SOUTHERN FINANCIAL BANCORP, INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Financial Condition
Total assets of Southern Financial Bancorp, Inc. (the "Bancorp") at
September 30, 1997 were $221.3 million, an increase of $30.5 million, or 16.0%,
from total assets of $190.8 million at December 31, 1996. Total liabilities
increased by $29.0 million, or 16.6%, to $203.4 million at September 30, 1997
from $174.4 million at December 31, 1996.
The increase in total assets resulted from increases of $14.4 million
in net total loans receivable and $16.4 million in investment securities held
to maturity from December 31, 1996 to September 30, 1997.
Although net total loans receivable increased by $14.4 million, or
13.3%, to $122.7 million at September 30, 1997 from $108.3 million at December
31, 1996, a shift occurred in the composition of the categories. The principal
changes were an increase in non-residential mortgage loans of $6.4 million, an
increase in non-residential construction loans of $4.7 million, and an increase
in non-mortgage business loans of $8.2 million. These increases were offset by a
decrease in residential permanent loans of $4.4 million, reflecting an ongoing
change in emphasis on the part of the Bancorp from residential mortgage lending
to business lending.
Investment securities available for sale declined to $4.7 million at
September 30, 1997 from $5.1 million at December 31, 1996, primarily due to the
fact that $375,000 of FHLMC Preferred Stock was called by the issuer. At
September 30, 1997 investment securities available for sale consisted entirely
of Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC") preferred stock and 15 year
Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA) mortgage backed securities and were
recorded at current market value.
Investment securities held to maturity increased by $16.4 million, or
25.2%, to $81.6 million at September 30, 1997 from $65.2 million at December 31,
1996. This increase was due to the purchase of $29.4 million in securities
offset by paydowns of securities of $13.5 million during the nine months ended
September 30, 1997.
The increase in total assets was funded by an increase in customer
deposits of $29.2 million, or 17.8%, to $193.5 million at September 30, 1997
from $164.3 million at December 31, 1996. Part of the increase in customer
deposits went to fund a decrease of $500,000 in advances from the Federal Home
Loan Bank ("FHLB") of Atlanta which decreased from $8.5 million at December 31,
1996 to $8.0 million at September 30, 1997. At September 30, 1997 the advances
from the FHLB of Atlanta consisted of $6.0 million of adjustable-rate advances
and $2.0 million of fixed-rate advances all of which mature in one year or less.
The primary sources of funds for operations of the Bancorp include
principal repayments on loans and mortgage backed securities, sales of loans,
and new savings deposits and borrowings. The Bancorp had outstanding commitments
under existing construction loan agreements to fund loans approximating $10.1
million at September 30, 1997. In the opinion of management, the Bancorp's
liquid assets are adequate to meet commitments for loan fundings and other
obligations and expenditures.
Results of Operations
The Bancorp's principal sources of revenues are interest and fees on
loans and mortgage-backed securities and interest and dividends on investments
as well as service fees on deposit accounts. Net income is affected by operating
expenses and interest paid on deposits and borrowings from the Federal Home Loan

The Bancorp recorded net income of $1.6 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997, compared to $520,405 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996, an increase of $1.1 million, or 212.5%. There was a one-time
charge of $870,000 for the Bancorp's share of the cost to recapitalize the
Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF) in the 1996 period, and there was no
comparable charge in the 1997 period. Primary earnings per share were $1.00 and
$0.32 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Weighted average number of primary common shares outstanding were 1,618,928 and
1,602,638 for the same periods in 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Net interest income before provision for loan losses for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 was $5.8 million, an increase of $768,325, or
15.2%, from $5.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The
increase resulted primarily from a growth in average interest-earning assets,
which was partially offset by a decrease in interest rate spread. Total
interest-earning assets in the nine months ended September 30, 1997 averaged
$197.5 million as compared to $171.8 million for the same period in 1996. For
the nine months ended September 30, 1997 the interest rate spread was 3.64%, a
decrease of 2 basis points from 3.66% for the nine months ended September 30,
1996. This was primarily due to the fact that there was a proportionally greater
increase in lower yielding investment securities than in loans receivable. The
interest margin remained constant at 3.94% for both periods. The yield on
interest-earning assets decreased by 5 basis points from 8.41% for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 to 8.36% for the nine months ended September 30,
1997 due to the previously mentioned emphasis on lower yielding investment
securities. The cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased by 3 basis points
to 4.72% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from 4.75% for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996.
For the three months ended September 30, 1997, the Bancorp recorded net
income of $567,747 as compared to a loss of $224,517 for the three months ended
September 30, 1996, an increase of $792,264. Primary earnings per share were
$0.34 and a loss of $0.14 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 and
1996, respectively. Weighted average number of primary common shares outstanding
were 1,643,925 and 1,628,291 for the same periods in 1997 and 1996,
respectively.
Net interest income before provision for loan losses for the three
months ended September 30, 1997 was $2.1 million, an increase of $352,118, or
20.4%, from $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 1996. The
increase resulted primarily from a growth in average interest-earning assets.
Total interest income increased by $1.5 million, or 14.2%, to $12.4
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from $10.8 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996. This increase was primarily due to an
increase in average loans receivable of $10.0 million from $105.6 million in the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 to $115.6 million in the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 and to an increase of $15.7 million in average investment
securities to $81.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from
$66.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. In addition, there
was as an increase in the average yield on loans from 9.72% to 9.73% and an
increase in the average yield on investment securities from 6.33% to 6.42% for
the same periods.
