     James Monroe  Bancorp,  Inc. is the holding  company for James Monroe Bank,
Arlington, Virginia.


     James Monroe Bancorp is offering to sell 344,828 newly issued shares of its
common  stock at a price of $14.50  per share.  If the  volume of  subscriptions
exceeds  the  number of  shares  offered,  we may also sell up to an  additional

placed in an escrow  account  at James  Monroe  Bank  under  the  control  of an
independent  third  party.  If all or a  portion  of  your  subscription  is not

                                     SUMMARY

     This summary presents selected information from this prospectus. You should
carefully read this entire document in order to understand  this offering.  This
summary  includes page references  that direct you to more complete  discussions
elsewhere in this document.


                                  THE OFFERING


     Shares  Offered.  James Monroe  Bancorp is offering to sell  344,828  newly
issued shares of its common stock.  If the volume of  subscriptions  exceeds the
amount offered, we may also sell up to an additional 137,930 newly issued shares
of  common  stock.  If all  shares  offered  are  sold,  the  number  of  shares
outstanding  after the offering  will be  1,089,118,  or 1,227,048 if all of the
oversubscription shares are sold.

     Price per Share.  We are  offering to sell the common  stock for $14.50 per
share.

     Market for the Common Stock. The common stock is not traded on any exchange
or in any  organized  market.  We do not expect that there will be an  organized
market for the common  stock upon  completion  of the  offering.  Trading in the
common  stock has been  sporadic,  and the prices at which the common  stock has
traded do not necessarily reflect the value of the common stock. See "Market for
Common Stock and Dividends" at page 16

     Determination of Offering Price. The price at which we are offering to sell
the common stock was not  determined  as a result of third party  evaluation  or
negotiations, or by reference to the market price of the common stock. The Board
of  Directors  considered  a number of factors in setting  the  offering  price,
including the price of recent trades known to have  occurred,  the book value of
the common stock,  the price to earnings and price to book ratios of other newly
formed banks and other institutions we deemed to be comparable, and our estimate
of our earnings prospects.  The offering price, therefore,  does not necessarily
reflect the market value of the common stock. See "The Offering -- Determination
of Offering  Price" at page 11 Prior to this  offering all shares were issued at
$10.00 per share, and all options have exercise prices of $10.00 per share.

     Proceeds of the Offering.  The net proceeds of the offering to James Monroe
Bancorp will be approximately $4,890,000 if the offering is fully subscribed, or
approximately  $6,890,000 if all of the oversubscription  shares are sold, after
deduction of estimated  expenses of the offering.  See "The Offering -- General"
at page 8

     No Minimum Offering.  There is no minimum total number of shares which must
be sold in the offering. The offering is not underwritten,  and no broker-dealer
or other person is obligated  to purchase  any shares in the  offering.  See and
"The Offering -- General -- No Minimum Offering" at page 8

     Director and Officer  Subscriptions.  Our directors and executive  officers
currently  intend to purchase at least 101,375 shares in the offering.  See "The
Offering -- General -- Intentions of Directors,  Executive  Officers and Others"
at page 12

     Minimum and Maximum  Subscription.  The minimum  number of shares for which
any person may subscribe is 400, although we may permit smaller subscriptions in
our discretion. There is no maximum number of shares for which any person or any
group of affiliated or related persons may subscribe. We may, however, reduce or
reject  any  subscription  in whole or in part.  If you  would  own more  than a
certain  percentage of the common stock after the  offering,  usually 5% or 10%,
you may be required to file  applications  with state or federal bank regulatory
agencies  as a condition  of the  purchase.  We reserve the right to reduce,  or
reject,  in  whole  or in part,  any  subscription  which  would  require  prior
regulatory application or approval if such approval is not obtained prior to the
termination of the offering. See "The Offering -- General" at page 8

     Term of the Offering. The offering will run until October 16, 2000, or such
later date as the Board of


                                       1

<PAGE>


Directors may determine, but not later than November 15, 2000. See "The Offering
-- General" at page 8

     Escrow Account. Until the closing of the offering,  subscription funds will
be held in an escrow  account  at James  Monroe  Bank  under the  control  of an
independent  escrow  agent.  If  the  offering  is  not  completed,  or if  your
subscription is not accepted,  your subscription funds will be promptly returned
without  interest or deduction,  except that interest will be paid to the extent
that  law,  regulation  or  administrative  policy  of your  state of  residence
specifically requires. The closing may not occur until as late as the end of the
term of the offering.  See "The Offering -- Escrow Agreement;  Release of Funds;
No Interest on Subscription Funds" at page 10

     How to  Subscribe.  To  subscribe  for  shares,  you  should  complete  the
subscription  agreement  accompanying  this prospectus and submit it, along with
payment in full for the shares, to:

                   Richard I. Linhart, Subscription Agent for
                           James Monroe Bancorp, Inc.
                              3033 Wilson Boulevard
                            Arlington, Virginia 22201

prior to the  expiration of the offering.  You should make your check payable to
"James Monroe Bancorp,  Inc. Escrow  Account." You should  carefully  follow the
instructions  contained in this  prospectus  under the caption "The Offering" at
page 8 and those included on the subscription agreement.

     Use of Proceeds.  We intend to use the net  proceeds  from the offering for
general corporate purposes, which will include an immediate capital contribution
of the first $1 million of net  proceeds of the  offering to James  Monroe Bank,
our  subsidiary  bank,  for  use  in  its  lending  and  investment  activities.
Additional  proceeds will be held for future  contribution  to James Monroe Bank
and for other corporate purposes.  Other than contributions to James Monroe Bank
for use in connection  with the  expansion of its business,  we have no specific
plans for any part of the  proceeds of the  offering.  Until we use the proceeds
for these  purposes,  we may  invest the net  proceeds  in a variety of short to
medium term,  interest-bearing  assets,  including  federal funds  transactions,
interest-bearing  deposits in other banks, and similar investments.  See "Use of
Proceeds" at page 13.

                           JAMES MONROE BANCORP, INC.

                           JAMES MONROE BANCORP, INC.
                              3033 Wilson Boulevard
                            Arlington, Virginia 22201
                                  703.524.8100

     James  Monroe  Bancorp  is a  one-bank  holding  company  headquartered  in
Arlington, Virginia. We provide general commercial and consumer banking services
through our wholly owned  banking  subsidiary,  James  Monroe  Bank,  Arlington,
Virginia.  James Monroe Bancorp was organized on April 9, 1999 to be the holding
company for James Monroe Bank.

     James Monroe Bank was organized  and opened for business in June 1998,  and
became a wholly owned  subsidiary  of James Monroe  Bancorp on July 1, 1999.  At
March 31, 2000, we had consolidated  assets of $61.3 million,  deposits of $54.3
million, and shareholders'  equity of $6.7 million.  See "Selected  Consolidated
Financial  Data" at page 7,  "Management's  Discussion and Analysis" at page 17,
and "Consolidated Financial Statements" beginning on page F - 1.

     James  Monroe  Bank,  our sole  subsidiary,  is an  independent,  community
oriented full service financial  institution.  It conducts a general  commercial
and  consumer  banking  business.  These  services  include  the  usual  deposit
functions  of  commercial  banks,   including  business  and  personal  checking
accounts,  "NOW" accounts and savings  accounts;  business and commercial loans,
residential  mortgages and consumer loans and cash  management  services.  James
Monroe  Bank is a  Virginia  chartered  bank  which is a member  of the  Federal
Reserve  System,  and its deposits are insured by the Bank Insurance Fund of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. See "Business of James Monroe Bancorp and
James Monroe Bank" at page 28.

     While James Monroe Bank served both commercial and consumer customers,  its
primary business focus is on lending to small and medium sized businesses in its
market area. This is evidenced by the composition of the loan portfolio at March
31, 2000,  which  consisted  of 10.8%  consumer  installment,  mortgage and home
equity loans and 89.2% of loans to commercial customers.

     James Monroe Bank's primary service area is Arlington and Fairfax  counties
in  Virginia,  and the  surrounding  Northern  Virginia  counties  and  suburban
Washington DC  metropolitan  area.  James Monroe Bank operates  through its main
office in Arlington,


                                       2

Virginia, and one branch office located in Annandale, Virginia.

     Recent  Developments.  For the quarter ended June 30, 2000, we had earnings
of $212 thousand, or $0.28 per share. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, we
earned a total of $324  thousand,  or $0.42 per share At June 30,  2000,  we had
consolidated  assets of $69.8 million,  including  total loans of $42.9 million,
deposits  of $62.5  million,  and  shareholders'  equity  of $6.9  million.  See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis -- Recent Developments" at page 28.

                                  RISK FACTORS

     An  investment  in the common  stock  involves  various  risks.  You should
carefully  consider the risk factors listed below.  These risk factors may cause
James Monroe Bancorp's future earnings to be lower or its financial condition to
be less favorable than it expects. In addition,  other risks of which we are not
aware, which relate to the banking and financial services industries in general,
or which we do not believe are material,  may cause our earnings to be lower, or
hurt our future financial condition.  You should read this section together with
the other information in this prospectus.

     AN ACTIVE PUBLIC MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK DOES NOT CURRENTLY  EXIST, AND
WILL PROBABLY NOT EXIST AFTER THE OFFERING. AS A RESULT, SHAREHOLDERS MAY NOT BE
ABLE TO EASILY SELL THEIR COMMON STOCK.

     While the common stock will be freely transferable by most shareholders, we
do not expect that there will be an active  market for trading the common  stock
following the offering.  We cannot be sure that an active or established trading
market will develop  following  completion of the offering,  or if one develops,
that it will  continue,  or whether the price of the common stock will be higher
or lower than the  offering  price.  The common  stock will not be listed on The
Nasdaq  National  Market,  The Nasdaq  SmallCap  Market or any other  securities
market upon  completion of the offering.  There can be no assurance that trading
in the  over-the-counter  market,  through brokers or through market makers will
develop.  As a result,  an  investment  in the  common  stock may be  relatively
illiquid. See "The Offering -- Limited Market for Common Stock" at page 9.

     NO BROKER HAS AGREED TO PURCHASE  ANY OF THE COMMON STOCK AND WE MAY NOT BE
ABLE TO SELL ALL THE SHARES IN THE  OFFERING.  OUR FUTURE  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED IF LESS THAN ALL OF THE OFFERED SHARES ARE SOLD.

     The  common  stock is being  sold  directly,  through  the  efforts  of our
directors  and  executive  officers.  No  broker-dealer  or other person has any
obligation to purchase,  or find purchasers for, any shares of common stock. See
"The Offering -- Manner of Distribution" at page 12.

     Because the offering is not  underwritten,  there can be no assurance  that
any  particular  number of shares  will be sold.  If less than all of the shares
offered are  subscribed  for, we will have less capital to fund  operations  and
growth, which could result in restricted or slower growth for James Monroe Bank,
slower  expansion of  activities,  and lower  shareholder  returns.  We could be
required to raise additional  capital earlier than it would if all of the shares
offered are sold. See "The Offering" at page 7.

     AS A RESULT OF THEIR LEVEL OF SHARE OWNERSHIP,  OUR DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE
OFFICERS  COULD MAKE IT MORE  DIFFICULT TO OBTAIN  APPROVAL FOR CERTAIN  MATTERS
SUBMITTED TO  SHAREHOLDER  VOTE,  INCLUDING  VOTES ON SOME  ACQUISITIONS  OF THE
COMPANY.  THE RESULTS OF THE VOTE MAY BE CONTRARY TO THE DESIRES OR INTERESTS OF
THE PUBLIC SHAREHOLDERS.

     Following completion of the offering,  our directors and executive officers
of and their  affiliates will own at least 22.36% and possibly as much as 32.44%
of the  outstanding  shares of common  stock,  assuming  that they  purchase the
number of shares in the offering which they currently intend.  These persons may
purchase a greater or lesser number of shares in the offering.

     See "Share Ownership of Directors,  Officers and Certain Beneficial Owners"
at page 37.

     By voting against a proposal  submitted to shareholders,  the directors and
officers,  as a group, may be able to make approval more difficult for proposals
requiring the vote of shareholders,  such as mergers,  share exchanges,  certain
asset  sales,  and certain  amendments  to James  Monroe  Bancorp's  Articles of
Incorporation.  See  "Description of Capital Stock -- Certain  Provisions of the
Articles of Incorporation and Virginia Law" at page 42.

     The ownership of common stock,  and purchase of shares in the offering,  by
directors and executive officers does not necessarily mean that an investment in
the common stock is appropriate for any other investor.

     CONSUMMATION OF THE OFFERING IS NOT SUBJECT TO THE RECEIPT OF SUBSCRIPTIONS
FOR A MINIMUM NUMBER OF SHARES.  SUBSCRIBERS WILL BE REQUIRED TO PURCHASE SHARES
EVEN IF LESS THAN ALL OF THE SHARES OFFERED ARE SOLD. A SUBSCRIBER MAY BE ONE OF
ONLY A SMALL NUMBER OF PURCHASERS IN THE OFFERING.

     There is no minimum number of shares that must be sold in the offering, and
subscriptions,  once received,  are  irrevocable.  The offering may be completed
even if  substantially  less than the total number of shares offered is sold. If
this  happens,  our capital  would not be increased to the extent it would be if
all of the shares being offered were sold. Once made,  subscriptions will not be
revocable by subscribers, and

                                       4
<PAGE>

we  intend to  accept  subscriptions  even if the  offering  has not been  fully
subscribed. See "The Offering" at page 7.

     Although  directors and  executive  officers  currently  intend to purchase
shares in the  offering,  they are not  obligated to  subscribe  for any shares.
Subscribers  will be  required  to purchase  shares  even if the  directors  and
executive officers do not purchase as many shares as currently intended.

WE HAVE ONLY A  LIMITED  OPERATING  HISTORY,  AND AS A  RESULT,  OUT  HISTORICAL
RESULTS OF OPERATION MAY NOT BE INDICATIVE OF OUR FUTURE PERFORMANCE.

     James Monroe Bank, our sole operating business,  has been in operation only
since June 1998. Our future results of operations are not necessarily  indicated
by those  during this brief  period.  We may not be able to maintain the rate of
growth,  interest  rate  spreads,  levels of loan losses and problem  assets and
other favorable factors which we have achieved since June 1998.

     THE BOOK VALUE OF A SHARE OF COMMON STOCK AFTER THE OFFERING  WILL BE LOWER
THAN THE PRICE PAID FOR SHARES IN THE OFFERING.

     If all of the shares being  offered are sold,  then book value per share at
March 31, 2000,  after giving effect to  completion  of the  offering,  would be
$10.62 per share. The  post-offering  book value would be less than the offering
price, and accordingly,  investors in the offering would experience  dilution of
$3.88, or 26.76%,  per share,  calculated on the basis of the difference between
the offering  price and book value.  If fewer than all of the shares offered are
sold,  book  value  per  share  will be lower  and you will  experience  greater
dilution. See "Dilution" at page 13.

     THE  OFFERING  PRICE  WAS  DETERMINED  BY THE  BOARD  OF  DIRECTORS  IN ITS
DISCRETION, AND DOES NOT NECESSARILY REFLECT THE FAIR MARKET VALUE OF THE COMMON
STOCK.  THEREFORE,  YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SELL THE COMMON STOCK AT THE OFFERING
PRICE FOLLOWING THE OFFERING.

     The Board of Directors  considered a number of factors in  determining  the
offering price for the common stock, including,  but not limited to the price of
recent trades known to have  occurred,  the book value of the common stock,  the
price to earnings and price to book ratios of other newly formed banks and other
institutions  we deemed  to be  comparable,  and our  estimate  of our  earnings
prospects.  No  independent  third party or  negotiations  were  involved in the
determination  of  the  offering  price,  and  the  price  therefore,  does  not
necessarily reflect the market value of the common stock.

     The price at which the common stock trades after the offering may be higher
or lower than the offering  price.  You may not be able to sell the common stock
at or before the offering price after the offering.

     OUR LOAN  PORTFOLIO HAS GROWN  RAPIDLY SINCE JAMES MONROE BANK OPENED,  AND
CONSISTS ALMOST ENTIRELY  OF LOANS WHICH ARE LESS THAN TWO YEARS OLD. BECAUSE OF
THE UNSEASONED NATURE OF OUR PORTFOLIO, WEAKNESSES IN LOANS WHICH MAY ULTIMATELY
CAUSE LOSSES HAVE NOT YET BECOME APPARENT.

     All of the loans in our portfolio have been made since June 1998, more than
two-thirds  of them since January  1999.  Because the  portfolio is  unseasoned,
weaknesses  in loans  which may cause them to become nonperforming  have not yet
become  apparent.  The  allowance  for loan  losses which we maintain may not be
sufficient to absorb losses which may develop as the  portfolio  matures.  Also,
rapid  expansion of the  portfolio  would  result in losses if our  underwriting
standards have been compromised in seeking rapid loan growth.

     A SUBSTANTIAL  PORTION OF OUR LOANS ARE IN REAL ESTATE RELATED LOANS IN THE
WASHINGTON DC  METROPOLITAN  AREA, AND ADVERSE CHANGES IN THE REAL ESTATE MARKET
IN THIS AREA COULD LEAD TO HIGHER LEVELS OF PROBLEM LOANS AND  CHARGE-OFFS,  AND
ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR EARNINGS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION.

     James Monroe Bank has a substantial  amount of loans secured by real estate
as  collateral  At March 31, 2000,  7% of our loans were  construction  and land
development  loans, 6% were 1-4 family  residential  real estate loans,  and 40%
were  commercial  real  estate  loans.  Additionally,  37% were  commercial  and
industrial  loans,  which are not secured by real estate.  These  concentrations
expose us to the risk that adverse  developments in the real estate market could
increase  the levels of  nonperforming  loans and  charge-offs,  and reduce loan
demand and deposit growth.

