  SCOTT & STRINGFELLOW FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
  December 31, 1997
                               
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
  The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
  Scott & Stringfellow Financial, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively the
  "Company"), Scott & Stringfellow, Inc. ("S&S"), Scott & Stringfellow Capital
  Management, Inc. ("SSCM"), and Scott & Stringfellow Realty, Inc.  S&S, the
  Company's principal subsidiary, is a broker-dealer registered under the
  Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  SSCM is an investment advisor registered
  under the Investment Advisors Act of 1940.

  These interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited; however, such
  information reflects all normal recurring adjustments which, in the opinion
  of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the
  period in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  The
  nature of the Company's business is such that the results of any interim
  period are not necessarily indicative of the results which might be expected
  for the full fiscal year.  The notes included herein should be read in
  conjunction with the notes to the consolidated financial statements included
  in the Company's annual report for the fiscal year ended June 27, 1997.  

  During the quarter,  the Company adopted SFAS 128 for computing and
  presenting earnings per share.The new standard replaces the presentation of
  primary and fully diluted earnings per share with presentation of basic and
  diluted earnings per share, respectively.  Unlike primary earnings per share,
  basic earnings per share does not include any dilutive effect of outstanding
  stock options.  Diluted earnings per share is computed similarly
  to fully diluted earnings per share and does include the dilutive effect of
  outstanding stock options.  All current and prior period earnings per share
  information has been stated in accordance with SFAS 128.


2. NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
  As a registered broker-dealer and a member of the New York Stock Exchange
  ("NYSE"), the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, S&S, is subject to the
  Securities and Exchange Commission's Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1). 
  S&S has elected to utilize the alternative method of the Rule, which
  prohibits a broker-dealer from engaging in any transactions which would
  cause its "net capital" to be less than 2% of its "aggregate debit balances"
  arising from customer transactions, as those terms are defined in the Rule. 
  The NYSE may also impose restrictions on S&S's business if its net capital
  falls below 5% of aggregate debit balances.  At December 31, 1997, the
  Company's net capital of $15,859,464 was 15% of its aggregate debit balances
  and was $13,739,315 in excess of its minimum regulatory requirement.

3. COMMON STOCK
  During the quarter ended December 31, 1997, the Company issued 6,264 shares
  of common stock pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options for net
  proceeds of $48,908.  The Company also issued 12,719 shares of common stock
  to the Employee Stock Purchase Plan for net proceeds of $278,659. The
  Company repurchases its common shares in the open market under a plan
  approved by the Board of Directors.  During the quarter, the Company did not
  repurchase any shares and had remaining authority to repurchase 384,932
  shares at December 31, 1997.

4. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
  The Company and its subsidiaries are from time to time named as defendants
  in legal actions incidental to its securities brokerage and investment
  banking activities.  Management believes that all pending claims and
  lawsuits of which it has knowledge will be resolved with no material adverse
  effect on the overall financial condition of the Company, although the
  resolution of such matters might have a material adverse impact on the
  operating results for any given quarterly accounting period.


ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

The Company's primary subsidiary, S&S, conducts a full-service, securities
brokerage and investment banking business through 30 branch offices located in
Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and West Virginia.  Its primary
business is retail securities brokerage with an emphasis on equity securities
and mutual funds.  Other significant activities and services include
institutional securities brokerage, management of and participation in the
underwriting of corporate and municipal securities, investment management
services through SSCM, corporate and municipal financial advisory services,
trading of fixed income and equity securities, primary investment research,
individual retirement account custodial services, and money market cash
management services.  As of December 31, 1997, the Company employed
approximately 585 people including 247 employees with full-time investment
broker responsibilities.

The Company's profitability, to a large degree, is sensitive to the volume of
trading in securities and the volatility and general level of securities'
market prices.  Approximately 73% of the Company's total revenue is generated
by commissions and sales credits, or mark-ups, on securities transactions. 
Many of the Company's activities have high operating costs which do not
decrease proportionately with reduced levels of activity and may even increase
during such periods.  Moreover, some of these operating costs may increase at
a proportionately greater rate than revenues during periods of increased
activity.  While the Company is increasing its sources of fee-based revenue to
improve the stability of revenues and earnings, its profitability is adversely
affected by sustained periods of reduced transaction volume or loss of
brokerage clients.  The Company's profitability is also adversely affected when
it is unable to compensate for increases in fixed costs through the pricing of
its services or increased volume.  In particular, competitive  industry
conditions necessitate the expenditure of significant costs in the areas of
technology, investment broker recruiting, and continual improvement of the
Company's investment research capabilities.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 
THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997

For the quarter ended December 31, 1997, net earnings were $1,715,609, an 87%
increase from $916,015 reported for the same period last year.  Diluted
earnings per share for the second quarter increased by 67%, from $0.30 to
$0.50.  Actual weighted average shares outstanding increased by 5% from the
prior period, while weighted average shares outstanding and common stock
equivalents increased by 11% due primarily to an increase in the Company's
stock price.

Total revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 1998 were $27,326,347, an
increase of 37% from $19,968,282 reported for the same period last year. In
terms of profitability impact, the most significant changes in revenue were
investment banking, which increased by $2,095,975, or 97%, and advisory and
administrative fees, which increased by $1,483,141.  The increase in investment
banking fees was primarily attributable to higher underwriting profits and
management fees from managed equity offerings.  The increase in advisory and
administrative service fees was attributable to increases in investment
advisory fees of SSCM, as well fee income from money markets and managed
accounts.  Commissions from agency transactions increased by $2,854,524, or
28%, to $13,190,859, with commissions on mutual fund and equity trades
comprising most of the increase.  Revenue from principal transactions increased
by 14%, with trading profits and sales credits on over-the-counter equity
transactions accounting for most of the increase.  

