PART I

         In  addition  to  historical  information,   the  following  discussion
contains forward looking  statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties
that could cause the Company's  actual results to differ  materially  from those
anticipated.  These forward looking statements include,  but are not limited to,
statements  regarding the Company's  management of credit risk,  credit policies
generally,  allowances  for loan losses,  and the affect of increasing  interest
rates on the Company's profitability.  Several factors,  including the local and
national  economy,  and the demand for  residential  mortgage loans could have a
material affect on the Company's anticipated results.  Readers are cautioned not
to place undue  reliance on these  forward  looking  statements,  which  reflect
management's analysis only as of the date of this document.

Item 1. Business

         Resource   Bankshares   Corporation   (the   "Company"),   a   Virginia
corporation,  was  established in 1998 and is  headquartered  in Virginia Beach,
Virginia.  The  Company  was  capitalized  as the  result of a two for one share
exchange with Resource Bank (the "Bank"),  a Virginia state chartered bank. In a
share exchange,  the  shareholders of the Bank exchanged each of their shares of
Bank common stock for two shares of the  Company's  common  stock,  and the Bank
became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.  The Company conducts virtually
all of its  business  through the Bank.  In this Form 10-K,  the term  "Company"
refers to Resource Bankshares Corporation and Resource Bank collectively, unless
the context otherwise requires.

         The Bank opened for  business  September  1, 1988.  After four years of
initial losses the Bank was  recapitalized,  and a new  management  team and new
Board of  Directors  took  control  January 1, 1993.  Headquartered  in Virginia
Beach,  the Bank  operates  five  full  service  banking  offices  - one each in
Virginia Beach,  Chesapeake,  Newport News,  Herndon and Reston,  Virginia.  The
Herndon and Reston branches were acquired in December 1997 when Eastern American
Bank, FSB (Eastern American) merged with the Bank. All bank branches now operate
under the name Resource Bank. Prior to the  acquisition,  the Bank operated only
one  banking  office in  Virginia  Beach.  The branch  location  in  Chesapeake,
Virginia,  opened  during  the  second  quarter  of 1999 and the  Newport  News,
Virginia  branch opened  during the first  quarter of 2000.  The Bank also began
offering  online  banking  services,  providing  customers  with the  ability to
conduct banking business via a personal computer or other secure browser-enabled
device 24 hours per day through its Internet  site,  during the first quarter of
2000.

         The  Bank  serves  customers  throughout  Virginia,  providing  banking
services  primarily to individuals and businesses located in south Hampton Roads
in southeast Virginia, and Fairfax County in northern Virginia. The Bank markets
its services to consumers,  small to medium sized  businesses  and  professional
people and emphasizes personal relationship banking. A full range of services is
offered  including  checking and savings  accounts,  certificates of deposit and
charge cards, as well as services  typically  associated with larger banks, such
as sweep account capacity, automatic reconcilement,  and corporate credit cards.
The Bank is a Preferred  Lender under the Small  Business  Administration  (SBA)
program in both the  Richmond,  Virginia and  Washington,  DC SBA  districts and
ranked  number  four in loan  volume (29 loans  totaling  $5.9  million)  in the
Richmond district in fiscal year 1999.

         The Bank's mortgage division originates  residential one to four family
unit  mortgage  loans and sells  them to  investors  in the  national  secondary
market.  During 1999,  the Bank  originated and sold mortgage loans in excess of


                                       3


$286  million.  The  mortgage  division  originates  loans  from the  four  bank
locations  as well as from its  mortgage  offices in Virginia  Beach,  Richmond,
Chesapeake,  Reston,  and Bowie,  MD.  Additionally,  the Bank originates  loans
throughout the southwestern United States through its wholesale  operations,  as
well as through its participation in a limited liability company specializing in
relocation  services.  Mortgage closing and shipping operations are conducted at
the mortgage division office in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

(1) Average balances are computed on daily balances and Management believes such
balances are representative of the operations of the Company.

(2) Yield and rate percentages are all computed  through the  annualization
of interest  income and expenses versus the average balance of their  respective
accounts.

(3) Non-accrual  loans are included in the average loan  balances,  and
income on such loans is recognized on a cash basis.

(4) Consists of funds advanced in settlement of loans.

(5)  Interest  spread is the average  yield earned on earning  assets,  less the
average rate incurred on interest bearing  liabilities.

(6) Net interest  margin is net interest  income,  expressed as a percentage  of
average earning assets.

     As the largest  component of income,  net interest  income  represents  the
amount  that  interest  and fees  earned on loans and  investments  exceeds  the
interest  costs of funds used to support  these  earning  assets.  Net  interest
income is determined by the relative levels, rates and mix of earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities.

     For the year  ended  December  31,  1999,  net  interest  income  was $8.95
million, an increase of approximately $536 thousand,  or 6.4% over $8.41 million
for the same period in 1998.  Average  interest  earning assets  increased $29.0
million from 1998 to 1999 while average interest bearing  liabilities  increased
$28.8 million.  The yield on average  interest earning assets for the year ended
December 31, 1999 was 8.18% compared with 8.49% for the comparable  1998 period.
The 1999  yield on  loans  was 8.31%  compared  to 9.12%  in  1998.  The cost on
average interest bearing  liabilities decreased twenty basis points  during 1999
to 5.27%, compared to 5.47% during 1998.