     PROPOSED  LEGISLATION  WHICH WOULD PERMIT BANKS TO PAY INTEREST ON BUSINESS
CHECKING  ACCOUNTS  COULD HAVE A NEGATIVE  IMPACT ON OUR EARNINGS AND  FINANCIAL
PERFORMANCE.

     A pending bill in Congress,  if enacted into law, would permit banks to pay
interest on checking and demand  deposit  accounts  established  by  businesses,
which is  currently  prohibited  by  regulation.  A  significant  portion of our
deposits,  32.6% at March 31, 2000,  are  noninterest  bearing  business  demand
deposits.  If the proposed  legislation is enacted,  it is likely that we may be
required  to pay  interest  on at least a portion of these  deposits in order to
compete successfully against other banks. This could have a significant negative
effect on our net interest income,  net income,  net interest margin,  return on
assets and return on equity.

     MANAGEMENT WILL HAVE DISCRETION IN ALLOCATING A SUBSTANTIAL  PORTION OF THE
PROCEEDS,  AND MAY USE THEM FOR PURPOSES  NOT  SPECIFICALLY  IDENTIFIED  IN THIS
PROSPECTUS.

     Our Boards of Directors will have substantial discretion in determining the
use of the  proceeds of the  offering.  While the  proceeds of the  offering are
intended to provide  capital for use in the lending and  investment  business of
James Monroe Bank, they will be available for use in lines of business,  and for
business  opportunities which may develop after the offering,  and which are not
presently  contemplated.  Management  will determine which  additional  business
opportunities are appropriate for James Monroe Bank and James Monroe Bancorp. WE
ARE NOT CURRENTLY PERMITTED TO PAY DIVIDENDS WITHOUT PRIOR REGULATORY  APPROVAL.
WE CANNOT BE CERTAIN THAT WE WILL HAVE SUFFICIENT EARNINGS TO BE LEGALLY ABLE TO
PAY  DIVIDENDS.  WE HAVE NO CURRENT PLANS TO COMMENCE  PAYING  DIVIDENDS.  James
Monroe Bank is our  principal  revenue  producing  operation.  As a result,  our
ability to pay  dividends  largely  depends on  receiving  dividends  from James
Monroe Bank.  The amount of dividends  that James Monroe Bank may pay is limited
by state and federal laws and  regulations.  To date,  James Monroe Bank has not
had earnings that would permit the payment of dividends without prior regulatory
approval.

     Even if James Monroe Bank or James Monroe Bancorp has earnings in an amount
sufficient  to pay  dividends,  the  Board of  Directors  may  decide  to retain
earnings  for the  purpose of  financing  growth.  We have no  current  plans to
commence paying  dividends.  See "Description of Capital Stock -- Limitations on
Payment of  Dividends"  at page 42, "The  Offering -- Limited  Market for Common
Stock" at page 9, and "Market for Common Stock and Dividends" at page 14.

     WE CAN ELECT TO DELAY CLOSING OF THE OFFERING UNTIL AS LATE AS NOVEMBER 15,
2000,  AND CAN DECIDE TO NOT ACCEPT  ALL OR A PART OF YOUR  SUBSCRIPTION.  UNTIL
THAT DECISION IS MADE, YOU WILL NOT HAVE USE OF YOUR FUNDS.

     We reserve the right to extend the  offering  until as late as November 15,
2000. We will have broad discretion in determining  which  subscriptions,  other
than  those of our  directors  and  officers,  to  accept,  in whole or in part,
including if the offering is oversubscribed.  In deciding which subscriptions to
accept,  we may  consider  the  order in which  subscriptions  are  received,  a
subscriber's  potential  to do business  with,  or to direct  business to, James
Monroe Bank, and the desire to have a broad distribution of stock ownership.  As
a result, a subscriber  cannot be assured of receiving the full number of shares
subscribed  for,  and may forego  use of all or a portion  of such  subscriber's
funds pending  allocation of available shares.  See "The Offering -- General" at
page 7 and " -- Acceptance and Refunding of Subscriptions" at page 9.

     THE  LOSS OF THE  SERVICES  OF ANY KEY  EMPLOYEES  COULD  ADVERSELY  AFFECT
INVESTOR RETURNS.

     Our business is service-oriented, and its success depends to a large extent
upon the services of John R. Maxwell,  President and Chief Executive  Officer of
James Monroe  Bancorp and James Monroe Bank,  and Richard I. Linhart,  Executive
Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of James Monroe Bank and James Monroe
Bancorp.  The loss of the services of Mr. Maxwell or Mr. Linhart could adversely
affect our business. Although we have employment contracts with both Mr. Maxwell
and Mr.  Linhart,  these  cannot  insure  that we will  retain  their  services.
Although we have $1 million in key man insurance on Mr. Maxwell, the proceeds of
this policy are not intended to fully compensate the company for the loss of Mr.
Maxwell's services. See "Management" at page 38.

     OUR  PROFITABILITY  WILL DEPEND ON ECONOMIC POLICIES AND FACTORS BEYOND OUR
CONTROL.

     Our  operating  income  and net  income  depend to a great  extent on "rate
differentials,"  i.e., the difference  between the interest yields we receive on
loans,  securities and other  interest  bearing assets and the interest rates we
pay on interest bearing deposits and other  liabilities.  These rates are highly
sensitive  to many  factors  which are beyond  our  control,  including  general
economic  conditions  and the policies of various  governmental  and  regulatory
authorities, including the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. See
"Supervision  and  Regulation -- James Monroe Bank" at page 33, and "Business of
James Monroe Bancorp and James Monroe Bank -- Proposed Legislation" at page 30.

                                  THE OFFERING

GENERAL

     Securities  Offered. We are offering to sell 344,828 newly issued shares of
our common stock at $14.50 per share. If the volume of subscriptions exceeds the
number of shares  offered,  we may also sell up to an  additional  137,930 newly
issued shares of common stock.

     No Minimum  Offering.  There is no minimum  number of shares  which must be
sold  in  the  offering.   The  offering  will  be   consummated  if  any  valid
subscriptions  are received,  unless the Board of Directors has  terminated  the
offering in its entirety.  While our directors and executive  officers intend to
purchase shares in the offering,  they are not obligated to purchase any minimum
number of shares.  See "--  Intentions  of  Directors,  Executive  Officers  and
Others" at page 10.

     Expiration Time. Subscriptions to purchase shares must be received no later
than 5:00 p.m.,  Eastern time, on Monday,  October 16, 2000, unless we terminate
the  offering  earlier or extend it. We may  terminate  the offering at any time
prior to  October  16,  2000,  or to extend the  termination  date for up to one
period  of  thirty  (30)  days,   without  notice  to   subscribers.   Under  no
circumstances  will we extend the offering  beyond  November 15, 2000.  See "The
Offering -- Procedure for Subscribing to Common Stock in the Offering" below and
" -- Acceptance and Refunding of Subscriptions" at page 9.

     Minimum and Maximum Subscription. Investors must subscribe for the purchase
of a minimum of 400 shares, for a minimum investment of $5,800. We may, however,
permit smaller  subscriptions  in our discretion.  There is no maximum number of
shares  which any person or group of  affiliated  persons  will be  permitted to
purchase.  In considering whether to accept a subscription,  we may consider the
number of shares purchased by a subscriber in other capacities, the potential of
the  subscriber to do business  with, or direct  business to, James Monroe Bank,
and other  factors  relating  to a  particular  subscription,  and the number of
shares  which  have  not  been  subscribed  for at the  time a  subscription  is
accepted.  We  may  also  consider  the  identity  of  the  subscriber  and  the
subscriber's intentions with respect to the operation,  management and direction
of James Monroe Bancorp.

     WE RESERVE  THE RIGHT TO ACCEPT OR REJECT ANY  SUBSCRIPTION  IN WHOLE OR IN
PART. IN DETERMINING  WHETHER TO ACCEPT ANY  SUBSCRIPTION,  IN WHOLE OR IN PART,
THE DIRECTORS MAY, IN THEIR SOLE DISCRETION, TAKE INTO ACCOUNT:
     o    THE ORDER IN WHICH SUBSCRIPTIONS ARE RECEIVED,
     o    A SUBSCRIBER'S  POTENTIAL TO DO BUSINESS WITH, OR TO DIRECT  CUSTOMERS
          TO, JAMES MONROE BANK, AND
     o    OUR DESIRE TO HAVE A BROAD DISTRIBUTION OF STOCK OWNERSHIP, AS WELL AS
          LEGAL OR REGULATORY  RESTRICTIONS.

YOU MAY NOT REVOKE A SUBSCRIPTION AFTER IT HAS BEEN RECEIVED.

PROCEDURE FOR SUBSCRIBING TO COMMON STOCK IN THE OFFERING

     Investors  who wish to  participate  in the  offering  and  invest in James
Monroe  Bancorp may do so by completing and signing the  subscription  agreement
accompanying this prospectus and delivering the completed  subscription prior to
the  termination of the offering,  together with payment in full of the offering
price of all shares for which you have subscribed. Payment in full must be by:

          (a) check or bank draft drawn upon a U.S. bank; or
          (b) postal, telegraphic or express money order,

in either case, payable to "James Monroe Bancorp, Inc. Escrow Account".

     The offering price will be deemed to have been received only upon:



                                       8

<PAGE>


(a)  clearance of any uncertified check, or

(b)  receipt of any  certified  check or bank draft drawn upon a U.S. bank or of
     any postal, telegraphic or express money order.

























                                       9

<PAGE>


A  postage  paid,   addressed  envelope  is  included  for  the  return  of  the
subscription agreement.

     If you are paying by uncertified personal check, please note that the check
may take at least five business  days to clear.  If you wish to pay the offering
price  by means  of  uncertified  personal  check,  we urge you to make  payment
sufficiently  before  the end of the  offering  to ensure  that such  payment is
received  and  clears  before the end of the  offering.  All funds  received  in
payment of the subscription price will be deposited in the James Monroe Bancorp,
Inc. Escrow Account and, until closing of the offering,  will be invested at the
direction of James Monroe Bancorp.

     The address to which  subscription  agreements  and payment of the offering
price should be delivered is:

                     Richard I. Linhart, Subscription Agent
                           James Monroe Bancorp, Inc.
                              3033 Wilson Boulevard
                            Arlington, Virginia 22201
                                  703.524.8100

     If the amount you send with your  subscription  is insufficient to purchase
the number of shares that you  indicate are being  subscribed  for, or if you do
not  specify  the  number of shares to be  purchased,  then we will  treat  your
subscription  as one to purchase  shares to the full extent of the payment sent.
If the amount you send with your  subscription  exceeds the amount  necessary to
purchase the number of shares that you indicate are being  subscribed  for, then
we will treat your  subscription as one to purchase shares to the full extent of
the excess  payment sent.  We reserve the right to reject,  in whole or in part,
any subscription. In determining whether to accept any subscription, in whole or
in part,  the  directors  may, in their sole  discretion,  take into account the
order in which  subscriptions  are  received,  a  subscriber's  potential  to do
business  with,  or to direct  customers to, James Monroe Bank and our desire to
have a broad  distribution  of stock  ownership,  as well as legal or regulatory
restrictions.  We may also  consider  the  identity  of the  subscriber  and the
subscriber's intentions with respect to the operation,  management and direction
of James Monroe Bancorp.


     FAILURE TO INCLUDE THE FULL OFFERING PRICE WITH YOUR SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT
MAY CAUSE US TO REJECT YOUR SUBSCRIPTION.

     The  method of  delivery  of  subscription  agreements  and  payment of the
offering price will be your election and risk. If you send your  subscription by
mail, we recommend that you use registered mail, return receipt  requested,  and
that you allow a sufficient  number of days to ensure  delivery and clearance of
payment  prior  to the  termination  date.  You  will  be  required  to pay  the
additional postage costs relating to registered mail.

     We will decide all questions concerning the timeliness,  validity, form and
eligibility  of  subscription  agreements,  and our decisions  will be final and
binding.  James Monroe Bancorp, in its sole discretion,  may waive any defect or
irregularity  in any  subscription,  may permit any defect or irregularity to be
corrected  within  such  time  as we may  allow,  or may  reject  the  purported
subscription.  We will not  consider a  subscription  to have been  received  or
accepted until all irregularities  have been waived or cured within such time as
we determine in our sole discretion. Neither James Monroe Bancorp, its officers,
directors, and agents, the subscription agent nor any other person will be under
any duty to give a  subscriber  notice  of any  defect  or  irregularity  in the
submission  of  subscription  agreements,  or incur any liability for failure to
give such notice.

     SUBSCRIPTIONS FOR COMMON STOCK MAY NOT BE REVOKED BY SUBSCRIBERS.

ESCROW ACCOUNT; RELEASE OF FUNDS; NO INTEREST ON SUBSCRIPTION FUNDS

     All funds  received  in payment  of the  offering  price  will be  promptly
deposited  into an escrow account at James Monroe Bank subject to the control of
Neil Title, Esquire, Escrow Agent, until consummation or termination of the


                                       10

<PAGE>

offering. Funds in the escrow account will be invested in short-term obligations
of  the  United  States  government  or a  sweep  account  collateralized  by US
government or agency  securities.  Subscription  funds will be released from the
escrow  account to James Monroe Bancorp only upon receipt by the escrow agent of
the  certification  of the President of James Monroe Bancorp that  subscriptions
relating to such funds have been  accepted  and that shares of common stock will
be issued to subscribers in respect of such subscriptions.  Earnings on funds in
the escrow account will be retained by James Monroe  Bancorp  whether or not the
offering is consummated.


         Subscriptions  for common stock which are received by the  subscription
agent  may  not  be  revoked.  No  interest  will  be  paid  to  subscribers  on
subscription  funds,  even if the offering is  terminated  in its entirety or an
individual  subscription is rejected. By submitting a subscription,  subscribers
will  forego  interest  they  otherwise  could have  earned on the funds for the
period  during  which  their  funds are held in escrow.  We will,  however,  pay
interest  to the extent  that law,  regulation  or  administrative  policy of an
investor's  state of  residence  specifically  requires  in the  event  that the
offering  is not  completed.  Prior to the time the  offering  is  completed  or
terminated,  we will be entitled to request,  from time to time, that the escrow
agent  distribute  accrued  earnings  on the  escrowed  funds to us for  general
corporate purposes.

ACCEPTANCE AND REFUNDING OF SUBSCRIPTIONS

     Subscription  agreements  are not  binding on James  Monroe  Bancorp  until
accepted by James Monroe Bancorp. We reserve the right to reject, in whole or in
part, in our sole discretion,  any subscription agreement or, if the offering is
oversubscribed,  to allot a lesser  number of shares than the number for which a
person  has  subscribed.  In  determining  the number of shares to allot to each
subscriber  if the  offering is  oversubscribed,  the  directors,  in their sole
discretion, may take into account the order in which subscriptions are received,
a subscriber's  potential to do business with, or to direct  customers to, James
Monroe Bank, and our desire to have a broad distribution of stock ownership,  as
well as legal or  regulatory  restrictions.  We will decide  which  subscription
agreements to accept within ten days after the termination of the offering. Once
made, a subscription  is irrevocable by the subscriber  during the period of the
offering, including extensions, if any.

     We may  elect,  at any time and from time to time,  to accept any or all of
the subscriptions which have been received to date, issue shares of common stock
for those subscriptions, and continue the offering with respect to any remaining
shares.

     If we reject all or a portion of any  subscription,  the escrow  agent will
promptly refund to the subscriber by check sent by first-class  mail all, or the
appropriate  portion,  of the amount submitted with the subscription  agreement,
without  interest or deduction,  except that interest will be paid to the extent
that the law,  regulation  or  administrative  policy of your state of residence
specifically requires. If the offering is not completed,  all subscription funds
will be promptly  refunded without  interest or deduction,  except that interest
will be paid if and to the extent  that the law,  regulation  or  administrative
policy of your state of residence specifically requires.

     After all refunds have been made, the escrow agent,  James Monroe  Bancorp,
James Monroe Bank and their respective directors, officers, and agents will have
no further  liabilities to subscribers.  Certificates  representing  shares duly
subscribed  and paid for will be issued as soon as  practicable  after funds are
released to by the escrow agent.

LIMITED MARKET FOR COMMON STOCK

     Except for common stock held by our  directors and certain of our executive
officers, the common stock will be freely transferable immediately upon issuance
and will not be subject to any transfer  restrictions.  There does not currently
exist  an  active  or  organized   public  market  for  the  common  stock.   No
broker-dealers  currently offer to make a market in the common stock. The common
stock has been the subject of only  sporadic  trades.  There can be no assurance
that an  over-the-counter  market will develop for the common  stock.  It is not
anticipated  that the common  stock will be listed on any stock  exchange  or be
designated  for trading on the Nasdaq system upon  completion of the offering or
in the immediate future.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

                                       11
<PAGE>

     The offering  price has been  determined  by the Board of  Directors  after
consideration  of  various  factors  which it  deemed  relevant.  These  factors
included,  among other  things,  our current  financial  condition and operating
performance  as  presented in our  financial  statements,  recent  trades of the
common stock,  the market  value,  and price to earnings and price to book value
ratios  of the  common  stock  of  other  banking  organizations  which  we deem
comparable,  and  pro  forma  financial  position  after  giving  effect  to the
offering. NEITHER THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS NOR MANAGEMENT HAS EXPRESSED AN OPINION
OR HAS MADE ANY  RECOMMENDATION  AS TO WHETHER ANYONE SHOULD  PURCHASE SHARES OF
COMMON STOCK IN THE OFFERING. ANY DECISION TO INVEST IN THE COMMON STOCK MUST BE
MADE BY EACH  INVESTOR  BASED UPON HIS OR HER OWN  EVALUATION OF THE OFFERING IN
THE CONTEXT OF HIS OR HER BEST INTERESTS.

