          Abigail Adams national Bancorp Reports first Quarter Earnings

Washington, DC - Abigail Adams National Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ:AANB),  the parent
holding  company  of The Adams  National  Bank,  reported  net  income of $818.3
thousand,  or $0.27  diluted  earnings per share for the quarter ended March 31,
2004, compared to net income of $818.7 thousand, or $0.27 for the quarter ending
December 31, 2003, and $902.5 thousand,  or $0.30 diluted earnings per share for
the first quarter 2003.

Net interest  income  increased  8.1% to $2.8  million for the first  quarter of
2004, as compared to the same period of 2003. The net interest margin was 5.39%,
5.16% and 5.61% for the quarters  ending  March 31, 2004,  December 31, 2003 and
March 31, 2003, respectively.

Earning  assets  have  increased  $12.2  million  over the past  twelve  months,
primarily  centered in commercial real estate lending growth of $6.7 million and
investment  securities of $6.1 million.  Demand deposits increased $10.2 million
or 21.4% over the same period, due to growing success in the commercial business
sector.

Noninterest  income,   excluding  investment  security  gains,  decreased  $64.7
thousand  or 12.7% for the  first  quarter  of 2004,  as  compared  to the first
quarter of 2003.

Noninterest  expense  increased  $261.7  thousand  or 16.8% for the first  three
months of 2004,  as compared to the same period in 2003,  due  primarily  to the
opening of an  additional  branch and increased  staffing,  as well as increased
benefit costs.  The efficiency  ratio,  which  measures  noninterest  expense to
noninterest  income plus net interest income,  was 55.39%, as compared to 54.19%
at December 31, 2003, and 49.65% at March 31, 2003.

The  allowance  for loan losses was 1.41% of total loans at the end of the first
quarter  of  2004  as   compared  to  1.56%  for  the  same  period  last  year.
Nonperforming  loans increased to 1.37% of total assets, as compared to 1.24% of
total  assets at December  31,  2003.  Over 55% of the  nonperforming  loans are
guaranteed by the SBA.

Ms. Carr,  President  and CEO,  states  "Asset  quality is a commitment at Adams
National Bank and we continue to be very  aggressive  in dealing with  potential
problem loans. This will be especially important in the future as our commercial
lending niche continues to be an important component of our relationship banking
strategy."
