                                     PART I
                                     ------

Item 1.    Business

General

     Abigail Adams  National  Bancorp,  Inc.  (the  "Company") is a bank holding
company which conducts  business through its wholly-owned  bank subsidiary,  The
Adams National Bank (the "Bank").  The Bank serves the nation's  capital through
four  full-service  offices located in Washington.  The Company's  newest branch
opened in October of 1996 and a fifth  branch is  expected to open in the fourth
quarter of 1997. At December 31, 1996,  the Company had  consolidated  assets of
$112,162,000,  deposits of $95,155,000 and stockholders'  equity of $13,140,000,
and reported net income of $1,127,000 for the year then ended.  The Bank exceeds
all regulatory capital requirements. See "Supervision and Regulation."

     Founded  in 1977,  the Bank was the first  federally-chartered  bank in the
United  States to be owned and  managed by women.  Originally  named The Women's
National Bank,  the Bank changed its name in 1986 to alter the  perception  that
the Bank existed  exclusively  to serve the needs of women.  Based on assets and
deposits, the Bank is the largest women-controlled bank in the United States.

Market Area

     The Bank draws  most of its  customer  deposits  and  conducts  most of its
lending activities from and within the Washington metropolitan region, including
suburban  Virginia and  Maryland.  The nation's  capital  attracts a significant
number of  businesses  of all  sizes,  professional  corporations  and  national
nonprofit  organizations.  The Bank actively solicits banking relationships with
these firms and organizations, as well as their professional staff, and with the
significant  population of high net worth  individuals  who live and work in the
region.

     The  Company  seeks to  identify  acquisitions  in  neighboring  markets in
Virginia and  Maryland.  These areas are  experiencing  accelerating  commercial
growth,  especially in the areas of women owned and high technology  businesses.
Management expects that a strategic acquisition in such markets would contribute
to the overall growth of the Company.

Services of the Bank

     The Bank offers a full range of banking  services to its  customers.  While
providing financial services to a wide-ranging customer base, including high net
worth individuals,  Fortune 100 corporations,  small to medium-sized  businesses
and nonprofit and other  organizations,  the Bank remains committed to assisting
women and minority business owners with access to credit.



                                        1

     The following types of services are offered by the Bank:

     Commercial Services

     o    Loans,  including  working  capital loans and lines of credit,  a wide
          range of demand,  term and time loans,  and loans for real estate land

     o    Traveler's  checks,  money orders,  cashier's  checks and safe deposit
          boxes.

     o    Custodial services.

     Commercial and consumer loans are made to  corporations,  partnerships  and
individuals,  primarily  on a  secured  basis.  Commercial  lending  focuses  on
business, capital, renovation, inventory and real estate loans. Consumer lending
focuses on automobile,  home equity and personal loans made on a direct, secured
basis.  Real  estate  loans are  originated  for both  commercial  and  consumer
purposes.

     As  technological  developments  continue to become available to all banks,
large and small,  the Bank has also  enhanced its  delivery  systems and reached
beyond its branch network to access customers on a cost-effective  basis through
technological  means. The Bank has developed its own electronic site (home page)
on the Internet  (World Wide Web).  Management  believes  that use of electronic
media such as the Internet  will allow the Bank to further  enhance its image in
its target market and identify future  prospects for electronic and home banking
services.  In 1997, it will offer  customers the ability to pay certain bills by
personal computer.  The Bank also offers its retail customers 24-hour banking by
means of an interactive  voice response  system  activated by a touch tone phone
which enables  customers to access account  information and transfer funds.  The
Company  also  maintains  an  integrated  PC-based  server  network  system that
provides  immediate  interaction  among  all  operating  functions  of the Bank,
thereby enhancing internal communications and customer service.

     The Bank contracts with an outside firm to provide data processing and back
room  operations.  The  state-of-the-art  resources  provided  by this firm,  in
conjunction with the Bank's internal data management system,  enable the Bank to
provide a high level of customer service while effectively  managing its growth.
The Bank has reviewed the data processing  systems  provided by its outside data
processor as well as the computer  applications which are used in- house and has
determined that the Bank's data  processing  will not be materially  impacted by
any  date-sensitive  calculations  related to the year 2000. The Bank's contract
with its outside data  processor is scheduled to expire in the second quarter of
1997. While the Bank is presently  considering  renewal options as well as other
state-of-the-art data processing alternatives,  the Bank will only consider data
processing  systems  which  can  appropriately   recognize  this  date-sensitive
information.

Strategy

     The Company's  strategy is to provide a high level of personalized  service
and quality  products to customers  within the community it serves,  through its
experienced  staff. In addition,  the Company seeks to diversify both its market
area and asset base while  increasing  profitability  through  acquisitions  and
expansion.  Management  believes  that it  possesses  substantial  expertise  in
lending to groups  traditionally  underserved  by the banking  industry and that
these  capabilities  could be leveraged by making strategic  acquisitions in the
neighboring markets of Maryland and Virginia.


                                        3

     Although the Company  continues  to explore  acquisition  opportunities  in
Washington and suburban Maryland and Virginia,  no banks have been identified as
probable  merger or  acquisition  candidates.  It is  expected  that  additional
discussions  will take  place in the  future  as  opportunities  are  presented.
However,  no  assurance  can be  given  that  any  such  merger  or  acquisition
candidates  will be  identified  or  that  any  merger  or  acquisition  will be
consummated.

     The Company also  considers  establishing  branches as a means of expanding
its presence in current or new market areas and is presently reviewing potential
locations in Washington and suburban Maryland and Virginia. In January 1997, the
Company  signed a lease to open a fifth branch in  Washington.  The Company will
also  consider the  expansion  into other lines of business  closely  related to
banking if it believes these lines could be profitable without undue risk to the
Company and if the Company can be competitive. No specific lines of business are
under consideration at this time.

     In 1992, the Company initiated a strategy to expand through  acquisition by
purchasing from the FDIC and the Resolution Trust  Corporation  insured deposits
and certain  performing loans of financial  institutions  which were placed into
receivership  in  the  Washington  metropolitan  region.  The  Company  was  the
successful  bidder on three such purchases,  one in each of 1992, 1993 and 1994.
In 1992, the Company  purchased  insured  deposits and certain  performing loans
from the FDIC, for a premium of $1,000. In addition, the Company was entitled to
any future  recoveries  received on loans  charged off prior to the bid date for
the sale of the loans.  As of December 31, 1996,  $152,000 in recoveries on such
loans have been received.  The Company also purchased  certain  performing loans
from the FDIC at discounted  prices of 96.2% and 96.9% of the  outstanding  loan
amounts in 1993 and 1994, respectively.

Lending Activities

     The Bank  provides a range of  commercial  and retail  lending  services to
individuals,  small  to  medium-sized  businesses,   professional  corporations,
nonprofits and other organizations.  These services include, but are not limited
to,  commercial  business loans,  commercial and residential  real estate loans,
renovation and mortgage loans, loan  participations,  consumer loans,  revolving
lines of credit and letters of credit.  Consumer  lending focuses on automobile,
home equity and  personal  loans made on a direct,  secured  basis.  Real estate
loans are originated for both commercial and consumer  purposes.  As of December
31, 1996,  approximately 74% of the Bank's total loan portfolio was comprised of
loans with  interest  rates which either float or generally  adjust on an annual
basis.  See  "Management's  Discussion  and Analysis of Financial  Condition and
Results of Operations-Analysis of Loans."

     The Bank  aggressively  markets its services to qualified lending customers
in both the  commercial and consumer  sectors,  including  small  businesses and
nonprofit  organizations.  The Bank offers  SBA-guaranteed  loans which  provide
better terms and more flexible repayment schedules than conventional  financing.
Management  believes  that  making  such  loans  helps the local  community  and
provides the Bank with attractive  returns with minimal risk, as the majority of
each loan is guaranteed by the SBA, and solid future  lending  relationships  as
such businesses grow and prosper.  As lending  requirements of small  businesses
grow to exceed the Bank's

                                        4

<PAGE>



lending limit, the Bank has the ability to sell  participations  in these larger
loans  to  other   financial   institutions.   The  Bank   believes   that  such
participations  will help to preserve  lending  relationships  while providing a
high level of customer  service.  As of December 31, 1996,  commercial  and real
estate SBA loans totaled $3,134,000.

     The Bank provides financing to nonprofit organizations for construction and
renovation of local headquarters  offices and other facilities,  working capital
lines of credit and equipment financing. Current nonprofit customers of the Bank
include  organizations  which  focus on issues  relating to  children's  rights,
senior  citizens,   minority  rights  and  healthcare.  At  December  31,  1996,
commercial and real estate loans to these customers totaled $1,497,000.

     Commercial  and real  estate  lending is  performed  by the Bank's  Lending
Division,  which is  comprised  of five loan  officers,  a credit  analyst and a
collections  staff person.  The Treasury  Division  includes the Loan Operations
staff  of  three,  responsible  for  preparing  loan  documents,  recording  and
processing  new loans and loan payments,  ensuring  compliance  with  regulatory
requirements,  and  working  with the Lending  Division,  in order to ensure the
timely  receipt of all  initial and ongoing  loan  documentation  and the prompt
reporting  of any  exceptions.  Credit  analysis on loans is performed by either
individual  loan officers or the credit analyst,  using a  sophisticated  credit
analysis computer program,  which provides not only the flexibility necessary to
analyze loans but also the structure  necessary to ensure that all documentation
requirements are appropriately met.

     Policies and procedures  have been  established by the Bank to promote safe
and sound lending. Loan officers have individual lending authorities established
based on both their  seniority  and  experience.  Loans in excess of  individual
officers' lending limits are presented to the Officers' Loan Committee  ("OLC"),
which meets  weekly,  and is comprised of all loan officers and the President of
the Bank. While a maximum of three loan officers may pool their loan authorities
to approve a loan, most loans over $100,000 are brought to this  Committee.  The
OLC has authority to approve unsecured loans up to $250,000 and secured loans up
to $400,000.  Loans over  $250,000 on an unsecured  basis and over $400,000 on a
secured basis are brought to the Executive Loan Committee  ("ELC"),  which meets
approximately twice per month. The ELC is comprised of two outside directors and
the President of the Bank. In addition to approving  new loans,  this  Committee
approves the  restructuring  of loans it originally  approved,  reviews past due
loans and approves charge-offs.

     Commercial Lending

     The Bank  provides a wide range of  commercial  business  loans,  including
lines of credit for working capital  purposes and term loans for the acquisition
of equipment  and other  purposes.  In most cases,  the Bank has  collateralized
these  loans  and/or  taken  personal   guarantees  to  help  assure  repayment.
Collateral for these loans generally  includes accounts  receivable,  inventory,
equipment and real estate.  Terms of commercial  business loans  generally range
from three  months to five  years.  These  loans often  require  that  borrowers
maintain  certain  levels of deposits  with the Bank as  compensating  balances.
Commercial  business  lending  generally  involves greater risk than residential
mortgage lending and involves risks that are different from those

                                        5

<PAGE>



associated with  residential,  commercial and multi-family  real estate lending.
Although  commercial  business  loans are often  collateralized  by real estate,
equipment,   inventory,  accounts  receivable  or  other  business  assets,  the
liquidation  of  collateral  in the event of a  borrower  default is often not a
sufficient source of repayment because accounts  receivable may be uncollectible
and  inventories  and equipment  may be obsolete or of limited use,  among other
things.  The primary  repayment risk for commercial  loans is the failure of the
business  due to  economic  or  financial  factors.  As of  December  31,  1996,
commercial loans totaled $39,419,000.

     Real Estate Lending

     At December 31, 1996,  the Bank's real estate loan  portfolio  consisted of
commercial real estate  mortgages  totaling  $24,840,000  and  residential  real
estate mortgages totaling $2,631,000. The majority of these loans are amortizing
variable rate or annually  repricing  mortgage loans with a maximum  maturity of
five years.

     The majority of the $4,140,000 in loans classified as construction and land
development loans at December 31, 1996 in the Consolidated Financial Statements,
are primarily for renovation of commercial  properties.  Construction  financing
generally  is  considered  to  involve  a  higher  degree  of risk of loss  than
long-term  financing  on  improved,  occupied  real  estate.  Multi-  family and
commercial real estate lending entails significant  additional risks as compared
to one- to four-family  residential lending.  For example,  such loans typically
involve  large  loans to single  borrowers  or related  borrowers,  the  payment
experience on such loans is typically  dependent on the successful  operation of
the  project,  and these risks can be  significantly  affected by the supply and
demand  conditions  in the  market  for  commercial  property  and  multi-family
residential units. To minimize these risks, the Bank limits the aggregate amount
of outstanding  construction  loans,  and generally makes such loans only in its
market area and to borrowers with which it has substantial experience or who are
otherwise  well known to the Bank. It is the Bank's  current  practice to obtain
personal  guarantees  and  current  financial  statements  from  all  principals
obtaining commercial real estate loans. The Bank also obtains appraisals on each
property in accordance with applicable regulations.

         Consumer Lending

     The  Bank's  consumer  lending  includes  loans  for motor  vehicles,  home
improvement,  home  equity  and small  personal  credit  lines.  Consumer  loans
generally involve more risk than first mortgage  residential and commercial real
estate loans.  Repossessed  collateral  for a defaulted  loan may not provide an
adequate  source of  repayment  of the  outstanding  loan balance as a result of
damage,  loss or  depreciation,  and the  remaining  deficiency  often  does not
warrant  further  substantial   collection  efforts  against  the  borrower.  In
addition,  loan collections are dependent on the borrower's continuing financial
stability. Further, the application of various federal and state laws, including
federal and state bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount which can
be recovered.  In underwriting consumer loans, the Bank considers the borrower's
credit history,  an analysis of the borrower's  income,  expenses and ability to
repay the loan and the value of the collateral.


                                        6

<PAGE>



     During  1994,  the Bank  entered  the credit card market by issuing its own
VISA(R)  card at  competitive  rates and with no annual fee.  The credit card is
offered to both new and existing  customers as well as corporate  accounts,  and
provides various cardmember  benefits,  including frequent flyer miles.  Through
its credit card  services,  the Bank hopes to  increase  profits and augment its
cross-selling opportunities by increasing its marketing base. As of December 31,
1996, consumer loans totaled $2,203,000.

Competition

     The  Bank  faces  strong   competition  among  financial   institutions  in
Washington, Northern Virginia and suburban Maryland for both deposits and loans.
Principal  competitors  include  other  community  commercial  banks and  larger
financial  institutions  with  branches  in the  Bank's  service  area.  Intense
competition is expected to continue as bank mergers and  acquisitions of smaller
banks by larger  institutions  in the  Washington,  metropolitan  region  may be
expected to continue for the foreseeable future.

     The  primary   factors  in  competing  for  deposits  are  interest  rates,
personalized services, the quality and range of financial services,  convenience
of office  locations and office hours.  Competition for deposits comes primarily
from other commercial banks, savings  associations,  credit unions, money market
funds and other  investment  alternatives.  The primary factors in competing for
loans are  interest  rates,  loan  origination  fees,  the  quality and range of
lending  services  and  personalized  services.   Competition  for  loans  comes
primarily from other commercial banks,  savings  associations,  mortgage banking
firms,  credit  unions  and  other  financial  intermediaries.  The  Bank  faces
competition  for  deposits and loans  throughout  its market areas not only from
local  institutions but also from out-of-state  financial  intermediaries  which
have  opened loan  production  offices or which  solicit  deposits in its market
areas. Many of the financial intermediaries operating in the Bank's market areas
offer certain  services,  such as trust,  investment and  international  banking
services,  which  the Bank  does not  offer.  Additionally,  banks  with  larger
capitalization  and  financial  intermediaries  not  subject to bank  regulatory
restrictions  have larger lending limits and are thereby able to serve the needs
of larger customers.

     In order to  compete  with other  financial  services  providers,  the Bank
principally  relies upon local promotional  activities,  personal  relationships
established  by  officers,  directors  and  employees  with its  customers,  and
specialized  services  tailored to meet its customers' needs. In those instances
where  the Bank is unable  to  accommodate  a  customer's  needs,  the Bank will
arrange for those services to be provided by its correspondents.

Employees

     At December 31, 1996, the Company employed 45 people, 44 on a full time and
1 on a part  time  basis.  The  employees  are not  represented  by a union  and
management believes that its relations with its employees are good.

Supervision and Regulation

     Banking is a business that depends on rate differentials.  In general,  the
difference  between the  interest  rate paid by the Bank on its deposits and its
other borrowings and the interest rate received by the Bank on loans extended to
its customers and  securities  held in the Bank's  portfolio  comprise the major
portion of the  Company's  earnings.  These rates are highly  sensitive  to many
factors that are beyond the control of the Bank.  Accordingly,  the earnings and
growth of the  Company  are subject to the  influence  of  domestic  and foreign
economic conditions, including inflation, recession and unemployment.

     The commercial  banking  business is not only affected by general  economic
conditions  but is also  influenced  by the monetary and fiscal  policies of the
federal  government and the policies of regulatory  agencies,  particularly  the
Federal Reserve Board.  The Federal Reserve Board implements  national  monetary
policies (with objectives such as curbing inflation and combating  recession) by
its  open-market  operations  in U.S.  Government  securities,  by adjusting the
required  level of reserves for  financial  institutions  subject to its reserve
requirements  and by varying the discount  rates  applicable  to  borrowings  by
depository institutions. The actions of the Federal Reserve Board in these areas
influence  the growth of bank loans,  investments  and  deposits and also affect
interest  rates charged on loans and paid on deposits.  The nature and impact of
any future changes in monetary policies cannot be predicted.

     Bank  holding  companies  and banks are  extensively  regulated  under both
federal  and state  law.  Set forth  below is a summary  description  of certain
provisions of certain laws which relate to the regulation of the Company and the
Bank.  The  description  does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the applicable laws and regulations.

The Company

     The Company, as a registered bank holding company, is subject to regulation
under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "BHCA"). The Company
is  required  to file  quarterly  reports  and annual  reports  with the Federal
Reserve Board and such  additional  information as the Federal Reserve Board may
require pursuant to the BHCA. The Federal Reserve Board may conduct examinations
of the Company and its subsidiaries.

     The  Federal  Reserve  Board may  require  that the  Company  terminate  an
activity or terminate control of or liquidate or divest certain  subsidiaries or
affiliates  when the Federal  Reserve Board believes the activity or the control
of the subsidiary or affiliate  constitutes a significant  risk to the financial
safety,  soundness or stability of any of its banking subsidiaries.  The Federal
Reserve  Board also has the  authority  to regulate  provisions  of certain bank
holding  company  debt,  including  authority  to impose  interest  ceilings and
reserve requirements on such debt. Under certain circumstances, the Company must
file written notice and obtain  approval from the Federal Reserve Board prior to
purchasing or redeeming its equity securities.

     Under the BHCA and regulations adopted by the Federal Reserve Board, a bank
holding  company and its nonbanking  subsidiaries  are prohibited from requiring
certain tie-in arrangements in connection with any extension of credit, lease or
sale of property or furnishing of services.  Further, the Company is required by
the Federal Reserve Board to maintain certain levels of capital.

     The Company is required to obtain the prior approval of the Federal Reserve
Board for the acquisition of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of any class
of voting  securities  or  substantially  all of the  assets of any bank or bank
holding  company.  Prior approval of the Federal  Reserve Board is also required
for the merger or consolidation of the Company and another bank holding company.

     The  Company  is  prohibited  by the BHCA,  except in  certain  statutorily
prescribed instances,  from acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of
more than 5% of the outstanding  voting shares of any company that is not a bank
or bank holding  company and from engaging  directly or indirectly in activities
other  than  those of  banking,  managing  or  controlling  banks or  furnishing
services  to its  subsidiaries.  However,  the  Company,  subject  to the  prior
approval of the Federal Reserve Board, may engage in any activities,  or acquire
shares of companies engaged in activities that are deemed by the Federal Reserve
Board to be so closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks as to
be a proper incident thereto.

     Under Federal Reserve Board regulations, a bank holding company is required
to serve as a source of  financial  and  managerial  strength to its  subsidiary
banks and may not  conduct its  operations  in an unsafe or unsound  manner.  In
addition,  it is the Federal  Reserve Board's policy that in serving as a source
of strength to its subsidiary  banks, a bank holding  company should stand ready
to use available  resources to provide  adequate capital funds to its subsidiary
banks during  periods of financial  stress or adversity and should  maintain the
financial   flexibility  and  capital-raising   capacity  to  obtain  additional
resources for assisting its subsidiary  banks. A bank holding  company's failure
to meet its obligations to serve as a source of strength to its subsidiary banks
will  generally be considered  by the Federal  Reserve Board to be an unsafe and
unsound  banking  practice  or  a  violation  of  the  Federal  Reserve  Board's
regulations or both.  This doctrine has become known as the "source of strength"
doctrine. The validity of the source of strength doctrine has been and is likely
to continue to be the subject of litigation until  definitively  resolved by the
courts or by Congress.

The Bank

     The  Bank,  as a  national  banking  association,  is  subject  to  primary
supervision,  examination  and  regulation  by the OCC.  If,  as a result  of an
examination of the Bank, the OCC should determine that the financial  condition,
capital resources, asset quality, earnings prospects,  management,  liquidity or
other aspects of the Bank's  operations are  unsatisfactory  or that the Bank or
its  management  is violating or has  violated  any law or  regulation,  various
remedies are  available to the OCC.  Such  remedies  include the power to enjoin
"unsafe or unsound  practices,"  to require  affirmative  action to correct  any
conditions resulting from any violation or practice,  to issue an administrative
order that can be judicially enforced, to direct an increase in capital, to

                                        9

<PAGE>



restrict the growth of the Bank,  to assess  civil  monetary  penalties,  and to
remove officers and directors.  The FDIC has similar enforcement  authority,  in
addition to its  authority  to  terminate  a Bank's  deposit  insurance,  in the
absence  of action by the OCC and upon a finding  that a Bank is in an unsafe or
unsound  condition,  is  engaging in unsafe or unsound  activities,  or that its
conduct poses a risk to the deposit insurance fund or may prejudice the interest
of its depositors. The Bank is not subject to any such actions by the OCC or the
FDIC.

     The  deposits  of the Bank are insured by the FDIC in the manner and to the
extent  provided  by law.  For  this  protection,  the  Bank  pays a  semiannual
statutory  assessment.  See  "Premiums  for Deposit  Insurance."  Various  other
requirements  and  restrictions  under the laws of the United  States affect the
operations of the Bank.  Federal statutes and regulations relate to many aspects
of the Bank's operations,  including  reserves against deposits,  interest rates
payable on deposits, loans, investments,  mergers and acquisitions,  borrowings,
dividends,  locations of branch  offices,  capital  requirements  and disclosure
obligations  to  depositors  and  borrowers.  Further,  the Bank is  required to
maintain certain levels of capital. See "Capital Standards."

     Restrictions on Transfers of Funds to the Company by the Bank

     The Company is a legal  entity  separate and  distinct  from the Bank.  The
Company's  ability to pay cash  dividends  is limited by Delaware  state law. In
addition,  the  prior  approval  of the  OCC is  required  if the  total  of all
dividends  declared  by the Bank in any  calendar  year  exceeds  the Bank's net
profits (as  defined) for that year  combined  with its retained net profits (as
defined) for the preceding two years, less any transfers to surplus.