     There can be no assurance  that,  following  completion of the offering and
the issuance of the common stock,  you will be able to sell shares  purchased in
the offering at a price equal to or greater than the offering  price.  Moreover,
until certificates for shares of common stock are delivered, you may not be able
to sell the shares of common stock that you have purchased in the offering.  See
"-- Issuance of Common Stock" below.

INTENTIONS OF DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND OTHERS

     Our  directors and executive  officers have  indicated  that they intend to
subscribe  for an aggregate of 101,375  shares of common stock in the  offering.
Any shares purchased by directors and executive officers are intended to be held
as an investment.  These  intentions are not  commitments and could change based
upon individual circumstances.  See "Share Ownership of Directors,  Officers and
Certain Beneficial Owners" at page 37.

REGULATORY LIMITATION

     If you would own ten  percent  (10%) or more of our common  stock after the
offering,  five  percent  (5%) in some  circumstances,  you may be  required  to
provide certain information to, or seek the prior approval of, state and federal
bank regulators.  We will not be required to issue shares of common stock in the
offering to any person who, in our  opinion,  would be required to obtain  prior
clearance or approval from any state or federal bank regulatory authority to own
or control such shares if, at the  termination  date, such clearance or approval
has not been obtained or any required waiting period has not expired. We reserve
the right to reduce or reject, in whole or in part, any subscription which would
require prior  regulatory  application or approval if such has not been obtained
prior to the termination  date. See "The Offering -- Acceptance and Refunding of
Subscriptions" at page 9

RIGHT TO AMEND OR TERMINATE THE OFFERING

     We  expressly  reserve the right to amend the terms and  conditions  of the
offering.  In the event of a material  change to the terms of the  offering,  we
will file an amendment to the registration  statement,  of which this prospectus
is a part, and resolicit  subscribers to the extent  required by the SEC. In the
event of such a resolicitation,  all proceeds received will be returned promptly
to  any  subscriber  who  does  not  provide  the  subscription  agent  with  an
affirmative reconfirmation of the subscription.  We expressly reserve the right,
at any time prior to  delivery  of shares of common  stock  offered  hereby,  to
terminate  the offering if the offering is prohibited by law or regulation or if
the Board of Directors  concludes,  in its sole judgment,  that it is not in the
best  interests  of James  Monroe  Bancorp to complete  the  offering  under the
circumstances.  The offering may be  terminated by James Monroe  Bancorp  giving
oral or written  notice  thereof to the  subscription  agent and making a public
announcement thereof. If the offering is so terminated,  all funds received will
be promptly refunded, without interest.

ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK

     Certificates  representing shares of common stock purchased in the offering
will be delivered to purchasers,  via  registered or certified  mail, as soon as
practicable  after the expiration  time and after all prorations and adjustments
contemplated  by the offering have been effected.  No fractional  shares will be
issued in the offering.

     If you have  questions or require  additional  information  concerning  the
offering,  contact John R. Maxwell, President and Chief Executive Officer, James
Monroe Bancorp, Inc., or Richard I. Linhart,  Executive Vice President and Chief
Operating Officer, James Monroe Bank and James Monroe Bancorp, Inc., 3033 Wilson
Boulevard, Arlington, Virginia 22201, telephone 703.524.8100.

MANNER OF DISTRIBUTION

     Certain  of  our  directors  and  executive  officers  will  assist  in the
offering.  None of our directors and officers will receive compensation for such
services.  Such  directors and officers are not  authorized  to make  statements
about James Monroe  Bancorp or James Monroe Bank unless such  information is set
forth in this prospectus,  nor will they render investment  advice.  None of our
directors or executive  officers are registered as securities brokers or dealers
under the federal or  applicable  state  securities  laws (except for Richard I.
Linhart, who is registered as an issuer agent under various state laws), nor are
any of them  affiliated  with any broker or dealer.  Because they are not in the
business of either  effecting  securities  transactions for others or buying and
selling  securities for their own account,  they are not required to register as
brokers or dealers under the federal securities laws. In addition,  the proposed
activities  of  our   directors   and  executive   officers  are  excepted  from
registration pursuant to a specific safe-harbor provision under Rule 3a4-1 under
the  Securities  Exchange  Act  of  1934,  as  amended.   Substantially  similar
exemptions from  registration  are available under  applicable  state securities
laws.

     NO BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER PERSON IS OBLIGATED TO PURCHASE ANY OF THE SHARES
OFFERED,  OR TO FIND  PURCHASERS FOR ANY SHARES.  THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT
ANY MINIMUM NUMBER OF SHARES WILL BE SOLD.

                                 USE OF PROCEEDS

     The gross  proceeds  to James  Monroe  Bancorp  from the sale of the common
stock  offered  hereby will be $5,000,006 if all of the shares being offered are
sold,  and  $6,999,991 if all of the  oversubscription  shares are sold, in each
case before deducting expenses of the offering, which are estimated at $110,000.

     The proceeds of the offering will be used to strengthen James Monroe Bank's
capital base and position it to continue to exceed  minimum  regulatory  capital
ratios,  which will allow for future  growth  through  expansion of its existing
business. We plan to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes,  which
will  include  contribution  to James  Monroe  Bank for use in its  lending  and
investment activities. We expect that the proceeds of this offering will support
the  growth of James  Monroe  Bank for two to three  years,  although  the exact
period is dependent on our actual  level of growth and  earnings,  opportunities
for growth and additional business opportunities which may develop, and economic
conditions in general and the northern Virginia/metropolitan  Washington DC area
in particular.  We intend to contribute the first  $1,000,000 of net proceeds of
the offering to James Monroe Bank  immediately  upon completion of the offering.
The  balance of the funds will then be  invested  in medium to  short-term  U.S.
Government and U.S.  Government Agency securities,  or other investments we deem
appropriate,  until the funds are needed for  contribution to James Monroe Bank,
holding  company  expenses,   or  for  other  corporate  purposes.   Other  than
contribution  to James Monroe Bank for use in  connection  with the expansion of
its  business,  we have no  specific  plans for any part of the  proceeds of the
offering.  Proceeds of the offering  will also be available  for use in lines of
business or activities for which opportunities develop after the offering.

     The offering will enable James Monroe Bank to establish  additional  branch
locations,  to expand into  desirable  market  areas,  and to provide  increased
lending  services  to its  existing  customers  and  markets.  Proceeds  will be
available for payment of expenses  incurred in connection with branch expansion,
including construction,  buildout,  furniture, fixtures and equipment, lease and
real  estate  purchase  costs.  As of the date of this  prospectus,  we have not
identified  any  locations  at  which  we will  establish  additional  branches,
although we have several  possible  sites in Loudon  County and  Leesburg  under
evaluation.  There can be no  assurance  that any  additional  branches  will be
established,  or if  established  that  they  will be  successful.  We have  not
allocated any specific dollar amount of the proceeds to branching related costs.
The actual costs which may be incured in connection with any branching  activity
will vary based upon the site selected and the existing facilities at the site.

                                    DILUTION

     Dilution  represents  the  difference  between the amount per share paid by
purchasers  of common stock in this offering and the net tangible book value per
share of common stock immediately after the offering. The tangible book value of
James Monroe  Bancorp was $6.68  million at March 31, 2000,  or $8.98 per share.
After  adjusting  for the  receipt  of the net  proceeds  of the sale of 344,828
shares of common stock in the offering, the pro forma book value would be $11.57
million,  or $10.62 per share.  As the tangible below shows,  this represents an
immediate dilution of $3.88 per share to new investors,  based on the difference
between pro forma book value and the offering price.

Pro forma net tangible book value per share after the offering                    $10.62
                                                                               ---------------

     If all of the  oversubscription  shares were sold,  net tangible book value
per share would be $11.06 and dilution to  investors  in the  offering  would be
$3.44 per share.

                         REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

     For  capital  adequacy  purposes,  the Board of  Governors  of the  Federal
Reserve  requires  state  member banks such as James Monroe Bank to maintain two
separate capital ratios,  both of which compare certain capital account items to
total assets and  off-balance-sheet  instruments,  as adjusted to reflect  their
relative  credit  risks  ("Total  Risk-Weighted   Assets").   These  are  called
"Risk-Based Capital Ratios." The first of these is the "Total Risk-Based Capital
Ratio," which  compares the total capital  account,  which may include a limited
amount of general reserves for loan losses to Total  Risk-Weighted  Assets.  The
minimum  level  for this  ratio  is 8.0%.  The  second  of these is the  "Tier 1
Risk-Based  Capital  Ratio," where "Tier 1 Capital,"  (which must  constitute at
least one-half of total capital)  defined as common equity,  retained  earnings,
non-cumulative  perpetual  preferred  stock and a limited  amount of  cumulative
perpetual  preferred stock,  less goodwill,  is compared to Total  Risk-Weighted
Assets. The minimum level for this ratio is 4.0%.

     The Federal  Reserve also has  established an additional  capital  adequacy
guideline  referred to as the "Leverage Capital Ratio," which measures the ratio
of Tier 1 Capital (as defined above) to total assets,  less  goodwill.  Although
the most  highly-rated bank holding companies are required to maintain a minimum
Leverage Capital Ratio of 3.0%, such as James Monroe Bancorp,  most bank holding
companies are required to maintain  Leverage Capital Ratios of 4.0% to 5.0%. The
actual  required  ratio is  based on the  Federal  Reserve's  assessment  of the
individual  bank  holding   company's  asset  quality,   earnings   performance,
interest-rate risk and liquidity. There can be no assurance, however, that James
Monroe Bancorp will not be required to maintain a higher Leverage Capital Ratio.
See  "Supervision  and  Regulation  -- James  Monroe  Bank --  Capital  Adequacy
Guidelines" at page 34.

     The  Federal  Reserve  has  also  promulgated  regulations  and  adopted  a
statement of policy  regarding the capital  adequacy of bank holding  companies,
such as James Monroe Bancorp. These guidelines,  which are substantially similar
to those adopted by the Federal  Reserve for state member banks,  will not apply
to James Monroe  Bancorp until its has total assets of $150 million,  has public
debt or engages in certain highly leveraged activities.

     The  following  table sets forth the actual  regulatory  capital  ratios of
James Monroe Bancorp and James Monroe Bank at March 31, 2000, and as adjusted to
give effect to the receipt of the  estimated  net proceeds  from the sale of the
common stock offered hereby, based on the assumptions set forth in the footnotes
and James Monroe Bancorp incurring expenses of $110,000 in the offering.  The as
adjusted capital ratios are calculated assuming that all amounts contributed are
invested in assets  having a 100% risk  weighting  under  applicable  regulatory
capital  calculations.  If the assets actually invested in are assumed to have a
lower risk weighting, the adjusted capital ratios will be higher.

                      MARKET FOR COMMON STOCK AND DIVIDENDS

     The common  stock is not traded on any  exchange or Nasdaq.  There does not
currently  exist an organized  public  trading market for shares of James Monroe
Bancorp  common  stock.  Trading  in the  common  stock has been  sporadic,  and
consists mainly of private trades conducted without brokers.  We are aware of 12
trades of the  common  stock  since June  1998,  when the common  stock of James
Monroe Bank was first issued, at prices ranging from $10.00 to $12.25 per share.
The last  trade  known to us was a trade of 300  shares at  $12.25  per share on
March 29, 2000.  There may be other trades of which we are either not aware,  or
with  respect  to  which  we are  not  aware  of the  price.  These  trades  and
transactions  do not  necessarily  reflect the intrinsic or market values of the
common stock.  As of March 31, 2000,  there were 744,290  shares of common stock
outstanding, held by approximately 467 shareholders of record.

     As of March 31,  2000,  there were  options to purchase  110,130  shares of
common stock outstanding pursuant to our stock option plans, of which 52,199 are
presently exercisable.

     Set forth below is certain financial  information  relating to James Monroe
Bancorp's  share price history for the each quarter since the second  quarter of
1998.  Information for the period prior to July 1, 1999 represents trades in the
common  stock of James Monroe Bank.  High and low sales  prices  reflect  trades
known to James Monroe Bancorp,  and do not necessarily  reflect all trades which

<PAGE>

Monroe  Bank,  and prior to that  time  James  Monroe  Bank did not pay any cash
dividends,  each  electing to retain  earnings to support  growth.  We currently
intend to continue the policy of retaining  dividends to support  growth for the
immediate  future.  Future  dividends  will depend  primarily  upon James Monroe
Bank's earnings,  financial condition, and need for funds, as well as applicable
governmental  policies and  regulations.  There can be no assurance that we will
have earnings at a level sufficient to support the payment of dividends, or that
we will in the  future  elect  to pay  dividends.  As James  Monroe  Bank is the
primary  source of funds for payment of dividends by James Monroe  Bancorp,  the
inability  of James  Monroe Bank to pay  dividends  could  adversely  affect the
ability of James Monroe Bancorp to pay dividends.

     Regulations  of the Federal  Reserve and  Virginia law place a limit on the
amount of dividends  James  Monroe Bank may pay without  prior  approval.  Prior
regulatory  approval is required to pay  dividends  which  exceed  James  Monroe
Bank's net profits for the current  year plus its  retained  net profits for the
preceding two calendar years, less required  transfers to surplus.  At March 31,
2000  dividends  may not be paid  without  prior  approval.  State  and  federal
regulatory  authorities  also have  authority  to  prohibit  a bank from  paying
dividends if they deem payment to be an unsafe or unsound practice.

     The  Federal  Reserve  has  established  guidelines  with  respect  to  the
maintenance  of  appropriate  levels  of  capital  by  registered  bank  holding
companies.  Compliance with such standards,  as presently in effect,  or as they
may be amended from time to time,  could  possibly limit the amount of dividends
that James Monroe Bancorp may pay in the future.  In 1985,  the Federal  Reserve
issued a policy  statement  on the  payment of cash  dividends  by bank  holding
companies.  In the  statement,  the Federal  Reserve  expressed  its view that a
holding company  experiencing  earnings weaknesses should not pay cash dividends
exceeding  its net income,  or which could only be funded in ways that  weakened
the holding company's financial health, such as by borrowing.

     As a depository institution, the deposits of which are insured by the FDIC,
James Monroe Bank may not pay dividends or distribute  any of its capital assets
while it remains in default on any assessment due the FDIC. James Monroe Bank is
not currently in default under any of its obligations to the FDIC.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The  following   discussion  provides  information  about  the  results  of
operations and financial  condition,  liquidity,  and capital resources of James
Monroe Bancorp and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 1999.

     In addition, in reading and understanding the information contained herein,
it should be noted that our wholly owned  subsidiary,  James  Monroe  Bank,  was
chartered and commenced  business on June 8, 1998.  Therefore,  the  information
contained herein for 1998 represents  approximately  seven months of operations,
1999  was our  first  full  year of  operations,  and,  therefore,  the two year
comparisons of operations are not meaningful.

OVERVIEW

     The strategic  vision of the newly  chartered James Monroe Bank, our wholly
owned  subsidiary,  was to focus on growing the bank by concentrating on lending
to small and medium size businesses in Northern Virginia. While we offer all the
typical  retail or consumer  products at  competitive  prices,  this  segment of
business is not the primary  focus.  James  Monroe  Bancorp  attempts to develop
business  and grow by offering  nearly all the  products  and services of larger
financial  institutions at similar  competitive prices to commercial  customers,
but  attempts to provide a higher  level of  personalized  service with less fee
charges.  We do  not  currently  offer  services  such  as  insurance  products,
securities sales, or single family first trust real estate loans.

     James Monroe Bank  started  with nine  employees,  one  location,  and $7.4
million of capital.  It currently has 16 full-time and 3 part-time employees and
two locations.  We have grown significantly  faster than the initial projections
and achieved  profitability  much earlier than expected.  Assets have grown from
zero when operations  commenced on June 8, 1998 to $23.5 million at December 31,
1998,  $49.6 million at December 31, 1999, and


                                       17

reached $61.3  million,  at March 31, 2000.  During these same periods  deposits
grew to $16.8 million,  $42.8 million,  and $54.3 million,  respectively,  while
loans grew to $12.8  million,  $31.0 million,  and $37.6 million,  respectively.
Deposit growth has outpaced loan growth and therefore we have  generated  excess
liquidity,  which we have invested in high quality government agency securities,
corporate bonds, and federal funds.

     We have attempted to offer  competitive loan and deposit rates. The deposit
mix is such that we have funded our assets with low cost core  deposits and have
not been  reliant on high cost or large  denomination  time  deposits.  This has
translated into a strong net interest margin of 5.27% for 1998,  5.25% for 1999,
and 5.35% for the first  quarter  of 1999 and the first  quarter  of 2000.  As a
result, we had our first month of profitability in March 1999, and have earned a
profit each month thereafter.  While we lost $452,000 for the seven month period
ended  December 31, 1998, we earned a profit of $125,000 in 1999.  For the first
quarter of 1999 we lost  $34,000  but earned  $112,000  in the first  quarter of
2000.  See "Risk  Factors" at page 3 and  "Business of James Monroe  Bancorp and
James Monroe Bank -- Proposed Legislation" at page 30.

     In the first twenty-two months of operations  through March 31, 2000, asset
quality has been exceptional.  We have not had a loan charged-off, or classified
a loan as nonaccrual,  nor has any loan been restructured.  In addition, no loan
has been over  90-days  past-due.  It is not  likely  that we will  continue  to
experience no nonperforming loans as we go forward.

