value Anticipated

     .  Current earnings are insufficient to cover the preferred stock dividend,
        despite Essex's growth and improvement in financial characteristics in
        recent years

          .  Thus common earnings per share (EPS) is negative, further eroding
             negative book value per share

     .  Current leveraged capital position restricts asset growth and
        diversification opportunities

          .  Thus earnings are not anticipated to increase to levels sufficient
             to cover preferred dividend or pay accumulated dividends to
             preferred shareholders in the foreseeable future

 .  Common Stock Ownership is Primarily Retail

     .  No control blocks of the outstanding shares of common stock

     .  Nominal institutional holders

     .  No shareholder activists

 .  Common Stock Price Does Not Reflect Fundamentals as a Going Concern

     .  No research coverage of common stock limits investment community
        awareness

     .  Potential misunderstanding of common stock characteristics given

          .  Negative EPS and book value per share

          .  Significant dilution potential posed by warrants and de facto
             voting control by warrant holders

     .  Outlook for a common stock dividend is unrealistic

 .  Other Considerations

     .  Costly to operate as a registered publicly-traded company, particularly
        given large number of shareholders

     .  Full benefit of net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs") not currently
        anticipated to be realized

                                                                             5


                       Common Shareholder Considerations

 .  Alternative Strategies Suggest No Value or Value Below Current Stock Price

     .  Sale of Control Strategy

          .  Limited acquisition interest from prospective acquirors for entire
             company, in part due to complex capital structure and geographic
             spread of branches

          .  Past acquisition interest indicated total deal values in which
             common shareholders would have received no consideration and
             preferred shareholders would receive a haircut

     .  Sale of Preferred Stock to Third Parties Who Could Utilize the NOLs
          .  Limited interest from prospective purchasers who could benefit from
             NOLs
          .  Financial modernization legislation eliminated non financial
             services companies from being prospective purchasers
          .  Provided no immediate benefit to common shareholders

     .  Full/Partial Preferred Stock Refunding Strategy (Common Stock Offering)

          .  Limited interest by investment banking firms in such a transaction

          .  Weak market conditions have prevailed for new thrift offerings
             during last couple of years

          .  Would be highly dilutive to current common shareholders, given size
             of offering and anticipated pricing at levels well below current
             market price

          .  Limited short-term benefit to common shareholders

     .  Liquidation Strategy

          .  Risky strategy as a publicly-traded company if liquidation is not
             fully completed or liquidation residual fall short of initial
             expectations

          .  Highest liquidation returns may be realized if liquidation process
             can be conducted discretely (disclosure required as a public
             company limits ability to be discrete)

          .  Potential liquidation residual for common shareholders difficult to
             quantify -- fairness issues arise if residual falls short of
             expectations (at which point strategy would not be reversible)

                       Common Shareholder Considerations

 .  Capital Structure Impact on Operating Strategy and Operations

     .  The overall shareholder strategy is highly influential on the
        appropriate short-term and long-term financial, operational and
        competitive strategies to implement -- suggesting that shareholder
        strategies should be addressed first

     .  Until a selected shareholder strategy is implemented, there is a
        tendency to be less profitable, efficient and competitive given the
        short-term bias

     .  Financial Considerations: Short-term vs. Long-term

          .  Investment in loan participations to enhance portfolio yield --
             tendency to pass up potential participation opportunities which may
             provide higher yields

          .  Length of contracts (maintenance, insurance, data processing and
             other service contracts) -- tendency to execute short-term
             contracts which have higher costs but reduces exposure of contract
             termination provisions

     .  Operational Considerations: Short-term vs. Long term

          .  De novo branching -- reluctance to pursue branching given short-
             term adverse impact on earnings

          .  Branch acquisitions -- reluctance to create intangible assets

          .  Investment in technology -- reluctance to pursue investment in
             online banking systems and marketing software given short-term
             adverse impact to earnings and potential disruption to employees
             and customers

          .  Staffing considerations -- difficult to attract and retain key
             management and personnel in new business lines and existing
             business lines

          .  Strategic acquisitions or affiliations -- difficult to pursue
             acquisitions or affiliations given complexities of capital
             structure and stock price characteristics

                      Privatization Transaction Overview

 At this point, the privatization transaction structure has been preliminarily
  developed. Thus, changes to the overall structure may have an impact on the
          common stock valuation considerations and valuation range.

