General
Southern Financial Bancorp, Inc. (Southern Financial) is incorporated in
Virginia. On December 1, 1995, Southern Financial acquired all of the
outstanding shares of Southern Financial Bank. Southern Financial Bank, formerly
Southern Financial Federal Savings Bank, converted from a savings bank to a
state chartered commercial bank effective December 1, 1995. The only material
activity of Southern Financial is to own and control all of the capital stock of
Southern Financial Bank. References to Southern Financial include the activities
of Southern Financial Bank.
On October 1, 1999, Southern Financial completed its merger with the
Horizon Bank of Virginia ("Horizon"). The merger qualified as a tax-free
exchange and was accounted for as a pooling of interests. Southern Financial
issued 0.63 shares of its common stock for each share of Horizon stock
outstanding. A total of 1,045,523 shares (after adjustment for fractional
shares) of Southern Financial's common stock was issued as a result of the
merger. All financial statements and amounts have been restated due to the
merger.
Headquartered in Warrenton, Virginia, Southern Financial serves the retail
and commercial financial market as a deposit and loan specialist from 17 full
service offices located in Warrenton, Herndon, Middleburg, Winchester, Leesburg,
Fairfax, Sterling, Woodbridge, Manassas and Fredericksburg, Virginia. Southern
Financial's defined market area forms a semi-circle to the west of the
metropolitan Washington, D.C. area roughly centered on Warrenton. The counties
included in the defined market area where Southern Financial currently operates
branches include: Loudoun, Fauquier, Fairfax, Frederick and Prince William and
the cities of Fredericksburg and Winchester. Other counties in the defined
market area include: Spotsylvania, Culpeper, Rappahanock, Clarke and the three
counties in the West Virginia panhandle.
The inner ring of the semi-circle that comprises Southern Financial's
market area is the bedroom community for the close-in greater metropolitan
Washington commercial centers that have grown up in northern Virginia in the
past 30 years. As the economy of the metropolitan Washington area has
diversified away from its concentration in government and government-related
employment, the Dulles corridor has developed into a major center for
communication and high-tech activities. In the process, Reston, Herndon, Tysons
Corner and Fairfax have become important employment centers in their own right
much as Stamford, Connecticut and White Plains, New York have done outside
Manhattan. As a consequence, the commutable radius has pushed west out to
Loudoun and Fauquier Counties and south and southwest to Stafford, Spotsylvania
and Prince William Counties. The branch locations in these areas situate
Southern Financial to take advantage of the rapid economic growth of these
communities.
The principal business of Southern Financial is the acquisition of deposits
from the general public through its home and branch offices and use of these
deposits to fund its loan and investment portfolios. Southern Financial seeks to
be a full service community bank which provides a wide variety of financial
services to its middle market corporate clients as well as to its retail
clients. Southern Financial is an active commercial lender that often lends in
conjunction with the Small Business Administration 7(a) and 504 loan programs.
In addition, Southern Financial is an active residential construction lender and
offers its retail clients permanent residential mortgage loan alternatives.
Southern Financial also invests funds in mortgage-backed securities, securities
issued by agencies of the Federal Government, obligations of counties and
municipalities and corporate obligations.
The principal sources of funds for Southern Financial's lending and
investment activities are deposits, amortization and repayment of loans,
proceeds from the sales of loans, prepayments from mortgage-backed securities,
repayments of maturing investment securities, Federal Home Loan Bank advances
and other borrowed money.
Principal sources of revenue are interest and fees on loans and investment
securities and gains from the sale of loans, as well as fee income derived from
the maintenance of deposit accounts. Southern Financial's principal expenses
include interest paid on deposits and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank
and other borrowings, and operating expenses.
Lending Activities
Our lending focus and the composition of our loan portfolio have changed
dramatically since June 30, 1995. The growth of our loan portfolio and the
change in its composition reflects our growth strategy and the conversion of
Southern Financial Bank from a savings association to a commercial bank. On
December 31, 1995, residential mortgage loans represented 32% of gross loans. By
December 31, 1999, residential mortgage loans had declined to 20% of gross
loans. In contrast, commercial business loans and non-residential mortgage loans
were 15% and 32%, respectively, of gross loans at December 31, 1995. By December
31, 1999 they had grown to 23% and 47%, respectively, of gross loans.