NET INTEREST INCOME

     Net interest income is the difference  between  interest and fees earned on
assets and the interest paid on deposits and borrowings.  Net interest income is
one of the major determining factors in a financial institution's performance as
it is the principal source of earnings.  Table 1 presents average balance sheets
and a net  interest  income  analysis  for the  quarter  ended  March 31,  2000,
compared  with the quarter  ended March 31, 1999,  and for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1999 compared with the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998 (a seven
month period from the date James Monroe Bank opened for business).  James Monroe
Bancorp did not have any tax exempt income during any period presented.

     As reflected in Table 1, net interest income  increased  $294,000,  or 81%,
from $363,000 for the first quarter of 1999 to $657,000 for the first quarter of
2000.  The increase was due  primarily to the increase in average  total earning
assets, and average loans in particular.  Total average earning assets increased
by $22 million, or 80.9%, from the first quarter of 1999 to the first quarter of
2000,  and the yield on earning  assets  increased by 79 basis  points.  Average
loans  outstanding grew by $17.5 million,  or 114.5% and the yield on such loans
increased  by 31 basis  points.  Also  contributing  to the  increase in earning
assets on a quarter  to quarter  basis was the  increase  in taxable  securities
which  increased $5.7 million and a 53 basis point increase in the average yield
on securities.

     In comparing  fiscal year 1999 to 1998, the increase in net interest income
of  $1,442,000,  or 299.2%,  can be  attributed  to the growth in total  earning
assets. Since James Monroe Bank was chartered and opened for business on June 8,
1998, fiscal year 1998 is comprised of seven months of operations  compared with
the full year of operations in 1999.

     Table 2 shows the  composition of the net change in net interest income for
the periods  indicated,  as allocated  between the change in net interest income
due to changes in the volume of average  assets and the changes in net  interest
income  due to changes  in  interest  rates.  As the table  shows,  for both the
comparison  of net interest  income for the first  quarter of 2000 compared with
the first  quarter of 1999 and for fiscal  year 2000  compared  with fiscal year
1999, the increase in net interest  income is almost  entirely due to changes in
the volume of earning assets and interest-bearing  liabilities. The net interest
margin for the quarter-to-quarter  comparison held steady at 5.35% and thus very
little of the change in net  interest  income is due to net  changes in interest
rates.

     In comparing  1999 with 1998, the same holds true although the net interest
margin did decline  slightly,  by 2 basis points,  from 5.27% for the short year
1998 to 5.25% for the full year 1999.

     As discussed further below, interest rates changed a number of times during
the  period  of June  1998  through  March  31,  2000,  yet we have been able to
maintain a stable,  yet strong, net interest margin of 5.27% in 1998, a 5.25% in
1999 and a 5.35% margin for the first quarter of 1999 and 2000.

INTEREST INCOME

     The  following  table  indicates  changes in interest  income and  interest
expense  attributable  to  changes  in  average  volume  and  average  rates  in
comparison  with the same period in the preceding  year.  The change in interest
due to  combined  rate-volume  variance  has been  allocated  to rate and volume
changes in proportion to the absolute dollar amounts of the changes in each.

     First  Quarter 2000 versus First Quarter 1999.  Interest  income  increased
$510,000 for the quarter ended March31,  2000, to $1,021,000 nearly doubling the
interest income for the first quarter of 1999 of $511,000.  This improvement was
almost entirely the result of the increase in loans and securities. The increase
in the yield on earning  assets from 7.53% to 8.32%  contributed  $32,000 to the
increase.  In the early stages of James Monroe Bank's  existence,  it had a high
level of Federal funds and securities. As it matured and more loans were made, a
lower percentage of assets were in Federal funds. Thus, the change in the mix of
earning assets contributed to the improvement in the overall yield.

     1999 versus  1998.  As can be seen from the table  above,  the  increase in
interest income during 1999 of $2,215,000,  or 351.6%, over 1998 is entirely due
to the increase in the volume of earning  assets.  This growth in earning assets
is a  combination  of the fact that 1998 was a seven  month  fiscal year and the
second factor is that we have experienced exceptional and consistent growth from
month to month since inception.

INTEREST EXPENSE

     First  Quarter 2000 versus First  Quarter  1999.  Interest  expense for the
first quarter of 2000 was $364,000,  an increase of approximately  $216,000,  or
146%,  over  interest  expense for the first  quarter of 1999.  The  increase is
attributable  principally  to the $17.1  million  increase in  interest  bearing
deposits, augmented by a 63 basis point increase in average yield.

     1999  versus  1998.  Interest  expense for 1999 was  $921,000,  compared to
$148,000 for the seven month period  ending  December 31, 1998.  The increase is
due entirely to the growth in interest  bearing  liabilities as the bank matured
and reflecting the fact that 1999 represented a full year of operations.

PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

     The provision for loan losses is based upon  management's  best estimate of
probable  losses which have been incurred.  Since James Monroe Bank is a de novo
bank with a limited operating history, it has no history of loan losses. It also
has not had any nonaccrual loans,  loans past due 90-days or more,  restructured
loans,  other real estate  owned or  foreclosed  properties.  At March 31, 2000,
there were no loans which were performing but as to which  information  known to
us caused management to have serious doubts as to the ability of the borrower to
comply with the current loan repayment terms. In determining the adequacy of the
allowance, the value and adequacy of the collateral is considered as well as the
growth and composition of the portfolio, as well as the loss experience of other
banks in our peer group.  Consideration  is given to the results of examinations
and  evaluations  of  the  overall  portfolio  by  senior  management,  external
auditors,   and  regulatory   examiners.   While  the  methodology  we  use  for
establishing  the allowance for loan losses is  reevaluated  on a regular basis,
our current policy is to maintain the allowance at approximately  1.20% of total
loans.  As reflected  in table 4 below,  the  allowance  is allocated  among the
various  categories  of  loans  in  rough  proportion  to the  level  of   loans
outstanding  in  such  categories.  Management  considers  the  allowance  to be
adequate for the periods presented.

     The accompany tables reflect the composition of the loan portfolio at March
31, 2000 and March 31, 1999, and for the years ended in 1999 and 1998, a history
of net  charge-offs and the allocation of the allowance by loan category for the
same periods.

     The  following  table  presents the activity in the  allowance for loan and
lease  losses for the  quarters  ended  March 31, 2000 and 1999 and for the year

LOANS

     The loan portfolio is the largest  component of earning assets and accounts
for the greatest  portion of total  interest  income.  At March 31, 2000,  total
loans were $37.6 million, a 108% increase from March 31, 1999. In general, loans
are  internally   generated  with  the  exception  of  a  small   percentage  of
participation  loans  purchased from other local  community  banks,  and lending
activity is confined  to our market of  Northern  Virginia.  We do not engage in
highly leveraged transactions or foreign lending activities.

     Loans  in the  commercial  category,  as well  as  commercial  real  estate
mortgages,  consist  primarily of short-term  (five year or less final maturity)
and/or floating rate commercial  loans made to small to medium-sized  companies.
We do not have any agricultural loans in the portfolio. There are no substantial
loan concentrations to any one industry or to any one borrower.

     Consumer  loans  consist  primarily  of  secured   installment  credits  to
individuals,  residential  construction  loans secured by a first deed of trust,
home equity loans, or home improvement loans. The consumer portfolio  represents
7% of the loan portfolio at March 31, 2000.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES

     The carrying value of James Monroe Bancorp's securities portfolio increased
$5.9  million to $14.6  million at March 31,  2000 from the same  quarter a year
earlier.  From December 31, 1998 to December 31, 1999,  the portfolio  increased
$9.5 million to $13.5  million.  James  Monroe  Bancorp  currently,  and for all
periods shown, classifies its entire securities portfolio as Available For Sale.
Increases in the portfolio  have occurred  whenever  deposit growth has outpaced
loan  demand and the  forecast  for loan growth is such that the  investment  of
excess liquidity in investment securities (as opposed to short-term  investments
such as federal funds) is warranted. In general, our investment philosophy is to
acquire high quality government agency securities or high-grade corporate bonds,
with a maturity of five years or less in the case of fixed rate  securities.  In
the case of mortgaged-backed  securities,  the policy is to invest only in those
securities whose average expected life is projected to be five years or less. To
the extent  possible  the Company  attempts to "ladder" the  maturities  of such
securities.

LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY MANAGEMENT

     The primary objectives of asset and liability management are to provide for
the safety of depositor  and investor  funds,  assure  adequate  liquidity,  and
maintain an appropriate  balance between interest  sensitive  earning assets and
interest bearing liabilities.  Liquidity management involves the ability to meet
the cash  flow  requirements  of  customers  who may be  depositors  wanting  to
withdraw  funds or borrowers  needing  assurance that  sufficient  funds will be
available to meet their credit needs.

     We define liquidity for these purposes as the ability to raise cash quickly
at a reasonable cost without principal loss. The primary  liquidity  measurement
we utilize is called the Basic  Surplus,  which  captures  the  adequacy  of our
access to reliable  sources of cash relative to the stability of our funding mix
of deposits.  Accordingly,  we have established  borrowing facilities with other
banks (Federal  funds) and the Federal Home Loan Bank as sources of liquidity in
addition to the deposits.

     The Basic Surplus approach  enables us to adequately  manage liquidity from
both a tactical and  contingency  perspectives.  At December 31, 1999, our Basic
Surplus  ratio (net access to cash and secured  borrowings)  as a percentage  of
total assets was 27% compared to the present internal minimum guideline range of
7% to 10%.

     Financial  institutions  utilize a number of methods to  evaluate  interest
rate risk.  Methods range from the original  static gap analysis (the difference
between interest sensitive assets and interest sensitive  liabilities  repricing
during  the same  period,  measured  at a  specific  point in time),  to running
multiple  simulations  of  potential  interest  rate  scenarios,  to rate  shock
analysis, to highly complicated duration analysis.

     One tool that we utilize in managing our interest  rate risk is the matched
funding matrix depicted in the  accompanying  table. The matrix arrays repricing
opportunities  along a time line for both  assets and  liabilities.  The longest
term,  most fixed rate sources are presented in the upper left hand corner while
the shorter term,  most variable rate items,  are at the lower left.  Similarly,
uses of funds are arranged across the top moving from left to right.

     The body of the matrix is  derived by  allocating  the  longest  fixed rate
funding  sources to the  longest  fixed rate assets and  shorter  term  variable
sources to shorter term variable  uses.  The result is a graphical  depiction of
the time  periods  over  which we expect  to  experience  exposure  to rising or
falling rates. Since the scales of the liability and assets sides are identical,
all  numbers in the  matrix  would fall  within  the  diagonal  lines if we were
perfectly matched across all repricing time frames. Numbers outside the diagonal
lines  represent two general types of  mismatches:  liability  sensitive in time
frames when  numbers are to the left of the  diagonal  line and asset  sensitive
when numbers are to the right of the diagonal line.

     As can be seen in the Table 9 below,  we are asset  sensitive  in the short
term and then become slightly liability  sensitive.  This is primarily caused by
the   assumptions   used  in   allocating  a  repricing   term  to   nonmaturity
deposits-demand  deposits,  savings accounts, and money market deposit accounts.
While the traditional gap analysis and the matched funding matrix show a general
picture of our potential  sensitivity  to changes in interest  rates,  it cannot
quantify the actual impact of interest  rate  changes.  The actual impact due to
changes in interest  rates is difficult  to quantify in that the  administrative
ability to change rates on these  products is influenced by  competitive  market
conditions  in  changing  rate  environments,  prepayments  of  loans,  customer
demands, and many other factors.

     Thus, the Company  utilizes  simulation  modeling or "what if" scenarios to
quantify the potential  financial  implications of changes in interest rates. In
practice,  each quarter  approximately  14  different  "what if"  scenarios  are
evaluated.  At March 31, 2000,  the  following  12-month  impact on net interest
income is estimated to range from a positive  impact of 8% to a negative  impact
of 4% for the  multiple  scenarios.  In the next  12-month  period  the range of
impact on net interest income is estimated to be from a positive impact of 9% to
a negative impact of 4%. The Company believes this to be well within  acceptable
range given a wide variety of potential  interest  rate change  scenarios.  This
process is  performed  each quarter to ensure the Company is not  materially  at
risk to possible changes in interest rates.

NONINTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE

     Noninterest  income  consist  primarily  of  services  charges  on  deposit
accounts and fees and other charges for banking  services.  Noninterest  expense
consists  primarily  of salary and  benefit  costs and  occupancy  expense.  The
following tables shows the detail for the quarters ended March 31, 2000 and 1999
and for the fiscal year ended  December  31, 1999 and seven month  period  ended

     First Quarter 2000 versus First Quarter 1999. Noninterest expense increased
$198,000 or 56% from  $355,000  in the first  quarter of 1999 to $553,000 in the
first quarter of 2000. The increase in personnel expense is the result of adding
staff at our main office and the addition of the first branch in December  1999.
James  Monroe Bank opened in June 1998 with a staff of 9 personnel  and operated
with 9-10  personnel  until 1999.  The  significant  growth that we  experienced
required  adding  four  personnel  in  1999  in both  the  business  development
functions and in the operations  functions.  In December 1999,  four  additional
personnel were added to staff the new branch. No additional  personnel have been
added since that time.  In  addition  to  increased  staffing,  merit  increases
effective January 1 of each year contributed to the increase in personnel costs.

     Occupancy and  equipment  costs  increased  $33,000 in the first quarter of
2000 over the first quarter of 1999.  The increase is  predominately  due to the
rent and other costs of the new branch.  With respect to the $43,000 increase in
other expenses in the  comparative  quarters,  other expenses in connection with
the additional  facility,  higher data processing costs due to the growth of the
bank and the significant increase in the number of accounts being serviced,  and
the general overall higher costs to operate a significantly larger bank were the
cause of the increase.

     1999 versus 1998. Noninterest expense in 1999 totaled $727,000, an increase
of $910,000  over the period ended  December 31, 1998,  which  consisted of only
seven months of  operations.  In addition to the full twelve month  period,  the
increases in costs reflects  additional  personnel and occupancy costs resulting
from growth and branch expansion as discussed above.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

     Management  monitors  historical and projected  earnings,  asset growth, as
well as its  liquidity  and various  balance  sheet risks in order to  determine
appropriate  capital levels. At March 31, 2000,  stockholders'  equity increased
$82,000 or 1% from the  $6,599,000  of equity at December  31,  1999  reflecting
earnings of $112,000 partially off-set by a $30,000 negative after-tax change in
the fair value of securities for the quarter.  Stockholders'  equity at December
31, 1999,  was  $6,599,000 or a $60,000  decrease from  stockholders'  equity at
December 31, 1998, or $6,659,000  reflecting  earnings of $125,000 off-set by an
after tax decline in the fair value of securities  of $185,000.  Nineteen-ninety
nine was a period of rising  interest rates  resulting in an unrealized  loss on
the securities portfolio during this period.

     James Monroe  Bancorp has reported a steady  improvement  in earnings since
James Monroe Bank opened on June 8, 1998. Positive earnings were reported in the
ninth month of  operations  and  culminated  with  $125,000 of earnings in 1999.
Earnings for the first quarter of 2000 were $112,000,  nearly the earnings level
for the entire year of 1999.  We are making  every effort to restore the initial
lost  capital from the initial  organization  costs of $254,000 and the earnings
loss of $452,000 for 1998.  All but $469,000 of the initial  losses and start-up
costs has been recaptured  with earnings.  We expect to complete the recovery by
the end of 2000 and should have fully recovered the Net Operating Losses for tax
purposes  before the end of 2000.  There can be no assurance,  however,  that we
will be able to successfully continue our recent history of growth in earnings.

     Asset quality remains strong, the net interest margin has been consistently
over 5%,  and loan and  deposit  growth  continues  strong as well.  With  these
factors in place we believe the current  level of capital as  augmented  by this
offering and earnings,  will be adequate for the next two to three years,  based
upon  anticipated  rates of growth.  However,  if we experience  growth rates in
excess of the  levels we  currently  expect,  then  additional  capital  will be
required to support the higher  level of assets  before the  expiration  of that
period.  Additionally,  if  opportunities  for  establishment  or acquisition of
additional  branches  develop,  our  growth  rate  may  exceed  those  currently
anticipated,  possibly requiring additional capital earlier. The availability of
opportunities  to engage in  non-banking  activities may also require us to seek
additional capital sooner than currently anticipated.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

     For the quarter ended June 30, 2000, we had earnings of $212  thousand,  or
$0.28 per share, compared to $37,000, or $0.05 per share, during the same period
in 1999.  For the six  months  ended  June 30,  2000,  we earned a total of $324
thousand,  or $0.42 per share, as compared to $3 thousand,  or a fraction of one
cent per  share,  for the first six  months of 1999.  At June 30,  2000,  we had
consolidated  assets of $69.8  million,  deposits of $62.5  million,,  including
total loans of 42.9 million, and shareholders' equity of $6.9 million.

     The net interest margin was 5.54% for the three months ended June 30, 2000,
and was 5.45% for the six months  ended June 30,  2000 as  compared to 5.39% for
the three and six months  ended June 30, 2000.  We  experienced  no  charge-offs
during the first six months of 2000,  and had no  non-performing  loans or loans
identified as potential  problem loans.  At June 30, 2000 the allowance for loan
losses was $497 thousand, or 1.16% of total loans.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In June 1998, the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued  Financial
Accounting  Statement 133  "Accounting  for Derivative  Instruments  and Hedging
Activities."  FAS  133  establishes   accounting  and  reporting  standards  for
derivative financial instruments and other similar financial instruments and for
hedging   activities.   The  standard  also  allows  securities   classified  as
held-to-maturity  to be  transferred to the  available-for-sale  category at the
date of initial application of the standard. FAS 133 is effective for all fiscal
years  beginning  after June 15, 2000.

This  statement  is not  expected to have a  significant  impact on James Monroe
Bancorp  since,  as of the  date of  this  prospectus,  we  have  no  derivative
instruments and classify all of our securities as available-for-sale.

