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, 2006.
In the opinion of C&F Financial Corporations management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the financial position as of September 30, 2007 and the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 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 (C&F Bank or the Bank), with all significant intercompany transactions and accounts being eliminated in consolidation. In addition, the Corporation owns C&F Financial Statutory Trust I, an unconsolidated subsidiary. The subordinated debt owed to the trust is reported as a liability of the Corporation.
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.
The Corporation has elected to follow the modified prospective transition method allowed by SFAS 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. Compensation expense for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2007 included $72,000 ($45,000 after tax) and $224,000 ($139,000 after tax), respectively, for options and restricted stock granted during 2007 and 2006. As of September 30, 2007, there was $819,000 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested stock options and restricted stock that will be recognized over the remaining requisite service period.

The total intrinsic value of in-the-money options exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $439,000. Cash received from option exercises during the same period was $477,000. The Corporation issues new shares to satisfy the exercise of stock options.
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 nine months of 2007, the Corporation purchased 192,020 shares of its common stock in negotiated and open-market transactions at prices ranging from $37.25 to $45.07. During the first nine months of 2006, the Corporation purchased 13,122 shares of its common stock in open-market transactions at prices from $37.27 to $40.00.

The primary cause of the temporary impairments in the Corporations investment in debt securities was the decline in prices as market interest rates have risen. There are 61 debt securities and four equity securities totaling $23.1 million and $1.7 million, respectively, considered temporarily impaired at September 30, 2007. 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 September 30, 2007.
Securities in an unrealized loss position at December 31, 2006 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.

The Retail Banking segment extends a warehouse line of credit to the Mortgage Banking segment, providing the funds needed to originate mortgage loans. The Retail Banking segment charges the Mortgage Banking segment interest at the daily Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advance rate plus 50 basis points. The 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 175 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 September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements but may change current practice for some entities. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those years. The Corporation does not expect the implementation of SFAS 157 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. The fair value option established by SFAS 159 permits all entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. A business entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The fair value option may be applied instrument by instrument and is irrevocable. SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entitys first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The Corporation is currently evaluating the effect SFAS 159 may have on its consolidated financial statements.

