PART I
Item 1. Description of Business

General

Old Point Financial Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated under
the laws of Virginia on February 16, 1984, for the purpose of
acquiring all the outstanding common stock of The Old Point National
Bank of Phoebus (the "Bank"), in connection with the reorganization of
the Bank into a one bank holding company structure. At the annual
meeting of the stockholders on March 27, 1984, the proposed
reorganization was approved by the requisite stockholder vote. At the
effective date of the reorganization on October 1, 1984, the Bank
merged into a newly formed national bank as a wholly owned subsidiary
of the Company, with each outstanding share of common stock of the
Bank being converted into five shares of common stock of the Company.

The Company has no other subsidiaries and does not engage in any
activities other than acting as a holding company for the common stock
of the Bank. The principal business of the Company is conducted
through the Bank, which continues to conduct its business in
substantially the same manner and from the same offices as it had done
before the effective date of the reorganization. The Bank, therefore,
accounts for substantially all of the consolidated assets and revenues
of the Company.

The Bank is a national banking association founded in 1922. The Bank
has thirteen offices 1in the cities of Hampton and Newport News, and
in James City and York County, Virginia, and provides a full range of
banking and related financial services, including checking, savings,
certificates of deposit, and other depository services, commercial,
industrial, residential real estate and consumer loan services,
safekeeping services and trust and estate services.

As of December 31, 1997, the Company had assets of $348.7 million,
loans of $221.7 million, deposits of $287.1 million, and stockholders'
equity of $36.3 million. At year end, the Company and the Bank had a
total of 221 employees, 42 of whom were part-time.

Based on 1990 census figures, the population of the Bank's trade area,
which includes Hampton, Newport News, Williamsburg, and James City and
York County was approximately 394,000. This area's economy is heavily
influenced by the two largest employers; military installations and
shipbuilding and ship repair. These industries are impacted by
reductions in defense spending and personnel. Some of our customers
are either employed at the various military installations or at the
shipyard, or they derive some or all of their business from these two
major employers. There are numerous military installations in the
area including Fort Monroe, Langley Air Force Base, and Fort Eustis.
The consolidation of the Tactical Air Command and the Strategic Air
Command into the Air Combat Command at Langley has somewhat mitigated
the reduction in military employment in the area. The largest private
employer on the Peninsula is the Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock
Company, which currently employees approximately 16,000 people.

The banking industry is highly competitive in the Hampton/Newport
News/Williamsburg area. There are approximately nine 2commercial
banks actively engaged in business in the area in which the Bank
operates, including six major statewide banking organizations.

The Bank encounters competition for deposits and loans from banks,
savings and loan associations and credit unions in the communities in
which it operates. In addition, the Bank must compete for deposits in
some instances with the money market mutual funds which are marketed
nationally.

The Bank is subject to regulation and examination by the Office of the
Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Reserve Board (the "Board"),
and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC").
1
As  a  bank  holding company within the meaning of  the  Bank  Holding
Company Act of 1956, the Company is subject to the ongoing regulation,
supervision, and examination by the Federal Reserve Board (the
"Board"). The Company is required to file with the Board periodic and
annual reports and other information concerning its own business
operations and those of its subsidiaries. In addition, prior Board
approval must be obtained before the Company can acquire (i) ownership
or control of any voting shares of another bank if, after such
acquisition, it would control more than 5% of such shares, or (ii) all
or substantially all of the assets of another bank or merge or
consolidate with another bank holding company. A bank holding company
is prohibited under the Bank Holding Company Act, with limited
exceptions, from engaging in activities other than those of banking or
of managing or controlling banks or furnishing services to its
subsidiaries.

The  Company  was liability sensitive as of December 31, 1997.   There
were $85.6 million more in liabilities than assets subject to
repricing within three months. This generally indicates that net
interest income should improve if interest rates fall since
liabilities will reprice faster than assets .It should be noted,
however, that savings deposits; which consist of interest bearing
transactions accounts, money market accounts, and savings accounts;
are less interest sensitive than other market driven deposits. In a
rising rate environment these deposit rates have historically lagged
behind the changes in earning asset rates, thus mitigating somewhat
the impact from the liability sensitivity position.

