-i- PART I ITEM 1. BUSINESS. Overview Century Bancshares, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Company") and a registered bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended ("BHCA"), was incorporated and organized in 1985. The Company began active operations in 1986 with the acquisition of its subsidiary, Century National Bank ("Bank"), a full service bank which opened for business in 1982. The Bank provides a broad line of financial products and services to small and medium sized businesses and consumers, through its main office located at 1875 Eye Street, N.W., Washington, DC, a branch office located at 1275 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., two branch offices in Northern Virginia at 8251 Greensboro Drive and 6832 Old Dominion Drive, McLean, Virginia, and a branch office at 7625 Wisconsin Avenue, Bethesda, Maryland. Lending services are concentrated in professional, service, and commercial business sectors located in the metropolitan Washington, DC area. The Company's principal executive offices are located at 1275 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, DC 20004, and its phone number at that address is (202) 496-4100. The Company derives substantially all of its revenues and income from the operation of the Bank, which provides a full range of commercial and consumer banking services to small and middle market businesses and individuals in the Washington, DC metropolitan area. As of December 31, 1998, the Company had total assets of $151.3 million, total loans of $115.2 million, total deposits of $126.2 million, and total stockholders' equity of $15.3 million. At December 31, 1998, the Company had approximately 1,000 shareholders of the Company's common stock, par value $1.00 per share ("Common Stock"). Company Operations General. The Company holds deposits for individuals, businesses, and other organizations, and provides certain services related thereto for the convenience of its depositors. In most cases, the Company pays interest on funds which it holds on deposit for customers, and it also charges fees for certain services that it provides. The interest expense paid on deposits, and the noninterest income earned from service charges, are primarily related to the volume of deposits handled by the Company. The Company's primary source of revenue is the interest income and fees which it earns by lending and investing the funds which are held on deposit. Because loans generally earn higher rates of interest than investments, the Company seeks to employ as much of its deposit funds as possible in the form of loans to individuals, businesses and other organizations. In the interest of liquidity, however, a portion of the Company's deposits are maintained in cash, government securities, deposits with other financial institutions, and overnight loans of excess reserves (known as "federal funds sold") to large correspondent banks. The revenue which the Company earns (prior to deducting its overhead expenses) is essentially a function of the amount of the Company's loans and deposits, as well as the profit margin and fee income which can be generated thereon. The operating income and net income of the Company depend to a great extent on "rate differentials," the difference between the income received from loans, investments and other assets and the interest paid on deposits and other liabilities. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." These rates are highly sensitive to many factors which are beyond the control of the Company, including general economic conditions such as inflation, recession and unemployment, the supply and demand for investable funds, interest rates and international economic conditions, as well as economic conditions affecting the Washington, DC metropolitan area. Consequently, the Company's success is dependent to a significant extent upon general economic conditions in the metropolitan Washington, DC area, which is dependent, among other things, on new business formations, spending by government agencies and tourism. An economic downturn in the geographic markets served by the Company could adversely affect its ability to attract and retain deposits and to collect loans, the value of any collateral securing such loans, and the financial condition and results of operations of the Company. -1- Measures of Performance. The principal measures of the performance of banking institutions are return on average equity and return on average assets. Return on average equity ("ROE") is determined by dividing annual net income by average stockholders' equity and indicates the effectiveness of an institution in generating net income from the capital invested by its stockholders. For the year ended December 31, 1998, the Company's ROE was 4.49%. Return on average assets ("ROA") measures net income in relation to total average assets and generally indicates an institution's ability to use its assets profitably. For the year ended December 31, 1998, the Company's ROA was 0.44%. Growth of Operations. The Company's current strategic plan is directed toward the enhancement of its franchise value and operating profitability through a significant increase in its asset size, the development of new commercial accounts and loans, and expansion into the nearby Maryland and Virginia markets. The Company plans to acquire or establish banking offices in high-density commercial districts, and may in some cases open a temporary loan production office ("LPO") prior to establishing a full service branch. The Company acquired its first branch office in downtown Washington, DC in 1994 and in 1996 established an LPO in Tysons Corner, Virginia, which was replaced by a full service branch in April 1997. In October 1997, the Company purchased a full-service branch in McLean, Virginia, from Eastern American Bank, FSB ("Eastern American"). In June 1997, the Company established an LPO in Bethesda, Maryland, which was replaced by a full service branch on January 5, 1998. The establishment of full service branches in Tysons Corner, Virginia and Bethesda, Maryland in April 1997 and January 1998, respectively, and the establishment of a full service branch in McLean, Virginia by means of the purchase of loans and certain other assets and assumption of the deposits and certain other liabilities of the branch of Eastern American in October 1997, has significantly affected the Company's results of operations during 1998 and 1997. The effects of these transactions should be considered when reviewing the financial information contained in this report. The Company believes that its franchise value and operating profitability would be enhanced by a significant increase in its asset size. For this reason, the Company in the past has explored, and expects to continue to explore in the future, merger and acquisition opportunities which would accelerate the Company's progress toward the achievement of its strategic plan, including transactions in which the Company would be acquired. There can be no assurance that any such merger and acquisition opportunities will be realized in the future. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in implementing any of the future plans described herein or that, even if implemented, such actions will produce the desired financial results. The foregoing strategy should be taken into account, however, when considering the more specific discussion of the Company's financial performance set forth herein. Competition The Company is subject to vigorous competition in all aspects and areas of its business from banks and other financial institutions, including savings and loan associations, savings banks, finance companies, credit unions and other providers of financial services, such as mutual funds, brokerage firms, consumer finance companies and insurance companies. The Company also competes with non-financial institutions that maintain their own credit programs and governmental agencies that make available low cost or guaranteed loans to certain borrowers. The principal methods of competition include interest rates paid on deposits and charged on loans and the availability of other banking products and services. The Company competes in its market area with a number of much larger financial institutions that have substantially greater resources, including larger lending limits, larger branch systems and a wider array of commercial banking services. The Company believes that it has been able to compete effectively with other financial institutions by emphasizing customer services, establishing long-term customer relationships and building customer loyalty, and by providing products and services designed to address the specific needs of its customers. -2- Regulatory Matters In addition to the state and federal laws applicable to business and employers generally, the Company and Bank are further regulated by special federal and state laws and regulations applicable only to financial institutions and their parent companies. Virtually all aspects of the operations of the Company and the Bank are subject to specific requirements or restrictions and general regulatory oversight, from laws regulating consumer finance transactions, such as the Truth in Lending Act, the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act and the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, to laws regulating collections and confidentiality, such as the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Right to Financial Privacy Act. With few exceptions, state and federal banking laws have as their principal objective either the maintenance of the safety and soundness of financial institutions and the federal deposit insurance system or the protection of consumers or classes of consumers, rather than the specific protection of stockholders of the Company. The following discussion sets forth the material statutory and regulatory provisions governing the Company and the Bank. To the extent such discussion describes statutory or regulatory provisions, it is qualified in its entirety by reference to the particular statute or regulation. Regulation of the Company. The Company is a bank holding company within the meaning of the BHCA, and therefore is subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the Federal Reserve Board. The Company is required to file reports with and to furnish such other information as the Federal Reserve Board may require pursuant to the BHCA. The Federal Reserve Board has the authority to issue orders to bank holding companies to cease and desist from unsound banking practices and violations of conditions imposed by, or violations of agreements with, the Federal Reserve Board. The Federal Reserve Board is also empowered to assess civil money penalties against companies or individuals who violate the BHCA or orders or regulations thereunder, to order termination of non-banking activities of non-banking subsidiaries of bank holding companies, and to order termination of ownership and control of a non-banking subsidiary by a bank holding company. Certain violations may also result in criminal penalties. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC") is authorized to exercise comparable authority with respect to the Bank. The Federal Reserve Board takes the position that a bank holding company is required to serve as a source of financial and managerial strength to its subsidiary banks and may not conduct its operations in an unsafe or unsound manner. Additionally, it is the Federal Reserve Board's position that, in serving as a source of strength to its subsidiary banks, a bank holding company should stand ready to use available resources to provide adequate capital to its subsidiary banks during periods of financial stress or adversity and should maintain the financial flexibility and capital-raising capacity to obtain additional resources for assisting its subsidiary banks. If a bank holding company fails in its obligations to serve as a source of strength to its subsidiary banks, the Federal Reserve Board will generally consider such action to be an unsafe and unsound banking practice or a violation of the Federal Reserve Board regulations or both. This doctrine has become known as the "source of strength" doctrine. In addition, statutory changes in the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (the "FDIA") made by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA") now require the holding company parent of an undercapitalized bank to guarantee, up to certain limits, the bank's compliance with a capital restoration plan approved by the bank's primary federal supervisory agency. The BHCA and the Change in Bank Control Act, together with regulations promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board, require that, depending on the particular circumstances, either Federal Reserve Board approval must be obtained or notice must be furnished to the Federal Reserve Board and not disapproved prior to any person or company acquiring "control" of a bank holding company, such as the Company, subject to certain exemptions for certain transactions. Control is conclusively presumed to exist if an individual or company acquires 25% or more of any class of voting securities of the bank holding company. Control is rebuttably presumed to exist if a person acquires 10% or more but less than 25% of any class of voting securities and either the company has securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or no other person will own a greater percentage of that class of voting securities immediately after the transaction. The regulations provide a procedure for challenge of the rebuttable control presumption. -3- As a bank holding company, the Company is required to obtain prior approval to merge or consolidate with any other bank holding company, acquire all or substantially all of the assets of any bank or acquire ownership or control of shares of a bank or bank holding company if, after the acquisition, the Company would directly or indirectly own or control 5% or more of the voting shares of such bank or bank holding company. The Company is also prohibited from acquiring a direct or indirect interest in or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any company that is not a bank or bank holding company and from engaging directly or indirectly in activities other than those of banking, managing or controlling banks or furnishing services to its subsidiary banks, except that it may engage in and may own shares of companies engaged in certain activities found by the Federal Reserve Board to be so closely related to banking or managing and controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto. These activities include, among others, operating a mortgage, finance, credit card, or factoring company; performing certain data processing operations; providing investment and financial advice; acting as an insurance agent for certain types of credit-related insurance; leasing personal property on a full-payout, non-operating basis; providing certain stock brokerage and investment advisory services; derivatives trading and investment activities; and management consulting activities. In approving acquisitions or the addition of activities, the Federal Reserve Board considers whether the acquisition or the additional activities can reasonably be expected to produce benefits to the public, such as greater convenience, increased competition, or gains in efficiency, that outweigh such possible adverse effects as undue concentration of resources, decreased or unfair competition, conflicts of interest or unsound banking practices. In considering any application for approval or an acquisition or merger, the Federal Reserve Board is also required to consider the financial and managerial resources of the companies and the banks concerned, as well as the applicant's record of compliance with the Community Reinvestment Act (the "CRA"). The BHCA generally imposes certain limitations on transactions by and between banks and non-bank companies in the same holding company structure, including limitations on extensions of credit (including guarantees of loans) by the Bank to affiliates, investments in the stock or other securities of the Company by the Bank, and the nature and amount of Company securities that the Bank may accept from any affiliate to secure loans extended to the affiliate. The Company, as an affiliate of the Bank, is also subject to these restrictions. Under the BHCA and the Federal Reserve Board's regulations, a bank holding company and its subsidiaries are prohibited from engaging in certain tie-in arrangements in connection with any extension of credit, lease or sale of property or furnishing of services. Regulation of the Bank. The Bank is a national banking association and is therefore subject to regulation, supervision, and examination by the OCC. The Bank is also a member of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). Requirements and restrictions under the laws of the United States include the requirement that reserves be maintained against deposits, restrictions on the nature and the amount of loans that can be made, restrictions on the business activities in which a bank may engage, restrictions on the payment of dividends to stockholders, and minimum capital requirements. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." The OCC has enforcement authority over the Bank that is similar to that of the Federal Reserve Board with respect to the Company. In addition, upon making certain determinations with respect to the condition of any insured national bank, such as the Bank, the FDIC may initiate the termination of a bank's federal deposit insurance. There are certain statutory limitations on the payment of dividends by national banks. Without approval of the OCC, dividends may not be paid in excess of a bank's total net profits for that year, plus the bank's profits for the preceding two years, less any required transfers to capital surplus. However, a national bank may not pay dividends in excess of total retained profits, including current year's income. In some cases, the OCC may find a dividend payment that meets these statutory requirements to be an unsafe or unsound practice. Banks are affected by the credit policies of other monetary authorities, including the Federal Reserve Board, which affect the national supply of bank credit. Such policies influence overall growth of bank loans, investments, and deposits and may also affect interest rates charged on loans and paid on deposits. The monetary policies of the Federal Reserve Board have had a significant effect on the operating results of commercial banks in the past and are expected to continue to do so in the future. -4- FDICIA requires the OCC to take "prompt corrective action" with respect to any national bank which does not meet specified minimum capital requirements. The applicable regulations establish five capital levels, ranging from "well capitalized" to "critically undercapitalized," which require or permit the OCC to take supervisory action. Under these regulations, a national bank is considered well capitalized if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of 10.0% or greater, a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 6.0% or greater, and a leverage ratio of 5.0% or greater, and it is not subject to an order, written agreement, capital directive, or prompt corrective action directive to meet and maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure. A national bank is considered adequately capitalized if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0% or greater, a Tier I risk-based capital ratio and leverage capital ratio of 4.0% or greater (or a leverage ratio of 3.0% or greater if the institution is rated composite 1 in its most recent report of examination, subject to appropriate federal banking agency guidelines), and the institution does not meet the definition of an undercapitalized institution. A national bank is considered undercapitalized if it has a total risk-based capital ratio that is less than 8.0%, a Tier I risk-based capital ratio that is less than 4.0%, or a leverage ratio that is less than 4.0%. A significantly undercapitalized institution is one which has a total risk-based capital ratio that is less than 6.0%, a Tier I risk-based capital ratio that is less than 3.0%, or a leverage ratio that is less than 3.0%. A critically undercapitalized institution is one which has a ratio of tangible equity to total assets that is equal to or less than 2.0%. As of December 31, 1998, the Bank was classified as "well-capitalized." The OCC is authorized by the legislation to take various enforcement actions against any undercapitalized national bank and any national bank that fails to submit an acceptable capital restoration plan or fails to implement a plan accepted by the OCC. These powers include, among other things, requiring the institution to be recapitalized, prohibiting asset growth, restricting interest rates paid, requiring prior approval of capital distributions by any bank holding company that controls the institution, requiring divestiture by the institution of its subsidiaries or by the holding company of the institution itself, requiring new election of directors, and requiring the dismissal of directors and officers. With certain exceptions, national banks are prohibited from making capital distributions or paying management fees if the payment of such distributions or fees will cause them to become undercapitalized. Furthermore, undercapitalized national banks are required to file capital restoration plans with the OCC. Undercapitalized national banks also are subject to restrictions on growth, acquisitions, branching and engaging in new lines of business unless they have an approved capital plan that permits otherwise. The OCC also may, among other things, require an undercapitalized national bank to issue shares or obligations, which could be voting stock, to recapitalize the institution or, under certain circumstances, to divest itself of any subsidiary. Significantly and critically undercapitalized national banks may be subject to more extensive control and supervision. The OCC may prohibit any such institutions from, among other things, entering into any material transaction not in the ordinary course of business, amending their charter or bylaws, or engaging in certain transactions with affiliates. In addition, critically undercapitalized institutions generally will be prohibited from making payments of principal or interest on outstanding subordinated debt. Within 90 days of a national bank becoming critically undercapitalized, the OCC must appoint a receiver or conservator unless certain findings are made with respect to the prospect for the institution's continued viability. Recent Regulatory Developments. The Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 ("Interstate Banking Act") authorizes the Federal Reserve Board to permit adequately capitalized and adequately managed bank holding companies to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of an out-of-state bank after September 29, 1995, subject to deposit concentration limits, state law limits on the time period a target bank must be in existence and consideration of the acquiring bank's compliance with Federal and state community reinvestment laws. Thus, nationwide interstate banking became effective on September 29, 1995. The Interstate Banking Act also authorizes banking subsidiaries of bank holding companies to act as agent for depository institution affiliates in other states when receiving deposits, renewing time deposits, closing loans, servicing loans, or receiving payments on loans and other obligations; and the Interstate Banking Act expressly states that banks acting in an agency capacity are not branches. With respect to interstate branching by multi-state bank holding companies, states had two options - for the period from September 29, 1994 through June 1, 1997, states could enact legislation that either prohibited interstate merger transactions involving out-of-state banks ("opt-out") or permitted interstate merger transactions prior to June 1, 1997 ("opt-in"), so long as the law applied equally to all out-of-state banks. The Interstate Banking Act also contained provisions addressing branch retention in interstate merger transactions and de novo branching by out-of-state banks. Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia each adopted "opt-in" provisions that permitted de novo branching prior to June 1, 1997. -5- In addition, there are several pieces of legislation relevant to the banking industry that were recently enacted into law. On August 20, 1996, President Clinton signed the Small Business Job Protection Act (the "Jobs Act"). The Jobs Act contained several provisions that affect the banking industry. First, the most significant part of the Jobs Act removed the prohibition against banks, savings and loans and bank holding companies electing to be treated as S corporations. This change is effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 1996. Second, the Jobs Act gave qualifying savings associations a tax break when they change their method of accounting for bad debt reserves. This change will save the thrift industry approximately $3 billion in tax liability and will facilitate the conversion of savings associations into banks. Finally, the Jobs Act increased the IRA deduction from $250 to $2,000 per year for a spouse that does not work outside the home, subject to income eligibility limits. On September 30, 1996, President Clinton signed the Economic Growth and Regulatory Paperwork Reduction Act of 1996 (the "Growth Act"), which contained a comprehensive approach to recapitalize the FDIC's Savings Association Insurance Fund and to assure payment of the Financing Corporation ("FICO") obligations. Most of the Bank's deposits are insured by the FDIC's Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF"). Under the Growth Act, banks insured under the BIF are required to pay a portion of the interest due on bonds that were issued by FICO in 1987 to help shore up the ailing Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation. The amount of FICO debt service to be paid by all BIF-insured institutions is approximately $320,343,000 per year from 1997 through the year 1999 when the obligation of BIF-insured institutions increases to approximately $598,500,000 per year through the year 2019. The Bank's FICO assessment was $2,000 per year for 1997 and 1996. The Growth Act also contained provisions protecting banks from liability for environmental clean-up costs; prohibiting credit unions sponsored by Farm Credit System banks; easing application requirements for most bank holding companies when they acquire a thrift or a permissible nonbank operation; easing Fair Credit Reporting Act restrictions between bank holding company affiliates; and reducing regulatory burden under the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, the Truth-in-Savings Act, the Truth-in-Lending Act, and the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act. The Bank acquired the deposits of a savings and loan branch in 1994 and another in 1997. These so-called "Oakar deposits" are insured under the FDIC's Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"). Pursuant to a rule promulgated by the FDIC on October 8, 1996, all institutions holding SAIF insured deposits were charged a one-time special assessment of 65.7 cents per $100 of SAIF insured deposits on November 27, 1996. The FDIC has also promulgated a final rule regarding the amount of premiums payable as of January 1, 1997 by institutions holding SAIF-insured deposits. See Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional disclosure. Various bills which would affect the operations of commercial banks and other financial institutions are introduced periodically in Congress. In early 1998, although a compromise was announced regarding conflicting legislation that was pending in the House of Representatives for the modernization of the financial services industry, that legislation was not enacted, but similar bills are now being considered in the current session of Congress. The likelihood of passage of such legislation, the manner of implementation, or the impact on the Company and the Bank is unknown. The policies of regulatory authorities, including the monetary policy of the Federal Reserve Board, have a significant effect on the operating results of bank holding companies and their subsidiaries. Among the means available to the Federal Reserve Board to affect the money supply are open market operations in U.S. Government securities, changes in the discount rate on member bank borrowings, and changes in reserve requirements against member bank deposits. These means are used in varying combinations to influence overall growth and distribution of bank loans, investment and deposits, and their use may affect interest rates charged on loans or paid for deposits. Federal Reserve Board monetary policies have materially affected the operating results of commercial banks in the past and are expected to continue to do so in the future. The nature of future monetary policies and the effect of such policies on the business and income of the Company and the Bank cannot be predicted. Employees At December 31, 1998, the Company had 54 employees. -6- ITEM 2. PROPERTIES. The Company's principal executive offices and all of its banking offices are leased under agreements expiring at various dates, including renewal options, through 2012. The Company's principal executive offices, which are located in the District of Columbia at 1275 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., also serve as a branch location of the Bank. The premises at 1275 Pennsylvania Avenue consist of 2,750 square feet which are under lease through 2004, with one additional five-year renewal option. The lease for the Bank's main office, located in the District at 1875 Eye Street, N.W., extends through 2002, with two additional five-year renewal options. The lease for the main office includes 3,895 square feet of lobby space, 5,286 square feet of Metro-level basement space and space for an Automatic Teller Machine ("ATM") in the adjacent International Square food court. The Company's branch office in Tysons Corner is located at 8251 Greensboro Drive, McLean, Virginia and consists of 1,801 square feet of space held under lease through March 31, 2004. In connection with the acquisition of the McLean branch in the fourth quarter of 1997 (see Note 15 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information) , the Bank assumed Eastern American Bank's lease for the branch location at 6832 Old Dominion Drive, McLean, Virginia. The branch premises consist of 2,077 square feet which are under lease through September 30, 2003, with one additional five-year renewal option. In 1997, the Company established a LPO in Bethesda, Maryland. That office was closed in January 1998 in connection with the establishment of a new branch location at 7625 Wisconsin Avenue, Bethesda, Maryland. The Bethesda branch location is in the vicinity of Wisconsin Avenue and Old Georgetown Road. The branch premises consist of 2,022 square feet leased through January 2008. See Note 11 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information concerning the Company's commitments under its lease agreements. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. The nature of the business of the Company causes it (and the Bank) to be involved in routine legal proceedings from time to time. Management of the Company believes that there are no pending or threatened legal proceedings that upon resolution would have a material adverse impact on the Company. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS. There were no matters submitted to a vote of security holders of the Company during the quarter ended December 31, 1998. -7- PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS. The Company's Common Stock currently trades on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market under the symbol "CTRY." Continued inclusion of the Common Stock for quotation on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market requires that the Company satisfy a minimum tangible net worth or net income standard, and that the Common Stock satisfy minimum standards as to public float, bid price and market makers. There can be no assurance, however, that an active public market can be sustained. As of March 23, 1999, there were approximately 1,000 shareholders. Prior to a common stock offering in the fourth quarter of 1997 (see Notes 8 and 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information), there was no established public trading market in the Company's Common Stock, with only limited and sporadic quotations available for shares of the Common Stock in the Washington, DC area.. Based on information available to the Company from a limited number of sellers and purchasers of Common Stock prior to the 1997 offering, transactions in shares of Common Stock from January 1, 1997 through September 23, 1997, took place at prices ranging from a low of $6.25 to a high of $8.50, with a range from $5.50 to $8.00 during 1996. Price information for transactions reflects inter-dealer prices, exclusive of retail mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not necessarily represent actual transactions. From the inception of trading in the Nasdaq SmallCap Market on September 23, 1997 (conclusion of 1997 stock offering) through December 31, 1998, the high, low and closing sale prices for the Common Stock ranged from $6.00 to $11.07, as shown by the following table:
Market Price ---------------------------------------- Quarter ended High Low Last ------------------------------ -------------- ------------ ------------ December 31, 1997 $ 10.75 $ 8.13 $10.11 March 31, 1998 11.07 9.40 10.36 June 30, 1998 10.60 9.00 9.50 September 30, 1998 10.50 8.25 8.50 December 31, 1998 9.00 6.00 6.75
The Company has not paid cash dividends on its shares of Common Stock to date and has no present intention to do so in the foreseeable future. The declaration and payment of future cash dividends will depend on, among other things, the Company's earnings, the general economic and regulatory climate, the Company's liquidity and capital requirements, and other factors deemed relevant by the Company's Board of Directors. The Company's ability to pay dividends depends mostly upon the dividends received from the Bank. Dividends from the Bank to the Company are restricted to the extent that no portion of the Bank's capital stock or capital surplus may be withdrawn for the payment of dividends. In addition, no dividends may be paid by the bank in an amount greater than the net retained profits then on hand, less certain deductions for bad debts. Approval by the OCC is required prior to the payment of dividends by the Bank if the total of all dividends, including the proposed dividend, declared in any given calendar year exceeds the Bank's net profits for that year combined with its retained net profits for the preceding two years. Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, an insured bank is prohibited from paying dividends on its capital stock while in default on payment of any assessment due to the FDIC, except in those cases where the amount of the assessment is in dispute and the insured bank has deposited satisfactory security. The Bank has timely paid all such notices of assessment. In addition, banks are prohibited from paying dividends if such dividends would cause them to be less than "adequately capitalized," as defined by the Federal banking agencies. -8- Given the foregoing restrictions, and the Company's present intention to accumulate retained earnings to support the Company's future growth, it is unlikely that the Company will pay cash dividends with respect to the Common Stock for the foreseeable future. The Company has declared stock dividends from time to time in the past, but has not adopted a policy with respect to future stock dividends. The most recent stock dividend declared by the Company was a 5% stock dividend declared on May 19, 1998, payable on June 29, 1998, to holders of record of shares of Common Stock as of May 29, 1998. The declaration of future stock dividends is at the discretion of the Board of Directors. ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA.