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 require 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
13
Table of Contents
determining the adequacy of the allowance is based on evaluations of the collectibility of loans while taking into consideration such factors as trends in delinquencies and charge-offs, changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions that may affect a borrowers ability to repay, overall portfolio quality 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 loans 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. We maintain a valuation allowance to the extent that the measure of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment.
Impairment of Securities: Impairment of investment securities results in a write-down that must be included in net income when a market price 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 price 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 Corporations goodwill, all of which was recognized in connection with the Banks acquisition of C&F Finance Company 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 sensitivity analyses 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 2006 and determined there was no impairment to be recognized in 2006. 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 Banks 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 assets, liabilities or expense.
Accounting for Income Taxes: Determining the Corporations 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 Corporations tax returns are subject to audit by various tax authorities. Although we believe that our 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 Corporations earnings and to deploy capital in profitable growth initiatives that will enhance long-term 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 Corporations three principal business activities: retail banking, mortgage banking and consumer finance. We also actively manage our capital through growth, stock purchases and dividends.
Financial Performance Measures. For the Corporation, net income decreased 26.6 percent to $2.3 million for the third quarter of 2007 compared to the third quarter of 2006. Earnings per share assuming dilution decreased 23.2 percent to 73 cents for the third quarter of 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. Net income decreased 27.8 percent to $6.8 million for the first nine months of 2007 compared to the first nine months of 2006. Earnings per share assuming dilution decreased 25.9 percent to $2.12 for the first nine months of 2007 compared to the same period in 2006.
Net income for the first nine months of 2006 included $728,000, after tax, attributable to the recovery of past due interest and a reduction in the Corporations loan loss allowance in connection with the pay-off of previously nonperforming loans of one commercial relationship. Excluding the after-tax effect of this loan pay-off, the Corporations net income for the first nine months of 2007 decreased 21.8 percent and earnings per share assuming dilution decreased 19.7 percent. Earnings results in 2007 were negatively affected at the Retail Banking segment and the Consumer Finance segment by net interest margin compression, higher provisions for loan losses attributable in part to loan growth, and higher operating expenses associated with expansion initiatives. A decline in earnings at the Mortgage Banking segment resulted from a reduction in refinancings and a downturn in the new and resale housing markets.
For the third quarter of 2007, on an annualized basis, the Corporations ROE was 14.21 percent and its ROA was 1.21 percent, compared to 19.15 percent and 1.78 percent, respectively, for the third quarter of 2006. For the first nine months of 2007, on an annualized basis, the Corporations ROE was 13.82 percent and its ROA was 1.22 percent, compared to 19.86 percent and 1.82 percent, respectively, for the first nine months of 2006 (and 18.32 percent and 1.67 percent for the first nine months of 2006, adjusted to exclude the effect of the commercial loan pay-off in 2006). The decline in these measures resulted from lower earnings in 2007 and asset growth, offset in part by stock repurchases.
Principal Business Activities. An overview of the financial results for each of the Corporations principal segments is presented below. A more detailed discussion is included in Results of Operations.
Retail Banking: Pretax earnings for the Retail Banking segment were $1.3 million for the third quarter of 2007, compared with $2.1 million for the third quarter of 2006. Pretax earnings for the Retail Banking segment were $3.5 million for the first nine months of 2007, compared with $7.0 million for the first nine months of 2006 (and $5.8 million for the first nine months of 2006, adjusted to exclude the effect of the commercial loan pay-off in 2006). The decline in earnings for 2007 included (1) the effects of margin compression and competition on net interest income, (2) a higher provision for loan losses attributable to loan growth, (3) the effects
15
Table of Contents