     Net interest income for the year-ended  December 31, 1998 increased  69.8%,
or $3.46 million over 1997.  Average  interest  earning assets  increased $105.4
million from 1997 to 1998 while average interest bearing  liabilities  increased
$95.2 million.  The yield on average  interest earning assets for the year ended
December 31, 1998 was 8.49% compared with 8.61% for the comparable  1997 period.
The 1998  yield on  loans  was  9.12%,  compared  to 8.86% in 1997.  The cost on
average interest bearing liabilities increased fourteen basis points during 1998
to 5.47%, compared to 5.33% during 1997.

     The  Company's  net interest  margin is  sensitive to the loan  origination
volume of the mortgage  banking  division.  All loans originated by the mortgage
banking division are sold, servicing released, in the secondary mortgage market.
Each  mortgage loan  originated is sold when the borrower  locks-in the interest
rate on the loan.  When the  volume of  mortgage  loan  originations  increases,
typically  in  a  declining  interest  rate  environment,   "funds  advanced  in
settlement of mortgage  loans"  increases.  This balance  sheet item  represents
funds advanced to close  mortgage  loans,  pending  delivery of the loans to the
loan  purchaser.  Until a mortgage loan is  transferred  to the  purchaser,  the
Company  receives  interest  on the loan at the note  rate.  Funds  advanced  in
settlement  of mortgage  loans are  financed  to a large  extent with short term
Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings.  While such funds advanced  contribute to net
interest  income,  the interest  rate spread on this item is not as great as the
spread  on the  commercial  loan  portfolio,  which  normally  carries  a higher
interest yield and is financed with lower cost deposits. Thus, as funds advanced
in  settlement  of mortgage  loans  increase,  the  interest  spread and the net
interest margin decrease. The average balance of funds advanced in settlement of
mortgage loans was $16.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1999,  compared
to $39.9  million in the year ended  December  31,  1998 and  compared  to $13.2
million in the year ended December 31, 1997.

     Net interest  income is affected by changes in both average  interest rates
and average volumes of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities.
The  following  table sets forth the  amounts  of the total  change in  interest
income  that can be  attributed  to changes  in the  volume of  interest-bearing
assets and  liabilities  and the amount of the change that can be  attributed to
changes in  interest  rates.  The amount of the change not solely due to rate or
volume  changes was allocated  between the change due to rate and the change due
to volume based on the relative size of the rate and volume changes.



     Since June 1999, the Federal Reserve Bank has increased interest rates five
times,  raising short term rates by 125 basis points  during this period.  These
increases in market rates have resulted in corresponding  increases in the prime
lending  rate,  as  well as the  cost of  interest  bearing  deposits  including
certificates of deposit. Further increases in rates may continue to occur, which
could result in slowed economic growth and reduced borrowing activities.

Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis

     Management evaluates   interest  sensitivity   through   the   use   of  an
asset/liability  management  reporting  model  on a  quarterly  basis  and  then
formulates  strategies  regarding asset generation and pricing,  funding sources
and pricing,  and off-balance sheet commitments in order to decrease sensitivity
risk. These strategies are based on management's outlook regarding interest rate
movements,  the state of the regional and national economies and other financial
and business  risk  factors.  In addition,  the Company  establishes  prices for
deposits and loans based on local market  conditions  and manages its securities
portfolio under policies that take interest risk into account.

(1) Management has determined that interest  checking,  money market and savings
    accounts are not  sensitive to changes in related  market rates and,
    therefore, have been placed in the 1-5 years category.

     The December 31, 1999 results of the rate  sensitivity  analysis  show that
the  Company  had $97.1  million  more in assets  than  liabilities  subject  to
repricing within three months or less and was, therefore,  in an asset sensitive
position.

     The  cumulative  gap at the end of one year was a negative $6.0 million,  a
liability-sensitive  position.  Approximately  $163.5  million,  or 63.9% of the
total  loan  portfolio,  matures  or  re-prices  within  one  year or  less.  An
asset-sensitive  institution's  net  interest  margin  and net  interest  income
generally will be impacted  favorably by rising interest rates,  while that of a
liability  sensitive   institution  generally  will  be  impacted  favorably  by
declining rates.

     Increases  and decreases in the Company's  mortgage  banking  income (which
consists primarily of gains on sales of mortgage loans) tend to offset decreases
and  increases  in the net interest  margin.  In a climate of lower or declining
interest  rates,  the Company's net interest margin will tend to decrease as the

                                       8


yield on  interest  earning  assets  decreases  faster than the cost of interest
bearing liabilities.  Mortgage banking income, in contrast, tends to increase in
times of lower or declining interest rates, as refinancing  activity leads to an
increase  in  mortgage  loan  originations.  In a  climate  of  rising or higher
interest rates, the net interest margin will tend to increase,  while a decrease
in mortgage loan originations leads to a decrease in mortgage banking income.

     Commercial  business loans totaled $77.5 million, or 30% of the Bank's loan
portfolio at December 31, 1999.  These loans are typically  made on the basis of
the  borrower's  ability to make  repayment from cash flow from its business and
are  secured by  business  assets,  such as  commercial  real  estate,  accounts
receivable, equipment and inventory.

     Commercial real estate loans amounted to $132.2 million, or 52% of the loan
portfolio  at December  31,  1999.  These loans  typically  involve  larger loan
balances  concentrated  with single borrowers or groups of related borrowers and
payment  experience  is  typically  dependent on the  successful  operation of a
business or real estate project.

     Consumer or installment loans totaled $4.4 million,  and accounted for less
than 2% of the Bank's  loan  portfolio  at December  31,  1999.  Consumer  loans
include home improvement loans, automobile loans and unsecured lines of credit.

