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, 2007.

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, 2008, the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 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. In addition, the Corporation owns C&F Financial Statutory Trust I and C&F Financial Statutory Trust II, which are unconsolidated subsidiaries. The subordinated debt owed to these trusts is reported as a liability of the Corporation.

Share-Based Compensation: Compensation expense for the second quarter and first half of 2008 included $79,000 ($49,000 after tax) and $156,000 ($97,000 after tax) for options and restricted stock granted during 2008, 2007 and 2006. As of June 30, 2008, there was $1.1 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested restricted stock that will be recognized over the remaining requisite service periods.

The primary cause of the temporary impairments in the Corporation’s investment in debt securities was attributable to fluctuations in interest rates. There are 138 debt securities totaling $44.1 million considered temporarily impaired at June 30, 2008. 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, 2008.

The primary cause of the temporary impairments in the Corporation’s investment in preferred stock was attributable to its holdings in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac preferred stock securities. The recent decline in the market value of these holdings has resulted from the significant number of residential foreclosures being experienced industry-wide, which has served to undermine confidence in Fannie Mae’s and Freddie Mac’s ability to provide stability and affordability to the housing markets. Both government-sponsored entities (“GSEs”) assert that their capital and liquidity positions remain strong. Both GSEs are current as to their scheduled dividend payments and neither has indicated that there is any plan to suspend or defer future dividend payments. On July 30, 2008, President Bush signed the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008, which is intended to provide crucial support for the housing market and help prevent foreclosures for working families. It also establishes a series of

landmark reforms that are intended to put U.S. housing and mortgage finance on solid footing for the long term. The Corporation has evaluated the ongoing developments in relation to the severity and duration of the impairment. Based on that evaluation and the Corporation’s ability and intent to hold these investments, the Corporation does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2008.

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 retail installment sales contracts.

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.” Revenue and expenses of the Corporation are also included in “Other.” Segment information for the second quarter and first half of 2007 has been restated for the reclassification of the Corporation’s revenue and expenses from the Retail Banking segment to the Other segment in order to conform to the current year’s presentation.

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 by means of a variable rate line of credit that carries interest at one-month LIBOR plus 175 basis points and fixed rate loans that carry interest rates ranging from 5.4 percent to 8.0 percent. The Retail Banking segment acquires certain residential real estate loans 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

Effective January 1, 2008, the Corporation adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, for financial assets and financial liabilities. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The fair value hierarchy under SFAS 157 is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date, and prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value in three broad levels (Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3). Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets (as defined) for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs are inputs that include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability and reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions regarding the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

 

11


Table of Contents

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy:

Securities: Where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified as Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities would include highly liquid government bonds, mortgage products and exchange-traded equities. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flow and are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 2 securities would include U.S. agency securities, mortgage-backed agency securities, obligations of states and political subdivisions and certain corporate, asset-backed and other securities. In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, securities are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. Currently, all of the Corporation’s securities are considered to be Level 2 securities.

Loans Held for Sale: Loans held for sale are required to be measured at the lower of cost or fair value. Under SFAS 157, market value is to represent fair value. Management obtains contractual commitments to sell all of these loans directly from the purchasing financial institutions. Premiums to be received under these commitments are indicative of the fact that cost is lower than fair value. At June 30, 2008, the entire balance of the Corporation’s loans held for sale was recorded at cost.

Impaired Loans: SFAS 157 applies to loans measured for impairment using the practical expedients permitted by SFAS No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, including impaired loans measured at an observable market price (if available), or at the fair value of the loan’s collateral (if the loan is collateral dependent). Fair value of the loan’s collateral, when the loan is dependent on collateral, is determined by appraisal or independent valuation, which is then adjusted for the cost related to liquidation of the collateral.

Other Real Estate Owned: Other real estate owned (“OREO”) is measured at fair value, in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 157, less costs to sell.

Note 8

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations. SFAS 141(R) will significantly change the financial accounting and reporting of business combination transactions. It establishes the criteria for how an acquiring entity in a business combination recognizes the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction; establishes the acquisition date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed; and requires the acquirer to disclose to investors and other users all of the information they need to evaluate and understand the nature and financial effect of the business combination. Acquisition related costs including finder’s fees, advisory, legal, accounting valuation and other professional and consulting fees are required to be expensed as incurred. SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and early implementation is not permitted. The Corporation does not expect the implementation of SFAS 141(R) to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. SFAS 160 requires the Corporation to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This Statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The Corporation does not expect the implementation of SFAS 160 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. SFAS 161 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application permitted. The Corporation does not expect the implementation of SFAS 161 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2008, the FASB finalized Staff Position (“FSP”) No. EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities. This FSP affects entities that accrue cash dividends on share-based payment awards during the awards’ service period when the dividends do not need to be returned if the employees forfeit the awards. The FASB concluded that all outstanding unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to nonforfeitable dividends participate in undistributed earnings with common shareholders. Because the awards are considered participating securities, the issuing entity is required to apply the two-class method of computing basic and diluted earnings per share. The FASB also concluded that because the FSP applies to all outstanding unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to nonforfeitable dividends, changes in an entity’s forfeiture estimates from one reporting period to the next do not affect the computation of earnings per share, other than for the increase or decrease in compensation cost as a result of the application of SFAS 123(R), Share-Based Payment. The transition guidance in the FSP requires an entity to retroactively adjust all prior-period earnings-per-share computations to reflect the FSP’s provisions. The retroactive adjustments encompass earnings-per-share computations included in interim financial statements. Early adoption of the FSP is not permitted. The FSP is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Corporation is currently evaluating the effect that this FSP will have on its financial statements when implemented.