     The OCC also has authority to prohibit the Bank from engaging in activities
that, in the OCC's opinion, constitute unsafe or unsound practices in conducting
its business. It is possible, depending upon the financial condition of the bank
in question  and other  factors,  that the OCC could  assert that the payment of
dividends or other payments might, under some  circumstances,  be such an unsafe
or  unsound  practice.  Further,  the OCC and the  Federal  Reserve  Board  have
established  guidelines with respect to the maintenance of appropriate levels of
capital by banks or bank holding companies under their jurisdiction.  Compliance
with the standards set forth in such guidelines and the restrictions that are or
may be imposed  under the prompt  corrective  action  provisions  of federal law
could limit the amount of  dividends  which the Bank or the Company may pay. See
"Prompt  Corrective  Regulatory  Action and Other  Enforcement  Mechanisms"  and
"Capital Standards" for a discussion of these additional restrictions on capital
distributions.

     The Bank is subject to certain  restrictions  imposed by federal law on any
extensions  of credit to, or the  issuance of a guarantee or letter of credit on
behalf of, the Company or other  affiliates,  the purchase of or  investments in
stock or other securities  thereof,  the taking of such securities as collateral
for loans and the  purchase of assets of the Company or other  affiliates.  Such
restrictions  prevent the Company and such other  affiliates from borrowing from
the Bank unless the loans are secured by  marketable  obligations  of designated
amounts.  Further,  such secured loans and  investments by the Bank to or in the
Company or to or in any other  affiliate is limited to 10% of the Bank's capital
and surplus (as defined by federal regulations) and such

                                       10

<PAGE>



secured  loans and  investments  are limited,  in the  aggregate,  to 20% of the
Bank's  capital  and surplus  (as  defined by federal  regulations).  Additional
restrictions  on  transactions  with affiliates may be imposed on the Bank under
the prompt corrective  action provisions of federal law. See "Prompt  Corrective
Action and Other Enforcement Mechanisms."

     Capital Standards

     The  Federal  Reserve  Board and the OCC have  adopted  risk-based  minimum
capital  guidelines  intended to provide a measure of capital that  reflects the
degree of risk  associated  with a banking  organization's  operations  for both
transactions  reported on the balance sheet as assets and transactions,  such as
letters of credit and recourse  arrangements,  which are recorded as off balance
sheet items. Under these guidelines, nominal dollar amounts of assets and credit
equivalent  amounts of off balance sheet items are  multiplied by one of several
risk  adjustment  percentages,  which  range from 0% for assets  with low credit
risk,  such as  certain  U.S.  Treasury  securities,  to 100%  for  assets  with
relatively high credit risk, such as business loans.

     A banking organization's risk-based capital ratios are obtained by dividing
its qualifying capital by its total risk adjusted assets. The regulators measure
risk-adjusted  assets, which include off balance sheet items, against both total
qualifying  capital  (the sum of Tier 1 capital  and  limited  amounts of Tier 2
capital) and Tier 1 capital.  Tier 1 capital consists primarily of common stock,
retained earnings, noncumulative perpetual preferred stock (cumulative perpetual
preferred  stock for bank holding  companies) and minority  interests in certain
subsidiaries,  less most  intangible  assets.  Tier 2 capital  may  consist of a
limited  amount of the allowance for possible loan and lease losses,  cumulative
preferred stock, long term preferred stock,  eligible term subordinated debt and
certain other instruments with some  characteristics of equity. The inclusion of
elements  of Tier 2  capital  is  subject  to  certain  other  requirements  and
limitations  of the  federal  banking  agencies.  The federal  banking  agencies
require a minimum ratio of qualifying total capital to  risk-adjusted  assets of
8% and a  minimum  ratio of Tier 1  capital  to  risk-adjusted  assets of 4%. In
addition  to the  risk-based  guidelines,  federal  banking  regulators  require
banking  organizations  to maintain a minimum  amount of Tier 1 capital to total
assets, referred to as the leverage ratio.

     Only a well capitalized depository institution may accept brokered deposits
without prior regulatory  approval.  Under FDIC  regulations,  an institution is
generally  considered "well  capitalized" if it has a total  risk-based  capital
ratio of at least 10%, a Tier 1 risk-based  capital  ratio of at least 6%, and a
Tier 1 capital  (leverage) ratio of at least 5%. Federal law generally  requires
full-scope on-site annual examinations of all insured depository institutions by
the  appropriate  federal bank  regulatory  agency  although the examination may
occur at longer intervals for small well-capitalized or state chartered banks.

     Federally  supervised banks and savings associations are currently required
to report deferred tax assets in accordance with SFAS No. 109. See Note 8 of the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.  The federal banking agencies issued
final  rules,  effective  April 1, 1995,  which limit the amount of deferred tax
assets that are allowable in computing an institution's  regulatory capital. The
standard has been in effect on an interim basis since March 1993.

                                       11

<PAGE>




     In August 1995,  the federal  banking  agencies  adopted final  regulations
specifying  that the agencies will  include,  in their  evaluations  of a bank's
capital  adequacy,  an  assessment  of the  exposure to declines in the economic
value of the  bank's  capital  due to  changes  in  interest  rates.  The  final
regulations,  however, do not include a measurement  framework for assessing the
level of a bank's  exposure  to  interest  rate risk,  which is the subject of a
proposed policy statement  issued by the federal banking  agencies  concurrently
with the final regulations. Because this proposal has only recently been issued,
the Bank  currently  is unable to predict the impact of the proposal on the Bank
if the policy statement is adopted as proposed.

     Future changes in regulations or practices  could further reduce the amount
of capital  recognized  for  purposes of capital  adequacy.  Such a change could
affect the ability of the Bank to grow and could restrict the amount of profits,
if any, available for the payment of dividends.

     Prompt Corrective Action and Other Enforcement Mechanisms

     Federal law requires each federal banking agency to take prompt  corrective
action to resolve the problems of insured depository institutions, including but
not  limited  to those that fall below one or more  prescribed  minimum  capital
ratios.  The law requires each federal banking agency to promulgate  regulations
defining  the  following  five   categories  in  which  an  insured   depository
institution  will be  placed,  based on the level of its  capital  ratios:  well
capitalized,    adequately    capitalized,    undercapitalized,    significantly
undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized. In September 1992, the federal
banking  agencies  issued  uniform  final  regulations  implementing  the prompt
corrective action provisions of federal law.

     An institution  that, based upon its capital levels, is classified as "well
capitalized,"  "adequately  capitalized" or "undercapitalized" may be treated as
though it were in the next lower  capital  category if the  appropriate  federal
banking agency,  after notice and  opportunity  for hearing,  determines that an
unsafe or unsound  condition  or an unsafe or  unsound  practice  warrants  such
treatment.  At each successive  lower capital  category,  an insured  depository
institution  is subject to more  restrictions.  The  federal  banking  agencies,
however,  may not treat an institution as "critically  undercapitalized"  unless
its capital ratio actually warrants such treatment.

     In  addition  to  restrictions  and  sanctions  imposed  under  the  prompt
corrective action provisions, commercial banking organizations may be subject to
potential  enforcement  actions by the federal  regulators for unsafe or unsound
practices in conducting  their  businesses or for  violations of any law,  rule,
regulation  or any  condition  imposed in  writing by the agency or any  written
agreement with the agency.  Enforcement  actions may include the imposition of a
conservator  or  receiver,  the issuance of a cease and desist order that can be
judicially enforced,  the termination of insurance of deposits (in the case of a
depository  institution),  the imposition of civil money penalties, the issuance
of  directives  to  increase  capital,  the  issuance  of  formal  and  informal
agreements,   the   issuance  of  removal   and   prohibition   orders   against
institution-affiliated  parties  and the  enforcement  of such  actions  through
injunctions or restraining  orders based upon a judicial  determination that the
agency would be harmed if such equitable relief was not granted.

     Safety and Soundness Standards

     In July  1995,  the  federal  banking  agencies  adopted  final  guidelines
establishing  standards  for  safety and  soundness.  The  guidelines  set forth
operational and managerial standards relating to internal controls,  information
systems and internal audit systems,  loan  documentation,  credit  underwriting,
interest  rate  exposure,  asset  growth and  compensation,  fees and  benefits.
Guidelines  for asset  quality  and  earnings  standards  will be adopted in the
future.  The  guidelines  establish the safety and soundness  standards that the
agencies  will use to  identify  and  address  problems  at  insured  depository
institutions before capital becomes impaired.  If an institution fails to comply
with a safety and soundness standard, the appropriate federal banking agency may
require  the  institution  to  submit a  compliance  plan.  Failure  to submit a
compliance  plan or to  implement  an  accepted  plan may result in  enforcement
action.

     Premiums for Deposit Insurance

     Federal law has established several mechanisms to increase funds to protect
deposits  insured by the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF")  administered  by the FDIC.
The FDIC is  authorized  to  borrow up to $30  billion  from the  United  States
Treasury;  up to 90% of the fair market value of assets of institutions acquired
by the FDIC as receiver from the Federal  Financing  Bank;  and from  depository
institutions  that are members of the BIF.  Any  borrowings  not repaid by asset
sales  are  to  be  repaid  through   insurance   premiums  assessed  to  member
institutions.  The result of these  provisions  is that the  assessment  rate on
deposits  of BIF  members  could  increase  in the  future.  The  FDIC  also has
authority to impose special assessments against insured deposits.

     The  FDIC  implemented  a final  risk-based  assessment  system,  effective
January 1, 1994, under which an institution's premium assessment is based on the
probability  that the deposit  insurance  fund will incur a loss with respect to
the  institution,  the likely amount of any such loss,  and the revenue needs of
the deposit insurance fund. On August 8, 1995, the FDIC issued final regulations
adopting an  assessment  rate  schedule  for BIF members of 4 to 31 basis points
effective  on June 1, 1995.  On November  14,  1995,  the FDIC  further  reduced
deposit insurance  premiums to a range of 0 to 27 basis points effective for the
semi-annual period beginning January 1, 1996.

     Under the risk-based  assessment  system, a BIF member  institution such as
the Bank is categorized into one of three capital  categories (well capitalized,
adequately capitalized,  and undercapitalized) and one of three categories based
on supervisory evaluations by its primary federal regulator (in the Bank's case,
the FDIC). The three supervisory  categories are:  financially sound with only a
few minor  weaknesses  (Group A),  demonstrates  weaknesses that could result in
significant deterioration (Group B), and poses a substantial probability of loss
(Group  C).  The  capital  ratios  used by the FDIC to define  well-capitalized,
adequately  capitalized and  undercapitalized  are the same in the FDIC's prompt
corrective action regulations.


                                       13

<PAGE>



     Since the Bank is considered  well-capitalized  under regulatory  standards
and met  certain  other  criteria  during  1996,  the Bank  paid  the flat  FDIC
insurance premium rate of $2,000 per year for 1996.

     Community Reinvestment Act

     The Bank is subject to the  provisions  of the Community  Reinvestment  Act
("CRA")  which  requires  banks to assess and help meet the credit  needs of the
community in which the bank operates. The OCC examines the Bank to determine its
level of compliance with CRA. The OCC and the Federal Reserve Board are required
to  consider  the  level of CRA  compliance  when  regulatory  applications  are
reviewed.

     Interstate Banking and Branching

     In  September  1994,  the  Riegel-Neal  Interstate  Banking  and  Branching
Efficiency Act of 1994 (the  "Interstate  Act") became law. Under the Interstate
Act, beginning one year after the date of enactment, a bank holding company that
is  adequately  capitalized  and managed may obtain  approval  under the BHCA to
acquire an existing bank located in another state without regard to state law. A
bank holding company would not be permitted to make such an acquisition if, upon
consummation, it would control (a) more than 10% of the total amount of deposits
of insured  depository  institutions  in the United States or (b) 30% or more of
the  deposits in the state in which the bank is  located.  A state may limit the
percentage  of total  deposits that may be held in that state by any one bank or
bank holding  company if application of such  limitation  does not  discriminate
against out-of-state banks. An out-of-state bank holding company may not acquire
a state  bank in  existence  for less than a minimum  length of time that may be
prescribed by state law except that a state may not impose more than a five year
existence requirement. On June 1, 1997, with certain restrictions, banks will be
able to branch across state lines by acquisition,  merger or  establishment of a
de novo facility. Certain states have already approved interstate branching.

Factors Affecting Future Results

     In addition to historical  information,  this Form 10-KSB includes  certain
forward  looking  statements  based  on  current  management  expectations.  The
Company's   actual  results  could  differ   materially  from  those  management
expectations.  Factors  that could  cause  future  results to vary from  current
management  expectations  include,  but are not  limited  to,  general  economic
conditions,  legislative and regulatory changes, monetary and fiscal policies of
the  federal  government,  changes in tax  policies,  rates and  regulations  of
federal and local tax authorities, changes in interest rates, deposit flows, the
cost of  funds,  demand  for  loan  products,  demand  for  financial  services,
competition,  changes in the  quality  or  composition  of the  Bank's  loan and
investment  portfolios,  changes in  ownership  status  resulting in the loss of
eligibility for participation in government and corporate  programs for minority
and  women-  owned  banks,  changes  in  accounting   principles,   policies  or
guidelines,  and other economic,  competitive,  governmental  and  technological
factors  affecting the Company's  operations,  markets,  products,  services and
prices.

estate of approximately  $464,000.  The Company  considers all of the properties
leased by the Bank to be suitable and adequate for their intended purposes.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

     Although  the  Bank,  from  time to time,  is  involved  in  various  legal
proceedings  in the  normal  course of  business,  there are no  material  legal
proceedings to which the Company or the Bank is a party or to which any of their
property is subject.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security-Holders.

     (b) As of March 14, 1997, the Company had 724 stockholders of record.

     (c) During 1996, the Company  declared four quarterly cash dividends on the
Common  Stock of $.0833 per share for the first two  quarters and $.10 per share
for the last two  quarters,  for a total of $467,429.  During 1995,  the Company
declared two cash dividends on the Common Stock of $.0833 per share per quarter,
for a total of $142,422.  Prior to 1995, the Company did not pay dividends.  The
Company's ability to pay cash dividends is limited by the provisions of Delaware
law,  which  permit the payment of  dividends  from  either  surplus or retained
earnings. In addition, the ability of the Company to pay a cash dividend depends
largely  on the  Bank's  ability  to pay a cash  dividend  to the  Company.  The
National Bank Act imposes limitations on the amount of dividends that a national
bank, such as the Bank, may pay without prior  regulatory  approval.  Generally,
the  amount is  limited  to the Bank's  current  year's  net  earnings  plus the
retained net earnings for the two preceding  years.  See Note 12 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 6. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
        of Operations.

Overview

     Abigail Adams National  Bancorp,  Inc. (the "Company") is the parent of The
Adams National Bank (the "Bank"), a bank with four full service branches located
in  Washington,  D.C. The Company's  newest branch was opened in October of 1996
and a fifth branch is expected to open in the fourth quarter of 1997.

     The year ended December 31, 1996  represented the Company's most successful
year. The Company  reported record net income of $1,127,000,  an increase of 18%
over the $959,000 reported for the year ended December 31, 1995.  However,  as a
result of the  issuance of 795,500  shares of common  stock in the public  stock
offering completed in the third quarter of 1996,  earnings per share of $.94 for
1996 reflected a decrease from $1.12 reported for 1995. Total assets at December
31, 1996 of  $112,162,000  increased  by  $19,797,000  over  December  31, 1995,
surpassing the $100,000,000 milestone.

     The Company continued to maintain a "well-capitalized"  status with a total
risk-based  capital  ratio (total  capital  divided by assets  weighted for risk
elements) of 17.47% at December  31,  1996,  of which 16.22% was Tier 1 capital.
The leverage  ratio (based on annual average  assets) was 13.81%.  The following
analysis of  financial  condition  and results of  operations  should be read in
conjunction  with the  Company's  consolidated  Financial  Statements  and Notes
thereto.

Analysis of Net Interest Income

     Net  interest  income,  the most  significant  component  of the  Company's
earnings,  increased by $473,000,  or 11%, to  $4,640,000 in 1996 as compared to
$4,167,000 in 1995.  This  improvement in net interest  income was a result of a
15% increase in average earning assets,  partially  offset by both a decrease in
the average  loan to deposit  ratio to 76% from 82% and deposit  rates which did
not decrease as rapidly as earning  asset rates  during the same  period.  These
factors  combined to produce a net interest spread (the  difference  between the
average   interest   rate  earned  on   interest-earning   assets  and  paid  on
interest-bearing  liabilities)  of 3.86% and a net interest margin (net interest
income as a percentage  of average  interest-earning  assets) of 5.23% for 1996,
reflecting decreases of 26 basis points and 16 basis points, respectively,  from
1995.  Loans,  the highest  yielding  component of earning  assets,  represented
approximately  70% of total  average  earning  assets  for 1996 as  compared  to
approximately 78% for 1995.

     Net interest income,  increased by $19,000,  or less than 1%, to $4,167,000
in 1995 as compared to $4,148,000 in 1994. This variance was consistent with the
1% increase in average  earning assets during the same period.  Although the mix
of earning  assets during 1995 was more heavily  weighted  towards  loans,  thus
improving  interest income, a 138 basis point increase in rates paid on deposits
for 1995 as  compared  to 1994  offset  virtually  all the  positive  variances.
Although the net interest spread decreased by 38 basis points from 4.50% in 1994
to 4.12% in 1995,  a $762,000  increase in the level of earning  assets  coupled
with improvements in the mix of

                                       18

<PAGE>



earning assets during the same period caused net interest  income to increase by
$19,000. The net interest margin for 1995 declined to 5.39% from 5.42% for 1994.
Loans represented  approximately 78% of total average earning assets for 1995 as
compared to approximately 76% for the comparable 1994 period.

     1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

2    No taxable equivalent adjustments are necessary because the Company did not
     have  material  tax-exempt  securities  or  loans  during  1996  and had no
     tax-exempt securities or loans during 1995 and 1994.

1    Changes due to both rate and volume are allocated to rate.

2    Interest on loans includes loan fees of  approximately  $141,000,  $152,000
     and $151,000 in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

3    Changes are computed on a line-by-line basis and do not sum to the rate and
     volume changes of total interest  income or total interest  expense because
     of  changes  in the mix of  interest-earning  assets  and  interest-bearing
     liabilities from year to year.

4    No taxable equivalent adjustments are necessary because the Company did not
     have  material  tax-exempt  securities  or  loans  during  1996  and had no
     tax-exempt securities or loans during 1995 and 1994.

5    Includes transaction accounts.


     Other Income

     Total other income, which consists primarily of service charges on deposits
and other fee income,  increased by approximately  $112,000, or 13%, to $953,000
in 1996 as compared to $841,000  in 1995.  Service  charges on deposit  accounts
increased by  approximately  $51,000,  or 7%, to $788,000 in 1996 as compared to
$737,000 in 1995 principally due to a $94,000  increase in income  recognized on
ATM  transactions,  primarily  from  the  implementation  in 1996  of the  $1.00
surcharge  on  noncustomer  ATM  transactions.  This was  partially  offset by a
$35,000  decrease in service  charges on overdrafts.  Other income  increased by
approximately $61,000, or

                                       20

<PAGE>



59%, to $165,000  in 1996 as  compared  to  $104,000 in 1995,  primarily  due to
rental income  received from other real estate coupled with gains  recognized on
the sale of other real estate.

     Total other  income  increased  by  $51,000,  or 6%, to $841,000 in 1995 as
compared to $790,000 in 1994.  This  increase was due to increases in ATM income
resulting from the installation of more efficient ATM equipment in the Company's
Union Station location, as well as the full year's effect of the addition of one
new ATM at that location in April 1994.

Other Expense

     Total other  expense  increased by $312,000,  or 8%, to  $4,093,000 in 1996
from  $3,781,000 in 1995.  Salaries and benefits for 1996 increased by $256,000,
or 16%, to $1,905,000  from $1,649,000 in 1995, due to an increase in the number
of  employees  resulting  from the new branch,  normal merit  increases  and the
hiring of employees to fill certain  vacancies.  Occupancy and equipment expense
increased by $79,000,  or 11%, to $778,000 in 1996 from  $699,000 in 1995 due to
the additional  rental expense on the new branch,  higher operating costs of the
Company's  main office  location which were passed through to the Company by the
landlord  and  the  additional  depreciation  expense  of a local  area  network
installed  in the later part of the second  quarter of 1996.  Professional  fees
decreased  by  $210,000,  or 59%, to $143,000 in 1996 from  $353,000 in 1995 due
primarily to lower legal fees  associated with loan workouts and other corporate
matters, as well as partial  reimbursement by the Small Business  Administration
("SBA") of legal fees  incurred for the workout of two  troubled SBA  guaranteed
loans. Data processing expense increased by $59,000, or 20%, to $359,000 in 1996
from $300,000 in 1995 due to the opening of the new branch, as well as increased
activity levels and item charges. Other operating expense increased by $128,000,
or 16%, to $909,000 in 1996 from  $781,000 in 1995 due primarily to increases in
administrative  and  overhead  expenses  associated  with the opening of the new
branch, partially offset by a decrease in FDIC deposit insurance premiums.

     The Company has reviewed the data processing systems provided by the Bank's
outside  data  processor  as well as the  computer  applications  which are used
in-house  and has  determined  that  the  Bank's  data  processing  will  not be
materially impacted by any date-sensitive calculations related to the year 2000.
The Bank's  contract  with its outside data  processor is scheduled to expire in
the second  quarter of 1997.  While the Bank is  presently  considering  renewal
options  as well as other  data  processing  alternatives,  the Bank  will  only
consider  data  processing  systems  which  can  appropriately   recognize  this
date-sensitive information.

     Total other expense decreased by $1,120,000,  or 23%, to $3,781,000 in 1995
as compared to 1994. Salaries and benefits for 1995 increased by $38,000, or 2%,
to  $1,649,000  as compared to 1994,  primarily  due to normal merit  increases.
Occupancy and equipment expense decreased by $52,000,  or 7%, to $699,000 during
the  same  period,  principally  due to  decreases  in  operating  costs  of the
Company's  main office  location which were passed through to the Company by the
landlord.  Professional  fees decreased by $534,000,  or 60%, to $353,000.  This
decrease is  attributable  to decreases in legal and other costs  related to the
issue of the  ownership of certain  shares of the Company's  common  stock,  the
expensing in 1994 of previously deferred

                                       21

<PAGE>



professional  fees related to the  Company's  proposed  securities  offering and
decreases in legal fees related to three employment  related lawsuits which were
concluded in 1994.  Professional  fees for 1995 included costs of  approximately
$102,000  incurred to finalize the issues  surrounding  the ownership of certain
shares of the  Company's  common stock.  Data  processing  expense  increased by
$34,000,  or 13%,  to $300,000  in 1995 as  compared  to 1994.  Other  operating
expense  decreased  by $605,000 in 1995 as compared to 1994.  Of this  decrease,
$387,000  was  attributable  to  expenses  incurred  in 1994 for two  employment
related  lawsuits  settled in 1994.  During 1995,  the Bank also  experienced an
$87,000  decrease in total FDIC  insurance  premiums  as a result of  additional
premium  rate  reductions.  The  remainder of the decrease was due to savings in
various office operating expenses.

