PART I

Item 1.		Business.

General

     Abigail Adams National Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Delaware-chartered bank holding company which conducts business through its two wholly-owned bank subsidiaries, The Adams National Bank (“ANB”) and Consolidated Bank & Trust Company (“CBT”) (collectively, the “Banks”). ANB serves the nation’s capital through six full-service offices located in Washington, D.C. and Maryland. CBT serves the Richmond and Hampton, Virginia market areas through three full service offices. The Company is subject to regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve Board”) and ANB is regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. CBT is regulated by the Federal Reserve Board and the Bureau of Financial Institutions of the Commonwealth of Virginia (“Bureau of Financial Institutions”). The Company’s assets consist primarily of its ownership in the shares of the Banks’ common stock and cash it receives from the Banks in the form of dividends or other capital distributions. At December 31, 2007, the Company had consolidated assets of $445.9 million, deposits of $386.9 million and shareholders’ equity of $31.4 million. Each of the Banks exceed all applicable regulatory capital requirements. See “Supervision and Regulation.”

     ANB was founded in 1977 as a national bank. CBT was founded in 1903 as a Virginia chartered commercial bank that is a member of the Federal Reserve System. Both Banks’ deposits are federally insured to the maximum amount permitted by law.

     On July 29, 2005, the Company acquired CBT as a wholly-owned subsidiary by an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated February 10, 2005 for approximately $3.0 million. Pursuant to the agreement, CBT shareholders received 0.534 shares of Company common stock for each of their CBT shares.

     The executive office of the Company is located at 1130 Connecticut Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036. The telephone number is (202) 772-3600.

Market Area

     The Banks draw most of their customer deposits and conduct most of their lending activities from and within the Washington, D.C. metropolitan region, including suburban Virginia and Maryland along with Richmond and Hampton, Virginia. The Washington, D.C. and Richmond metropolitan markets attract a significant number of businesses of all sizes, professional corporations and national nonprofit organizations. The Banks actively solicit banking relationships with these firms and organizations, as well as their professional staff, and with the significant population of high net worth individuals who live and work in these regions.

Services of the Bank

     The Banks are community-oriented financial institutions offering a full range of banking services to their customers. The Banks attract deposits from the general public and historically have used such deposits, together with other funds to provide a broad level of commercial and retail banking services in Washington, D.C., Richmond, Hampton and the surrounding communities.

     The services offered by the Banks can be broadly characterized as being commercial or retail in nature. Commercial services offered by the Banks include offering a variety of commercial real estate and commercial business loans, cash management services, letters of credit and collateralized repurchase agreements. Commercial business loans are typically made on a secured basis to corporations, partnerships and individual businesses. To a lesser extent, the Banks offer consumer loans to their retail customers. The Banks’ retail banking services also include a variety of deposit account products including transaction accounts, money market accounts, certificates of deposit and Individual Retirement Accounts. The Banks use funds they have on hand, as well as borrowings, in order to fund their lending and investment activities.

     The Banks have automated teller machine access to the STAR, AMEX, PLUS and CIRRUS systems. The Banks offer their customers traditional on-line banking services and 24 hour telephone banking.

Lending Activities

     The Banks provide a range of commercial and retail lending services to individuals, small to medium-sized businesses, professional corporations, nonprofit organizations and other organizations. These services include, but are not limited to, commercial business loans, commercial real estate loans, renovation and mortgage loans, SBA loans, loan participations, consumer loans, revolving lines of credit and letters of credit. Consumer lending primarily consists of personal loans made on a direct, secured basis. Real estate loans are originated primarily for commercial purposes. To a lesser extent, the Banks originate construction loans. The Banks offer loans which have fixed rates, as well as loans with rates which adjust periodically. At December 31, 2007, approximately $98.9 million or 32.1% of the Banks’ total loan portfolio consisted of loans with adjustable rates.

     The Banks provide financing to nonprofit organizations for construction and renovation of local headquarters, working capital lines of credit and equipment financing. Current nonprofit customers of the Banks include organizations which focus on issues relating to children’s rights, community housing, religion, education and health care.

     Commercial and real estate lending is performed by the ANB and CBT Lending Divisions, which are comprised of 15 loan officers, 11 of which are ANB loan officers. The loan support staff includes the Loan Operations and Administration staff of 17, who are responsible for preparing loan documents, recording and processing new loans and loan payments, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements, and working with the Lending Divisions, in order to ensure the timely receipt of all initial and ongoing loan documentation and the prompt reporting of any exceptions. Credit analysis on loans is performed by the individual loan officers, using a credit analysis computer program, which provides not only the flexibility necessary to analyze loans but also the structure to ensure that all documentation requirements are appropriately met.

     Policies and procedures have been established by the Banks to promote safe and sound lending. ANB’s loan officers have individual lending authorities based on the individual’s seniority and experience. Loans in excess of individual officers’ lending limits are presented to the Officers’ Loan Committee (“OLC”), which meets weekly, and is comprised of all loan officers and the President. The President of ANB has authority to approve unsecured loans up to $1.0 million and secured loans up to $2.0 million. The OLC of ANB has authority to approve unsecured loans up to $1.0 million and secured loans up to $2.0 million. Loans over $1.0 million on an unsecured basis and over $2.0 million on a secured basis are brought to the Directors’ Loan Committee (“DLC”) of ANB, which meets approximately twice per month. The DLC of ANB is comprised of six outside directors. In addition to approving new loans, these Committees approve renewals, modifications and extensions of existing loans and reviews past due problem loans.