Total interest expense increased by $768,633, or 13.4%, to $6.5 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from $5.8 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996, primarily due to an increase in customer
deposits which averaged $179.1 million for the nine months ended September 30,
1997, up $23.1 million from $156.0 million for the nine months ended September
30, 1996. This was offset, however, by a decrease in the average effective rate
paid on deposits of 2 basis points to 4.69% in the 1997 period from 4.71% in the
1996 period. FHLB of Atlanta advances averaged $5.9 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997, an increase of $275,000 from $5.7 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996. The average effective rate paid on FHLB of
Atlanta advances decreased to 5.57% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997
from 5.82% for the same period in 1996.
The provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30,
1997 was $560,000, as compared to $510,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 1996. In recognition of any nonperforming loans and the inherent risk in
lending, the Bancorp has established a provision for loan losses. The provision
for loan losses is a reserve of funds established to absorb the inherent risk in
lending, after evaluating the loan portfolio, considering current
12
<PAGE>
economic conditions, changes in the nature and volume of lending and past loan
loss experience. In management's opinion the allowance for loan losses is
adequate to absorb potential losses in the current loan portfolio. The allowance
for loan losses at September 30, 1997 was $1.8 million, which provided coverage
of 1.4% of total loans receivable and 135.9% of nonperforming loans and real
estate owned, versus $1.5 million at December 31, 1996, which provided coverage
of 1.4% of total loans receivable and 75.0% of nonperforming loans and real
estate owned.
Total other income for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was
$1,.3 million as compared to $826,186 for the nine months ended September 30,
1996, an increase of $440,314, or 53.3%. This was primarily due to an increase
in fees earned on a larger retail deposit base.
Total operating expense decreased by $452,354, or 9.8%, to $4.2 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from $4.6 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996, due to a reduction in deposit insurance
assessments which were offset by the following increased expenses. Employee
compensation and benefits increased by $272,582, or 17.2%, reflecting the cost
of opening one new branch in Winchester in July, 1996, as well as increases in
staff to accommodate growth of the Bancorp. Premises and equipment increased by
$251,632, or 21.8% which principally reflects the cost of opening the new branch
in Winchester in July, 1996, the cost of relocating the Fairfax branch to an
improved location, and investment in new computers and the upgrading of existing
equipment.
Deposit insurance assessments decreased $1.0 million, or 93.0%, to
$77,828 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from $1.1 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 due to the reduction in the ongoing
periodic insurance payments to the Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF)
which occurred as a result of the one-time recapitalization of the SAIF in the
third quarter of 1996. In addition, there was a one-time charge of $870,000 for
the Bancorp's share of the cost to recapitalize the SAIF in the 1996 period, and
there was no comparable charge in the 1997 period.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
The consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes presented
herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles which require the measurement of financial position and operating
results in terms of historical dollars without considering changes in the
relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation.
Unlike many industrial companies, substantially all of the assets and
virtually all of the liabilities of the Bancorp are monetary in nature. As a
result, interest rates have a more significant impact on the Bancorp's
performance than the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates may
not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the
prices of goods and services. However, other expenses do reflect general levels
of inflation.
Impact of Accounting Pronouncements
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings per
Share" (EPS). This statement, which supersedes APB Opinion No. 15, simplifies
the standards for computing EPS and makes them comparable to international
standards. SFAS No. 128 replaces the current "primary" and "fully diluted"
earnings per share with "basic" and "diluted" earnings per share. Basic EPS is
computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS
reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other
contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock,
or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings or
the company. Diluted EPS is computed similarly to fully diluted EPS pursuant to
APB Opinion No. 15. SFAS No. 128 is effective for financial statements issued
for the periods ending after December 15, 1997. Early application is not
permitted and prior period restatement is required. Management has not yet
determined the impact, if any, of this statement on the Bancorp.
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive
Income. This statement establishes standards for the reporting and display of
comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general-purpose
financial statements. SFAS No. 130 requires that all items that are required to
be recognized as components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial
statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial
statements. The statement does not require a specific format for that financial
statement but requires that an enterprise display an amount representing total
comprehensive income for the period in that financial statement. SFAS No. 130 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. Management has not
yet determined the impact, if any, of this statement on the Bancorp.
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 131, Disclosures About Segments of
an Enterprise and Related Information. SFAS No. 131 establishes standards
14
<PAGE>
for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating
segments in annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises
report selected information about operating segments in interim financial
reports issued to shareholders. It also establishes standards for related
disclosures about products and services, geographical areas, and major
customers. SFAS No. 131 is effective for financial statements for periods
beginning after December 15, 1997. Management has not yet determined the impact,
if any, of this statement on the Bancorp.
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
Certain statements under the caption "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and elsewhere in this Quarterly
Report and the documents incorporated herein by reference constitute
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the United States Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements
involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause
the actual results, performance or achievements of the Bancorp, or industry
results, to be materially different from any future results, performance, or
achievements of the Bancorp, or industry results, to be materially different
from any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by
such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others, the
following: general economic and business conditions in the Bancorp's market
area, inflation, fluctuations in interest rates, changes in government
regulations and competition, which will, among other things, impact demands for
loans and banking services; the ability of the Bancorp to implement its business
strategy; and changes in, or the failure to comply with, government regulations.
Forward-looking statements are intended to apply only at the time they are made.
Moreover, whether or not stated in connection with a forward-looking statement,
the Bancorp undertakes no obligation to correct or update a forward-looking
statement should the Bancorp later become aware that it is not likely to be
achieved. If the Bancorp were to update or correct a forward-looking statement,
investors and others should not conclude that the Bancorp will make additional
updates or corrections thereafter.