Today, the principal lending activity of Southern Financial is the
origination of commercial mortgage and non-mortgage loans to small and medium-
sized businesses, including loans through various lending programs of the Small
Business Administration. Southern Financial is a Preferred Lender in the
Richmond District of Small Business Administration and a Certified Lender in the
Washington, D.C. District of Small Business Administration.
Southern Financial also makes residential mortgage loans, consumer loans
and construction loans.
Commercial Real Estate Lending
At December 31, 1999, commercial real estate loans totaled $118.1
million, of which $109.9 million were permanent loans and $8.3 million were
construction loans. Of Southern Financial's permanent commercial real estate
loans, $52.2 million were made under the Small Business Administration 7(a) and
504 loan programs. The Small Business Administration 7(a) and 504 loan programs
are economic development programs. The Small Business Administration in
cooperation with banks and other lending institutions, finances the expansion of
small businesses.
2
The 504 loan program is used to finance long-term fixed assets, primarily
real estate and large/heavy equipment. The 504 loan program is an economic
development program designed to create new jobs or retain existing jobs. The
credit structure of the 504 loan program gives borrowers access to 90% financing
for the project. Fifty percent is provided by the financial institution in the
form of a first lien position. Forty percent is provided by the certified
development company with a second lien position. The borrower provides the
remaining 10% of the funds required for the project. Of Southern Financial's
$109.9 million in permanent commercial real estate loans at December 31, 1999,
$49 million were 504 loans. During the year ended December 31, 1999, Southern
Financial originated $6.4 million in loans under the 504 loan program.
Small Business Administration 7(a) loans may be used for the purchase of
real estate, construction, renovation or leasehold improvements, as well as
machinery, equipment, furniture, fixtures, inventory, and in some instances,
working capital and debt refinancing. Start-up businesses are eligible. The
Small Business Administration guarantees up to 80% of the loan balance under the
7(a) program. At December 31, 1999, Southern Financial had $3.2 million in Small
Business Administration 7(a) permanent commercial real estate loans.
Southern Financial also offers an extensive array of commercial real estate
loans outside of Small Business Administration programs. These loans, which
totaled $57.6 million at December 31, 1999, serve both the investor and owner
occupied facility market. These loans are secured by real estate with loan-to-
values averaging less than 70%.
Southern Financial is involved in financing the construction phase of small
business projects prior to the project being approved by the Small Business
Administration. To a lesser extent, Southern Financial also provides commercial
construction financing for projects outside of the Small Business Administration
programs.
Commercial Business Lending
In general, commercial business loans involve somewhat more credit risk
than do residential mortgage loans and real estate backed commercial loans and,
therefore, usually yield a higher return to Southern Financial. The increased
credit risk for commercial business loans is due to the type of collateral
securing these loans. The increased risk also derives from the expectation that
commercial loans generally will be serviced principally from the business
operations conducted, and such operations may not be successful and, hence, may
lead to default on the loan. Historical trends have shown these types of loans
to have higher delinquencies than mortgage loans. Therefore, Southern Financial
utilizes the Small Business Administration 7(a) loan program to reduce the
inherent risk associated with this type of lending. At December 31, 1999,
Southern Financial had $54.2 million in commercial business loans, which
represent 23% of Southern Financial's total loans receivable. Of our $54.2
million in commercial business loans, 26% are Small Business Administration 7(a)
loans. During the year ended December 31, 1999, Southern Financial originated
and closed $13.9 million in loans under the Small Business Administration 7(a)
loan program and sold $9.1 million on the secondary market.