Nonperforming Assets

Unless well secured and in the process of  collection,  the Company places loans
on  non-accrual  status after being  delinquent  greater  than ninety  days,  or
earlier in situations in which the loans have developed  inherent  problems that
indicate payment of principal and interest may not be made in full. Whenever the
accrual of interest is stopped,  previously  accrued but  uncollected  income is
reversed. Thereafter,  interest is recognized only as cash is received. The loan
is  reinstated  to an  accrual  basis  after it has been  brought  current as to
principal and interest under the  contractual  terms of the loan. As of December
31, 1999, 1998, and 1997,  non-accrual loans amounted to $473,000,  $533,000 and
$3,059,000, respectively.

Summary of Loan Loss Experience

         The  allowance  for loan losses is increased by the  provision for loan
losses and reduced by loans  charged off net of  recoveries.  The  allowance for
loan losses is established  and maintained at a level judged by management to be
adequate to cover any  anticipated  loan losses to be incurred in the collection
of outstanding  loans.  In  determining  the adequate level of the allowance for
loan  losses,   management  considers  the  following  factors:  (a)  loan  loss
experience;  (b) problem  loans,  including  loans  judged to exhibit  potential
charge-off characteristics,  loans on which interest is no longer being accrued,
loans which are past due and loans which have been classified in the most recent
regulatory  examination;   and  (c)  anticipated  economic  conditions  and  the
potential  impact these  conditions  may have on individual  classifications  of
borrowers.

         The  provisions  for loan loss taken by the Company for the years ended
December  31,  1999,  1998 and 1997  were  $4,667,000,  $150,000  and  $155,000,
respectively.  The  significant  increase in the provision for loan loss in 1999
was the result of the credit  problems  encountered  within the Company's  asset
based  lending  program,  as discussed in Item 7 of this Form 10-K.  Such credit
quality problems were exclusively related to this business unit, and the Company
is, as a result, exiting this market segment.

         In  establishing  the  allowance  for loan  losses,  in addition to the
factors described above, management considers the following risk elements in the
loan portfolio.

         Construction  lending often  involves  larger loan balances with single
borrowers.  Construction  loans involve risks attributable to the fact that loan
funds are advanced upon the security of the home under construction, which is of
uncertain value prior to the completion of construction.  If there is a default,
the corporation may be required to complete and sell the home.

                                       13


         Commercial  real estate loans  typically  involve  larger loan balances
concentrated with single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. Additionally,
the  payment  experience  on loans  secured by income  producing  properties  is
typically  dependent on the successful  operation of a business or a real estate
project and thus may be subject to a greater extent to adverse conditions in the
real estate market or in the economy generally.

             Consumer loans entail risks,  particularly  in the case of consumer
loans  which are  unsecured,  such as lines of  credit,  or  secured  by rapidly
depreciable  assets  such  as  automobiles.   In  such  cases,  any  repossessed
collateral for a defaulted  consumer loan may not provide an adequate  source of
repayment of the outstanding loan balance as a result of the greater  likelihood
of damage, loss or depreciation. The remaining deficiency often does not warrant
further  substantial  collection  efforts  against the  borrower.  In  addition,
consumer loan collections are dependent on the borrower's  continuing  financial
stability,  thus are more likely to be adversely affected by job loss,  divorce,
illness or personal bankruptcy.  Furthermore, the application of various federal
and state laws,  including  federal  and state  bankruptcy  laws,  may limit the
amount which can be  recovered  on such loans.  Such loans may also give rise to
claims and defenses by a consumer loan borrower against an assignee of such loan
such as the Company,  and a borrower may be able to assert against such assignee
claims  and  defenses  which  it  has  against  the  seller  of  the  underlying
collateral.

         Commercial  business  loans  typically  are  made on the  basis  of the
borrower's  ability to make  repayment  from cash flow from its business and are
secured by business assets, such as commercial real estate, accounts receivable,
equipment  and  inventory.  As a  result,  the  availability  of  funds  for the
repayment of commercial  business  loans may be  substantially  dependent on the
success of the business itself.  Further, the collateral for commercial business
loans may depreciate over time and cannot be appraised with as much precision as
residential real estate.

Competition

     The  Bank  operates  in  highly  competitive  environments,  competing  for
deposits  and loans with major  regional and  national  banks,  as well as other
financial institutions,  many of which have greater financial resources than the
Bank. Most maintain numerous banking  locations and many perform services,  such
as trust services, which the Bank does not offer. Many of these competitors have
higher lending limits than the Bank. The Bank emphasizes  personal  relationship

                                       15


banking,  service,  and local  management  and decision  making in its marketing
strategies.  In addition,  the bank offers courier services and Internet banking
to its  clients  in an  effort  to  overcome  its  limited  number  of  physical
locations.

     The Bank has  contracted  with a  nationally  recognized  Internet  Banking
software company to provide a secure,  comprehensive  Internet package to market
its products and  service its  clientele.  This Internet  branch (www.resource
bankonline.com) provides customers with the ability to conduct banking  business
via a personal computer or other secure browser-enabled device 24 hours per day.
The  Bank offers special deposit accounts through this  Internet  branch,  which
features  competitive  interest  rates  and  ready  access  to funds on deposit.
Online  bill  payment and a download  capability  for  most  personal  financial
software  packages are also included in this program.

Regulation and Supervision of Resource Bank

     The Bank operates as a state  chartered  bank and is subject to supervision
and regulation by the Bureau of Financial  Institutions  ("BFI") of the Virginia
State Corporation Commission. As a member of the Federal Reserve System ("FRB"),
the Bank is also  supervised  and  regularly  examined by the FRB. The state and
federal  banking laws and regulations  govern  virtually all areas of the Bank's
operations including maintenance of cash reserves, loans, mortgages, maintenance
of minimum capital, mergers, payment of dividends, establishment of branches and
other aspects of operations.

