NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial reporting and with applicable quarterly reporting regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. They do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. Therefore, these consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the C&F Financial Corporation Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

In the opinion of C&F Financial Corporation’s management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 30, 2006, the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 have been made. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of C&F Financial Corporation (the “Corporation”) and its subsidiary, Citizens and Farmers Bank (the “Bank”), with all significant intercompany transactions and accounts being eliminated in consolidation.

Share-Based Compensation: Effective January 1, 2006, the Corporation adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, which requires that the Corporation recognize expense related to the fair value of share-based compensation awards in net income.

Prior to January 1, 2006, the Corporation accounted for its three share-based compensation plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations. Accordingly, stock compensation expense was not recognized in net income, as all options granted under these plans had an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. However, notes to prior financial statements included pro forma disclosures of the effect on net income and earnings per share as if the Corporation had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to share-based compensation.

   $ .72    $ 1.32

Diluted – as reported

   $ .82    $ 1.52

Diluted – pro forma

   $ .70    $ 1.27

The Corporation has elected to follow the modified prospective transition method allowed by SFAS No. 123(R). Under the modified prospective transition method, compensation expense is recognized prospectively for all unvested options outstanding at January 1, 2006 and for all awards modified or granted after that date. On December 20, 2005, the Corporation accelerated the vesting of all unvested stock options outstanding under the Corporation’s three share-based compensation plans. The board of directors accelerated the vesting of these options in order to eliminate the Corporation’s recognition of compensation expense associated with these options under the SFAS No. 123(R) modified prospective transition method. Because there were no unvested options outstanding at January 1, 2006, no share-based compensation expense has been recognized in 2006 for options granted prior to January 1, 2006. Compensation expense for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2006 included $23,000 ($15,000 after tax) for options granted during the second quarter of 2006. As of June 30, 2006, there was $114,000 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested stock options that will be recognized over the remaining requisite service period.

The total intrinsic value of in-the-money options exercised during the first half of 2006 was $463,000. Cash received from option exercises during the first half of 2006 was $351,000. The Corporation has a policy of issuing new shares, as opposed to repurchasing shares on the open market, to satisfy share options exercises.

This FSP provides an elective alternative simplified method for calculating the pool of excess tax benefits available to absorb tax deficiencies recognized subsequent to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R). Companies may take up to one year from the effective date of the FSP to evaluate the available transition alternatives and make a one-time election as to which method to adopt. The Corporation is currently in the process of evaluating the alternative methods.

Note 2

Diluted net income per share has been calculated on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding for the applicable periods. Potentially-dilutive common stock had no effect on income available to common shareholders.

Note 3

During the first six months of 2006, the Corporation repurchased 12,022 shares of its common stock in open-market transactions at prices from $39.43 to $40.00. There were no stock repurchases in the first six months of 2005.

On June 1, 2005, the Corporation made an offer to its shareholders to repurchase up to 180,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $41.00 per share. The initial expiration date of the offer was June 30, 2005. The number of shares tendered by the expiration date far exceeded the 180,000 shares initially authorized. Therefore, the Corporation’s Board of Directors extended the expiration date of its offer until July 22, 2005 and increased the number of shares subject to the offer to up to 450,000 shares. The tender offer expired on July 22, 2005 and 427,186 tendered shares of the Corporation’s common stock were accepted on July 27, 2005. The total cost of the repurchase, including transaction costs, approximated $17.6 million, which was reflected in the Corporation’s financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2005.

The primary cause of the temporary impairments in the Corporation’s investment in debt securities was the decline in prices as interest rates have risen. There are 65 securities totaling $22.4 million in the Corporation’s debt securities portfolio considered temporarily impaired at June 30, 2006. Because the Corporation has the intent and demonstrated ability to hold these investments until a recovery of unrealized losses, which may be maturity, the Corporation does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2006. The primary cause of the temporary impairments in the Corporation’s investment in preferred stock was one holding in an energy company, which suffered a liquidity crisis as a result of damage to electric and gas facilities by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Despite the extent of the damage done, the energy company believes the impact will be relatively short term and that it has sufficient liquidity to meet its current obligations and fund its restoration efforts from its parent company’s available cash and existing credit facility. The Corporation has evaluated the prospects of the energy company in relation to the severity and duration of the impairment. Based on that evaluation and the Corporation’s intent and demonstrated ability to hold this investment for a reasonable period of time sufficient for a forecasted recovery of unrealized losses, the Corporation does not consider this investment to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2006.

Securities in an unrealized loss position at December 31, 2005 are shown below by duration of the period of unrealized loss.