(2) Book value per common share is based on common equity (see footnote (6) below) divided by the number of common shares outstanding. (3) Investments include federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions. (4) Net of unearned income. (5) Preferred equity is calculated based on liquidation value of $7.50 per share of Preferred Stock. All shares of Preferred Stock outstanding as of October 17, 1995 were redeemed by the Company on December 10, 1995. (6) Common equity is total stockholders' equity less preferred equity. -10- ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Century Bancshares, Inc. ("Company"), which analyzes the major elements of the Company's consolidated statements of operations and financial condition, should be read in conjunction with the detailed information and consolidated financial statements, and the notes related thereto, included elsewhere herein. References to the operations of the Company include the operations of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Century National Bank ("Bank"), unless the context otherwise requires. General The Company derives substantially all of its revenues and income from the operation of the Bank, which provides a full range of commercial and consumer banking services to individuals, small and middle market businesses, and other organizations in the Washington, DC metropolitan area. As of December 31, 1998, the Company had total assets of $151.3 million, total loans of $115.2 million, total deposits of $126.2 million, and total stockholders' equity of $15.3 million. The Company had net income of $637,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998, resulting in a return on equity of 4.49% and a return on assets of 0.44%. The Company's current strategic plan is directed toward the enhancement of its franchise value and operating profitability through a significant increase in its asset size, the development of new commercial accounts and loans, and continued expansion into the nearby Maryland and Virginia markets. The Company plans to acquire or establish banking offices in high-density commercial districts, and may in some cases open a temporary LPO prior to establishing a full service branch. The Bank acquired its first branch office in downtown Washington, DC in 1994 and in 1996 established a LPO in Tysons Corner, Virginia, which was replaced by a full service branch in April 1997. On October 10, 1997, the Company completed the purchase and assumption of the deposits and certain other liabilities of the branch of Eastern American located at 6832 Old Dominion Drive, McLean, Virginia. Also, in 1997 the bank established a LPO in Bethesda, Maryland, which was replaced by a full-service branch in January 1998. These transactions significantly affected the Company's operations during 1998, 1997 and 1996, and their effects should be considered when reviewing the discussion of the Company's financial condition and results of operations set forth below. In this report, all "per share" amounts have been adjusted to give effect to the Company's five percent stock dividends which were distributed to stockholders of record as of May 29, 1998 and May 7, 1997, a seven percent stock dividend which was distributed to stockholders of record as of March 31, 1996, and a five percent stock dividend which was distributed to stockholders of record as of March 31, 1995. Results of Operations Net Income Net income was $637,000 ($0.26 per diluted common share) for 1998, compared with net income of $336,000 ($0.20 per diluted common share) for 1997, an increase of $301,000 or 89.6%. The increase in net income for 1998 compared with 1997 resulted principally from a $1.4 million increase in net interest income and a $181,000 increase in noninterest income. These increases were the result of a 27.8% increase in average earning assets and the addition of three new branch offices during the past two years (see "Properties" above). Partially offsetting these increases during 1998 were a corresponding increase in average interest-bearing liabilities of 23.6%, as well as increases in several noninterest expense categories from the establishment of the three new branch office locations, and a $284,000 increase in the provision for credit losses the result of increased reserves in relation to loan portfolio growth during the year. -11- Net income was $336,000 ($0.20 per diluted common share) for 1997, compared with net income of $279,000 ($0.21 per diluted common share) for 1996, an increase of $57,000 or 20.4%. The increase in net income for 1997 compared with 1996 resulted principally from a $530,000 increase in net interest income and a $202,000 increase in noninterest income between the years. These increases are attributed to a 23.2% increase in average earning assets and the addition of new branch offices during the year. Partially offsetting these increases during 1997 was an increase in average interest-bearing liabilities of 23.2%, as well as increases in several noninterest expense categories from the establishment of new branch office locations during the year. Additionally, a $176,000 increase in the provision for credit losses also partially offset increases in net interest income and noninterest income in 1997, the result of increased reserves in relation to loan portfolio growth during the year. Net Interest Income Net interest income was $6,818,000 for 1998, an increase of $1,374,000 or 25.2% compared with net interest income of $5,444,000 for 1997. The Company's average total interest-earning assets increased to $134.6 million for 1998 from $105.3 million for 1997, representing a 27.8% increase between the years. The net interest margin of 5.07% for 1998 decreased 10 basis points from 5.17% for 1997, the result of 0.31% decline in the average yield on interest earning assets that was only partially offset by an 0.11% decline in the cost of interest bearing liabilities. Net interest income was $5,444,000 for 1997, an increase of $530,000 or 10.8% compared with net interest income of $4,914,000 for 1996. The Company's average total interest-earning assets increased from $85.5 million for 1996 to $105.3 million for 1997, representing a 23.2% increase between the years. The net interest margin of 5.17% for 1997 decreased 57 basis points from 5.74% for 1996, the result of reduced growth in average loans and increases in lower yielding securities and deposits with banks from funds received from the 1997 acquisition of the Virginia branch. Changes in interest income and interest expense can result from changes in both volume and rate. The Company has an asset and liability management policy designed to provide a proper balance between rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive liabilities, to attempt to maximize interest margins and to provide adequate liquidity for anticipated needs. The table below sets forth for the periods indicated a summary of the changes in interest earned and interest paid resulting from changes in volume and rate. The table on the following page sets forth for each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the average amounts outstanding, the interest earned or paid on such amounts, and the average rate earned or paid for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996.