     The DLC of CBT is comprised of four out of seven outside directors and has authority to approve unsecured and secured loans greater than $500,000, up to the legal lending limit. The OLC has the authority to approve unsecured and secured loans up to $500,000. Additionally, the Vice President of Credit Administration has authority to approve unsecured and secured loans up to $100,000. The DLC of CBT meets approximately twice per month.

     For further information regarding the Banks’ loan portfolio composition, See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Financial Condition” in the Annual Report to Shareholders filed as Exhibit 13 to the Annual Report on Form 10-K and Note 5 to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Commercial Business Lending

     The Banks provide a wide range of commercial business loans, including lines of credit for working capital purposes and term loans for the acquisition of equipment and other purposes. In most cases, the Banks have collateralized these loans and/or taken personal guarantees to help assure repayment. Collateral for these loans generally includes accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and real estate. Terms of commercial business loans generally range from one year to five years. These loans often require that borrowers maintain deposits with the Banks as compensating balances. Commercial business lending generally involves greater risk than residential mortgage lending and involves risks that are different from those associated with residential, commercial and multi-family real estate lending. Although commercial business loans are often collateralized by real estate, equipment, inventory, accounts receivable or other business assets, the liquidation of collateral in the event of a borrower default is often not a sufficient source of repayment, because accounts receivable may be uncollectible and inventories and equipment may be obsolete or of limited use. The primary repayment risk for commercial loans is the failure of the business due to economic or financial factors. As of December 31, 2007, commercial loans totaled $38.6 million, the largest of which had a principal balance of $4.0 million, and at December 31, 2007 was performing in accordance with its terms.

     The Banks also offer Small Business Administration (“SBA”) guaranteed loans, which provide better terms and more flexible repayment schedules than conventional financing. SBA loans are guaranteed up to a maximum of 85% of the loan’s balance. As lending requirements of small businesses grow to exceed either Bank’s lending limit, the Banks have the ability to sell participations in these larger loans to other financial institutions on a servicing retained basis. The Banks believe that such participations will help to preserve lending relationships while providing a high level of customer service. At December 31, 2007, SBA-guaranteed loans totaled $4.6 million.

Real Estate Lending

     At December 31, 2007, the Banks’ real estate loan portfolio consisted of commercial real estate mortgages totaling $128.3 million, and residential real estate mortgages totaling $67.4 million. Commercial real estate loans are generally for terms of five years and amortize over a 15- and 25-year period. Commercial real estate loans are generally originated in amounts up to 80% loan to value of the underlying collateral. In underwriting commercial real estate loans, the Banks consider the borrower’s overall creditworthiness and capacity to service debt, secondary sources or repayment and any additional collateral or credit enhancements. Our largest commercial real estate loan had a principal balance of $3.7 million at December 31, 2007 and was secured by a first deed of trust. At December 31, 2007 this loan was performing in accordance with its terms.

     Residential real estate loans are generally originated for terms of five years, amortize over a 25 year period, with a balloon payment at the term end. Residential real estate loans are generally originated in amounts up to 80% loan to value of the underlying collateral. Our largest residential real estate loan had a principal balance of $4.3 million at December 31, 2007. At December 31, 2007 this loan was performing in accordance with its terms. The underwriting for a residential real estate loan is the same as for a commercial real estate loan.

     The majority of the $70.8 million in construction and land development loans at December 31, 2007 are primarily for construction and renovation of commercial real estate properties. Construction financing generally is considered to involve a higher degree of risk of loss than long-term financing on improved, occupied real estate. Multi-family and commercial real estate lending involves significant additional risks, as compared to one- to four-family residential lending. For example, such loans typically involve large loans to single borrowers or related borrowers. The payment experience on such loans is typically dependent on the successful operation of the project, and these risks can be significantly affected by the supply and demand conditions in the market for commercial property and multi-family residential units. To minimize these risks, the Banks limit the aggregate amount of outstanding construction loans to one borrower, and generally make such loans only in their market area and to borrowers with which the Banks have substantial experience or who are otherwise well known to the Banks. It is the Banks’ current practice to obtain personal guarantees and current financial statements from all principals obtaining commercial real estate loans. The Banks also obtain appraisals on each property in accordance with applicable regulations.

Consumer Lending

     The Banks’ consumer lending includes loans for motor vehicles, and small personal credit lines. Consumer loans generally involve more risk than residential real estate mortgage and commercial real estate loans. Repossessed collateral for a defaulted loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance as a result of damage, loss or depreciation, and the remaining deficiency often does not warrant further substantial collection efforts against the borrower. In addition, loan collections are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability. Further, the application of various federal and state laws, including federal and state bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount which can be recovered. In underwriting consumer loans, the Banks consider the borrower’s credit history, an analysis of the borrower’s income, expenses and ability to repay the loan and the value of the collateral. At December 31, 2007, consumer loans totaled $2.7 million.

Delinquencies and Classified Assets

      Collection Procedures. Outstanding loans are reviewed on a weekly basis. When a loan becomes 10 days past due, loan officers attempt to contact the borrower. Generally, loans that are 30 days delinquent will receive a default notice from the Banks. With respect to consumer loans, the Banks will commence efforts to repossess the collateral after the loan becomes 30 days delinquent. Generally, after 90 days the Banks will commence legal action.

