SOUTH BRANCH VALLEY BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) Note 1. Basis of Presentation The financial information included herein is unaudited; however, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods. The presentation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that effect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from the estimates. The results of operations for the six month period ended June 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes included herein should be read in conjunction with the Company's 1996 audited financial statements and Form 10-KSB. Certain accounts in the consolidated financial statements for 1996 as previously presented have been reclassified to conform to current year classifications. Note 2. Earnings Per Share Earnings per common share are computed based upon the weighted average shares outstanding. The weighted average shares outstanding were 381,164 at June 30, 1997 and 378,510 at June 30, 1996. The weighted average shares for the quarters ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 were 383,790, and 378,510 respectfully. Note 3. Investment in Marketable Equity Securities and Proposed Acquisition During the first quarter of 1997, the Company acquired approximately 4.2% of the common stock of Capital State Bank, Inc.(Capital State), a state banking corporation. On June 17, 1997, the Company received approval from regulatory authorities and acquired 35.4% of Capital State's outstanding stock bringing the total investment to 39.6%. At June 30, 1997, the Company's total investment in Capital State of $5,188,905, is recorded as Marketable Equity Securities in the accompanying condensed 8

consolidated financial statements. As a result of the Company's increase in control of Capital State's voting shares, and the insignificiance of the results of operations of Capital State, the Company changed it's method of accounting from the cost method to the equity method, effective July 1, 1997. Additionally, due to the insignificance of the results of operations of Capital State since the Company's investment in Capital State, this change in accounting method was insignificant. A summary of significant captions of Capital State's unaudited balance sheet and results of operations as of and for the six month period ended June 30, 1997, in thousands of dollars, is as follows: Total assets $34,777 Net loans $20,331 Total deposits $23,262 Total shareholders' equity $11,205 Total interest income $ 1,094 Net interest income $ 597 Net income $ (3) Reference can be made to Forms 8-K filed by the Company on January 15, 1997, February 7, 1997, March 27, 1997, June 17, 1997, July 8, 1997 and August 8, 1997 for further information related to the Company's planned investment in Capital State. These documents are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. Note 4. Long-term borrowings On February 18, 1997 and March 14, 1997, the Company obtained two long-term borrowings from two separate financial institutions in the amounts of $3,000,000 and $500,000 respectively, to fund a portion of it's investment in Capital State (see Note 3). Each of these loans bear an interest rate of prime minus .25%, adjusted annually, with interest payments due quarterly. Annual principal payments in the amount of $600,000 are due on the $3,000,000 loan, while quarterly principal payments in the amount of $20,833 are due on the $500,000 loan. The $3,000,000 loan is collateralized by 291,410 shares of Capital State stock that the Company owns. An additional 48,500 shares of Capital State stock presently owned is pledged as collateral for the $500,000 loan. The subsidiary bank also had long-term borrowings of $5,447,000 and $1,725,000 as of June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1996, respectively, which consisted of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh to fund local mortgage loan growth. The Company's total long-term borrowings bear an average interest rate of 7.16% as of June 30, 1997 and mature in varying amounts through the year 2010. A summary of the maturities of all long 9

term borrowings for the next five years and thereafter is as follows: 1998 $ 0 1999 340,000 2000 0 2001 500,000 2002 5,310,000 Thereafter 2,321,236 ---------- Total $8,471,236 ========== Note 5.