on operating expenses of the Peninsula and Richmond branch openings and the operations center relocation, (4) higher operational and administrative personnel costs to support growth and (5) the recognition of compensation expense, in accordance with accounting principles effective beginning in 2006, in connection with the Corporations issuance of stock options to directors and the issuance of restricted stock to employees under existing plans. Net interest margin compression continued at the Retail Banking segment as the cost of deposits continued to rise, while rates on interest-earning assets remained level. C&F Bank opened four new branches within a 15-month period beginning in the first quarter of 2006. As a result, the Retail Banking segment is incurring operating expenses for these branches before they have generated sufficient new loan and deposit growth to become profitable. Even though these costs will impact the Corporations short-term profits, we expect these branches will contribute to the Corporations long-term profitability.
Mortgage Banking: Pretax earnings for the Mortgage Banking segment were $779,000 for the third quarter of 2007, compared with $1.1 million for the third quarter of 2006. Pretax earnings for the Mortgage Banking segment were $2.3 million for the first nine months of 2007, compared with $2.8 million for the first nine months of 2006. The decline in earnings for 2007 included (1) the effects of the downturn in the housing market on loan origination volume, which declined 13.4 percent and 7.9 percent in the third quarter and the first nine months, respectively, of 2007, and (2) higher operating expenses in 2007 related to new offices and higher business development costs in order to generate more loan production. For the third quarter of 2007, the amount of loan originations at C&F Mortgage resulting from refinancings was $55.7 million compared to $54.6 million for the third quarter of 2006. Loans originated for new and resale home purchases for these two time periods were $150.9 million and $183.9 million, respectively. For the first nine months of 2007, the amount of loan originations at C&F Mortgage Corporation resulting from refinancings was $178.1 million compared to $193.1 million for the first nine months of 2006. Loans originated for new and resale home purchases for these two nine-month periods were $480.5 million compared to $522.1 million. Future earnings of the Mortgage Banking segment may continue to be negatively affected if interest rate trends and the overall condition of the housing market result in fewer new and resale home sales and loan refinancings. However, we plan to continue to expand into new and within existing markets that provide the potential for increased loan production.
Consumer Finance: Pretax earnings for the Consumer Finance segment were $1.0 million for the third quarter of 2007, compared with $1.3 million for the third quarter of 2006. Pretax earnings for the Consumer Finance segment were $3.5 million for the first nine months of 2007, compared with $3.7 million for the first nine months of 2006. Earnings of the Consumer Finance segment have benefited from an increase in net interest income resulting from average loan growth of 25.3 percent for the third quarter of 2007 and 21.7 percent for the first nine months of 2007. However, the Consumer Finance segments net interest margins for both the third quarter and the first nine months of 2007 declined as a result of an increase in the cost of variable-rate borrowings, which are indexed to short-term interest rates, without a corresponding increase in its fixed-rate loan portfolio. In addition, C&F Finance has entered into new markets and strengthened its position in existing markets over the past 12 months resulting in an increase in overhead expenses. The provision for loan losses increased during the third quarter and first nine months of 2007 as a result of higher charge-offs attributable to an increase in the number of vehicles repossessed in 2007, coupled with an increasing average balance per loan originated over the last several years. We believe that the investments in technology, new markets and people at the Consumer Finance segment have established a platform with the capacity to support current operations and future growth. Future earnings at the Consumer Finance segment may be 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 shareholders equity decreased $3.7 million to $64.3 million at September 30, 2007, compared to $68.0 million at December 31, 2006. This decline was attributable to dividends to shareholders of $2.8 million and the purchase of 192,020 shares of the Corporations common stock totaling $8.0 million during 2007, the effects of which were offset in part by earnings in 2007. The board of directors has maintained the quarterly dividend level at 31 cents per share during 2007 despite the decline in earnings, resulting in a dividend payout ratio of 42.0 percent for the first nine months of 2007 compared to 28.6 percent for the same period in 2006. The share purchases were made under a board authorization on November 3, 2006 to purchase up to 150,000 shares over the twelve months ending November 3, 2007, which was terminated and replaced by an authorization on July 17, 2007 to purchase up to 150,000 shares of the Corporations common stock over the twelve months ending July 16, 2008.

