                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               September 30, 1998
                                   (UNAUDITED)
                  (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT FOR SHARE DATA)

Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(1)  GENERAL

      Resource Bankshares Corporation, a Virginia Corporation (the "Company"),
was incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia on February 4,
1998, primarily to serve as a holding company for Resource Bank (the "Bank").

      On July 1, 1998, all Resource Bank common stock, $3.00 par value (the
"Bank Stock") was converted to the common stock, $1.50 par value, of the Company
(the "Holding Company Common Stock") on a two share for one share exchange
basis, making the Bank a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the
"Reorganization"). In order to effect the Reorganization, the Company issued
approximately 2,453,380 shares of common stock. Accordingly, the average number
of shares outstanding and per share amounts for earnings, dividends declared,
and book value have been restated for all periods presented to give affect to
the conversion.

        All requisite regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of all other
conditions to the Reorganization have been completed. The Reorganization was
effective on July 1, 1998. The financial statements reflect the financial
position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company for the period
ended September 30, 1998. The financial statements conform to generally accepted
accounting principles and to general banking industry practices. The interim
period financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of
management, all adjustments in the normal recurring nature which are necessary
for a fair presentation of the financial statements included herein have been
reflected in the financial statements. The results of operations for the interim
periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
full year.

(2)  CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

      For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include
cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits, and federal funds sold.

(3)  SECURITIES

      The amortized costs, gross unrealized gains, gross unrealized losses, and
fair values for securities at September 30, 1998, are shown in the table below.

(5)  NET INCOME PER SHARE

      The Bank adopted Financial  Accounting  Standards Board (FASB) Statement
No. 128,  Earnings  Per Share,  on  December  31,  1997.  This  statement
established standards  for  computing  and   presenting   earnings  per  shares
(EPS).   This statement  supersedes  standards  previously  set  forth in APB
Opinion  No.  15, Earnings  Per  Share.  FASB No.  128  requires  dual

issued for periods after December 15, 1997. In accordance with the requirements
of this Statement, all prior period EPS have been restated to reflect the change
in reporting requirements.

      Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available
to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for
the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if
securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised, converted
into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shares
in the earnings of the entity. The average number of basic shares outstanding
for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 were 2,479,446 and
1,935,748, respectively. The diluted average number of shares for the nine
months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 were 2,697,877 and 2,126,853,
respectively.


(6) COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Comprehensive income for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 is as follows:

            Net income                    $ 2,300

            Other comprehensive

ITEM 2.     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
            CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
            (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT FOR SHARE DATA)

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

      On June 9, 1998, the shareholders of Resource Bank ("Bank") approved an
Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated April 10, 1998, as amended (the
Agreement), relating to the formation of a bank holding company structure with
Resource Bankshares Corporation (hereinafter referred to, together with the
Bank, as "the Company") serving as the holding company of the Bank. This
transaction was consummated on July 1, 1998.

            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 effect 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 local and national economy and the demand for residential mortgage
loans and the adequacy of the Company's Year 2000 compliance, may adversely
affect the Company's ability to achieve the 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") in a business combination accounted for under the purchase
method of accounting, whereby the purchase price has been 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 in assets (including cash of $12,539), $48,082 in net
loans, and assumed $52,844 in deposit liabilities. Accordingly, these acquired
assets and liabilities contributed to the growth in total assets and liabilities
of the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The Company's nine
months results include results of operations from Eastern American Bank for the
nine months ended September 30, 1998.

      Total assets at September 30, 1998 were $231,474, up 10.6% from $209,330
at December 31, 1997, reflecting growth in loans. The principal components of
the Company's assets at the end of the period were $10,846 in securities,
$13,637 in cash and cash equivalents, $24,324 in funds advanced in settlement of
mortgage loans and $174,251 in net loans. During the nine month period, gross
loans increased 17.4% or $26,200. The Company's lending activities are a
principal source of income.

      Total liabilities at September 30, 1998 were $214,123, up from $193,728 at
December 31, 1997, with the increase almost entirely represented by $31,668 or
18.7% growth in deposits. Non-interest bearing demand deposits increased $6,544
or 56.9% and represented 20.7% of total deposit growth. The Company's deposits
are provided by individuals and businesses located within the communities served
as well as the national market.

<PAGE>

      Total shareholders' equity at September 30, 1998 was $17,351. At December
31, 1997, total shareholder's equity was $15,602.

      The Company had net income of $2,300 for the nine months ended September
30, 1998 compared with net income of $1,304 for the comparable period in 1997,
an increase of 76.4%. During the third quarter, net income increased to $803 or
59.6% over the same period in 1997.

      Profitability as measured by the Company's return on average assets (ROA)
was 1.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, down .2% from the same
period of 1997. A key indicator of performance, the return on average equity
(ROE) was 18.7% and 18.9% for September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

      Net interest income represents a principal source of earnings for the
Company. The first component is the loan portfolio. Making sound loans that will
increase the Company's net interest margin is the first priority of management.
The second component is gathering core deposits to match fund the loan
production. The Company also uses electronic funding of deposits and Federal
Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances to fund loan growth either for asset and
liability management purposes or for a less expensive source of funds.