Income Tax Expense

     Income tax expense of $648,000  for 1996  reflected an increase of $380,000
over the  $268,000  tax expense  recorded one year earlier due to an increase in
the Company's effective tax rate to 36% from 22% one year earlier.  During 1995,
the Company  reduced its deferred tax valuation  allowance to zero which reduced
the effective tax rate.

     Income tax expense for 1995 was  recorded at a combined tax rate of 22%, as
the Company eliminated the remaining  valuation allowance on deferred tax assets
during the year. See Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Analysis of Loans

     The loan portfolio at December 31, 1996 increased by $9,421,000, or 15%, to
$73,013,000  from  $63,592,000 at December 31, 1995. The majority of this growth
was in  commercial  real estate  mortgages as the Company  focused its marketing
efforts on  commercial  real estate loans.  The Company  believes such loans are
cost effective because larger balances can be underwritten in the same amount of
time as lesser  amounts of other types of loans.  The Company also believes that
such  loans are  secured by  collateral  which is more  permanent  in nature and
requires less  periodic  monitoring  to assess the  Company's  ongoing  security
position.  On average,  the Company's loans  increased by $2,032,000,  or 3%, to
$62,350,000  for 1996 from  $60,318,000 for 1995,  however,  the average loan to
deposit  ratio  decreased  to 76% from 82% during the same  period.  The loan to
deposit  ratio at both  December  31,  1996 and 1995 was 77%.  The Company has a
target loan to deposit ratio of 80% based on quarterly averages.  See "Liquidity
and Capital Resources" for a further discussion of this ratio.

     For a  summary  of loans  by  category  and by  industry  concentration  at
December 31, 1996 and 1995,  see Note 4 of the Notes to  Consolidated  Financial
Statements.

1    Includes demand loans,  loans having no stated schedule of repayment and no
     stated maturity, and overdrafts.

2    Loan maturity is based upon individual loan contract terms. The Company has
     not established a rollover policy.  Each loan is reviewed on a case by case
     basis with respect to renewal.

3    The Company has no foreign loans.

4    The above table does not include  deferred  income and  unearned  discounts
     which total a credit balance of $218,558.


Analysis of Investments

     The Company  classifies its debt and marketable  equity securities into one
of three categories:  trading, available for sale, or held to maturity. See Note
1(c) of the Notes to Consolidated  Financial Statements.  The available for sale
portfolio  exists  to  maintain  adequate  liquidity  and to  provide a base for
executing  asset/liability  management strategy. These securities may be sold in
response to changes in interest rates,  restructuring of maturity distributions,
need for additional funds for loans, tax planning and regulatory  needs, as well
as for other  purposes.  The value of securities  recorded as available for sale
fluctuates  based on  changes in  interest  rates.  Generally,  an  increase  in
interest rates will result in a decline in the value of securities available for
sale,  while a decline in interest rates will result in an increase in the value
of such securities.  Therefore,  the value of securities  available for sale and
the Company's stockholders' equity is subject to fluctuation based on changes in
interest rates.

     Securities  available  for  sale  increased  by  $5,697,000,  or  103%,  to
$11,205,000  at December 31, 1996 from  $5,508,000 at December 31, 1995.  During
the last  quarter of 1996,  funds  raised in the  Company's  public  offering of
common stock completed in the third quarter of 1996, were  principally  invested
in obligations  of U.S.  Government  agencies with up to three year  maturities,
pending the longer-term use of the proceeds.  Investment securities increased by
$3,448,000,  or 42%, to  $11,641,000  at December  31, 1996 from  $8,193,000  at
December 31, 1995,  reflective of the Company's  increased liquidity levels. See
"Liquidity  and  Capital  Resources"  for a further  analysis of  liquidity.  On
average for 1996,  the combined  investment  and available  for sale  securities
portfolio  decreased  by  $1,572,000,  or 11%,  to  $12,795,000  for  1996  from
$14,367,000 for 1995.

     reliable  indicator of expected  life because  borrowers  have the right to
     repay their  obligations  at any time.  Monthly  amortization  prior to the
     final maturity is not shown as it cannot be reasonably estimated.

Consolidated Financial Statements.

Noninterest-Earning Assets

     Cash and due from banks of  $9,785,000  at December  31, 1996  reflected an
increase of  $4,832,000,  or 98%,  from the  $4,953,000  balance at December 31,
1995. Of this increase $2,800,000 was attributable to one large deposit received
on December 31, 1996 from one of the Company's large commercial  customers which
was not yet available for investment  with other financial  institutions,  while
the  remainder was  attributable  to higher cash levels due to the new branch as
well as normal  fluctuations in cash balances  maintained at the Federal Reserve
Bank between December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995.

     Bank  premises and  equipment of $840,000 at December 31, 1996  reflected a
202%  increase of $562,000  from the $278,000  balance  reported at December 31,
1995. This increase was due to leasehold  improvements and equipment  associated
with the opening of the new branch as well as the local area  network  which was
installed during 1996.

Deposits

     Total   deposits  of   $95,155,000   at  December  31,  1996  increased  by
$12,092,000, or 15%, from the December 31, 1995 balance of $83,063,000.

     Although  demand  deposit  balances of  $23,678,000  at  December  31, 1996
increased $234,000 over the balance at December 31, 1995 of $23,444,000, average
demand deposits for 1996 of $22,099,000 increased  $3,552,000,  or 19%, over the
average balance for 1995. Negotiable Order of Withdrawal,  or "NOW" accounts, at
December 31, 1996 of $8,040,000  increased $697,000,  or 9%, over the balance at
December  31,  1995 of  $7,343,000,  while  average  NOW  accounts  for  1996 of
$8,019,000 decreased $2,110,000,  or 21%, as compared to the average balance for
1995.  Money  market  accounts of  $29,533,000  at December  31, 1996  increased
$8,141,000,  or 38%,  over the  $21,392,000  balance at December 31,  1995,  due
principally  to the opening of new deposit  accounts as well as increases in the
balances of corporate and personal accounts,  with a corresponding effect on the
average balances.  In addition,  the new branch opening in the fourth quarter of
1996 contributed to the deposit increases.

     Certificates  of deposit of  $100,000  or greater at  December  31, 1996 of
$15,658,000  increased by $2,067,000,  or 15%, from the $13,591,000  reported at
December 31, 1995 primarily

                                       25

due to increases in collateralized government deposits.  Certificates of deposit
under $100,000 increased by $890,000, or 6%, to $16,866,000 at December 31, 1996
from  $15,976,000  at December 31, 1995.  This  increase is primarily due to the
issuance of brokered deposits in the first half of 1996.

Short-Term Borrowings

     Short-term borrowings of $1,917,000 at December 31, 1996 consisted entirely
of  repurchase  agreements  with  customers of the Company.  This  compares with
repurchase  agreements  outstanding  at  December  31, 1995 of  $1,785,000.  For
additional  information  on short-term  borrowings,  see Note 10 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.

Long-Term Borrowings

     On May 21, 1996,  the Bank paid off the remaining  balance on its long-term
capital note with Minbanc  Capital  Corp.  On October 1, 1996,  the Bank entered
into an agreement to borrow $1,143,000 for  approximately  twelve years at 6.95%
from the Federal Home Loan Bank Board under its  Community  Investment  Program.
These  proceeds  were  used  to  fund a loan at a  positive  spread  with a like
amortization and maturity.

Asset Quality

     Loan Portfolio and Adequacy of the Allowance for Loan Losses

     The Company manages the risk  characteristics of its loan portfolio through
various control  processes,  such as credit evaluation of individual  borrowers,
establishment  of  lending  limits to  individuals  and  application  of lending
procedures,  such as the holding of adequate  collateral and the  maintenance of
compensating  balances.  Although credit policies are designed to minimize risk,
management  recognizes  that loan losses will occur and that the amount of these
losses  will  fluctuate  depending  on the  risk  characteristics  of  the  loan
portfolio as well as general and regional economic conditions.

     As a result of  improvement  in the quality of the loan  portfolio over the
last few years as well as relatively low levels of net charge-offs,  the Company
has not taken a  provision  for loan  losses  since the third  quarter  of 1994.
Despite this, the unallocated portion of the Company's Allowance for Loan Losses
has continued to increase since that time. During the third quarter of 1996, the
Company received a recovery of approximately $87,000 on a previously charged off
loan, further increasing the level of the unallocated  reserves.  As of December
31, 1996,  the Company  evaluated  the level of the  Allowance  for Loan Losses,
specifically  the  unallocated  portion,  to determine  the level which would be
prudent given the Company's  nonperforming  asset and charge-off trends while at
the same time  providing an  appropriate  level of  unallocated  reserve for any
potential losses which may be identified. Following this evaluation, the Company
reversed  $275,000  of  the  loan  loss  provision  during  1996,   leaving  the
unallocated portion of the allowance for loan losses at $117,000 at December 31,
1996.  Throughout  this  process,  the Company  continues to recognize  the risk
characteristics  of the loan portfolio,  including specific reserves for problem
credits  and general  reserves  for the overall  loan  portfolio,  and deems the
allowance for loan losses of $1,048,000 at December 31, 1996 to be adequate.

     At December  31, 1996,  the  allowance  for loan losses as a percentage  of
outstanding  loans was 1.44% as  compared to 2.00% at December  31,  1995.  This
decrease is predominantly due to

                                       27

<PAGE>



improvement in the quality of the loan portfolio. See analysis of "Nonperforming
Assets" for a further discussion of asset quality.  In assessing the adequacy of
the allowance for loan losses, management primarily relies on its ongoing review
of the loan portfolio,  which is undertaken both to determine  whether there are
probable losses which must be written off and to assess the risk characteristics
of the loan  portfolio  as a whole.  In  addition  to  actual  loss  experience,
management  considers factors such as industry specific  composition of the loan
portfolio and the general and regional  economic  conditions.  This review takes
into account the judgment of the individual loan officer,  senior management and
the Board of Directors.  The Board of Directors reviews the Company's Classified
and Criticized  Loans  Quarterly  Report and quarterly  loan loss  analyses.  In
addition, the Company's review takes into account the judgment of the regulatory
agencies  that review the loan  portfolio  as a part of the regular  examination
process. Such regulatory agencies may require the Company to recognize additions
to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at
the time of their  examination.  The Company also has an independent loan review
performed by a consultant on an annual basis,  which during the last three years
covered  approximately  72% of the  dollar  volume  of the loan  portfolio,  and
included 97% of the criticized  and  classified  loans.  While  management  uses
available  information  to recognize  losses on loans,  future  additions may be
necessary based on changes in economic conditions and other factors.

In reviewing  the adequacy of the  allowance  for loan losses,  the Company also
prepares a detailed migration  analysis which measures the Company's  historical
loss experience relative to the risk classifications  within the individual loan
portfolio  pools.  This historical loss experience is then adjusted for external
factors  such as trends in volumes and  characteristics  of loans,  national and
local economic  trends and management  experience,  among other factors,  and is
applied  to the  current  outstanding  loan  portfolio  pools  within  each risk
classification.   Based  on  the  results  of  this  migration  analysis,  which
encompasses all of the factors previously used, management makes a determination
as to the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.

     The table entitled  "Allocation of Allowance for Loan Losses" sets forth an
analysis of the  allocation of the allowance for loan losses by categories as of
December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994.

     Nonperforming Assets

     Nonperforming assets include nonaccrual loans, restructured loans, past due
loans  and  other  real  estate.  See Note  1(d) of the  Notes  to  Consolidated
Financial Statements.

     Nonaccrual  loans at December  31, 1996 of $963,000  decreased  by $598,000
from  $1,561,000 at December 31, 1995,  while  restructured  loans  decreased by
$672,000 to $573,000  at December  31, 1996 due to the payoff of one loan.  Past
due loans  increased by $147,000 to $153,000 at December 31, 1996 from $6,000 at
December 31, 1995 due  principally to one credit which was both well secured and
in the process of collection.  At December 31, 1996 and 1995,  nonaccrual  loans
included $607,000 and $875,000, respectively, in loans guaranteed by the SBA for
a total of $594,000 and $743,000, respectively. Banking regulations require that
the full balance of these loans be placed on nonaccrual status,  despite the SBA
guarantee  on a portion  of the  loan.  During  1996,  the  Company  transferred
$249,000  to other real  estate  from loans  recorded  on  nonaccrual  status at
December 31, 1995, reflecting real property acquired in satisfaction of the loan
balance. All such property was sold during 1996 at a gain of $27,000.

1    Nonaccrual  loans include  $607,000 and $875,000 in loans guaranteed by the
     SBA at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The outstanding balance of
     these loans are insured for 97.9%,  or  $594,000,  and 84.9%,  or $743,000,
     respectively.

2    Ratios include SBA guaranteed loan balances.

     For additional information concerning nonaccrual, restructured and past due
loans,  see Note 4 to the Notes to Consolidated  Financial  Statements  included
herein.


Potential Problem Loans

     At December 31, 1996 and 1995,  respectively,  loans totaling  $781,000 and
$618,000 were  classified  as potential  problem loans which are not reported in
the table entitled "Analysis of Nonperforming  Assets". These loans were made to
borrowers who subsequently  experienced  financial  difficulties.  The loans are
subject to  management  attention  and their  classification  is  reviewed  on a
quarterly basis. Of the potential problem loans at December 31, 1996, 91% of the
balance represents loans which are partially to fully secured.  The remaining 9%
of the balance, or $73,000, is guaranteed by the SBA for a total of $66,000.

     Of the $618,000 in problem loans at December 31, 1995,  98% were  partially
to fully secured with the remaining 2%, or $15,000, guaranteed by the SBA.

Impaired Loans

     At December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively,  loans totaling $1,955,000 and
$2,790,000  were  classified  as impaired  loans,  all of which are  reported as
nonaccrual,  restructured or potential problem loans. For additional information
concerning  impaired loans,  see Note 4 to the Notes to  Consolidated  Financial
Statements.

Interest Sensitivity Management

     The sensitivity of net interest income to fluctuations in interest rates is
known as interest rate risk.  Sensitivity arises when assets and liabilities are
not  subject to rate  repricing  within the same  period.  As shown by the table
entitled "Analysis of Interest Rate Sensitivity," at December 31, 1996, interest
sensitive  assets repricing within each period of less than one year ranged from
78% to  103% of  interest  sensitive  liabilities  repricing  in the  comparable
periods.  When non-rate  sensitive  assets and  liabilities  are  excluded,  the
interest  sensitive  assets in each  remaining  period  beyond  one year  exceed
interest sensitive liabilities  repricing in the comparable periods.  Management
of interest  rate  sensitivity  is monitored by the  Asset/Liability  Investment
Committee  of the Bank which meets  monthly and  includes  members of the Bank's
Board of Directors as well as the Bank's officers.

     The Committee considers, among other things, the sensitivity of major asset
and liability  categories to anticipated interest rate changes. The Company does
not necessarily attempt to

                                       30

<PAGE>



maintain a matched  position  for each time frame.  While  interest  sensitivity
analysis  is a useful tool for  asset/liability  management,  limitations  exist
which make it difficult to predict the Company's  net interest  income solely on
the basis of the interest  sensitivity  position.  For example, the relationship
between  interest  rates  earned on loans,  particularly  the  prime  rate,  and
interest  rates  paid on  deposits  is not  constant  over time.  Despite  these
limitations, in an effort to better predict the effect of possible interest rate
changes on net interest  income,  the Company  also  prepares an analysis of the
effect on net interest income of interest rate shocks of 1%, 2% and 3% in either
direction. Based on the Company's interest sensitivity position and the analyses
performed of the effect of interest  rate  movements  at December 31, 1996,  net
interest income will not be materially  impacted by either a rising or declining
interest rate environment.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Liquidity

     Principal  sources of liquidity are cash and  unpledged  assets that can be
readily converted into cash, including investment securities maturing within one
year,  the available  for sale  security  portfolio  and  short-term  loans.  In
addition to $15,364,000 in cash and short-term investments at December 31, 1996,
the Company has a securities  portfolio which can be pledged to raise additional
deposits and  borrowings,  if necessary.  At December 31, 1996,  the Company had
$7,451,000  in unpledged  securities  which were  available  for such use.  This
compares  with cash and  short-term  investments  of  $14,915,000  and unpledged
securities  of $4,658,000 at December 31, 1995. As a percentage of total assets,
the amount of these cash equivalent assets at December 31, 1996 and 1995 was 20%
and 21%, respectively.  Normal fluctuations in the deposit levels of some of the
Company's large corporate customers may result in corresponding  fluctuations in
the Company's  liquidity  position  (short-term  investments).  On average,  the
Company's  short-term  investments,  which  consist  of  Federal  funds sold and
interest-bearing  deposits in other banks, increased during 1996 by $10,944,000,
or 410%, to $13,612,000 for 1996 as compared to $2,668,000 for 1995. In order to
maintain  maximum  flexibility,  proceeds  from  the  Company's  stock  offering
completed  in the third  quarter of 1996 were  temporarily  invested  in federal
funds  sold  at  rates  which  were  competitive   with  short-term   government
securities.  This coupled with normal  fluctuations  in the Company's  liquidity
accounted for the variance in average  federal funds sold. The Bank's  liquidity
needs are  mitigated  by the  sizeable  base of  relatively  stable  funds which
includes demand deposits,  NOW and money market  accounts,  savings deposits and
nonbrokered   certificates  of  deposit  under  $100,000  (excluding   financial
institutions  and  custodial  funds raised under deposit  acquisition  programs)
representing  79%, and 76% of the average  total  deposit base in 1996 and 1995,
respectively.  In  addition,  the  Bank  has  unsecured  lines  of  credit  from
correspondent  financial  institutions  which can  provide  up to an  additional
$1,000,000  in  liquidity  as well as access to other  collateralized  borrowing
programs.  The Bank  maintained  an average loan to deposit ratio of 76% and 82%
during 1996 and 1995, respectively, and accesses collateralized deposit programs
through U.S.  government agencies to raise additional  deposits,  when liquidity
needs dictate.

     Through  its  membership  in the  Federal  Home Loan Bank of  Atlanta  (the
"FHLB"),  which  serves as a reserve  or central  bank for  member  institutions
within its region,  at December  31, 1996 the Bank was  eligible to borrow up to
approximately  $1,283,000 in funds from the FHLB collateralized by loans secured
by first liens on one to four family,  multifamily  and commercial  mortgages as
well as investment  securities.  At December 31, 1996,  $1,139,000 in borrowings
from the FHLB were  outstanding.  The Bank is eligible  to increase  the maximum
amount  to be  borrowed  by  $7,717,000  with  the  purchase  of  $1,696,000  of
additional  stock in the FHLB.  The Company has  adequate  resources to meet its
liquidity needs.

     Net proceeds of $6,019,000 from the Company's  stock offering  coupled with
increases in deposit  levels  comprised  the majority of the  Company's net cash
inflows from  financing  activities  for 1996, as increases in deposits  totaled
$12,092,000.  Loan originations and security purchases exceeded curtailments and
repayments of loans and maturities and scheduled

                                       32

<PAGE>



amortization  of  securities  during  1996,  constituting  the  majority  of the
Company's cash outflows from investing activities.

     Stockholders' Equity

     During 1996, the Company  completed a stock offering issuing 795,500 shares
at a price of $8.75 per  share,  resulting  in net  proceeds  to the  Company of
$6,019,000  after  underwriting  discounts,  commissions and expenses.  Of these
proceeds,  $219,000 was used to fund a loan to The Adams  National Bank Employee
Stock Ownership Plan with 401(k)  Provisions  ("ESOP") to purchase stock in that
public offering.  Immediately prior to the stock offering, the Company increased
the  number of shares of  authorized  Common  Stock from  800,000 to  5,000,000,
reduced the par value to $0.01 per share and issued a three-for-one  stock split
in the form of a stock  dividend of two shares of Common Stock for each share of
Common Stock issued and outstanding.  As of July 12, 1996, the effective date of
the offering,  the Company's Common Stock was approved for listing on the Nasdaq
National Market.

     Stockholders'  equity at December 31, 1996 of $13,140,000 was nearly double
the balance at December 31, 1995 of  $6,619,000  principally  as a result of the
$6,019,000  in  net  proceeds  raised  in the  Company's  public  offering.  The
Company's  $1,127,000  net income for 1996 and a $6,000  decrease in  unrealized
loss on securities,  net of taxes, partially offset by dividends declared during
the year of $467,000 also  contributed to this increase.  Average  stockholders'
equity as a percentage  of average  total assets for 1996 was 10.06% as compared
to 7.50% for the comparable prior year period.

     The following table presents the Company's and the Bank's capital  position
relative to their various minimum statutory and regulatory capital  requirements
at December 31, 1996. The Company and the Bank are considered "well-capitalized"
under regulatory guidelines.

Independent Auditors' Report

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Abigail Adams National Bancorp, Inc.

We have audited the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheet of Abigail Adams
National  Bancorp,  Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 1996, and the related
consolidated statements of operations,  changes in stockholders' equity and cash
flows  for the year  ended  December  31,  1996.  These  consolidated  financial
statements   are  the   responsibility   of  the   Company's   management.   Our
responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  these  consolidated  financial
statements based on our audit.

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

               ABIGAIL ADAMS NATIONAL BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                           December 31, 1996 and 1995

1.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
     Abigail Adams National  Bancorp,  Inc. (the "Company") and its wholly-owned
     subsidiary,  The Adams National Bank (the "Bank"),  prepare their financial
     statements on the accrual basis and in conformity  with generally  accepted
     accounting  principles.   The  more  significant  accounting  policies  are
     explained  below.  As used herein,  the term the Company  includes the Bank
     unless the context otherwise requires.

     (a)  Principles of Consolidation
          The  consolidated  financial  statements  include the  accounts of the
          Company  and the  Bank.  All  significant  intercompany  accounts  and
          transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

     (b)  Cash and Cash Equivalents
          The Company has defined  cash and cash  equivalents  as those  amounts
          included in cash and due from banks and Federal funds sold.

     (c)  Securities
          Management determines the appropriate classifications of securities at
          the time of purchase. Securities which the Company has the ability and
          the  intent  to hold  until  maturity  are  classified  as  investment
          securities and reported at amortized cost.  Securities bought and held
          principally  for the  purpose  of  selling  them in the near  term are
          classified   as  trading  and  reported  at  fair  market  value  with
          unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. Securities which are
          not  classified  as  trading or held to  maturity  are  classified  as
          available  for sale and are  reported  at fair value  with  unrealized
          gains and losses  reported as a separate  component  of  stockholders'
          equity. The unrealized loss on securities recognized had the effect of
          decreasing the Company's stockholders' equity by approximately $34,000
          and $40,000, net of tax, at December 31, 1996 and 1995,  respectively.
          The Company does not maintain a trading account.