      Loans Past Due and Nonperforming Assets . Loans are reviewed on a regular basis and are placed on nonaccrual status when, in the opinion of management, the collection of additional interest is doubtful. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when either principal or interest is 90 days or more past due. Interest accrued and unpaid at the time a loan is placed on a nonaccrual status is reversed from interest income. At December 31, 2007, the Banks had nonperforming assets of $12.3 million and a ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets of 2.76%.

      Allowance for Loan Losses . The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses based on management’s evaluation of the risk inherent in the loan portfolio and current economic conditions. Such evaluation also includes a review of all loans on which full collectibility may not be reasonably assured, including among other matters, the estimated net realizable value or the fair value of the underlying collateral, economic conditions, historical loan loss experience, geographic concentrations and other factors that warrant recognition in providing for an adequate loan loss allowance. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Banks’ allowance for loan losses and valuation of other real estate owned. Such agencies may require us to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgment about information available to them at the time of their examination. At December 31, 2007, the total allowance was $4.2 million, which amounted to 1.37% of total loans and 34.17% of nonperforming assets. Management considers whether the allowance should be adjusted to protect against risks in the loan portfolio. Management will continue to monitor and modify the level of the allowance for loan losses in order to maintain it at a level which management considers adequate to provide for probable loan losses.

      Allocation of Allowance for Loan Losses. The following table sets forth the allocation of allowance for loan losses by loan category for the periods indicated. Management believes that the allowance can be allocated by category only on an approximate basis. The allocation of the allowance by category is not necessarily indicative of future losses and does not restrict the use of the allowance to absorb losses in any category.

     For the year ended December 31, 2007, gross interest income which would have been recorded had the nonaccruing loans of $8.8 million been current in accordance with their original terms amounted to $649,000. We did not include any interest income on such loans for the year ended December 31, 2007.

     The Banks’ investment portfolio consists of obligations of U.S. Government sponsored agencies and corporations, U.S. Treasuries, mortgage-backed securities, corporate debt securities, and marketable equity securities. At December 31, 2007, investment securities totaled $79.7 million of which $66.4 million were classified as available for sale. Total investment securities classified as held to maturity were $13.3 million at December 31, 2007.

Deposits

     The Banks offer a variety of deposit accounts with a range of interest rates and terms. The flow of deposits is influenced by a variety of factors including general economic conditions, changes in market rates, prevailing interest rates and competition. The Banks rely on competitive pricing of its deposit products and customer service to attract and retain deposits, however market interest rates and rates offered by competing financial institutions significantly affect the Banks’ ability to attract and retain deposits.

     The Banks’ deposits totaled $386.9 million at December 31, 2007. Demand deposits totaled $74.8 million and comprised 19.3% of total deposits. Savings, NOW, and money market accounts totaled $142.8 million and comprised 36.9% of total deposits. Certificates of deposit were 43.8% of the total deposits for a balance of $169.3 million. For further information regarding the Banks’ deposits see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Deposits” in the Annual Report to Shareholders filed as Exhibit 13 to the Annual Report on Form 10-K and Note 8 to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

     As of December 31, 2007, the aggregate amount of outstanding certificates of deposit in amounts greater than or equal to $100,000 was approximately $69.9 million. The following table indicates the amount of our certificates of deposit of $100,000 or more by time remaining until maturity as of December 31, 2007.

Borrowed Funds

     The Company’s short-term borrowings consist of securities sold under repurchase agreements totaling $8.5 million at December 31, 2007. Long-term debt consists of a term note and term advances from the FHLB at an average rate of 5.62% at December 31, 2007. Long-term debt totaled $15.1 million at December 31, 2007. For further information regarding the Banks’ borrowed funds see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Borrowed Funds” in the Annual Report to Shareholders filed as Exhibit 13 to the Annual Report on Form 10-K and Notes 11 and 12 to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Competition

     The Banks face strong competition among financial institutions in Washington, D.C., Northern Virginia, Richmond and Hampton, Virginia and suburban Maryland for both deposits and loans. Principal competitors include other community commercial banks and larger financial institutions with branches in the Banks’ service area. Intense competition is expected to continue as bank mergers and acquisitions of smaller banks by larger institutions in the Washington, D.C., Richmond and Hampton, Virginia metropolitan regions may be expected to continue for the foreseeable future.

     The primary factors in competing for deposits are interest rates, personalized services, the quality and range of financial services, convenience of office locations and office hours. Competition for deposits comes primarily from other commercial banks, savings associations, credit unions, money market funds and other investment alternatives. The primary factors in competing for loans are interest rates, loan origination fees, the quality and range of lending services and personalized services. Competition for loans comes primarily from other commercial banks, savings associations, mortgage banking firms, credit unions and other financial intermediaries. The Banks face competition for deposits and loans throughout their market areas not only from local institutions but also from out-of-state financial intermediaries which have opened loan production offices or which solicit deposits in its market areas. Many of the financial intermediaries operating in the Banks’ market areas offer certain services, such as trust , investment and international banking services, which the Banks do not offer. Additionally, banks with larger capitalization and financial intermediaries not subject to bank regulatory restrictions have larger lending limits and are thereby able to serve the needs of larger customers.