      Net interest income, before provision for loan losses, increased from
$3,459 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 to $6,342 for the same
period in 1998. During the third quarter, net interest income increased from
$1,239 in 1997 to $2,086 in 1998.

      Non-interest income increased from $3,049 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 to $6,349 for the same period in 1998. During the third
quarter, non-interest income increased from $1,303 in 1997 to $1,710 in 1998.
This increase was primarily from income derived from mortgage banking
operations. The general decline in interest rates, which began in 1995 and
continued through the third quarter of 1998, was a factor in the increase of
mortgage banking income. For the nine months ended September 30, 1998, the
Company had an increase in mortgage banking income of 102.9% or $2,913 to $5,744
over the same period of 1997. During the third quarter of 1998, mortgage banking
income increased 17.6% or $217 to $1,447 over the same period in 1997. Because
of the uncertainty of future loan origination volume and the future level of
interest rates, there can be no assurance that the Company will realize the same
level of mortgage banking income in future periods. Other non-interest income
consists of service charges. This increase of 186.1% to $595 for the period
ended September 30, 1998 was primarily attributable to service charges on
deposit accounts which increased with the addition of Eastern American.

      For the nine months ended September 30, 1998, the Company had an increase
in non-interest expense of $4,583 or 103.7% over the same period in 1997. During
the third quarter of 1998, non-interest expense increased $824 or 48.2% over the
same period in 1997. All areas of non-interest expense were affected by the
increased volume in the mortgage banking operations and the merger with Eastern
American. The largest component of non-interest expense, salaries and employee
benefits which represents 58.4% of total non-interest expense, increased 84.7%
to $5,260 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 over the same period in
1997. Occupancy expense increased by 106.9% to $811, depreciation and equipment
maintenance increased by 81.3% to $580, stationery and office supplies increased
by 124.5% to $229, marketing and business development increased by 93.4% to $263
and outside computer services increased by 190.7% to $439 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1998 over the same period in 1997.

<PAGE>

      Funds are advanced in settlement of mortgage loans originated on behalf of
investor banks. Mortgage banking income is recognized when the related mortgage
is transferred to the investor bank. Based on the increased volume, market
conditions and the changes thereto that could prompt potential losses,
management made a provision for funds advanced of $265 during the nine months
ended September 30, 1998 and had no such provision during the same period of
1997.

      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,
management emphasizes the borrower's ability to service the debt, the borrower's
general creditworthiness and the quality of collateral. The allowance for loan
losses as a percentage of quarter-end loans at September 30 was 1.4% and 1.2%
for 1998 and 1997, respectively. A provision for loan losses of $150 and $113
was provided during the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.

      While the Company believes it has sufficient allowance for its existing
portfolio, there can be no assurances that an additional allowance for losses on
existing loans may not be necessary in the future, particularly if the economy
worsens.

      At September 30, 1998, the Company had $711 in non-accrual loans and
$1,203 of loans past due 90 days or more that are still accruing. Management
believes losses, if any, will be minimal, although no assurance can be given in
this regard. Loans are generally placed in nonaccrual status when the collection
of principal and interest is 90 days or more past due, unless the obligation is
both well-secured and in the process of collection.

<PAGE>

      Liquidity represents the institution's ability to meet present and future
financial obligations. Liquid assets include cash, interest bearing deposits
with banks, federal funds sold, investments and loans maturing within one year.
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. Federal Home Loan Bank
("FHLB") advances are utilized as funding sources by the Company. At September
30, 1998, there were $9,300 in FHLB advances outstanding. At September 30, 1997,
$13,500 in advances were outstanding. The Company has a warehouse line of credit
collateralized by first mortgage loans amounting to $50,000 which expires
December 2, 1998. Also available is a variable rate line of credit on which the
Company may borrow up to $13,200. This arrangement expires November 3, 1998, and
can be prepaid at anytime by the Company. The Company has no reason to believe
these arrangements will not be renewed. The Bank had no outstanding warehouse
advances at September 30, 1998 and 1997. At September 30, 1998, $9,300 was
outstanding in other advances. At September 30, 1997, $13,500 was outstanding in
other advances. Federal funds sold to correspondent institutions were $1,900 on
September 30, 1998 and $4,140 at September 30, 1997.

      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 short-term
interest bearing certificates of deposits, federal funds sold, and a portfolio
of debt securities. The Company also structures and monitors the flow of funds
from debt securities and from maturing loans. As securities are generally
purchased to provide a source of liquidity, most are classified as securities
available-for-sale when purchased. 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 primarily of governmental or quasi-governmental
agencies.