Table of Contents
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 third quarter of 2006 to the third quarter of 2007 and from the first nine months of 2006 to the first nine months of 2007. 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.

(1) | The change in loan interest income due to changes in interest rates includes an increase of $172,000, which was included in loan interest income in the third quarter and the first nine months of 2007 for nonaccrual interest attributable to the repayment of previously nonperforming loans, and a decline of $870,000, which was included in loan interest income in the first nine months of 2006 for nonaccrual and default interest attributable to the repayment of previously nonperforming loans of one commercial relationship. |
Net interest income, on a taxable-equivalent basis, for the third quarter of 2007 was $11.1 million compared to $10.3 million for the third quarter of 2006. Net interest income, on a taxable-equivalent basis, for the first nine months of 2007 was $32.0 million compared to $31.0 million for the first nine months of 2006 ($30.1 million adjusted to exclude the $870,000 of nonaccrual and default interest attributable to the commercial loan pay-off). The net interest margin was 6.34 percent for the third quarter of 2007 compared

to 6.44 percent for the third quarter of 2006, and 6.32 percent for the first nine months of 2007 compared to 6.56 percent for the first nine months of 2006 (and 6.42 percent for the first nine months of 2006, adjusted to exclude the effect of the commercial loan pay-off in 2006).
The higher net interest income for the third quarter and for the first nine months of 2007 over the same periods in 2006 excluding the loan pay-off resulted primarily from the increases in the average balance of interest-earning assets of 8.8 percent and 7.6 percent for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2007, respectively, the effects of which were offset in part by decreases in net interest margin for those same periods.
Average loans held for investment increased $65.8 million and $47.8 million in the third quarter and the first nine months of 2007, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2006. The Retail Banking segments average loan portfolio increased $31.5 million in the third quarter of 2007 and $20.8 million in the first nine months of 2007. These increases were mainly attributable to commercial loan growth. The Consumer Finance segments average loan portfolio increased $31.2 million in the third quarter of 2007 and $25.5 million in the first nine months of 2007. These increases were attributable to overall growth at existing locations and expansion into new markets. The Mortgage Banking segments average loan portfolio increased $3.1 million in the third quarter of 2007 and $1.5 million in the first nine months of 2007. These increases were attributable to short-term bridge loans, a new product initiated in 2007. Average loans held for sale at the Mortgage Banking segment decreased $14.8 million in the third quarter of 2007 and $6.0 million in the first nine months of 2007, compared to the same periods in 2006. Variations in the average balances of loans held for sale occurred in response to loan demand, coupled with fluctuations in the timing of loan originations and sales within the periods. The higher yields on loans held for investment and loans held for sale during the third quarter and the first nine months of 2007 were due to a general increase in interest rates.
Average securities available for sale increased $10.4 million and $5.2 million for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2007, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2006. In addition, their average yield increased 18 basis points and 24 basis points for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2007, respectively. The increase in securities available for sale occurred predominantly in the Retail Banking segments municipal portfolio. Additions during 2007 focused on longer-term municipal securities. Yields for the first nine months of 2007 included the receipt of dividends from one preferred stock holding, which had previously suspended dividend payments.
Average interest-bearing deposits in other banks, primarily the FHLB, decreased $5.4 million and increased $818,000 for the third quarter and first nine months of 2007, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2006. Fluctuations in the average balance of these lower-yielding deposits occurred in response to loan demand. The average yield on interest-bearing deposits in other banks increased 15 basis points and 44 basis points for the third quarter and first nine months of 2007, respectively. The higher yields were due to increases in short-term interest rates through mid-2006.
Average interest-bearing deposits increased $36.4 million and $36.9 million for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2007, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2006. However, the increase in interest on deposits was influenced to a greater extent by the increase in deposit rates. The average cost of deposits increased 63 basis points for the third quarter of 2007 and 74 basis points for the first nine months of 2007 due to the increase in short-term interest rates, coupled with the repricing of maturing certificates of deposit at higher interest rates and a decrease in the proportion of transaction accounts relative to total interest-bearing deposits due to the competitive environment for these lower-costing deposits.

Average borrowings increased $16.2 million and $6.5 million for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2007, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2006. The increases in 2007 as compared to the same periods in the prior year resulted primarily from increased use of the third-party line of credit by the Consumer Finance segment to fund loan growth and from increased use of short-term borrowings from the FHLB by the Retail Banking segment. These borrowings are indexed to short-term interest rates and reprice as short-term interest rates change. Accordingly, the average cost of borrowings increased 42 basis points for the first nine months of 2007 due to rising short-term interest rates through mid-2006. The nominal five basis points increase in the average cost of borrowings for the third quarter of 2007 reflected the stabilization of short-term interest rates after mid-2006. In addition, unpredictable fluctuations in LIBOR, which are believed to have been triggered in part by the funding crisis in the housing markets, temporarily increased the Consumer Finance segments variable-rate borrowings during the third quarter of 2007.
Interest rates will be a significant factor influencing the performance of all of the Corporations business segments during 2007. Deposits repricing at higher rates relative to their maturing rates, coupled with continued lending competition and a flat interest rate yield curve, are contributing to net interest margin compression at the Retail Banking segment. The interest rate environment together with the sustained downturn in the housing market is resulting in lower demand for home mortgage loans at the Mortgage Banking segment.

Total noninterest income decreased $743,000, or 10.3 percent, to $6.4 million during the third quarter of 2007 and decreased $651,000, or 3.3 percent, to $19.4 million during the first nine months of 2007. The decrease in noninterest income during the third quarter of 2007 occurred primarily at the Mortgage Banking segment and was attributable to lower gains on loan sales and lower ancillary fees due to the ongoing effects of lower demand for home mortgage loans, tightening secondary market underwriting criteria and increased competition. During the first nine months of 2007, the decline in noninterest income at the Mortgage Banking segment resulting from the 7.9 percent decrease in loan origination volume was offset in part by an increase in noninterest income at the Retail Banking segment attributable to higher service charges and fees on deposit accounts resulting from deposit account growth and the expansion of our overdraft protection services. Increased revenue from brokerage services further offset the decline in the Mortgage Banking segment.