Note 6

The Corporation operates in a decentralized fashion in three principal business segments: Retail Banking, Mortgage Banking and Consumer Finance. Revenues from Retail Banking operations consist primarily of interest earned on loans and investment securities and service charges on deposit accounts. Mortgage Banking operating revenues consist principally of gains on sales of loans in the secondary market, loan origination fee income and interest earned on mortgage loans held for sale. Revenues from Consumer Finance consist primarily of interest earned on automobile loans.

The Corporation’s other subsidiaries include:

 

    an investment company that derives revenues from brokerage services,

 

    an insurance company that derives revenues from insurance services, and

 

    a title company that derives revenues from title insurance services.

The results of these other subsidiaries are not significant to the Corporation as a whole and have been included in “Other.”

Retail Banking segment also provides the Consumer Finance segment with a portion of the funds needed to originate loans and charges the Consumer Finance segment interest at LIBOR plus 180 basis points. The Retail Banking segment acquires certain lot and permanent loans, second mortgage loans and home equity lines of credit from the Mortgage Banking segment at prices similar to those paid by third-party investors. These transactions are eliminated to reach consolidated totals. Certain corporate overhead costs incurred by the Retail Banking segment are not allocated to the Mortgage Banking, Consumer Finance and Other segments.

Note 7

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets an amendment of FASB Statement 140. SFAS No. 156 amends SFAS No. 140 with respect to separately-recognized servicing assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 156 requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract and requires all servicing assets and liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. SFAS No. 156 also permits entities to subsequently measure servicing assets and liabilities using an amortization method or fair value measurement method. Under the amortization method, servicing assets and liabilities are amortized in proportion to and over the estimated period of servicing. Under the fair value measurement method, servicing assets are measured at fair value at each reporting date and changes in fair value are reported in net income for the period the change occurs. Adoption of SFAS No. 156 is required as of the beginning of fiscal years beginning subsequent to September 15, 2006. Earlier adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year, provided the entity has not yet issued financial statements, including interim financial statements. The Corporation does not anticipate that SFAS No. 156 will have a material effect on its financial statements.

In November 2005, FSP 115-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments, was issued. The guidance in FSP 115-1 amends SFAS No. 115 and APB Opinion No. 18, The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock. FSP 115-1 applies to investments in debt and equity securities and cost-method investments. The application guidance within FSP 115-1 includes items to consider in determining whether an investment is impaired, in evaluating if an impairment is other-than-temporary and recognizing impairment losses equal to the difference between the investment’s cost and its fair value when an impairment is determined. FSP 115-1 also includes accounting considerations subsequent to the recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment and requires certain disclosures about unrealized losses that have not been recognized as other-than-temporary impairments. FSP 115-1 is required for all reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2005. Adoption of FSP 115 did not have a material effect on the Corporation’s financial statements.

In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections – A Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3. The new standard changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. Among other changes, SFAS No. 154 requires that a voluntary change in accounting principle be applied retrospectively with all prior period financial statements presented using the new accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to do so. SFAS No. 154 also provides that (1) a change in method of depreciating or amortizing a long-lived nonfinancial asset be accounted for as a change in estimate (prospectively) that was effected by a change in accounting principle and (2) correction of errors in previously issued financial statements should be termed a “restatement.” The new standard is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Adoption of SFAS No. 154 did not have a material effect on the Corporation’s financial statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains statements concerning the Corporation’s expectations, plans, objectives, future financial performance and other statements that are not historical facts. These statements may constitute “forward-looking statements” as defined by federal securities laws. These statements may address issues that involve estimates and assumptions made by management and risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from historical results or those anticipated by such statements. Factors that could have a material adverse effect on the operations and future prospects of the Corporation include, but are not limited to, changes in:

 

  1) interest rates;

 

  2) general economic conditions;

 

  3) the legislative/regulatory climate;

 

  4) monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. Government, including policies of the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve Board;

 

  5) the quality or composition of the loan or investment portfolios;

 

  6) demand for loan products;

 

  7) deposit flows;

 

  8) competition;

 

  9) demand for financial services in the Corporation’s market area;

 

  10) technology;

 

  11) reliance on third parties for key services; and

 

  12) accounting principles, policies and guidelines.

These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating the forward-looking statements contained herein. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on those statements, which speak only as of the date of this report.

The following discussion supplements and provides information about the major components of the results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and capital resources of the Corporation. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions. Those accounting policies with the greatest uncertainty and that required our most difficult, subjective or complex judgments affecting the application of these policies, and the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions, or using different assumptions, are described below.