     In order to compete with other financial services providers, the Banks principally rely upon local promotional activities, personal relationships established by officers, directors and employees with its customers, and specialized services tailored to meet its customers’ needs.

Employees

     At December 31, 2007, the Company employed 107 people on a full time basis. The employees are not represented by a union and management believes that its relations with its employees are good.

SUPERVISION AND REGULATION

     The commercial banking business is not only affected by general economic conditions but is also influenced by the monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government and the policies of regulatory agencies, particularly the Federal Reserve Board. The Federal Reserve Board implements national monetary policies by its open-market operations in U.S. Government securities, by adjusting the required level of reserves for financial institutions subject to its reserve requirements and by varying the discount rates applicable to borrowings by depository institutions. The actions of the Federal Reserve Board in these areas influence the growth of bank loans, investments and deposits and also affect interest rates charged on loans and paid on deposits. The nature and impact of any future changes in monetary policies cannot be predicted.

     Bank holding companies and banks are extensively regulated under both federal and state law. Set forth below is a summary description of certain provisions of certain laws which relate to the regulation of the Company and the Bank. The description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the applicable laws and regulations.

The Company

     The Company, as a registered bank holding company, is subject to regulation under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHCA”). Such regulations include prior approval of Company affiliates and subsidiaries. The Company is required to file quarterly reports and annual reports with the Federal Reserve Board and such additional information as the Federal Reserve Board may require pursuant to the BHCA. The Federal Reserve Board may conduct examinations of the Company and its subsidiaries.

     The Federal Reserve Board may require that the Company terminate an activity or terminate control of or liquidate or divest certain subsidiaries or affiliates when the Federal Reserve Board believes the activity or the control of the subsidiary or affiliate constitutes a significant risk to the financial safety, soundness or stability of any of its banking subsidiaries. The Federal Reserve Board also has the authority to regulate provisions of certain bank holding company debt, including authority to impose interest ceilings and reserve requirements on such debt. Under certain circumstances, the Company must file written notice and obtain approval from the Federal Reserve Board prior to purchasing or redeeming its equity securities.

     Under the BHCA and regulations adopted by the Federal Reserve Board, a bank holding company and its nonbanking subsidiaries are prohibited from requiring certain tie-in arrangements in connection with any extension of credit, lease or sale of property or furnishing of services. Further, the Company is required by the Federal Reserve Board to maintain certain levels of capital.

     The Company is required to obtain the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board for the acquisition of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of any class of voting securities, or substantially all of the assets, of any bank or bank holding company. Prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board is also required for the merger or consolidation of the Company and another bank holding company.

     The Company is prohibited by the BHCA, except in certain statutorily prescribed instances, from acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of the outstanding voting shares of any company that is not a bank or bank holding company and from engaging directly or indirectly in activities other than those of banking, managing or controlling banks or furnishing services to its subsidiaries. However, the Company, subject to the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board, may engage in any activities, or acquire shares of companies engaged in activities, that are deemed by the Federal Reserve Board to be so closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto. Additionally, bank holding companies that elect to be treated as financial holding companies may engage in insurance, securities and, under certain circumstances, merchant banking activities. The Company has not made the financial holding company election with the Federal Reserve Board.

     Under Federal Reserve Board policy, a bank holding company is required to serve as a source of financial and managerial strength to its subsidiary banks and may not conduct its operations in an unsafe or unsound manner. In addition, it is the Federal Reserve Board’s policy that in serving as a source of strength to its subsidiary banks, a bank holding company should stand ready to use available resources to provide adequate capital funds to its subsidiary banks during periods of financial stress or adversity and should maintain the financial flexibility and capital-raising capacity to obtain additional resources for assisting its subsidiary banks. A bank holding company’s failure to meet its obligations to serve as a source of strength to its subsidiary banks will generally be considered by the Federal Reserve Board to be an unsafe and unsound banking practice or a violation of the Federal Reserve Board’s regulations or both. This doctrine has become known as the “source of strength” doctrine. The validity of the source of strength doctrine has been and is likely to continue to be the subject of litigation-until definitively resolved by the courts or by Congress.

The Banks

     ANB, as a national banking association, is subject to primary supervision, examination and regulation by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”). If, as a result of an examination of ANB, the OCC should determine that the financial condition, capital resources, asset quality, earnings prospects, management, liquidity or other aspects of the ANB’s operations are unsatisfactory or that ANB or its management is violating or has violated any law or regulation, various remedies are available to the OCC. Such remedies include the power to enjoin “unsafe or unsound practices,” to require affirmative action to correct any conditions resulting from any violation of law or unsafe or unsound practice, to issue an administrative order that can be judicially enforced, to direct an increase in capital, to restrict the growth of ANB, to assess civil monetary penalties, and to remove officers and directors. The FDIC has similar enforcement authority, in addition to its authority to terminate a bank’s deposit insurance, in the absence of action by the OCC and upon a finding that a bank is in an unsafe or unsound condition, is engaging in unsafe or unsound activities, or that its conduct poses a risk to the deposit insurance fund or may prejudice the interest of its depositors. ANB is not subject to any such actions by the OCC or the FDIC.