          Premiums and discounts are amortized using a method which approximates
          the effective interest method over the term of the security.

     (d)  Loans
          Loans are stated at unpaid principal amount,  net of unearned discount
          and deferred loan fees and costs.

          The  Company  discontinues  the  accrual of  interest  when the timely
          collection of principal or interest is doubtful. Interest accruals are
          resumed on such loans when they are brought fully current with respect
          to interest and principal or when, in the judgment of management,  the
          loans have  demonstrated a new period of performance and are estimated
          to be fully collectible as to both principal and interest.


     (e)  Allowance for Loan Losses
          The allowance for loan losses is a current estimate of the anticipated
          losses in the present loan  portfolio.  The  allowance is increased by
          provisions  charged  to  operating  expenses  and  decreased  by  loan
          charge-offs, net of recoveries. The allowance for loan losses is based
          on  management's  evaluation of several  factors,  including loan loss
          experience,  composition  and  volume of the loan  portfolio,  overall
          portfolio  quality,  review of  specific  problem  loans  and  current
          economic trends and specific conditions that may effect the borrower's
          ability  to pay.  In  addition,  various  regulatory  agencies,  as an
          integral part of their examination  process,  periodically  review the
          Company's  allowance  for loan losses.  Such  agencies may require the
          Company  to  recognize  additions  to the  allowance  based  on  their
          judgments  about  information  available  to them at the time of their
          examination.  Management  believes that the current allowance for loan
          losses is adequate to absorb  losses that are  inherent in the current
          loan portfolio.

     (f)  Loan Origination Fees and Costs
          All fee income received from loan origination and purchases as well as
          costs directly attributable to the loan origination are deferred.  The
          net deferred  fees are amortized  into  interest  income on loans as a
          yield  adjustment  over the estimated life of the loan.  Deferred fees
          and costs are not amortized during periods in which interest income is
          not being recognized because of concerns about the realization of loan
          principal or interest.  Discounts obtained on loans purchased from the
          FDIC as receiver for other banks are considered  credit  discounts and
          are not  amortized  into income  until such time as a periodic  credit
          evaluation deems that the discount, or a portion thereof, is no longer
          necessary or until such time as the loans have paid off. If the credit
          evaluation  deems all or some of the discount is no longer  necessary,
          it is then amortized into interest on loans as a yield adjustment over
          the remaining estimated life of the loan.

     (g)  Depreciation
          Depreciation  of Bank  premises  and  equipment  is computed  over the
          estimated useful lives of the respective assets, ranging from three to
          five years, on the  straight-line  basis.  Leasehold  improvements are
          amortized on a straight-line  basis over the estimated useful lives of
          the respective assets or the terms of the respective leases, whichever
          is shorter.  Expenditures  for major renewals and  betterments of Bank
          premises  and  equipment  are   capitalized  at  cost  and  those  for
          maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

     (h)  Other Real Estate
          Other  real  estate   includes  assets  that  have  been  acquired  in
          satisfaction of debt ("assets  owned").  Other real estate is recorded
          at the lower of cost or fair value. Any valuation adjustments required
          at the date of transfer are charged to the  allowance for loan losses.
          Subsequent to  acquisition,  other real estate is carried at the lower
          of its cost basis at foreclosure or fair value less estimated  selling
          costs, based upon periodic evaluations.

     (i)  Stockholders' Equity
          All financial  information  presented gives  retroactive  effect to an
          increase  in the  number of shares of  authorized  Common  Stock  from
          800,000 to  5,000,000  and a reduction of par value to $0.01 per share
          as of July 8, 1996, and the issuance by the Company on July 9, 1996 of
          a  three-for-one  stock  split in the form of a stock  dividend of two
          shares of Common  Stock for each  share of  Common  Stock  issued  and
          outstanding.

          Dividends totaling $467,000,  or $.37 per share, and $142,000, or $.17
          per share, were declared in 1996 and 1995, respectively.

     (j)  Income Taxes
          Deferred tax assets and  liabilities are recognized for the future tax
          consequences   attributable  to  differences   between  the  financial
          statement  carrying  amounts of existing  assets and  liabilities  and
          their  respective tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and  liabilities are
          measured  using enacted tax rates  expected to apply to taxable income
          in the years in which those  temporary  differences are expected to be
          recovered   or  settled.   The  effect  on  deferred  tax  assets  and
          liabilities  of a change in tax rates is  recognized  in income in the
          period that includes the enactment date.

     (k)  Net Income (Loss) Per Share
          Net income  (loss) per common  share is  calculated  by  dividing  net
          income  (loss)  by  the  weighted  average  number  of  common  shares
          outstanding  during the year,  1,200,803 in 1996,  and 854,532 in 1995
          and 1994.

     (l)  Fair Value Disclosures
          In December,  1991 the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued
          Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 107, "Disclosures About
          Fair Value of  Financial  Instruments"  (SFAS No.  107).  SFAS No. 107
          requires entities to disclose the fair value of financial instruments,
          both  assets and  liabilities  recognized  and not  recognized  in the
          statement of financial position, for which it is practical to estimate
          fair value.  SFAS No. 107 is effective for the Company at December 31,
          1995.  The  fair  value  of the  Company's  financial  instruments  is
          reported in Note 18.

     (m)  Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan
          The  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board has issued  Statement  of
          Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for
          Impairment  of a Loan"  (SFAS  No.  114) and  Statement  of  Financial
          Accounting  Standards No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment
          of a Loan - Income  Recognition and Disclosures"  (SFAS No. 118) which
          amended SFAS No. 114. SFAS No. 114 and SFAS No. 118 require  creditors
          to measure impaired loans in one

                                       43

<PAGE>



          of three  ways:  the  present  value of  expected  future  cash  flows
          discounted  at  the  loan's   effective   interest  rate,  the  loan's
          observable   market  price  or  the  fair  value  of  the   underlying
          collateral.  If the  measure  of the  impaired  loan is less  than the
          recorded  investment  in the loan,  the creditor  shall  recognize the
          impairment  by creating a  valuation  allowance  with a  corresponding
          charge to expense.  SFAS No. 114 and SFAS No. 118 were  adopted by the
          Company as of January 1, 1995.  The  adoption of SFAS No. 114 and SFAS
          No. 118 did not have a material impact on the Company.

     (n)  Derivative Financial Instruments
          In October  1994,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued
          Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 119, "Disclosure about
          Derivative   Financial   Instruments   and  Fair  Value  of  Financial
          Instruments"  (SFAS  No.  119).  SFAS No.  119  requires  entities  to
          disclose  the  amount,  nature and terms of all  derivative  financial
          instruments,  such as futures,  forward, swap or option contracts,  or
          other  financial  instruments  with  similar  characteristics,  and to
          separately  disclose certain information about these instruments which
          are held or issued for  trading  purposes  and those which are held or
          issued for purposes other than trading. SFAS No. 119 was adopted as of
          January 1, 1995.

     (o)  Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
          In  March  1995,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  issued
          Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 121, "Accounting for
          the Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets and for  Long-Lived  Assets to Be
          Disposed Of" (SFAS No. 121).  SFAS No. 121 requires  that assets to be
          held  and  used  be  evaluated  for  impairment   whenever  events  or
          circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
          SFAS No. 121 also  requires  that assets to be disposed of be reported
          at the lower of cost or fair value less selling  costs.  SFAS No. 121,
          which was adopted by the Company as of January 1, 1996,  does not have
          a material impact on the results of operations or financial position.

     (p)  Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights
          In May 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
          of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 122,  "Accounting for Mortgage
          Servicing Rights" (SFAS No. 122). SFAS No. 122 provides accounting for
          mortgage  servicers that sell or securitize loans and retain servicing
          rights.  SFAS No. 122 is effective as of January 1, 1996.  The Company
          does  not  sell  or  securitize   mortgage  loans  and  therefore  the
          implementation of SFAS No. 122 will not have a material impact.

     (q)  Accounting for Stock Based Compensation
          In October  1995,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued
          Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 123, "Accounting for
          Stock  Based  Compensation"  (SFAS  No.  123).  SFAS  No.  123  allows
          companies  either to  continue  to account  for  stock-based  employee
          compensation plans under existing  accounting  standards or to adopt a
          fair-value-based  method of accounting as defined in the new standard.
          The Company follows the existing accounting standards for these plans,
          but has provided  pro-forma  disclosure of net income and earnings per
          share as if the expense provisions of SFAS No. 123 had been adopted in
          Note 15.

     (r)  Risks and Uncertainties
          The   Company  is  subject  to   competition   from  other   financial
          institutions,  and is  also  subject  to the  regulations  of  certain
          federal   agencies  and  undergoes   periodic   examination  by  those
          regulatory authorities.

          The  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  in  conformity  with
          generally accepted accounting  principles.  In preparing the financial
          statements,  management is required to make estimates and  assumptions
          that affect the reported  amounts of assets and  liabilities as of the
          date of the balance  sheet and  revenues  and expenses for the period.
          Actual results could differ significantly 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  real  estate  acquired  in
          connection   with   foreclosures  or  in  satisfaction  of  loans.  In
          connection  with the  determination  of the allowances for loan losses
          and other real estate,  management  periodically  obtains  independent
          appraisals for significant properties.

     (s)  Reclassifications
          Certain   reclassifications  have  been  made  to  amounts  previously
          reported in 1995 and 1994 to conform with the 1996 presentation.

2.   Restrictions on Cash Balances
     Included  in cash and due from  banks are  balances  maintained  within the
     Company to satisfy legally required reserves and to compensate for services
     provided from correspondent  banks.  Balances maintained totaled $1,543,000
     and $1,475,000 at December 31, 1996 and 1995,  respectively.  There were no
     other  withdrawal,  usage  restrictions  or legally  required  compensating
     balances at December 31, 1996 or 1995.

     Securities in the amount of  approximately  $14,938,000 and $8,616,000 were
     pledged to  collateralize  public  deposits and  repurchase  agreements  at
     December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

     The  Company  had no  securities  whose book value as to any single  issuer
     exceeded 10% of  stockholders'  equity.  During 1996,  the Company held one
     security  totaling  $310,000  which was exempt from  federal  taxation.  No
     securities which were exempt from federal taxation were held during 1995.

     During 1994, the Company reclassified  $3,500,000 in securities  previously
     classified  as  available  for  sale  to the  held to  maturity  portfolio,
     resulting in an unrealized  loss, net of taxes,  on the date of transfer of
     approximately  $86,000.  This  unrealized  loss is  recorded  in equity and
     amortized  as  a  yield   adjustment   over  the  remaining  terms  of  the
     reclassified securities. This amortization of approximately $63,000, net of
     taxes,  as of December 31,  1996,  coupled  with  unrealized  losses in the
     remaining  available for sale portfolio of $11,000,  net of taxes,  brought
     the equity balance of unrealized  loss on securities to $34,000 at December
     31, 1996.

and $41,418,000,  or  approximately  65%, at December 31, 1995, of the Company's
loans are  secured by real estate in the  Washington,  D.C.  metropolitan  area.
Accordingly,  the  ultimate  collectibility  of a  substantial  portion  of  the
Company's loan  portfolio is susceptible to changes in market  conditions in the
Washington metropolitan area.

Included in the accompanying  consolidated balance sheets are certain loans that
are  accounted  for  on a  nonaccrual  basis.  These  nonaccrual  loans  totaled
approximately $963,000, $1,561,000 and $1,244,000 at December 31, 1996, 1995 and
1994, respectively. Had the loans been current in accordance with their original
terms, gross interest income for these loans would have been $124,000,  $212,000
and $150,000 in 1996,  1995 and 1994,  respectively.  Actual  recorded  interest
income on these  loans  was $0,  $40,000  and  $53,000  in 1996,  1995 and 1994,
respectively.  Nonaccrual  loans include  $607,000,  $875,000 and  $1,013,000 in
loans guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration at December 31, 1996,
1995 and 1994, respectively.  These loans are guaranteed for an average of 97.9%
of the outstanding  balance, or $594,000,  84.9% of the outstanding  balance, or
$743,000,  and 87.3% of the  outstanding  balance,  or $884,000 at December  31,
1996,  1995  and  1994,   respectively.   Also  included  in  the   accompanying
consolidated balance sheets are $573,000,  $1,245,000 and $1,301,000 in loans at
December  31,  1996,  1995  and  1994,  respectively,   restructured  due  to  a
deterioration  in the  financial  condition of the  borrowers.  Actual  interest
income  recorded  subsequent to the date of  restructuring  on loans reported as
restructured  at each year-end was $63,000,  $124,000 and $110,000 in 1996, 1995
and 1994,  respectively.  As of year-end 1996,  1995 and 1994,  these loans were
performing  substantially in accordance with the restructured terms. The Company
had no commitments to lend additional  funds to any of the borrowers whose loans
are recorded as nonaccrual or  restructured at December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994.
At December  31,  1996,  1995 and 1994,  the Company  had  $153,000,  $6,000 and
$3,000, respectively,  in loans greater than 90 days delinquent which were still
accruing.  These loans  consisted  primarily of loans which were both adequately
secured and in the process of collection.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, the
Company deems it probable it will be unable to collect all amounts contractually
due under the loan. The recorded investment in impaired loans was $1,955,000 and
$2,790,000  at  December  31,  1996 and 1995,  respectively.  Of the  balance at
December  31,  1996 and  1995,  $1,509,000  and  $2,775,000,  respectively,  are
nonaccrual  or  restructured  loans.  Included in these amounts for December 31,
1996 and 1995, respectively, are $1,855,000 and $1,631,000 of impaired loans for
which the related impairment  allowance is $264,000 and $416,000.  Loans that do
not have an impairment  allowance  were $100,000 and  $1,037,000 at December 31,
1996 and 1995,  respectively.  The average recorded investment in impaired loans
was  $2,619,000  and  $2,918,000  during 1996 and 1995,  respectively.  Interest
income recognized on impaired loans during the years ended December 31, 1996 and
1995 which has not been  disclosed  above in the  discussion of  nonaccrual  and
restructured loans was $19,000 and $2,000,

respectively.  The allowance for credit losses contains  additional  amounts for
impaired loans as deemed necessary to maintain  allowances at levels  considered
adequate by management.

The  Company  has  engaged in banking  transactions  in the  ordinary  course of
business with some of its directors,  officers, principal shareholders and their
associates.  Management  believes that all loans or  commitments to extend loans
and the payment of overdrafts included in such transactions are made on the same
terms, including interest rates and collateral,  as those prevailing at the time
of  comparable  loans with other persons and do not involve more than the normal
risk of  collectibility.  At December 31, 1996 and 1995, none of these loans are
either reported as nonaccrual,  restructured or classified. The aggregate amount
of loans to related  parties for the years ended  December 31, 1996 and 1995 was
as follows:

9.   Long-Term Borrowings/Debt
     On October 1, 1996, the Bank entered into an agreement to borrow funds from
     the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta  ("FHLB").  The principal  balance of
     this  note  shall be  repaid  in 146  monthly  installments  commencing  on
     November 1, 1996 through the note's  maturity on December 1, 2008. The rate
     of  interest  payable  on the  principal  balance  of this note is fixed at
     6.95%.  The  outstanding  balance of loans  pledged at December 31, 1996 to
     collateralize  this debt is  disclosed in Note 10 below.  Annual  principal
     maturities as of December 31, 1996 are as follows:

                  1997                               $ 57,516
                  1998                                 58,588
                  1999                                 64,402

                  2002 and thereafter                 809,694
                                                      -------
                                                   $1,138,815
                                                   ==========

     On May 21, 1996,  the Bank repaid its  long-term  capital note with Minbanc
     Capital  Corp.  At December  31, 1995,  the balance due on the note,  which
     carried an  interest  rate on that date of 6.00%,  was  $186,250  due to be
     repaid  in  ten  quarterly  installments  of  $18,625  each.  Prior  to the
     repayment,  the note agreement  restricted  the total cash dividends  which
     could  be  paid  by the  Bank  in any  twelve  month  period  to 25% of net
     operating income.

10.  Short-term Borrowings
     Short-term  borrowings  consist  primarily of Federal  funds  purchased and
     securities  sold  under  repurchase  agreements.  Federal  funds  purchased
     represent   overnight   funds,   while  securities  sold  under  repurchase
     agreements  generally  involve the receipt of immediately  available  funds
     which mature in one business day or roll over under a continuing contract.

     The balance of securities sold under repurchase  agreements at December 31,
     1996 and 1995 of $1,916,689 and $1,785,402, respectively,  represents funds
     received by the Company for securities sold to customers of the Company, at
     the  customer's  request,  which  mature in one  business day but roll over
     under a  continuing  contract.  In  accordance  with these  contracts,  the
     underlying securities sold are U.S. Treasuries or government agencies which
     are segregated from the Company's other investment securities in the Bank's
     Federal Reserve Bank account.  The book value of the underlying  securities
     sold under these  repurchase  agreements  at December 31, 1996 and 1995 was
     approximately $2,296,000 and $2,060,000,  respectively. The market value of
     these same  securities  at December  31, 1996 and 1995 was  $2,295,000  and
     $2,094,000,  respectively. At maturity, the same security is repurchased by
     the Company.

     Repurchase  agreements are entered into with related  parties in the normal
     course of  business.  At December  31, 1996 and 1995,  such  related  party
     repurchase   agreements  totaled   approximately   $757,000  and  $500,000,
     respectively.  In  management's  opinion,  rates  paid on these  repurchase
     agreements are available to others at the same terms.

     In  the  normal  course  of  business,  there  are  securities  sold  under
     repurchase  agreements that the Company initiates with correspondent  banks
     for liquidity purposes. As with the customer repurchase  agreements,  these
     contracts  generally  involve the receipt of  immediately  available  funds
     which mature in one business day or roll over under a continuing  contract,
     however,   the   underlying   securities   sold  are   transferred  to  the
     correspondent  bank's  Federal  Reserve Bank  account  until  maturity.  At
     maturity, the same security is repurchased by the Company.

     Other short-term borrowings during 1995 consist of borrowings from the FHLB
     for liquidity  purposes.  Borrowings are collateralized by loans secured by
     first liens on one to four family,  multifamily and commercial mortgages as
     well as investment  securities.  Although no short-term FHLB borrowings are
     outstanding  at December  31, 1996 and 1995,  the  outstanding  balances of
     loans  pledged at  December  31, 1996 and 1995 to  collateralize  long-term
     borrowings  as well as  future  short-term  borrowings  from  the  FHLB was
     $2,557,000 and $3,194,000,  respectively. The collateral value of the loans
     pledged  at  December  31,  1996 and 1995 was  $1,860,000  and  $2,127,000,
     respectively.

     Short-term borrowings for 1996 and 1995 are summarized below:

11.  Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
     In the normal course of business, there are various outstanding commitments
     and  contingent  liabilities  such as commitments to extend credit that are
     not reflected in the accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements.  No
     material  losses  are  anticipated  as a result of these  transactions.  At
     December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Company had  outstanding  letters of credit
     aggregating approximately $1,806,000 and $706,000, commitments to originate
     variable rate loans aggregating  approximately $18,026,000 and $13,867,000,
     and  commitments to originate  fixed rate loans  aggregating  approximately
     $2,464,000 and $1,410,000, respectively.

     Commitments  to extend credit are  agreements to lend to a customer as long
     as there is no  violation of any  condition  established  in the  contract.
     Commitments  generally  have fixed  expiration  dates or other  termination
     clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are
     expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total  commitment  amounts
     do  not  necessarily  represent  future  cash  requirements.   The  Company
     evaluates each  customer's  creditworthiness  on a case by case basis.  The
     amount of  collateral  obtained if deemed  necessary  by the  Company  upon
     extension of credit is based on management's credit evaluation.  Collateral
     held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant
     and equipment, and residential and income-producing commercial properties.

     Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company
     to  guarantee  the  performance  of a  customer  to a  third  party.  Those
     guarantees are primarily issued to support lease and security  deposits and
     private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters
     of  credit is  essentially  the same as that  involved  in  extending  loan
     facilities to customers.  The Company holds cash, marketable securities and
     other  collateral  supporting  those  commitments  for which  collateral is
     deemed necessary. The portion of letters of credit which are collateralized
     was 47% and 100% at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

     Under the terms of an  employment  agreement  with the  President and Chief
     Executive  Officer of the Company and the Bank, the Company is obligated to
     make payments totaling up to $389,000 to her under certain  conditions,  in
     the event her  employment is  terminated.  In addition,  upon  termination,
     certain unvested stock options granted to the President and Chief Executive
     Officer  shall  become  immediately   vested.  Such  unvested  options  are
     estimated to have an aggregate value of approximately  $304,000 at December
     31, 1996.

     Under the terms of severance agreements with seven key management officials
     of the Bank,  at December 31, 1996 the Bank is  obligated to make  payments
     totaling  $539,000  under  certain  conditions  in the event of a change in
     control of the Company or the Bank.

     The Company maintains  directors' and officers'  liability insurance in the
     amount of $2,000,000, subject to certain exclusions. In addition, according
     to the  by-laws,  the Company is  obligated  to  indemnify  any director or
     officer for losses  incurred to the full extent  authorized or permitted by
     Delaware general corporation law.


12.  Restrictions on Dividend Payments and Loans by Affiliated Bank
     Any  dividends  payable by the Company are  dependent on dividends  payable
     from the Bank to the  Company.  Federal  banking  laws  restrict  the total
     dividend  payments that a national banking  association may make during any
     calendar year to the total net income of the bank for the current year plus
     retained  net income for the  preceding  two years,  except  with the prior
     written  approval  of the Office of the  Comptroller  of the  Currency.  At
     December 31, 1996,  approximately  $1,774,000  of retained  earnings of the
     Bank was  available  for dividend  declarations  without  prior  regulatory
     approval.  The  Federal  Reserve  Board has  issued a  statement  effective
     November 14, 1985 which indicates that dividends should only be paid out of
     net income available to common shareholders over the past year. At December
     31, 1996,  approximately  $660,000 of retained  earnings of the Company was
     available  for dividend  declaration  without  prior  regulatory  approval.
     Restrictions are also imposed upon the ability of the Bank to make loans to
     the Company,  purchase stock in the Company or use the Company's securities
     as  collateral  for  indebtedness  of the Bank.  At December 31, 1996,  the
     Company and the Bank were in compliance with regulatory requirements.


13.  Parent Company Information
     On  April  1,  1982,  the  Company  acquired,  through  merger,  all of the
     outstanding  shares of the Bank,  becoming the parent and sole stockholder.
     The  earnings  (losses) of the Bank are  recorded by the Company  using the
     equity method of accounting.  Earnings (losses) are recorded as an increase
     (decrease) in the Company's investment,  and dividends declared by the Bank
     are recorded as reductions in the Company's investment in the Bank.

14.  Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act
     Regulations  implementing the prompt  corrective  action  provisions of the
     Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation  Improvement  Act of 1991 (FDICIA)
     became  effective on December 19, 1992.  FDICIA  requires the regulators to
     stratify  institutions  into five quality tiers based upon their respective
     capital  strengths and to increase  progressively  the degree of regulation
     over the weaker  institutions,  limits the pass-through  deposit  insurance
     treatment  of  certain  types of  accounts,  adopts a  "Truth  in  Savings"
     program, calls for the adoption of risk-based premiums on deposit insurance
     and requires  banks to observe  insider credit  underwriting  procedures no
     less strict than those applied to comparable noninsider transactions.