Allowance for Loan Losses: We establish the allowance for loan losses through charges to earnings in the form of a provision for loan losses. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when we believe that the collection of the principal is unlikely. Subsequent recoveries of losses previously charged against the allowance are credited to the allowance. The allowance represents an amount that, in our judgment, will be adequate to absorb any losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible. Our judgment in determining the adequacy of the allowance is based on evaluations of the collectibility of loans while taking into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan

portfolio, current economic conditions that may affect a borrower’s ability to repay, overall portfolio quality, concentrations of credit risk and specific potential losses. This evaluation is inherently subjective because it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

Impairment of Loans: We measure impaired loans based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate of the loan (or, as a practical expedient, at the loan’s observable market price) or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. We consider a loan impaired when it is probable that the Corporation will be unable to collect all interest and principal payments as scheduled in the loan agreement. We do not consider a loan impaired during a period of delay in payment if we expect the ultimate collection of all amounts due. A valuation allowance is maintained to the extent that the measure of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment. The loans currently designated as impaired are being valued based on collateral. The reserves that we have established are based on appraisals of the collateral and have been adjusted for items such as selling costs and current conditions. We believe these adjustments are reasonable.

Impairment of Securities: Impairment of investment securities results in a write-down that must be included in net income when a market value decline below cost is other-than-temporary. We regularly review each investment security for impairment based on criteria that include the extent to which cost exceeds market price, the duration of that market value decline, the financial health of and specific prospects for the issuer and our ability and intention with regard to holding the security to maturity.

Goodwill: Goodwill is no longer subject to amortization over its estimated useful life, but is subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment using a two-step process that begins with an estimation of the fair value of the reporting unit. In assessing the recoverability of the Corporation’s goodwill, all of which was recognized in connection with the Bank’s acquisition of C&F Finance in September 2002, we must make assumptions in order to determine the fair value of the respective assets. Major assumptions used in determining impairment were increases in future income, sales multiples in determining terminal value and the discount rate applied to future cash flows. As part of the impairment test, we performed a sensitivity analysis by increasing the discount rate, lowering sales multiples and reducing increases in future income. We completed the annual test for impairment during the fourth quarter of 2005 and determined there was no impairment to be recognized in 2005. If the underlying estimates and related assumptions change in the future, we may be required to record impairment charges.

Defined Benefit Pension Plan: The Bank maintains a non-contributory, defined benefit pension plan for eligible full-time employees as specified by the plan. Plan assets, which consist primarily of marketable equity securities and corporate and government fixed income securities, are valued using market quotations. The Bank’s actuary determines plan obligations and annual pension expense using a number of key assumptions. Key assumptions include the discount rate, the estimated future return on plan assets and the anticipated rate of future salary increases. Changes in these assumptions in the future, if any, may impact pension expense as measured in accordance with SFAS No. 87, Employers’ Accounting for Pensions.

Accounting for Income Taxes: Determining the Corporation’s effective tax rate requires judgment. In the ordinary course of business, there are transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax outcomes are uncertain. In addition, the Corporation’s tax returns are subject to audit by various tax authorities. Although we believe that the estimates are reasonable, no assurance can be given that the final tax outcome will not be materially different than that which is reflected in the income tax provision and accrual.

OVERVIEW

Our primary financial goals are to maximize the Corporation’s earnings and to deploy capital in profitable growth initiatives that will enhance shareholder value. We track three primary performance measures in order to assess the level of success in achieving these goals: (i) return on average assets (ROA), (ii) return on average equity (ROE) and (iii) growth in earnings. In addition to these financial performance measures, we track the performance of the Corporation’s three principal business activities: retail banking, mortgage banking and consumer finance. We also actively manage our capital through growth, stock repurchases and dividends.

Financial Performance Measures. For the Corporation, net income increased 23.9 percent to $3.73 million, or $1.14 per share assuming dilution, for the second quarter ended June 30, 2006 compared to $3.01 million, or 82 cents per share assuming dilution, for the second quarter of 2005. Net income for the first half of 2006 increased 11.3 percent to $6.25 million, or $1.91 per share assuming dilution, compared to $5.62 million, or $1.52 per share assuming dilution, for the first half of 2005. Earnings per share assuming dilution increased 39.0 percent for the second quarter of 2006 and 25.7 percent for the first six months of 2006 over the same periods in 2005. Highlights thus far in 2006 are the Corporation’s continued earnings strength, double-digit percentage growth in earnings per share, expansion within our markets and resolution of the Corporation’s single largest nonperforming loan relationship. These highlights reflect the impact of our strategic capital management and growth initiatives. While expenses associated with our growth initiatives increased during 2006, higher net income in 2006 coupled with the effect of our large share repurchase in 2005 resulted in an increase in earnings per share.