      The Company's financial position at September 30, 1998 reflects liquidity
and capital levels currently adequate to fund anticipated future business
expansion. Capital ratios are in excess of required regulatory minimums for a
well capitalized institution. The assessment of capital adequacy depends on a
number of factors such as asset quality, liquidity, earnings performance, and
changing competitive conditions and economic forces. The adequacy of the
Company's capital is reviewed by management on an ongoing basis. Management
seeks to maintain a capital structure that will assure an adequate level of
capital to support anticipated asset growth and to absorb potential losses.

      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
September 30, 1998.
                                     Required Ratio             Actual Ratio

            Tier 1 risk-based       4.00%                           8.24%

            Total risk-based        8.00%                           9.45%

            Tier 1 leverage         4.00 to 5.00%                   7.12%

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

      The effect of changing prices on financial institutions is typically
different from other industries as the Company's assets and liabilities are
monetary in nature. Interest rates are significantly impacted by inflation, but
neither the timing nor the magnitude of the changes are directly related to
price level indices. Impacts of inflation on interest rates, loan demand and
deposits are reflected in the financial statements. The mortgage banking
operations provide somewhat of a natural interest rate hedge, in that the
Company is interest rate sensitive in the six-month period. When interest rates
decline, the Company's earnings will be negatively impacted in the six-month
period but the mortgage operation's volume will increase. The reverse will
happen in rising interest rate markets.

Year 2000 Issue

      Many existing computer programs use only two digits to identify a year in
the date field. These programs were designed and developed without considering
the impact of the upcoming change in the century. If not corrected, many
computer applications could fail or create erroneous results by or at the Year
2000. The Year 2000 issue affects virtually all companies and organizations.

      Since August, 1996, the Company has been in compliance with Federal
Reserve and Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC)
guidelines for resolution of the Year 2000 issue. The phases outlined by the
regulators are assessment, renovation, validation, and implementation.
Assessment includes establishing an action plan, risk ratings and inventories of
hardware, applications and communications as well as any additional systems that
impact the ability to do business. For system or piece of equipment defined as
critical to the Company's ability to do business, the Company must have a
contingency plan which is subject to the same guidelines from the regulators.
Renovation is fixing systems or applications that have Year 2000 issues as well
as upgrading or replacing hardware. Validation includes testing the systems,
applications and hardware to be certain that they are Year 2000 compliant.
Implementation of the tested compliant systems is the final step in the process,
which includes integrating applications to be certain they will run together as
well as separately.

      Inventory and assessment of all Information Technology Systems is
complete. The Company has no propriety or in-house developed systems or
software, so Non-Information Technology Systems which affect the Company are
limited to infrastructure and communications. All systems have been inventoried,
assessed and the vendors contacted for Y2K information. Testing is under way or
complete on all critical systems. Year 2000 compliance is part of the decision
making process for new purchases, contracts and upgrades.

      The Company changed data processors in late 1997 and is processed by a
Service Bureau which houses and maintains all hardware, software and backups
applicable to updating and maintaining the Company's customer and financial
records. Because this is the area of greatest risk to the Company, this
arrangement means the Company must carefully oversee the efforts of the vendor
to ensure Year 2000 compliance is complete and timely. The data processor's
service bureau and business partners which supply software and auxiliary
products have been renovated and tested satisfactory by outside auditors. The
data processor has supplied a series of reports of their progress, and, most
recently a copy of their Year 2000 audit. Implementation of the tested systems
will take place through a series of software upgrades through first quarter 1999
which management believes will help to identify and correct problems well before
the final deadline.

      Other major vendor relationships provide hardware and software which
provide network communications with the data processor as well as remote bank
locations. Hardware in all bank locations has been tested and a sampling will be
re-tested for validation by another vendor by the end of 1998. Operating systems
software was tested, upgraded if necessary with vendor supplied patches, and
tested in conjunction with the hardware tests. Bank ATM's are in the process of
being scheduled for renovation by the vendor.

<PAGE>

      The Company's Year 2000 project is currently on schedule and costs
directly attributable to the Year 2000 project have not been substantial to date
due to the fact that the change in data processors and the acquisition of a bank
in late 1997 required a complete upgrade of all desktop computer systems and
servers. Year 2000 compliance was an important part of all purchases and any
known issues were corrected. However, future costs of testing by outside vendors
may exceed $100 thousand based on the best estimates available as of this date.
These funds will be financed internally.

      Because the Company had a detailed Business Continuation Plan before the
Year 2000 Project began, various potential business interruptions and
alternatives were already documented which would permit a short term continuance
as long as the data processor preserves the ability to update records. Loss of
the data processor is the greatest risk to the Company and a contingency plan
under these circumstances is difficult to put in place because of the time
required to change data processors. For this reason, the Year 2000 compliance of
all data processing companies is being strictly monitored by outside auditors
and regulators and the Company is receiving regular reports regarding their
progress. Since the Company's Year 2000 issues produce exposure which could
result in an adverse impact on the Company's earnings, management intends to
review these progress reports carefully as well as monitor the system as the
millennium gets closer and forward dates begin to reflect the new century.