                            Privatization Strategy:
                                 Pros and Cons

 .  Pros
     *  Eliminates risk of no residual value for current common shareholders

     *  May be funded with debt, no additional investment by preferred
        shareholders required

     *  Eliminates cost of being a public company (exceeds $100,000 annually)

     *  Increased flexibility as a privately-held institution, since composition
        of new common shareholders will be similar to the preferred
        stock/warrant holders

     *  Gain ability to consider subchapter S corporate status, as total new
        common shareholders are anticipated to fall below the 75 shareholder
        threshold

     *  Better positioned to pay dividends to new common shareholders (ie., the
        warrant holding preferred shareholders)

     *  Simplified capital and ownership structure enhances ability to implement
        alternative strategies (enhanced marketability in strategic
        affiliations, future public offerings or a sale of control)

 .  Cons

     *  Transaction involves a number of complexities and many issues need to be
        examined --accounting and tax matters, determination of fair value for
        the common shareholder and warrant holders, director independence

     *  Reduced utilization of NOLs

     *  Transaction costs:  legal, financial, accounting, regulatory, printing,
        mailing, proxy solicitation

     *  May dilute potential return to holders of preferred stock and warrants

                       Media Coverage of "Going Private"

 .  Weekly Adviser: In A Buyer's Market, Going Private Makes Sense
   --------------------------------------------------------------

 .  Tuesday, March 14, 2000
   By Paul S. Nadler

 .  In concluding last week's column, we asked community banks whether they would
   be better off de-registering and going private.

 .  The current merger and acquisition climate has created a buyer's market for
   community banks. Many banks aren't getting offers at all, and those that are
   often find that multiples are far lower than they were 18 to 24 months ago.

 .  This may seem odd to those whose banks and thrifts have gone public and have
   given up their mutual status. Going public, they felt, would provide more
   capital, give the bank a chance to issue options to employees, and generate
   profits for those connected with the bank as market prices rose.

 .  The last few months have shown this is not always the case. Bringing in
   institutional investors has forced the banks to concentrate on generating
   profits to influence share price, even if they must increase their risk.
   There is also the concern that unhappy institutional investors might shake up
   the bank's hierarchy.

 .  A small private bank has no such worries; it can devote its earnings to
   salaries and to benefiting its community, instead of trying to boost share
   price.

 .  Equally important, a privately held bank can become a subchapter S
   corporation. This means the bank does not have to pay taxes on earnings
   before distributing them to shareholders.

 .  The question is: How do you go private?

 .  The law says you can have no more than 75 shareholders to become an S
   corporation. An attempt to have this raised to 150 was defeated in last
   year's congressional session.

 .  The most basic tool for reducing the number of shareholders is a tender
   offer. The offer must be above the market price of the bank and must have a
   solid investment banker's approval.

 .  A tender offer also requires salesmanship. Persuading institutional holders
   to tender won't be too difficult, because they will see that the bank's stock
   is going nowhere and decide their capital is better used elsewhere.

 .  Individuals, however, must be shown that their bank stock would lose
   liquidity and that it would be difficult to retrieve their investments.
 .  Sometimes a reverse split is necessary. If the bank does not have enough
   capital to finance a tender, it may have to sell bonds.

 .  The bank can improve its position in the community by lessening shareholders.
   It may, of course, want to keep certain shareholders because of the business
   they generate. The 75 remaining shareholders can be valuable assets instead
   of just recipients of the bank's profits.

 .  A great many mutuals have listened to the siren song of the investment
   bankers: "If you go public you will become rich."

 .  Many bankers who did go public learned you can become poor, too; their stocks
   dropped below the initial offering price or, as happened in a number of
   cases, down to zero.

 .  Now the banks that go private can concentrate on their other two publics:
   their employees and their community. This is where community banks' strength
   has been and where it may reemerge.

   at Rutgers University Graduate School of Management.

                      Privatization Transaction Structure

 .  Essex establishes a new and temporary company e.g., Essex Acquisition Corp.
   ("EAC")

 .  EAC borrows from 3rd party in order to fund a cash merger with Essex in which
   the holders of common shares receive fair market value

 .  With at least 50% vote of common shares, the merger is completed and such
   voted shares are cancelled

 .  Preferred shareholders are issued new shares of common stock on a pro rata
   basis based on their interests in the exercisable warrants for newly-issued
   common shares

 .  With approximately 60 investors, Essex de-registers as a public company

 .  Dividends upstreamed from Essex Savings Bank to the holding company provides
   the ability to service the debt

                   Peer Group Analysis (Going Concern Basis)

Due to inherent differences in the business, operations, financial condition and
 capital structure of Essex relative to the Peer Group, it is inappropriate to
rely solely on such comparative analysis for the determination of value of the
outstanding shares of common stock. First, such technique addresses the value of
minority stock with no controlling interest, unlike the Essex situation. Second,
 unlike Essex, the Peer Group maintains positive earnings per common share and
book value per common share, providing a fundamental basis for the Peer Group's
                             common stock pricing.

