SOUTHERN FINANCIAL BANCORP, INC.
ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Financial Condition
The total assets of Southern Financial Bancorp, Inc. (the "Bancorp") at
September 30, 1996 were $190.9 million, an increase of $26.1 million, or
15.8%, from total assets of $164.8 million at December 31, 1995. Total
liabilities increased by $25.9 million, or 17.4%, to $174.9 million at
September 30, 1996 from $149.0 million at December 31, 1995.
The increase in total assets resulted from an increase of $14.2 million,
or 30.9% in mortgage-backed securities to $60.2 million at September 30, 1996
from $46.0 million at December 31, 1995 and an increase in investment
securities (held-to-maturity and available-for-sale) of $6.4 million.
Loans receivable increased by $2.0 million to $106.3 million at September
30, 1996 from $104.3 million at December 31, 1995. Although total loans
receivable remained relatively constant a shift occurred in the composition of
the categories. The principal change was an increase in non-residential
permanent loans of $5.6 million and comparable net decrease in non-residential
construction loans, reflecting the conversion of these loans from construction
to permanent.
Investment securities available-for-sale increased by $1.4 million, or
50.0 %, to $4.2 million at September 30, 1996 from $2.8 million at December
31, 1995. Investment securities available-for-sale consists entirely of
Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC") preferred stock and is
recorded at current market value. Investment securities held-to-maturity
increased by $5.0 million to $5.1 million at September 30, 1996 from $0.1
million at December 31, 1995. This increase was due to the purchase of $5.0
million of U. S. government agency securities during the nine months ended
September 30, 1996.
The increase in total assets was funded by an increase in customer
deposits of $19.8 million , or 13.8%, to $163.6 million at September 30, 1996
from $143.8 million at December 31, 1995. In addition, Federal Home Loan Bank
("FHLB") of Atlanta advances increased by $5.0 million to $9.0 million at
September 30, 1996. The advances from the FHLB of Atlanta at September 30,
1996 consisted of $7.0 million of advances which mature in one year or less
and $2.0 million of advances which mature in January, 1998.
The primary sources of funds for operations of the Bancorp include
principal repayments and sales of loans and mortgage-backed securities, new
savings deposits and borrowings. The Bancorp had outstanding commitments to
fund loans approximating $6.1 million at September 30, 1996, and commitments
to sell to others approximately $2.0 million of loans as of September 30,
1996. 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, interest or dividends on investments,
and other revenue associated with fees on deposit accounts and related
services. In the nine months ended September 30, 1996 the Bancorp's revenues
from other income increased by $139,000, or 20.2%, to $826,000 from $687,000
in the nine months ended September 30, 1995.

The Bancorp recorded net income of $520,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996, compared to $1.0 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995, a decrease of $480,000. Included in the net income for
the nine months ended September 30, 1996 is an after tax charge of $583,000
which represents the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's ("FDIC") special
assessment to capitalize the Savings Associations Insurance Fund ("SAIF").
Primary earnings per share were $0.32 and $0.63 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Weighted average shares of common
stock outstanding were 1,602,638 and 1,582,364 for the same periods in 1996
and 1995, respectively. As explained in footnote 6, in order to provide
consistency, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for
current and prior periods have been adjusted to give effect to a stock split
in February, 1995, a 10% stock dividend in July, 1995 and a 10% stock dividend
in July, 1996.
For the three months ended September 30, 1996, the Bancorp recorded a net
loss of $225,000 as compared to net income of $340,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 1995. The net loss for the three months ended September
30, 1996 includes an after tax charge of $583,000 which represents the FDIC's
special assessment to capitalize the SAIF. Primary earnings per share were
($0.14) and $0.21 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding were
1,628,291 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 and 1,603,877 for the
three months ended September 30, 1995.
Net interest income before provision for loan losses for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 was $5,066,000, an increase of $869,000, or 20.7%,
from $4,197,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995. The increase
resulted primarily from a growth in average interest-earning assets and an
increase in interest margin. Total interest-earning assets in the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 averaged $171.7 million as compared to $148.1 million
for the same period in 1995. For the nine months ended September 30, 1996,