     The prompt corrective action regulations define specific capital categories
     based on an  institution's  capital  ratios.  The  capital  categories,  in
     declining  order,   are   "well-capitalized,"   "adequately   capitalized,"
     "undercapitalized,"   "significantly   undercapitalized"   and  "critically
     undercapitalized."  Institutions categorized as "undercapitalized" or below
     are subject to certain  restrictions,  including the  requirement to file a
     capital  plan  with its  primary  federal  regulator,  prohibitions  on the
     payment  of  dividends  and  management  fees,  restrictions  on  executive
     compensation  and  increased  supervisory  monitoring,  among other things.
     Other  restrictions may be imposed on the institution either by its primary
     federal  regulator  or  by  the  FDIC,  including   requirements  to  raise
     additional  capital,  sell assets or sell the entire  institution.  Once an
     institution becomes "critically undercapitalized" it is generally placed in
     receivership or conservatorship within 90 days.

     To be considered  "well-capitalized,"  an institution must generally have a
     leverage  ratio of at least  5%, a Tier 1  risk-based  capital  ratio of at
     least 6% and a total risk-based  capital ratio of at least 10%. At December
     31,  1996  and  1995,  both  the  Company  and  the  Bank  were  considered
     "well-capitalized."  The table below  present  the capital  position of the
     Company and

15.  Employee Benefits
     The  Company  has  adopted a  Nonqualified  Stock  Option  Plan for certain
     officers and key employees  and has reserved  90,000 shares of common stock
     for options to be granted  under the plan.  No options have been granted to
     date.

     On January 23, 1996,  the Company  adopted a nonqualified  Directors  Stock
     Option Plan (the "Directors Plan") and a qualified Employee Incentive Stock
     Option Plan  covering  key  employees  (the  "Employee  Plan"),  which were
     approved by the shareholders on October 15, 1996. Shares subject to options
     under these plans may be authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares.
     Options under the  Directors  Plan are granted at a price not less than 85%
     of the fair  market  value  of the  Company's  common  stock on the date of
     grant.  The options vest  beginning in 1996 at an annual rate of 20% at the
     end of each  year and  become  fully  vested  in the  event of a Change  in
     Control,  as  defined  in the  Directors  Plan,  or in the  event  that the
     Director leaves the Board. Options under the Employee Plan are granted at a
     price of 100% of the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the
     date of grant and are  immediately  exercisable.  Options  under both plans
     expire  not later  than ten years  after the date of grant.  Options  for a
     total of 16,416 shares of common stock  available for grant under the above
     Plans were granted in 1996 at a price of $6.74 for  directors and $7.93 for
     employees.  As of December 31, 1996, no options have been  exercised  under
     these plans.

     On November 19, 1996, the Company  adopted a nonqualified  Directors  Stock
     Option Plan (the "1996 Directors Plan") and a qualified  Employee Incentive
     Stock Option Plan covering key employees (the "1996 Employee Plan"). Shares
     subject to options under these plans may be authorized but unissued  shares
     or treasury shares.  Options under the 1996 Directors Plan are granted at a
     price not less than 85% of the fair market  value of the  Company's  common
     stock on the date of  grant.  Options  under  the  1996  Employee  Plan are
     granted at a price of 100% of the fair market value of the Company's common
     stock  on the  date of  grant.  The  options  granted  under  both the 1996
     Directors  Plan and the 1996  Employee  Plan vest  beginning  in 1997 at an
     annual rate of 33.3% at the end of each year and become fully vested in the
     event of a Change in Control, as defined in the 1996 Directors Plan and the
     1996  Employee  Plan.  Options  under both plans  expire not later than ten
     years  after the date of  grant.  Options  for a total of 22,113  shares of
     common  stock are  available  for grant  under  the  above  Plans.  Options
     totaling  20,608 were granted in 1996 at a price of $9.13 for directors and
     $10.74 for employees. No options have been exercised under these plans.

     On March 29, 1996,  the Company  granted the President and Chief  Executive
     Officer a  nonqualified  stock option to purchase  75,000 shares at a price
     equal to 85% of the fair market value of the Company's  common stock on the
     date of grant ($6.74). The option vests beginning in 1996 at an annual rate
     of 20% at the end of each year and becomes  fully  vested in the event of a
     Change in Control as  defined  in the  Agreement,  or in the event that she
     leaves the Company or the Bank.

     The Company  accounts  for its stock option plans under APB Opinion No. 25.
     In  accordance  with APB Opinion No. 25, no  compensation  expense has been
     recorded for the Employee Plan and the 1996 Employee Plan and  compensation
     expense of $19,000 in 1996 has been  recorded for the Directors  Plan,  the
     1996 Directors Plan and the options granted to the President

                                       56

     and Chief  Executive  Officer  which is an amount  equal to the  difference
     between the quoted  market  price of the stock at the date of grant and the
     amount the  employee/director is required to pay, ratably over the options'
     vesting periods.

     Had compensation cost for these plans been determined  consistent with SFAS
     No. 123 the Company's net income and earnings per share for 1996 would have
     been $1,105,000 and $.92, respectively.

     A summary of the status of the  Company's  four stock  option plans and the
     one out-of-plan  stock option grant at December 31, 1996 and changes during
     the year then ended is presented in the table and narrative below:

</TABLE>

     At December 31, 1996, options granted under the Directors Plan and the 1996
     Directors Plan and under the  Non-Qualified  Stock Option Agreement between
     the Company and the  President  and Chief  Executive  Officer have exercise
     prices between $6.74 and $9.13,  with a weighted  average exercise price of
     $6.95 and a weighted  average  remaining  contractual life of 9.1 years. Of
     these options 16,286 are exercisable. At December 31, 1996, options granted
     under the Employee Plan and the 1996  Employee  Plan have  exercise  prices
     between $7.93 and $10.74,  with a weighted  average exercise price of $9.50
     and a weighted  average  remaining  contractual life of 9.5 years. Of these
     options, 9,987 are exercisable.

     The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using
     a  Black-Scholes-based  option  pricing  model  (Noreen  Wolfson)  with the
     following weighted average  assumptions used for grants in 1996:  risk-free
     interest rate of 5.81%;  expected dividend yields of 5.04%;  expected lives
     of 10 years; and expected volatility of 50%.

     On April 16,  1996,  the  Company and the Bank  adopted an  employee  stock
     ownership plan ("ESOP") with 401(k) provisions, replacing the Bank's former
     401(k) Plan, which covered all full-time employees 21 years of age or older
     who  have  completed  one  year  of  service.  Participants  may  elect  to
     contribute  to the ESOP a portion  of their  salary,  which may not be less
     than 1% nor more than 15%, of their annual  salary (up to $9,500 for 1996).
     In addition,  the Bank may make a discretionary matching contribution equal
     to one-half of the  percentage  amount of the salary  reduction  elected by
     each  participant  (up to a  maximum  of  3%),  which  percentage  will  be
     determined  each  year  by  the  Bank,  and  an  additional   discretionary
     contribution  determined each year by the Bank. Employee  contributions and
     the  employer's  matching  contributions   immediately  vest.  The  initial
     employer's  discretionary  contribution was immediately  vested. All future
     employer's  discretionary  contributions are vested as follows: 33 and 1/3%
     for one year of  service;  66 and 2/3% for two years of  service;  100% for
     three years of service,  however,  an employee's vested percentage will not
     be less than their vested percentage under the former 401(k) Plan.

     The Company made matching contributions to the Plan of $23,000, $34,000 and
     $40,000 in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. These amounts are included in
     salaries and employee benefits in the accompanying  consolidated statements
     of  operations.  In 1996,  the  Company  made an  additional  discretionary
     contribution  of 4,681 shares of Company  stock,  at a fair market value of
     $55,000 on December 31, 1996, from the 25,000 shares  purchased by the ESOP
     to all eligible employees. This amount is included in salaries and benefits
     for 1996 in the accompanying  consolidated statements of operations.  As of
     December 31, 1996,  these 4,681 shares are committed to be released and the
     remaining  20,319  shares  are  unearned  ESOP  shares  held  in  suspense.
     Dividends paid on allocated  shares may be paid to  participants or used to
     repay the ESOP loan.  Dividends  on  unallocated  shares are expected to be
     used to repay the ESOP loan.  The  participating  employee  has certain put
     rights in the event that the  common  stock  distributed  cannot be readily
     sold. Only shares which are allocated or committed to

                                       57

<PAGE>



     be released are  considered  for purposes of computing  earnings per share.
     The fair  value  of the  unearned  ESOP  shares  at  December  31,  1996 is
     $239,000.

     The Company has engaged in  transactions in the ordinary course of business
     with some of its  directors,  officers,  principal  stockholders  and their
     associates.  Management believes that all such transactions are made on the
     same terms as those prevailing at the time with other persons.  The Company
     expensed   $5,000,   $15,000  and  $32,000  during  1996,  1995  and  1994,
     respectively,  to such related parties in connection with public  relations
     activities. The Company expensed $9,000 and $17,000 to such related parties
     for legal services during 1996 and 1995, respectively.


17.  Shareholder Rights Plan
     On April 12, 1994,  the Board of Directors of the Company  adopted a Rights
     Agreement ("Rights Agreement"),  which was amended April 20, 1995. Pursuant
     to the Rights  Agreement,  the Board of Directors of the Company declared a
     dividend of one share purchase right for each share of the Company's common
     stock  outstanding on April 25, 1994  ("Right").  Among other things,  each
     Right  entitles  the holder to purchase one share of the  Company's  common
     stock at an exercise price of $20.11.

     Subject to certain  exceptions,  the Rights will be exercisable if a person
     or group of persons  acquires  25% or more of the  Company's  common  stock
     ("Acquiring  Person"),  or announces a tender offer,  the  consummation  of
     which would  result in  ownership by a person or group of persons of 25% or
     more of the common stock, or if the Board determines that a person or group
     of persons holding 15% or more of the Company's  common stock is an Adverse
     Person, as defined in the Rights Agreement.

     Upon the occurrence of one of the triggering events, all holders of Rights,
     except  the  Acquiring  Person or  Adverse  Person,  would be  entitled  to
     purchase  the  Company's  common stock at 50% of the market  price.  If the
     Company is acquired in a merger or business  combination,  each holder of a
     Right would be entitled to purchase common stock of the Acquiring Person at
     a similar discount.

     The Board of  Directors  may redeem the Rights for $0.01 per share or amend
     the Plan at any time  before a person  becomes  an  Acquiring  Person.  The
     Rights expire on December 31, 2003.


18.  Fair Value of Financial Instruments
     During  1995,  the  Company  adopted  SFAS  No.  107,  which  requires  the
     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. Quoted market prices, when available,  are used as the
     measure  of fair  value.  In  cases  where  quoted  market  prices  are not
     available, fair

                                       58

<PAGE>



     values are based on present value estimates or other valuation  techniques.
     These derived fair values are estimates at a specific point in time and are
     significantly  affected  by  assumptions  used,  principally  the timing of
     future cash flows and the discount rate. Because assumptions are inherently
     subjective in nature,  the estimated fair values cannot be substantiated by
     comparison to independent  market quotes and, in many cases,  the estimated
     fair values  would not  necessarily  be realized  in an  immediate  sale or
     settlement of the instrument.  The disclosure  requirements of SFAS No. 107
     exclude certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments. The
     estimated fair values presented do not give effect to the values associated
     with the  Company's  banking  business,  existing  customer  relationships,
     branch network,  property or equipment.  Also, under SFAS No. 107, the fair
     value of noninterest bearing demand deposits,  savings and NOW accounts and
     money market deposit accounts is equal to the carrying amount because these
     deposits have no stated  maturity.  This approach to estimating  fair value
     excludes the  significant  benefit  that results from the low-cost  funding
     provided by such deposit liabilities, as compared to alternative sources of
     funding.  Accordingly,  the aggregate  fair value amounts  presented do not
     represent management's estimation of the underlying value of the Company.

     The  following are the  estimated  fair values of the  Company's  financial
     instruments at December 31, 1996 and 1995 followed by a general description
     of the methods and assumptions used to estimate such fair values.

</TABLE>

     The  following  methods  and  assumptions  were  used  by  the  Company  in
     estimating the fair value of its financial instruments:

          Cash and due from banks.  The carrying amounts reported in the balance
          sheet  approximate  fair value due to the short-  term nature of these
          assets.

          Short-term investments. The carrying amounts of short-term investments
          on the balance sheet with  maturities  of 90 days or less  approximate
          fair value. For short-term investments with maturities of greater than
          90 days,  fair value  estimates are based on market quotes for similar
          instruments   adjusted  for  such   differences   between  the  quoted
          instruments and the instruments being valued as to maturity and credit
          quality.

          Securities available for sale and Investment securities. The estimated
          fair values of securities  by type are based on quoted market  prices,
          when available. If a quoted market price is not available,  fair value
          is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities.

          Loans.  Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar
          financial  characteristics.  Loans are  classified  by variable  rate,
          fixed  rate and  loans  which  reprice  on a  predetermined  schedule.
          Non-variable rate loans are further

          classified by general purpose within the  commercial,  real estate and
          consumer  portfolios.  Loans are further  classified  by performing or
          nonperforming loans.

          For performing variable-rate loans which reprice immediately as market
          rates   change,   the  carrying   amounts   approximate   fair  value.
          Additionally,  most variable rate lines of credit, which comprise more
          than half of the variable loan portfolio, are reviewed and extended on
          at least an annual basis. At the time of that review,  these loans are
          repriced to reflect the current  credit risk  inherent in these loans.
          For  performing   fixed-rate  loans  and  loans  which  reprice  on  a
          pre-determined  schedule, fair values are estimated by discounting the
          expected  cash flows up to and  including  the date of  repricing,  if
          applicable,  by a discount  rate that  reflects the interest  rate and
          credit risk  inherent  in the loan.  The  estimated  maturity of these
          loans reflects both contractual  maturity and management's  assessment
          of prepayments,  economic condition, and other factors that may affect
          the maturity of the portfolio.  The discount rate is based on the rate
          that  would be  currently  offered  for loans  with  similar  terms to
          borrowers of similar credit quality.

          Nonperforming  loans  are  included  in  each of the  loan  portfolios
          previously  described.  The  fair  value  of  nonperforming  loans  is
          estimated  in a manner  which  approximates  discounting  the expected
          return of  principal  over the period of time the Company  anticipates
          receiving  principal  payments on the loan at a discount rate which is
          reflective of the higher risk  surrounding  these assets compared to a
          performing loan.

          Deposits. The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity,  such as
          noninterest-bearing  deposits, NOW accounts,  savings and money market
          deposit accounts, is the amount payable on demand as of year-end.  For
          time deposits,  fair value is estimated by discounting the contractual
          cash flows using a discount rate equal to the incremental deposit rate
          for similar remaining maturities.

          Short-term borrowings. The carrying values of federal funds purchased,
          securities  sold under  agreements to repurchase and other  short-term
          borrowings approximate fair values.

          Long-term    borrowings/debt.    The   fair   values   of    long-term
          borrowings/debt  are estimated by  discounting  the  contractual  cash
          flows for each  instrument.  The discount rate applied is based on the
          current  incremental  borrowing  rates for similar  arrangements  with
          similar maturities.

          Commitments  to extend  credit and letters of credit.  At December 31,
          1996 and  1995,  the  Company  had  commitments  to  extend  credit of
          $20,490,000  and  $15,277,000  and letters of credit of $1,806,000 and
          $706,000,  respectively.  Pricing of these  financial  instruments  is
          based on the credit quality and  relationship,  fees,  interest rates,
          probability  of  funding,  compensating  balance  and  other  covenant
          requirements.   Non-credit  card  commitments   generally  have  fixed
          expiration dates, are variable rate and contain  termination and other
          clauses  which provide for relief from funding in the event that there
          is a significant  deterioration in the credit quality of the customer.
          Many loan  commitments  are  expected  to, and  typically  do,  expire
          without being drawn upon. At December 31, 1996 and 1995, approximately
          84% and 85%, respectively, of the Company's commitments to lend expire
          within one year or are  otherwise  cancelable.  The rates and terms of
          the  Company's   commitments   to  lend  and  letters  of  credit  are
          competitive with others in the markets in which the Company  operates.
          Carrying  amounts  which are comprised of the  unamortized  fee income
          and,  where  necessary,  reserves for any expected  credit losses from
          these financial instruments, are immaterial.

                                  EXHIBIT 10.5

             1996 Employee Incentive Stock Option Plan and Agreement






<PAGE>





                      ABIGAIL ADAMS NATIONAL BANCORP, INC.
                    1996 EMPLOYEE INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION PLAN


1.   Purpose and Administration

     (a) Purpose.  The purpose of the Employee  Incentive Stock Option Plan (the
"Plan") is to give officers and executive personnel ("key employees") of Abigail
Adams National  Bancorp,  Inc. (the  "Company") and The Adams National Bank (the
"Bank") an  opportunity  to acquire  shares of the common  stock of the Company,
$.01 par value (the "Common  Stock"),  to provide an incentive for key employees
to  continue  to promote  the best  interests  of the  Company  and  enhance its
long-term performance,  and to provide an incentive for key employees to join or
remain with the Company.

     (b)  Administration.   The  Plan  shall  be  administered,   construed  and
interpreted by the Company's Board of Directors,  which, to the extent the Board
shall determine,  may delegate its powers with respect to the  administration of
the Plan (except its powers under  Section  10(c)) to a committee of two or more
non-employee  directors  whose members shall be designated  from time to time by
resolution of the Board of Directors.  The decision of a majority of the members
of the  administrative  body shall be sufficient with respect to an action to be
taken  or  interpretation  to be made  under  the  Plan.  If  administration  is
delegated to a committee,  all references herein to the Board shall be deemed to
refer to the committee.

     (c) Powers.  Within the limits of the express  provisions of the Plan,  the
Board shall  determine:  (i) the key employees to whom awards hereunder shall be
granted, (ii) the time or times at which such awards shall be granted, (iii) the
form and  amount  of the  awards,  and (iv) the  limitations,  restrictions  and
conditions applicable to any such award.





                                       1

<PAGE>



In making such determinations, the Board may take into account the nature of the
services rendered by such employees, or classes of employees,  their present and
potential  contributions to the Company's  success and such other factors as the
Board in its discretion shall deem relevant.

     (d)  Interpretations.  Subject to the express  provisions of the Plan,  the
Board may interpret the Plan, prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations
relating to it, determine the terms and provisions of the respective  awards and
make  all  other   determinations  it  deems  necessary  or  advisable  for  the
administration of the Plan.

     (e)  Determinations.  The  determinations  of  the  Board  on  all  matters
regarding  the Plan  shall be  conclusive.  A member of the Board  shall only be
liable for any action taken or determination made in bad faith.

     (f) Non-uniform Determinations.  The Board's determinations under the Plan,
including  without  limitation,  determinations  as to the  persons  to  receive
awards,  the terms and provisions of such awards and the  agreements  evidencing
the same,  need not be uniform and may be made by it  selectively  among persons
who receive or are  eligible to receive  awards  under the Plan,  whether or not
such persons are similarly situated.

2.   Awards Under the Plan

     (a)  Form.  Awards  under  the Plan may be  granted  in  either or both the
following forms:  (i) incentive stock options  ("Incentive  Stock Options"),  as
described  in Section 3, and (ii) Stock  Appreciation  Rights,  as  described in
Section 4.

     (b) Maximum  Limitation.  The  aggregate  number of shares of Common  Stock
available  for grant  under the Plan is 14,193  shares,  subject  to  adjustment
pursuant to Section 6. Shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the Plan may be
either authorized but unissued shares or shares now or




                                        2

<PAGE>



hereafter  held in the treasury of the Company.  In the event that any Incentive
Stock  Option  granted  under the Plan  expires  unexercised  or is  terminated,
surrendered or canceled  (other than in connection  with the exercise of a Stock
Appreciation  Right with  respect to which  Common Stock is delivered to the key
employee under Section 5(b)(ii)),  without being exercised, in whole or in part,
for any reason, the number of shares theretofore subject to such Incentive Stock
Option, or the unexercised,  terminated,  forfeited or unearned portion thereof,
shall be added to the remaining  number of shares of Common Stock  available for
grant as an Incentive Stock Option under the Plan, including a grant to a former
holder of such  Incentive  Stock Option,  upon such terms and  conditions as the
Board  shall  determine,  which terms may be more or less  favorable  than those
applicable to such former Incentive Stock Option.

3.   Incentive Stock Options

     It is intended that  Incentive  Stock Options  granted under the Plan shall
constitute  incentive  stock  options  within the  meaning of Section 422 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").  Incentive Stock Options
may be granted in such form and  subject  to such  terms and  conditions  as the
Board shall from time to time determine, subject to the following:

     (a) Exercise  Price.  The per share exercise price of each Incentive  Stock
Option shall be fixed by the Board in the Option Agreement (hereinafter defined)
but shall be at least 100% of the fair market value of the Common Stock  subject
to such Incentive Stock Option on the date of grant.

     (b) Terms of Options.  Each Incentive Stock Option shall become exercisable
at the time,  and for the number of shares of Common Stock,  fixed by the Option
Agreement.  Each Incentive  Stock Option shall expire and all rights to purchase
Common Stock thereunder  shall cease on the date fixed on the Option  Agreement,
which  shall  not be later  than the date  ten  (10)  years  from the date  such
Incentive  Stock Option is granted.  With  respect to an Incentive  Stock Option
granted  to an  employee  who is  subject  to  Section  16 under the  Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, a period of six months must elapse between the
date of grant of an Incentive Stock Option hereunder and the date




                                        3

<PAGE>



of disposition of the shares of Common Stock  purchased upon the exercise of the
Incentive Stock Option.

     (c) Limitation on Amounts. The aggregate fair market value (determined with
respect  to each  Incentive  Stock  Option as of the time such  Incentive  Stock
Option is granted) of the capital  stock with respect to which  Incentive  Stock
Options are exercisable for the first time by a key employee during any calendar
year  (under  this  Plan or any other  plan of the  Company)  shall  not  exceed
$100,000.

     (d) Ten Percent  Shareholder.  Notwithstanding  any other provisions herein
contained,  no key employee may receive an Incentive Stock Option under the Plan
if such key  employee,  at the time the award is  granted  owns (as  defined  in
Section 424(d) of the Code) stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined
voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, unless the option price for
such  Incentive  Stock  Option is at least 110% of the fair market  value of the
Common  Stock  subject to such  Incentive  Stock Option on the date of grant and
such  Option is not  exercisable  after the date five  years  from the date such
Option is granted.

     (e)  Exercise.  Incentive  Stock Options shall be subject to such terms and
conditions,  shall be exercisable at such time or times,  and shall be evidenced
by such form of written option  agreement  between the optionee and the Company,
as the Board shall  determine;  provided,  that such terms are not  inconsistent
with the other  provisions  of the  Plan,  and with  Section  422 of the Code or
regulations thereunder.

