        This Final  Amendment  amends and  supplements  the Issuer Tender Offer
Statement  on Schedule  13E-4 dated May 30, 1996 as amended by  Amendment  No. 1
thereto  dated  July 1,  1996,  relating  to the  offer by Scott &  Stringfellow
Financial,  Inc.  (the  "Company")  to  purchase  up to  200,000  shares  of the
Company's common stock,  $0.10 par value per share (the "Shares"),  at per share
prices specified by tendering shareholders not in excess of $19.00 nor less than
$17.00 per Share, in cash, net to the  shareholders,  upon the terms and subject
to the  conditions  set forth in the Company's  Offer to Purchase  dated May 30,
1996 and in the related Letter of Transmittal. Capitalized terms used herein but
not  otherwise  defined  shall have the  meanings  assigned to such terms in the
Issuer Tender Offer Statement.
         On July 1, 1996,  the Company  announced  that,  based on a preliminary
count of 284,287 shares tendered, it had accepted for purchase 200,000 Shares at
a price of $19.00  per Share,  in  accordance  with the terms of the Offer.  The
preliminary  proration factor was 70.32%.  On July 1, 1996, the Company issued a
press release,  a copy of which was filed as Exhibit  (a)(10) to Amendment No. 1
to the Issuer Tender Offer Statement.

         A total of  approximately  284,287 Shares were validly tendered and not
withdrawn at the $19.00 per Share  Purchase  Price,  including  Shares for which
certificates were delivered to the Depositary pursuant to the Offer's guaranteed
delivery  procedures.  The Company will purchase  200,000 Shares pursuant to the
Offer.  The Company has been informed by the Depositary that the final proration
factor has been  amended to  80.6496%.  The final  proration  factor  takes into
account Shares tendered with a condition that a specified minimum number must be
purchased which were automatically deemed withdrawn if the ratio of such minimum
number of Shares to total Shares  tendered by a shareholder  exceeded  80.6496%.
Following purchase of the 200,000 Shares, the Company will have 2,002,475 shares

RICHMOND, Va -- Scott & Stringfellow Financial, Inc. (Nasdaq NMS:SCOT) announced

its offer to  purchase up to 200,000  shares,  which  expired on June 27,  1996.

adjustments  will be made to avoid purchase of fractional  shares.  In addition,
100% of shares  tendered by odd-lot  holders will be purchased.  Shares tendered
with a condition  that a specified  minimum  number  must be  purchased  will be
automatically  deemed withdrawn if the ratio of such minimum number of shares to
