NOTE 4 - NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD

              On June 15, 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS 133). SFAS 133 requires that all
derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at their fair value.
Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in current
earnings or other comprehensive income depending on whether the derivative is
designated as part of a hedge transaction and, if it is, the type of hedge
transaction. SFAS 133 becomes effective for the Bancorp on January 1, 2000.
Management anticipates that the adoption of SFAS 133 will not have a significant
impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Bancorp.

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
June 30, 1998 were $239.9 million, an increase of $13.3 million, or 5.9%, from
total assets of $226.6 million at December 31, 1997. Total liabilities increased
by $12.3 million, or 5.9%, to $220.4 million at June 30, 1998 from $208.1
million at December 31, 1997.

         The growth in total assets resulted primarily from increases of $9.2
million in investment securities, $6.8 million in overnight earning deposits,
and $2 million in cash and due from banks from December 31, 1997 to June 30,
1998.

         Total loans receivable decreased by $6 million to $123 million at June
30, 1998 from $129 million at December 31, 1997. In this period the Bancorp sold
for the first time the guaranteed portion of some of the Small Business
Administration (SBA) loans that it held in portfolio. These sales totaled $2.2
million. Residential mortgage loans (permanent and construction) decreased $4.7
million, from $36.9 million at December 31, 1997, to $32.2 million at June 30,
1998, as lower interest rates led to increased refinances. Non-residential
construction mortgage loans decreased by $3.3 million, or 25.3%, to $9.8 million
at June 30, 1998, from $13.1 million at December 31, 1997. Non-residential
permanent mortgage loans increased by $1.7 million to $58.9 million at June 30,
1998, from $57.2 million at December 31, 1997. Non-mortgage business loans
increased $1.2 million to $22.4 million at June 30, 1998, from $21.2 million at
December 31, 1997.

         Investment securities available-for-sale increased from $4.7 million at
December 31, 1997, to $27 million at June 30, 1998. There were purchases of
$26.3 million of mortgage-backed securities during the six months ended June 30,
1998, all of which were designated as available-for-sale.

         Investment securities held-to-maturity decreased by $13.1 million, or
16.3%, to $67.4 million at June 30, 1998, from $80.5 million at December 31,
1997. This decrease resulted from $15.1 million in repayments and amortization
during the six months ended June 30, 1998, partially offset by purchases of $2
million of obligations of counties and municipalities.

         The increase in total assets was funded by an increase in customer
deposits of $15.8 million, or 7.8%, to $218 million at June 30, 1998 from $202.2
million at December 31, 1997. Part of the increase in customer deposits was used
to fund the repayment of $4.0 million in advances from the Federal Home Loan
Bank ("FHLB") of Atlanta which were outstanding at December 31, 1997.

Results of Operations

         The Bancorp's principal sources of revenue are interest on loans, gains
on sales of loans, fees and service charges on loans, interest and dividends on
investment securities, and service charges on deposit accounts. Net income is
affected by interest on deposits and borrowings and operating expenses.

         The following table presents, for periods indicated, average balances
of and weighted average yields on interest-earning assets and average balances
of and weighted average effective rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities.
Calculations have been made utilizing month-end average balances for loans and
investment securities and daily average balances for borrowings and deposits.
Loan balances do not include non-accrual loans.

                  The Bancorp's net income was $1.3 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1998, compared to $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30,
1997, an increase of $246 thousand, or 23.2%. Diluted earnings per share were
$0.76 and $0.65 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
The weighted average number of diluted shares of common stock outstanding were
1,714,763 and 1,629,906 for the same periods in 1998 and 1997, respectively.

                  Net income for the three months ended June 30, 1998 was $674
thousand, an increase of $118 thousand, or 21.3%, over $556 thousand for the
same period last year. Diluted earnings per share were $0.39 and $0.34 for the
quarters ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The weighted average number
of diluted shares of common stock outstanding were 1,720,913 and 1,631,710 for
the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

                  Net interest income before provision for loan losses for the
six months ended June 30, 1998 was $4.2 million, an increase of $445 thousand,
or 11.8%, from $3.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997. The increase
resulted primarily from growth in average interest-earning assets, which was
partially offset by a decrease in interest margin. Total interest-earning assets
in the six months ended June 30, 1998 averaged $222.9 million as compared to
$192 million for the same period in 1997. For the six months ended June 30,
1998, the interest rate spread was 3.46%, a decrease of 11 basis points from
3.57% for the six months ended June 30, 1997. The yield on interest-earning
assets for the six months ended June 30, 1998 was 8.24% reflecting no change
from the same period last year. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities
increased by 11 basis points to 4.78% for the six months ended June 30, 1998
from 4.67% for the six months ended June 30, 1997.