     (f) Manner of  Exercise  and  Payment for Common  Stock.  Any Stock  Option
granted under the Plan may be exercised by the grantee, by a legatee or legatees
of such Stock Option under the grantee's  last will or by his or her  executors,
personal representatives or distributees,  (a) by delivering to the Secretary of
the Company  written notice of the number of shares of Common Stock with respect
to which the Stock Option is being  exercised,  or (b) by delivering such notice
to a  broker-dealer  with a copy to the  Secretary  of the  Company.  Except  as
otherwise provided in the




                                        4

<PAGE>



Plan or in any  Option  Agreement,  the  purchase  price of  Common  Stock  upon
exercise  of any  Stock  Option  shall be paid in full (i) in cash or  certified
check, (ii) if the grantee may do so in conformity with Regulation T and without
violation of Section 16(b) or (c) under the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended,  pursuant  to  a  broker-dealer's  cashless  exercise  procedure,  by a
broker-dealer  to whom the grantee has  submitted a properly  executed  exercise
notice consisting of a fully endorsed Stock Option and irrevocable  instructions
to deliver to the  Company  the total  exercise  price in cash,  (iii) in Common
Stock valued at its fair market value on the date of exercise,  (iv) by agreeing
to surrender  Stock Options then  exercisable by him or her valued at the excess
of the  aggregate  fair market value of the Common  Stock  subject to such Stock
Options on the date of exercise over the aggregate option exercise price of such
Common Stock,  (v) by directing the Company to withhold such number of shares of
Common Stock  otherwise  issuable  upon  exercise of such Stock Option having an
aggregate  fair market value on the date of exercise equal to the exercise price
of the Stock Option,  or (vi) by any combination of (i), (ii),  (iii),  (iv) and
(v). In the case of payments  pursuant to (ii),  (iii),  (iv) or (v) above,  the
grantee's election must be made on or prior to the date of exercise of the Stock
Option and must be  irrevocable.  The Company  shall  issue,  in the name of the
grantee,  Stock  Certificates  representing the total number of shares of Common
Stock  issuable  pursuant  to the  exercise  of any  Stock  Option  as  soon  as
reasonably practicable after such exercise.

     (g)  Cancellation  of  Stock  Appreciation  Rights.  The  exercise  of  any
Incentive Stock Option shall cancel that number,  if any, of Stock  Appreciation
Rights (as defined in Section 4) included in such Incentive Stock Option,  which
is equal to the  excess of (i) the number of shares of Common  Stock  subject to
Stock Appreciation Rights included in such Incentive Stock, over (ii) the number
of shares of Common Stock which remain  subject to such  Incentive  Stock Option
after such exercise.

4.   Stock Appreciation Rights

     (a)  Award.  If  deemed  by the  Board to be in the best  interests  of the
Company,  any Incentive  Stock Option granted under the Plan may include a stock
appreciation right ("Stock Appreciation Right"),  either at the time of grant or
thereafter while the Incentive Stock Option is outstanding.

     (b) Terms of Rights.  Stock  Appreciation  Rights  shall be subject to such
terms and conditions not  inconsistent  with the other provisions of the Plan as
the Board shall determine, provided that:

          (i) A Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercisable to the extent, and
only to the  extent,  the  Incentive  Stock  Option in which it is  included  is
exercisable  and  shall be  exercisable  only for such  period  as the Board may
determine  (which period may expire prior to, but not later than, the expiration
date of such Incentive Stock Option).  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a
Stock  Appreciation  Right is  exercisable  only when the fair market value of a
share of Common Stock exceeds the option price specified in such Incentive Stock
Option.

          (ii)  A  Stock  Appreciation  Right  shall  entitle  the  optionee  to
surrender to the Company  unexercised  the Incentive  Stock  Option,  or portion
thereof, to which it is related, or any portion thereof, and to receive from the
Company in exchange  therefor  that number of shares of Common  Stock  having an
aggregate  fair market value equal to the excess of the fair market value on the
date of  exercise of one share of Common  Stock over the option  price per share
specified in such Incentive  Stock Option  multiplied by the number of shares of
Common Stock subject to the Incentive Stock Option, or portion thereof, which is
so  surrendered.  The Board shall be entitled to elect to settle any part or all
of the Company's  obligation arising out of the exercise of a Stock Appreciation
Right by the  payment of cash or by check  equal to the  aggregate  fair  market
value on the date on which the Stock  Appreciation  Right is  exercised  of that
part or all of the  shares  of Common  Stock  the  Company  would  otherwise  be
obligated to deliver.

     (c) Cash Settlement Restriction.  (i) Notwithstanding Section 4(b), so long
as the grantee of the Stock Appreciation Right is an officer of the Company, the
Company's right to elect to settle any part or all of its obligation arising out
of the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right by the payment of cash or by check
shall not apply,  unless such exercise  occurs no less than six months after the
date of grant of the Stock  Appreciation  Right and  either:  (a) the  automatic
exercise  provisions in paragraph (ii) below have been triggered,  or (b) during
the period  beginning on the third business day following the date of release by
the Company for  publication  of its quarterly or annual  summary  statements of
sales and earnings and ending on the twelfth business day following such date.

          (ii) in the  event  that the  Company  shall  cancel  all  unexercised
Incentive  Stock  Options  as  of  the  effective  date  of a  merger  or  other
transaction  (as described in Section 7), or in the case of  dissolution  of the
Company,  then each Stock  Appreciation  Right held by an  executive  officer or
director of the Company shall be  automatically  exercised for cash on such date
within 90 days prior to the effective date of such transaction or dissolution as
the Board shall determine and, in the absence of such determinations on the last
business day immediately prior to such effective date.

5.   Transferability

     No Incentive Stock Option or Stock  Appreciation  Right may be transferred,
assigned,  pledged or  hypothecated  (whether by operation of law or otherwise),
except as provided by will or the  applicable  laws of descent or  distribution,
and no Incentive  Stock Option or Stock  Appreciation  Right shall be subject to
execution,  attachment or similar process. Any attempted  assignment,  transfer,
pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of an Incentive Stock Option or Stock
Appreciation  Right, or levy of attachment or similar process upon the Incentive
Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right not specifically permitted herein shall
be null and  void  and  without  effect.  An  Incentive  Stock  Option  or Stock
Appreciation  Right may be exercised  only by a key  employee  during his or her
lifetime,  or pursuant to Section  9(c) by his or her estate or other person who
acquires the right to exercise such Incentive Stock Option or Stock Appreciation
Right upon his or her death by bequest or inheritance.

6.   Adjustment Provisions

     The  aggregate  number  of shares of Common  Stock  with  respect  to which
Incentive  Stock  Options  and Stock  Appreciation  Rights may be  granted,  the
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock subject to each outstanding Incentive
Stock  Option and Stock  Appreciation  Right,  and the option price per share of
each such Incentive Stock Option, may all be appropriately adjusted as the Board
may  determine  for any  increase  or decrease in the number of shares of issued
Common Stock resulting from a subdivision or  consolidation  of shares,  whether
through  reorganization,  recapitalization,  stock split,  stock distribution or
combination  of shares,  or the payment of a share dividend or other increase or
decrease in the number of such shares  outstanding  effected  without receipt of
consideration  by the  Company.  The Board  shall  make  adjustments  under this
Section  6 in its  sole  discretion,  and its  decisions  shall be  binding  and
conclusive.

7.   Dissolution, Merger and Consolidation, Change of Control

     In the event of a dissolution  or  liquidation of the Company or any merger
or  combination  in which  the  Company  is not a  surviving  corporation,  each
outstanding  Option granted  hereunder shall  terminate,  but the Optionee shall
have the right,  immediately prior to such liquidation,  dissolution,  merger or
combination,  to exercise  his Option,  in whole or in part,  to the extent that
such Option is then otherwise exercisable and has not previously been exercised.

     In the event  that:  (i) any  person (as such term is used in Section 13 of
the  Securities  and  Exchange  Act of  1934,  as  amended,  and the  rules  and
regulation  thereunder  and including any affiliate or associate of such person,
as defined in Rule 12b-2 under said Act,  and any person  acting in concert with
such person)  directly or indirectly  acquires or otherwise  becomes entitled to
vote more than eighty  percent (80%) of the voting power  entitled to be cast at
an election for directors ("Voting Power") of the Company;  or (ii) there occurs
any merger or  consolidation  of the Company,  or any sale, lease or exchange of
all or any substantial part of the consolidated assets of




                                        8

<PAGE>



the  Company  and its  subsidiary  to any other  person and (A) in the case of a
merger  or  consolidation,  the  holders  of  outstanding  stock of the  Company
entitled to vote in  elections of  directors  immediately  before such merger or
consolidation (excluding for this purpose any person, including any affiliate or
associate that directly or indirectly owns or is entitled to vote twenty percent
(20%) or more of the Voting Power of the Company) hold less than eighty  percent
(80%) of the Voting Power of the survivor of such merger or consolidation or its
parent; or (B) in the case of any such sale, lease or exchange, the Company does
not own at least eighty  percent  (80%) of the Voting Power of the other person;
or (iii) one or more new  directors  of the Company are elected and at such time
five or more directors  (or, if less, a majority of the directors)  then holding
office were not  nominated as  candidates by majority of the directors in office
immediately before such election, then the Option will be deemed to apply to the
securities  to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock subject to
the  unexercised  portion of the Stock  Option  would be  entitled  if he or she
actually owned such shares  immediately  prior to the record date or other times
any such event became  effective.  Outstanding  and  unexercised  Stock  Options
previously granted shall immediately become fully vested and exercisable.

8.   Shareholder Approval, Effective Date and Conditions Subsequent to Effective
     Date

     The Plan shall become  effective on the date of the approval of the Plan by
the Board of Directors of the Company;  provided,  however, that the adoption of
the Plan is subject to shareholder  approval within twelve (12) months after the
date of adoption  of the Plan by the Board.  The Plan shall be null and void and
of no effect if the foregoing condition is not fulfilled, and in such event each
Incentive Stock Option or Stock  Appreciation Right granted under the Plan shall
be null and void and of no effect.

     No grant or award shall be made under the Plan more than ten years from the
earlier  of the  date of  adoption  of the  Plan by the  Board  and  shareholder
approval  thereof;  provided,  however,  that the Plan and all  Incentive  Stock
Options and Stock Appreciation  Rights granted under the Plan prior to such date
shall  remain in effect and subject to  adjustment  and  amendment  as described
herein until they have been




                                        9

<PAGE>



satisfied or terminated in accordance with the terms of the respective grants or
awards and the related agreements.

9.   Termination of Employment

     (a) Each Incentive Stock Option and Stock Appreciation Right shall,  unless
sooner terminated as described in Section 9(b) or (c) below, expire on the first
to occur of the tenth anniversary of the date of grant thereof or the expiration
date set forth in the applicable option agreement.

     (b) The nonvested  portion (if any) of an Incentive  Stock Option and Stock
Appreciation  Right shall expire on the first to occur of the  applicable  dates
set forth in paragraph (a) of this Section 9 and the date that the employment of
the key employee with the Company  terminates for any reason other than death or
disability.  Notwithstanding  the preceding  provisions of this  paragraph,  the
Board, in its sole  discretion,  may, by written notice given to an ex-employee,
permit the ex-employee to exercise Incentive Stock Options or Stock Appreciation
Rights during a period  following his or her  termination of  employment,  which
period shall not exceed three months. In no event, however, may the Board permit
an ex-employee to exercise an Incentive Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right
after the expiration  date contained in the agreement  evidencing such Incentive
Stock  Option  or  Stock  Appreciation  Right.   Notwithstanding  the  preceding
provision of this  paragraph,  if the Board permits an  ex-employee  to exercise
Incentive Stock Options or Stock  Appreciation  Rights during a period following
his or her termination of employment pursuant to such preceding provisions, such
Incentive  Stock  Options  or Stock  Appreciation  Rights  shall,  to the extent
unexercised, expire on the date that such ex-employee violates (as determined by
the Board) any  covenant  not to compete in effect  between  the Company and the
ex-employee.

     (c) If the  employment  of a key employee  with the Company  terminates  by
reason of disability (as defined in Section  422(c)(9) of the Code as determined
by the Board) or by reason of death,  his or her  Incentive  Stock  Options  and
Stock Appreciation Rights, if any, shall expire on the first




                                       10

<PAGE>



to occur of the date set forth in paragraph  (a) of this Section 9 and the first
anniversary of such termination of employment.

10.  Miscellaneous

     (a) Legal and Other Requirements. The obligation of the Company to sell and
deliver  Common  Stock under the Plan shall be subject to all  applicable  laws,
regulations,  rules and approvals,  including, but not by way of limitation, the
effectiveness  of a registration  statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended,  if deemed  necessary or appropriate by the Company.  Certificates  for
shares of Common  Stock issued under the Plan may be legended as the Board shall
deem appropriate.

     (b) No Obligation to Exercise  Options.  The granting of an Incentive Stock
Option shall impose no obligation  upon an optionee to exercise  such  Incentive
Stock Option.

     (c) Termination and Amendment of Plan. The Board, without further action on
the part of the shareholders of the Company,  may from time to time alter, amend
or suspend the Plan or any Incentive  Stock Option or Stock  Appreciation  Right
granted  thereunder or may at any time  terminate  the Plan,  except that it may
not,  without the  approval of the  shareholders  of the Company  (except to the
extent described in Section 6 hereof):  (i) materially increase the total number
of shares of Common Stock  available for grant under the Plan;  (ii)  materially
modify the class of eligible  employees under the Plan; or (iii) effect a change
relating to Incentive Stock Options granted hereunder which is inconsistent with
Section 422 of the Code or regulations issued thereunder.

     No action taken by the Board under this Section, either with or without the
approval of the shareholders of the Company, may materially and adversely affect
any outstanding  Incentive Stock Option or Stock  Appreciation Right without the
consent of the holder hereof.





                                       11

<PAGE>



     (d)  Application  of Funds.  The proceeds  received by the Company from the
sale of Common  Stock  pursuant  to  Incentive  Stock  Options  will be used for
general corporate purposes.

     (e)  Withholding  Taxes.  Whenever  the Company  proposes or is required to
issue or  transfer  shares of Common  Stock to an optionee  under the Plan,  the
Company  shall have the right to require the optionee to remit to the Company an
amount  sufficient  to satisfy  all  federal,  state and local  withholding  tax
requirements  prior to the delivery of any certificate or certificates  for such
shares. If such certificates have been delivered prior to the time a withholding
obligation  arises,  the Company shall have the right to require the optionee to
remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy all federal, state or local
withholding tax requirements at the time such obligation  arises and to withhold
from other amounts payable to the optionee,  as  compensation  or otherwise,  as
necessary.  In lieu of requiring an optionee to make a payment to the Company in
an amount related to the  withholding tax  requirement,  the Company may, in its
discretion,  provide  that  at the  optionee's  election,  the  tax  withholding
obligation  shall be satisfied  by the  Company's  withholding  a portion of the
shares  otherwise  distributable  to the  optionee,  such shares being valued at
their fair market value at the date of exercise, or by the optionee's delivering
to the Company a portion of the shares previously delivered by the Company, such
shares  being  valued at their fair  market  value as of the date of delivery of
such shares by the optionee to the Company.

     An election  pursuant  to the  preceding  sentence  must be made in writing
either (i) during the period  beginning on the third  business day following the
date of release of a quarterly  or annual  summary of earnings and ending on the
12th business day  following  such day, or (ii) at least six months prior to the
date the income is realized.

     (f) Right to  Terminate  Employment.  Nothing in the Plan or any  agreement
entered  into  pursuant  to the  Plan  confers  upon any key  employee  or other
optionee  the right to continue in the  employment  of the Company or affect any
right  which  the  Company  may have to  terminate  the  employment  of such key
employee or other optionee.




                                       12

<PAGE>



     (g)  Rights  as a  Shareholder.  No  optionee  shall  have  any  right as a
shareholder  unless and until certificates for shares of Common Stock are issued
to him or her.

     (h) Leaves of Absence and  Disability.  The Board shall be entitled to make
such rules,  regulations and  determinations  as it deems  appropriate under the
Plan in  respect  of any  leave of  absence  taken by or  disability  of any key
employee.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,  the Board shall be
entitled  to  determine  (i)  whether  or not any such  leave of  absence  shall
constitute a termination of employment  within the meaning of the Plan, and (ii)
the  impact,  if any of any such  leave of  absence  on  awards  under  the Plan
theretofore made to any key employee who takes such leave of absence.

     (i) Fair Market Value. Whenever the fair market value of Common Stock is to
be  determined  under the Plan as of a given date,  such fair market value shall
be: (i) if the Common Stock is actively traded on the  over-the-counter  market,
the average of the bid and the asked price for the Common  Stock at the close of
trading for the ten consecutive  trading days  immediately  preceding such given
date; (ii) if the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange,  the
average of the closing  prices of the Common Stock on the Composite Tape for the
10 consecutive trading days immediately  preceding such given date; and (iii) if
the Common Stock is neither actively traded on the  over-the-counter  market nor
listed on a national  securities  exchange,  such  value as the  Board,  in good
faith, shall determine.

     Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, no determination
made with  respect  to the fair  market  value of  Common  Stock  subject  to an
Incentive  Stock  Option shall be  inconsistent  with Section 422 of the Code or
regulations thereunder.

     (j) Notices.  Every direction,  revocation or notice authorized or required
by the Plan  shall be deemed  delivered  to the  Company:  (i) on the date it is
personally  delivered to the Secretary of the Company at its principal executive
offices, or (ii) three business days after it is sent by registered or certified
mail, postage prepaid,  addressed to the Secretary at such offices, and shall be
deemed delivered




                                       13

<PAGE>


to an optionee (x) on the date it is personally  delivered to him or her, or (y)
three  business days after it is sent by registered or certified  mail,  postage
prepaid, addressed to him or her at the last address shown for him or her on the
records of the Company.

     (k) Applicable Law. All questions pertaining to the validity,  construction
and   administration  of  the  Plan,  and  Incentive  Stock  Options  and  Stock
Appreciation  Rights  granted  under the Plan shall be  determined in conformity
with the laws of Delaware,  to the extent not  inconsistent  with Section 422 of
the Code and regulations thereunder.

     (l)  Elimination of Fractional  Shares.  If under any provision of the Plan
which  requires a computation of the number of shares of Common Stock subject to
an Incentive Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right, the number so computed is
not a whole  number of shares of Common  Stock,  such number of shares of Common
Stock shall be rounded down to the next whole number.

              Number of Shares
              Subject to Option:                          shares
              Option Price per Share:                     $ 10.74
              Date of Grant:                     November 19, 1996

                              beginning  on  December  31,  1997 and  ending  on
                              December  31,  1999.  However,  in the  event of a
                              Change in  Control  (as  defined  in the  Employee
                              Incentive Stock Option Plan),  all options granted
                              shall become immediately vested.

               Commencement   Date:  Vested options may be exercised at any time
                              prior to the expiration date.

2.   The exercise of the Option is  conditioned  upon the acceptance by Optionee
     of the terms hereof as evidenced by her/his  execution of this agreement in
     the space provided therefor at the end hereof and the return of an executed
     copy to the Secretary of the Company.

     If Optionee's  employment  with the Company is  terminated  for any reason,
     other than for death or disability,  the nonvested  portion (if any) of the
     Option shall expire on the date of termination  of  employment.  The vested
     portion of the  Options  shall  expire  three (3)  months  from the date of
     termination of  employment.  If Optionee's  employment  with the Company is
     terminated due to her/his  disability or death,  the Option shall expire on
     the earlier of the first  anniversary of such termination of employment and
     the date the Option  expires in  accordance  with its  terms.  During  such
     periods the Option may be  exercised  by Optionee  with respect to the same
     number  of  shares of Common  Stock,  in the same  manner,  and to the same
     extent as if Optionee had  continued in  employment  during such period and
     the Option shall be canceled with respect to all remaining shares of Common
     Stock;  provided  that in the event  Optionee  shall die at a time when the
     Option, or a portion thereof,  is exercisable by her/him,  the Option shall
     be exercisable  in whole or in part during the applicable  period set forth
     herein by a legatee or legatees of the Option under  Optionee's will, or by
     her/his executors personal representatives or distributees, with respect to
     the number of shares of Common Stock which  Optionee  could have  purchased
     hereunder  on the date of her/his  death and the Option  shall be  canceled
     with respect to all remaining shares of Common Stock.

     Written  notice of an  election  to  exercise  any  portion of the  Option,
     specifying the portion thereof being exercised and the exercise date, shall
     be given by Optionee,  or her/his personal  representative  in the event of
     Optionee's death, (I) by delivering such notice at the principal  executive
     offices of the Company no later than the exercise  date, or (ii) by mailing
     such notice, postage prepaid,  addressed to the Secretary of the Company at
     the principal executive offices of the Company at least three business days

     pledged or hypothecated for any purpose  whatsoever and is not subject,  in
     whole or in  part,  to  execution,  attachment,  or  similar  process.  Any
     attempted   assignment,   transfer,   pledge  or   hypothecation  or  other
     disposition  of the  Option,  other than in  accordance  with the terms set
     forth herein, shall be void and of no effect.

4.   Neither Optionee nor any other person entitled to exercise the Option under
     the terms  hereof shall be, or have any of the rights or  privileges  of, a
     shareholder  of the Company in respect of any of the shares of Common Stock
     issuable on exercise of the Option, unless and until the purchase price for
     such shares shall have been paid in full.

     be  surrendered  to the Company for  cancellation.  In the event the Option
     shall be exercised in part, or a change in the number or designation of the
     Common Stock shall be made,  this agreement  shall be delivered by Optionee
     to the Company for the purpose of making appropriate  notation thereon,  or
     of otherwise reflecting, in such manner as the Company shall determine, the
     partial  exercise or the change in the number or  designation of the Common
     Stock.

6.   The  Option  shall be  exercised  in  accordance  with such  administrative
     regulations  as the  Committee  shall from time to time adopt to the extent
     not  inconsistent  with  Section  422 of the  Code and  regulations  issued
     thereunder.

7.   The Option and this agreement shall be construed, administered and governed
     in all  respects  under  and by the  laws of  Delaware  to the  extent  not
     inconsistent   with  Section  422  of  the  Code  and  regulations   issued
     thereunder.

1.   Purpose and Administration

     (a) Purpose. The purpose of the Directors Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") is

     (b)  Administration.   The  Plan  shall  be  administered,   construed  and

the period during which Stock  Options may be granted under the Plan,  any Stock
Option under the Plan  expires  unexercised  or is  terminated,  surrendered  or
canceled  without  being  exercised,  in whole or in part,  for any reason,  the
number of shares  theretofore  subject to such Stock Option or the  unexercised,
terminated,  forfeited  or  unearned  portion  thereof,  shall  be  added to the
remaining number of shares of Common Stock available for grant as a Stock Option
under the Plan,  including a grant to a former holder of such Stock Option, upon
such terms and  conditions  as the Board may  determine in  accordance  with the

with  respect to which Stock  Options may be granted,  the  aggregate  number of
shares of  Common  Stock  subject  to each  outstanding  Stock  Option,  and the
exercise  price per share of each such Stock  Option,  may all be  appropriately
adjusted as the Board may  determine  for any increase or decrease in the number
of shares of issued Common Stock  resulting from a subdivision or  consolidation
of shares, whether through reorganization,  recapitalization, stock split, stock
distribution  or  combination  of shares,  or the payment of a share dividend or
other  increase or decrease  in the number of such shares  outstanding  effected
without receipt of consideration by the Company.  Adjustments under this Section
2(c) shall be made by the Board of Directors or the applicable committee thereof
in its sole discretion, and its decisions shall be binding and conclusive.