     The  deposits  of the Bank are  insured by the  Federal  Deposit  Insurance
Corporation  ("FDIC")  which  insures  that member banks pay  depositors  to the
extent provided by law in the event an insured bank is closed without adequately
providing for the claims of depositors.  The majority of the Bank's deposits are
subject to the deposit  assessments  of the Bank  Insurance  Fund ("BIF") of the
FDIC. A portion of the  deposits of the Bank (those  acquired as a result of the
merger with Eastern American) are subject to assessments  imposed by the Savings
Association Insurance Funds ("SAIF") of the FDIC.

     The earnings and growth of the banking industry are affected by the general
conditions of the economy and by the fiscal and monetary policies of the Federal
Government  and its  agencies,  including  the FRB Bank.  The Board of Governors
regulates money and credit  conditions and, as a result,  has a strong influence
on  interest  rates  and on  general  economic  conditions.  The  effect of such
policies  in the  future on the  business  and  earnings  of the Bank  cannot be
predicted with certainty.

Regulation and Supervision of Resource Bankshares

     As a bank  holding  company,  Resource  Bankshares  is subject to state and
federal  banking and bank  holding  company  laws and  regulations  which impose
specific  requirements  or  restrictions  and  provide  for  general  regulatory
oversight with respect to virtually all aspects of its operations.

     The Company is registered  under the Bank Holding  Company Act ("BHCA") and
is subject to  regulation  by the  Federal  Reserve.  The  Federal  Reserve  has
jurisdiction under the BHCA to approve any bank or non-bank acquisition,  merger
or consolidation  proposed by a bank holding company. The Company is required to
file with the FRB periodic and annual reports and other  information  concerning
its own business operations and those of its subsidiary.  In addition,  the BHCA
requires  a bank  holding  company to obtain FRB  approval  before it  acquires,
directly or indirectly, ownership or control of any voting shares of a second or
subsequent bank if, after such acquisition, it would own or control more than 5%
of such  shares,  unless it already  owns or  controls a majority of such voting
shares.  FRB  approval  must  also be  obtained  before a bank  holding  company
acquires  all or  substantially  all of the assets of another  bank or merges or
consolidates with another bank holding company.

                                       16


     A bank holding company may not, without  providing prior notice to the FRB,
purchase  or redeem its own stock if the gross  consideration  to be paid,  when
added  to the  net  consideration  paid by the  company  for  all  purchases  or
redemptions  by the Company of its equity  securities  within the  preceding  12
months, will equal 10% or more of the Company's consolidated net worth unless it
meets the requirements of a well-capitalized and well-managed organization.

     The Company is subject to various  federal  securities laws and is required
to make certain  periodic  filings with the Securities  and Exchange  Commission
("SEC") as well as file certain  reports on the  occurrence of certain  material
events. The Company files quarterly, annual and current reports with the SEC. In
addition, directors, officers and certain shareholders and senior management are
subject to further reporting requirements including obligations to submit to the
SEC reports of beneficial ownership of the Company's securities.

Employees

     At  December  31,  1999  the  Company  had 175 full  time and 16 part  time
employees,  in its banking and  mortgage  operations.  None of its  employees is
represented  by  any  collective  bargaining  unit,  and  the  Company  believes
relations with its employees are good.

Executive Officers

     T. A. Grell,  Jr., has been  President and Chief  Operating  Officer of the
Bank, and Executive Vice President of the Company since December 1998. From 1984
until joining the Company,  he was a senior  officer at Central  Fidelity  Bank,
which was later  acquired by Wachovia  Bank.  He has 28 years  experience in the
banking industry and is active in civic affairs.

     Harvard R. Birdsong II, has been senior vice president of the Company since
December  1998 and senior vice  president  and chief credit  officer of the Bank
since January 1997. Prior to joining the Bank, he was a senior credit officer at
Essex  Savings  Bank,  where he was employed from 1984 through 1996. He has been
employed in the banking industry for 29 years and is active in civic affairs.

     Debra C. Dyckman has been senior vice president of operations and secretary
of the Bank since 1992 and of the Company since its  inception.  She has been in
banking  for 29  years  and  serves  on the  Board  of  Trustees  of Cape  Henry
Collegiate School.

Item 2.  Properties

     The Company  leases its banking and mortgage  origination  offices.  Leases
covering the banking operations are long term with renewal  provisions  designed
to assure  the Bank that it will be able to operate  in the  facilities  for the
foreseeable  future.  Details of the Bank's leases may be reviewed in Note 12 of
the Notes to Consolidated  Financial Statements.  The Bank purchased a four acre
lot in Herndon,  Virginia in December 1997 for future construction of a Northern
Virginia  regional office which will accommodate the Bank's  administration  and
branch offices that are currently  located in Herndon.  Construction is expected
to begin during 2000 with completion in 2001.

Item 3.  Legal Proceedings

     On November 5, 1999, AGM Development Corporation ("AGM"), Michael Agnew and
Barbara M. Agnew  (collectively  the "Agnews") (AGM and the Agnews  collectively
the  "Plaintiffs")  filed a lawsuit against  Resource Bank, the Company's wholly
owned banking subsidiary ("Bank"), in the Circuit Court for the City of Virginia

                                       17


Beach,  Virginia ("Court").  AGM and the Agnews are the borrowers and guarantors
under  certain  loans  which  the  Bank  declared  in  default  in  August  1999
("Defaulted  Loans").  For a detailed discussion of this loan default, see "Part
II. Item 7.  Management's  Discussion  and Analysis of Financial  Condition  and
Results of Operations."