Residential Lending
Southern Financial makes fixed and adjustable rate, first mortgage loans
with terms up to 30 years. It offers second mortgages in conjunction with its
own first mortgages or those of other lenders. Southern Financial makes
construction loans and permanent loans on individual single family residences
and on other residential properties. Construction loans generally have interest
rates of prime plus one to two percent and fees of one to three points, loan-to-
value ratios of 80% or less based on current appraisals and terms of generally
nine months or less. In the case of conventional loans, Southern Financial
typically lends up to 80% of the appraised value of single-family residences.
Southern Financial requires private mortgage insurance for loans exceeding 80%
of the appraised value.
Residential mortgage loans are secured by single-family homes. At December
31, 1999, loans secured by residential property, both permanent and
construction, totaled $56.5 million, which represented approximately 24% of
total loans receivable. Approximately 20% of the total loans receivable
consisted of loans secured by permanent mortgages on one-to-four family
residential property.
Consumer Lending
Southern Financial offers various types of secured and unsecured consumer
loans. These loans are offered as a convenience to its customer base since these
products are not the focus of Southern Financial's lending activities. At
December 31, 1999, Southern Financial had $10 million in consumer loans which
represents 4% of the total loans receivable.
Income from Lending Activities
Interest on loans, gains on sale of loans, and loan fees and service
charges amounted to approximately 66% of Southern Financial's total revenue for
the year ended December 31, 1999. Income from loan origination fees and other
fees are sources of income which vary with the volume and type of loans and
commitments made and with competitive and economic conditions.

Loan Underwriting Policies
Because future loan losses are so closely intertwined with its associated
underwriting policy, Southern Financial has instituted what it believes is a
stringent loan underwriting policy. Its underwriting guidelines are tailored for
particular credit types, including lines of credit, revolving credit facilities,
demand loans, term loans, equipment loans, real estate loans, Small Business
Administration loans, stand-by letters of credit and unsecured loans.
4
More specifically, it is Southern Financial's policy to encourage all loan
applicants for sound and lawful purposes, regardless of race, religion or creed.
Extensions of credit will be made if the criteria of creditworthiness,
likelihood of repayment and proximity to market areas served indicate that such
extensions of credit will provide acceptable profitability to the Bancorp.
Detailed loan applications are obtained to determine the borrower's ability
to repay, and the more significant items on these applications are verified
through the use of credit reports, financial statements and confirmations. All
property valuations are performed by independent outside appraisers who are
reviewed by the Executive Vice President of Risk Management who reports his
findings annually to Southern Financial's Credit Committee.
It is Southern Financial's policy to retain a mortgage creating a valid
lien on real estate and to obtain a title insurance policy that insures the
property is free of encumbrances. Also required from the borrower is hazard
insurance, and flood insurance is required if the property is in a flood plain
as designated by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Most
borrowers are also required to advance funds on a monthly basis from which
Southern Financial makes disbursements for items such as real estate taxes,
private mortgage insurance and hazard insurance.
The aggregate amount of loans that Southern Financial may make to one
borrower is limited to 15% of Southern Financial's unimpaired capital and
surplus. The maximum amount of loans that Southern Financial could have made to
one borrower as of December 31, 1999 was approximately $4.3 million based on 15%
of its unimpaired capital and surplus. As of December 31, 1999, the largest
aggregate amount of such loans by Southern Financial to any one borrower was
$3.5 million.
Interest rates charged by Southern Financial are affected primarily by
competitive market factors. These factors include general economic conditions,
monetary policies of the Federal Reserve Bank, legislative tax policies and
government budgetary matters.
The Credit Committee of the Board, which consists of three outside members
of the board of directors and the Chief Executive Officer, is responsible for
the qualitative review of the loan portfolio and for assuring compliance with
all of the board's policies and procedures as well as all applicable state and
federal laws, rules and regulations.
Southern Financial has a standing credit committee comprised of officers,
in which the members have defined lending authorities as individuals and in
combination. These individual lending authorities are determined by the Chief
Executive Officer and approved by the Board based on the individual's technical
ability and must be agreed to by the Credit Committee. All authorities are
reviewed and approved by the full board of directors.
