Business General Eastern Virginia Bankshares, Inc.

On December 29, 1997, the effective date, Southside Bank (SSB) a state chartered nonmember bank and Bank of Northumberland, Inc., (BNI) a state chartered Federal Reserve member bank, the "Banks" , became wholly-owned subsidiaries of EVB.

The Banks have retained their respective names, banking offices, executive officers and boards of directors. This form 10-K covers the first full year of operations for the period ended December 31, 1998 and pro forma combined operations of the subsidiary companies for periods prior to the actual consolidation The remainder of the response to this Item is incorporated by reference to the information under the captions "To Our Stockholders" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of EVB's Annual Report to Shareholders. Employees As of December 31, 1998, the Company had no employees. The subsidiary banks employed 131 full-time equivalent employees. EVB's success is highly dependent on its ability to attract and retain qualified employees. Competition for employees is intense in the financial services industry. The Company believes it has been successful in its efforts to recruit qualified employees, but there is no assurance that it will continue to be successful in the future. None of the Company's employees are subject to collective bargaining agreements. EVB believes relations with its employees are excellent. Item 2. Properties EVB, the parent company, did not own any property as of December 31, 1998. The Company's principal executive offices are located at 307 Church Lane, Tappahannock, Virginia 22560.

The two subsidiary banks own 12 full service branch buildings including the land on which 11 of those buildings are located. Northumberland and Middlesex Counties each are the home to three of the branches. Essex County which houses the corporate offices is home to two branches while Hanover County, King William County, Caroline County and Gloucester County each have one full service branch office. All properties are in good condition. Item 3. Legal Proceedings In the course of its operations, EVB and its subsidiaries are not aware of any material pending or threatened litigation, unasserted claims and/or assessments through December 31, 1998, or subsequent thereto.