     The lawsuit alleges that the Bank did not act in a commercially  reasonable
manner when it seized and attempted to liquidate certain collateral that secured
the Defaulted  Loans.  In connection  with this  allegation,  the Plaintiffs are
seeking a declaratory  judgment that all  obligations  of the  Plaintiffs to the
Bank have been  satisfied  and that the Bank is not entitled to seek  deficiency
judgments  against the Plaintiffs.  Based on advice of counsel,  management does
not  believe  that the relief  sought by the  Plaintiffs  will be granted by the
Court.

     The lawsuit  also alleges that the Bank's  proposed  public  auction of the
stock of a privately held company was not commercially reasonable. The stock was
owned by the Agnews  individually,  but was pledged by the Agnews to the Bank as
collateral  for the Defaulted  Loans.  The lawsuit asked the Court to enjoin the
public  auction that was scheduled on November 9, 1999.  No injunction  has been
granted.  The public  auction  occurred as scheduled on November 9, 1999 and the
Bank bid for and purchased  the stock on that date.  Based on advice of counsel,
management  believes that the public  auction was  conducted in accordance  with
applicable law.

     Thereafter,  AGM and the Agnews amended the lawsuit and generally  sought a
declaration  from the Court that certain  actions  taken by the Bank in pursuing
liquidation of its various  collateral were done so contrary to the requirements
of the Uniform Commercial Code of Virginia such that they were released from any
liability on the various  indebtednesses they owe the Bank. The amended pleading
also  requests  unspecified  monetary  damages.  The Bank has filed a Cross-Bill
seeking  judgment  against  AGM and the  Agnews in the  amount of  approximately
$3,500,000  under the Notes and the  Guaranty as well as for fraud.  AGM and the
Agnews have denied liability  thereunder.  The lawsuit is still in the pre-trial
discovery phase. No trial date has been set.

     The Company and the Bank intend to vigorously  defend all allegations  made
by the Plaintiffs in the lawsuit.  The Company does not believe that the lawsuit
will  have a  material  adverse  effect  on the  Company's  business,  financial
condition or results of operations.

Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

     No matters were submitted to the Company's  shareholders  for a vote during
the fourth quarter of 1999.

Item 7. Managements  Discussion  and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
        of Operations

     In addition  to historical  information, the  following discussion contains
forward  looking statements  that are  subject  to risks and uncertainties  that
could  cause  the  Company's  actual  results  to differ  materially  from those
anticipated. These  forward looking  statements include, but are not limited to,
the affect of  increasing  interest  rates on the  Company's  profitability, and
the  adequacy  of  the  Company's  allowance  for  future  loan losses.  Several
factors,  including  the Virginia  and national  economies  and the  demand  for
residential mortgage loans may adversely affect the Company's ability to achieve
expected  results.  Readers are  cautioned not to  place undue reliance on these
forward  looking statements, which  reflect management's analysis only as of the
date of this Report.

     On  December  1,  1997,  the Bank  acquired  Eastern  American  Bank,  FSB,
("Eastern  American  Bank") in a business  combination  accounted  for under the
purchase  method of accounting,  whereby the purchase price was allocated to the
underlying  assets  acquired and liabilities  assumed based on their  respective
fair values at the time of  acquisition.  In an exchange of common  shares,  the
Bank acquired $66,514,000 in assets (including cash of $12,539,000), $48,082,200
in net loans, and assumed $52,844,000 in deposit liabilities. Accordingly, these
acquired  assets and  liabilities  contributed to the growth in total assets and
liabilities  of the Bank for the year ended  December 31, 1997.  The Bank's 1997
results  included results by operations from Eastern American Bank for the month
of December 1997.

     In 1998, the former Eastern  American Bank  operations were integrated into
the Bank. The Northern  Virginia unit,  derived from Eastern  American Bank, has
since  contributed  significantly to average asset growth and has been accretive
to the Company's earnings.

     The following  discussion  should be read in conjunction with the Financial
Statements and Notes thereto included as Exhibit 99.1 of this Form 10-K.

Results of Operations and Financial Condition

     The  Company  had a net  loss  of  $690,800  for  1999  and net  income  of
$3,046,800 and $1,821,200 for 1998 and 1997, respectively.  This constituted net
basic  earnings per common share of $(.27) for 1999,  $1.24 for 1998,  and $0.92
for 1997.  With the diluted  effect of common  stock  equivalents,  earnings per
common share were $(.27) for 1999,  $1.13 for 1998,  and $0.83 in 1997. The loss
for the year ended December 31, 1999 was directly attributable to the $4,667,000
provision for loan losses taken in the third  quarter.  This  provision for loan
loss occurred as a result of credit problems with a significant  borrower within
the  Company's  asset based  lending  portfolio,  as announced by the Company in
August  1999.  The Company is in the process of exiting the asset based  lending
business, which represented only 5% of the Company's total loan portfolio.

     In regard to business  segment  reporting,  the Company's  mortgage banking
operations  resulted in a net loss before  income taxes of $418,897 for the year
ended  December  31,  1999,  as compared to net income  before  income  taxes of
$661,187 for the year ended  December 31, 1998.  The operating  loss in 1999 was
the result of decreased loan  origination volume,  caused by a general  increase
in interest rates and the reorganization of the mortgage operation in 1999.