     Stock  Options  shall be  granted  in such  form and upon  such  terms  and
conditions,  and shall be  evidenced  by such form of written  option  agreement

determine, as follows:

conditions,  and  shall be  exercisable  at such  time or times set forth in the
Option Agreement.

<PAGE>



     (b) Exercise Price. The per share exercise price of each Stock Option shall
be fixed by the Board of  Directors  in the Option  Agreement,  but shall not be
less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the fair market value of the Common Stock
subject to such Stock Option on the date of grant.

     (c) Term Of Stock  Options.  Each Stock Option shall become  exercisable at
the time,  and for the  number of shares of Common  Stock,  fixed by the  Option
Agreement,  provided,  however,  that a period of six months must elapse between
the date of grant of a Stock Option hereunder and the date of the disposition of
the shares of Common Stock  purchased  upon exercise of the Stock  Option.  Each
Stock  Option shall  expire and all rights to purchase  Common Stock  thereunder
shall cease on the date fixed on the Option Agreement,  which shall not be later
than the date ten (10) years from the date such Stock Option is granted.

     (d) Manner of  Exercise  and  Payment for Common  Stock.  Any Stock  Option
granted under the Plan may be exercised by the grantee, by a legatee or legatees
of such Stock Option under the grantee's  last will or by his or her  executors,
personal representatives or distributees,  (a) by delivering to the Secretary of
the Company  written notice of the number of shares of Common Stock with respect
to which the Stock Option is being  exercised,  or (b) by delivering such notice
to a  broker-dealer  with a copy to the  Secretary  of the  Company.  Except  as
otherwise provided in the Plan or in any Option Agreement, the purchase price of
Common Stock upon exercise of any Stock Option shall be paid in full (i) in cash
or certified check,  (ii) if the grantee may do so in conformity with Regulation
T and without  violation of Section 16(b) or (c) under the  Securities  Exchange
Act of  1934,  as  amended,  pursuant  to a  broker-dealer's  cashless  exercise
procedure,  by a  broker-dealer  to whom the  grantee  has  submitted a properly
executed  exercise  notice  consisting  of a fully  endorsed  Stock  Option  and
irrevocable  instructions  to deliver to the Company the total exercise price in
cash,  (iii) in  Common  Stock  valued at its fair  market  value on the date of
exercise, (iv) by agreeing to surrender Stock Options then exercisable by him




                                        3

<PAGE>



or her valued at the excess of the  aggregate  fair  market  value of the Common
Stock  subject to such Stock  Options on the date of exercise over the aggregate
option  exercise  price of such Common  Stock,  (v) by directing  the Company to
withhold such number of shares of Common Stock otherwise  issuable upon exercise
of such  Stock  Option  having an  aggregate  fair  market  value on the date of
exercise  equal  to the  exercise  price  of the  Stock  Option,  or (vi) by any
combination of (i), (ii),  (iii), (iv) and (v). In the case of payments pursuant
to (ii),  (iii),  (iv) or (v) above,  the grantee's  election must be made on or
prior to the date of exercise of the Stock Option and must be  irrevocable.  The
Company shall issue, in the name of the grantee, Stock Certificates representing
the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable  pursuant to the exercise of
any Stock Option as soon as reasonably practicable after such exercise.

     (e)  Withholding.  Whenever the Company proposes or is required to issue or
transfer  shares of Common Stock to a Director under the Plan, the Company shall
have the  right to  require  the  Director  to remit to the  Company  an  amount
sufficient to satisfy all federal,  state and local withholding tax requirements
prior to the delivery of any  certificate or  certificates  for such shares.  If
such certificates have been delivered prior to the time a withholding obligation
arises, the Company shall have the right to require the Director to remit to the
Company an amount sufficient to satisfy all federal,  state or local withholding
tax  requirements at the time such obligation  arises and to withhold from other
amounts payable to the Director, as compensation or otherwise,  as necessary. In
lieu of  requiring  a  Director  to make a payment  to the  Company in an amount
related to the withholding tax requirement,  the Company may, in its discretion,
provide that at the Director's election, the tax withholding obligation shall be
satisfied  by the  Company's  withholding  a  portion  of the  shares  otherwise
distributable  to the  Director,  such shares  being valued at their fair market
value at the date of exercise,  or by the Director's delivering to the Company a
portion of the shares  previously  delivered by the  Company,  such shares being
valued at their fair  market  value as of the date of delivery of such shares by
the Director to the Company.

     Notwithstanding  any  provision  of the Plan to the  contrary,  an election
pursuant to the preceding sentence must be made in writing either (A) during the
period beginning on the third

                                        4

<PAGE>



business day following  the date of release of a quarterly or annual  summary of
earnings and ending on the 12th business day following such day, or (B) at least
six months prior to the date the income is realized.

4.   Transferability

     No Stock  Option may be  transferred,  assigned,  pledged  or  hypothecated
(whether by  operation of law or  otherwise),  except as provided by will or the
applicable laws of descent or distribution, and no Stock Option shall be subject
to execution, attachment or similar process. Any attempted assignment, transfer,
pledge,  hypothecation  or  other  disposition  of a  Stock  Option,  or levy or
attachment  similar  process  upon the Stock Option not  specifically  permitted
herein  shall be null  and  void  and  without  effect.  A Stock  Option  may be
exercised only by a Director during his or her lifetime,  or pursuant to Section
7(b), by his or her estate or the person who acquires the right to exercise such
Stock Option upon his or her death by bequest or inheritance.

5.   Dissolution, Merger and Consolidation

     In the event of a dissolution  or  liquidation of the Company or any merger
or  combination  in which  the  Company  is not a  surviving  corporation,  each
outstanding  Option granted  hereunder shall  terminate,  but the Optionee shall
have the right,  immediately prior to such liquidation,  dissolution,  merger or
combination,  to exercise  his Option,  in whole or in part,  to the extent that
such Option is then otherwise exercisable and has not previously been exercised.

6.   Effective Date And Conditions Subsequent To Effective Date

     (a) The Plan shall become effective on the date of the approval of the Plan
by the Board of Directors  of the  Company,  but the Plan shall be null and void
and of no effect if the Plan is not

<PAGE>



ratified by the Company's  stockholders at the annual meeting  subsequent to the
Board's  approval of the Plan, and in such event each Stock Option granted under
the Plan shall be null and void and of no effect.

     (b) No grant or award shall be made under the Plan more than ten (10) years
from the date of adoption of the Plan by the Board, provided,  however, that the
Plan and all  Stock  Options  granted  under the Plan  prior to such date  shall
remain in effect and subject to  adjustment  and  amendment  as herein  provided
until they have been satisfied or terminated in accordance with the terms of the
respective grants or awards and the related Option Agreements.

7.   Termination Of Directorship

all subsidiaries terminates by reason of disability (as determined by the Board)

occur of the expiration date set forth in the applicable Option Agreement or the
second anniversary of such termination of service.

8.   Change In Control

the  Securities  and  Exchange  Act of  1934,  as  amended,  and the  rules  and
regulation  thereunder  and including any affiliate or associate of such person,
as defined in Rule 12b-2 under said Act,  and any person  acting in concert with

an election for directors ("Voting Power") of the Company;  or (ii) there occurs
any merger or consolidation of the

                                        6

<PAGE>



Company,  or any sale,  lease or exchange of all or any substantial  part of the
consolidated  assets of the Company and its  subsidiary  to any other person and
(A) in the case of a merger or  consolidation,  the holders of outstanding stock
of the Company  entitled to vote in elections of  directors  immediately  before
such merger or consolidation  (excluding for this purpose any person,  including
any affiliate or associate  that  directly or indirectly  owns or is entitled to
vote twenty  percent (20%) or more of the Voting Power of the Company) hold less
than eighty  percent (80%) of the Voting Power of the survivor of such merger or
consolidation  or its  parent;  or (B) in the  case of any such  sale,  lease or
exchange,  the Company does not own at least eighty  percent (80%) of the Voting

elected and at such time five or more  directors (or, if less, a majority of the
directors)  then holding  office were not nominated as candidates by majority of
the directors in office immediately  before such election,  then the Option will
be deemed to apply to the  securities  to which a holder of the number of shares
of Common Stock subject to the unexercised  portion of the Stock Option would be
entitled if he or she actually owned such shares immediately prior to the record
date or other times any such event became effective. Outstanding and unexercised
Stock  Options  previously  granted  shall  immediately  become fully vested and
exercisable.

9.   Miscellaneous

     (a) No Obligation To Exercise Options. The granting of a Stock Option shall
impose no obligation upon a Director to exercise such Stock Option.

or suspend the Plan or any Stock  Option  granted  hereunder  or may at any time
terminate the Plan, except that, unless approved by the shareholders, it may not
(except to the extent provided in Section 2(c) hereof)  materially  increase the
total number of shares of Common Stock  available  for grant under the Plan.  No
action




                                        7

outstanding Stock Option without the consent of the holder thereof.

     (c)  Application  Of Funds.  The proceeds  received by the Company from the
sale of  Common  Stock  pursuant  to  Stock  Options  will be used  for  general
corporate purposes.

     (d) Right To Terminate  Directorship.  Nothing in the Plan or any agreement
entered  into  pursuant to the plan shall  confer upon any Director the right to
continue on the Board of  Directors of the Company or any  Subsidiary  or affect
any right which the Company or any  Subsidiary  may have to terminate  the board
service of such Director.

     (e) Rights As A Shareholder. No Director shall have any right or privileges
as a shareholder  unless and until  certificates  for shares of Common Stock are

market nor listed on a national securities exchange, such value as the Board, in
good faith shall determine.

by the Plan  shall be  deemed  delivered  to the  Company  (a) on the date it is
personally  delivered to the Secretary of the Company at its principal executive

deliver  Common  Stock under the Plan shall be subject to all  applicable  laws,
regulations,  rules and approvals,  including, but not by way of limitation, the

                                      LEASE


     THIS  LEASE,  dated  as of the 8th day of  January,  1997,  by and  between
RIVERDALE  INTERNATIONAL,  INC.,  a  Maryland  corporation  (hereinafter  called
"Lessor")  and  ADAMS  NATIONAL   BANK,  a  District  of  Columbia   corporation
(hereinafter called "Lessee"), provides:

                               W I T N E S E T H:

                                       I.

                        Description of Demised Premises.

     A. Lessor  hereby  leases to Lessee,  and Lessee  hereby hires from Lessor,
those certain premises (hereafter called the "Demised  Premises")  consisting of
approximately  1,583  square  feet of  retail  space on the  first  floor of the
building  located  at 802  Seventh  Street,  N.W.,  Washington,  D.C.,  and more
particularly  described  on Exhibit  "A" (which is  attached  hereto and by this
reference  made a part hereof and  incorporated  herein)  for a term  (hereafter
called the "Initial  Term") of ten (10) years,  commencing  at 12:01 a.m. on the
date  Lessor  delivers  possession  of  the  Demised  Premises  to  Lessee  (the
"Commencement Date") and ending at 12:00 a.m. on the date that is ten (10) years
from the  Commencement  Date,  subject  to and in  accordance  with  the  terms,
provisions,  covenants and conditions contained herein. Lessor shall deliver the
Demised  Premises to Lessee after  substantial  completion  of Lessor's Work (as
hereinafter  defined).  Lessor and Lessee shall designate the exact Commencement
Date by executing a Lease Commencement  Agreement in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit "B" after performing a walk-through of the Demised Premises.

     B.  Provided no event of default by Lessee shall have  occurred at the time
of the  exercise  of the option  granted  herein or at the  commencement  of the
Extended Term (as hereinafter  defined),  Lessee shall have the option to extend
the Term of the Lease for two (2) additional periods of five (5) years (each, an
"Extended  Term") upon all of the same terms,  covenants and  conditions in this
Lease,  except that each  Extended Term shall  terminate on the day  immediately
preceding the fifth anniversary  thereof,  unless sooner terminated  pursuant to
the  terms  hereof.  (The  Initial  Term and the  Extended  Terms,  if any,  are
sometimes  hereinafter  referred  to  collectively  as the  "Term".) In order to
exercise its right to extend the Lease for an Extended Term,  Lessee must notify
Lessor in writing of Lessee's  election to so extend the Lease not earlier  than
160 days and no later than 120 days prior to the  expiration of the Initial Term
of this  Lease.  Failure to give such notice  within the time  period  specified
herein shall terminate Lessee's option to extend as specified herein.

                                       II.

                                      Rent.

     A. Lessee shall pay to Lessor, without notice, demand, offset or reduction,
rent (the "Rent"), commencing on November 1, 1997 (the "Rent Commencement Date")
and continuing on the first (1st) day of each and every month thereafter  during
the Term, in the following amounts:


Lease         Annual Rent                                    Monthly
Year          Per Square Foot         Annual Rent            Installments

1             $32.00                  $50,656.00             $4,221.00

2             $33.00                  $52,239.00             $4,353.00

3             $34.00                  $53,822.00             $4,485.00

4-7           $35.25                  $55,801.00             $4,650.00

8-10          $39.50                  $62,529.00             $5,211.00

11-15         $45.50                  $72,027.00             $6,002.00

16-20         $52.35                  $82,870.00             $6,906.00




The Rent  shall be paid at the  offices of  Lessor,  or to such other  person or
entity or at such  other  place or address  as Lessor  may  hereafter  direct in
writing.  If the  Commencement  Date is not on the first (1st) day of a month, a
prorated  monthly  installment of the Rent shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor for
the  period of time from the  Commencement  Date up to (but not  including)  the
first (1st) day of the next succeeding month, and, thereafter, the Rent shall be
paid on the first (1st) day of each and every month. Lessee shall neither occupy
the Demised  Premises  prior to the  Commencement  Date,  nor place any property
whatsoever in or on the Demised Premises prior to the Commencement Date, without
the prior written  consent of Lessor.  If Lessee is unable to occupy the Demised
Premises or commence work on the Initial  Improvements on the Commencement  Date
because a previous  tenant,  sub-tenant or occupant of the Demised  Premises has
held over without Lessor's consent, or because of any cause or reason beyond the
direct control of Lessor or Lessor's contractor, such delay shall not constitute
a  default  on the part of  Lessor,  nor  shall  such  delay  entitle  Lessee to
terminate  or cancel this Lease,  and Lessor shall not be liable for any damages
Lessee may incur as a result


                                       -2-


<PAGE>



of its  inability  to occupy the  Demised  Premises  on the  Commencement  Date;
provided, however, that in the event of such a delay, the Rent Commencement Date
shall be delayed  for a period of time equal to the period of time  between  the
Commencement  Date and the date on which  the  Demised  Premises  are  ready for
occupancy.

     B. If Lessor does not receive from Lessee each monthly  rental payment when
it is due, Lessor,  at its option,  may charge Lessee a late charge equal to ten
percent (10%) of the monthly rental payment  (together with any additional  rent
as hereinafter  provided) as additional  rent, and such late charge shall be due
and payable by Lessee to Lessor  immediately upon notice to Lessee. In addition,
if a check of Lessee's is returned to Lessor unpaid for any reason,  Lessor,  at
its  option,  may  thereafter  require  that  Lessee  pay the Rent and any other
charges  payable  hereunder by a certified or cashier's check drawn on a bank in
the metropolitan Washington area.

                                      III.

                            Use of Demised Premises.

     Lessee shall use the Demised  Premises  only for the purpose of operating a
retail banking branch of Adams National  Bank.  Lessee  acknowledges  and agrees
that Lessor has made no express or implied warranty, representation, undertaking
or agreement  regarding the condition of the Demised  Premises or the ability of
Lessee  to  use  the  Demised  Premises  in  the  manner  or  for  the  purposes
contemplated by Lessee.  Lessee may not use the Demised Premises for any purpose
other than that stated in this Article III without the prior written  consent of
Lessor.

                                       IV.

                               Access to Premises.

     Lessor  covenants  and  agrees  that  Lessee  and  its  agents,  employees,
contractors,  invitees and licensees  shall have the right of ingress and egress
to the Demised  Premises  through all common or public  areas of the building in
which the Demised Premises are located  (including but not limited to all public
entrances, lobbies, elevators and corridors) during normal business hours (which
are hereby deemed to be daily from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.,  and  Saturdays  from
8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.) and at such other times as may be  established by Lessor
in accordance  with  appropriate  rules and  regulations (or otherwise as agreed
upon by Lessor and  Lessee).  Lessor  and its  agents,  employees,  contractors,
invitees and licensees  shall have access to the Demised  Premises during normal
business hours; provided that


                                       -3-


<PAGE>



Lessor and its agents,  employees,  contractors,  invitees and licensees  shall,
give 24 hours prior notice to Lessee and be  accompanied by an officer of Lessee
on the Demised Premises.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,  Lessor and its agents,
employees,  contractors, invitees and licensees shall have access to the Demised
Premises at all times for emergency or security  purposes.  Lessee shall provide
Lessor with a list of contact  persons for emergency and security access and, if
practical under the  circumstances,  Lessor will attempt to contact such contact
persons  prior to  entering  the  Demised  Premises  for  emergency  or security
purposes.

                                       V.

             Maintenance and Repairs; Lessee's Obligation to Notify.

     Lessor shall keep the Demised Premises in reasonably good working order and
condition  and shall make all repairs and  replacements  not  occasioned  by the
negligent or willful act of Lessee, its agents, employees, contractors, invitees
or licensees. Lessee shall notify Lessor immediately by telephone and as soon as
possible  in writing of any  repairs or  replacements  which,  in the opinion of
Lessee,  need to be made to the  Demised  Premises  and of any  loss,  damage or
casualty to the Demised Premises.

                                       VI.

                                     Taxes.

     A. Lessor shall pay all taxes assessed  against the real estate  (hereafter
called the "Real Estate Taxes") on which the Demised  Premises are located on or
before the date on which such taxes become due and payable.

     B.  Lessee  shall pay all taxes,  charges and levies  assessed  against the
personal  property  and fixtures  owned by Lessee and placed,  stored or used by
Lessee in conjunction with the Demised Premises. Lessee shall pay, as additional
rent,  any ad valorem,  license or other tax imposed upon Lessor by reason of or
with  respect  to this  Lease or the Rent,  and such  additional  rent  shall be
payable within thirty (30) days after Lessor notifies Lessee that such amount is
due and payable.

     C.  Either  Lessor  or  Lessee  may  challenge  the  amount,   validity  or
applicability  of any tax, fee,  charge or obligation,  and the  non-challenging
party shall render all necessary and  reasonable  assistance to the  challenging
party in the  prosecution of such  challenge.  Notwithstanding  such  challenge,
Lessor or Lessee, as applicable, shall pay all taxes, fees, charges and


                                       -4-


<PAGE>



obligations  (including any tax, fee, charge or obligation the amount,  validity
or  applicability  of which is being  challenged) on or before the date on which
such taxes, fees, charges or obligations become due and payable.

                                      VII.

                        Adjustments for Real Estate Taxes
                          and Building Operating Costs.

                                       A.

                                    General.

     1. The term "Lessee's Proportionate Share" shall refer to the proportionate
amount of the real  estate  taxes  and  building  operating  costs to be paid by
Lessee. Lessee's Proportionate Share is 57.964%. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary  contained  herein,  Lessee's  Proportionate  Share shall be equal to a
fraction, the numerator of which is the total floor area of the Demised Premises
and the  denominator of which is the total leasable space on the ground floor of
the Building.

     2. The  obligations  of Lessee set forth in this Article VII shall  survive
any termination of this Lease.

                                       B.

                               Real Estate Taxes.

     1. For each calendar  year during the Term of this Lease,  Lessee shall pay
to Lessor, as additional rent and within thirty (30) days after  notification by
Lessor of the amount thereof, its Proportionate Share of the Real Estate Taxes.

     2. If this Lease  terminates  and Lessee  surrenders  the Demised  Premises
before the end of a calendar  year,  Lessee's share of the Real Estate Taxes for
such year shall be  prorated  based upon the portion of such year for which this
Lease is in effect and during which Lessee occupied the Demised Premises.

                                       C.

                            Building Operating Costs.

     1. The term  "Building  Operating  Costs"  shall be deemed to  include  all
expenses incurred by Lessor in the proper management,  operation and maintenance
of the  building  and grounds in and on which the Demised  Premises are located,
including  but not  limited  to the cost to  Lessor  of all  building  supplies,
janitorial


                                       -5-

services,  maintenance  expenses,  trash removal  services,  all fire,  extended
coverage and public  liability  insurance,  all labor  costs,  and all costs for
replacement parts, but excluding management fees, rental commissions, structural
repairs, capital improvements and debt service.

     2. For each calendar year,  Lessee shall pay to Lessor,  as additional rent
and within thirty (30) days after  notification by Lessor of the amount thereof,
Lessee's Proportionate Share of the Building Operating Costs.

     3. If this Lease  terminates  and Lessee  surrenders  the Demised  Premises
before the end of a calendar year, Lessee's  Proportionate Share of the Building
Operating  Costs for such year shall be prorated  based upon the portion of such
year for which this Lease was in effect and during  which  Lessee  occupied  the
Demised Premises.

     4. In computing the Building Operating Costs,  Lessor may use any method of
accounting it desires, provided that it adheres to generally accepted accounting
principles.

                                      VIII.

                     Lessor Not Liable; Indemnity by Lessee.

     Lessor shall not be liable for any injury to persons  (including  death) or
for any loss or damage to property resulting from any cause other than the gross
negligence or wilful,  wrongful act of Lessor.  Lessee shall  indemnify and hold
Lessor  and Agent  harmless  for and from any and all  suits,  actions,  damage,
liability and expense (including attorneys' fees) arising from or out of (A) any
occurrence  in or on the Demised  Premises or (B) the occupancy or use by Lessee
of the Demised Premises.

                                       IX.

                                   Insurance.

     Lessee  shall,  at all times  during the term of this Lease or any  renewal
thereof,  carry with an insurance carrier  acceptable to Lessor and qualified to
do business in the  District of  Columbia,  public  liability  insurance  naming
Lessor as co-insured,  with a limit of liability of not less than $2,000,000.00.
Certificates of such insurance shall be furnished to Lessor before the occupancy
of the Demised Premises by Lessee.

                                       X.

                         Destruction to Leased Premises.

     A. If the Demised  Premises are damaged by fire, the elements,  accident or
any other  casualty  but are not thereby  rendered  untenantable  in whole or in
part,  Lessor shall  promptly,  at its sole cost and expense (unless such damage
was caused by Lessee or any agent, contractor,  employee, invitee or licensee of
Lessee,  in which  event  such  damage  shall be  repaired  at the sole cost and
expense of Lessee),  cause such damage to be repaired, and the Rent shall not be
abated.