When a borrower fails to make a required payment, Southern Financial
attempts to cause the deficiency to be cured by contacting the borrower. After
17 days, a reminder notice is sent indicating that a late charge has been
levied. After 30 days delinquency, the borrower is contacted by phone and
responses are documented. After 90 days, if the loan has not been brought
current or an acceptable arrangement is not worked out with the borrower,
Southern Financial will institute measures to remedy the default, including
commencing foreclosure action with respect to mortgage loans and repossessions
of collateral in the case of consumer loans.
If foreclosure is effected, the property is sold at a public auction in
which Southern Financial may participate as a bidder. If Southern Financial is
the successful bidder, the acquired real estate property is then included in its
real estate owned account until it is sold. Such assets are carried at the
lower of cost or fair value net of estimated selling costs. To the extent there
is a decline in value, that amount is charged to operating expense.

(1) Includes portion guaranteed by the Small Business Administration.
Southern Financial's loss and delinquency experience on its
residential real estate loan portfolio has been limited by a number of factors,
including its underwriting standards. Whether Southern Financial's loss and
delinquency experience will increase significantly depends upon the value of the
real estate securing its loans, economic factors such as an increase in
unemployment as well as the overall economy of the region. As a result of
economic conditions and other factors beyond its control, Southern Financial's
future loss and delinquency experience cannot be accurately predicted. However,
management has provided an allowance for loan losses which it believes will be
adequate to absorb inherent losses.
At December 31, 1999, loans totaling $3 million were classified as
potential problem loans that are not reported in the table above. The loans are
subject to management attention and their classification is reviewed on a
quarterly basis. At December 31, 1999, all of the potential problem loans were
adequately secured in the opinion of management.
Allowance for Loan Losses
Management evaluates the adequacy of the allowance at least quarterly.
As a result of that process, loans are categorized as to doubtful, substandard
and/or special mention. Each quarter the Board of Directors considers a review
of the loans in Southern Financial's portfolio, conducts an evaluation of the
credit quality and reviews the adequacy of the loan loss provision, recommending
changes as may from time to time be required. In establishing the appropriate
classification for specific assets, management takes into account, among other
factors, the estimated value of the underlying collateral, the borrower's
ability to repay, the borrower's
6
payment history and the current delinquent status. The remaining loan portfolio
is evaluated for potential loss exposure by examining the growth and composition
of the portfolio, previous loss experience, current delinquency levels, industry
concentration and the general economic condition.
The allowance for loan losses represents management's estimate of an
amount adequate to provide for losses inherent in the loan portfolio in the
normal course of business. However, there are additional risks of future losses
that cannot be quantified precisely or attributed to particular loans or classes
of loans. Because those risks include general economic trends as well as
conditions affecting individual borrowers, management's judgement of the
allowance necessary is approximate. Southern Financial performs a detailed loan
review, including an assessment of the adequacy of the allowance for loan
losses. The allowance is also subject to regulatory examinations and
determination as to the adequacy of the allowance in comparison to peer
institutions identified by the regulatory agencies.
The following table summarizes activity in Southern Financial's
allowance for loan losses during the periods indicated:

Southern Financial has allocated the allowance according to the amount
deemed to be reasonably necessary to provide for losses being incurred within
each of the above categories of loans. These figures are based on gross loans.
The allocation of the allowances as shown in the table above should not be
interpreted as an indication that loan losses in future years will occur in the
same proportions or that the allocation indicates future loan loss trends.
Furthermore, the portion allocated to each loan category is not the total amount
available for losses within such categories since the total allowance is a
general allowance applicable to the entire portfolio.

Regulation
Set forth below is a brief description of the material laws and regulations
that affect Southern Financial. The description of these laws and regulations,
as well as descriptions of laws and regulations contained elsewhere herein, is
not necessarily complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to these
laws and regulations.