The proceeds from the sale, $1,489,968, net of $2,822 in issuance costs, were used to partially fund the Company's investment in Capital State common stock.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY The following is Management's discussion and analysis of the financial condition and financial results of operations for South Branch Valley Bancorp, Inc.(hereafter referred to as the Company) and its wholly owned subsidiary, South Branch Valley National Bank, (hereafter referred to as the Bank) as of June 30, 1997. This discussion may contain forward looking statements based on management's expectations and actual results may differ materially. Since the primary business activities of South Branch Valley Bancorp, Inc. are conducted through its wholly owned subsidiary (the Bank), the following discussion focuses primarily on the financial condition and operations of the Bank. All amounts and percentages have been rounded for this discussion. Earnings Summary - ---------------- Net income for the first six months of 1997 totaled $709,000, a $62,000 or a 9.6% increase from the $647,000 earned during the same period of 1996. For the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company's only subsidiary, South Branch Valley National Bank, had an increase in net income of $145,000, or 22.0% to $804,000 as compared with $659,000 for the same period ended June 30, 1996. Annualized return on average assets at June 30, 1997 was 1.10% as compared to 1.13% at June 30, 1996 a decrease of 5.3%. Earnings per share totaled $1.86 at June 30, 1997 compared to $1.71 at June 30, 1996 representing an 8.8% increase. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Net Interest Income - -------------------- For purposes of this discussion, the "taxable equivalent basis" adjustment has been included in interest income to reflect the level of income had income on state and municipal obligations exempt from Federal income tax been taxable, assuming a Federal tax rate of 34% in both 1997 and 1996. The amounts of tax equivalent adjustments were $40,000 in 1997 and $25,000 in 1996. For the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company's net interest income, as adjusted, increased $193,000 or 8.0% to $2,601,000 as compared with $2,408,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996. However, the Company's net interest yield on earning assets (net interest margin) decreased 9 basis points from 4.44% at June 30, 1996 to 4.35% for the six months ended June 30, 1997. Management feels that this decrease is due primarily to a competitive local market for loans and deposits which has caused a general lowering of rates on loans while deposit rates exceed those of national average. Pressures on the net interest yield remain a concern. 11

A detailed analysis of the net interest yield by component is shown on Table I. No significant fluctuations were noted and the Company does not expect any significant change in the Company's net yield during the remainder of 1997 given no significant changes in the present interest rate environment. Management continues to monitor the net interest margin through GAP analysis to minimize the potential for any significant negative impact. Provision for Loan Losses and Loan Quality - ------------------------------------------ An allowance for loan losses is maintained by the Company and is funded through the provision for loan losses as a charge to current earnings. The allowance for loan losses is reviewed by management on a quarterly basis to determine that it is maintained at levels considered necessary to cover potential losses associated with the Bank's current loan portfolio. The Company's provision for loan losses for the first six months of this year totaled $65,000 compared to $25,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996. This increase was primarily to provide for potential losses inherent in the Company's loan portfolio due to its continued growth in net loans outstanding.

The total of non-performing assets and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest has remained relatively stable during the past 12 months, and management has no knowledge that would lead them to believe that such assets will increase substantially during the remainder of 1997. Summary of Past Due Loans and Non-Performing Assets (in thousands of dollars) June 30 December 31 ---------------- ------------ 1997 1996 1996 Loans contractually past due 90 days or more and still $ 157 $ 159 $ 324 ===== ===== ===== accruing interest Non-performing assets: Non-accruing Loans $ 125 $ 450 $ 343 Other Repossessed Assets 31 -- 40 Other Real Estate Owned 40 40 29 ----- ---- ----- $ 196 $ 490 $ 412 ===== ===== ===== The level of non-performing assets has decreased during the past year due to management's continuing efforts to improve the quality of the Company's assets. Total loans past due 90 days or more plus non-performing assets have decreased approximately $296,000 or 45.6% from the same period last year. Loans contractually past due 90 days or more plus non-performing assets decreased approximately 52.0% or $383,000 since December 31, 1996. While there may be some loans or portions of loans identified as potential problem credits which are not specifically identified as either non-accrual or accruing loans past due 90 or more days, they are considered by management to be insignificant to the overall disclosure and are therefore not specifically quantified within the Management's Discussion and Analysis. Impaired loans totaled approximately $384,000 at June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996. A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that all amounts due will not be collected in accordance with the contractual terms of the specific loan agreement. Impaired loans, other than certain large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment, are reported at the present value of expected future cash flows discounted using the loan's original effective interest rate or, alternatively, at the loan's observable market price, or at the fair value of the loan's collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. At June 30, 1997, the allowance for loan losses totaled $822,000 or .9% of net loans compared to $852,000 or 1.1% of net loans at June 30, 1996, and $858,000 or 1.0% of net loans at December 31, 1996. Based on management's quarterly loan review procedures, management believes the recorded allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover potential losses identified or inherent in the loan portfolio as of each of the dates presented. 14