-13- Provision for Credit Losses Provisions for credit losses are charged to income to bring the total allowance for credit losses to a level deemed appropriate by management based on such factors as historical experience, the volume and type of lending conducted by the Company, the amount of nonperforming assets, regulatory policies, generally accepted accounting principles, general economic conditions, and other factors related to the collectibility of loans in the Company's portfolio. The provision for credit losses was $620,000 in 1998, compared with $336,000 for 1997, increasing $284,000, or 84.5%. The increase was largely the result of a 22.3% increase in loans, net of unearned income to $115.2 million at December 31, 1998 from $94.2 million at year-end 1997. Net charge-offs increased to $379,000 in 1998, from $275,000 in 1997, the result of a $289,000 increase in charge-offs in the commercial loan portfolios accompanied by reduced charge-offs in other loan categories. The provision for credit losses was $336,000 for 1997, compared with $160,000 for 1996, increasing $176,000, or 110.0%. The increase was the result of an increase in loans, net of unearned income from $70.7 million at year-end 1996 to $94.2 million at year-end 1997, or a 33.2% increase year-to-year. In addition, net charge-offs increased to $275,000 for 1997, from $74,000 in 1996, primarily the result of a $146,000 increase in net charge-offs in the installment and credit card loan portfolios. Management believes the allowance is adequate to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio. In view of the Company's plans to continue its loan growth with increased emphasis on commercial loans (which are generally considered to be more risky than loans secured by real estate), it is likely that the Company will continue to maintain an adequate allowance for credit losses through future provisions charged to income. Management will continue to closely monitor the performance of the loan portfolio and make additional provisions as considered necessary. No assurance can be given that such provisions will not have a material adverse impact on the Company's results of operations in future periods. Noninterest Income Noninterest income for 1998 was $1,103,000, an increase of $181,000 or 19.6% compared with noninterest income of $922,000 in 1997. This increase resulted largely from growth of the credit card program, increases in service charges on deposit accounts, as well as commissions and other fee income. Noninterest income in 1998 also included gains from the sale of investment securities ($15,000) and the liquidation of other real estate owned ($16,000). Noninterest income was $922,000 for 1997, compared with $720,000 for 1996, an increase of $202,000 or 28.1%. This increase was primarily the result of increased fee income from the Company's Mastercard/Visa credit card program, which increased $152,000, or 64.1% in 1997. In addition, commission and other fee income increased $54,000, or 110.2%, due to increased ATM transactions and other miscellaneous fee income in 1997. The following table sets forth the various categories of, and changes in, noninterest income for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996:
NONINTEREST INCOME (Dollars in Thousands) Year Ended December 31, ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1998 % Change 1997 % Change 1996 --------------- -------------- --------------- --------------- --------------- Service charges on deposit accounts $ 447 9.0 % $410 (1.4)% $416 Credit card and merchant fees 471 21.1 389 64.1 237 Commission and other fee income 134 30.1 103 110.2 49 Other income 51 155.0 20 11.1 18 --------------- -------------- --------------- --------------- --------------- Total noninterest income $1,103 19.6 % $922 28.1 % $720 --------------- -------------- --------------- --------------- ---------------
-14- Noninterest Expense Noninterest expense was $6,309,000 in 1998, compared with $5,460,000 in 1997, representing an increase of $849,000 or 15.5%. The increase in 1998 was attributable to increased occupancy and equipment expenses of $176,000, professional fees of $234,000, data processing services of $200,000 and other operating expenses of $197,000. These increases were primarily attributable to the opening of three new branch offices in Maryland and Virginia in 1997 and 1998, the corresponding growth in the loan portfolio, and efforts to prepare for and comply with Year 2000 readiness issues. Noninterest expense was $5,460,000 for 1997, compared with $4,920,000 for 1996, representing an increase of $540,000 or 11.0%. The increase from 1996 to 1997 was primarily attributable to increased personnel and occupancy-related expenses associated with the addition of two new branches in Virginia in 1997, and other increased expenses from the establishment of the Company's LPO in Maryland. The Company's noninterest expense has been consistently higher in relation to its asset size than the average for small community banks. The Company's strategy is to increase its asset size significantly so that its level of noninterest expense in relation to its assets is more in line with those of comparable institutions. No assurance may be given, however, that the anticipated asset growth or branch expansions will occur. The following table sets forth the various categories of, and changes in, noninterest expense for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996: NONINTEREST EXPENSE (Dollars in Thousands)