     B. If the Demised  Premises are damaged by fire, the elements,  accident or
any other casualty and are thereby rendered  untenantable in part,  Lessor shall
promptly,  at its sole cost and expense (unless such damage was caused by Lessee
or any agent,  contractor,  employee,  invitee or licensee  of Lessee,  in which
event such  damage  shall be  repaired  at the sole cost and expense of Lessee),
cause the damage to be repaired, and the Rent shall be abated proportionately in
accordance with the portion of the Demised Premises rendered  untenantable,  and
such  abatement  shall commence on the date Lessor [or Agent] is notified of the
damage and shall continue until the repairs have been completed.

     C. If the Demised  Premises are damaged by fire, the elements,  accident or
other casualty and are thereby  rendered wholly  untenantable and the completion
of the  repairs  are  estimated  to take more than 90 days from the day  damaged
occurred,  either Lessor or Lessee shall have the option to terminate this Lease
immediately  by giving  written  notice of such  termination  to the other party
within 30 days of the  occurrence of such damage,  in which event neither Lessor
nor Lessee shall,  after the date of such notice,  have any further liability to
the other  hereunder.  In the event neither Lessee nor Lessor so terminates this
Lease,  Lessor shall cause such damage to be  repaired,  in which event the Rent
shall be abated in full,  and such  abatement  shall commence on the date Lessor
[or Agent] is notified of the damage and shall  continue  until the repairs have
been  completed.  If Lessor  causes the Demised  Premises to be  repaired,  such
repairs shall be at the sole cost and expense of Lessor  (unless such damage was
caused by Lessee or any agent,  contractor,  employee,  invitee or  licensee  of
Lessee,  in which  event  such  damage  shall be  repaired  at the sole cost and
expense of Lessee).

     D. Lessor  shall not be required  to repair or  replace,  or to  compensate
Lessee for,  any  property  which  Lessee is entitled to remove from the Demised
Premises.



                                       -7-


<PAGE>



     E. Lessor shall be obligated to make no payments for damages,  compensation
or claims for  inconvenience,  loss of business or  annoyance  arising  from any
damage to or repair of the Demised Premises or the building in which the Demised
Premises are located.

                                       XI.

                                 Eminent Domain.

     If all or any part of the Demised Premises, or all means of access thereto,
are taken or condemned  pursuant to the power of eminent domain,  or by purchase
in lieu  thereof,  this Lease  shall  terminate  and Lessee  shall have no claim
against Lessor or to any portion of the award or purchase price for the value of
any unexpired  term of this Lease,  but the foregoing  shall not limit  Lessee's
right to compensation from the condemning or purchasing  authority for the value
of any of Lessee's property taken (other than Lessee's leasehold interest in the
Demised  Premises).  In the event of a temporary taking pursuant to the power of
eminent  domain,  this Lease shall not  terminate  but the term hereof  shall be
extended by the period of the taking and the Rent shall abate in  proportion  to
the area for the period of such taking.

                                      XII.

                                   Utilities.

     Lessee  shall  arrange and pay for all  utilities  furnished to the Demised
Premises during the Term of this Lease, including water,  electricity,  gas, and
telephone service, including any and all tap or hook-up fees.

                                      XIII.

                                 No Other Banks

     Lessor agrees it will not permit any other bank,  credit  union,  savings &
loan, trust company or other depository or lending  institution in the Riverdale
Property. For purposes of this Lease the term "Riverdale Property shall mean the
property  owned  by  Lessor  and  commonly  known  as  "Gallery   Court,"  which
encompasses 800-808 7th Street and 705-709 "H" Street,  N.W.,  Washington,  D.C.
and any other real property Lessor now owns or may hereafter acquire that fronts
on "H" Street from 5th to 8th  Street,  on 7th Street for a distance of one-half
(1/2) block  north and south of "H"  Street,  or on 6th Street for a distance of
one-half (1/2) block south of "H" Street and commonly known as "Chinatown."

                                      XIV.

                          Rights of Lessee Subordinate.

     This Lease, and the rights of Lessee hereunder, are subject and subordinate
to all ground or underlying  leases and to all mortgages or deeds of trust which
may now or hereafter  affect this Lease, the Demised  Premises,  the building in
which the Demised  Premises  are  located or the land on which such  building is
constructed.  The foregoing  subordination provision shall be self-operative and
no further  instrument of subordination  shall be required;  provided,  however,
that in  confirmation  of such  subordination,  Lessee hereby  agrees,  upon the
request of Lessor, to execute and deliver, in recordable form, any instrument of
subordination   or   confirmation   of   subordination   required   by   Lessor.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,  in the event of a foreclosure under any mortgage
or deed of trust  affecting  the Demised  Premises or the  building in which the
Demised  Premises are located,  or in the event of the  termination  of Lessor's
interest or the eviction of Lessor under any ground or other  underlying  lease,
the  holder  of the  note  secured  by the  mortgage  or deed of  trust,  or the
purchaser at such  foreclosure  sale, or the landlord under such ground or other
underlying lease,  shall have the option to recognize this Lease, in which event
this Lease shall  continue in full force and effect and Lessee  shall  attorn to
the new landlord  hereunder.  In the event that Lessor  places a new mortgage or
deed of trust on the building in which the Demised  Premises  are located  after
the date hereof,  Lessor shall use its best efforts  (without the expenditure of
money) to  obtain a  nondisturbance  agreement  from the new  mortgagee  for the
benefit of Lessee on terms reasonably acceptable to Lessee.


                                       XV.
                             Rules and Regulations.

     Lessee,  on  behalf  of  itself  and its  agents,  employees,  contractors,
invitees  and  licensees,  hereby  agrees to observe  and  strictly  comply with
certain rules and regulations  (hereafter  called the "Rules and  Regulations"),
hereafter  adopted by Lessor.  Lessor  shall give Lessee  written  notice of the
Rules and  Regulations as soon as  practicable  after they have been modified or
supplemented. Lessor shall not be liable for the non- observance or violation by

                          No Assignment or Subletting.

     Lessee  covenants and agrees that it will not assign this Lease,  or sublet

                                      XVII.

                                Quiet Enjoyment.

     Lessor  agrees  that,  subject  to and  upon  compliance  with  the  terms,
provisions,  covenants  and  conditions  of this  Lease,  Lessee  shall  and may
peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Demised  Premises for the Term of

                                      XIX.

                    Covenants by Lessee; Hazardous Materials.

     Lessee  covenants  and agrees to comply with all  federal,  state and local
laws, statutes, ordinances, rules, regulations, orders and requirements relative
to Lessee's occupancy and use of the Demised Premises.  Lessee further covenants
and  agrees  to  permit  nothing  to be done in, on or  concerning  the  Demised
Premises which would invalidate,  conflict with or increase the premiums for the
fire,  casualty and  liability  insurance  covering the Demised  Premises or the
building in which the Demised Premises are located.

     Lessor agrees to remove all hazardous  materials  and  substances  from the
Demised  Premises and agrees to indemnify Lessee in connection with the presence
of all hazardous  materials and substances  located within the Demised Premises,
other than those  hazardous  materials  and  substances  present in the  Demised
Premises  due to the  actions of Lessee.  Lessee  shall be  responsible  for all
hazardous  materials and substances  present at the Demised  Premises due to the
actions of Lessee and agrees to


                                      -10-


<PAGE>



indemnify Lessor in connection with the presence of all such hazardous materials
and substances.

                                       XX.

                     Alterations and Improvements; Signage.

     A. Lessor shall perform all work  required to deliver the Demised  Premises
to Lessee in clean retail shell condition,  with rough-in  plumbing  connections
and hookups for a staff  restroom  facility  for Lessee and,  upon  receipt from
Lessee of the required structural drawings, a reinforced floor for Lessee's safe
area  ("Lessor's  Work").  After  completion of Lessor's  Work,  the  structural
elements,  roof and building  systems of the Demised  Premises shall be in sound
condition and be in substantial  compliance with all applicable  federal,  state
and  local  codes  including  but  not  limited  to  handicapped   accessibility
standards.  Lessor agrees to disclose to Lessee any known  conditions that would
adversely affect bank design, construction and use.

     B. Lessor acknowledges that Lessee desires to make certain  improvements to
the Demised  Premises  prior to use of the  Demised  Premises  for the  purposes
authorized by this Lease (the "Initial  Improvements").  All costs in connection
with the  Initial  Improvements  shall  be paid by  Lessee,  including,  without
limitation, costs of preparation of plans and specifications,  materials, labor,
inspections, permits and licenses. Prior to commencing the Initial Improvements,
Lessee shall provide Lessor with copies of all plans and  specifications for the
Initial Improvements (the "Plans") and such information as Lessor may require in
connection  with the  contractor  that  Lessee  desires to use to  complete  the
Initial  Improvements (the "Contractor").  Lessee shall not commence any work on
the Initial Improvements until such time as Lessee has received written approval
from  Lessor  of  the  Plans  and  the  Contractor,  said  approval  not  to  be
unreasonably  conditioned,   delayed  or  withheld.  All  work  on  the  Initial
Improvements shall be performed only in accordance with the Plans.  Lessee shall
be responsible for diligently pursuing and obtaining,  at its sole expense,  all
licenses and permits required to complete the Initial Improvements. In the event
Lessee cannot obtain the permits  required to perform the Initial  Improvements,
Lessee  shall  have the right to  terminate  this Lease  upon  thirty  (30) days
written notice to Lessor.

     C.  Notwithstanding  any  provision of this Lease to the  contrary,  Lessor
shall  provide   Lessee  with  a  $2,500   allowance  for  the   relocation  and
reinstallation of the HVAC unit, which shall be payable to Lessee within fifteen
(15) business days of request for reimbursement by Lessee.  The request shall be
accompanied by proof of payment by Lessee for the relocation of the HVAC unit,


                                      -11-

in an  amount  equal to or  exceeding  $2,500.  In  addition,  Lessee  agrees to
complete a stairway to the basement  adjoining the Demised  Premises at its sole
expense as part of the Initial Improvements. In return, Lessee shall be entitled
to use as much of the basement  under Demised  Premises for storage space during
the Term and any Extended Term of this Lease, as it desires, at no charge.

     D. After completion of the Initial Improvements,  Lessee shall not alter or
improve,  nor cause any  alterations or  improvements to be made to, the Demised
Premises  without Lessor's prior written consent (which Lessor shall be under no
obligation  to grant).  Upon such  consent of Lessor,  any such  alterations  or
improvements shall be made or constructed at Lessee's sole cost and expense,  by
one or more  contractors  approved  in  writing  by Lessor  and using  materials
approved  in  writing  by  Lessor.   In  addition,   all  such  alterations  and
improvements  (including the Initial  Improvements),  and all such  contractors,
shall  comply  with  all  applicable   District  of  Columbia  laws,   statutes,
ordinances,  rules, regulations,  orders and requirements.  Lessee covenants and
agrees to  indemnify  and hold Lessor  harmless for and from any and all claims,
costs, demands and expenses (including attorneys' fees) relative to or resulting
from such alterations and improvements  (including the Initial Improvements) and
the work  necessary  therefor.  Lessor shall have the right,  to be exercised at
Lessor's option and in its sole  discretion,  to require Lessee to remove any or
all of  such  alterations,  improvements,  decorations  and  furnishings  and to
repair,  at Lessee's sole cost and expense,  any damage to the Demised  Premises
resulting from such removal.

     Lessee  shall  not  alter  or  improve,   nor  cause  any   alterations  or
improvements to be made to, the Demised  Premises without Lessor's prior written
consent (which Lessor shall be under no obligation to grant).  Upon such consent
of Lessor,  any such alterations or improvements shall be made or constructed at
Lessee's sole cost and expense,  by one or more contractors  approved in writing
by Lessor and using materials  approved in writing by Lessor.  In addition,  all
such alterations and improvements,  and all such contractors,  shall comply with
all  applicable  District  of  Columbia  laws,  statutes,   ordinances,   rules,
regulations,  orders and requirements.  Lessee covenants and agrees to indemnify
and hold Lessor  harmless  for and from any and all claims,  costs,  demands and
expenses  (including  attorneys'  fees)  relative  to  or  resulting  from  such
alterations and improvements and the work necessary therefor.  Lessor shall have
the right,  to be exercised at Lessor's  option and in its sole  discretion,  to
require  Lessee  to  remove  any  or  all  of  such  alterations,  improvements,
decorations and furnishings and to


                                      -12-

repair,  at Lessee's sole cost and expense,  any damage to the Demised  Premises
resulting from such removal.

     E. Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, shall have the right to install or
place  signs,  awnings,  or other  advertising  material in or about the Demised
Premises or the building in which the Demised  Premises is locate and may remove
them,  provided that Lessee obtains  Lessor's prior written consent for exterior
signs, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
Such  signs  and  awnings  shall  be in  compliance  with all  applicable  laws,
regulations and rules.

     F. As a service to the  community,  Lessee,  at its sole cost and  expense,
shall install an Automatic  Teller Machine and Night Deposit Box in the exterior
wall of the Demised  Premises.  Its size and appearance  shall be subject to the
prior written  approval of the Lessor,  which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld,  conditioned  or delayed.  No  additional  rent will be charged to the
Lessee for the Automatic Teller Machine or the Night Deposit Box.

                                      XXI.

                     Covenant to Care for Demised Premises.

     Lessee covenants and agrees to commit no waste and to take good care of the
Demised  Premises.  Lessee  shall,  at Lessee's sole cost and expense and to the
complete  satisfaction  of  Lessor,  repair  any and all damage or injury to the
Demised  Premises,  and the building in which the Demised  Premises are located,
that is caused by Lessee or any agent, employee, contractor, invitee or licensee
of Lessee. If Lessee fails to make such repairs, Lessor may, after ten (10) days
prior written  notice to Lessee,  make such repairs and the cost of such repairs
shall be deemed to be additional  rent  hereunder and shall be paid by Lessee to
Lessor within ten (10) days after demand is made  therefor  upon Lessee.  Lessee
covenants  and  agrees  not to  change  any locks or lock  systems  in or on the
Demised Premises without the prior written consent of Lessor, and Lessee further
covenants and agrees,  upon the expiration of the Term of this Lease,  to return
all keys to locks  installed  in or on the Demised  Premises or the  building in
which the Demised  Premises are located to Lessor and to quit and  surrender the
Demised Premises in clean and good condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted.

                           Certain Loading Prohibited.

     Lessee shall not place a load upon the floor of the Demised  Premises  that
exceeds the design or lawful  floor load per square  foot.  Lessor  reserves the
right to  establish  and  regulate  the  weight  and  positioning  of all safes,
computers and any other heavy equipment or equipment  constituting a "live" load
in order to provide for the proper  distribution of weight, and Lessee agrees to
bear the entire cost and expense, if any, necessary to determine such weight and
position. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessor acknowledges that a safe will be
installed by Lessee,  but only in the area prepared for such safe, in accordance
with the terms and provisions of Section XIX A. of this Lease.

                                     XXIII.

                               Default of Lessee.

     F. Each of the  following  shall,  if not  cured  within  the time  periods
prescribed  in  Paragraph  XXII(B)  hereof,   constitute  an  event  of  default
(hereinafter called an "Event of Default") under this Lease:

          1. The Rent or any additional rent is not paid when due.

          2. The Demised  Premises are vacated even though  Lessee  continues to
pay the Rent.

          3. Lessee fails or is unable to pay its debts generally as they become
due.

          4. Lessee transfers property in fraud of creditors.

          5. Lessee makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors.

          6. A conservator, receiver or trustee is appointed for any of Lessee's
assets and such appointment is not vacated within thirty (30) days.

          7.  Lessee  fails to comply  with any  term,  provision,  covenant  or
condition of this Lease within the time and notice periods applicable.

          8.  Lessee  makes  six (6)  consecutive  payments  of the  Rent or any
additional rent after the due date therefor.


                                      -14-


<PAGE>




     G. Lessor shall give Lessee notice of each and every Event of Default as it
or they occur and Lessee  shall have ten (10) days from the date of such  notice
to cure any and all Events of Default  described in Paragraph  XXII(A)(1) hereof
and  thirty  (30) days from the date of such  notice  to cure (or  commence  and
prosecute a good faith effort to cure, if an Event of Default cannot  reasonably
be cured within such thirty-day  period) any and all Events of Default described
in Paragraph XXII(A)(2)-(8) hereof.

     Upon  notice to Lessee by Lessor of the  occurrence  of an Event of Default
and the failure of Lessee to cure such Event of Default  within the time periods
stated above, Lessor shall have the right and option (1) to terminate this Lease
by written notice to Lessee (in which event Lessee shall  immediately  surrender
the  Demised  Premises to Lessor)  and retain all monies  (including  a security
deposit, if applicable)  received from Lessee (but without prejudice to Lessor's
rights to recover from Lessee any amounts  remaining to be paid under the Lease,
including  the  Rent  not yet due and  payable),  or (2) to  enter  the  Demised
Premises and remove Lessee and Lessee's property therefrom with or without force
and without being liable to Lessee in any manner  whatsoever  for any damage and
to attempt to relet the Demised  Premises for Lessee's  account on such terms as
Lessor alone shall determine, or (3) to continue this Lease and sue for Lessee's
performance  hereunder  (including payment of the Rent or any additional rent as
it becomes due). In all events,  Lessor shall be entitled to recover from Lessee
all costs and  expenses  incurred  by Lessor as a result of an Event of Default,
including  reasonable  attorneys' fees. The proceeds of any reletting during the
term of this Lease shall be applied  first to all expenses  incurred as a result
of  Lessee's  default  and of such  reletting  (including,  without  limitation,
reasonable  attorneys' fees, leasing commissions and the cost of any alterations
and  redecorating of the Demised Premises that Lessor deems to be desirable) and
second to  payment of the Rent and any  additional  rent due  hereunder.  Lessee
shall be liable to Lessor for any deficiency  (including all costs of collection
and  reasonable  attorneys'  fees) but shall not be entitled to any surplus that
may arise.  Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary  contained herein,  Lessee
shall not be entitled  to use  self-help  to obtain any of  Lessee's  customers'
money that may be present on the Demised Premises,

     The remedies  provided Lessor above are in addition to, and not in lieu of,
any other  rights and  remedies  Lessor may have under this Lease,  at law or in
equity.  No delay by Lessor in the  enforcement  of the provisions of this Lease
shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of any default of Lessee, and the pursuit
by Lessor of one or more remedies shall not be deemed to constitute


                                      -15-


<PAGE>



an election of remedies to the  exclusion of any other  remedy.  Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Lease,  Lessor shall be under no obligation to relet
the Demised Premises if Lessee, for any reason  whatsoever,  vacates the Demised
Premises before the end of the Term.

                                      XXIV.

accordance  with) all of the other terms,  provisions,  covenants and conditions
contained in this Lease.

or  claimed  to have been  furnished  to Lessee in  connection  with work of any
character performed or claimed to have been performed on the Demised Premises by

contest the  validity or amount of any such lien or claimed lien if Lessee shall
have such lien bonded off and released of record.

                                     XXVII.

                             Successors and Assigns.

Ms. Kate Carr
3702 Curtis Court
Chevy Chase, MD 20815

Dear Ms. Carr:

     Please accept this letter as The Adams  National  Bank's (the "Bank") offer
to employ you as the Bank's Senior Vice President,  Lending.  As the Senior Vice
President,  Lending,  you will be  responsible  for the overall  management  and
operation of the Bank's loan department including compliance with all applicable
regulations.  All  employees  of the  department  shall  report to you and shall
report to the CEO of the Bank.

     The base  compensation for the performance of your duties shall be a salary
of $ 99,500.00 per annum,  payable in cash in accordance  with the Bank's normal
payroll  practices.  Such compensation shall be reviewed annually by the CEO and
the  Personnel  Committee of the Board of Directors.  In addition,  you shall be
eligible to receive annual or other bonuses at the sole  discretion of the Board
of Directors of the Bank.  You shall also  participate in any plan that the Bank
maintains for the benefit of its executive employees relating to profit sharing,
retirement  benefits,  medical  insurance  and other  group  benefits  including
disability  and life  insurance.  Enclosed  herewith  is a summary of the Bank's
current  package of benefits  for which you would  qualify as the Bank's  Senior
Vice President, Lending.

     Further, you will be an important member of the management of the Bank upon
whose  services the Bank will depend for its future  growth and  prosperity.  As
such,  in the event of any actual or  proposed  change in control of the Bank or
its parent, Abigail Adams National Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company"),  which has not
been  approved by a majority of the  continuing  directors  then in office,  you
shall be entitled to receive a lump sum payment equal to one year's base salary.
Change in control means:

(a) when the  Company or the Bank  acquires  actual  knowledge  that any person,
other then an employee  benefit plan established or maintained by the Company or
the Bank, is or becomes the beneficial  owner directly or indirectly,  or record
owner of  securities  of the Company  representing  20% or more of the  combined
voting power of the Company's then outstanding securities;


(b) upon the first  purchase of the Company's  common stock pursuant to a tender
or exchange  offer (other then a tender or exchange made by an employee  benefit
plan established or maintained by the Company or the Bank);


<PAGE>


(c)  upon  the  approval  by  the  Company's  stockholders  of (1) a  merger  or
consolidation  of the Company  with or into  another  corporation  (other than a
merger or  consolidation  the  definitive  agreement for which  provides that at
least  two-thirds  of the  directors of the  surviving or resulting  corporation
immediately  after the  transaction  are  continuing  Directors),  (2) a sale or
disposition of all or substantially  all of the Company's  assets, or (3) a plan
of liquidation or dissolution of the Company;

(d) if  during  any  period of two  consecutive  years,  individuals  who at the
beginning of such period constitute the Board of Directors of either the Company
or the Bank (the "continuing  Directors")  cease for any reason to constitute at
least two-thirds thereof;

(e) upon a sale of (1) common  stock of the Bank if after such sale any  person,
other than an employee  benefit plan established or maintained by the Company or
the Bank, owns a majority of the Bank's common stock or (2) all or substantially
all of the Bank's assets; or

(f) any other agreement,  happening or device which has  substantially  the same
effect on control of the Company or the Bank as any of the foregoing.


     If  after  any  such  event  there  is a  reduction  in your  compensation,
benefits,  responsibilities,  authority or functions which is deemed  materially
adverse by you,  you may choose to  consider  yourself as being  terminated  and
entitled to the foregoing lump sum payment.

     While you are employed by the Bank,  the Bank may,  after written notice to
you,  terminate your  employment for "Just Cause."  Termination for "Just Cause"
shall include  termination because of personal  dishonesty,  breach of fiduciary
duty  involving  personal  profit,  willful  failure to perform stated duties or
willful violation of any law, rule or regulation.

     The Bank and its  Board of  Directors  look  forward  to your  joining  our
management.  Please confirm for me your acceptance of the position as the Bank's
Senior Vice President, Chief Lender commencing no later than February 10, 1997.


                                                     Sincerely,




                                                     Barbara Davis Blum
                                                     Chairwoman & CEO