     At December  31,  1999,  43.5% of total loans were due in one year or less.
Floating  rate loans with  maturities of one year or less  represented  37.2% of
total loans, and the remainder of loans had fixed rates.

        Average loans, net of unearned  income,  to average deposits were 93.6%,
82.8% and 82.2% in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

                                       22


Net Interest Income

     Net interest income, before provision for loan losses, increased by 6.4% in
1999 over 1998 to $8,945,660 and 69.8% in 1998 over 1997 to $8,409,983. The 1999
increase in net interest income was closely  proportionate  with the increase in
average  earning assets and interest  bearing  liabilities  during 1999.  During
1999, due to the continued expansion of commercial lending  activities,  average
loans increased  29.3% to  $217,598,379.  Due to the competitive  pricing of the
Company's   deposit  products,   average  total  deposits   increased  14.5%  to
$232,609,588.  Average  funds  borrowed  from the  Federal  Home  Loan  Bank and
correspondent  banks  decreased by 29.8% to  $12,506,348 in 1999. As part of its
mortgage banking operations,  funds were advanced on behalf of investor banks in
settlement of mortgage loans. Average funds advanced in settlement of such loans
decreased 59.6% to $16,118,051 in 1999.  Average  securities  increased 75.9% to
$21,791,325 and average interest bearing deposits in other banks decreased 49.7%
to $5,973,653 in 1999.

     For a historical  analysis of net interest  income,  see the table entitled
"Summary of Net Interest  Income" in Part I - Item 1. of this Form 10-K.  For an
analysis of the potential  for a change in interest  rates to impact the ability
of the Bank to  generate  future net  interest  income,  see the table  entitled
"Scheduled Maturity or Repricing" in Part I - Item 1. of this Form 10-K. This is
frequently  referred  to as the GAP  analysis,  which  analyzes  the  difference
between  interest-sensitive  assets and liabilities  for the  repricing/maturity
periods indicated.

     As can be seen  from the  historical  analysis  and the GAP  analysis,  the
Company is in an asset-sensitive position. In a period of rising interest rates,
the Company is positioned to increase future net interest income. Conversely, in
a period of declining interest rates the Company will be in a position to have a
decrease in future interest income. This managed GAP does not include the impact
of  mortgage  loan  volume  which  provides  a natural  hedge  against  this GAP
position.  Mortgage  banking  income  tends  to  increase  in  times of lower or
declining  interest  rates, as refinancing  effectively  leads to an increase in
mortgage loan  originations.  In a climate of higher or rising  interest  rates,
mortgage loan  originations,  particularly  refinancings,  decrease and mortgage
banking income therefore decreases.

Allowance for Loan Losses

     The ratio of net loans charged off to average loans  outstanding  was 2.06%
in 1999,  0.13% in 1998 and 0.02% in 1997.  The  allowance  for loan losses as a
percentage of loans at year end was 1.04%, 1.33% and 1.71% at December 31, 1999,
1998 and 1997,  respectively.  The level of non-performing loans at year end was
$743,000,  $945,000 and $4,398,000 in 1999,  1998 and 1997, or 0.29%,  0.50% and
2.92% of total loans, respectively.

     Management  made a provision for loan loss of $4,667,000 in 1999,  $150,000
in 1998 and $155,000 in 1997.  This  significant  increase in the  provision for
loan loss in 1999 over  previous  years was the result of the  previously  noted
credit problems  encountered  within the Company's asset based lending  program.
Such credit quality problems were exclusively related to this business unit, and
the Company is, as a result, exiting this market segment.

     The majority of non-accrual  loans  emanated from Eastern  American Bank at
the time of the merger in December  1997.  The  Company  has  executed a plan to
substantially  reduce the level of non-accruing  loans in its Northern  Virginia
portfolio since the merger.  As the result of significant  reductions in problem
assets and the  addition of several  experienced  commercial  lending  officers,
asset quality within the Northern  Virginia loan portfolio at December 31, 1999,
resembled that of the rest of the Bank.

     In  establishing  the  allowance  for loan losses,  management  considers a
number of factors, including loan asset quality, related collateral and economic
conditions  prevailing  during  the  loan's  repayment.  In its  loan  policies,


                                       23


management  has  emphasized  the  borrower's  ability to service  the debt,  the
borrower's general creditworthiness and the quality of collateral.

     While management believes that the allowance is sufficient for the existing
loan  portfolio,  there can be no assurances  that an  additional  allowance for
losses on existing  loans may not be  necessary in the future,  particularly  if
economic conditions within the Company's market areas were to deteriorate.

Potential Problem Loans

     At December 31,  1999,  the Company had $473,000 in  non-accrual  loans,  a
reduction of 11.3% from  December  31,  1998.  The Company had $270,000 in loans
past due 90 days or more that were still  accruing  at  December  31,  1999.  In
addition to loans on either non-accrual status or loans past due 90 days or more
and still accruing, management had identified $3,100,000 of loans that have been
internally  classified.  These loans require more than normal  attention and are
potentially problem loans.

     For the  historical  analysis of the Bank's loan loss  experience,  see the
table  entitled  "Summary of Loan Loss  Experience"  in Part I - Item 1. of this
Form 10-K.

Non-interest Income and Non-interest Expenses

     Non-interest  income was $6,811,342 in 1999,  down 14.3% from $7,943,413 in
1998.  Non-interest  income  increased  in 1998 by 75.7% over  1997,  due to the
merger  transaction  with Eastern American Bank and income derived from mortgage
banking operations. However, increases in market interest rates in 1999 caused a
decline in the residential  mortgage  market volume and a resultant  decrease of
the Company's  mortgage  banking income of 19.2% to  $5,709,225.  Because of the
uncertainty of future loan  origination  volume and the future level of interest
rates,  the Company may continue to experience  reductions  in mortgage  banking
income in future  periods.  Service charge income  decreased  slightly (0.2%) to
$759,289 in 1999,  and  increased  85.8% to $760,581 in 1998,  stemming from the
increased volume of deposit activity after the merger transaction in late 1997.