Income Tax Expense The Company's income tax expense includes federal, state and local income taxes. The provision for income taxes was $355 thousand in 1998 compared to $234 thousand in 1997 and $275 thousand in 1996. This reflects effective tax rates of 35.8 percent in 1998, 41.0 percent in 1997, and 49.6 percent in 1996. The higher effective rate in 1996 was primarily due to nondeductible expenses of $112,000 incurred in connection with the registration of shares of the Company's Common Stock, as well as other nondeductible expenses. The effective tax rate has been further reduced in 1998 due to the increase in interest income derived from US agency securities which are not fully taxable for state and local purposes, and a greater portion of earnings derived from Virginia and Maryland where the local income tax rates are lower than in Washington, DC. -15- Interest Rate Sensitivity and Management of Market Risk Net interest income, which constitutes one of the principal sources of income for the Company, represents the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities. The difference between the Company's interest-rate sensitive assets and interest-rate sensitive liabilities for a specified time-frame is referred to as an interest sensitive "gap." Interest rate sensitivity reflects the potential effect on net interest income of a movement in interest rates. A financial institution is considered to be asset sensitive, or having a positive gap, when the amount of its interest-earning assets maturing or repricing exceeds the amount of its interest-bearing liabilities also maturing or repricing within that time period. Conversely, a financial institution is considered to be liability sensitive, or having a negative gap, when the amount of its interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing exceeds the amount of its interest-earning assets. During a period of rising (falling) interest rates, a positive gap would tend to increase (decrease) net interest income, while a negative gap would tend to decrease (increase) net interest income. Management seeks to maintain a balanced interest rate risk position to protect its net interest margin from market fluctuations. Toward this end, the Company maintains an Asset/Liability Committee ("ALCO") which reviews, on a regular basis, the maturity and repricing of the assets and liabilities of the Company. ALCO has adopted the objective of achieving and maintaining a one-year cumulative GAP, as a percent of total assets, of between plus 10% and minus 10%. On a consolidated basis, the Company's one year cumulative gap was a negative 8.86% of total assets at December 31, 1998. In addition, ALCO monitors potential changes in net interest income, net income and the market value of portfolio equity under various interest rate scenarios. Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and rates, arising primarily from interest rate risk in the Company's loan and investment portfolios, which can significantly impact the Company's profitability. Net interest income can be adversely impacted where assets and liabilities do not react the same to changes in interest rates. At year-end 1998, the impact of an immediate increase in interest rates of 100 basis points and 200 basis points would have resulted in a decrease in net interest income over a 12-month period of 1.71% and 3.41%, respectively, with a comparable decrease in interest rates resulting in an increase in net interest income of 1.65% and 1.28%. Management finds the above methodologies meaningful for evaluating market risk sensitivity; however, other factors can affect net interest income, such as levels of non-earning assets and changes in portfolio composition. The following table sets forth the interest-rate sensitive assets and liabilities of the Company at December 31, 1998, which are expected to mature or are subject to repricing in each of the time periods indicated:

-16- Analysis of Financial Condition Loans The Company presently is, and in the future expects to remain, a middle market banking organization serving professionals and businesses with interests in and around the Washington, DC metropolitan area. As of December 31, 1998 and 1997, approximately $73.8 million (64 percent) and $56.6 million (60 percent) of the Company's total loan portfolio, respectively, consisted of loans secured by real estate, of which one-to-four-family residential mortgage loans and home equity lines of credit represented $34.9 million (30 percent) and $35.3 million (37 percent), respectively, of the Company's total loan portfolio. Loan concentrations are defined as aggregate credits extended to a number of borrowers engaged in similar activities or resident in the same geographic region, which would cause them to be similarly affected by economic or other conditions. The Company, on a routine basis, evaluates these concentrations for purposes of policing its concentrations and making necessary adjustments in its lending practices to reflect current economic conditions, loan to deposit ratios, and industry trends. As a result of the Company's existing branch locations, the Company has significant concentrations of customers and assets in the Washington, DC metropolitan area. The primary types of loans in the Company's portfolio are residential mortgages and home equity loans, commercial real estate loans, commercial loans, and consumer installment and credit card loans. Generally, the Company underwrites loans based upon the borrower's debt service capacity or cash flow, a consideration of past performance on loans from other creditors as well as an evaluation of the collateral securing the loan. With some exceptions, the Company's general policy is to require conservative underwriting policies, primarily in the analysis of borrowers' debt service coverage capabilities for commercial and commercial real estate loans, while emphasizing lower gross debt ratios for consumer loans and lower loan-to-value ratios for all types of real estate loans. Most of the Company's commercial real estate loans consist of owner-occupied properties financed for the Company's regular commercial customers, rather than speculative or investor-owned properties. Most of the Company's commercial and commercial real estate loans are personally guaranteed by the owners of the business, the primary exceptions to this requirement being loans to non-profit and membership organizations. Given the localized nature of the Company's lending activities, the primary risk factor affecting the portfolio as a whole is the health of the local economy in the Washington metropolitan area and its effects on the value of local real estate and the incomes of local professionals and business firms. To mitigate this risk, the Company's underwriting policy provides that each loan should be supported by an economically independent secondary source of repayment. Any exceptions to the general loan policy must be approved by the Executive Loan Committee. Loans to directors, executive officers and principal stockholders of the Company and to directors and officers of the Bank are subject to limitations contained in the Federal Reserve Act, the principal effect of which is to require that extensions of credit by the Bank to executive officers, directors, and ten percent stockholders satisfy certain standards. The Bank routinely makes loans in the ordinary course of business to certain directors and executive officers of the Company and the Bank, their associates, and members of their immediate families. In accordance with Federal Reserve Act guidelines, these loans are made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing for comparable transactions with others and do not involve more than normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features. As of December 31, 1998, loans and commitments outstanding to directors and executive officers of the Company and the Bank, their associates and members of their immediate families totaled $3.4 million (net of participations sold to other banks on a non-recourse basis), which represented approximately 2.9 percent of total loans as of that date. As of December 31, 1998, none of these loans outstanding from the Bank to related parties were on non-accrual, past due, restructured or considered by management to be a potential problem loan. -17- The following table sets forth the composition of the Company's loan portfolio by type of loan on the dates indicated:

The following table sets forth the maturities of loans (based upon contractual dates) outstanding as of December 31, 1998. Loans, primarily as a result of maturities, monthly payments and repayments, are an important source of liquidity. The Company's portfolio of adjustable rate home mortgages consists of loans to customers in the local market area. Such loans generally have balloon maturities within ten years or less, with two percent annual and six percent lifetime "caps" on interest rate changes. Borrowers have the right to prepay such loans without penalty. MATURITIES AND RATE SENSITIVITY OF LOANS (Dollars in Thousands)