General
Southern Financial is a bank holding company within the meaning of the Bank
Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. As such, Southern Financial is
supervised by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Southern
Financial is also subject to Virginia laws that regulate banks and bank holding
companies. Virginia's banking laws are administered by the Bureau of Financial
Institutions of the State Corporation Commission of Virginia. Southern
Financial is also affected by rules and regulations of the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation. Southern Financial is a member of the Federal Reserve
System and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta. The various laws and
regulations administered by the regulatory agencies affect corporate practices,
expansion of business, and provisions of services. Also, monetary and fiscal
policies of the United States directly affect bank loans and deposits and thus
may affect Southern Financial's earnings. The future impact of these policies
and of the continuing regulatory changes in the financial services industry
cannot be predicted.
The supervision, regulation and examination of Southern Financial Bank are
intended primarily for the protection of depositors rather than holders of
Southern Financial common stock.
Bank Holding Company Regulation
Southern Financial is required to file with the Federal Reserve its
periodic reports and any additional information the Federal Reserve may require.
The Federal Reserve examines Southern Financial and may examine its
subsidiaries. The State Corporation Commission also may examine Southern
Financial.
The Bank Holding Company Act requires prior Federal Reserve approval for,
among other things, the acquisition of direct or indirect ownership or control
of more than 5% of the voting shares or substantially all of the assets of any
bank, or a merger or consolidation of a bank holding company with another bank
holding company. A bank holding company may acquire direct or indirect ownership
or control of voting shares of any company that is engaged directly or
indirectly in banking or managing or controlling banks or performing services
for its authorized subsidiaries. A bank holding company also may engage in or
acquire an interest in a company that engages in activities which the Federal
Reserve has determined by regulation or order to be so closely related to
banking as to be a proper incident thereto.
The activities permissible to bank holding companies and their affiliates
were substantially expanded by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which the President
signed on November 12, 1999. Gramm-Leach-Bliley repeals the anti-affiliation
provisions of the Glass-Steagall Act to permit the common ownership of
commercial banks, investment banks and insurance companies. Under Gramm-Leach-
Bliley, a bank holding company can elect to be treated as a financial holding
company. A financial holding company may engage in any activity and acquire and
retain any company that the Federal Reserve determines to be financial in
nature. A financial holding company also may engage in any activity that is
complementary to a financial activity and does not pose a substantial risk to
the safety and soundness of depository institutions or the financial system
generally. The Federal Reserve must consult with the Secretary of the Treasury
in determining whether an activity is financial in nature or incidental to a
financial activity.
Southern Financial is a legal entity separate and distinct from Southern
Financial Bank. Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act restricts loans from
Southern Financial Bank to Southern Financial. Section 23A defines "covered
transactions," which include loans, and limits a bank's covered transactions
with any affiliate to 10% of the bank's capital and surplus. It also requires
that all of a bank's loans to an affiliate be secured by acceptable collateral,
generally United States government or agency securities. Southern Financial and
Southern Financial Bank also are subject to Section 23B of the Federal Reserve
Act, which requires that transactions between Southern Financial Bank and
Southern Financial or its other subsidiaries be on terms and under
circumstances, including credit standards, that are substantially the same or at
least as favorable to Southern Financial Bank as those prevailing at the time
for transactions with unaffiliated companies.
Federal Reserve policy requires a bank holding company to act as a source
of financial strength and to take measures to preserve and protect bank
subsidiaries in situations where additional investments in a troubled bank may
not otherwise be warranted. As a result, a bank holding company may be required
to lend money to its subsidiaries in the form of capital notes or other
instruments which qualify as capital under regulatory rules. Any loans from the
holding company to such subsidiary banks likely will be unsecured and
subordinated to such bank's depositors and perhaps to other creditors of its
bank subsidiaries.
Bank Supervision
As a Virginia bank that is a member of the Federal Reserve System, Southern
Financial Bank is regulated and examined by the State Corporation Commission and
by its primary federal regulator, the Federal Reserve. The State Corporation
Commission and the Federal Reserve regulate and monitor all of Southern
Financial Bank's operations, including reserves, loans, mortgages, payments of
dividends and the establishment of branches.
Various statutes limit the ability of Southern Financial Bank to pay
dividends, extend credit or otherwise supply funds to Southern Financial and its
non-bank subsidiaries. Dividends from Southern Financial Bank are expected to
constitute Southern Financial's major source of funds.