for the nine months ended September 30, 1995. The yield on interest-earning
assets decreased by 3 basis points from 8.44% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 to 8.41% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The
cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased by 32 basis points to 4.75% for
the nine months ended September 30, 1996 from 5.07% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995.
For the three months ended September 30, 1996, net interest income before
provision for loan losses was $1,729,000 an increase of $228,000, or 15.2%,
from $1,501,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1995. This increase
resulted primarily from a growth in average interest-earning assets. Total
interest-earning assets in the three months ended September 30, 1996 averaged
$179.6 million as compared to $152.7 million in the three months ended
September 30, 1995. The interest rate spread was 3.60% for the three months
ended September 30, 1996 an increase of 6 basis points from 3.54% for the
three months ended September 30, 1995.
Total interest income increased by $1,450,000, or 15.5%, to $10,821,000
for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 from $9,371,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1995. This increase was primarily due to the
increase of $15.6 million in average loans receivable to $105.4 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 1996 from $89.8 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1995. The yield on average loans receivable for
the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was 9.71% a decrease of 8 basis
points from 9.79% for the nine months ended September 30, 1995. Mortgage-
backed securities averaged $56.6 million for the nine months ended September
30, 1996, an increase of $3.4 million from $53.2 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1995. The related yield was 6.28% unchanged from the nine
months ended September 30, 1995.
Total interest expense increased by $580,000, or 11.2%, to $5,755,000 for
the nine months ended September 30, 1996 from $5,175,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1995. Customer deposits averaged $156.0 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996, up $26.6 million from $129.4 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 1995. However, the average effective rate
paid on deposits decreased by 25 basis points to 4.71% in the 1996 period from
4.96% in the 1995 period. FHLB of Atlanta advances averaged $5.7 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 1996, a decrease of $1.1 million from
$6.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995. The average
effective rate paid on FHLB of Atlanta advances decreased to 5.82% for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 from 7.12% for the same period in 1995.
The provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
was $510,000, as compared to $110,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
1995. 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 economic conditions, changes in the nature and volume of lending and
past loan loss experience. During the nine months ended September 30, 1996,
the Bancorp's volume of nonresidential mortgages and commercial loans held in
portfolio increased by $8.5 million, or 17.4%. These loans tend to carry a
higher risk classification. Consequently, the Bancorp felt it prudent to
increase the provision for loan losses. 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, 1996 was $1.4
million or 1.4% of total loans receivable and 84.6% of nonperforming loans and
real estate owned.
Total other income for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was
$826,000 as compared to $687,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995,
an increase of $139,000. Fee income increased by $197,000 to $603,000 for
the nine months ended September 30, 1996 from $406,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1995. Fee income, consisting primarily of transaction
fees on deposit accounts, increased due to increased volume in these types of
accounts.
For the three months ended September 30, 1996, total other income was
$287,000 an increase of $26,000 as compared to $261,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 1995. Fee income increased by $108,000 to $245,000 for
the three months ended September 30, 1996 from $137,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 1995 reflecting the higher numbers of checking accounts
opened.
Total operating expense increased by $1,460,000 to $4,605,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 from $3,145,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995. Included in total operating expense for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 is $870,000 which represents the FDIC's special
assessment to capitalize the SAIF. Employee compensation and benefits
increased by $319,000, or 25.2%, reflecting the cost of opening two new
branches in April, 1995, opening one new branch in July, 1996, and personnel
and organization restructuring during the quarter ended June 30, 1996. Office
occupancy increased by $119,000, or 28.0%, and furniture and equipment, which
includes data processing costs, increased by $120,000, or 24.4% which
principally reflects the cost of opening two the new branches in April, 1995
and one new branch in July, 1996.
Other expenses decreased by $6,000 to $758,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 from $764,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995.
This decrease occurred primarily due to a decrease in real estate owned
expense from $60,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 to $6,000
for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. Included in other expenses for
the nine months ended September 30, 1996 is $90,000 which represents Virginia
franchise tax, no franchise tax was paid in the similar period ended September
30, 1995. Subsequent to the conversion to a Virginia commercial bank
effective December 1, 1995, the Bancorp's subsidiary bank became subject to
the Virginia franchise tax instead of the Virginia income tax.
For the three months ended September 30, 1996, total operating expense
increased by $994,000 to $2,161,000 from $1,167,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1995. The cost of deposit insurance increased by $880,000 to
$953,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 from $73,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 1995. This increase reflects the FDIC's
special assessment to capitalize the SAIF of $870,000. Employee compensation
and benefits increased by $83,000, office occupancy increased by $28,000, and
furniture and equipment increased by $56,000. These increases principally
reflect the cost of opening two new branches in April, 1995 and one new branch
in July, 1996.

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, non-interest expenses do not reflect
general levels of inflation.
