                             FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 1.  Financial Statements.  (See Note Below)

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
         of Operations.

     Resource Capital Trust I (the "Trust") is a statutory business trust formed
under the Delaware Business Trust Act, as amended, pursuant to a trust
agreement, as amended by an amended and restated declaration of trust (the
"Declaration"), and the filing of a certificate of trust with the Delaware
Secretary of State on December 23, 1998.  The Trust exists for the exclusive
purposes of (i) issuing and selling trust securities consisting of $2.3125
Capital Securities (the "Capital Securities") and common securities (the "Common
Securities," and together with the Capital Securities, the "Trust Securities"),
representing undivided beneficial ownership interests in the assets of the
Trust, (ii) investing the proceeds from such issuance in Junior Subordinated
Debt Securities (the "Junior Subordinated Debt Securities") of Resource
Bankshares Corporation, a Virginia corporation (the "Corporation''), and (iii)
engaging in only those other activities necessary, advisable or incidental
thereto.  The Trust's sole assets are the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities,
and payments under the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities are the sole revenues
of the Trust.  Ownership of the Trust is evidenced by $284,550 aggregate
liquidation amount of Common Securities, all of which are held by the
Corporation, and by $9,200,000 aggregate liquidation amount of Capital
Securities.  The Trust makes distributions on the Trust Securities to the extent
it receives distributions from the Corporation on the Junior Subordinated Debt
Securities.  Distributions on the Trust Securities are guaranteed by the
Corporation, but only to the extent that the Trust has available funds to pay
such distributions.

     On March 9, 1999, the Trust invested the proceeds from the sale and
issuance of the Trust Securities in the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities.
The Trust's ability to pay distributions to the holders of the Capital
Securities is dependent on its receipt of distributions on the Junior
Subordinated Debt Securities from the Corporation.  Therefore, upon the receipt
by the Trust of payments from the Corporation, the Trust will pass through such
payments to the holders of the Capital Securities.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.  (See Note
         Below)

     NOTE:  Because the Trust is a special purpose financing entity with no
separate business operations and the only assets of the Trust are the Junior
Subordinated Debt Securities, the Trust does not believe that financial
statements for the Trust are meaningful.  Accordingly, financial statements and
related financial information have not been included in this Form 10-Q.  For
further information concerning the Corporation, including financial statements
and other financial information, see the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-
K for the year ended December 31, 2000, and the Corporation's Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 as filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission, copies of which may be obtained from the Corporate
Secretary of the Corporation at 3720 Virginia Beach Boulevard, Virginia Beach,
Virginia 23452.