             BUSINESS OF JAMES MONROE BANCORP AND JAMES MONROE BANK

GENERAL

     James  Monroe  Bancorp  was  incorporated  under  the laws of the  State of
Virginia on April 9, 1999 to be the holding company for James Monroe Bank. James
Monroe  Bancorp  acquired all of the shares of James Monroe Bank on July 1, 1999
in a mandatory share exchange under which each outstanding share of common stock
of James Monroe Bank was exchanged for one share of James Monroe  Bancorp common
stock.  James Monroe  Bank, a Virginia  chartered  commercial  bank,  which is a
member of the Federal Reserve System, is James Monroe Bancorp's sole subsidiary.
James Monroe Bank  commenced  banking  operations on June 8, 1998, and currently
operates out of its main office and one branch  office.  James Monroe Bank seeks
to provide a high level of personal service and a sophisticated menu of products
to  individuals  and small to medium sized  businesses.  While James Monroe Bank
offers a full range of services to a wide array of depositors and borrowers,  it
has chosen the small to medium sized business,  professionals and the individual
retail customer as its primary target market. James Monroe Bank believes that as
financial   institutions  grow  and  are  merged  with  or  acquired  by  larger
institutions  with  headquarters that are far away from the local customer base,
the local business and individual is further  removed from the point of decision
making.  James  Monroe  Bank  attempts  to place the  customer  contact  and the
ultimate decision on products and credits as close together as possible.

LENDING ACTIVITIES

     James Monroe Bank offers a wide array of lending services to its customers,
including  commercial  loans,  lines of credit,  personal loans,  auto loans and
financing  arrangements  for personal  equipment  and business  equipment.  Loan
terms,  including  interest rates,  loan to value ratios,  and  maturities,  are
tailored as much as possible to meet the needs of the borrower. A special effort
is made to keep loan products as flexible as possible  within the  guidelines of
prudent banking practices in terms of interest rate risk and credit risk.

     When   considering   loan   requests,   the  primary   factors  taken  into
consideration  are the cash flow and financial  condition of the  borrower,  the
value  of the  underlying  collateral,  if  applicable,  and the  character  and
integrity  of the  borrower.  These  factors are  evaluated  in a number of ways
including an analysis of financial  statements,  credit reviews,  trade reviews,
and  visits  to  the  borrower's  place  of  business.  We  have  implemented  a
comprehensive  loan policy and  procedures  manual to provide our loan  officers
with term, collateral,  loan-to-value and pricing guidelines.  The policy manual
and sound credit analysis,  together with thorough review by the Asset-Liability
Committee,  have resulted in a profitable loan portfolio, with no non-performing
assets.

     Our aim is to build and maintain a commercial loan portfolio  consisting of
term  loans,  lines of credit and  commercial  real  estate  loans  provided  to
primarily locally-based borrowers. These types of loans are generally considered
to have a higher  degree of risk of default  or loss than other  types of loans,
such as  residential  real estate  loans,  because  repayment may be affected by
general  economic  conditions,  interest rates, the quality of management of the
business, and other factors which may cause a borrower to be unable to repay its
obligations.  Traditional installment loans and personal lines of credit will be
available on a selective basis.  General economic conditions can directly affect
the quality of a small and  mid-sized  business  loan  portfolio.  We attempt to
manage the loan  portfolio  to avoid  high  concentrations  of similar  industry
and/or collateral pools,  although this cannot be assured.  Approximately 45% of
the loan portfolio will be comprised of commercial mortgage loans, approximately
15% will consist of commercial term loans, approximately 20% in commercial lines
of credit and 15% in consumer loan products (car loans,  residential real estate
loans,  personal  lines of credit and other similar  forms of credit  products).
There  can be no  assurance  that  we  will be able  achieve  or  maintain  this
distribution of loans. At March 31, 2000 our loan portfolio's actual composition
consisted of approximately 21% commercial lines of credit,  48% commercial loans
secured  by real estate,  11% consumer  loans,  17% commercial term loans and 3%
government guaranteed commercial loans.

     Loan business is generated  primarily through referrals and  direct-calling
efforts. Referrals of loan business come from directors,  shareholders,  current
customers  and  professionals   such  as  lawyers,   accountants  and  financial
intermediaries.


                                       29

<PAGE>

     At March 31,  2000,  James Monroe  Bank's  statutory  lending  limit to any
single borrower was  $1,113,225,  subject to certain  exceptions  provided under
applicable law. As of March 31, 2000, James Monroe Bank's credit exposure to its
largest borrower was $984,837.

     Commercial  Loans.  Commercial loans are written for any business  purpose,
including  the  financing  of plant and  equipment,  the  carrying  of  accounts
receivable,  contract  administration,  and the acquisition and  construction of
real estate  projects.  Special  attention is paid to the commercial real estate
market which is particularly  active in the Northern Virginia market area. James
Monroe Bank's  commercial  loan portfolio  reflects a diverse group of borrowers
with no concentration in any borrower, or group of borrowers.

     The lending activities in which we engage carry the risk that the borrowers
will be unable to perform on their obligations.  As such, interest rate policies
of the Federal Reserve Board and general economic conditions,  nationally and in
our  primary  market  area will have a  significant  impact  on our  results  of
operations.  To the extent that economic  conditions  deteriorate,  business and
individual  borrowers may be less able to meet their obligations to James Monroe
Bank in full, in a timely manner,  resulting in decreased  earnings or losses to
James Monroe Bank. To the extent that loans are secured by real estate,  adverse
conditions  in the real  estate  market may reduce  ability of the  borrower  to
generate  the  necessary  cash flow for  repayment  of the loan,  and reduce our
ability to  collect  the full  amount of the loan upon a default.  To the extent
that James  Monroe Bank makes fixed rate loans,  general  increases  in interest
rates  will tend to reduce  our  spread  as the  interest  rates we must pay for
deposits  increase  while  interest  income  is flat.  Economic  conditions  and
interest  rates may also  adversely  affect  the value of  property  pledged  as
security for loans.

     We constantly  strive to mitigate risks in the event of unforeseen  threats
to the loan  portfolio  as a result of an economic  downturn  or other  negative
influences.  Plans for mitigating inherent risks in managing loan assets include
carefully  enforcing loan policies and  procedures,  evaluating  each borrower's
industry and business  plan during the  underwriting  process,  identifying  and
monitoring   primary  and  alternative   sources  for  repayment  and  obtaining
collateral that is margined to minimize loss in the event of liquidation.

     Commercial  real estate loans will  generally be owner  occupied or managed
transactions  with a principal  reliance on the borrower's  ability to repay, as
well as prudent  guidelines for assessing real estate values.  Risks inherent in
managing a commercial real estate  portfolio  relate to either sudden or gradual
drops in property values as a result of a general or local economic downturn.  A
decline in real estate  values can cause loan to value  margins to increase  and
diminish the bank's equity  cushion on both an individual  and portfolio  basis.
James Monroe Bank attempts to mitigate  commercial  real estate lending risks by
carefully  underwriting each loan of this type to address the perceived risks in
the  individual  transaction.  Generally,  James Monroe Bank  requires a loan to
value ratio of 75% of the lower of an appraisal or cost. A borrower's ability to
repay is  carefully  analyzed  and policy calls for an ongoing cash flow to debt
service  requirement  of 1.1:1.0.  An approved  list of  commercial  real estate
appraisers  selected on the basis of rigorous  standards  has been  established.
Each appraisal is scrutinized in an effort to insure current  comparable  market
values.

     As noted above,  commercial  real estates loans are generally made on owner
occupied or managed  properties where there is both a reliance on the borrower's
financial  health and the  ability of the  borrower  and the  business to repay.
Whenever  appropriate  and available,  James Monroe Bank seeks Federal and State
loan guarantees, such as the Small Business Administration's "7A" and "504" loan
programs,  to reduce  risks.  James  Monroe  Bank  generally  requires  personal
guarantees on all loans as a matter of policy  policy;  exceptions to policy are
documented.  All  borrowers  will  be  required  to  forward  annual  corporate,
partnership  and personal  financial  statements  to comply with bank policy and
enforced through the loan covenants documentation for each transaction. Interest
rate risks to James Monroe Bank are mitigated by using either floating  interest
rates or by fixing  rates for a short period of time,  generally  less than five
years.  While loan  amortizations  may be approved  for up to 360 months,  loans
generally  have  a  call  provision   (maturity  date)  of  10  years  or  less.
Non-specific provisions for loan loss reserves are generally set at 1.20% of the
portfolio value,  subject to adjustment depending on national and local economic
circumstances.  Specific reserves are used to increase overall reserves based on
increased  credit and/or  collateral  risks on an individual  loan basis. A risk
rating  system is used to  proactively  determine  loss  exposure  and provide a
measurement system for setting general and specific reserve allocations.

     Commercial  term loans are used to provide  funds for equipment and general
corporate needs.  This loan category is designed to support borrowers who have a
proven  ability to service debt over a term  generally  not to exceed 60 months.
James Monroe Bank generally requires a first lien position on all collateral and
guarantees from owners having at least a 20% interest in the involved  business.
Interest  rates on  commercial  term loans is generally  floating or fixed for a
term not to exceed  five  years.  Management  carefully  monitors  industry  and
collateral  concentrations  to avoid loan  exposures to a large group of similar
industries  and/or  similar  collateral.  Commercial  loans  are  evaluated  for
historical  and projected  cash flow  attributes,  balance sheet  strength,  and
primary and alternate  resources of personal  guarantors.  Commercial  term loan
documents require borrowers to forward regular financial information on both the
business  and on personal  guarantors.  Loan  covenants  require at least annual
submission  of  complete  financial   information  and  in  certain  cases  this
information  is  required  more  frequently,  depending  on the  degree to which
lenders  desire  information  resources  for  monitoring a borrower's  financial
condition and  compliance  with loan  covenants.  Examples of properly  margined
collateral for loans, as required by bank policy,  would be a 75% advance on the
lesser of appraisal or recent sales price on  commercial  property,  80% or less
advance on eligible  receivables,  50% or less advance on eligible inventory and
an  80%  advance  on  appraised  residential   property.   Collateral  borrowing
certificates  may be  required to monitor  certain  collateral  categories  on a
monthly or quarterly basis. Key person life insurance is required as appropriate
and as necessary to mitigate the risk loss of a primary owner or manager.

     James Monroe Bank attempts to further mitigate commercial term loan loss by
using  Federal and State loan  guarantee  programs such as offered by the United
States Small  Business  Administration.  The loan loss reserve of  approximately
1.20% of the entire portfolio in this group has been established.  Specific loan
reserves will be used to increase  overall  reserves  based on increased  credit
and/or  collateral  risks on an individual  loan basis.  A risk rating system is
used to proactively determine loss exposure and provide a measurement system for
setting general and specific reserve allocations.

     Commercial  lines of  credit  are used to  finance  a  business  borrower's
short-term  credit needs and/or to finance a percentage of eligible  receivables
and inventory.  In addition to the risks inherent in term loan facilities,  line
of credit  borrowers  typically  require  additional  monitoring  to protect the
lender  against  increasing  loan  volumes and  diminishing  collateral  values.
Commercial  lines of credit are generally  revolving in nature and require close
scrutiny.  James Monroe Bank  generally  requires at least an annual out of debt
period (for seasonal  borrowers) or regular  financial  information  (monthly or
quarterly financial statements, borrowing base certificates, etc.) for borrowers
with more growth and greater permanent working capital financing needs. Advances
against  collateral  are  generally  in the  same  percentages  as in term  loan
lending.  Lines of credit and term  loans to the same  borrowers  are  generally
cross-defaulted and cross-collateralized. Industry and collateral concentration,
general and specific reserve allocation and risk rating disciplines are the same
as those used in managing the  commercial  term loan  portfolio.  Interest  rate
charges on this group of loans generally float at a factor at or above the prime
lending rate. Generally, personal guarantees are required on these loans.

     As  part  of  its  internal  loan  review  process,   James  Monroe  Bank's
Asset-Liability  Committee,  comprised of loan  officers and staff,  reviews all
loans 30-days delinquent,  loans on the Watch List, loans rated special mention,
substandard,  or doubtful,  and other loans of concern at least quarterly.  Loan
reviews are reported to the Audit and  Examining  Committee  with any  adversely
rated changes specifically mentioned. All other loans with their respective risk
ratings are reported  monthly to James Monroe  Bank's  Board of  Directors.  The
Audit and Examining Committee  coordinates  periodic  documentation and internal
control reviews by outside vendors to complement loan reviews.

     Other Loans.  Loans are considered for any worthwhile  personal or business
purpose  on  a  case-by-case   basis,   such  as  the  financing  of  equipment,
receivables, contract administration expenses, land acquisition and development,
and automobile  financing.  Consumer credit facilities are underwritten to focus
on the  borrower's  credit  record,  length of employment  and cash flow to debt
service.  Car, residential real estate and similar loans require advances of the
lesser of 80% loan to  collateral  value or cost.  Loan loss  reserves  for this
group of loans are generally set at 1.2% subject to  adjustments  as required by
national or local economic conditions.

INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES

     The  investment  policy of James  Monroe  Bank is an  integral  part of its
overall  asset/liability   management  program.  The  investment  policy  is  to
establish a portfolio  which will  provide  liquidity  necessary  to  facilitate
funding  of

                                       31
<PAGE>


loans  and to cover  deposit  fluctuations  while at the same time  achieving  a
satisfactory  return on the funds invested.  James Monroe Bank seeks to maximize
earnings from its investment  portfolio consistent with the safety and liquidity
of those investment assets.

     The  securities  in which  James  Monroe  Bank may  invest  are  subject to
regulation  and,  for the  most  part,  are  limited  to  securities  which  are
considered  investment  grade  securities.  In  addition,  James  Monroe  Bank's
internal  investment policy restricts  investments to the following  categories:
U.S. Treasury securities;  obligations of U.S. government  agencies;  investment
grade  obligations of U.S.  private  corporations;  mortgage-backed  securities,
including  securities  issued by Federal National  Mortgage  Association and the
Federal Home Loan Mortgage  Corporation;  and securities of states and political
subdivisions,  all of which must be considered  investment grade by a recognized
rating  service.  See  Note  2 to  the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  and
"Management's  Discussion and Analysis" at page 15 for further information about
the investment portfolio.

SOURCES OF FUNDS

     Deposits.  Deposits obtained through bank offices have  traditionally  been
the  principal  source of James  Monroe  Bank's funds for use in lending and for
other general business  purposes.  At March 31, 2000 total deposits  amounted to
$54.3  million.  Non-interest  bearing  demand  accounts and money market demand
accounts were James Monroe Bank's primary source of deposit funds,  representing
over  32.5% and  37.5% of the  deposit  base,  respectively.  See  "Management's
Discussion and Analysis" at page 15 for additional  information  regarding James
Monroe Bank's deposit base. See also "Business of James Monroe Bancorp and James
Monroe Bank -- Proposed Legislation" below.

     In order to better  serve the needs of its  customers,  James  Monroe  Bank
offers  several  types of deposit  accounts in  addition  to  standard  savings,
checking,  and NOW accounts.  Special deposit accounts include the Clarendon and
Fairfax Money Market  Accounts which pays a higher rate of interest but requires
a larger minimum deposit.  Personal checking requires a $300 minimum balance and
may have no monthly fee, per check charge,  or activity  limit.  Small  Business
Checking allows a small business to pay no monthly service charge with a minimum
balance of $1,000 but limits the number of checks and deposits per month. If the
minimums are exceeded in this account, the small business automatically moves to
another  account  with a minimum  balance of $2,500 and would be  entitled  to a
higher minimum number of checks and deposits without incurring a monthly fee. If
the small  business  grows and exceeds these  minimums,  the regular  commercial
analysis  account is  available  where  adequate  balance can offset the cost of
activity.  Therefore,  the bank  offers a range of accounts to meet the needs of
the customer without the customer incurring charges or fees.

     Borrowing.  While we have not traditionally  placed significant reliance on
borrowings as a source of liquidity,  we have has established  various borrowing
arrangements in order to provide management with additional sources of liquidity
and funding,  thereby  increasing  flexibility.  Management  believes that James
Monroe Bancorp currently has adequate liquidity  available to respond to current
liquidity demands. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis" at page 15.

PROPOSED LEGISLATION

     A bill is  currently  pending in Congress  which would  permit banks to pay
interest on checking and demand deposit  accounts  established by businesses,  a
practice  which  is  currently   prohibited  by  regulation.   If  the  proposed
legislation  is enacted in its current form, of which there can be no assurance,
it is likely  that we may be required  to pay  interest  on some  portion of our
noninterest  bearing  deposits in order to compete  against  other  banks.  As a
significant  portion of our deposits,  32.5% at March 31, 2000, are non-interest
bearing demand deposits established by businesses,  payment of interest on these
deposits  could  have a  significant  negative  impact  on our net  income,  net
interest income, interest margin, return on assets and equity, and other indices
of financial performance. We expect that other banks would be faced with similar
negative  impacts.  We also expect that the primary focus of  competition  would
continue to be based on other factors, such as quality of service.

COMMUNITY REINVESTMENT ACT


                                       32

<PAGE>

     James Monroe Bank is  committed to serving the banking  needs of the entire
community,  including low and moderate  income areas,  and is a supporter of the
Community Reinvestment Act ("CRA"). There are several ways in which James Monroe
Bank  attempts to fulfill  this  commitment,  including  working  with  economic
development agencies,  undertaking special projects,  and becoming involved with
neighborhood outreach programs.

