                     Investment Opportunity Close to Home



Annapolis, May 17, 2000 -- Annapolis National Bancorp, Inc. today announced a
stock repurchase program under which the Corporation will acquire up to 5% of
its outstanding common stock, or 116,175 shares.

Annapolis National Bancorp CEO Richard M. Lerner said that the repurchase
program, authorized by the Corporation's Board of Directors, could be completed
within four months.  The Board expects that a reduction in the number of shares
of outstanding stock will increase the Corporation's per share earnings and book
value, Lerner said.

"The Board considers the Corporation's common stock to be an attractive
investment, given the price range in which it has traded recently," Lerner said.
Annapolis National Bancorp's share price closed at 4 1/8 on May 16, 2000.  Book
value per share as of March 31, 2000 was $5.52.  The Corporation's common stock
trades on the NASDAQ SmallCap market under the ticker symbol "ANNB."

According to Lerner, the repurchases generally will be effected through open
market purchases, although he did not rule out the possibility of unsolicited
negotiated transactions or

other types of repurchases. The extent of the repurchase program will depend on
market conditions, Lerner said, and the exact number of shares the Corporation
will repurchase is not guaranteed.

Lerner characterized the stock repurchase program as "part of Annapolis National
Bancorp's ongoing efforts to enhance shareholder value and invest our resources
in the most efficient manner possible."

Annapolis National Bancorp is the parent company of Annapolis National Bank and
is based in Annapolis, where it recently broke ground on a new headquarters
building at the intersection of Bestgate Road and Generals Highway opposite the
Annapolis Mall.