     CBT is a Virginia chartered bank and a member of the Federal Reserve System, and its depositors are insured by the FDIC. The Federal Reserve and the Virginia State Corporation Commission and its Bureau of Financial Institutions regulate and monitor CBT’s operations. CBT is required to file with the Federal Reserve quarterly financial reports on the financial condition and performance of the organization. The Federal Reserve and State conduct periodic onsite and offsite examinations of CBT. CBT must comply with a wide variety of reporting requirements and banking regulations. The laws and regulations governing CBT generally have been promulgated to protect depositors and the deposit insurance funds and not to protect various shareholders.

     Deposit accounts in the Banks are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation generally up to a maximum of $100,000 per separately insured depositor and up to a maximum of $250,000 for self- directed retirement accounts. The Banks’ deposits, therefore, are subject to Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation deposit insurance assessments.

     The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation regulations assess insurance premiums based on an institution’s risk. Under this assessment system, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation evaluates the risk of each financial institution based on its supervisory rating, financial ratios, and long-term debt issuer rating. The rates for nearly all of the financial institutions industry vary between five and seven cents for every $100 of domestic deposits. The assessment to be paid during the year ending December 31, 2007 will be offset by a credit from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to the Banks of $43,000. Federal law requires the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to establish a deposit reserve ratio for the deposit insurance fund of between 1.15% and 1.50% of estimated deposits. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has designated the reserve ratio for the deposit insurance fund through the first quarter of 2008 at 1.25% of estimated insured deposits.

     Effective March 31, 2006, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation merged the Bank Insurance Fund and the Savings Association Insurance Fund into a single fund called the Deposit Insurance Fund. In addition to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation assessments, the Financing Corporation (“FICO”) is authorized to impose and collect, with the approval of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, assessments for anticipated payments, issuance costs and custodial fees on bonds issued by the FICO in the 1980s to recapitalize the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation. The bonds issued by the FICO are due to mature in 2017 through 2019. For the quarter ended December 31, 2007, the annualized FICO assessment was equal to 1.14 basis points for all domestic deposits maintained at an institution.

     Various other requirements and restrictions under the laws of the United States affect the operations of the Banks. Federal statutes and regulations relate to many aspects of the Banks’ operations, including reserves against deposits, interest rates payable on deposits, loans, investments, mergers and acquisitions, borrowings, dividends, locations of branch offices, capital requirements and disclosure obligations to depositors and borrowers. Further, the Banks are required to maintain certain levels of capital.

Restrictions on Transfers of Funds to the Company by the Banks

     The Company is a legal entity separate and distinct from the Banks. The Company’s ability to pay cash dividends is limited by Delaware corporate law. In addition, the prior approval of the Banks’ primary regulator is required if the total of all dividends declared by the individual Banks in any calendar year exceeds that bank’s net income for the year combined with its retained net profits for the preceding two years, less any transfers to surplus, that is still available for dividends.

     The Banks’ regulators have authority to prohibit the Banks from engaging in activities that, in the regulators opinion, constitute unsafe or unsound practices in conducting its business. It is possible, depending upon the financial condition of the bank in question and other factors, that the regulator could assert that the payment of dividends or other payments might, under some circumstances, be such an unsafe or unsound practice. Further, the OCC and the Federal Reserve Board have established guidelines with respect to the maintenance of appropriate levels of capital by banks or bank holding companies under their jurisdiction. Compliance with the standards set forth in such guidelines and the restrictions that are or may be imposed under the prompt corrective action provisions of federal law could limit the amount of dividends which the Banks or the Company may pay.

     The Banks are subject to certain restrictions imposed by federal law on any extensions of credit to, or the issuance of a guarantee or letter of credit on behalf of, the Company or other affiliates, the purchase of or investments in stock or other securities thereof, the taking of such securities as collateral for loans and the purchase of assets of the Company or other affiliates. Such restrictions prevent the Company and such other affiliates from borrowing from the Banks, unless the loans are secured by marketable obligations of designated amounts. Further, such secured loans and investments by the Banks to or in the Company or to or in any other affiliate is limited to 10% of the individual Bank’s capital and surplus (as defined by federal regulations) and such secured loans and investments are limited, in the aggregate, to 20% of the Bank’s capital and surplus (as defined by federal regulations). Additional restrictions on transactions with affiliates may be imposed on the Banks under the prompt corrective action provisions of federal law.

Capital Standards

     The Federal Reserve Board and the OCC have adopted risk-based minimum capital rules intended to provide a measure of capital that reflects the degree of risk associated with a banking organization’s operations for both transactions reported on the balance sheet as assets and transactions, and those which are recorded as off balance sheet items. Under these rules, nominal dollar amounts of assets and credit equivalent amounts of off balance sheet items are multiplied by one of several risk adjustment percentages, which range from 0% for assets with low credit risk, such as certain U.S. Treasury securities, to 100% for assets with relatively high credit risk, such as business loans.

     A banking organization’s risk-based capital ratios are obtained by dividing its qualifying capital by its total risk adjusted assets. The regulators measure risk-adjusted assets, which include off balance sheet items, against both total qualifying capital (the sum of Tier 1 capital and limited amounts of Tier 2 capital) and Tier 1 capital. Tier 1 capital consists primarily of common stock, retained earnings, noncumulative perpetual preferred stock (cumulative perpetual preferred stock for bank holding companies) and minority interests in certain subsidiaries, less most intangible assets. Tier 2 capital may consist of a limited amount of the allowance for possible loan and lease losses, cumulative preferred stock, long-term preferred stock, eligible term subordinated debt and certain other instruments with some characteristics of equity. The inclusion of elements of Tier 2 capital is subject to certain other requirements and limitations of the federal banking agencies. The federal banking agencies require a minimum ratio of qualifying total capital to risk-adjusted assets of 8% and a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-adjusted assets of 4%. In addition to the risk-based guidelines, federal banking regulators require banking organizations to maintain a minimum amount of Tier 1 capital to total assets, referred to as the leverage ratio.