     Total  non-interest  expense was  $12,167,768  in 1999, an increase of 5.2%
from $11,565,616 in 1998.  Non-interest  expense  increased in 1999 over 1998 as
the result of adding  banking  operations  in  Chesapeake  and a loan  office in
Newport News,  Virginia,  as well as incurring expenses  specifically related to
the previously noted disposition of the credit problems encountered in the asset
based  lending  program.  Non-interest  expense  increased in 1998 by 77.0% over
1997,  as the result of the merger  with  Eastern  American  Bank.  The  largest
component of non-interest  expense,  salaries and employee  benefits,  increased
slightly  (0.7%)  in 1999 to  $6,735,896,  and by  65.7%  in 1998  over  1997 to
$6,686,381.  This category  comprised 55.4% of the Company's total  non-interest
expense in 1999, 57.8% in 1998, and 61.8% in 1997.  Occupancy  expense increased
to $1,185,861 in 1999 (up 8.9%) and by 90.7% in 1998 over 1997. Depreciation and
equipment maintenance expense increased by 22.0% in 1999 to $926,702,  and 65.7%
in 1998 over 1997.  The 1999  depreciation  and  equipment  maintenance  expense
increased as a result of the  re-organization  of the mortgage  division and the
opening of the Chesapeake and Newport News branches. The 1998 increase  resulted
from the merger and a  one-time  data  processing  systems  conversion.  Outside
computer  service  expense  decreased  by  11.3% in 1999 to  $485,458.  In 1998,
outside computer service expense increased 125.3% to $547,160 as a result of the
merger  and the  previously  mentioned  systems  conversion.  Professional  fees
increased  significantly  (110%)  in  1999 to  $340,821,  as the  result  of the
previously  discussed  credit  problems  in the  asset  based  lending  program.
Professional fees increased 34.6% in 1998 over 1997.

     Federal Deposit Insurance  Corporation ("FDIC") premiums increased 10.6% to
$58,125 in 1999,  and by 322.3% to  $52,580 in 1998 over 1997.  As the result of
the merger, FDIC insurance premiums are assessed on the Bank's deposit base on a
pro rata basis  whereby  approximately  68 percent  of the Bank's  deposits  are
subject to Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") rates,  and  approximately  32 percent of
deposits are subject to Savings Association  Insurance Fund ("SAIF") rates. This

                                       24


ratio of BIF and SAIF  assessment  rates was  established at the time of merger,
based on the relative sizes of the Bank and Eastern  American Bank deposit bases
at December 1, 1997.

     Stationery  and  supplies  expense  decreased  by 5.6% in 1999 to $496,814,
after  increasing  by 78.0%  in 1998,  primarily  from the  merger  transaction.
Marketing and business development increased by 16.8% in 1999 to $400,938, after
increasing by 67.3% in 1998.

Income Taxes

     The income tax benefit from the Company's 1999 loss was $386,958, resulting
in an effective tax rate of 35.9%. Applicable income taxes on 1998 earnings
amounted to $1,590,933, resulting in an effective tax rate of 34.3% compared to
34.6% in 1997.

Liquidity

     The Company's funding requirements are supplied from a range of traditional
sources,  including  various types of demand  deposits,  money market  accounts,
certificates of deposit and short-term borrowings. Large certificates of deposit
accounted  for 4.4% and 4.7% of total  deposits at  December  31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively.  Federal  Home Loan Bank of Atlanta  ("FHLB")  advances  were also
utilized as funding  sources,  with  $18,300,000 and $7,300,000 in such advances
outstanding at December 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998,  respectively.  Pursuant
to the  terms of a  variable  rate line of  credit  with the FHLB,  the Bank may
borrow  up to 12%  of the  Bank's  assets.  This  FHLB  credit  facility  has no
expiration date, but is re-evaluated periodically to determine the Bank's credit
worthiness. Additionally, the Bank has a warehouse line of credit collateralized
by first mortgage loans,  amounting to $50,000,000 and is renewable annually. As
of  December  31,  1999,  there was no  balance  drawn from this line of credit.
Management has no reason to believe these arrangements will not be renewed.

     Management  seeks to ensure  adequate  liquidity to fund loans and meet the
Company's  financial  requirements and  opportunities.  To provide liquidity for
current,  ongoing and  unanticipated  needs, the Company maintains federal funds
sold, money market accounts and a portfolio of debt securities. The Company also
structures and monitors the flow of funds from debt securities and from maturing
loans.  Securities are generally purchased to provide a source of liquidity.  At
December 31, 1999, the Company had $6,658,954,  fair market value, in securities
available-for-sale    and    $16,536,027,    amortized   cost,   in   securities
held-to-maturity.  Unrealized  holding  gains and losses for  available-for-sale
securities are excluded from earnings and reported as a net amount in a separate
component of  stockholders'  equity until  realized.  Securities are composed of
governmental or quasi-governmental  agencies,  and preferred stocks and bonds of
corporations with a credit rating no less than Bb . Net unrealized appreciation,
net of tax effect, on securities  available-for-sale  was ($126,036) and $60,929
at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Federal funds sold to correspondent
institutions   were   $1,445,000  and  $800,000  at  year  end  1999  and  1998,
respectively.

