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. ("Southern Financial") at
September 30, 2000 were $541.1 million, an increase of 33.2 % compared with
December 31, 1999.  The growth in total assets was primarily due to the
September 1, 2000 merger with First Savings Bank of Virginia  (First Savings),
which increased total assets by  $73.9 million, including $2.9 million of
goodwill acquired through its merger.  In addition, on September 7, 2000,
Southern Financial closed on a pooled trust preferred transaction, generating
net proceeds of $7.8 million.

     Total loans receivable increased 27.4% from $234.1 million at December 31,
1999, with $47.0 million in loans acquired from its merger with First Savings.
Most of the increase was in commercial loans, as Southern Financial continues to
build its small to medium-size commercial customer base. Non-mortgage business
loans, included in commercial loans, included loans purchased totaling $18.5
million during 2000.   The growth in residential mortgage and construction loans
is predominantly due to the merger.

     Investment securities available-for-sale and held-to-maturity increased
49.9 % and 35.7%, respectively, during the same period.   In addition to the
$11.3 million of investment securities acquired from First Savings, Southern
Financial purchased investment securities totaling  $67.5 million, with $59.7
comprised of available-for-sale securities. The investment securities purchased
consisted of adjustable and fixed rate mortgage backed securities,
collateralized mortgage obligations and corporate bonds.

     The growth in earning assets, as discussed above, was funded by deposits
and borrowings, including capital trust borrowings. The advances from the FHLB
included $15 million fixed rate 10-year borrowings with callable terms ranging
from two to five years. The capital trust borrowings have 30-year terms and
qualify as capital for bank regulatory purposes, with certain limitations. The
capital trust proceeds provided Southern Financial with a vehicle to grow its
assets and still maintain regulatory capital standards.

Results of Operations
---------------------

    Southern Financial'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,
and the effect of the interest rate swaps is reflected in the average rate on
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.  The effect of the

    Southern Financial's net income was $1.3 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2000, and $3.7 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2000. For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1999, respectively,
Southern Financial reported a net loss of $591 thousand and net income of $1.3
million. The results of operations for the quarter and nine months ended
September 30, 1999, included $1.6 million of non-recurring expenses related to
the merger with the Horizon Bank of Virginia as well as a special loan loss
provision of $756 thousand made by Horizon.

    Net interest income before provision for loan losses for the three months
ended September 30, 2000 was $4.4 million, an increase of $518 thousand or
13.2%, from $3.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999.  Net
interest income before provision for loan losses for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000, increased to $13.0 million from $11.3 million for the same
period in 1999.  The increase in net interest income is attributable to growth
in earning assets and improvement in the interest rate spread.  Although the
average balances of interest-earning assets have not increased as much as the
average balances of interest-bearing liabilities during the quarter and nine
months ended September 30, 2000, the yield on loans and investment securities
has increased more than the cost of the deposits and borrowings has increased.

    The provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2000
was $975 thousand, as compared to $1.8 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999, which included a special loan loss provision of $756
thousand made by Horizon during the third quarter of 1999.  The provision for
loan losses is a current charge to earnings to increase the allowance for loan
losses.  Southern Financial 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, past loan experience and other relevant factors.  It is the opinion of
Southern Financial that the allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2000
remains adequate.  Although Southern Financial 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 results of
operations.  The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2000 was $4.8
million, or 1.58% of total loans receivable less deferred fees, versus $3.5
million at December 31, 1999, which was 1.45% of total loans receivable less
deferred fees.

    Other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 was $3.1 million,
an increase from $3.0 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999.  The
increase was primarily due to increased fee income on deposits, electronic
banking services and fee income from Southern WebTech.com, Inc.

    Other expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 was $9.6 million,
an increase of 5.9% when compared to other expense for the same period last year
before merger-related expenses.  Employee compensation and benefits increased by
$416 thousand, or 8.9%, reflecting normal wage increases for existing personnel
and some additional staffing.



Regulatory Capital Requirements
-------------------------------

    At September 30, 2000 Southern Financial exceeded all regulatory capital
standards.

Liquidity
---------

     Southern Financial'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 equal to 20% of
total assets, or approximately $108 million.  At September 30, 2000, Southern
Financial had $28.9 million of unfunded lines of credit and undisbursed
construction loan funds of $20.3 million. Approved loan commitments were $25.1
million at September 30, 2000, and Southern Financial had commitments from
investors to purchase loans in the amount of $750 thousand. It is anticipated
that funding requirements for these commitments can be met from the normal
sources of funds.

Part II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
         -----------------

          On August 29, 2000, a Fauquier County jury returned an unfavorable
          verdict against Southern Financial Bank in a lender liability suit
          filed by a former customer of the Bank.  The jury's verdict
          recommended that the plaintiff be awarded compensatory damages of
          $2,053,919 as well as punitive damages totaling $3,000,000.  The bank
          has been advised by its attorneys handling the case that under
          Virginia law the jury's punitive damage award exceeds the $350,000
          maximum amount permitted, and that, in their opinion, the jury's
          compensatory damage award is not in accord with the law or the
          evidence presented at trial.   No order has yet been entered by the
          court as Southern Financial Bank is seeking to set that verdict aside
          through post-trial motions. To date, Southern Financial has filed
          post-trial motions to set aside or reduce that verdict.  The Court has
          scheduled oral arguments on October 31, 2000.  The court is not
          expected to issue an order until oral arguments have been heard. The
          plaintiff's response brief, Southern Financial's rebuttal brief, and
          the hearing for argument on the post-trial motions must be completed
          by that time.  No estimate of the amount of any potential loss or
          range of loss can be made until then.