     Under federal regulations, an institution is generally considered “well capitalized” if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10%, a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of at least 6%, and a Tier I capital (leverage) ratio of at least 5%. Federal law generally requires full-scope on-site annual examinations of all insured depository institutions by the appropriate federal bank regulatory agency, although the examination may occur at longer intervals for small well-capitalized or state chartered banks.

     The current risk-based capital ratio analysis establishes minimum supervisory guidelines and standards. It does not evaluate all factors affecting an organization’s financial condition. Factors which are not evaluated include (i) overall interest rate exposure; (ii) quality and level of earnings; (iii) investment or loan portfolio concentrations; (iv) quality of loans and investments; (v) the effectiveness of loan and investment policies; (vi) certain risks arising from nontraditional activities and (vii) management’s overall ability to monitor and control other financial and operating risks, including the risks presented by concentrations of credit and nontraditional activities. The capital adequacy assessment of federal bank regulators will, however, continue to include analyses of the foregoing considerations and in particular, the level and severity of problem and classified assets. Market risk of a banking organization—risk of loss stemming from movements in market prices—is not evaluated under the current risk-based capital ratio analysis (and is therefore analyzed by the bank regulators through a general assessment of an organization’s capital adequacy) unless trading activities constitute 10% of $1 billion or more of the assets of such organization. Such an organization (unless exempted by the banking regulators) and certain other banking organization designated by the banking regulators must include in their risk-based capital ratio analysis charges for, and hold capital against, general market risk of all positions held in their trading account and of foreign exchange and commodity positions wherever located, as well as against specific risk of debt and equity positions located in their trading account. Currently, the Company does not calculate a risk-based capital charge for its market risk.

     Future changes in regulations or practices could further reduce the amount of capital recognized for purposes of capital adequacy. Such a change could affect the ability of the Banks to grow and could restrict the amount of profits, if any, available for the payment of dividends.

Prompt Corrective Action and Other Enforcement Mechanisms

     Federal law requires each federal banking agency to take prompt corrective action to resolve the problems of insured depository institutions, including but not limited to those that fall below one or more prescribed minimum capital ratios. The law requires each federal banking agency to promulgate regulations defining the following five categories in which an insured depository institution will be placed, based on the level of its capital ratios: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized.

     An institution that, based upon its capital levels, is classified as “well capitalized,” “adequately capitalized” or “undercapitalized” may be treated as though it were in the next lower capital category if the appropriate federal banking agency, after notice and opportunity for hearing, determines that an unsafe or unsound condition or an unsafe or unsound practice warrants such treatment. At each successive lower capital category, an insured depository institution is subject to more restrictions. The federal banking agencies, however, may not treat an institution as “critically undercapitalized” unless its capital ratio actually warrants such treatment.

     In addition to restrictions and sanctions imposed under the prompt corrective action provisions, commercial banking organizations may be subject to potential enforcement actions by the federal regulators for unsafe or unsound practices in conducting their businesses or for violations of any law, rule, regulation or any condition imposed in writing by the agency or any written agreement with the agency. Enforcement actions may include the imposition of a conservator or receiver, the issuance of a cease and desist order that can be judicially enforced, the termination of insurance of deposits (in the case of a depository institution), the imposition of civil money penalties, the issuance of directives to increase capital, the issuance of formal and informal agreements, the issuance of removal and prohibition orders against institution-affiliated parties and the enforcement of such actions through injunctions or restraining orders based upon a judicial determination that the agency would be harmed if such equitable relief was not granted.

Community Reinvestment Act

     The Banks are subject to the provisions of the Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”) which requires banks to assess and help meet the credit needs of the community in which the bank operates. The OCC examines the Bank to determine its level of compliance with CRA and the Federal Reserve Board examines CBT to determine its level of compliance with CRA. The OCC and the Federal Reserve Board are required to consider the level of CRA compliance when their regulatory applications are reviewed. The Banks each received a satisfactory Community Reinvestment Act rating in its most recent federal examination .

Interstate Banking and Branching

     Under the Riegel-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994, as amended (the “Interstate Act”), a bank holding company that is adequately capitalized and managed may obtain approval under the BHCA to acquire an existing bank located in another state generally without regard to state law prohibitions on such acquisitions. A bank holding company, however, can not be permitted to make such an acquisition if, upon consummation, it would control (a) more than 10% of the total amount of deposits of insured depository institutions in the United States or (b) 30% or more of the deposits in the state in which the bank is located. A state may limit the percentage of total deposits that may be held in that state by any one bank or bank holding company if application of such limitation does not discriminate against out of state banks. An out of state bank holding company may not acquire a state bank in existence for less than a minimum length of time that may be prescribed by state law except that a state may not impose more than a five year existence requirement. Since June 1, 1997 (and prior to that date in some instances), banks have been able to expand across state lines where qualifying legislation adopted by certain states prior to that date prohibits such interstate expansion. Banks may also expand across state lines through the acquisition of an individual branch of a bank located in another state or through the establishment of a de novo branch in another state where the law of the state in which the branch is to be acquired or established specifically authorizes such acquisition or de novo branch establishment.