Net income for the second quarter and the first six months of 2006 included $728,000, after tax, attributable to the recovery of past due interest and a reduction in the Corporation’s loan loss allowance in connection with the pay-off of previously nonperforming loans of one commercial relationship. Excluding the 22 cents per share after-tax effect of this transaction, the Corporation’s earnings were $3.00 million, or 92 cents per share assuming dilution, for the second quarter ended June 30, 2006 and $5.52 million, or $1.69 per share assuming dilution, for the first half of 2006, which represents a 12.2 percent and an 11.2 percent increase in earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, over the same periods in 2005.

The Corporation’s annualized ROE and annualized ROA were 23.72 percent and 2.16 percent, respectively, for the second quarter of 2006 and 20.25 percent and 1.84 percent, respectively, for the first half of 2006. Excluding the effect of the commercial loan pay-off, the Corporation’s annualized ROE was 19.09 percent for the second quarter and 17.89 percent for the first six months of 2006, compared with 16.48 percent for the second quarter and 15.60 percent for the first half of last year. The annualized ROA, excluding the effect of the commercial loan pay-off, was 1.73 percent for the second quarter and 1.62 percent for the first six months of this year, compared with 1.90 percent for the second quarter and 1.81 percent for the first half of last year. The increase in ROE in 2006, excluding the effect of the commercial loan pay-off, resulted from the accretive effect of the share repurchase in July 2005. The decline in ROA in 2006, excluding the effect of the commercial loan pay-off, resulted from a slight decline in earnings coupled with an approximate ten percent increase in average assets, primarily loans held for investment and new facilities.

Principal Business Activities. An overview of the financial results for each of the Corporation’s principal segments is presented below. A more detailed discussion is included in “Results of Operations.”

Retail Banking: Second quarter net income for C&F Bank increased to $2.28 million in 2006 compared to $1.59 million in 2005. Net income for the first half of 2006 increased to $3.64 million compared to $3.04 million in 2005. Net income for the second quarter and the first six months of 2006 included $728,000, after tax, recognized in connection with the pay-off of previously nonperforming loans of one commercial relationship. Excluding this amount, the Bank’s second quarter net income was $1.55 million and net income for the first half of 2006 was $2.91 million. Earnings in 2006 included the effect on operating expenses of the Virginia Peninsula branch expansion and the operations center relocation, as well as interest expense on borrowings and trust preferred securities to fund our share repurchase in 2005 and higher operational and administrative personnel costs to support growth. Higher expenses were offset in part by an increase in net interest income, which resulted from an increase in both the amount of and yield on earning assets and an increase in service charges on deposit accounts. The Bank’s net interest margin has benefited in the short term as variable-rate loans have repriced as short-term interest rates have increased while deposits have repriced at a more gradual pace. Future earnings of the Retail Banking segment may be impacted by net interest margin compression if the lag in deposit repricing continues to diminish.

Mortgage Banking: Second quarter net income for C&F Mortgage Corporation decreased to $613,000 in 2006 compared to $765,000 in 2005. Net income for the first half of 2006 decreased to $1.06 million compared to $1.33 million in 2005. These declines reflected reduced loan volume as demand for residential mortgage loans and refinancings has moderated as interest rates have increased. Gains on loan sales have declined due to increasingly narrow profit margins resulting from competition and ancillary fees have declined due to a decline in loan originations. C&F Mortgage has also experienced a decrease in net interest income resulting from a lower average balance of loans held for sale and net interest margin compression due to the increasing cost of funds. For the second quarter of 2006, the amount of loan originations at C&F Mortgage resulting from refinancings was $65.58 million compared to $87.4 million for the second quarter of 2005. Loans originated for new and resale home purchases for these two time periods were $196.74 million and $214.3 million, respectively. For the first half of 2006, the amount of loan originations at C&F Mortgage resulting from refinancings was $138.44 million compared to $166.50 million for the first half of 2005. Loans originated for new and resale home purchases for these two six-month periods were $338.17 million compared to $338.10 million. Future earnings of the Mortgage Banking segment may be negatively affected if the upward trend in interest rates continues and there are fewer new and resale home sales and loan refinancings. C&F Mortgage’s 2006 results included a $75,000 pre-tax charge to income in the second quarter for an insurance deductible associated with an embezzlement of funds as described in Item 4.-Controls and Procedures.