</TABLE>

Loans are placed in nonaccrual status if principal or interest has
been in default for a period of 90 days or more unless the
obligation is both well secured and in the process of collection.
A debt is "well secured" if it is secured (i) by collateral in the
form of liens on or pledges of real or personal property, including
securities, that have a realizable value sufficient to discharge
the debt in full or (ii) by the guaranty of a financially
responsible party. A debt is "in the process of collection" if
collection of the debt is proceeding in due course either through
legal action, including judgment enforcement procedures, or, in
appropriate circumstances, through collection efforts not involving
legal action which are reasonably expected to result in repayment
of the debt or in its restoration to a current status.

Potential problem loans consist of loans that, because of potential
credit problems of the borrowers, have caused management to have
serious doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with
the loan repayment terms. At December 31, 1997 such problem loans,
not included in Table VII, amounted to approximately $2.5 million.
The potential problem loans included two relationships in excess of
$500 thousand. The potential problem loans are generally secured
by residential and commercial real estate with appraised values
exceeding the principal balance of the loan.

IV. Summary of Loan Loss Experience

The determination of the balance of the Allowance for Loan Losses
is based upon a review and analysis of the loan portfolio and
reflects an amount which, in management's judgment, is adequate to
provide for possible future losses. Management's review includes
monthly analysis of past due and nonaccrual loans and detailed
periodic loan by loan analyses.

The principal factors considered by management in determining the
adequacy of the allowance are the growth and composition of the
loan portfolio, historical loss experience, the level of
nonperforming loans, economic conditions, the value and adequacy of
collateral, and the current level of the allowance.

Item 7 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

The following discussion is intended to assist readers in
understanding and evaluating the consolidated results of operations
and financial condition of the Company. This discussion should be
read in conjunction with the financial statements and other financial
information contained elsewhere in this report. The analysis attempts
to identify trends and material changes which occurred during the
period presented.

EARNINGS SUMMARY
Net income was $4.09 million, or $1.60 per share in 1997 compared to
$3.45 million, or $1.35 per share in 1996 and $2.34 million, or $0.92
per share in 1995. Return on average assets was 1.23% in 1997, 1.10%
in 1996 and 0.80% in 1995. Return on average equity was 11.88% in
1997, 10.99% in 1996 and 8.07% in 1995. For the past five years
return on average assets has averaged 0.99% and return on average
equity has averaged 10.05%. Selected Financial Highlights summarizes
the Company's performance for the past five years.

NET INTEREST INCOME
The principal source of earnings for the Company is net interest
income. Net interest income is the difference between interest and
fees generated by earning assets and interest expense paid to fund
them. Net interest income, on a tax equivalent basis, was $15.30
million in 1997, up $1.48 million, or 11% from $13.82 million in 1996
which was up $1.42 million, or 11% from $12.40 million in 1995. Net
interest income is affected by variations in interest rates and the
volume and mix of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.
The net interest yield increased to 4.91% in 1997 from 4.75% in 1996
which was up from 4.56% in 1995.

Tax equivalent interest income increased $2.07 million, or 9%, in
1997. Average earning assets grew $21.26 million, or 7%. Total
average loans increased $17.99 million, or 9%, while average
investment securities increased $2.27 million, or 2%. Interest income
increased in 1997 by eleven basis points primarily due to the
collection of interest on nonaccrual loans.

Interest expense increased $588 thousand, or 6%, in 1997.
Interest bearing liabilities also increased 6% in 1997. The cost of
funding liabilities increased two basis points due to the higher cost
of federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to
repurchase and payments on interest bearing deposit accounts.

PROVISION/ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
Provision for loan losses is a charge against earnings necessary
to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level consistent with
management's evaluation of the loan portfolio. There was no change in
the provision, remaining at $600 thousand in 1997 and 1996 which was
down from $825 thousand in 1995.

Loans charged off during 1997 totalled $868 thousand compared to
$925 thousand in 1996 and $1.72 million in 1995, while recoveries
amounted to $609 thousand in 1997, $404 thousand in 1996 and $499
thousand in 1995. During 1996 a large portion of the charge offs were
in the installment loans to individuals portfolio which is comprised
of loans to individuals for personal expenditures such as household
furniture and appliances and automobiles. The portfolio includes
indirect dealer loans which accounted for $35 million of $58 million
in 1996 and $34 million of $67 million in 1997. During 1996 the
Company experienced a significant increase in personal bankruptcies
leading to higher charge offs of indirect dealer loans. Since the
beginning of 1996 the underwriting standards for dealer loans has been
raised thus reducing indirect dealer loans charged off by $186
thousand or 44% in 1997 from 1996.