The USA PATRIOT Act

     The USA PATRIOT Act, which was signed into law on October 26, 2001, gave the federal government new powers to address terrorist threats through enhanced domestic security measures, expanded surveillance powers, increased information sharing and broadened anti-money laundering requirements. Financial institutions, such as the Bank, have been subject to a federal anti-money laundering obligation for years. The USA PATRIOT Act has no material adverse impact on the Banks’ operations.

Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002

     The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Sarbanes-Oxley”), which implemented legislative reforms intended to address corporate and accounting fraud. In addition to the establishment of a new accounting oversight board that will enforce auditing, quality control and independence standards and will be funded by fees from all publicly traded companies, Sarbanes-Oxley places certain restrictions on the scope of services that may be provided by accounting firms to their public company audit clients. Any non-audit service being provided to a public company audit client will require preapproval by the company’s audit committee. In addition, Sarbanes-Oxley makes certain changes to the requirements for audit partner rotation after a period of time. Sarbanes-Oxley requires chief executive officers and chief financial officers, or their equivalent, to certify to the accuracy of periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), subject to civil and criminal penalties if they knowingly or willingly violate this certification requirement.

     Sarbanes-Oxley also increases the oversight of, and codifies certain requirements relating to audit committees of public companies and how they interact with the company’s “registered public accounting firm.” Audit Committee members must be independent and are absolutely barred from accepting consulting, advisory or other compensatory fees from the issuer. In addition, companies must disclose whether at least one member of the committee is a “financial expert” (as such term is defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission) and if not, why not. Under Sarbanes-Oxley, a company’s registered public accounting firm is prohibited from performing statutorily mandated audit services for a company if such company’s chief executive officer, chief financial officer, comptroller, chief accounting officer or any person serving in equivalent positions had been employed by such firm and participated in the audit of such company during the one-year period preceding the audit initiation date. Sarbanes-Oxley also prohibits any officer or director of a company or any other person acting under their direction from taking any action to fraudulently influence, coerce, manipulate or mislead any independent accountant engaged in the audit of the company’s financial statements for the purpose of rendering the financial statements materially misleading.

     Although we have incurred additional expense in complying with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the resulting regulations, such compliance has not had a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition to date. However, the Company expects audit costs will increase in the future as it complies with the SEC’s requirement that auditors must provide an attestation of management’s report on internal control over financial reporting. On January 31, 2008, the SEC proposed a one-year extension of the auditor attestation requirement for smaller public companies. Under the extension, the Company would be required to have the auditor attestation beginning with the year ending December 31, 2009.

Factors Affecting Future Results

     In addition to historical information, this Form 10-K includes certain forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties such as statements of the Company’s plans, expectations and unknown outcomes. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from management expectations. Factors that could contribute to those differences include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions, legislative and regulatory changes, monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government, changes in tax policies, rates and regulations of federal and local tax authorities, changes in interest rates, deposit flows, the cost of funds, demand for loan products, demand for financial services, competition, changes in the quality or composition of the Banks’ loan and investment portfolios, changes in ownership status resulting in, among other things, the loss of eligibility for participation in government and corporate programs for minority and women-owned banks, change in accounting principles, policies or guidelines, and other economic, competitive, governmental and technological factors affecting the Company’s operations, markets, products, services and prices.

Item 1A.		Risk Factors.

      Abigail Adams National Bancorp, Inc.’s Commercial Real Estate and Commercial Business Loans Expose it to Increased Lending Risks.

     At December 31, 2007, the Company’s portfolio of commercial real estate loans totaled $128.3 million, and commercial business loans totaled $38.6 million. These two categories of loans represent 54.2% of the Company’s loan portfolio. The Company plans to continue its emphasis on the origination of these types of loans. These types of loans generally expose a lender to greater risk of non-payment and loss than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans because repayment of the loans often depends on the successful operations and the income stream of the borrowers. Such loans typically involve larger loan balances to single borrowers or groups of related borrowers compared to one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. Also, many of the Company’s borrowers have more than one commercial real estate or commercial business loan outstanding with the Company. Consequently, an adverse development with respect to one loan or one credit relationship can expose the Company to a significantly greater risk of loss compared to an adverse development with respect to a one- to four-family residential mortgage loan.

      Abigail Adams National Bancorp, Inc.’s Current Concentration of Loans in its Primary Market Area May Increase its Risk.

     The Company’s success depends primarily on the general economic conditions in Washington, D.C. and to a lesser extent the Richmond and Hampton, Virginia market areas. Unlike larger banks that are more geographically diversified, the Company provides banking and financial services to customers primarily in Washington, D.C. The local economic conditions in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area have a significant impact on its loans, the ability of the borrowers to repay these loans and the value of the collateral securing these loans. A significant decline in general economic conditions caused by inflation, recession, unemployment or other factors beyond the Company’s control would impact these local economic conditions and could negatively affect the financial results of its banking operations.