Non-interest Income - ------------------- Total other income decreased approximately $21,000 or 9.6% to $197,000 during the first six months of 1997, as compared to the first six months of 1996. A detailed discussion of non-interest income components follows. Insurance commissions decreased approximately $14,000 to $35,000 or 28.6% for the six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to the six months ended June 30, 1996. Management recognizes that this revenue can be sporadic but does expect the remainder of the year's insurance earnings to be more comparable to last year's based on expected loan growth. Service fee income increased $14,000 from approximately $109,000 to $123,000 or 12.8%. Management believes the Company will be able to maintain levels of service fee income similar to this throughout the remainder of 1997. No sales of securities were originated during the six months ended June 30, 1997. For the six months ended June 30, 1996, certain securities were sold to reinvest in similar securities with more favorable rates and terms, which resulted in an approximate $34,000 gain on sales of investment securities. Non-interest Expense - -------------------- Total non-interest expense increased approximately $57,000 or 3.6% to $1,657,000 during the first six months of 1997 as compared to the first six months of 1996. This slight increase is a result of management's planned emphasis on controlling non-interest expense. An increase of approximately $10,000 or 1.2% in salaries and employee benefits, which represents approximately 53% of total non-interest expense, can be attributed to a general increase in salaries and a slight increase in insurance costs. Other expense increased approximately $51,000 or 10.4% from $490,000 to $541,000 during the first six months of 1997 compared to 1996. The major factors contributing to this increase are as follows: ** Other insurance expense increased approximately $13,000 or 59.1% from $22,000 to $35,000 for the first six months of 1997 as compared to the first six months of 1996. This increase is due to revisions to existing policies and additional coverage purchased in 1997. ** Legal, accounting, and asset/liability consulting services increased approximately $29,000 or 52.7% from $55,000 at June 30, 1996 to $84,000 at June 30, 1997. Liquidity - --------- Liquidity in commercial banking can be defined as the ability to satisfy customer loan demand and meet deposit withdrawals while maximizing net interest income. The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits and principal and interest payments on loans. Additional funds are provided by 15

maturities of securities. The Company uses ratio analysis to monitor the changes in its sources and uses of funds so that an adequate liquidity position is maintained. At June 30, 1997 the loan to deposit ratio was 85.2% as compared to 75.1% at June 30, 1996. Cash and due from banks coupled with Federal funds sold totaled $3,294,000 or 2.5% of total assets. Additionally, securities and interest bearing deposits with other banks maturing within one year approximated $1,708,000 or 1.3% of total assets. Management believes that the liquidity of the Company is adequate and foresees no demands or conditions that would adversely affect it. FINANCIAL CONDITION Total Assets - ------------ The Company's total assets have increased approximately 9.5% or $11.6 million from December 31, 1996. The overall composition of the Company's assets has not changed significantly since year end 1996 except for the Company's investment in marketable equity securities which increased approximately $5,189,000. This increase was due to the Company's investment in Capital State, which was substantially funded through borrowings and proceeds received for the issuance of additional common stock as discussed in Notes 3 and 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. Investment in Capital State Bank, Inc. - -------------------------------------- The Company has signed a letter of intent with the board of directors of Capital State to acquire 100% of Capital States outstanding stock. This acquisition will enable the Company to expand into a larger and rapidly growing market area. For futher discussion of the Company's current investment in Capital State, see Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statement. Liabilities - ----------- Total deposits increased approximately 3.7% or $3.7 million from December 31, 1996, to $104,634,000 with no significant fluctuation in the Company's deposit mix. The Company's long term borrowings increased approximately $4,956,000 since December 31, 1996 to partially fund the purchase of Capital State stock and to fund local mortgage loan growth. See Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information related to the Company's long term borrowings. Short term borrowings have increased approximately $1,055,000 and have been used to fund additional loan growth. Shareholders' Equity - -------------------- The Company's total shareholders' equity has increased approximately $1,990,000 or 16.2% since December 31, 1996. This is the net result of an increase in retained earnings of $531,000 from net income, net of the 16

$115,000 cash dividend paid to shareholders in June 1997, $1,489,968 in net proceeds from the issuance of 34,317 new shares of common stock during June 1997, and a decrease of $34,000 in net unrealized gains on securities available for sale. See Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information related to the issuance of this stock. The Company's equity to total assets ratio was 10.7% at June 30, 1997 and 10.1% at December 31, 1996. The Company's subsidiary bank's total risk weighted capital ratio was approximately 14.0% at June 30, 1997 and is well within Federal regulatory minimum guidelines of 8.0%. The Company is not aware of any pending regulation which would have a material negative impact on its operations or financial condition. 17