The Company's net loans charged off to year-end loans were 0.12% in
1997, 0.26% in 1996, and 0.64% in 1995. The allowance for loan
losses, as a percentage of year-end loans, was 1.20% in 1997, 1.17% in
1996, and 1.19% in 1995.
15
As  of  December 31, 1997, nonperforming assets were $1.43 million,
down from $1.90 million at year-end 1996 which was down from $3.40
million at year-end 1995. Nonperforming assets consist of loans in
nonaccrual status and other real estate. The 1997 total consisted of
other real estate of $774 thousand and $660 thousand in nonaccrual
loans. The other real estate consisted of $354 thousand in a
commercial property originally acquired as a potential branch site and
now held for sale and $420 thousand in foreclosed real estate.
Nonaccrual loans consisted of $47 thousand in commercial loans and
$613 thousand in mortgage loans. The Company has aggressively dealt
with these credits and specific action plans have been developed for
each of these classified loans to address any deficiencies. Loans
still accruing interest but past due 90 days or more decreased to $455
thousand as of December 31, 1997 compared to $1.34 million as of
December 31, 1996, but increased from $248 thousand as of December 31,
1995.

The allowance for loan losses is analyzed for adequacy on a
quarterly basis to determine the required amount of provision for loan
losses. A loan-by-loan review is conducted on all significant
classified commercial and mortgage loans. Inherent losses on these
individual loans are determined and an allocation of the allowance is
provided. Smaller nonclassified commercial and mortgage loans and all
consumer loans are grouped by homogeneous pools with an allocation
assigned to each pool based on an analysis of historical loss and
delinquency experience, trends, economic conditions, underwriting
standards, and other factors.

OTHER INCOME
Other income increased $138 thousand, or 3% in 1997 from 1996
compared to an increase of $291 thousand, or 8% in 1996 from 1995.
The 1997 increase was due to higher Trust Services fees and other
service charge income. The 1996 increase was due primarily to Trust
Services fees and mortgage brokerage income.

OTHER EXPENSES
Other expenses increased $638 thousand or 5% in 1997 over 1996 after
increasing 2% in 1996 from 1995. Salaries and employee benefits
increased $264 or 4% in 1997 due to normal salary increases and higher
medical insurance costs. Occupancy expense increased $78 thousand, or
10% in 1997 primarily due to higher maintenance costs associated with
repairs and remodeling of bank buildings. Equipment expense increased
$65 thousand or 6% due to higher depreciation expense on new computer
systems and related service contracts. Other operating expenses
increased $231 thousand or 8%. Legal fees, postage and freight,
advertising, and marketing were the major factors for the increase in
other operating expenses. The increase in legal fees is due higher
litigation fees. The increase in advertising and marketing is related
to generating loan and deposit growth. The increase in postage and
freight is due to higher postage rates and increased mailings.

ASSETS
At December 31, 1997, the Company had total assets of $348.7
million, up 10% from $316.3 million at December 31, 1996. Average
assets in 1997 were $332.2 million compared to $313.0 million in 1996.
The growth in assets in 1997 was due to the increase in average loans,
which were up 9%.

During 1996 the Company acquired land in the Oyster Point area of
Newport News to build a 15,000 square foot office building. When
completed in mid 1998 the new facility will house the Bank's
commercial and real estate lending offices and Trust and Financial
Services. The Company has signed a contract to purchase a branch site
in Norge, VA. The Company plans to build a new branch of
approximately 2,500 square feet. The branch will provide full service
banking including consumer and business services.

million at December 31, 1996. All categories of loans increased
during 1997 except tax exempt loans and real estate mortgages.

up 1% from $95.1 million on December 31, 1996. The goal of the
Company is to provide maximum return on the investment portfolio
within the framework of its asset/liability objectives. These
objectives include managing interest sensitivity, liquidity and
pledging requirements. Footnote 2 of the financial statements details
the composition of the investment portfolio for the past two years.

has not been extensively traded. The stock has not been listed on an
exchange and was not quoted by NASDAQ. Bid and ask prices have not
been available for the Company. The volume of trading of the stock
has therefore been limited. The prices below are based upon a limited
number of transactions known to Management during the past two years.