(1) Includes demand loans, loans having no stated schedule of repayment or maturity, and overdrafts. -18- Asset Quality Nonperforming Assets Generally, interest on loans is accrued and credited to income based upon the principal balance outstanding. It is the Company's policy to discontinue the accrual of interest income and classify a loan as non-accrual when principal or interest is past due 90 days or more and the loan is not well secured and in the process of collection, or when, in the opinion of management, principal or interest is not likely to be paid in accordance with the terms of the obligation. The Company will generally charge-off loans after 120 days of delinquency unless adequately collateralized and in the process of collection. A loan is considered in the process of collection if, based on a probable specific event, management believes that the loan will be repaid or brought current within a reasonable period of time. Loans will not be returned to accrual status until the loan has been brought current and future payments of principal and interest appear certain. Interest accrued and unpaid at the time a loan is placed on non-accrual status is charged against interest income. Subsequent payments received are applied to the outstanding principal balance until the status of the loan has changed. Real estate acquired by the Company as a result of foreclosure is classified as other real estate owned ("OREO"). Such loans are reclassified to OREO and recorded at the lower of cost or fair market value less estimated selling costs, and the estimated loss, if any, is charged to the allowance for credit losses at that time. Further allowances for losses are recorded as charges to other expenses at the time management believes additional deterioration in value has occurred. The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the Company's non-accrual loans, OREO, and accruing loans which are contractually past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest, for the periods indicated: NONPERFORMING ASSETS (Dollars in Thousands)
Year Ended December 31, -------------------------------------------------------------- 1998 1997 1996 -------------------- -------------------- -------------------- Non-accrual loans $1,163 $624 $272 Accruing past due 90 days or more 383 76 50 -------------------- -------------------- -------------------- Total nonperforming loans 1,546 700 322 Other real estate owned - 52 - -------------------- -------------------- -------------------- Total nonperforming assets $1,546 $752 $322 -------------------- -------------------- -------------------- Nonperforming to total assets 1.02% 0.49% 0.30%
As of December 31, 1998, non-accrual loans consisted of 3 relationship borrowings. One is a loan expected to be paid by an SBA guaranty/liquidation. The second is a borrowing relationship which has gone through internal reorganization of company principals. There is one major loan secured by the owner-occupied mortgage on a medical practice as well as other assets. The Company expects this relationship to return to accrual status in March of 1999 once consistent payment performance is achieved. No material losses are anticipated for the Company on these two loans. The last relationship is comprised of a real estate secured loan which was on accrual at 90 or more days past due. The Company has significant real property collateral at acceptable margins and has maintained a good working relationship with the borrower. Interest lost on these nonaccrual loans was approximately $100,000, $26,000, and $17,000, for 1998, 1997, and 1996, respectively. The Company did not receive any interest paid on these nonaccrual loans in 1997 and received approximately $20,944 and $19,581 for 1998 and 1996, respectively. -19- Allowance for Credit Losses The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses based upon, among other things, such factors as historical experience, the volume and type of lending conducted by the Company, the amount of nonperforming assets, regulatory policies, generally accepted accounting principles, general economic conditions, and other factors related to the collectibility of loans in the Company's portfolio. Although management believes it uses the best information available to make determinations with respect to the allowance for credit losses, future adjustments may be necessary if such factors and conditions differ from the assumptions used in making the initial determinations. Based upon criteria consistently applied during the periods, the Company's allowance for credit losses was $1,128,000 (0.98% of total loans) as of December 31, 1998, $887,000 (0.94% of total loans) as of December 31, 1997, and $826,000 (1.17% of total loans) as of December 31, 1996. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of nonperforming loans was 73%, 127% and 257% as of December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The following table sets forth an analysis of the Company's allowance for credit losses for the periods indicated: ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES (Dollars in Thousands)

-20- The Company considers the composition of its loan portfolio and the loss potential associated with different types of loans in determining the level of the allowance for credit losses. In considering the loss potential associated with different types of loans, the Company considers its own historical loss experience with each type of loan, together with any internal or external changes which might suggest that future losses will be higher or lower than the historical loss experience. Such additional factors include changes in national or local economic conditions which affect the repayment capacity of borrowers and/or the market value of collateral, trends in past due payments, changes in underwriting standards, changes in loan originating and servicing personnel, changes in the types of credit offered, and other factors. For a description of the Company's accounting policy for the allowance for credit losses, see Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Investment Activities The Company's investment portfolio of $9.3 million as of December 31, 1998 consisted mostly of U.S. Treasury and government agency obligations. This represented a decrease of $10.1 million compared to the investment securities of $19.4 million at December 31, 1997. The reductions in investment securities and interest bearing deposits were used to fund the $21.1 million increase in loans during 1998. The Company's investment portfolio of $19.4 million as of December 31, 1997 consisted mostly of U.S. Treasury and government agency obligations. This represented an increase of $12.0 million compared to the investment portfolio total of $7.4 million at December 31, 1996. This substantial increase was the result of liquidity obtained from the purchase of a retail banking branch in Virginia in the fourth quarter of 1997. Investment securities available-for-sale are stated at fair value. These securities may be sold, retained until maturity, or pledged as collateral for liquidity and borrowing in response to changing interest rates, changes in prepayment risk, and other factors as a part of the Company's overall asset liability management strategy. Investment securities held-to-maturity are stated at amortized cost. The Company has the intent and ability to hold these securities until maturity, and they are also available to be pledged as collateral for liquidity and borrowing needs if and when such needs may occur. The following table sets forth the carrying value of the Company's investment portfolio as of the dates indicated: INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO COMPOSITION (Dollars In Thousands)

(1) The calculation of the weighted average yields is based on yield, weighted by the respective book value of the securities, using cost basis in the case of securities available-for-sale. Deposit Activities The Company's total deposits at year-end 1998 were $126.2 million, a decrease of $3.4 million, or 2.6%, compared to the year-end 1997 balance. Total average deposits were $121.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1998, an increase of $24.8 million, or 25.6% compared with average deposits of $96.7 million for the year ended December 31, 1997. In 1997, total deposits at year-end 1997 were $129.6 million, an increase of $38.6 million, or 42.4%, over 1996's year-end balance. Total average deposits were $96.7 million for the year ended December 31, 1997, an increase of $15.8 million, or 19.5% compared with average deposits of $80.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1996. The Company views deposit growth as a significant challenge in its effort to increase its asset size. Thus, the Company is focusing on its branching program with increased emphasis on commercial accounts, and the offering of more competitive interest rates and products to stimulate deposit growth. -22- The following table sets forth the average balances and weighted average rates for the Company's categories of deposits for the periods indicated: AVERAGE DEPOSITS (Dollars In Thousands)

The Company seeks to rely primarily on regular customer relationships to provide a stable and cost-effective source of funding to support asset growth. The Company's Asset/Liability Management Policy limits total brokered deposits to ten percent (10%) of the Bank's total liabilities. As of December 31, 1998, brokered deposits represented $496,000, or 0.4% of the Company's total liabilities. As of December 31, 1998, total time deposits in excess of $100,000 accounted for $17.3 million, or 13.7% of the Company's total deposits. Of this amount, $7.0 million had a remaining term of six months or less. The following table sets forth the amount of the Company's certificates of deposit of $100,000 or more, by time remaining until maturity, as of December 31, 1998 and 1997: TIME DEPOSITS OF $100,000 OR MORE (Dollars In Thousands)

-24- Return on Equity and Assets Return on average assets ("ROA") measures net income in relation to total average assets and generally indicates an institution's ability to use its assets profitably. Return on average equity ("ROE") is determined by dividing annual net income by average stockholders' equity and indicates the effectiveness of an institution in generating net income from the capital invested by its stockholders. The following table sets forth the Company's ROA and ROE for the periods indicated: RETURN ON EQUITY AND ASSETS