Consumer Finance: Second quarter net income for C&F Finance Company increased to $813,000 in 2006 compared to $605,000 in 2005. Net income for the first half of 2006 increased to $1.51 million compared to $1.22 million in 2005. The earnings improvements in the second quarter and the first half of 2006 resulted from respective 15.7 percent and 17.3 percent increases in average loans outstanding, which more than offset the decline in C&F Finance’s net interest margins attributable to increases in the cost of borrowings resulting from rising interest rates and operating expenses to support growth. Operating results in 2006 benefited from the completion of C&F Finance’s conversion to a new loan system, the consolidation and relocation of its operations center to a new location in Richmond, Virginia, and a change in the third-party lender for its secured revolving line of credit with financing terms that provide for a rate reduction from the prior terms and lower administration fees—all of which occurred after the first quarter of 2005. We believe that with these improvements we have

established a platform with the capacity to support current operations and future growth, which will enhance long-term earnings. In addition to earnings growth during 2006, nonaccrual consumer finance loans as a percentage of total consumer finance loans was at an all-time low of less than one percent as of June 30, 2006, which reflected C&F Finance Company’s overall effort to reduce nonperforming assets. Future earnings at the Consumer Finance segment will be further impacted by economic conditions including, but not limited to, the employment market, interest rate levels and the resale market for used automobiles.

Capital Management. Total assets grew by $43.71 million to $715.67 million during the first half of 2006. A detailed discussion of the changes in our financial position since December 31, 2005 is included in the section “Financial Condition.” Dividends for the first half of 2006 were 56 cents per share, a 16.7 percent increase over 48 cents per share in the first half of 2005. The weighted average number of shares outstanding in the first half of 2006 was 3,149,496 compared to 3,554,303 in the first half of 2005. This decrease resulted from the repurchase of approximately 427,000 shares of the Corporation’s common stock in 2005, which was accretive to earnings per share and ROE. On November 4, 2005, the Corporation’s board of directors approved the repurchase of up to an additional 5 percent of the Corporation’s common stock (approximately 156,783 shares) over the twelve months ending November 3, 2006. Since inception, 12,122 shares have been repurchased under this authorization.

Interest income and expense are affected by fluctuations in interest rates, by changes in the volume of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and by the interaction of rate and volume factors. The following tables show the direct causes of the changes in the components of net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis from the second quarter of 2005 to the second quarter of 2006 and from the first half of 2005 to the first half of 2006. Rate/volume variances, the third element in the calculation, are not shown separately in the table, but are allocated to the rate and volume variances in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of the change in each. Loans include both nonaccrual loans and loans held for sale.

Net interest income, on a taxable equivalent basis, for the second quarter of 2006 was $10.85 million compared to $9.48 million for the second quarter of 2005. Net interest income, on a taxable equivalent basis, for the first half of 2006 was $20.73 million compared to $18.49 million for the first half of 2005. The net interest margin was 6.48 percent for the second quarter of 2006 compared to 6.49 percent for the second quarter of 2005, and 6.55 percent for the first half of 2006 compared to 6.51 percent for the first half of 2005. The higher net interest income for both periods resulted primarily from increases in the average balance of interest-earning assets of 7.9 percent for the second quarter of 2006 and 9.0 percent for the first half of 2006 compared to the same periods in 2005. In addition, interest income for both the quarter and the six months ended June 30, 2006 included $870,000 of nonaccrual and default interest attributable to the repayment of previously nonperforming loans of one commercial relationship. Excluding the effect of the commercial loan pay-off, net interest margin decreased to 6.34 percent for the second quarter of 2006 and to 6.41 percent for the first half of 2006. These decreases were a result of a 111 basis point increase for the second quarter of 2006 and a 106 basis point increase for the first half of 2006 in the rate on interest-bearing liabilities that was offset in part by an 89 basis point increase and a 91 basis point increase for the respective periods in the yield on interest-earning assets.

Average loans held for investment increased $68.39 million and $72.43 million in the second quarter and the first half of 2006, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2005. The Retail Banking segment’s average loan portfolio increased $52.42 million in the second quarter of 2006 and $55.43 million in the first half of 2006. These increases were mainly attributable to loan production in the Virginia Peninsula market and residential construction loan growth. The Consumer Finance segment’s average loan portfolio increased $15.97 million in the second quarter of 2006 and $17.00 million in the first half of 2006. These increases were mainly attributable to overall growth at existing

locations. Average loans held for sale at the Mortgage Banking segment decreased $22.28 million in the second quarter of 2006 and $11.04 million in the first half of 2006. Mortgage interest rates have progressively risen over the last twelve months resulting in a decline of 13.1 percent in loan origination volume during the second quarter of 2006. The yield on loans held for investment and loans held for sale increased as a result of a general increase in interest rates since mid-2004.