11
Regulatory Capital Requirements
All banks are required to maintain minimum levels of regulatory capital.
The federal bank regulatory agencies have established substantially similar
risked based and leverage capital standards for banks that they regulate. These
regulatory agencies also may impose capital requirements in excess of these
standards on a case-by-case basis for various reasons, including financial
condition or actual or anticipated growth. Under the risk-based capital
requirements of these regulatory agencies, Southern Financial and Southern
Financial Bank are required to maintain a minimum ratio of total capital to
risk-weighted assets of at least 8%. At least half of the total capital is
required to be tier 1 capital, which consists principally of common and certain
qualifying preferred shareholders' equity, less certain intangibles and other
adjustments. The remainder, tier 2 capital, consists of a limited amount of
subordinated and other qualifying debt and a limited amount of the general loan
loss allowance. Based upon the applicable Federal Reserve regulations, at
December 31, 1999, Southern Financial Bank was considered to be "well
capitalized."
In addition, the federal regulatory agencies have established a minimum
leverage capital ratio, tier 1 capital divided by tangible assets. These
guidelines provide for a minimum leverage capital ratio of 3% for banks and
their respective holding companies that meet certain specified criteria,
including that they have the highest regulatory examination rating and are not
contemplating significant growth or expansion. All other institutions are
expected to maintain a leverage ratio of at least 100 to 200 basis points above
that minimum. The guidelines also provide that banking organizations
experiencing internal growth or making acquisitions will be expected to maintain
strong capital positions substantially above the minimum supervisory levels,
without significant reliance on intangible assets.
Limits on Dividends and Other Payments
Virginia law restricts distributions of dividends to shareholders of
Southern Financial. Southern Financial shareholders are entitled to receive
dividends as declared by the Southern Financial Board of Directors. No
distribution to Southern Financial shareholders may be made if, after giving
effect to the distribution, Southern Financial would not be able to pay its
debts as they become due in the usual course of business or its total assets
would be less than its total liabilities. There are similar restrictions on
stock repurchases and redemptions.
Banks have limits on all capital distributions, including cash dividends,
payments to repurchase or otherwise acquire shares, payments to shareholders of
another institution in a cash-out merger, and other distributions charged
against capital. As of December 31, 1999, Southern Financial Bank had the
capacity to pay no more than $5.2 million in total dividends to its sole
shareholder, Southern Financial.
Southern Financial Bank may not make a capital distribution, including the
payment of a dividend, if, after the distribution, it would become
undercapitalized. The prior approval of the applicable Federal Reserve Bank is
required if the total of all dividends declared in any calendar year will exceed
the sum of the bank's net profits for that year and its retained net profits for
the preceding two calendar years. Federal Reserve Banks also may limit the
payment of dividends by any state member bank if it considers the payment an
unsafe or unsound practice. In addition, under Virginia law no dividend may be
declared or paid that would impair a Virginia chartered bank's paid-in capital.
The State Corporation Commission has general authority to prohibit payment of
dividends by a Virginia chartered bank if it determines that the limit is in the
public interest and is necessary to ensure the bank's financial soundness.
FDIC Regulations
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvements Act of 1991 required
each federal banking agency to revise its risk-based capital standards to ensure
that those standards take adequate account of interest rate risk, concentration
of credit risk and the risks of non-traditional activities. Each federal banking
agency has issued regulations, specifying the levels at which a financial
institution would be considered "well capitalized", "adequately capitalized",
"under capitalized", "significantly under capitalized", or "critically under
capitalized", and to take certain mandatory and discretionary supervisory
actions based on the capital level of the institution. Those supervisory actions
become increasingly severe for banks that are under-capitalized or worse.
Under the Federal Reserve's regulations implementing the prompt corrective
action provisions, an institution is considered well capitalized if it has total
risk-based capital of 10% or more, has a tier I risk-based capital ratio of 6%
or more, has a leverage capital ratio of 5% or more and is not subject to any
order or final capital directive to meet and maintain a specific capital level
for any capital measure.