                  Net interest income before provision for loan losses for the
three months ended June 30, 1998 was $2.1 million, an increase of $176 thousand,
or 9.1%, from $1.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1997.

                  Total interest income increased by $1.3 million, or 16%, to
$9.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998 from $7.9 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1997. This increase was primarily due to an increase
of $14.2 million in average loans receivable to $127.3 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1998 from $113.1 million for the six months ended June 30,
1997, as well as an increase in the average yield on loans from 9.52% to 9.76%
for the same periods. Average investment securities increased by $16.7 million
from $78.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 1997 to $95.6 million in the
six months ended June 30, 1998. The yield on average investment securities for
the six months ended June 30, 1998 was 6.21%, a decrease of 20 basis points from
6.41% for the six months ended June 30, 1997.

                  Total interest expense increased by $821 thousand, or 19.7%,
to $5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998 from $4.2 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1997. Customer deposits averaged $207 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1998, up $33.7 million from $173.3 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1997. The average effective rate paid on deposits
increased by 13 basis points to 4.77% in the 1998 period from 4.64% in the 1997
period. Average borrowings were $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30,
1998, a decrease of $3.2 million from $6.1 million for the six months ended June
30, 1997. The average effective rate paid on borrowings increased to 5.69% for
the six months ended June 30, 1998 from 5.55% for the same period in 1997.

                  The provision for loan losses for the six months ended June
30, 1998 was $450 thousand, as compared to $305 thousand for the six months
ended June 30, 1997. The provision for loan losses is a current charge to
earnings to increase the allowance for loan losses. The Bancorp has established
the allowance for loan losses to absorb the inherent risk in lending after
considering an evaluation of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions,
changes in the nature and volume of lending and past loan experience. Recently,
the Bancorp's volume of non-residential mortgage loans and business loans has
increased, and these loans tend to carry a higher risk classification. The
increase in the provision for loan losses reflects the growth in the portfolio
of non-residential mortgage loans and business loans. It is the opinion of the
Bancorp that the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 1998 remains adequate.
Although the Bancorp believes that the allowance is adequate, there can be no
assurances that additions to such allowance will not be necessary in future
periods, which would adversely affect the Bancorp's results of operations. The
allowance for loan losses at June 30, 1998 was $2.1 million, or 1.7% of total
loans receivable, versus $2 million at December 31, 1997, which was 1.6% of
total loans receivable.

                  Other income for the six months ended June 30, 1998 was $928
thousand as compared to $804 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 1997, an
increase of $124 thousand, or 15.4%. Gain on sale of loans increased by $122
thousand from $98 thousand during the six months ended June 30, 1997, to $220
thousand for the six months ended June 30, 1998. This increase was primarily the
result of a $3.1 million increase in sales volume including the guaranteed
portion of SBA loans on which gains have been recognized. Fee income increased
$17 thousand to $680 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 1998, from $663
thousand for the same period last year. Most of the growth in fee income
resulted from increases in service charges related to deposit accounts,
particularly ATM fees. Other income decreased from $43 thousand during the six
months ended June 30, 1997, to $28 thousand for the six months ended June 30,
1998, because the 1997 period included a one-time payment from the Bancorp's
health insurance provider related to their public issuance of stock.

                  Other expense increased by $196 thousand, or 7.3%, to $2.9
million for the six months ended June 30, 1998 from $2.7 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1997. Employee compensation and benefits increased by $146
thousand, or 11.9%, reflecting normal wage increases for existing personnel and
the cost of opening of a new branch in April 1998. Expenses for premises and
equipment decreased by $27 thousand, or 5%, primarily because of moving the
Fairfax branch to a location owned by the Bancorp and eliminating the rent
expense. Other expense increased by $85 thousand, or 19.8%, reflecting higher
miscellaneous expenses during the six-month period ended June 30, 1998.

                  The provision for income taxes declined from $259 thousand for
the three months ended June 30, 1997, to $172 thousand for the quarter ended
June 30, 1998, because of an adjustment to provisions made in prior periods.

Regulatory Capital Requirements

                  At June 30, 1998 the Bancorp exceeded all regulatory capital
standards, which were as follows:

</TABLE>

Liquidity

                  The Bancorp's primary sources of funds are deposits, loan
repayments, proceeds from the sale of loans and investment securities,
repayments and maturities of investment securities, and borrowings from the
Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta under a credit availability in the amount of
$45 million. At June 30, 1998, the Bancorp had $7.1 million of unfunded lines of
credit and undisbursed construction loan funds of $7.3 million. Approved loan
commitments were $12.2 million at June 30, 1998, and the Bancorp had commitments
from investors to purchase loans in the amount of $ 2.3 million. It is
anticipated that funding requirements for these commitments can be met from the
normal sources of funds.