The stock has been approved by the National Association of Security
Dealers, Inc. (NASD) for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board.

LIQUIDITY
Liquidity is the ability of the Company to meet present and future
obligations through the acquisition of additional liabilities or sale
of existing assets. Management considers the liquidity of the Company
to be adequate. Sufficient assets are maintained on a short-term
basis to meet the liquidity demands anticipated by Management. In
addition, secondary sources are available through the use of borrowed
funds if the need should arise.

EFFECTS OF INFLATION
Management believes that the key to achieving satisfactory
performance in an inflationary environment is its ability to maintain
or improve its net interest margin and to generate additional fee
income. The Company's policy of investing in and funding with
interest-sensitive assets and liabilities is intended to reduce the
risks inherent in a volatile inflationary economy.

YEAR 2000
The "Year 2000" problem relates to the fact that many computer
programs use two digits to define a year and assume that the century
is 1900. Therefore, these programs will not recognize the turn of the
century. For example, the year 1998 is defined as "98" and the year
2003 is defined as "03". Because the assumed century is 1900
computers recognize the year 2003, defined as "03", as 1903. The
Company is aware of the Year 2000 problem and is taking action to
ensure that all of its computer hardware and software will be Year
2000 compliant. The Company has a five-step plan to identify,
correct, upgrade and test all of its hardware and software by the end
of 1998. A Year 2000 project team has been assembled which meets on a
monthly basis to monitor progress and address any new issues that
might arise.

The Company has identified and cataloged all of its hardware and
software. Software and hardware that is not Year 2000 compliant is
being identified and plans are being developed to upgrade and/or
replace hardware and software that is not Year 2000 compliant.
Additionally, the Company's vendors and major customers are being
contacted to determine their Year 2000 efforts so that the Company can
plan accordingly.

Operating and capital budgets incorporate projected expenditures
necessary to ensure that all systems are Year 2000 compliant. At this
time management does not believe that related expenditures will have
an adverse material effect on the Company.

financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted

perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the consolidated financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,

financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to
above, present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated

$18.13 to $20.75 per share and the weighted average remaining contractual
life was 8 years.

NOTE 8, Stock Option Plan (Continued)

The Company accounts for its stock option plans in accordance with APB
Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, which does not
allocate costs to stock options granted at current market values. The
Company could, as an alternative, allocate costs to stock options using
option pricing models, as provided in Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Because of
the limited number of options granted and the limited amount of trading
activity in the Company's stock, management believes that stock options
are best accounted for in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25. However,
had the stock options been accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 123,
pro-forma amounts for net earnings and earnings per share would have been
as follows for each of the years ending December 31:

1997 1996 1995
Pro-forma net income
(in thousands) $4,041 $3,401 $2,313
======= ====== =======

Pro-forma earnings per share $1.57 $1.33 $0.91
===== ===== =====

Pro-forma amounts were computed using a 6% risk free interest rate over a
10 year term using an annual dividend rate of between 1.74% and 1.92%
and a .01% volatility rate.

The pro-forma effect of the potential exercise of stock options on basic
earnings per share would be to increase the number of weighted average
number of outstanding shares by approximately 14,000 in 1997, 16,000 in
1996, and 9,000 in 1995.

The Company also has an Employee Stock Purchase Plan which reserves 70,968
shares of common stock for eligible employees. The purchase price is 95%
of the lesser of (1) the common stock's fair market value at July 1 or (2)
the common stock's fair market value at the following June 30.
During 1997, 4,032 shares of common stock were purchased by employees.

NOTE 12, Profit Sharing

The Bank has a defined contribution profit sharing and thrift plan
covering substantially all of its employees. The Bank may make profit
sharing contributions to the plan as determined by the board of
directors. In addition, the Bank matches thrift contributions by
employees fifty cents for each dollar contributed. Expenses related
to the plan totaled $258 thousand and $261 thousand in 1997
and 1996, respectively.


30
NOTE 13, Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Bank makes various commitments
and incurs certain contingent liabilities. These commitments and
contingencies represent off-balance sheet risk for the Bank. To meet
the financing needs of its customers, the Bank makes lending commitments
under commercial lines of credit, home equity loans and construction and
development loans. The Bank also incurs contingent liabilities related
to irrevocable letters of credit.