Total expenses increased by 33% to $24,615,738 from $18,520,867 in the
year-earlier period.  Employee compensation and benefits, the Company's largest
expense item, increased by 36% from the year-earlier period and accounted for
74% of the overall increase in operating expenses.  The increase in
compensation included substantial increases in commissions and other incentive
compensation, which is variable with revenue and departmental profitability. 
In addition, salaries and benefits associated with a higher employee headcount 
contributed to the increase.  Total employee headcount increased by
approximately 43, or 8% from one year ago.  The ratio of support personnel to
investment brokers increased from 1.33 to 1.37 from one year ago, reflecting
increased support in research, product and administrative support areas.  Other
categories of operating expenses also increased significantly from the
year-earlier quarter.  Occupancy and equipment increased by 31%, primarily as a
result of increased rent expense for both corporate headquarters and branch
offices, as well as facilities moving expense and depreciation.  Advertising
and sales promotion increased by 26% due to higher expenses for client
seminars, travel and marketing brochures.  Data processing expense increased
by 46% due to increased transaction volumes as well as custom computer
programming expenses.  Overall, non-compensation, non-interest expenses
increased by 27% from the year-earlier quarter.  

Interest and dividend revenues increased by $421,442, or 21%, as a result of
continued growth in receivable balances from customer margin accounts. 
Interest expense also increased by 21% as a result of interest paid on higher
levels of customer credit balances on IRA accounts as well as increased levels
of bank borrowing.  

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 
SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997

For the six month period ended December 31, 1997, net income was $3,431,073 or
$0.98 per diluted share as compared to $1,772,412 or $.58 per diluted share
reported last year.  

Total revenues for the first half of fiscal 1998 were $52,770,538, an increase
of 39% from the first half of fiscal 1997.  As with the quarterly comparison,
results for the period benefitted from significant increases in investment
banking and advisory revenues.  Due primarily to increases in assets under
management within the Company's investment advisory and managed account
services, revenue from advisory and administrative services fees for the
comparative six month periods increased by 78%, from $3,359,740 to $5,980,482.
Revenues from investment banking activities increased by 80% due to increased
managed underwritten equity offerings. 

Total expenses for the six month period increased by 35% from 1997.   Employee
compensation and benefits expense increased by 41% from the previous period
primarily as a result of higher commissions and other variable compensation
associated with the higher levels of revenues.  Overall, total operating
expenses excluding interest and compensation increased by 22%.  Increased
transaction volume, as well as higher employee headcount and increasing
occupancy and technology expenditures accounted for this increase. 

Interest income for the six month period, net of interest expense, increased
by 20% from the year-earlier period due to the same factors cited in the
discussion of results for the three month period ended December 31, 1997.  

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As set forth in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows contained in this
report, the Company's primary sources of cash flow are the net cash provided
from the earnings of the Company and from increases in the amounts payable to
customers and other short-term indebtedness incurred in the normal course of
the Company's securities brokerage business.

For the six month period ended December 31, 1997, operating activities used net
cash of $4,871,598 as increases in customer receivable balances of $12,045,245
and trading securities inventories of $4,053,915 more than offset cash provided
by net income of $3,341,073 and other sources of operating cash from
depreciation and changes in current asset and liability account balances.
Because of the nature of the Company's business, the changes in operating asset
and liability account balances relative to net income for any particular
accounting period can be quite large and somewhat arbitrary.  These changes are
normally short term in nature and therefore are not very useful indicators of
long-term trends in the Company's liquidity and capital resources.  However,
the Company has generally experienced increases in balances payable to and
receivable from customers over recent fiscal periods.

Net cash flow of $6,976,758  was provided by financing activities, which
included an increase in drafts payable of $2,871,286 as well as a net increase
in $4,150,000 in short term bank loans.  Issuances of the Company's common
stock during the period totaled $1,179,085, while open market purchases and
retirements of stock totaled $651,427. Investing activities during the period
used net cash of $2,962,717, which included $1,705,311 in purchases of fixed
assets and $1,401,413 of new loans, primarily to newly recruited investment
brokers and other employees.  Over the six month period, the Company's overall
net cash position declined by $857,556. 

At December 31, 1997, approximately 87% of the Company's assets were liquid,
consisting mainly of cash or assets readily convertible into cash.  The
Company's largest asset is its receivable from customers, representing
borrowings from the Company by customers to finance the purchase of securities
on margin.  Such receivables from customers are substantially financed by
customer credit balances (excess funds kept by customers with the Company),
short-term bank borrowings and equity capital.  The Company utilizes short-term
bank borrowings under established lines of credit with several banking
institutions.  A total of $62,000,000 in approved lines of credit was available
to the Company at December 31, 1997, with $9,100,000 outstanding.  The Company
had no other debt obligations outstanding at that date.

The Company is subject to the net capital requirements of the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC") and the New York Stock Exchange which are designed
to measure the general financial soundness and liquidity of broker-dealers. 
The Company has consistently operated in excess of the minimum requirements. 
At December 31, 1997, the Company's net capital of $15,859,464 exceeded the
minimum requirement by $13,739,315.  Net capital was comprised entirely of
stockholders' equity less certain regulatory adjustments.  The ratio of net
capital to aggregate debit items was 15% at December 31, 1997, as compared to
16% at December 31, 1996.

Management believes that funds provided by earnings combined with its existing
liquid capital base and its present lines of credit, are fully adequate to meet
the Company's financing needs for the foreseeable future.