     The Company targets its business lending and marketing strategy for loans to serve primarily the banking and financial services needs of small to medium size businesses. These small to medium size businesses generally have fewer financial resources in terms of capital or borrowing capacity than larger entities. If general economic conditions negatively impact these businesses, the Company’s results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.

      If Abigail Adams National Bancorp, Inc.’s Allowance for Credit Losses is Not Sufficient to Cover Actual Loan Losses, its Earnings Could Decrease.

     The Company’s loan customers may not repay their loans according to the terms of the loans, and the collateral securing the payment of these loans may be insufficient to pay any remaining loan balance. The Company may experience significant loan losses, which could have a material adverse effect on its operating results. The Company makes various assumptions and judgments about the collectibility of its loan portfolio, including the creditworthiness of its borrowers and the value of the real estate and other assets serving as collateral for the repayment of many of its loans. In determining the amount of the allowance for credit losses, the Company relies on its loan quality reviews, its experience and its evaluation of economic conditions, among other factors. If the Company’s assumptions and judgments prove to be incorrect, its allowance for credit losses may not be sufficient to cover losses in its loan portfolio, resulting in additions to its allowance. Material additions to its allowance would materially decrease its net income.

     The Company’s emphasis on continued diversification of its loan portfolio through the origination of commercial real estate and commercial business loans is one of the more significant factors it takes into account in evaluating its allowance for credit losses and provision for credit losses. As the Company further increases the amount of such types of loans in its portfolio, the Company may determine to make additional or increased provisions for credit losses, which could adversely affect its earnings.

     In addition, bank regulators periodically review the Company’s loan portfolio and credit underwriting procedures as well as its allowance for credit losses and may require the Company to increase its provision for credit losses or recognize further loan charge-offs. Any increase in its allowance for credit losses or loan charge-offs as required by these regulatory authorities could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

      Changes in Interest Rates Could Adversely Affect Abigail Adams National Bancorp, Inc.’s Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

     The Company’s results of operations and financial condition are significantly affected by changes in interest rates. The Company’s results of operations depend substantially on its net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on its interest-earning assets and the interest expense paid on its interest-bearing liabilities. At December 31, 2007, the Company’s interest rate risk profile indicated that net interest income would increase in a rising interest rate environment, but would decrease in a declining interest rate environment.

     Changes in interest rates also affect the value of the Company’s interest-earning assets, and in particular the Company’s securities portfolio. Generally, the value of securities fluctuates inversely with changes in interest rates. At December 31, 2007, the Company’s available for sale securities totaled $66.4 million. Decreases in the fair value of securities available for sale could have an adverse effect on shareholders’ equity or earnings.

     The Company also is subject to reinvestment risk associated with changes in interest rates. Changes in interest rates may affect the average life of loans and mortgage-related securities. Decreases in interest rates can result in increased prepayments of loans and mortgage-related securities, as borrowers refinance to reduce borrowing costs. Under these circumstances, the Company is subject to reinvestment risk to the extent that it is unable to reinvest the cash received from such prepayments at rates that are comparable to the rates on existing loans and securities. Additionally, increases in interest rates may decrease loan demand and make it more difficult for borrowers to repay adjustable rate loans.

      Strong Competition Within Abigail Adams National Bancorp, Inc.’s Market Area May Limit its Growth and Profitability.

     Competition in the banking and financial services industry is intense. In the Company’s market area, the Company competes with commercial banks, savings institutions, mortgage brokerage firms, credit unions, finance companies, mutual funds, insurance companies, and brokerage and investment banking firms operating locally and elsewhere. Many of these competitors (whether regional or national institutions) have substantially greater resources and lending limits than the Company does and may offer certain services that the Company does not or cannot provide. The Company’s profitability depends upon its continued ability to successfully compete in its market area.

      Abigail Adams National Bancorp, Inc. Operates in a Highly Regulated Environment and May Be Adversely Affected By Changes in Laws and Regulations.

     The Company is subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the Federal Reserve Board. ANB is subject to regulation by the OCC and by the FDIC, as insurer of its deposits. CBT is subject to regulation by the Federal Reserve Board, the Bureau of Financial Institutions and by the FDIC, as insurer of its deposits. Such regulation and supervision govern the activities in which a bank and its holding company may engage and are intended primarily for the protection of the deposit insurance funds and depositors. These regulatory authorities have extensive discretion in connection with their supervisory and enforcement activities, including the imposition of restrictions on the operation of a bank, the classification of assets by a bank and the evaluation of the adequacy of a bank’s allowance for loan losses. Any change in such regulation and oversight, whether in the form of regulatory policy, regulations, or legislation, could have a material impact on the Company and its operations.

     The Company’s operations are also subject to extensive regulation by other federal, state and local governmental authorities and are subject to various laws and judicial and administrative decisions imposing requirements and restrictions on part or all of its operations. The Company believes that it is in substantial compliance in all material respects with applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations. Because its business is highly regulated, the laws, rules and regulations applicable to the Company are subject to regular modification and change. There are currently proposed various laws, rules and regulations that, if adopted, would impact its operations, including, among other things, matters pertaining to corporate governance, requirements for listing and maintenance on national securities exchanges and over the counter markets, and Securities and Exchange Commission rules pertaining to public reporting disclosures. There can be no assurance that these proposed laws, rules and regulations, or any other laws, rules or regulations, will not be adopted in the future, which could make compliance more difficult or expensive or otherwise adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition or prospects.