Average securities available for sale decreased $2.21 million and $2.76 million for the second quarter and the first half of 2006, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2005. In addition, their average yield declined 34 basis points and 19 basis points for the second quarter and the first half of 2006, respectively. The decline in the average balance resulted from the utilization of proceeds from maturities and calls to partially fund the increase in loan demand. The yield decreases reflected the impact of the flat yield curve on long-term interest rates.

Average interest earning deposits at other banks, primarily the FHLB, increased $2.10 million and decreased $7.38 million for the second quarter and first half of 2006, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2005. Fluctuations in the average balance of these low-yielding deposits occurred in response to loan demand. The average yield on interest-earning deposits at other banks increased 194 basis points and 220 basis points for the second quarter and first half of 2006, respectively. The yield increases reflected increases in short-term interest rates, which began in mid-2004.

Although average interest-bearing deposits increased $34.25 million and $36.42 million for the second quarter and the first half of 2006, respectively, the increase in interest on deposits was influenced to a greater extent by the increase in deposit rates. The average cost of deposits increased 88 basis points for the second quarter of 2006 and 84 basis points for the first half of 2006 due to the increase in short-term interest rates, coupled with the repricing of maturing deposits at higher interest rates.

Average borrowings increased $29.89 million and $31.59 million for the second quarter and the first half of 2006, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2005. These increases resulted from additional borrowings from a third-party lender to fund the increase in loans at the Consumer Finance segment, and a new line of credit from a third-party and the issuance of trust preferred capital securities to fund the Corporation’s repurchase of 427,186 shares of its common stock in 2005. The majority of these borrowings is indexed to short-term interest rates and reprice as short-term interest rates change. Accordingly, the average cost of borrowings increased 151 basis points and 142 basis points for the second quarter and the first half of 2006, respectively.

The net interest margin has benefited in the short term as prime-based loans have repriced as the prime rate has changed. However, we expect that the favorable impact of the deposit repricing lag will neutralize in the longer term and the cost of borrowings will continue to increase as short-term interest rates rise.

because of (1) lower gains on sales of loans as a result of increasingly narrow profit margins due to competition and (2) lower ancillary fees as a result of a decline in loan originations. Total noninterest income increased at the Retail Banking and Consumer Finance segments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 because of (1) higher service charges and fees on deposit accounts at the Retail Banking segment resulting from deposit account growth, coupled with the expansion of our overdraft protection services to PIN-generated debit card and ATM transactions and (2) higher service charges and fees at the Consumer Finance segment resulting from fees generated from loan processing and collection.

Total noninterest expense increased 8.6 percent to $11.14 million for the second quarter of 2006 compared to the second quarter of 2005 and 8.9 percent to $21.77 million for the first half of 2006 compared to the first half of 2005. The Retail Banking and the Consumer Finance segments reported increases in total noninterest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 that were primarily attributable to higher personnel and operating expenses to support growth and technology enhancements at both segments. Noninterest expense of the Retail Banking segment included costs associated with our new Hampton and Kiln Creek retail banking branches on the Virginia Peninsula, both of which opened in 2006, and our new operations center, which opened in late 2005. Total noninterest expense declined in the second quarter of 2006 and remained approximately the same in the first half of 2006 at the Mortgage Banking segment because of lower personnel costs due to lower origination volume in the second quarter.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the second quarter of 2006 totaled $1.70 million, an effective tax rate of 31.3 percent, compared with $1.38 million, or 31.4 percent, for the second quarter of 2005. Income tax expense for the first six months of 2006 totaled $2.81 million, an effective tax rate of 31.0 percent, compared with $2.53 million, or 31.1 percent, for the first six months of 2005.

ASSET QUALITY

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses represents an amount that, in our judgment, will be adequate to absorb any losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible. The provision for loan losses increases the allowance, and loans charged off, net of recoveries, reduces the allowance. The following tables summarize the allowance activity for periods indicated:

There was a $315,000 decline in 2006 in the allowance for loan losses at the combined Retail Banking and Mortgage Banking segments compared to December 31, 2005. The Bank’s nonperforming and accruing loans past due 90 days or more at December 31, 2005 consisted primarily of one commercial relationship to which we had allocated $865,000 of the allowance for loan losses. In May

Table of Contents

2006, the borrower consummated the sale of the real estate collateral for these loans and the loans were repaid in full from the sale proceeds. The decline in the allowance for loan losses resulting from the resolution of this nonperforming loan relationship was offset in part by the allocation of additional amounts in the loan loss allowance to loans downgraded during the second quarter and increased allocations for certain loans based on risks associated with industry concentrations. We believe that the current level of the allowance for loan losses of the combined Retail and Mortgage Banking segments is adequate to absorb any losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible.