Liquidity The Company's Asset/Liability Management Policy is intended to maintain adequate liquidity for the Company and thereby enhance its ability to raise funds to support asset growth, meet deposit withdrawals and lending needs, maintain reserve requirements and otherwise sustain operations. The Company accomplishes this primarily through management of the maturities of its interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The Company believes that its present liquidity position is adequate to meet its current and future needs. Asset liquidity is provided by cash and assets which are readily marketable, or which can be pledged, or which will mature in the near future. The asset liquidity of the Bank is maintained in the form of vault cash, demand deposits with commercial banks, federal funds sold, interest bearing deposits with other financial institutions, short-term investment securities, other investment securities available-for-sale, and short-term loans. The Company has defined "cash and cash equivalents" as those amounts included in cash and due from banks and federal funds sold. As of December 31, 1998, the Bank had cash and cash equivalents of $13.2 million, an increase of $1.1 million, when compared with the $12.1 million at December 31, 1997. Liability liquidity is provided by access to core funding sources, principally various customers' deposit accounts in the Company's market area. As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta ("FHLBA"), the Company is authorized to borrow up to $16.1 million secured by a blanket pledge of its portfolio of 1-to-4-family residential mortgage loans. The Company also has approved lines of credit from larger correspondent banks to borrow excess reserves on an overnight basis (known as "federal funds purchased") in the amount of $1.0 million, and to borrow on a secured basis ("repurchase agreements") in the amount of $5.0 million. As of December 31, 1998, the Company had no federal funds purchased or repurchase agreements, and was utilizing $6.5 million of its available FHLBA borrowings in the form of fixed-rate term credit advances with an average interest rate of 6.74%. The Company utilizes fixed rate term credit advances from the FHLBA to fund fixed rate real estate loans of comparable terms and maturities. The Company's cash flows are composed of three classifications: cash flows from operating activities, cash flows from investing activities, and cash flows from financing activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1998. Net cash provided by investing activities was $1.1 million for 1998, as the $21.4 million net increase in loans was funded largely by decreases in investment securities and interest bearing deposits in other banks. Net cash used in financing activities for 1998 of $2.0 million resulted from a $3.4 million decrease in deposits, reduction of $1.1 million in borrowings, the proceeds of $1.4 million from customer repurchase accounts, and proceeds of $1.1 million from the exercise of options and warrants for common stock. -25- Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1997. Net cash used in investing activities was $25.5 million for 1997, as net increases in loans and investments exceeded net deposits acquired and repayments from loans and investments during the year. Net cash provided by financing activities for 1997 was $16.8 million and was related mostly to net increases in certificates of deposit and the issuance of Common Stock in 1997. In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into commitments to make loans and fund letters of credit, and the Company is also a party to four operating leases with respect to its banking quarters. Details of these commitments may be found in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company had cash on hand in the amount of $2.0 million at the holding company level at December 31, 1998. The Company anticipates using these funds as working capital available to support the future growth of the franchise as well as to pay normal operating expenses. Additionally, working capital is further supported by dividends available from the Bank, subject to certain regulatory restrictions generally applicable to national banks. As of December 31, 1998, the Company had no indebtedness outstanding at the holding company level. Capital Resources Total stockholders' equity as of December 31, 1998 was $15.3 million, an increase of $1.8 million in 1998 and $6.8 million in 1997, compared to stockholders' equity of $13.5 million and $6.7 million as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. In 1998, additional capital was raised from the exercise of warrants and stock options amounting to $1.1 million, whereas in the third quarter of 1997 the Company issued 977,500 shares of Common Stock, at a price of $7.25 per share. In 1997, the net proceeds from sale of Common Stock and the exercise of warrants and options was approximately $6.4 million. Net income was $636,884 in 1998 and $336,158 in 1997. The OCC has established certain minimum risk-based capital standards that apply to national banks, and the Company is subject to certain capital requirements imposed by the Federal Reserve Board. At December 31, 1998, the Bank exceeded all applicable regulatory capital requirements for classification as a "well capitalized" bank, and the Company satisfied all applicable regulatory requirements imposed on it by the Federal Reserve Board. See Note 12 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Year 2000 The "Year 2000" problem arose because many computer programs were designed to use only the last two digits to refer to a year. Therefore, these computer programs did not properly recognize a year that begins with "20" instead of the familiar "19." If not corrected, many computer applications could fail or create erroneous results. The extent of the potential impact of the Year 2000 problem is not yet known; however, the consequences of the Year 2000 problem could have a material effect on the Company's business, results of operations, or financial condition. In December 1997, the Company adopted a Year 2000 compliance plan ("Y2K Plan") for the assessment of its exposure to the Year 2000 problem, completion of any required remediation, and testing of systems compliance. A specific timetable was established, and a senior officer of the Company was assigned leadership responsibility. The officer reports monthly to the Board of Directors concerning the status of the Y2K Plan, and the Company's progress is reviewed from time to time by bank regulatory authorities. -26- The Company believes that it is presently on schedule with respect to its Y2K Plan, and outside reviews to date found the Company's Year 2000 compliance efforts to be satisfactory. As of December 31, 1998, the Company's estimated percentage of completion of its Y2K Plan was 96%, and the estimated date for 100% completion was August 31, 1999. Testing of mission critical systems was completed in November 1998. Testing methodology included copying the entire customer data base onto a Year 2000 compliant (hardware and software) computer system, and utilizing the key Year 2000 dates defined by the FFIEC to test date sensitive transactions and calculations. These tests were performed on all mission critical systems and results revealed compliance or very minor discrepancies which have been traced. Failed test transactions will be tested again in 1999. Material third party risks principally include assessing the Year 2000 preparation status of bank borrowing customers. The Company completed an assessment of Year 2000 risk within its loan portfolio as of the September 30, 1998, regulatory target date, and will continue to monitor the progress of any borrowers deemed to be at high risk. As part of its Y2K Plan, the Company expects to spend approximately $145,000 for the replacement of outdated computer hardware and software. Much of these expenditures would have been incurred in the ordinary course of business to maintain such computer systems, regardless of Year 2000 problem considerations. The human resources requirement will include the time of regular Company employees, a network administration consultant, and approximately $20,000 of additional consulting expenses. No significant computer systems projects have been delayed as a result of Year 2000 preparations. Because most of the Company's data processing services are provided by outside vendors on a contract basis, management does not currently anticipate that the costs to address the Company's Year 2000 issues will have a significant impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company. The Company believes that the most likely worst case scenarios due to the Year 2000 problem could include liquidity issues due to customers' withdrawal of extra cash, security preparations, or short term electric power interruptions. The Company is taking steps to establish and renew lines of credit with its correspondent banks and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta to assure that adequate liquidity will be available to meet the needs of customers. Additional security precautions will be taken to prevent possible crimes due to heightened public awareness of additional cash reserves. The Company does not believe that long term and widespread electric power outages are likely, and has planned to address short term interruptions by training bank management and staff to be ready to provide limited service to customers. The Company is dependent upon the services of EDS in Reston, Virginia, to provide access to customer data bases and other mission critical functions. EDS has back-up service sites available and ready to provide services to the Company should electric power interruptions or other problems occur in the Reston location. The Company does not expect any significant loss in revenue to occur as a result of Year 2000 problems. The Company's Y2K Plan includes certain contingency plans to be implemented in the event that computer systems fail to perform in accordance with plans and expectations. For the most part, these contingency plans involve a change to manual processes for all mission critical business functions, which the Company believes is practical in view of the relative size and scope of its operations. Management and staff will be trained on these procedures and processes prior to July 1999, and additional refresher training will be provided during November and December 1999. -27- Impact of Inflation, Changing Prices and Monetary Policies The primary effect of inflation on the operations of the Company is reflected in increased operating costs. Unlike industrial companies, virtually all of the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, changes in interest rates have a more significant effect on the performance of a financial institution than do the effects of changes in the general rate of inflation and changes in prices. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the prices of goods and services. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors which are beyond the control of the Company, including the influence of domestic and foreign economic conditions and the monetary and fiscal policies of the United States government and federal agencies, particularly the Federal Reserve Board. The Federal Reserve Board implements national monetary policy such as seeking to curb inflation and combat recession by its open market operations in United States government securities, control of the discount rate applicable to borrowing by banks, and establishment of reserve requirements against bank deposits. The actions of the Federal Reserve Board in these areas influence the growth of bank loans, investments and deposits, and affect the interest rates charged on loans and paid on deposits. The nature, timing and impact of any future changes in federal monetary and fiscal policies on the Company and its results of operations are not predictable. Disclosure Regarding Forward Looking Statements Statements and financial discussion and analysis contained in Items 1, 7 and 7A of this report that are not historical facts are forward looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, forward looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties and no assurance may be given that the Company's expectations will be achieved. Among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company's expectations are the Company's exposure to local economic conditions; changes in interest rate risks and the Company's net interest margin; the Company's ability to increase deposits; the Company's ability to make acquisitions of other depository institutions, their assets or their liabilities and the Company's successful integration of any such acquisitions; changes in applicable statutes and regulations or their interpretation; changes in the ability of the Bank or the Company to pay dividends on its Common Stock; competition; and the loss of senior management or operating personnel. ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK. For information regarding the market risk of the Company's financial instruments, see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation--Interest Rate Sensitivity and Management of Market Risk." The Company's principal market risk exposure is to interest rates. -28- ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA.

-33- CENTURY BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1998 and 1997 - -------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- (1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Description of Business The primary business of Century Bancshares, Inc. (the "Company") and its subsidiary, Century National Bank ("Century Bank" or the "Bank") is to attract deposits from individual and corporate customers and to originate loans secured by residential and commercial real estate, business assets, and other personal property. The Company operates primarily in the metropolitan Washington, DC area, and is managed as a single business segment. The Company targets individuals and businesses in professional services as its clientele. The Company is subject to competition from other financial institutions in attracting and retaining deposits and in originating and purchasing loans. The Company and Century Bank are subject to the regulations of certain agencies of the federal government and undergo periodic examinations by those agencies. Basis of Financial Statement Presentation The financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis and in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and Century Bank. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company has defined cash and cash equivalents as those amounts included in cash and due from banks and federal funds sold. Investment Securities The Company classifies its debt and marketable equity securities in one of three categories: trading, available-for-sale, or held-to-maturity. Trading securities are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term. Held-to-maturity securities are those securities that the Company has the ability and intent to hold until maturity. All other securities not classified as trading or held-to-maturity are classified as available-for-sale. The Company does not engage in trading activities and, accordingly, has no trading portfolio. Available-for-sale and trading securities are recorded at fair value. Held-to-maturity securities are recorded at amortized cost. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of the related tax effect, on available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and are reported as other comprehensive income which is a separate component of stockholders' equity. A decline in the market value of any available-for-sale or held-to-maturity security below cost that is deemed other than temporary is charged to earnings, resulting in the establishment of a new cost basis for the security. Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the related security as an adjustment to yield using the effective interest method. Dividend and interest income are recognized when earned. Realized gains and losses for securities classified as available-for-sale and held-to-maturity are included in earnings and are derived using the specific identification method for determining the cost of securities sold. Prepayment of the mortgages securing the collateralized mortgage obligations may affect the maturity date and yield to maturity. The Company uses actual principal prepayment experience and estimates of future principal prepayments in calculating the yield necessary to apply the effective interest method. -34- CENTURY BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1998 and 1997 - -------------------------------------------------------------- --------------- (1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED Income Recognition on Loans Interest on loans is credited to income as earned from the principal balance outstanding. When, in management's judgment, the full collectibility of principal or interest on a loan becomes uncertain, that loan is placed on a cash basis (nonaccrual) for purposes of income recognition, which is generally when a loan is delinquent in either principal or interest for 90 days or more. Accrued but uncollected interest on nonaccrual loans is charged against current income. Interest accruals are resumed on such loans only when they are brought fully current with respect to principal and interest and when, in the judgment of management, the loans have demonstrated a new period of performance and are estimated to be fully collectible as to both principal and interest. Loan origination fees and direct loan origination costs are deferred and recognized either upon the sale of a loan or amortized as an adjustment to yield over the life of the loan. Allowance for Credit Losses The allowance for credit losses is a valuation allowance available for losses incurred on loans. It is established through charges to earnings in the form of provisions for credit losses. Credit losses are charged to the allowance for credit losses when a determination is made that collection is unlikely to occur. Recoveries are credited to the allowance at the time of recovery. It is the Company's policy to discontinue the accrual of interest income and classify a loan as non-accrual when principal or interest is past due 90 days or more and the loan is not well secured and in the process of collection, or when, in the opinion of management, principal or interest is not likely to be paid in accordance with the terms of the obligation. The Company will generally charge-off loans after 120 days of delinquency unless adequately collateralized and in the process of collection. A loan is considered in the process of collection if, based on a probable specific event, management believes that the loan will be repaid or brought current within a reasonable period of time. Loans will not be returned to accrual status until the loan has been brought current and future payments of principal and interest appear certain. Interest accrued and unpaid at the time a loan is placed on non-accrual status is charged against interest income. Subsequent payments received are applied to the outstanding principal balance until the status of the loan has changed. Prior to the beginning of each year, and quarterly during the year, management estimates whether the allowance for credit losses is adequate to absorb losses that are inherent in the existing portfolio. Based on these estimates, an amount is charged to the provision for credit losses to adjust the allowance to a level determined to be adequate to absorb these inherent losses. Management's judgment as to the level of future losses on existing loans involves management's internal review of the loan portfolio, including an analysis of the borrowers' current financial position, the consideration of current and anticipated economic conditions and their potential effects on specific borrowers; an evaluation of the existing relationships among loans, potential credit losses, and the present level of the loan loss allowance; and in certain circumstances, results of examinations by independent consultants. In determining the collectibility of certain loans, management also considers the fair value of any underlying collateral. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company's allowances for losses on loans and other real estate owned. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowances based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination. The Company measures impaired loans at the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, or at the loan's observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, the Company determines that it is probable that it will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the original loan agreement. Restructured loans are impaired loans in the year of restructuring and thereafter, such loans are subject to management's evaluation of impairment based on the restructured terms. The Company's charge-off policy for impaired loans is consistent with its policy for all loan charge-offs. Impaired loans are charged-off when all or a portion thereof is considered uncollectible or transferred to foreclosed properties. Consistent with the Company's method for nonaccrual loans, interest receipts on impaired loans are applied to principal. -35- CENTURY BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1998 and 1997 - -------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- (1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED Leasehold Improvements, Furniture, and Equipment Leasehold improvements, furniture, and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the improvements or the lease term, whichever is shorter. Depreciation of furniture and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, ranging from 3 to 10 years. During 1998, the Company made certain changes in accounting estimates regarding the estimated useful lives of furniture and equipment which had the effect of reducing depreciation expense in 1998 by $99,000 ($61,000 after tax, $0.03 per diluted common share). Other Real Estate Owned Real estate acquired through foreclosure is recorded at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated selling costs. Management periodically evaluates the recoverability of the carrying value of other real estate owned. Costs relating to property improvements are capitalized, and costs relating to holding properties are charged to expense. Gains or losses on the sale of other real estate owned are recognized upon disposition of the property. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes based upon the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Income per Common Share In March 1997, SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Common Share" was issued. SFAS No. 128 requires income per share to be presented under two computations: basic and diluted income per share. Basic income per share is calculated by dividing net income (after deduction of preferred dividends), by the weighted average common shares outstanding. Diluted income per share is calculated by dividing net income (after deduction of preferred dividends), by the addition of weighted average common shares and potential common stock. SFAS No. 128 was implemented on December 31, 1997, with 1996 per share computations restated to reflect the new pronouncement. Total weighted average shares outstanding at December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 were 2,388,015, 1,551,307 and 1,244,390, respectively. On March 19, 1996, the Company declared a 7 percent stock dividend to common stock shareholders of record as of March 31, 1996, resulting in the issuance of 73,047 shares. On April 22, 1997, the Company declared a 5 percent stock dividend to common stock shareholders of record as of May 7, 1997, resulting in the issuance of 57,793 shares. On May 19, 1998, the Company declared a 5 percent stock dividend to common stock shareholders of record as of May 29, 1998, resulting in the issuance of 112,665 shares. Weighted average shares outstanding and all income per common share amounts have been restated for the effect of the stock dividends. New Financial Accounting Standards Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income." SFAS No. 130 requires that certain financial activity normally disclosed in stockholders' equity be reported in the statement of operations as an adjustment to net income in computing comprehensive income. In addition, SFAS No. 130 requires restatement of all prior periods presented. Items generally applicable to the Company include unrealized gains and losses on investment securities available for sale. Comprehensive income components are to be reported in a separate caption in the consolidated statements of stockholders' equity. The Company did not experience any financial impact from the implementation of SFAS No. 130. -36- CENTURY BANCSHARES, INC.

