                              GENERAL INFORMATION

         The enclosed proxy is solicited by the Board of Directors of Second
National Financial Corporation (the "Holding Company") for the Annual Meeting of
Stockholders of the Holding Company (the "Annual Meeting") to be held at the
Holiday Inn, Route 29 South, Culpeper, Virginia, on April 10, 1997, at 1:00
p.m., for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting.
The approximate mailing date of this Proxy Statement and accompanying proxy is
March 7, 1997.

REVOCATION AND VOTING OF PROXIES

         Execution of a proxy will not affect a Stockholder's right to attend
the Annual Meeting and to vote in person. Any Stockholder who has executed and
returned a proxy may revoke it at any time before the proxy is exercised by
filing an instrument effecting such revocation or a duly exercised proxy bearing
a later date with the Holding Company at the above address. Stockholders also
may revoke their proxies by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person.
Proxies will extend to, and will be voted at, any adjourned session of the
Annual Meeting.

VOTING RIGHTS OF STOCKHOLDERS

         Only Stockholders of record at the close of business on February 14,
1997, are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting or any
adjournment thereof. As of the close of business on the record date, 1,485,959
shares of Holding Company common stock, par value of $2.50 per share, were
outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting. The Holding Company has no
other class of stock outstanding.

         Each share of Holding Company common stock is entitled to one vote for
as many persons as there are directors to be elected at the Annual Meeting and
one vote for all other matters voted on at the Annual Meeting. Shares of Holding
Company common stock are not entitled to cumulative voting rights. The presence,
in person or by proxy, of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast will
constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting.

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

         The expenses of soliciting proxies will be borne by the Holding
Company. Proxies are being solicited by mail, and also may be solicited by
directors, officers, employees and agents of the Holding Company in person, by
telephone, or by mail. Officers, directors and employees of the Holding Company
will not receive special compensation for their solicitation activities. The
Holding Company may reimburse banks, brokerage firms, and other custodians,
nominees, and fiduciaries for their reasonable expenses in sending proxy
materials to beneficial owners of Holding Company common stock.


PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS

         As of February 14, 1997, no person was known to the Holding Company to
beneficially own 5% or more of the outstanding shares of Holding Company common
stock.

         The Trust Division of Second Bank & Trust, a wholly-owned subsidiary of
the Holding Company ("the Bank"), holds as trustee of various trust accounts a
total of 88,360 shares (or approximately 5.95%) of Holding Company common stock.
Section 13.1-662E of the Virginia Code prohibits the Trust Division of the Bank
from voting these shares at the Annual Meeting unless a co-fiduciary is
appointed for the sole purpose of voting such shares.

         As of February 14, 1997, the directors and executive officers of the
Holding Company and the Bank as a group beneficially owned 115,066 shares (or
approximately 7.74%) of Holding Company common stock.


                             ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

         The Board of Directors of the Holding Company is comprised of ten
directors who are divided into three classes (Class I, Class II, and Class III).
The term of office for the two Class I directors will expire at the Annual
Meeting. The two persons named on page five, all of whom currently serve as
directors of the Holding Company, will be nominated to serve as Class I
directors. If elected, the Class I directors will serve for terms of three years
until the 2000 Annual Meeting, or until their successors are duly elected and
qualified.

         The persons named in the proxy will vote for the election of the
nominees named below unless authority is withheld. If any of the persons named
below is unavailable to serve for any reason, an event which the Board of
Directors does not anticipate, proxies will be voted for the remaining nominees
and such other person or persons as the Board of Directors may reduce the size
of Class I to the number of remaining nominees, for whom the proxies will be
voted.

         The following table sets forth certain information concerning the
nominees for election at the Annual Meeting as Class I directors, as well as
certain information about the Class II and Class III directors, who will
continue in office after the Annual Meeting until the 1998 and 1999 Annual
Meetings, respectively. The directors of the Holding Company also serve as
directors of the Bank.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

         The Bank has a split dollar life insurance plan that is offered to Bank
officers with the title of Vice President and above. The Bank advances a portion
of the premium which will be reimbursed by the insured officer upon the
termination of his employment or death. In 1996, $2,046 and $1,931 was advanced
to Mr. Kyle and Mr. Barham, and $11,660 was advanced to the six executive
officers as a group under this plan.