The increase in the provision for loan losses during 2006 in the Consumer Finance segment, consisting solely of C&F Finance Company, occurred as a result of loan growth and higher charge-offs. The increase in charge-offs is partially attributable to fewer loan losses being deducted from dealer bad debt reserves, which are no longer being withheld from dealers. We believe that the current level of the allowance for loan losses of the Consumer Finance segment is adequate to absorb any losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible.

Nonperforming assets and accruing loans past due 90 days or more of the combined Retail and Mortgage Banking segments at December 31, 2005 consisted primarily of one commercial relationship. As previously described, these loans were repaid in full during the second quarter of 2006, which accounted for the decline in nonperforming assets in 2006. Accruing loans past due 90 days or more did not similarly decline because of the inclusion of another borrower whose loans approximating $1.89 million were repaid subsequent to June 30, 2006.

Nonaccrual loans of the Consumer Finance segment as a percentage of total consumer finance loans declined 111 basis points since December 31, 2005. Despite the improvement in asset quality, we have maintained the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans at 7.57 percent because of cyclical behavior in consumer finance delinquency trends and an increase in the amount of delinquent payment deferrals. In accordance with its policies and guidelines, C&F Finance, at times, offers payment deferrals to borrowers, whereby the borrower is allowed to move up to two delinquent payments within a twelve-month rolling period to the end of the loan, generally by paying a fee. An

account for which all delinquent payments are deferred is classified as current at the time the deferment is granted and therefore is not included as a delinquent account. Thereafter, such an account is aged based on the timely payment of future installments in the same manner as any other account. We evaluate the results of this deferment strategy based upon the amount of cash installments that are collected on accounts after they have been deferred versus the extent to which the collateral underlying the deferred accounts has depreciated over the same period of time. Based on this evaluation, we believe that payment deferrals granted according to our policies and guidelines are an effective portfolio management technique and result in higher ultimate cash collections from the portfolio. Payment deferrals may affect the ultimate timing of when an account is charged off. Increased use of deferrals may result in a lengthening of the loss confirmation period, which would increase expectations of credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio and therefore increase the allowance for loan losses and related provision for loan losses.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

At June 30, 2006, the Corporation had total assets of $715.67 million compared to $671.96 million at December 31, 2005. The increase was principally a result of an increase in loans held for sale, loans held for investment and corporate premises and equipment, which was offset in part by a decline in interest-bearing deposits in other banks. Growth in loan demand was funded by reducing the amount the Corporation placed in lower-yielding overnight funds and additional borrowings. The increase in corporate premises resulted from expenditures associated with the completion of the Bank’s Hampton and Kiln Creek branches, which opened in 2006, and the ongoing renovation of two branch buildings acquired in 2005 and located in the Richmond, Virginia area.

Loan Portfolio

The increase in loans held for investment occurred predominantly in (1) the variable-rate category of commercial loans and (2) the fixed-rate category of consumer loans at C&F Finance. Typically, growth in the variable-rate categories will favorably impact net interest margin in a rising interest rate environment. Fixed-rate consumer loans at C&F Finance are funded by variable-rate borrowings; therefore, net interest margin will be negatively impacted in a rising interest rate environment.

Deposits

Deposits totaled $511.01 million at June 30, 2006 compared to $495.44 million at December 31, 2005. This increase was primarily attributable to (i) the increase in noninterest bearing deposits, which totaled $91.45 million at June 30, 2006 compared with $78.93 million at December 31, 2005 and (ii) the increase in time deposits, which totaled $236.82 million at June 30, 2006 compared with $221.29 million at December 31, 2005. The increase in noninterest bearing deposits resulted from seasonal funds management requirements of our depositors. The increase in time deposits resulted from the effect of our competitive rate-setting strategies.

Other Borrowings

Borrowings totaled $113.02 million at June 30, 2006 compared with $92.00 million at December 31, 2005. This increase occurred in (i) the Bank’s short-term borrowings from the FHLB to fund the increase in loans held for sale at C&F Mortgage and (ii) C&F Finance’s line of credit to fund loan growth.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2006, there have been no material changes to the off-balance sheet arrangements disclosed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Contractual Obligations

As of June 30, 2006, there have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of business to the contractual obligations disclosed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Liquidity

Liquid assets, which include unrestricted cash and due from banks, interest bearing deposits at other banks and nonpledged securities available-for-sale, at June 30, 2006 totaled $53.68 million. The Corporation’s funding sources consist of an established federal funds line with a regional correspondent bank of $14.0 million that had no outstanding balance as of June 30, 2006, an established line with the FHLB that had $30.0 million outstanding under a total line of $126.85 million as of June 30, 2006, an unsecured revolving line of credit with a third-party lender that had $7.0 million outstanding under a total line of $7.0 million as of June 30, 2006 and a revolving line of credit with a third party bank that had $71.62 million outstanding under a total line of $100.0 million as of June 30, 2006. We have no reason to believe these arrangements will not be renewed at their respective maturities.