The Retail Banking and the Consumer Finance segments reported increases in total noninterest expense 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 operating expenses associated with our new Patterson Avenue and Chester retail banking branches in the Richmond, Virginia area, which opened in the first quarter of 2007, our Hampton and Yorktown retail banking branches on the Virginia Peninsula, which opened in 2006, and our new operations center, which opened in late 2005. Noninterest expenses of the Consumer Finance segment included costs associated with building depth in our sales force, entering new markets and increasing the administrative staff to support the increase in the loan portfolio. Total noninterest expense decreased during the third quarter and the first nine months of 2007 at the Mortgage Banking segment because of lower production-based personnel expenses as a result of the decline in loan production. These declines were offset in part by higher occupancy and other expenses, associated with opening new loan production offices in 2007 and 2006, and higher business development costs to generate more loan production.

Income Taxes
Income tax expense for the third quarter of 2007 totaled $901,000, resulting in an effective tax rate of 28.3 percent, compared to $1.4 million, or 31.6 percent, for the third quarter of 2006. Income tax expense for the first nine months of 2007 totaled $2.8 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 29.2 percent, compared to $4.3 million, or 31.2 percent, for the first nine months of 2006. The decline in the effective tax rate during the third quarter and first nine months of 2007 resulted from higher tax-exempt income on securities and loans as a percentage of pretax income.

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 has been an increase in the allowance for loan losses at the combined Retail Banking and Mortgage Banking segments since December 31, 2006. This increase resulted from net recoveries in 2007, coupled with a $160,000 provision for loan losses attributable to loan growth. We believe that the current level of the allowance for loan losses is appropriate to cover any losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible.
The Consumer Finance segment accounted for the majority of the activity in the allowance for loan losses during 2007. The increase in the provision for loan losses occurred as a result of loan growth and higher charge-offs. The increase in net charge-offs during 2007 was attributable to an increase in the number of vehicles repossessed in 2007, coupled with a higher average balance per loan originated over the last several years. Despite the increase in net charge-offs, our ratio of charge-offs as a percentage of average loans continues to be below the industry average. We diligently monitor credit quality and we believe that the allowance for loan losses is appropriate to cover any losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible.

At the combined Retail and Mortgage Banking segments, the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans declined five basis points since December 31, 2006 as a result of loan growth. Nonetheless, the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to nonperforming assets increased because nonperforming assets have declined since December 31, 2006 primarily as a result of loan repayments.
At the Consumer Finance segment, the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total consumer finance loans declined 56 basis points as a result of loan growth and higher charge-offs during 2007. Based on our evaluation of the Consumer Finance segments rates of delinquencies, defaults, repossessions and losses, we believe that the current level of the allowance for loan losses at the Consumer Finance segment is appropriate to cover any losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
At September 30, 2007, the Corporation had total assets of $774.2 million compared to $734.5 million at December 31, 2006. The increase was principally a result of an increase in loans held for investment at the Retail Banking and Consumer Finance segments and an increase in investment securities at the Retail Banking segment, which were offset in part by a decline in interest-bearing deposits in other banks used to partially fund loan growth and a decline in loans held for sale.
Loan Portfolio
The following table sets forth the composition of the Corporations loans held for investment in dollar amounts and as a percentage of the Corporations total gross loans held for investment at the dates indicated:

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 negatively impact net interest margin in a declining 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.