Off- balance sheet items at December 31, are as follows:

1997 1996
(Dollars in Thousands)
Commitments to extend credit:
Home equity lines of credit $ 9,748 $ 9,442
Construction and development
loans committed but not funded 7,124 5,228
Other lines of credit
(principally commercial) 19,556 19,201
------- -------
$36,428 $33,871
======= =======

Irrevocable letters of credit $ 822 $ 1,071
====== =======

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as
long as there is no violation of any condition established in the
contract. Commitments generally 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. The Bank evaluates each customer's credit worthiness
on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed
necessary by the Bank, upon extensions of credit is based on management's
credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies but may include
accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and
income-producing commercial properties.

Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written are conditional
commitments issued by the bank to guarantee the performance of a customer
to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support private
borrowing agreements. Most guarantees extend for less than two years and
expire in decreasing amounts through 1998. The credit risk involved in
issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in
extending loans to customers. The Bank holds various collateral supporting
those commitments for which collateral is deemed necessary.

NOTE 14, Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The estimated fair value of the Bank's financial instruments at
December 31, are as follows:

The above presentation of fair values is required by the Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 "Disclosures about Market
Values of Financial Instruments". The fair values shown do not
necessarily represent the amounts which would be received on sale
or other disposition of the instrument.

The carrying amounts of cash and due for banks, federal funds sold,
demand and savings deposits and securities sold under repurchase
agreements represent items which do not present significant market
risks, are payable on demand or are of such short duration that the
market value approximates carrying value.

Investment securities are valued at the quoted market price for individual
securities held.

The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting future cash flows
using current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers.

Certificates of deposit are presented at estimated fair value using rates
currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

NOTE 15, Regulatory Matters

The Company is required to maintain minimum amounts of capital to
"risk weighted" assets, as defined by the banking regulators. At
December 31, 1997, the Company is required to have minimum Tier 1
and Total capital ratios of 4.00% and 8.00% respectively. The
Company's actual ratios at that date were 15.06% and 16.19%.
The Company's leverage ratio at December 31, 1997 was 10.32%.

The approval of the Comptroller of the Currency is required if the
total of all dividends declared by a national bank in any calendar
year exceeds the bank's net profits for that year combined with its
retained net profits for the preceding two calendar years. Under
this formula, the banking subsidiary can distribute as dividends to
the Company in 1998, without approval of the Comptroller of the
Currency, $5.6 million plus an additional amount equal to the Bank's
retained net profits for 1998 up to the date of any dividend declaration.

Item   12.  Security  Ownership  of  Certain  Beneficial  Owners   and
Management

Security ownership of certain beneficial owners and management is
detailed in Part III, Item 10. of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.


Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

Some of the Company directors, executive officers, and members of
their immediate families, and corporations, partnerships and other
entities of which such persons are officers, directors, partners,
trustees, executors or beneficiaries, are customers of the Bank. As of
December 31, 1997, borrowing by all policy making officers and
directors amounted to $1.9 million. This amount represented 5.0% of
the total equity capital accounts of the Company as of December 31,
1997. All loans and commitments to lend included in such transactions
were made in the ordinary course of business, upon substantially the
same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those
prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons
and did not involve more than normal risk of collectibility or present
other unfavorable features. It is the policy of the Bank to provide
loans to officers who are not executive officers and to employees at
more favorable rates than those prevailing at the time for comparable
transactions with other persons. These loans do not involve more than
the normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable
features. The Bank expects to have in the future similar banking
transactions with directors, officers, principal stockholders and
their associates.

The law firm of Cumming, Hatchett and Jordan, P.C. serves as
legal counsel to the Bank. Mr. Eugene M. Jordan is a member of the
firm. During 1997, the firm received from the Bank a retainer and fees
totalling $85,576. Morgan-Marrow Company, of which John B. Morgan, II
is President, provided insurance for which the Bank paid $98,785
during 1997. Hampton stationery, of which John Cabot Ishon is the
owner, Geddy, Harris & Geddy, of which Stephen D. Harris is a partner,
and Warwick Plumbing & Heating Corp of which G. Royden Goodson, III is
President provided products and services to the Bank during 1997.