As a result of the Corporation’s management of liquid assets and the ability to generate liquidity through liability funding, we believe that the Corporation maintains overall liquidity sufficient to satisfy its operational requirements and contractual obligations.

The capital ratios presented above for the Corporation include the effect of the Corporation’s repurchase of 427,186 shares of its common stock at $41 per share on July 27, 2005. On July 21, 2005, the Corporation issued $10.0 million of trust preferred securities through a statutory business trust to partially fund the share repurchase. The trust preferred securities are treated as Tier 1 capital for regulatory capital adequacy determination purposes up to 25 percent of Tier 1 capital after their inclusion. Accordingly, the entire $10.0 million of the Corporation’s trust preferred securities is included in Tier 1 capital in the Corporation’s capital ratios presented above.

Effects of Inflation

The effect of changing prices on financial institutions is typically different from other industries as the Corporation’s assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. Interest rates are significantly impacted by inflation, but neither the timing nor the magnitude of the changes is directly related to price level indices. Impacts of inflation on interest rates, loan demand and deposits are reflected in the consolidated financial statements.

Use of Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to results presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we have presented certain non-GAAP financial measures throughout this Form 10-Q, which are reconciled to GAAP financial measures below. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide information useful to investors in understanding the Corporation’s performance trends and facilitate comparisons with its peers. Specifically, we believe the exclusion of a significant recovery of income recognized in a single accounting period permits a comparison of results for ongoing business operations, and it is on this basis that we internally assesses the Corporation’s performance and establish goals for future periods. Although we believe the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this Form 10-Q enhance investors’ understandings of the Corporation’s performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP basis financial statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no significant changes from the quantitative and qualitative disclosures made in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Pursuant to an ongoing investigation, under the supervision of the Corporation’s audit committee, the Corporation’s management uncovered evidence that two former employees of C&F Mortgage Corporation, the mortgage subsidiary of C&F Bank, acting together, embezzled approximately $2.2 million from C&F Mortgage over a period from 2003 through 2005. The former employees who perpetrated this impropriety, whose responsibilities were primarily funds management for loan closings

and fundings, accounts payable processing, bank account reconciliation preparation and general ledger functions, were not officers of the Corporation. Based on a review of the Corporation’s insurance coverage by management and outside counsel and discussions with representatives of the insurance company, management believes that any loss resulting from this embezzlement is covered by insurance, subject to a $75,000 deductible. Accordingly, management believes that the impact of this impropriety should not have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s financial position or results of operations nor should it result in changes to net income reported in its historical financial statements. The Corporation recognized a charge to income for the deductible in its second quarter financial statements. The investigation regarding this matter is ongoing and the Corporation has retained legal and accounting services to assist the Corporation’s investigation. Costs associated with these professional services are being treated as period costs.

The Corporation maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Corporation in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Corporation’s management, including the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures will detect or uncover every situation involving the failure of persons within the Corporation or its subsidiary to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in the Corporation’s periodic reports.

The Corporation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Corporation’s management, including the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2006 due to the collusive override of certain internal control procedures relating to segregation of duties in the funds management, vendor payments, expenditure review and reconciliation processes at C&F Mortgage Corporation, which enabled the embezzlement discussed above to occur.

As of the date of this filing, in response to these operational control deficiencies, the Corporation has strengthened certain of its internal control procedures as follows:

 

    Increased the number of and the procedures by which wire transfers are requested, initiated and approved;

 

    Strengthened the procedures surrounding the control of the unissued check supply and the procedures followed when signing checks;

 

    Strengthened and reissued existing procedures for reconciling the cash accounts;

 

    Strengthened the accounting staff at both the supervisory and controller positions; and

 

    Reissued certain existing procedures to reinforce their consistent application.

In connection with this Form 10-Q, the Corporation’s management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures as currently in effect, including the changes discussed above, and such officers have concluded that, as of this date, the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Management of the Corporation is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and control of the Corporation’s assets to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. There were no changes in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting during the Corporation’s second quarter ended June 30, 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting. However, subsequent to June 30, 2006, the Corporation made changes to its internal control procedures, as described above.