The increase in securities available for sale occurred predominantly in the municipal portfolio. Additions since December 31, 2006 focused on longer-term municipal securities.
Deposits
Deposits totaled $534.2 million at September 30, 2007 compared to $532.8 million at December 31, 2006. The increase in deposits predominantly occurred at the new branches opened in 2006 and 2007. An increase of $18.3 million in time deposits was offset in part by a $3.8 million decline in noninterest-bearing demand deposits and a $13.1 million decline in savings and interest-bearing demand deposits. This shift is a result of the competitive environment for lower-costing transaction deposits.
Borrowings
Borrowings totaled $161.0 million at September 30, 2007 compared to $115.1 million at December 31, 2006. This increase was attributable to funding loan growth at the Retail Banking and Consumer Finance segments with wholesale funds, primarily advances from the FHLB.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2007, there have been no material changes to the off-balance sheet arrangements disclosed in Managements Discussion and Analysis in the Corporations Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Contractual Obligations
As of September 30, 2007, there have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of business to the contractual obligations disclosed in Managements Discussion and Analysis in the Corporations Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Liquidity
Liquid assets, which include unrestricted cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in other banks, federal funds sold and nonpledged securities available-for-sale, at September 30, 2007 totaled $52.7 million. The Corporations 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 September 30, 2007, an established line with the FHLB that had $71.5 million outstanding under a total line of $125.6 million as of September 30, 2007, 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 September 30, 2007 and a revolving line of credit with a third-party bank that had $69.7 million outstanding under a total line of $100.0 million as of September 30, 2007. We have no reason to believe these arrangements will not be renewed at maturity.
As a result of the Corporations management of liquid assets and the ability to generate liquidity through liability funding, management believes that the Corporation maintains overall liquidity sufficient to satisfy its operational requirements and contractual obligations.

Effects of Inflation
The effect of changing prices on financial institutions is typically different from other industries as the Corporations 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) for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we have presented certain non-GAAP financial measures throughout this Form 10-Q, which are reconciled to their equivalent GAAP financial measures below. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide information useful to investors in understanding the Corporations performance trends and facilitate comparisons with its peers. Specifically, we believe the exclusion from net income of a significant recovery of income recognized in a single accounting period in 2006 permits a comparison of results for ongoing business operations, and it is on this basis that we internally assess the Corporations 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 Corporations 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 Corporations Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
The Corporation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Corporations management, including the Corporations Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Corporations 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 Corporations disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2007 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 Corporations management, including the Corporations 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 Corporations 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 Corporations periodic reports.
Management of the Corporation is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and control of the Corporations 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 Corporations internal control over financial reporting during the Corporations third quarter ended September 30, 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporations internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A. | RISK FACTORS |
The following is added to the risk factors set forth under Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in the Corporations 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K:
Certain credit markets have experienced difficult conditions and volatility during 2007 and there has been an increase in mortgage loan foreclosures throughout the United States. The majority of these foreclosures appear to involve borrowers who had financed home purchases or refinanced existing home mortgage loans with so-called subprime mortgage loans or alternative loan products. Mortgage loan foreclosures can result in increases in loan losses and require mortgage lenders to take ownership of the foreclosed real properties in order to mitigate potential loan losses, which can result in increased noninterest expenses.
The Corporation originates a variety of residential loan products for sale into the secondary market through its Mortgage Banking segment. These products include conventional residential mortgages, which are generally considered prime loans, and alternative loan products. This latter category of loans includes loans with higher loan to value ratios, loans with no or limited verification of a borrowers income or net worth stated on the loan application, and loans to borrowers with lower credit ratings, referred to as FICO scores. The general market for these alternative loan products across the country has declined as a result of increasing market rates of interest, moderating real estate prices, increased payment defaults by borrowers and increased loan foreclosures. These factors may result in potential repurchase liability to our mortgage company on residential mortgage loans originated and sold into the secondary market. While we mitigate the risk of repurchase requests by underwriting to the purchasers guidelines and do not believe that our exposure to this liability is significant at this time, we cannot be assured that a prolonged period of payment defaults and foreclosures will not result in requests for repurchases, which would adversely affect the Corporations net income.
