NOTE 4 - NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD

     The Bancorp adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income,"
effective for the interim period ended March 31, 1998. SFAS No. 130 requires
that certain financial activity normally disclosed in stockholders' equity be
reported as an adjustment to net income in computing comprehensive income. Items
applicable to the Bancorp are gains and losses on investment securities
available-for-sale. The Bancorp has added a Statement of Comprehensive Income as
a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 130. Comprehensive income components are
reported under a separate caption in the Balance Sheet and Statement of Changes
in Stockholders' Equity. The implementation of SFAS No. 130 did not have any
financial impact on the Bancorp or its operations for the three months ended
March 31, 1998.

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
March 31, 1998 were $233.2 million, an increase of $6.6 million, or 2.9%, from
total assets of $226.6 million at December 31, 1997. Total liabilities increased
by $6.1 million, or 3.0%, to $214.2 million at March 31, 1998 from $208.1
million at December 31, 1997.

         The growth in total assets resulted primarily from an increase of $6.5
million in investment securities from December 31, 1997 to March 31, 1998.

         Total loans receivable decreased by $763 thousand to $128.2 million at
March 31, 1998 from $129 million at December 31, 1997. Non-residential mortgage
loans (permanent and construction) increased by $1.5 million, or 2.1%, to $71.8
million at March 31, 1998, from $70.3 million at December 31, 1997. Residential
mortgage loans (permanent and construction) decreased $1.9 million , from $36.9
million at December 31, 1997, to $35 million at March 31, 1998. This change in
the loan portfolio mix during the quarter reflects the Bancorp's continuing
shift in emphasis from residential mortgage lending to non-residential lending.

         Investment securities available-for-sale increased from $4.7 million at
December 31, 1997, to $17.7 million at March 31, 1998. There were purchases of
$13.2 million of mortgage-backed securities during the quarter ended March 31,
1998, all of which were designated as available-for-sale.

         Investment securities held-to-maturity decreased by $6.5 million, or
8.1%, to $73.9 million at March 31, 1998, from $80.5 million at December 31,
1997. This decrease resulted from repayments and amortization during the three
months ended March 31, 1998.

         The increase in total assets was funded by an increase in customer
deposits of $9.7 million, or 4.8%, to $211.9 million at March 31, 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
and weighted average effective interest 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 following table presents information regarding changes in interest
income and interest expense for the periods indicated. For each category of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is
provided on changes attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume
multiplied by old rate) and changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by old
volume). The dollar changes in interest income and interest expense attributable
to changes in rate/volume (change in rate multiplied by change in volume) have
been allocated between rate and volume variances based on the percentage
relationship of such variances to each other.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The Bancorp's net income was $630 thousand for the three months ended March
31, 1998, compared to $503 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 1997,
an increase of $127 thousand, or 25.3%. Diluted earnings per share were $0.37
and $0.31 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The
weighted average number of diluted shares of common stock outstanding were
1,709,010 and 1,627,704 for the same periods in 1998 and 1997, respectively.

         Net interest income before provision for loan losses for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 was $2.1 million, an increase of $269 thousand, or
14.8%, from $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 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 three months ended March 31, 1998 averaged $219.8 million as compared to
$187.2 million for the same period in 1997. For the three months ended March 31,
1998, the interest rate spread was 3.59%, a decrease of 10 basis points from
3.69% for the three months ended March 31, 1997. The yield on interest-earning
assets increased by 14 basis points from 8.28% for the three months ended March
31, 1997 to 8.42% for the three months ended March 31, 1998. The cost of
interest-bearing liabilities increased by 24 basis points to 4.83% for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 from 4.59% for the three months ended March 31,
1997.

         Total interest income increased by $740 thousand, or 19.4%, to $4.6
million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $3.8 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1997. This increase was primarily due to an
increase of $18.3 million in average loans receivable to $128.2 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 from $109.9 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1997, as well as an increase in the average yield on loans from 9.54%
to 9.82% for the same periods. Average investment securities increased by $14.2
million from $77.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $91.5
million in the three months ended March 31, 1998. The yield on average
investment securities for the three months ended March 31, 1998 was 6.45%, a
decrease of 4 basis points from 6.49% for the three months ended March 31, 1997.

         Total interest expense increased by $472 thousand, or 23.4%, to $2.5
million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $2 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1997. Customer deposits averaged $206 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1998, up $34 million from $172 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1997. The average effective rate paid on deposits
increased by 25 basis points to 4.82% in the 1998 period from 4.57% in the 1997
period. Average borrowings were $2.8 million for the three months ended March
31, 1998, a decrease of $2.7 million from $5.5 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1997. The average effective rate paid on borrowings increased to
5.58% for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from 5.37% for the same period
in 1997.

         The provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 1998
was $225 thousand, as compared to $130 thousand for the three months ended March
31, 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 March 31, 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 March 31, 1998 was $2.2 million, or 1.6% of total
loans receivable, versus $2 million at December 31, 1997, which was also 1.6% of
total loans receivable.

         Other income for the three months ended March 31, 1998 was $489
thousand as compared to $402 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 1997,
an increase of $87 thousand, or 21.6%. Gain on sale of loans increased by $82
thousand from $56 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 1997, to $138
thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 1998. This increase was primarily the
result of a $2 million increase in sales volume. Fee income increased $37
thousand to $344 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 1998, from $307
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 $39 thousand during the
quarter ended March 31, 1997, to $8 thousand for the three months ended March
31, 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 $65 thousand, or 4.8%, to $1.4 million for
the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $1.3 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1997. Employee compensation and benefits increased by $41
thousand, or 6.6%, reflecting normal wage increases for existing personnel and
the cost of increased staffing levels to accommodate growth in the Bancorp's
customer base. Expenses for premises and equipment decreased by $10 thousand, or
4%, primarily because of moving the Fairfax branch to a location owned by the
Bancorp and eliminating the rent expense.

Regulatory Capital Requirements

         At March 31, 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. At March 31, 1998, the Bancorp had $8.1 million of unfunded
lines of credit and undisbursed construction loan funds of $8.5 million.
Approved loan commitments were $5.9 million at March 31, 1998, and the Bancorp
had commitments from investors to purchase loans in the amount of $ 1.6 million.
It is anticipated that funding requirements for these commitments can be met
from the normal sources of funds.