     The Company raised  approximately  $9,200,000 of additional  capital in the
first quarter of 1999 by offering 368,000 Trust Preferred  Securities at a price
of $25.00 per Security.  The Securities feature a 9.25% coupon. The Company,  in
turn, purchased $7,350,000 of non-cumulative 9.25% Preferred Stock issued by the
Bank  during the course of 1999.  This  Preferred  Stock will  qualify as Tier 1
capital for the Bank for regulatory  purposes.  This  additional  Tier 1 capital
provided the Bank with an increased  loans to one borrower  limitation,  and the
ability  to  continue  to grow its  balance  sheet  while  maintaining  its well
capitalized  status.  The Preferred Stock 9.25% coupon matches the coupon of the
Trust  Preferred  Securities.  The  remainder  of funds  generated  by the Trust
Preferred Securities offering,  estimated at $1,550,000 after offering expenses,
was  invested  in  marketable  securities  and used by the  Company in its stock

                                       25


repurchase program.  These marketable  securities are held as available-for-sale
to meet liquidity needs. The Company's stock repurchase  program was implemented
in part to help offset the potential dilutive effect of stock options granted to
the Company's  management as employment  recruitment and retention  perquisites.
During  1999  and  1998,  the  Company  repurchased  29,099  and  8,988  shares,
respectively.

Capital Resources and Adequacy

     The Federal  Reserve Board,  the FDIC and the Office of Thrift  Supervision
have issued  substantially  similar  risk-based and leverage capital  guidelines
applicable  to  banking   organizations  they  supervise.   Due  to  the  Bank's
capitalization, it is classified as "well capitalized".

     The  Company's  year-end  capital-to-asset  ratio was 5.17% at December 31,
1999 as compared to 7.62% at December 31, 1998.

     The capital  adequacy  standards  are based on an  established  minimum for
Risk-Based Capital, Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital and the Tier 1 Leverage Ratio.

     The following table summarizes the Company's  regulatory  capital ratios at
December 31, 1999.

                                  Required Ratio       Resource         Resource

     The Company is in full  compliance  with all  relevant  regulatory  capital
requirements.

Year 2000

     The Company's  preparation for the Year 2000 changeover  proved to be fully
adequate,  as no technical  difficulties were  experienced.  The cost associated
with Year 2000 readiness was $95 thousand, and is considered immaterial.

Item 7a. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk


     Management's  methodology to measure interest rate sensitivity  includes an
analysis of the  potential  gain or loss in future fair values of interest  rate
sensitive  instruments.  The Company's analysis assumes a hypothetical 200 basis
point  instantaneous  and parallel shift in the yield curve in interest rates. A
present value  computation is used in determining the effect of the hypothetical
interest  rate  changes  on the  fair  value  of  its  interest  rate  sensitive
instruments  as of December 31, 1999.  Computations  of  prospective  effects of
hypothetical  interest  rate  changes are based on many  assumptions,  including
relative levels of market interest  rates,  loan  prepayments and deposit decay.
They should not be relied upon as indicative  of actual  results.  Further,  the
computations do not contemplate  certain actions  management  could undertake in
response to changes in interest rates. Certain shortcomings are inherent in this
method of  analysis.  If market  conditions  vary from  assumptions  used in the
calculation of present value,  actual values may differ from amounts  disclosed.
However, if a hypothetical,  parallel and instantaneous 200 basis point increase
and decrease were experienced, net fair values of interest sensitive instruments
would be decreased by $1,200,000 and decreased by $113,000, respectively.

                                       26


     This fair  value  analysis,  performed  for the  Company  by a third  party
vendor,  tends to  overstate  interest  rate risk within the  Company's  balance
sheet. The analysis assigns the contractual long term maturity to mortgage loans
within the funds advanced for settlement account.  Such loans are generally held
by the Company for less than 60 days,  being pre-sold to third party  purchasers
when the individual  borrowers lock in their interest  rates.  This extension of
loan terms  within  this  category  of the  Company's  balance  sheet  increases
interest rate risk sensitivity calculated by the analysis.

     The  analysis  also does not include a forecast of loan and deposit  volume
changes  due to the  hypothetical  200 basis  point  interest  rate  change.  In
addition,  anticipated  increased  volume  in  the  Company's  mortgage  banking
operation  from a 200  basis  point  decrease  in rates is not  included  in the
analysis.  This expected volume increase in mortgage  lending as the result of a
decline in interest rates would positively impact the Company's earnings.

     The standard  algebraic formula for calculating  present value is utilized.
The  calculation  discounts the future cash flows of the Company's  portfolio of
interest  rate  sensitive  instruments  to present  value  utilizing  techniques
designed to approximate  current market rates for securities,  current  offering
rates for loans,  and the cost of alternative  funding for the given maturity of
deposits, and then assumes a 200 basis point instantaneous and parallel shift in
these rates.  The  difference  between  these numbers  represents  the resulting
hypothetical change in the fair value of interest rate sensitive instruments.

     Other  significant  assumptions  used in the  calculation  include:  (1) no
growth in volume (i.e.,  replacement of maturities in like instruments,  with no
change in balance sheet mix); (2) constant market interest rates  reflecting the
average rate from the last month of the given quarter;  and (3) pricing  spreads
to market rates  derived from an historical  analysis,  or from  assumptions  by
instrument type.

     The Company is not engaged in investment  strategies  involving  derivative
financial  instruments.  Asset and liability management is conducted without the
use of forward-based  contracts,  options,  swap agreements,  or other synthetic
financial instruments.