An adequately capitalized institution has a total risk-based capital ratio
of 8% or more, a tier I risk-based ratio of 4% or more and a leverage capital
ratio of 4% or more (3% under certain circumstances) and does not meet the
definition of well capitalized.
An undercapitalized institution has a total risk-based capital ratio that
is less than 8%, a tier I risk-based capital ratio that is less than 4% or a
leverage capital ratio that is less than 4% (3% in certain circumstances).
Undercapitalized banks are subject to growth limits and are required to submit a
capital restoration plan for approval. For a capital restoration plan to be
acceptable, the bank's parent holding company must guarantee that the bank will
comply with the capital restoration plan. The aggregate liability of the parent
holding company is limited to the lesser of 5% of the bank's total assets at the
time it became undercapitalized and the amount necessary to bring the
institution into compliance with applicable capital standards. If a bank fails
to submit an acceptable plan, it is treated as if it is significantly
undercapitalized. If the controlling holding company fails to fulfill its
obligations and files (or has filed against it) a petition under the federal
Bankruptcy Code, the claim would be entitled to a priority in such bankruptcy
proceeding over third-party creditors of Southern Financial.
A significantly undercapitalized institution has a total risk-based capital
ratio that is less than 6%, a tier I risk-based capital ratio that is less than
3% or a leverage capital ratio that is less than 3%.Significantly
undercapitalized depository institutions may be subject to a number of
requirements and restrictions, including orders to sell sufficient voting stock
to become adequately capitalized, requirements to reduce total assets, and
cessation of receipt of deposits from correspondent banks.
A critically undercapitalized institution has a ratio of tangible equity to
total assets that is equal to or less than 2%. A critically undercapitalized
bank
12
is likely to be put in receivership and liquidated.
In addition, under certain circumstances, a federal banking agency may
reclassify a well capitalized institution as adequately capitalized and may
require an adequately capitalized institution or an undercapitalized institution
to comply with supervisory actions as if it were in the next lower category.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvements Act also required
federal banking regulators to draft standards in a number of other important
areas to assure bank safety and soundness, including internal controls,
information systems and internal audit systems, credit underwriting, asset
growth, compensation, loan documentation and interest rate exposure. The Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvements Act also required the regulators to
establish maximum ratios of classified assets to capital, and minimum earnings
sufficient to absorb losses without impairing capital. The legislation also
contained other provisions which restricted the activities of state-chartered
banks, amended various consumer banking laws, limited the ability of
undercapitalized banks to borrow from the Federal Reserve's discount window and
required federal banking regulators to perform annual onsite bank examinations.
The 1991 legislation also contains a variety of other provisions that may
affect the operations of Southern Financial and Southern Financial Bank,
including new reporting requirements, regulatory standards for estate lending,
"truth in savings" provisions, the requirement that a depository institution
give 90 days' prior notice to customers and regulatory authorities before
closing any branch, and a prohibition on the acceptance or renewal of brokered
deposits by depository institutions that are not well capitalized or are
adequately capitalized and have not received a waiver from the FDIC.
Deposit Insurance
The deposits of Southern Financial Bank are currently insured to a maximum
of $100,000 per depositor, subject to certain aggregation rules. The FDIC has
implemented a risk-related assessment system for deposit insurance premiums. All
depository institutions have been assigned to one of nine risk assessment
classifications based on certain capital and supervisory measures. Southern
Financial's deposits are subject to the rates of the Savings Associations
Insurance Fund since Southern Financial converted to a commercial bank from a
federal savings bank on December 1, 1995. Based on its current risk
classifications, Southern Financial pays the minimum Savings Associations
Insurance Fund assessment and Bank Insurance Fund assessments.
Community Reinvestment Act
Southern Financial and Southern Financial Bank are subject to the
provisions of the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977, as amended ("CRA"). Under
the Community Reinvestment Act, all banks have an obligation, consistent with
its safe and sound operation, to help meet the credit needs for their entire
communities, including low and moderate-income neighborhoods. The Community
Reinvestment Act does not establish specific lending requirements or programs
for financial institutions, nor does it limit an institution's discretion to
develop the types of products and services that it believes are best suited to
its particular community consistent with the Community Reinvestment Act. A
depository institution's primary federal regulator, in connection with its
examination of the institution, must assess the institution's record in
assessing and meeting the credit needs of the community served by that
institution, including low and moderate-income neighborhoods. The regulatory
agency's assessment of the institution's record is made available to the public.