     James Monroe Bank has contacts  with state and city agencies that assist in
the financing of affordable  housing  developments  as well as with groups which
promote the economic  development of low and moderate income individuals.  James
Monroe Bank has computer software to  geographically  code all types of accounts
to track  business  development  and  performance  by census tract and to assess
market penetration in low and moderate income  neighborhoods  within the primary
service area.  James Monroe Bank is a registered  Small Business  Administration
lender.

     James Monroe  Bancorp  encourages its directors and officers to participate
in community, civic and charitable organizations.  Management and members of the
Board of  Directors  periodically  review the  various CRA  activities  of James
Monroe Bank,  including the  advertising  program and  geo-coding of real estate
loans  by  census   tract  data  which   specifically   focuses  on  low  income
neighborhoods,  its credit granting  process with respect to business  prospects
generated  in these  areas,  and its  involvement  with  community  leaders on a
personal level.

OFFICE PROPERTIES

     The executive  offices of James Monroe  Bancorp and James Monroe Bank,  and
the main  office of James  Monroe  Bank are  located at 3033  Wilson  Boulevard,
Arlington, Virginia. Our offices occupy 5,400 square feet on the ground floor of
a seven story office building,  including  approximately 1,800 feet used for the
banking lobby. We lease the property in which the main office is located under a
ten year lease at a current  monthly  rent of $13,600,  subject to fixed  annual
increases  of  approximately  3%  annually,  plus an  allocated  portion  of the
building  annual  operating  expenses.  There are no options to renew the lease.
James  Monroe  Bank has one  branch,  located  at 7023  Little  River  Turnpike,
Annandale,  Virginia. The branch consists of 1,445 square feet in a professional
office building.  The property is occupied under a five year lease,  terminating
on September 30, 2004, at a current  monthly rental of $2,450,  subject to fixed
annual  increases of  approximately  3%  annually.  We have options to renew the
lease for two additional five year terms.

     Management  believes the existing  facilities are adequate to conduct James
Monroe Bancorp's business.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     We are involved from time to time in routine legal proceedings occurring in
the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, final disposition
of these  matters  will not have a  material  adverse  effect  on our  financial
condition or results of operations.

COMPETITION

     In attracting  deposits and making  loans,  we encounter  competition  from
other institutions,  including larger commercial banking organizations,  savings
banks,  credit  unions,  other  financial  institutions  and non-bank  financial
service  companies   serving  our  market  area.   Financial  and  non-financial
institutions  not  located  in the  market  are also able to reach  persons  and
entities   based  in  the  market   through  mass   marketing,   the   internet,
telemarketing, and other means. The principal methods of competition include the
level of loan interest rates, interest rates paid on deposits, efforts to obtain
deposits,  range of services  provided  and the quality of these  services.  Our
competitors  include a number of major financial  companies whose  substantially
greater  resources may afford them a  marketplace  advantage by enabling them to
maintain  numerous  banking  locations  and  mount  extensive   promotional  and
advertising  campaigns.  In light of the  deregulation of the financial  service
industry and the absence of interest  rate  controls on deposits,  we anticipate
continuing   competition   from  all  of  these   institutions  in  the  future.
Additionally, as a result of legislation which

                                       33
<PAGE>

reduced  restrictions  on interstate  banking and widened the array of companies
that may own banks, we may face additional competition from institutions outside
our market and outside the traditional range of bank holding companies which may
take advantage of such  legislation to acquire or establish banks or branches in
our market.  There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully meet
these competitive challenges.

     In addition  to offering  competitive  rates for its banking  products  and
services,  our  strategy  for meeting  competition  has been to  concentrate  on
specific  segments  of the market for  financial  services,  particularly  small
business and individuals, by offering such customers customized and personalized
banking services.

     We believe that active  participation in civic and community  affairs is an
important factor in building our reputation and, thereby, attracting customers.

EMPLOYEES

     As of March 31, 2000,  James  Monroe Bank had 16 full-time  and 3 part-time
employees.  James Monroe  Bancorp has no employees who are not also employees of
James  Monroe  Bank.  Our  employees  are  not  represented  by  any  collective
bargaining  unit, and we believe our employee  relations are good.  James Monroe
Bank  maintains a benefit  program which includes  health and dental  insurance,
life and long-term disability insurance, and a 401(k) plan for substantially all
employees.

                           SUPERVISION AND REGULATION

JAMES MONROE BANCORP

     James Monroe Bancorp is a bank holding  company  registered  under the Bank
Holding  Company  Act of  1956,  as  amended,  (the  "Act")  and is  subject  to
supervision  by the Federal  Reserve  Board.  As a bank holding  company,  James
Monroe  Bancorp is be required to file with the Federal  Reserve Board an annual
report and such other  additional  information as the Federal  Reserve Board may
require   pursuant  to  the  Act.  The  Federal  Reserve  Board  may  also  make
examinations of James Monroe Bancorp and each of its subsidiaries.

     The Act requires  approval of the Federal  Reserve  Board for,  among other
things,  the  acquisition by a proposed bank holding  company of control of more
than five percent (5%) of the voting shares, or substantially all the assets, of
any bank or the merger or  consolidation  by a bank holding company with another
bank holding company.  The Act also generally  permits the acquisition by a bank
holding company of control, or substantially all the assets, of any bank located
in a state other than the home state of the bank holding  company,  except where
the bank has not been in existence  for the minimum  period of time  required by
state law,  but if the bank is at least 5 years old, the Federal  Reserve  Board
may approve the acquisition.

     Under current law, with certain limited exceptions,  a bank holding company
is prohibited  from acquiring  control of any voting shares of any company which
is not a bank or bank holding  company and from engaging  directly or indirectly
in any  activity  other  than  banking  or  managing  or  controlling  banks  or
furnishing services to or performing service for its authorized subsidiaries.  A
bank  holding  company  may,  however,  engage in or acquire an  interest  in, a
company  that  engages  in  activities  which  the  Federal  Reserve  Board  has
determined  by order or  regulation  to be so  closely  related  to  banking  or
managing or controlling banks as to be properly incident thereto. In making such
a  determination,  the Federal Reserve Board is required to consider whether the
performance of such activities can reasonably be expected to produce benefits to
the public, such as convenience,  increased  competition or gains in efficiency,
which  outweigh  possible  adverse  effects,  such  as  undue  concentration  of
resources,  decreased  or unfair  competition,  conflicts of interest or unsound
banking practices.  The Federal Reserve Board is also empowered to differentiate
between   activities   commenced  de  novo  and  activities   commenced  by  the
acquisition,  in whole or in part, of a going  concern.  Some of the  activities
that the  Federal  Reserve  Board has  determined  by  regulation  to be closely
related to banking include making or servicing  loans,  performing  certain data
processing  services,  acting as a fiduciary or investment or financial advisor,
and making investments in corporations or projects designed primarily to promote
community welfare.

                                       34
<PAGE>


     Effective  on March 11,  2000,  the Gramm Leach  Bliley Act (the "GLB Act")
allows a bank holding  company or other company to certify status as a financial
holding company,  which will allow such company to engage in activities that are
financial  in  nature,   that  are  incidental  to  such   activities,   or  are
complementary to such activities. The GLB Act enumerates certain activities that
are deemed financial in nature,  such as underwriting  insurance or acting as an
insurance principal, agent or broker, underwriting, dealing in or making markets
in securities,  and engaging in merchant banking under certain restrictions.  It
also  authorizes the Federal Reserve Board to determine by regulation what other
activities are financial in nature, or incidental or complementary thereto.

     Subsidiary  banks  of  a  bank  holding  company  are  subject  to  certain
restrictions  imposed by the Federal  Reserve Act on any extensions of credit to
the bank  company or any of its  subsidiaries,  or  investments  in the stock or
other  securities  thereof,  and on the  taking of such stock or  securities  as
collateral  for  loans to any  borrower.  Further,  a  holding  company  and any
subsidiary bank are prohibited  from engaging in certain tie-in  arrangements in
connection  with the  extension  of  credit.  A  subsidiary  bank may not extend
credit,  lease or sell  property,  or furnish any  services,  or fix or vary the
consideration for any of the foregoing,  on the condition that: (i) the customer
obtain or provide some additional  credit,  property or services from or to such
bank other than a loan,  discount,  deposit or trust service;  (ii) the customer
obtain or provide  some  additional  credit,  property or service from or to the
company or any other subsidiary of the company; or (iii) the customer not obtain
some other credit,  property or service from competitors,  except for reasonable
requirements to assure the soundness of credit extended.


     The Federal  Reserve has also adopted  capital  guidelines for bank holding
companies  that are  substantially  the same as those  applying to state  member
bank,  although these requirements are not currently  applicable to James Monroe
Bancorp.  See "Regulatory Capital  Requirements" at page 13 and "Supervision and
Regulation - James Monroe Bank" below.


JAMES MONROE BANK

     James Monroe Bank is a Virginia chartered commercial bank which is a member
of the Federal  Reserve  System.  Its deposit  accounts  are insured by the Bank
Insurance  Fund of the FDIC up to the maximum legal limits of the FDIC and it is
subject to  regulation,  supervision  and regular  examination  by the  Virginia
Bureau of Financial  Institutions  and the Federal  Reserve.  The regulations of
these  various  agencies  govern most aspects of James Monroe  Bank's  business,
including required reserves against deposits,  loans,  investments,  mergers and
acquisitions,  borrowings,  dividends and location and number of branch offices.
The laws and  regulations  governing  James  Monroe  Bank  generally  have  been
promulgated to protect  depositors and the deposit  insurance funds, and not for
the purpose of protecting stockholders.

     Competition  among commercial  banks,  savings and loan  associations,  and
credit unions has increased  following  enactment of  legislation  which greatly
expanded the ability of banks and bank holding companies to engage in interstate
banking  or  acquisition  activities.  The GLB Act will  allow a wider  array of
companies  to  own  banks,  which  could  result  in  companies  with  resources
substantially in excess of James Monroe Bancorp's entering into competition with
James Monroe Bancorp and James Monroe Bank.

     Banking is a business  which  depends on interest  rate  differentials.  In
general, the differences between the interest paid by a bank on its deposits and
its other  borrowings  and the interest  received by a bank on loans extended to
its customers and  securities  held in its investment  portfolio  constitute the
major portion of James Monroe Bank's earnings.  Thus, the earnings and growth of
James  Monroe  Bank will be  subject to the  influence  of  economic  conditions
generally,  both  domestic  and  foreign,  and also to the  monetary  and fiscal
policies of the United States and its agencies, particularly the Federal Reserve
Board,  which regulates the supply of money through various means including open
market dealings in United States government securities. The nature and timing of
changes  in such  policies  and their  impact  on James  Monroe  Bank  cannot be
predicted.

     Branching  and  Interstate  Banking.   The  federal  banking  agencies  are
authorized to approve  interstate  bank merger  transactions  without  regard to
whether such transaction is prohibited by the law of any state,  unless the home
state of one of the banks has opted out of the interstate bank merger provisions
of the Riegle-Neal  Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 (the
"Riegle-Neal Act") by adopting a law after the date of enactment of the Riegle-


                                       35

<PAGE>


Neal Act and prior to June 1, 1997,  which applies  equally to all  out-of-state
banks and expressly prohibits merger transactions  involving out-of-state banks.
Interstate  acquisitions  of branches are permitted only if the law of the state
in which the branch is located permits such  acquisitions.  Such interstate bank
mergers and branch acquisitions are also subject to the nationwide and statewide
insured deposit concentration limitations described in the Riegle-Neal Act.

     The  Riegle-Neal  Act  authorizes the federal  banking  agencies to approve
interstate  branching  de novo by  national  and  state  banks in  states  which
specifically  allow for such  branching.  Virginia has enacted laws which permit
interstate acquisitions of banks and bank branches and permit out-of-state banks
to establish de novo branches.

     Capital  Adequacy  Guidelines.   The  Federal  Reserve  Board  has  adopted
risk-based  capital  adequacy  guidelines  pursuant  to which  they  assess  the
adequacy  of  capital  in  examining  and  supervising  banks  and bank  holding
companies and in analyzing  bank  regulatory  applications.  Risk-based  capital
requirements  determine  the adequacy of capital  based on the risk  inherent in
various classes of assets and off-balance sheet items.

     State member banks are expected to meet a minimum ratio of total qualifying
capital (the sum of core capital (Tier 1) and supplementary capital (Tier 2)) to
risk  weighted  assets of 8%. At least half of this amount (4%) should be in the
form of core capital.

     Tier 1 Capital generally consists of the sum of common stockholders' equity
and perpetual  preferred stock (subject in the case of the latter to limitations
on the kind and amount of such stock  which may be  included as Tier 1 Capital),
less goodwill,  without adjustment for changes in the market value of securities
classified  as "available  for sale" in accordance  with FAS 115. Tier 2 Capital
consists of the following: hybrid capital instruments; perpetual preferred stock
which  is  not  otherwise  eligible  to be  included  as  Tier 1  Capital;  term
subordinated  debt  and  intermediate-term  preferred  stock;  and,  subject  to
limitations,  general allowances for loan losses.  Assets are adjusted under the
risk-based guidelines to take into account different risk characteristics,  with
the categories ranging from 0% (requiring no risk-based capital) for assets such
as cash,  to 100% for the bulk of  assets  which  are  typically  held by a bank
holding company,  including certain multi-family residential and commercial real
estate loans,  commercial  business loans and consumer loans.  Residential first
mortgage  loans  on one to four  family  residential  real  estate  and  certain
seasoned  multi-family  residential real estate loans,  which are not 90 days or
more  past-due or  non-performing  and which have been made in  accordance  with
prudent  underwriting  standards  are assigned a 50% level in the  risk-weighing
system, as are certain privately-issued  mortgage-backed securities representing
indirect  ownership of such loans.  Off-balance sheet items also are adjusted to
take into account certain risk characteristics.

     In addition to the risk-based  capital  requirements,  the Federal  Reserve
Board has  established a minimum 3.0% Leverage  Capital Ratio (Tier 1 Capital to
total adjusted  assets)  requirement for the most  highly-rated  banks,  with an
additional  cushion  of at least 100 to 200 basis  points  for all other  banks,
which  effectively  increases the minimum  Leverage Capital Ratio for such other
banks to 4.0% - 5.0% or more.  The  highest-rated  banks are those  that are not
anticipating or experiencing  significant growth and have well diversified risk,
including no undue interest rate risk exposure,  excellent  asset quality,  high
liquidity,  good earnings and, in general,  those which are  considered a strong
banking organization. A bank having less than the minimum Leverage Capital Ratio
requirement  shall,  within  60 days of the date as of which it fails to  comply
with such requirement,  submit a reasonable plan describing the means and timing
by which a bank shall achieve its minimum Leverage Capital Ratio requirement.  A
bank which  fails to file such plan is deemed to be  operating  in an unsafe and
unsound manner,  and could subject that bank to a  cease-and-desist  order.  Any
insured  depository  institution with a Leverage Capital Ratio that is less than
2.0% is deemed to be  operating  in an unsafe or unsound  condition  pursuant to
Section 8(a) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (the "FDIA") and is subject to
potential  termination of deposit insurance.  However,  such an institution will
not be subject to an  enforcement  proceeding  solely on account of its  capital
ratios,  if it has entered into and is in compliance with a written agreement to
increase  its  Leverage  Capital  Ratio and to take such other  action as may be
necessary for the  institution  to be operated in a safe and sound  manner.  The
capital  regulations  also provide,  among other  things,  for the issuance of a
capital  directive,  which  is a final  order  issued  to a bank  that  fails to
maintain  minimum  capital or to restore  its  capital  to the  minimum  capital
requirement within a specified time period. Such directive is enforceable in the
same manner as a final cease-and-desist order.

     Prompt  Corrective  Action.  Under  Section  38 of the FDIA,  each  federal
banking agency is required to implement a system of prompt corrective action for
institutions  which it regulates.  The federal banking agencies have promulgated
substantially  similar  regulations to implement the system of prompt corrective
action  established  by Section 38 of the FDIA.  Under the  regulations,  a bank
shall be  deemed to be:  (i) "well  capitalized"  if it has a Total  Risk  Based
Capital  Ratio of 10.0% or more,  a Tier 1 Risk Based  Capital  Ratio of 6.0% or
more, a Leverage Capital Ratio of 5.0% or more and is not subject to any written
capital order or directive; (ii) "adequately capitalized" if it has a Total Risk
Based  Capital  Ratio of 8.0% or more, a Tier 1 Risk Based Capital Ratio of 4.0%
or more and a Tier 1 Leverage  Capital Ratio of 4.0% or more (3.0% under certain
circumstances)  and does not meet the  definition of "well  capitalized;"  (iii)
"undercapitalized"  if it has a Total Risk Based Capital Ratio that is less than
8.0%,  a Tier 1 Risk  based  Capital  Ratio that is less than 4.0% or a Leverage
Capital  Ratio that is less than 4.0% (3.0% under certain  circumstances);  (iv)
"significantly undercapitalized" if it has a Total Risk Based Capital Ratio that
is less than 6.0%, a Tier 1 Risk Based Capital Ratio that is less than 3.0% or a
Leverage   Capital   Ratio  that  is  less  than  3.0%;   and  (v)   "critically
undercapitalized"  if it has a ratio of tangible  equity to total assets that is
equal to or less than 2.0%.

     An institution generally must file a written capital restoration plan which
meets specified  requirements with an appropriate  federal banking agency within
45 days of the date the institution  receives notice or is deemed to have notice
that  it  is  undercapitalized,  significantly  undercapitalized  or  critically
undercapitalized.  A federal  banking agency must provide the  institution  with
written  notice of  approval  or  disapproval  within 60 days after  receiving a
capital restoration plan, subject to extensions by the applicable agency.