In June 1998, SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" was issued. SFAS No. 133 requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure these instruments at fair value. In certain circumstances a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair values of a recognized asset or liability or an unrecognized firm commitment, the exposure to variable cash flows of a forecasted transaction, or the exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency. SFAS No. 133 will be effective for all periods beginning after June 15, 1999. Earlier application is permitted, but the statement shall not be applied retroactively to financial statements of prior periods. The Company does not anticipate any material impact from the implementation of SFAS No. 133. Stock Options The Company accounts for its stock option plans under the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations. Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized for the plans under SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," and the proforma impact to compensation expense is detailed in Note 9--"Benefit and Incentive Plans." Reclassifications Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform to the presentation for 1998. -37- CENTURY BANCSHARES, INC.

Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities of mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations because borrowers have the right to prepay their obligations at any time. Investment securities totaling $3,619,322 and $3,212,794 at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits and customer repurchase accounts. During 1998, there was a net decrease of $10.2 million in investment securities from maturities, principal payments and sales in order to fund a portion of the growth in the loan portfolio; investment securities available for sale with an amortized cost of $6,617,084 were sold for gross proceeds of $6,631,654 resulting in gains of $14,570.

The Company did not receive any interest paid on these nonaccrual loans in 1997 and received approximately $21,000 and $20,000 for 1998 and 1996, respectively. Analysis of the activity in the allowance for credit losses is as follows:

-40- CENTURY BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1998 and 1997 - -------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- (3) LOANS RECEIVABLE, CONTINUED The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit and financial guarantees. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer so long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments usually have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of the contractual obligations by a customer to a third party. The majority of these guarantees extend until satisfactory completion of the customer's contractual obligations. All standby letters of credit outstanding at December 31, 1998, are collateralized. Those instruments may involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated statements of financial condition. Credit risk is defined as the possibility of sustaining a loss because the other parties to a financial instrument failed to perform in accordance with the terms of the contract. The Company's maximum exposure to credit loss under standby letters of credit and commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual amounts of those instruments.
Contractual or notional amount as of December 31, ------------------------------------- 1998 1997 ------------------ ------------------ Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent potential credit risk: Commitments to extend credit $27,246,000 $25,261,000 Standby letters of credit 2,251,000 1,777,000
At December 31, 1998, the Company did not have any financial instruments whose notional or contractual amounts exceed the amount of credit risk. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. The Company evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis and requires collateral to support financial instruments when deemed necessary. The amount of collateral obtained upon extension of credit is based on management's evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include deposits held by the Company; marketable securities; accounts receivable; inventory; property, plant and equipment; and income-producing commercial properties. Most of the Company's business activity is with customers located in the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Northern Virginia. Accordingly, the ultimate collectibility of a substantial portion of the Company's loan portfolio is susceptible to changes in conditions in these markets. Industry concentrations in excess of 10 percent of total loans where the borrowers as a group might be affected similarly by economic changes consist of loans to members of the legal profession and the health care profession. Century Bank offers lines of credit, home equity lines, and mortgage loans to these groups. The aggregate total of loans to such groups was approximately $19.8 million and $11.6 million, respectively, as of December 31, 1998. The aggregate total of loans to such groups was approximately $17.8 million and $11.5 million, respectively, as of December 31, 1997. The amount of such loans which are past due or considered by management to be potential problem loans is not material. -41- CENTURY BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1998 and 1997 - -------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- (4) RELATED PARTIES An analysis of the activity of loans to directors, officers, and their affiliates during the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, is as follows:

In the opinion of management, all transactions entered into between the Company and such related parties have been and are in the ordinary course of business and made on the same terms and conditions as similar transactions with unaffiliated persons. Unfunded commitments to related parties totaled approximately $539,000 and $282,000 at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Also, included in professional fees are legal fees paid to law firms whose partners are directors of the Company or the Bank, totaling $270,041, $282,536, and $139,611 for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997, and 1996, respectively.

The Bank has been advised by the FHLB that it has a total credit availability of $16.1 million. The FHLB credit availability does not represent a firm commitment by the FHLB. Rather, it is the FHLB's assessment of what the Bank could borrow given the Bank's current financial condition. The credit availability is subject to change at any time based upon the Bank's financial condition and that of the FHLB, as well as changes in FHLB policies or Congressional mandates. At December 31, 1998, the balance of advances payable to the FHLB was $6.5 million and the credit available from the FHLB was $9.6 million. -44- CENTURY BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1998 and 1997 - -------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- (7) OTHER BORROWINGS, CONTINUED In connection with its borrowings from the FHLB, the Bank is required to own FHLB stock. At December 31, 1998, the Bank's investment in FHLB stock had a par and carrying value of $821,800 and was automatically pledged against FHLB advances. Advances from the FHLB are secured by a blanket floating lien on the Bank's residential, one-to-four family first mortgage loans. (8) STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY Common Stock The Company is authorized to issue 5 million shares of Common Stock, par value $1.00. At December 31, 1998, the Company had 2,574,219 shares outstanding. In September 1997, the Company issued 977,500 shares of Common Stock, at a price of $7.25 per share. The net proceeds from the sale of Common Stock totaled approximately $6.3 million. In November 1995, the Company issued 173,912 Units pursuant to an Offering made in September 1995, to existing holders of the Company's Common and Preferred Stock (see below). Each Unit consisted of one share of Common Stock and one Warrant. The offering price was $5.75 per Unit. Of the 173,912 Units issued, 35,814 Units were exchanged for 27,449 shares of the Company' Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock. The remaining 138,098 Units were sold for cash, with net proceeds totaling $711,187. Each Warrant entitled the holder thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock at a price of $5.75 per share, subject to adjustment. As a result of stock dividends declared in 1998, 1997 and 1996, the terms of the Warrants were adjusted to the effect that each Warrant entitled the holder to purchase 1.179675 shares of Common Stock at an adjusted price of $4.874 per share at any time through November 16, 1998. Prior to the November 16, 1998 expiration date, the exercise of warrants during 1998 generated additional proceeds of $934,334 from the issuance of shares of common stock. Income Per Common Share In accordance with SFAS No. 128, the calculation of basic income per common share and diluted income per common share is detailed below:

-45- CENTURY BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1998 and 1997 - -------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- (9) BENEFIT AND INCENTIVE PLANS Deferred Compensation Plan The Company has a deferred compensation plan for its board of directors and Century Bank's board of directors, with certain limitations. Each director may elect to enter into an agreement in lieu of receiving director's fees in cash. The agreements generally provide for the purchase of life insurance for each participating director and the payment of a retirement benefit for 15 years after retirement, with certain death provisions. The retirement benefit granted under the agreement vests pursuant to a schedule, with 20% of the benefit vesting each year over a five-year period. As of December 31, 1998, the net present value of the deferred compensation liability for all directors totaled approximately $674,000, compared with $544,000 for 1997. Expenses related to the deferred compensation program totaled $108,000 for 1998, $84,000 for 1997, and $112,000 for 1996. Stock Option Plans Pursuant to the Century Bancshares, Inc. 1994 Stock Option Plan ("1994 Plan") the Company reserved 350,000 shares of its common stock for the issuance of incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options to directors and key employees. As of December 31, 1998, after adjusting for stock dividends and stock option activity, there are 329,317 shares of stock reserved for issuance pursuant to the 1994 Plan, of which 202,546 shares are reserved for outstanding options and 126,771 shares are reserved for future option grants. These options are granted for terms of 7 to 10 years, with directors having immediate vesting and employees vesting 25 percent (of the original grant) after each six, eighteen, thirty and forty-two month periods of continued service. In addition, there remain outstanding certain options granted to directors and key employees under two prior option plans ("Prior Plans") which expired in 1992 and 1993. As of December 31, 1998, after adjusting for stock dividends and stock option activity, there are 12,364 shares of stock reserved for issuance pursuant to options granted under the Prior Plans, which options are still valid and were not affected by the Plans' expiration. As of December 31, 1998, all options granted under the Prior Plans are fully exercisable. In connection with the 5 percent stock dividend effective July 31, 1993, March 31, 1994, March 31, 1995, May 7, 1997, and June 29, 1998, in addition to the 7 percent stock dividend effective March 31, 1996, the number of shares subject to any outstanding options, the exercise price per share, and the number of shares reserved for the issuance of future options have been appropriately and equitably adjusted, pursuant to the stock option plans, so as to maintain the proportionate number of shares without changing the aggregate option price. In the tables below, the shares and prices per share have been adjusted to reflect the stock dividends. Stock option transactions for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997, and 1996, are summarized as follows:

AND SUBSIDIARY Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1998 and 1997 - -------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- (9) BENEFIT AND INCENTIVE PLANS, CONTINUED Stock Option Plans, Continued The following table summarizes information about stock options outstanding at December 31, 1998:
Options outstanding Options exercisable --------------------------- --------------------------- Weighted average Weighted Weighted Number remaining average average of options contractual exercise Number exercise Range of exercise prices outstanding (years) price exercisable price - ----------------------------------- -------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- $1.46 to $2.00 2,821 0.4 $ 1.66 2,821 $ 1.66 $2.01 to $3.00 11,370 0.8 2.36 11,370 2.36 $3.01 to $4.00 23,403 2.1 3.76 23,403 3.76 $4.01 to $5.00 20,414 3.1 4.87 20,414 4.87 $5.01 to $6.00 23,073 6.9 5.44 21,027 5.44 $6.01 to $7.00 82,830 9.1 6.51 28,321 6.55 $7.01 to $8.00 4,750 9.9 7.37 - - $8.01 to $9.00 - - - - - $9.01 to $10.00 30,500 9.0 9.30 22,000 9.31 $10.01 to $10.36 15,750 9.2 10.13 5,509 10.13 - ----------------------------------- -------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- $1.46 to $10.36 214,911 7.0 $ 6.34 134,865 $ 5.78 - ----------------------------------- -------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- -------------
The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively: no dividends for any year, expected volatility of 28 percent for 1998, 29 percent for 1997, and 20 percent for 1996, risk free interest rates of 5.4 percent for 1998, 5.8 percent for 1997, and 6.3 percent for 1996, along with expected lives of 7 years for 1998, 1997 and 1996. As the Company continues to apply APB Opinion No. 25 in accounting for its stock options, no compensation cost has been recognized for its stock options in the financial statements. Had the Company determined compensation cost based on the fair value at the grant date for its stock options under SFAS No. 123, the Company's net income would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below:
1998 1997 1996 ------------------ ------------------ ------------------- Net income, as reported $636,884 $336,158 $278,579 Net income, pro forma 519,502 298,320 244,585 Diluted earnings per share, as reported .26 .21 .22 Diluted earnings per share, pro forma .21 .19 .19
Pro forma net income reflects only options granted in 1998, 1997 and 1996. Therefore, the full impact of calculating compensation cost for stock options under SFAS No. 123 is not reflected in the pro forma net income amounts presented above because compensation cost is reflected over the options vesting period and compensation costs for options granted prior to January 1, 1995 are not considered. Employee Benefit Plan The Company maintains a 401(k) plan which covers substantially all employees. Participants may contribute up to 6 percent of their compensation. The Company matches 50 percent of participant contributions to the Plan. This matching contribution totaled approximately $38,000 for 1998, $17,000 for 1997 and $21,000 for 1996. -47- CENTURY BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1998 and 1997 - -------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- (10) INCOME TAXES The provision for taxes on income for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997, and 1996, consisted of the following:

The difference between the statutory federal income tax rates and the effective income tax rates for 1998, 1997, and 1996, are as follows:
1998 1997 1996 - ----------------------------------------------------- ------------------ ------------------ ------------------- Statutory federal income tax rate 34.0 % 34.0 % 34.0% State income taxes, net of federal benefit 2.8 5.4 6.4 Nondeductible expenses 1.1 2.6 8.1 Other (2.1) (1.0) 1.1 - ----------------------------------------------------- ------------------ ------------------ ------------------- Effective income tax rate 35.8 % 41.0 % 49.6% - ----------------------------------------------------- ------------------ ------------------ -------------------
The following is a summary of the tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities at December 31, 1998 and 1997:
1998 1997 ---------------- ----------------- Assets: Fixed assets $ 102,797 $ 84,289 Bad debts 218,021 318,827 Deferred rent expense 28,741 44,703 Deferred loan fees 37,460 49,987 Vacation pay accrual 22,800 20,479 Directors' deferred compensation 256,284 220,749 Intangibles 44,847 22,254 ---------------- ----------------- Deferred tax assets 710,950 761,288 Liabilities: Federal Home Loan Bank stock dividends (11,484) (11,484) Unrealized (gains) losses on investments designated as available-for-sale recognized for tax purposes (3,468) 11,217 Other (12,885) (56,444) ---------------- ----------------- Deferred tax liabilities (27,837) (56,711) ---------------- ----------------- Net deferred tax asset $ 683,113 $ 704,577 ---------------- -----------------
Net deferred tax assets of $683,113 and $704,577 at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, are included in other assets. The Company has not established a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Based on the level of historical taxable income during the carryback period and the reversal of certain deferred tax liabilities, management believes it is more likely than not the Company will realize the benefits of these deductible differences. -48- CENTURY BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1998 and 1997 - -------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- (11) RESERVE BALANCES, FUNDS RESTRICTION, COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Reserve Balances Under Federal Reserve Board regulations, banks are required to maintain cash reserves against certain categories of deposit liabilities. Cash balances qualified to meet these reserve requirements consist of vault cash and balances on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank. Such restricted cash balances are included in "Cash and due from banks" in the consolidated statements of financial condition and amount to approximately $1.0 million at year-end 1998 and 1997. Funds Restrictions Dividends paid to the Company by Century Bank are subject to restrictions by regulatory agencies. As of December 31, 1998, approximately $1.3 million was available to be paid to the Company in dividends from Century Bank, pursuant to such regulatory restrictions. As described in Note 12--Capital and Liquidity, regulatory agencies have established laws and guidelines with respect to the maintenance of appropriate levels of bank capital that could further limit the amount available for payment of dividends by Century Bank under regulatory restrictions if applied in the future. Commitments and Contingencies The Company leases its banking facilities under operating leases providing for payment of fixed rentals and providing for pass-through of certain landlord expenses, with options to renew. Rental expense was approximately $548,000, $399,000, and $327,000, for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997, and 1996, respectively. Total future minimum rental payments at December 31, 1998, are as follows:

AND SUBSIDIARY Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1998 and 1997 - -------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- (12) CAPITAL AND LIQUIDITY The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (FDICIA) requires regulators to classify insured depository institutions into one of five tiers based upon their relative capital strengths and to increase progressively the degree of regulation over the weaker ones, limits the pass-through deposit insurance treatment of certain types of accounts, adopts a "Truth in Savings" program, calls for the adoption of risk-based premiums on deposit insurance, and requires banks to observe insider credit underwriting procedures no less strict than those applied to comparable non-insider transactions. The Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act (FIRREA) of 1989 requires depository institutions to maintain minimum capital levels. In addition to its capital requirements, FIRREA includes provisions for changes in the federal regulatory structure for institutions, including a new deposit insurance system, increased deposit insurance premiums, and restricted investment activities with respect to noninvestment grade corporate debt and certain other investments. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory--and possibly additional discretionary--actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and Century Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 1998, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject. As of December 31, 1998, the most recent notification from the OCC categorized Century Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, Century Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Company's category. The following tables present the actual and required capital information for the Company and Century Bank:

AND SUBSIDIARY Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1998 and 1997 - -------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------- (14) FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments" (SFAS No. 107), requires the disclosure of estimated fair values for financial instruments. Quoted market prices, if available, are utilized as an estimate of the fair value of financial instruments. Because no quoted market prices exist for a portion of the Company's financial instruments, the fair value of such instruments has been derived based on management's assumptions with respect to future economic conditions, the amount and timing of future cash flows and estimated discount rates. Different assumptions could significantly affect these estimates. Accordingly, the net realizable value could be materially different from the estimates presented below. In addition, the estimates are only indicative of individual financial instruments' values and should not be considered an indication of the fair value of the Company taken as a whole. Cash, Interest Bearing Deposits with Other Banks, and Federal Funds Sold: For cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits with other banks, and federal funds sold; the carrying amount approximates fair value. Investment Securities: For these instruments, fair values are based on published market or dealer quotes. Loans, Net of Unearned Income: For variable rate loans that reprice on a scheduled basis, fair values are based on carrying values. The fair value of the remaining loans are estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. Noninterest-Bearing Deposits: The fair value of these deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. Interest-Bearing Deposits: The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and money market deposits with no defined maturity is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar deposits would be accepted. Other Borrowings: The carrying amount for variable rate borrowings approximate the fair values at the reporting date. The fair values of the fixed rate borrowings are estimated by discounting the future cash flows using interest rates currently available for borrowings with similar terms and remaining maturities. Off-Balance Sheet Items: Century Bank has reviewed the unfunded portion of commitments to extend credit, as well as standby and other letters of credit, and has determined that the fair value of such instruments are not material. -54- CENTURY BANCSHARES, INC.

(15) ACQUISITIONS AND INTANGIBLES On October 10, 1997, the Company completed the previously announced purchase and assumption of the deposits and certain other liabilities of the branch of Eastern American Bank, FSB ("Eastern American") located at 6832 Old Dominion Drive, McLean Virginia (the "McLean Branch"). As part of the transaction, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Century National Bank assumed approximately $28.0 million in deposits at the McLean Branch, and also assumed the obligations under the related lease and acquired approximately $9.0 million in mortgage loans from Eastern American's portfolio, in addition to $0.2 million in equipment and other assets. The assumption of the deposits and other liabilities by the Bank was made pursuant to a Purchase and Assumption Agreement between the Bank and Eastern American dated July 24, 1997, as amended August 15, 1997 and October 10, 1997. In consideration of the assumption of the deposits and liabilities, Eastern American made a cash transfer to the Bank on the closing date of approximately $17.3 million, representing the total amount of the liabilities assumed, less the sum on the closing date of (i) the value of the vault cash at the McLean Branch, (ii) the net book value of the leasehold improvements and the personal property located at the McLean Branch, (iii) the amount of the security deposit related to the lease of the McLean Branch, (iv) the unpaid balance of the designated mortgage loans and certain overdraft protection loans, (v) certain proration items, and (vi) a deposit premium of approximately $1.5 million, equal to 5.6% of the balance of the deposits assumed as of the closing date, excluding deposits of affiliates of Eastern American and certain other types of deposits. The acquisition premium of $1.5 million is being amortized over the estimated 10 year life of the deposit account relationship on a straight-line basis. Total accumulated amortization at December 31, 1998 was approximately $185,000, as the amount of amortization expense was $153,000 in 1998 and $32,000 in 1997. -55- CENTURY BANCSHARES, INC.