Further, such assessment is required of any institution which has applied to
charter a national bank, obtain deposit insurance coverage for a newly chartered
institution, establish a new branch office that accepts deposits, relocate an
office or merge or consolidate with, or acquire the assets or assume the
liabilities of, a federally regulated financial institution. If a bank holding
company applies for approval to acquire a bank or other bank holding company,
the Federal Reserve will assess the records of each subsidiary depository
institution of the applicant bank holding company, and such records may be the
basis for denying the application. Following the most recent Community
Reinvestment Act examination in February 1999, Southern Financial Bank received
a "satisfactory" Community Reinvestment Act rating.
Fiscal and Monetary Policy
Banking is a business which depends on interest rate differentials. In
general, the difference between the interest paid by a bank on its deposits and
its other borrowings, and the interest received by a bank on its loans and
securities holdings, constitutes the major portion of a bank's earnings. Thus,
the earnings and growth of Southern Financial and Southern Financial Bank will
be subject to the influence of economic conditions generally, both domestic and
foreign, and also to the monetary and fiscal policies of the United States and
its agencies, particularly the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve regulates
the supply of money through various means, including open market dealings in
United States government securities, the discount rate at which banks may borrow
from the Federal Reserve, and the reserve requirements on deposits. The nature
and timing of any changes in such policies and their effect on Southern
Financial and Southern Financial Bank cannot be predicted.
Federal Home Loan Bank System
Southern Financial is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System, which
consists of 12 district Federal Home Loan Banks with each subject to supervision
and regulation by the Federal Housing Finance Board. The Federal Home Loan Banks
provide a central credit facility for member institutions. Southern Financial,
as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, is required to acquire and
hold shares of capital stock in that Federal Home Loan Bank in an amount equal
to at least 1% of the aggregate principal amount of their unpaid residential
mortgage loans, home purchase contracts and similar obligations at the beginning
of each year, or 5% of their borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of
Atlanta, whichever is greater. At December 31, 1999, Southern Financial had an
investment of $1.8 million in the stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta
and was in compliance with these requirements.
Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta are secured. Interest
rates charged for advances vary depending upon maturity, the cost of funds to
the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta and the purpose of the borrowing. At
December 31, 1999, Southern Financial had $5 million outstanding in borrowings
from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta.
13
Federal Reserve System
The Federal Reserve Board of Governors requires all depository institutions
to maintain reserves against their transaction accounts and non-personal time
deposits. Because required reserves must be maintained in the form of vault cash
or a noninterest-bearing account at a Federal Reserve Bank, the effect of this
reserve requirement is to reduce the earning assets of Southern Financial.
Competition
Southern Financial experiences substantial competition in attracting and
retaining savings deposits and in lending funds. The primary factors in
competing for savings deposits are convenient office locations and rates
offered. Direct competition for savings deposits comes from other commercial
banks and thrift institutions. Additional significant competition for savings
deposits comes from money market mutual funds and corporate and government
securities which may yield more attractive interest rates than insured
depository institutions are willing to pay. The primary factors in competing for
loans are interest rate and loan origination fees and the range of services
offered. Competition for origination of real estate loans normally comes from
other commercial banks, thrift institutions, mortgage bankers, mortgage brokers
and insurance companies.
Employees
At December 31, 1999, Southern Financial employed 144 full-time equivalent
persons. Management considers its relations with its employees to be good. The
employees are not covered by a collective bargaining agreement.

Independent Auditors' Report
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
The Horizon Bank of Virginia
Merrifield, Virginia
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of The Horizon Bank of
Virginia as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the related statements of
operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years
then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Corporation's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
an all material respects, the financial position of The Horizon Bank of
Virginia as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the years ended in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