     An institution which is required to submit a capital  restoration plan must
concurrently  submit a  performance  guaranty by each company that  controls the
institution. Such guaranty shall be limited to the lesser of (i) an amount equal
to 5.0% of the  institution's  total  assets  at the  time the  institution  was
notified  or  deemed to have  notice  that it was  undercapitalized  or (ii) the
amount  necessary at such time to restore the relevant  capital  measures of the
institution  to the levels  required for the  institution  to be  classified  as
adequately  capitalized.  Such a guaranty shall expire after the federal banking
agency notifies the institution that it has remained adequately  capitalized for
each of four consecutive calendar quarters. An institution which fails to submit
a written capital  restoration plan within the requisite  period,  including any
required performance  guaranty,  or fails in any material respect to implement a
capital  restoration plan, shall be subject to the restrictions in Section 38 of
the FDIA which are applicable to significantly undercapitalized institutions.

     A   "critically   undercapitalized   institution"   is  to  be   placed  in
conservatorship  or  receivership  within  90  days  unless  the  FDIC  formally
determines  that  forbearance  from such action would better protect the deposit
insurance fund. Unless the FDIC or other appropriate  federal banking regulatory
agency makes specific  further  findings and certifies  that the  institution is
viable and is not  expected to fail,  an  institution  that  remains  critically
undercapitalized on average during the fourth calendar quarter after the date it
becomes critically undercapitalized must be placed in receivership.  The general
rule is that the FDIC will be appointed as receiver  within 90 days after a bank
becomes critically  undercapitalized unless extremely good cause is shown and an
extension  is agreed to by the federal  regulators.  In  general,  good cause is
defined  as  capital  which has been  raised  and is  imminently  available  for
infusion into a bank except for certain technical  requirements  which may delay
the infusion for a period of time beyond the 90 day time period.

     Immediately  upon becoming  undercapitalized,  an institution  shall become
subject to the provisions of Section 38 of the FDIA,  which (i) restrict payment
of capital  distributions and management fees; (ii) require that the appropriate
federal  banking agency monitor the condition of the institution and its efforts
to restore its capital;  (iii) require submission of a capital restoration plan;
(iv)  restrict the growth of the  institution's  assets;  and (v) require  prior
approval of certain expansion proposals.  The appropriate federal banking agency
for an  undercapitalized  institution  also may take any number of discretionary
supervisory  actions  if the  agency  determines  that any of these  actions  is
necessary  to resolve the  problems  of the  institution  at the least  possible
long-term  cost to the  deposit  insurance  fund,  subject in  certain  cases to
specified procedures. These discretionary supervisory actions include: requiring
the  institution to raise  additional  capital;  restricting  transactions  with
affiliates;  requiring  divestiture  of  the  institution  or  the  sale  of the
institution to a willing  purchaser;  and any other supervisory  action that the
agency  deems  appropriate.   These  and  additional  mandatory  and  permissive
supervisory actions may be taken with respect to significantly  undercapitalized
and critically undercapitalized institutions.

     Additionally, under Section 11(c)(5) of the FDIA, a conservator or receiver
may be appointed for an  institution  where:  (i) an  institution's  obligations
exceed its assets;  (ii) there is substantial  dissipation of the  institution's
assets or earnings as a result of any  violation of law or any unsafe or unsound
practice; (iii) the institution is in an unsafe or unsound condition; (iv) there
is a willful  violation of a  cease-and-desist  order;  (v) the  institution  is
unable to pay its obligations in the ordinary course of business; (vi) losses or
threatened losses deplete all or substantially all of an institution's  capital,
and there is no reasonable prospect of becoming "adequately capitalized" without
assistance; (vii) there is any violation of law or unsafe or unsound practice or
condition  that is likely to cause  insolvency  or  substantial  dissipation  of
assets or earnings,  weaken the institution's  condition, or otherwise seriously
prejudice  the  interests  of  depositors  or  the  insurance  fund;  (viii)  an
institution ceases to be insured;  (ix) the institution is undercapitalized  and
has no reasonable prospect that it will become adequately capitalized,  fails to
become  adequately  capitalized  when  required  to do so, or fails to submit or
materially  implement a capital  restoration  plan;  or (x) the  institution  is
critically undercapitalized or otherwise has substantially insufficient capital.

     Regulatory  Enforcement  Authority.  Federal banking law grants substantial
enforcement  powers to federal banking  regulators.  This enforcement  authority
includes,  among other things,  the ability to assess civil money penalties,  to
issue  cease-and-desist  or removal  orders and to initiate  injunctive  actions
against banking  organizations and  institution-affiliated  parties. In general,
these  enforcement   actions  may  be  initiated  for  violations  of  laws  and
regulations  and unsafe or unsound  practices.  Other  actions or inactions  may
provide  the basis for  enforcement  action,  including  misleading  or untimely
reports filed with regulatory authorities.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

     James Monroe Bank provides all officers and full-time  employees with group
life and medical and dental insurance coverage.

     401(k)  Plan.  James  Monroe  Bancorp  has a  defined  contribution  401(k)
retirement  plan which  covers  employees  that meet  certain  age and length of
service  requirements.  The Company does not currently  contribute to the 401(k)
plan nor does it currently match employee contributions.

     Stock Option Plans. Under James Monroe Bancorp's 1998 Management  Incentive
Stock Option  Plan,  approved by  stockholders  in 1998 and amended in 1999 (the
"1998 Option  Plan"),  91,800  shares of common stock are available for issuance
under options granted between 1998 and 2008. The purpose of the 1998 Option Plan
is to enable James Monroe Bancorp to attract, retain and incentivize outstanding
employees  for  James  Monroe  Bancorp  and  James  Monroe  Bank,  and to reward
excellent  performance  by the employees and to further the growth,  development
and  financial  success of James Monroe  Bancorp.  Eligible  employees are those
employees,  including officers,  who at the time options are granted, are deemed
to be "key  employees"  by the  Board  of  Directors.  The  Board  of  Directors
administers  the 1998 Option Plan. As of March 31, 2000,  there was an aggregate
of 54,630 options to purchase shares of common stock  outstanding under the 1998
Option Plan, at $10.00 per share, 64,130 options had been allocated for issuance
to certain employees upon achievement of certain  performance  goals, and 27,750
options remained available for issuance.

     Employment  Agreements  The Bank and Bancorp have entered into an agreement
with Mr.  Maxwell  pursuant to which Mr.  Maxwell  serves as President and Chief
Executive Officer of each institution.  Without cause or Mr. Maxwell's  consent,
he may not be  removed  from these  positions,  nor may any  executive  position
higher than Mr.  Maxwell's be  established.  The initial  term of Mr.  Maxwell's
agreement expires on May 31, 2002, and is subject to


                                       42

<PAGE>


automatic one-year  extensions on each June 1, provided that neither the company
nor Mr.  Maxwell has given written  notice of intention not to renew at least 90
days prior to the renewal date.  The agreement  provides for the payment of cash
and other benefits to Mr.  Maxwell,  including a base salary of $125,000  during
the  period  June  1,  1999 to May 31,  2000.  Mr.  Maxwell's  base  salary  for
subsequent  periods  is  subject  to annual  review  by the Board of  Directors,
provided  that the salary  may not be less than 105% of his base  salary for the
prior period. Mr. Maxwell is entitled to an annual bonus determined by the Board
of Directors,  $1,000,000 of Bank paid life insurance (subject to increase based
upon the percentage increase in base salary),  use of a Bank owned or leased car
and an  automobile  allowance,  and is entitled to  reimbursement  of reasonable
business  expenses.  Under the  agreement,  Mr.  Maxwell  has been  granted  non
qualified options to purchase 36,880 shares of common stock at an exercise price
of $10.00 per share,  vesting  over a three year period  ending on June 1, 2001,
exercisable  through May 31,  2008,  regardless  of earlier  termination  of the
agreement or Mr.  Maxwell's  employment or the reason for the  termination.  Mr.
Maxwell is entitled to  reimbursement  of income taxes payable upon the exercise
of the  options,  up to the amount of the tax  benefit  realized by Bancorp as a
result of the exercise, and under certain circumstances,  to registration of the
shares under the securities laws. Mr. Maxwell is also entitled to participate in
any  pension,   retirement,   profit  sharing,  stock  purchase,  stock  option,
insurance,  deferred  compensation  and other  benefit  plans  provided to other
executives or employees.

     The agreement  terminates as of the end of the initial or any renewal terms
if either party gives notice of  nonrenewal.  If Mr. Maxwell elects not to renew
the agreement,  he is not entitled to any additional payments, and is subject to
a two year noncompetition  agreement. If the Bank or Bancorp elects not to renew
the agreement,  Mr. Maxwell is entitled to receive continued  salary,  bonus and
benefits for 18 months, and is subject to the noncompetition  agreement for that
period. If the agreement is terminated by Mr. Maxwell, at his option, within six
months of a "change in control" (as defined),  Mr.  Maxwell shall be entitled to
receive continued salary, bonus and benefits for one year, and is subject to the
noncompetition  agreement for that period. If the agreement is terminated by the
Bank or Bancorp in breach of the  agreement,  Mr. Maxwell is entitled to receive
continued  salary,  bonus and benefits for 12 months,  and is not subject to the
noncompetition  agreement.  The agreement prohibits  conflicts of interest,  and
requires that Mr. Maxwell maintain the confidentiality of nonpublic  information
regarding the Bank, Bancorp and its customers.

     Certain  Transactions  with  Management.  James Monroe Bancorp has had, and
expects to have in the future,  banking  transactions  in the ordinary course of
business  with  some  of  its  directors,  officers,  and  employees  and  their
associates. In the past, substantially all of such transactions have been on the
same terms, including interest rates,  maturities and collateral requirements as
those  prevailing at the time for comparable  transactions  with  non-affiliated
persons  and did not  involve  more than the normal  risk of  collectibility  or
present other unfavorable features.

     The maximum aggregate amount of loans to officers, directors and affiliates
of  James  Monroe  Bancorp   during  1999  amounted  to  $980,900   representing
approximately 14.7% of total  shareholders'  equity at December 31, 1999. In the
opinion  of the  Board  of  Directors,  the  terms of  these  loans  are no less
favorable  to James  Monroe  Bancorp  than  terms of the  loans to  unaffiliated
parties. On December 31, 1999, $737,500 of loans were outstanding to individuals
who,  during  1999,  were  officers,  directors  of  affiliates  of James Monroe
Bancorp.  At the time  each  loan was made,  management  believed  that the loan
involved  no more than the normal  risk of  collectibility  and did not  present
other unfavorable  features.  None of such loans were classified as Substandard,
Doubtful or Loss.

                         SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

     All  shares  sold  in  this  offering  will  be  freely  tradable   without
restriction or  registration  under the  Securities Act of 1933,  except for any
shares  purchased  by an  "affiliate"  of James  Monroe  Bancorp,  which will be
subject  to  the  resale  limitations  set  forth  in  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission Rule 144.

     All of James Monroe Bancorp's directors are considered  "affiliates" within
the meaning of Rule 144 and will, therefore, be subject to the applicable resale
limitations with respect to the shares  purchased in this offering.  In general,
the number of shares that can be sold by each director in brokers' transactions,
(as that term is used in Rule 144) within any three month  period may not exceed
the greater of (i) one percent  (1%) of the  outstanding  shares as shown by the
most recent  report or statement  published by the company,  or (ii) the average
weekly  reported  volume of  trading in the  shares on all  national  securities
exchanges and/or reported through the automated quotation system of a registered
securities association during the four calendar weeks preceding the sale.

                          DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

     James Monroe Bancorp's  authorized  capital consists of 2,000,000 shares of
common stock,  $1.00 par value. As of March 31, 2000,  there were 744,290 shares
of common stock outstanding.

     Common  Stock.  Holders of common  stock are  entitled to cast one vote for
each share held of record,  to receive such  dividends as may be declared by the
Board of Directors out of legally available funds, and, subject to the rights of
any class of stock having  preference to the common  stock,  to share ratably in
any distribution of James Monroe Bancorp's assets after payment of all debts and
other liabilities, upon liquidation,  dissolution or winding up. Shareholders do
not have  cumulative  voting  rights or  preemptive  rights  or other  rights to
subscribe  for  additional  shares,  and the  common  stock  is not  subject  to
conversion  or  redemption.  The  shares  of  common  stock to be issued in this
offering will be, when issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

     Limitations  on Payment of  Dividends.  The payment of  dividends  by James
Monroe  Bancorp  will depend  largely  upon the ability of James  Monroe Bank to
declare and pay dividends to James Monroe  Bancorp,  as the principle  source of
James Monroe Bancorp's revenue will be from dividends paid by James Monroe Bank.
Dividends will depend primarily upon the bank's earnings,  financial  condition,
and need for funds, as well as governmental policies and regulations  applicable
to James Monroe  Bancorp and James  Monroe  Bank.  Even if James Monroe Bank and
James Monroe Bancorp have earnings in an amount sufficient to pay dividends, the
Board of Directors may  determine to retain  earnings for the purpose of funding
the growth of James Monroe Bank and James Monroe Bancorp.

     Regulations  of the Federal  Reserve and  Virginia  law place limits on the
amount of dividends  James Monroe Bank may pay to James Monroe  Bancorp  without
prior  approval.  Prior  regulatory  approval is required to pay dividends which
exceed  James  Monroe  Bank's net profits for the current year plus its retained
net profits for the preceding  two calendar  years,  less required  transfers to
surplus. Federal bank regulatory agencies also have authority to prohibit a bank
from  paying  dividends  if such  payment  is deemed to be an unsafe or  unsound
practice, and the Federal Reserve Board has the same authority over bank holding
companies.

     The Federal  Reserve Board has  established  guidelines with respect to the
maintenance  of  appropriate  levels  of  capital  by  registered  bank  holding
companies.  Compliance with such standards,  as presently in effect,  or as they
may be amended from time to time,  could  possibly limit the amount of dividends
that James Monroe Bancorp may pay in the future.  In 1985,  the Federal  Reserve
Board issued a policy statement on the payment of cash dividends by bank holding
companies. In the statement, the Federal Reserve Board expressed its view that a
holding company  experiencing  earnings weaknesses should not pay cash dividends
exceeding its net income,  or which could only be funded in ways that weaken the
holding  company's  financial  health,  such as by  borrowing.  As a  depository
institution,  the  deposits of which are insured by the FDIC,  James Monroe Bank
may not pay dividends or distribute  any of its capital  assets while it remains
in default on any  assessment  due the FDIC.  See "Market  for Common  Stock and
Dividends" at page 14.

CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION AND VIRGINIA LAW

     James  Monroe  Bancorp's  Articles  of  Incorporation  do not  contain  any
provisions  which  would  require  a  greater  or  lesser  than  normal  vote of
shareholders, any provisions which impose special approval or other requirements
on corporate  transactions or other matters, or which could be deemed to have an
antitakeover  effect.  The Virginia Stock  Corporation Act (the "VSCA") which is
applicable  to James  Monroe  Bancorp and the holders of common  stock  contains
provisions which could be deemed to have an antitakeover  effect. The discussion
of the following provisions is not exhaustive, and is not intended to imply that
all material  provisions of either the Articles of Incorporation or the FBCA are
enumerated herein.

     Affiliated Transactions. The VSCA contains provisions governing "affiliated
transactions."  These  include  various  transactions  such  as  mergers,  share
exchanges, sales, leases, or other material dispositions of assets, issuances of
securities,   dissolutions,   and  similar   transactions  with  an  "interested
shareholder."  An interested  shareholder is generally the  beneficial  owner of
more than 10% of any class of a corporation's  outstanding voting shares. During
the  three  years  following  the  date  a  shareholder  becomes  an  interested
shareholder, any affiliated


                                       44

<PAGE>


transaction with the interested  shareholder must be approved by both a majority
of the "disinterested  directors" (those directors who were directors before the
interested  shareholder became an interested shareholder or who were recommended
for election by a majority of  disinterested  directors) and by the  affirmative
vote of the holders of two-thirds of the corporation's  voting shares other than
shares beneficially owned by the interested  shareholder.  These requirements do
not apply to affiliated  transactions  if, among other things, a majority of the
disinterested  directors  approve the  interested  shareholder's  acquisition of
voting  shares  making  such a person  an  interested  shareholder  before  such
acquisition.  Beginning three years after the shareholder  becomes an interested
shareholder,  the corporation may engage in an affiliated  transaction  with the
interested shareholder if:

     o    the  transaction  is  approved  by the  holders of  two-thirds  of the
          corporation's  voting shares,  other than shares beneficially owned by
          the interested shareholder,

     o    the  affiliated  transaction  has been  approved  by a majority of the
          disinterested    directors,   or   subject   to   certain   additional
          requirements, in the affiliated transaction the holders of each class

     o    or  series  of  voting  shares  will  receive   consideration  meeting
          specified  fair price and other  requirements  designed to ensure that
          all shareholders receive fair and equivalent consideration, regardless
          of when they tendered their shares.

     Control Share  Acquisitions.  Under the VSCA's  control share  acquisitions
law, voting rights of shares of stock of a Virginia  corporation  acquired by an
acquiring person or other entity at ownership levels of 20%, 33 1/3%, and 50% of
the outstanding shares may, under certain  circumstances,  be denied. The voting
rights may be denied:

     o    unless  conferred by a special  shareholder  vote of a majority of the
          outstanding  shares entitled to vote for directors,  other than shares
          held  by the  acquiring  person  and  officers  and  directors  of the
          corporation, or

     o    among other exceptions, such acquisition of shares is made pursuant to
          a affiliation  agreement  with the  corporation  or the  corporation's
          articles of  incorporation  or by-laws permit the  acquisition of such
          shares before the acquiring person's acquisition thereof.