                   Peer Group Analysis (Going Concern Basis)

 .  RP Financial compared the financial and market performance of Essex, based on
   various financial measures relative to a peer group of publicly traded
   thrifts

     *  Financial Performance

          .  Financial condition, earnings performance, operating efficiency

          .  Capital adequacy

          .  Asset quality, adequacy of valuation allowances

     *  Market Performance

          .  Price/common book value per share

          .  Price/earnings per common share

          .  Dividend yields

 .  Peer Group selected on the basis of

     *  Publicly-traded (NASDAQ, AMEX, NYSE)

     *  Southeast region

     *  Asset size (under $1 billion in assets)

     *  Operating strategy (traditional thrift strategy with mortgage banking
        emphasis)

     *  Corporate structure (excludes mutual holding companies)

 .  Pricing comparison not highly meaningful given the negative book value per
   common share and earnings per common share, as application of Peer Group
   multiples, even before adjustments, indicates nominal value of Essex common
   shares

                       Comparable Transactions Analysis
                            (Sale of Control Basis)

      Due to inherent differences in the business, operations, financial
  condition and capital structure of Essex relative to the Peer Group, it is
    inappropriate to rely solely on comparable sale of control transactions
      for the determination of value of the outstanding shares of common
      stock. Unlike Essex, the Peer Group maintains positive earnings per
           common share and book value per common share, providing a
      fundamental basis for sale of control pricing of the common stock.
    Importantly, after contacting numerous parties regarding a prospective
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    acquisition, no party indicated a purchase price that would result in
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
                   positive returns for common shareholders.

                     Peer Group Analysis (Sale of Control)

 .  RP Financial compared the financial and market performance of Essex, based on
   various financial measures relative to the acquisitions of publicly traded
   thrifts from 1998 to present, considering the following data:

      .  Financial Performance
           .  Financial condition, earnings performance, operating efficiency
           .  Capital adequacy
           .  Asset quality, adequacy of valuation allowances
      .  Market Performance
           .  Price/common book value per share
           .  Price/earnings per common share
           .  Dividend yields
 .    Comparable transactions selected on the basis of
      .  Publicly-traded (NASDAQ, AMEX, NYSE)
      .  Completed 1998 to present
      .  Excluded acquisitions of mutual holding companies and strategic mergers
         and mergers of equals

 .    Pricing comparison not highly meaningful given the negative book value per
     common share and earnings per common share, as application of Peer Group
     multiples, even before adjustments, indicates a small positive value of
     Essex common shares -- however, market testing indicated no value would be
                            ---------------------------------------------------
     realized by common shareholders in a prospective sale

                             Premium Paid Analysis

 .  RP Financial reviewed the implied premium paid for the common stock in the
   following transactions:

     .  1. Acquisitions of publicly-traded banks and thrifts
          .  While all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Essex are
             being repurchased in the privatization transaction, similar to an
             acquisition, the warrant holders already have de facto control
          .  Accordingly, the privatization transaction would not need to
             reflect a full control premium in the acquisition context

     .  2. Other going private transactions of banks and thrifts
          .  Essex's privatization transaction is unique structurally, but share
             a number of similarities as well
          .  Differing structures of going private transactions leads to wide
             range of premiums paid

     .  3. "Dutch tender auction" transactions of banks and thrifts
          .  Dutch auction repurchases are for only a portion of the shares
             outstanding, where all of the outstanding shares of common stock of
             Essex are being repurchased in the privatization transaction
          .  Accordingly, the pricing in Essex's may require a higher premium
             than paid in Dutch auction self tender transactions

                            Premium Paid Analysis:
                  3.  Premiums Paid In Dutch Tender Auctions

 .    Objective

      *   A stock repurchase strategy to deploy excess capital, particularly if
          Board/management perceive that current stock price is undervalued and
          seeks to repurchase a large block of shares

 .    Structure of Modified Dutch Auctions

      *   Involves a tender offer by the company to purchase a set amount of
          shares at a range of prices

      *   Range of stock prices typically reflects a premium to the current
          trading price for the stock as an incentive to shareholders to tender
          their shares

      *   Stockholders offer their shares at a selected price within the range,
          and the company purchases shares either at

               .  (i)  the average price offered or
               .  (ii) the lowest prices tendered

 .    Other Considerations

      *   Reduces equity quickly

      *   Increases ownership interest of insiders

      *   Avoids brokerage fees for stockholders/Company generally pays stock
          transfer charges

      *   Possibly opens the door to a third party offer

               .  Since company is signaling its overcapitalization and
                  undervaluation -- raises questions of ability to generate
                  market rate of returns
               .  Raises questions regarding the ability to realize a higher
                  premium pursuant to a sale of control

 .    Pricing Analysis (see following table)

      *   Approximately 15% control premium to acquire nearly 20% of shares
          outstanding

                         Discounted Cash Flow Analysis

   Five year financial projections were prepared, based on a continuation of
  Essex's fiscal 2001 business plan, to evaluate the potential impact to book
  value per common share and earnings per common share while maintaining the
                          current capital structure.

Despite strong projected earnings growth, it does not appear that earnings will
cover the preferred dividends, which are increasing at a compounded rate. Thus,
      it appears no value is generated under this scenario for the common
                                 shareholders.

                         Discounted Cash Flow Analysis

 .  Value determined by present value of (1) dividends over the next 5 years plus
   (2) the terminal value, reflecting multipliers applied to year 5 earnings and
   book value incorporating Essex's business plan.

 .  Annual asset growth:  7.5% annually, reflecting slightly faster loan growth,
   and funded primarily by deposits, as some borrowings are repaid in 2001 and
   maintained constant after

 .  Key operating assumptions

     *    Constant interest rates

     *    No significant change in asset mix (except as noted above)

     *    No significant change in risk profile -- maintain constant loan loss
          provisions

     *    Other income growth moderates after strong growth in 2001

     *    Operating expense growth moderates after strong growth in 2001

     *    Earnings are taxable at a 39.55% effective rate (consistent with
          budget)

     *    No dividends paid to preferred or common shareholders

     *    No change in common shares outstanding (no exercise of warrants or
          options)

     *    Terminal value multipliers are derived from thrift acquisition pricing
          ratios

     *    15% discount rate applied to future cash flows (dividends and terminal
          value)

     *    No significant change in regulatory or competitive environment

 . Summary of Projections

     *    Earnings increase from $0.568 million in 2001 to $1.860 million in
          2005

     *    Book value per common share deficit continues to grow to -$10.17 in
          Year 5

     *    Earnings per common share deficit begins to improve but remains
          negative -$1.44 in Year 5

 . Common Stock Valuation Conclusion Pursuant to DCF Technique

     *  No value can determined pursuant to a stand alone operation while
        maintaining current capital structure, and common shareholder position
        continues to deteriorate

                Relevancy of Common Stock Valuation Techniques
                            to Essex Bancorp, Inc.

 .  Peer Group Analysis

     *  Technique determines value of minority stock without any premium

     *  Application of technique suggests no value for Essex common shares given
        the negative book value per common share and negative earnings per
        common share

 .  Comparable Transactions Analysis

     *  Technique determines value of stock pursuant to merger transactions,
        based on pricing multiples paid for earnings, book value, core deposits
        and assets

     *  Application of technique suggests a nominal common stock value for
        Essex, if any

 .  Premium Paid Analyses (Relative to Pre-Announcement Stock Price)

     *  Acquisitions of publicly-traded banks and thrifts

          .  Given that warrant holders already have de facto control, and since
             Essex's stock is trading well above the value implied by
             fundamentals, the premium paid for control in acquisitions of
             publicly-traded banks and thrifts serves to set an upper limit for
             the appropriate premium for the outstanding shares of common stock
             in Essex's case

     *  Other "going private" transactions of publicly-traded banks and thrifts

          .  In applying the wide range of premiums paid in the limited number
             of other "going private" transactions of public banks and thrifts,
             the uniqueness of Essex's characteristics and reasons for the
             privatization must be considered

     *  "Dutch tender auction" transactions for publicly-traded banks and
        thrifts

          .  Dutch auction transactions typically do not result in control by
             the remaining common shareholders, while the Essex warrant holders
             have de facto control even before the privatization transaction,
             thus the "Dutch tender auction" premium paid by publicly traded
             banks and thrifts serves to set the lower limit for the appropriate
             premium for the outstanding shares of common stock in Essex's case

 .  Discounted cash flow analysis

     *  Since earnings per common share is not projected to turn positive in the
        next 5 years and the book value per common share deficit deteriorates
        further, the application of this technique suggests no value for the
        Essex common stock absent a capital structure transaction