         The Bank established an Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") under
section 401(e) of the Internal Revenue Code as of January 1, 1984. The plan's
primary purpose is to enable participating employees to share in the growth and
prosperity of the Bank and the Holding Company by allowing employees to acquire
Holding Company common stock. The Bank contributed $54,965 to the plan in 1996.
Funds contributed by the Bank to the plan are allocated to participants in the
plan in the ratio which the compensation of each participant bears to the total
compensation of all the participants. In 1996, $2,954 and $2,739 were accrued to
Mr. Kyle and Mr. Barham and $24,119 was accrued to the six executive officers as
a group under the plan.

         The Bank has a noncontributory pension plan which conforms to the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). The amount of benefits
payable under the plan is determined by an employee's period of credited
service. The amount of normal retirement benefit will be equal to 1% of a

                                     - 8 -

<PAGE>


participating employee's average compensation for each year of credited service
plus 3/4% of a participating employee's average compensation in excess of
$10,000 for each year of credited service. The plan provides for early
retirement for participants with 10 or more years of service to the Bank who
retire after attaining age 55. A participant who terminates employment after 3
or more years of service is eligible for a deferred benefit.

         The following table shows the estimated annual benefits payable upon
retirement based on specified remuneration and years of credited service
classifications, assuming continuation of the present plan and retirement on
January 1, 1996, at age 65 (normal retirement date):

 125,000         21,125        31,688          42,250         52,813

         O. R. Barham, Jr. will have an estimated 23 years of credited service
at normal retirement age.

         The Bank established a 401(k) Savings Plan effective October 1, 1989.
The plan's primary purpose is to allow employees to save for retirement on a
pre-tax basis. The plan provides for matching contributions by the Bank equal to
100% of the first 2% plus 25% of the next 4% of salary reduction contributions
made by the employee. The Bank made a matched contribution to the plan of
$46,869 in 1996. The plan also provides for discretionary contributions to be
made by the Bank and allocated to participant accounts in proportion to the
participant's compensation. The Bank made no discretionary contribution to the
plan in 1996. In 1996, $3,310 and 2,795 were accrued to Mr. Kyle and Mr. Barham,
and $13,368 was accrued to the six executive officers as a group under this
plan.

         The Bank has a profit sharing plan under which employees of the Bank
receive compensation directly related to the profitability of the Bank.
Compensation under the plan is calculated and approved by the Board of Directors
of the Bank. In 1996, the Bank contributed $179,000 to the plan. In 1996, $8,989
and 7,570 was earned by Mr. Kyle and Mr. Barham, and $41,818 was earned by the
six executive officers as a group under the plan.

         Each employee of the Bank who has attained the age of 21 years and has
worked at least 1,000 hours for the Bank and has one year of service in a
calendar year is eligible to participate in the ESOP, the 401(k) Savings Plan,
and the pension plan. Directors who are not active employees of the Bank are not
entitled to participate in any employee benefit plans of the Bank.

         All other benefits which might be considered of a personal nature would
not be considered significant in relation to the total compensation of O. R.
Barham, Jr. or any other executive officer.

TRANSACTIONS WITH DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

         As of December 31, 1996, borrowing from the Bank by all policy-making
officers, directors, their immediate families, and affiliated companies in which
they are Stockholders amounted to approximately

                                     - 9 -

<PAGE>


$3,244,100. This amount represented 12.2% of the total equity capital of the
Bank as of December 31, 1996, and 1.6% of the total assets of the Bank. These
loans were made in the ordinary course of the Bank's business, on the same
terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the same
time for comparable transactions with others, and do not involve greater than
normal risks of collectibility. The Bank expects to have similar banking
transactions with directors, officers, principal Stockholders and their
associates in the future.

         Stockholders should note that the Holding Company's common stock is
traded infrequently on a local basis and is not quoted or traded on a national
exchange, while many of the institutions in the indexes used for comparison are
traded on national exchanges. Accordingly, this graph is not necessarily
indicative of how the Holding Company would trade on a regional or national
exchange. In addition, there is no reason to assume that the performance of the
Holding Company's common stock for the period shown on the graph is reflective
of expected long-term performance.