     If authorized in the  corporation's  articles of  incorporation or by-laws,
the statute also permits the  corporation  to redeem the acquired  shares at the
average per share price paid for them if the voting  rights are not  approved or
if the acquiring  person does not file a "control share  acquisition  statement"
with the corporation  within sixty days of the last  acquisition of such shares.
If voting rights are approved for control shares comprising more than 50% of the
corporation's  outstanding stock,  objecting  shareholders may have the right to
have  their  shares  repurchased  by  the  corporation  for  "fair  value."  The
provisions  of  the  Affiliated  Transactions  Statute  and  the  Control  Share
Acquisition  Statute are only applicable to public  corporations  that have more
than  300   shareholders.   Corporations   may  provide  in  their  articles  of
incorporation or bylaws to opt-out of the Control Share Acquisition Statute, but
we have not done so.

     Supermajority   Voting  Provisions.   The  VSCA  provides  that,  unless  a
corporation's  articles  of  incorporation  provide  for a higher or lower vote,
certain  significant  corporate actions must be approved by the affirmative vote
of the holders of more than  two-thirds of the votes  entitled to be cast on the
matter.  Corporate actions  requiring a two-thirds vote include  amendments to a
corporation's  articles of  incorporation,  adoption of plans of  affiliation or
exchange, sales of all or substantially all of a corporation's assets other than
in the  ordinary  course  of  business  and  adoption  of plans  of  dissolution
("Fundamental  Actions").  The VSCA provides that a  corporation's  articles may
either increase the vote required to approve Fundamental Actions or may decrease
the required vote to not less than a majority of the votes  entitled to be cast.
The  articles  of  incorporation  of James  Monroe  Bancorp do not  contain  any
provisions altering the vote required for any Fundamental Action.

                                  LEGAL MATTERS

     The validity of the securities offered hereby will be passed upon for James
Monroe Bancorp by Kennedy, Baris & Lundy, L.L.P., Bethesda, Maryland. Members of

     The audited  financial  statements of James Monroe  Bancorp,  Inc. for year
ended  December  31,  1999  which are  included  in this  prospectus,  have been
included in reliance upon the report of Yount, Hyde & Barbour, P.C., independent
certified public accountants,  and upon the authority of said firm as experts in
accounting and auditing.

     On May 24,  1999,  Keller  Bruner & Company,  LLP  ("Keller  Bruner"),  the
independent  certified  public  accountants  which  audited  James Monroe Bank's
financial  statements  for the period from June 8, 1998 and ending  December 31,
1998,  was dismissed by the Board of Directors  upon the  recommendation  of the
audit  committee.  Keller  Bruner's  report  on James  Monroe  Bank's  financial
statements for the period from June 8, 1998 and ending December 31, 1998 did not
contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and were not modified as to
uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

     During the period June 8, 1998 (date of inception) to December 31, 1998 and
through the date on which they were dismissed,  there were no disagreements with
Keller  Bruner on any matter of accounting  principles  or practices,  financial
statement  disclosure,  audit scope or procedure  which,  if not resolved to its
satisfaction,  would have caused it to make  reference to such  disagreement  in
connection with its report.

     Yount, Hyde & Barbour, P.C. was retained by James Monroe Bancorp on May 24,
1999 to audit its financial  statements  for fiscal year 1999 as its  certifying
accountant.  The appointment of Yount, Hyde and Barbour, P.C. was recommended by
the audit  committee  of the Board of  Directors  and  approved  by the Board of
Directors.  There were no consultations  between James Monroe Bancorp and Yount,
Hyde & Barbour.  P.C. regarding the application of accounting  principles to any
matter,  or as to any type of  opinion  that  might be  issued  on James  Monroe
Bancorp's financial statements.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT


To the Stockholders and Directors
James Monroe Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary
Arlington, Virginia

     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of James Monroe
Bancorp,  Inc.  and  Subsidiary  as  of  December  31,  1999,  and  the  related
consolidated  statements  of income,  changes in  stockholders'  equity and cash
flows for the year ended December 31, 1999.  These financial  statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion  on  these  financial  statements  based  on our  audit.  The  financial
statements  of James Monroe Bank as of December 31, 1998 and for the period June
8, 1998  (commencement  of banking  operations)  through  December 31, 1998 were
audited by other  auditors whose report,  dated February 17, 1999,  expressed an
unqualified opinion on those statements.

     We conducted  our audit in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion,  the consolidated  financial  statements  referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of James Monroe
Bancorp,  Inc. and  Subsidiary  as of December 31, 1999,  and the results of its
operations  and its cash  flows  for the year then  ended,  in  conformity  with
generally accepted accounting principles.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



NOTE 1. NATURE OF BANKING ACTIVITIES AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

On May 27,  1999,  the  stockholders  of James  Monroe  Bank voted in favor of a
merger to become a wholly owned subsidiary of James Monroe Bancorp,  Inc., which
became a newly formed one-bank holding company.

Upon consummation of the reorganization effective July 1, 1999, each outstanding
common  share of James Monroe Bank was  exchanged  for one share of James Monroe
Bancorp, Inc. common stock, par value $1 per share. The exchange of shares was a
tax-free  transaction for federal income tax purposes.  The merger was accounted
for on the same basis as a  pooling-of-interests  and financial  statements  for
prior  periods  are   identical  to  the   financial   statement  of  the  Bank.
Stockholders'  equity has been restated to reflect this transaction in all prior
periods.

James Monroe Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary (the Corporation) offers various loan,
deposit  and other  financial  service  products to its  customers,  principally
located throughout Northern Virginia.  Additionally,  the Corporation  maintains
correspondent   banking   relationships   and  transacts   daily  federal  funds
transactions on an unsecured basis, with regional correspondent banks.

The accounting and reporting  policies and practices of the Corporation  conform
with generally accepted accounting principles. The following is a summary of the
most significant of such policies and procedures.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The  consolidated  financial  statements  include the  accounts of James  Monroe
Bancorp,   Inc.  and  its  wholly  owned  subsidiary,   James  Monroe  Bank.  In
consolidation,  significant  intercompany  accounts and  transactions  have been
eliminated.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect  the  reported  amounts  of  asset  and  liabilities  and  disclosure  of
contingent  assets and  liabilities at the date of the financial  statements and
the  reported  amounts of revenues  and expenses  during the  reporting  period.
Actual results could differ from those  estimates.  Material  estimates that are
particularly  susceptible to  significant  change in the near term relate to the
determination of the allowance for loan losses and the valuation of deferred tax
assets.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

For purposes of reporting  cash flows,  cash and due from banks  include cash on
hand and amounts due from banks, including cash items in process of clearing.

SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE

Securities  classified as available for sale are equity  securities with readily
determinable fair values and those debt securities that the Corporation  intends
to hold for an indefinite  period of time but not  necessarily to maturity.  Any
decision to sell a security  classified  as available for sale would be based on
various factors,  including  significant movements in interest rates, changes in
the maturity mix of the Corporation's  assets and liabilities,  liquidity needs,
regulatory capital  considerations,  and other similar factors. These securities
are carried at fair value,  with any  unrealized  gains or losses  reported as a
separate component of other comprehensive income net of the related deferred tax
effect.  Interest  income,  including  amortization of premiums and accretion of
discounts,  computed by the interest  method,  is included in interest income in
the statements of income.

LOANS

The Corporation grants mortgage,  commercial and consumer loans to customers.  A
substantial  portion of the loan  portfolio is  represented  by commercial  real
estate loans  throughout  Northern  Virginia.  The ability of the  Corporation's
debtors to honor their  contracts is dependent  upon the real estate and general
economic conditions in this area.

Loans that  management  has the intent and  ability to hold for the  foreseeable
future or until maturity or pay-off  generally are reported at their outstanding
unpaid  principal  balances  adjusted for the  allowance for loan losses and any
deferred fees or costs on originated  loans.  Interest  income is accrued on the
unpaid  principal  balance.   Loan  origination  fees,  net  of  certain  direct
origination  costs,  are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the related
loan yield using the interest method.

Interest on loans is accrued based on the principal amounts  outstanding.  Loans
are placed on nonaccrual  status when principal or interest is delinquent for 90
days or more.  Any unpaid  interest  previously  accrued on nonaccrual  loans is
reversed from income.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The  allowance  for loan losses is  established  as losses are estimated to have
occurred  through a provision for loan losses  charged to earnings.  Loan losses
are charged against the allowance when management believes the  uncollectibility
of a loan balance is confirmed.  Subsequent recoveries,  if any, are credited to
the allowance.

Because the Bank has no history of loan losses,  the current  policy is to build
an  allowance  for loan  losses  of  approximately  1.20% of total  loans.  This
percentage was determined  based on peer group experience and the composition of
the Bank's loan portfolio.

In the future,  the  allowance  for loan losses will be  evaluated  on a regular
basis by management,  and will be based upon management's periodic review of the
collectibility  of the loans in light of historical  experience,  the nature and
volume of the loan portfolio,  adverse situations that may affect the borrower's
ability to repay,  estimated  value of any underlying  collateral and prevailing
economic conditions.  This evaluation is inherently  subjective,  as it requires
estimates  that are  susceptible  to  significant  revision as more  information
becomes available.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A loan is considered  impaired when, based on current information and events, it
is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect the scheduled  payments of
principal or interest  when due according to the  contractual  terms of the loan
agreement.  Factors  considered by management in determining  impairment include
payment status,  collateral  value and the  probability of collecting  scheduled
principal and interest  payments when due. Loans that  experience  insignificant
payment delays and payment shortfalls  generally are not classified as impaired.
Management  determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls
on a case-by-case  basis,  taking into  consideration  all of the  circumstances
surrounding  the loan and the borrower,  including the length of the delay,  the
reasons for the delay,  the borrower's  prior payment record,  and the amount of
the  shortfall in relation to the  principal  and interest  owed.  Impairment is
measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either
the  present  value of  expected  future  cash  flows  discounted  at the loan's
effective  interest rate, the loan's  obtainable market price, or the fair value
of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for
impairment. Accordingly, the Corporation does not separately identify individual
consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures.

BANK PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT

Premises and  equipment  are stated at cost less  accumulated  depreciation  and
amortization that is computed using the straight-line  method over the following

</TABLE>

Costs incurred for maintenance and repairs are expensed currently.

INCOME TAXES

The  provision  for  income  taxes  relates  to items of  revenue  and  expenses
recognized for financial accounting  purposes.  The actual current tax liability
may  differ  from the charge  against  earnings  due to the effect of  temporary
differences  between financial and tax accounting,  resulting in deferred income
taxes.  The differences  relate  principally to amortization  and provisions for
credit losses. The deferred tax assets and liabilities  represent the future tax
return  consequences  of those  differences,  which  will be either  taxable  or
deductible when the asset and liabilities are recovered or settled,  computed on
the liability method.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation  allowance
when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion
or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

Comprehensive  income  (loss) is the change in equity of a  business  enterprise
during a reportable  period from transactions and other events and circumstances
from  non-owner  sources.  In addition to the  Corporation's  net income (loss),
change in equity components under comprehensive  income (loss) reporting include
the net change in unrealized  gains and losses on available for sale securities.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments, " requires
disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not
recognized in the balance  sheet,  for which it is  practicable to estimate that
value.  In cases where quoted market prices are not  available,  fair values are
based  on  estimates  using  present  value  techniques.  Those  techniques  are
significantly  affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and
estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates
cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases,
could not be realized in immediate  settlement of the  instrument.  SFAS No. 107
excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its
disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented
should not be  considered  an  indication  of the fair value of the  Corporation
taken as a whole.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic  earnings per share  represents  income  available to common  stockholders
divided by the  weighted-average  number of common shares outstanding during the
period.  Diluted earnings per share reflects additional common shares that would
have been outstanding if dilutive  potential  common shares had been issued,  as
well as any  adjustment  to income that would result from the assumed  issuance.
Potential  common shares that may be issued by the Corporation  relate solely to
outstanding stock options, and are determined using the treasury stock method.

NOTE 8. STOCK OPTION PLANS

EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION PLAN

The  Corporation  has a stock  option  plan (Plan) for key  employees,  which is
accounted for in accordance with Accounting  Principles  Board (APB) Opinion 25,
"Accounting  for  Stock  Issued  to  Employees,"  and  related  interpretations.
Accordingly,  no  compensation  cost has been  recognized  for grants under this
Plan.  The Plan provides that 66,880  shares of the  Corporation's  common stock
will be  reserved  for both  incentive  stock  options and  non-qualified  stock
options to purchase  common stock of the  Corporation.  The  exercise  price per
share for incentive stock options and  non-qualified  stock options shall not be
less than the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant.
One-third of the options  granted  become vested and  exercisable in each of the
three years  following the grant date.  Each incentive and  non-qualified  stock
option  granted  under this plan  shall  expire not more than ten years from the
date the option is granted.

DIRECTOR STOCK OPTION PLAN

In 1999, the Corporation adopted a stock option plan in which options for 66,880
shares of common stock were reserved for issuance.  The Corporation  applies APB
Opinion 25 and related  interpretations in accounting for the stock option plan.
Accordingly,  no  compensation  cost has been  recognized  for grants under this
plan.  The stock  option plan  required  that  options be granted at an exercise
price equal to at least 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the
date of grant. One-third of the options granted become vested and exercisable in
each of the three years  following the grant date and shall expire not more than
ten years from the date the option is granted.

A summary of the  status of the  Corporation's  director  stock  option  plan is

NOTE 9. 401(K) PLAN

Effective  January  1,  1999,  the  Corporation  adopted a Section  401(k)  plan
covering  employees meeting certain  eligibility  requirements as to minimum age
and years of service.  Employees may make voluntary  contributions to the 401(k)
plan through  payroll  deductions on a pre-tax basis.  The  Corporation may make
discretionary  contributions  to the  401(k)  plan  based on its  earnings.  The
employer's  contributions  are  subject  to a  vesting  schedule  requiring  the
completion  of five years of service  before these  benefits  become  vested.  A
participant's 401(k) plan account, together with investment earnings thereon, is
distributable  following retirement,  death,  disability or other termination of
employment under various payout options.

NOTE 10. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

CAPITAL

The  Corporation  (on a consolidated  basis) and the Bank are subject to various
regulatory  capital  requirements  administered by the federal banking agencies.
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  Corporation's  and Bank's  financial
statements.  Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory  framework for
prompt  corrective  action,  the  Corporation  and the Bank must  meet  specific
capital  guidelines  that  involve   quantitative   measures  of  their  assets,
liabilities and certain  off-balance-sheet  items as calculated under regulatory
accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to
qualitative judgments by the regulators about components,  risk weightings,  and
other factors.  Prompt  corrective  action provisions are not applicable to bank
holding companies.

Quantitative  measures  established  by  regulation to ensure  capital  adequacy
require the Corporation and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set
forth in the  following  table) 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,
1999 and  1998,  that the  Corporation  and the  Bank met all  capital  adequacy
requirements to which they are subject.

As of December 31, 1999, the most recent  notification  from the Federal Deposit
Insurance  Corporation  categorized  the  Bank as  well  capitalized  under  the
regulatory  framework for prompt  corrective  action.  To be categorized as well
capitalized,  an  institution  must maintain  minimum total  risk-based,  Tier 1
risk-based  and Tier 1  leverage  ratios as set forth in the  following  tables.
There  are no  conditions  or  events  since the  notification  that  management
believes  have changed the Bank's  category.  The  Corporation's  and the Bank's
actual  capital  amounts  and ratios as of  December  31, 1999 and 1998 are also

Commitments to extend credit and stand-by  letters of credit include exposure to
some  credit  loss  in  the  event  of  nonperformance  of  the  customer.   The
Corporation's   credit  policies  and  procedures  for  credit  commitments  and
financial  guarantees  are the same as those for  extensions  of credit that are
recorded on the balance sheets.  Because these  instruments  have fixed maturity
dates,  and because many of them expire  without  being drawn upon,  they do not
generally present any significant liquidity risk to the Bank.

The  Corporation  has entered an agreement to invest a minimum of $57,500 in the
Virginia Bankers Insurance Center, LLC. As of December 31, 1999, $5,750 had been
invested.

NOTE 12. TRANSACTIONS WITH DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

The  Corporation  has had,  and may be expected  to have in the future,  banking
transactions  in the ordinary  course of business  with  directors and principal
officers,  their immediate  families and affiliated  companies in which they are
principal stockholders (commonly referred to as related parties). In the opinion
of management,  such loans are made on the same terms,  including interest rates
and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with
others.  They do not  involve  more than  normal  credit  risk or present  other
unfavorable features.

Aggregate loan balances with related  parties  totaled  $735,719 and $666,903 at
December  31, 1999 and 1998,  respectively.  During the year ended  December 31,
1999, total principal  additions were $935,000 and total principal payments were
$866,184.

NOTE 13. DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The following  methods and  assumptions  were used to estimate the fair value of
each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that
value:

CASH AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS - For these short-term instruments, the carrying
amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

SECURITIES - Fair values are based on quoted market  prices.  If a quoted market
price is not available,  fair value is estimated  using quoted market prices for
similar securities.

LOANS  RECEIVABLE - Fair value for performing loans is calculated by discounting
estimated cash flows using interest rates currently being offered for loans with
similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.

Fair value for  non-performing  loans is based on the lesser of  estimated  cash
flows which are discounted  using a rate  commensurate  with the risk associated
with the estimated cash flows, or values of underlying collateral.

DEPOSIT  LIABILITIES - The fair value of demand  deposits,  savings accounts and
certain money market  deposits is the amount  payable on demand at the reporting
date. The fair value of certificates of deposit is based on the discounted value
of  contractual  cash flows.  The  discount  rate is  estimated  using the rates
currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

ACCRUED  INTEREST - The carrying  amounts of accrued  interest  approximate fair
value.

The estimated fair values of the Corporation's financial instruments at December
31, 1999 and 1998 are as follows:
