                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                  (unaudited)



         The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, which
include the accounts of First Patriot Bankshares Corporation, (the "Company")
and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Patriot National Bank, (the "Bank") have been
prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include
all of the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles.
All adjustments have been made, which, in the opinion of management, are
necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods
presented.  Such adjustments are all of a normal and recurring nature. The
results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1996 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year
ending December 31, 1996.


NOTE 1 - ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND OTHER DATA

         Reference should be made to the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements included in the Annual Report to Stockholders on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1995 which contain the Company's accounting policies
and other data.


NOTE 2 - COMMON STOCK AND EARNINGS PER SHARE

         Common stock issued and outstanding totaled 2,020,827 shares at June
30, 1996 and 2,005,200 shares at December 31, 1995.  Stock options outstanding
at June 30, 1996, and December 31, 1995, totaled 119,738 and 112,480,
respectively.   Warrants outstanding totaled 271,798 at both June 30, 1996 and
December 31, 1995. The total number of options and warrants outstanding has
been retroactively adjusted for a 2% stock dividend issued on June 30, 1994 and
a two for one stock split issued on April 30, 1993.

         Earnings per common share and common equivalent share were computed by
dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during the period, including average common equivalent shares attributable to
dilutive stock options and warrants. The number of common shares was increased
by the number of shares issuable on the exercise of options and warrants when
the market price of the common stock exceeded the exercise price of the options
and warrants.  This increase in the number of shares was reduced by the number
of common shares that are assumed to have been purchased with the proceeds from
the exercise of the options and warrants; those purchases were assumed to have
been made when the market price of the common stock exceeded the exercise price
of the options and warrants. The average number of shares used in the
determination of earnings per common share and common equivalent

shares were 2,229,827 and 2,092,124 respectively, for the six months ended June
30, 1996 and 1995.  For the three months ended June 30, 1995 and 1995 the
average number of shares used in the determination of earnings per common share
and common equivalent share were 2,217,817 and 2,120,384, respectively.

         Commercial mortgage loans, which are primarily comprised of fully
leased real estate, accounted for 27.4% of the loan portfolio, net of unearned
income, at June 30, 1996, compared to 21.7% at December 31, 1995. 14.2% of the
loan portfolio at June 31, 1996 consisted of residential mortgage loans as
compared to 11.6% at December 31, 1995. These loans are primarily
owner-occupied real estate.  At June 30, 1996, real estate construction loans
composed approximately 15.7% of the Company's loan portfolio; unchanged from
December 31, 1995.  The loans are primarily used for construction of
owner-occupied pre-sold residential homes and are considered an attractive type
of lending due to their short-term maturities and higher yields. Commercial and
S.B.A. loans totaled $30.8 million or 27.2% of the Bank's total loan portfolio
at the end of the second quarter of 1996. At December 31, 1995 these loans
amounted to $32.3 million or 30.3% of the Bank's loan portfolio.  Commercial
business loans typically are made on the basis of the borrower's ability to
make payment from the cash flow of its business and are either unsecured or
secured by business assets, such as accounts receivable, equipment and
inventory.

          The Bank is a "Preferred" S.B.A. lender.  This designation means that
the S.B.A. has reviewed the Bank's loan procedures and determined that the Bank
meets S.B.A. standards for the underwriting and packaging of loans.  At June
30, 1996 total S.B.A.  loans were $19.5 million or 17.2% of total loans,
constituting one of the fastest growing segments of the Bank's loan portfolio.
Total S.B.A. loans available for sale were $8.2 million at June 30, 1996, which
was 7.3% of the Bank's total loan portfolio.  S.B.A.  loans are 75-90%
guaranteed by the Federal government.  The guaranteed portion of S.B.A. loans
are saleable in the secondary market.

         Installment loans were $4.8 million at June 30, 1996 up from $4.2
million at December 31, 1995.  Installment loans consist primarily of loans to
individuals and credit card loans.  Home Equity loans were down slightly from
December 31, 1995 to $5.1 million at June 30, 1996.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

         The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level at which
potential loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio would be absorbed.  The
allowance consists of funds set aside for specific loans and a general
unallocated reserve to offset any additional allocations needed.  At June 30,
1996 the allowance was $1.82 million or 1.61% of gross loans.  This is up from
$1.3 million and 1.25% of gross loans at December 31, 1995. The increase in the
allowance for loan losses is due to the growth in loans and a $500 thousand
loan on non-accrual for which a portion of the reserve has been specifically
allocated, in compliance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board rule
FAS-114 (Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan).

NON-PERFORMING AND PAST-DUE LOANS

         Past-due loans are loans whose principal is past-due 90 or more days
but are continuing to accrue interest because collection is in progress and the
loans are well-secured.  At June 30, 1996 there were four loans totaling $704
thousand that were past due 90 days or greater.  Past due loans of 90 days or
greater at December 31, 1995 consisted of three loans for $223 thousand.
Non-accrual loans consist of loans that are significantly past-due and the
collection of principal and interest on these loans has been deemed by
management to be in doubt. There was one loan on non-accrual at June 30, 1996
for $500 thousand which has been fully reserved and accounts for the increase
in the provision for loan losses.  There were no loans on non-accrual at
December 31, 1995.

         Included in past-due loans is one loan in the amount of $633 thousand. 
Subsequent to June 30, 1996, the borrower instituted bankruptcy proceedings. 
The loan is fully secured by real estate and no loss is anticipated.  By virtue
of the bankruptcy proceedings, two related loans that were not past due,
amounting to approximately $213 thousand, are now technically in default.  The
loans are secured by receivables and equipment and no loss is expected.

INVESTMENTS

         The Company's securities portfolio is comprised of U.S. Treasury
securities, U.S. Government Agency securities, U.S.  Government Agency mortgage
backed securities and tax exempt obligations of states and political
subdivisions.

margin within the Company's objectives.  The following table represents the
Company's interest rate sensitivity at June 30, 1996, using known maturities
and repricing schedules of loans, deposits and securities.  This table presents