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 and related notes.

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.

Table of Contents

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 trends in delinquencies and charge-offs, 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 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. 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 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 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 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 are 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 perform 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 2007 and determined there was no impairment to be recognized in 2007. 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 noncontributory, 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, which 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 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 purchases and dividends.

Financial Performance Measures. For the Corporation, net income decreased 42.4 percent to $1.4 million for the second quarter of 2008, compared to the second quarter of 2007. Earnings per share assuming dilution decreased 39.0 percent to 47 cents for the second quarter of 2008. Net income decreased 36.4 percent to $2.8 million for the first half of 2008, compared to the first half of 2007. Earnings per share assuming dilution decreased 32.4 percent for the first half of 2008. Financial results for the second quarter and first half of 2008 were primarily affected by (1) a lower net interest margin attributable to the earlier interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve Bank and the strong competition for deposits resulting from the reduction in liquidity throughout the financial markets and (2) significantly higher provisions for loan losses at each of the Corporation’s core business segments.

The Corporation’s ROE and ROA, on an annualized basis, were 8.61 percent and 0.69 percent, respectively, for the second quarter of 2008, compared to 15.40 percent and 1.34 percent, respectively, for the second quarter of 2007. For the first half of 2008, on an annualized basis, the Corporation’s ROE and ROA were 8.67 percent and 0.71 percent, respectively, compared to 13.69 percent and 1.23 percent, respectively, for the first half of 2007. The decline in these measures resulted from lower earnings in 2008, coupled with asset growth.

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 the Retail Banking segment, which consists of the Bank, was $179,000 in 2008 compared to $1.0 million in 2007. Net income for the first six months of 2008 was $788,000 compared to $2.1 million for the first six months of 2007. The decline in quarterly and year-to-date earnings for 2008 included the effects of (1) margin compression and competition for loans and deposits on net interest income, (2) a year-to-date 2008 provision for loan losses of $660,000, of which $540,000 was recognized in the second quarter of 2008, attributable to loan growth and credit issues resulting from the general slow down in the economy, and more specifically one commercial loan customer, compared to $40,000 for the first half and second quarter of 2007, (3) higher assessments for deposit insurance resulting from the FDIC’s implementation of its amended assessment system, (4)

higher expenses associated with the enhancement of our internet banking services, and (5) higher loan expenses primarily resulting from the ongoing work-out of the commercial relationship previously mentioned. The effects of these factors were offset in part by an increase in earning assets and a lower effective income tax rate resulting from higher tax-exempt income on securities and loans as a percentage of pretax income.

The combination of declining short-term interest rates and increased competition for deposits has resulted in a pricing disparity between loans and deposits. Interest rate cuts made by the Federal Reserve Bank since September 2007 immediately reduced the Bank’s yields on variable rate loans without a corresponding reduction in deposit costs. As fixed-rate deposits matured in the second quarter of 2008, the Corporation’s funding costs stabilized and began to decline, which relieved some pressure on net interest margin. In addition, the Corporation has access to diverse sources of liquidity, which provides flexibility in managing funds and responding to deposit fluctuations. The Bank’s overall asset quality continues to be good, and a portion of its loan loss provision was attributable to $32.7 million in loan growth since December 31, 2007. However, the Bank provided specific reserves for one commercial relationship, which is on nonaccrual status and resulted in the Bank holding $1.2 million in OREO as of June 30, 2008. The Bank will incur ongoing maintenance expenses associated with holding these properties, and write-downs may be necessary if market conditions deteriorate.

Mortgage Banking: Second quarter net income for the Mortgage Banking segment, which consists of C&F Mortgage Corporation (the “Mortgage Company”), was $454,000 in 2008 compared to $610,000 in 2007. Net income for the first six months of 2008 was $738,000 compared to $957,000 for the first six months of 2007. The decline in 2008 earnings included the effects of (1) the downturn in the housing market on loan origination volume, which declined 16.4 percent and 13.2 percent for the second quarter and first half of 2008, respectively, (2) a year-to-date 2008 provision for loan losses of $512,000, of which $285,000 was recognized in the second quarter of 2008, in connection with loan repurchases, compared to no provision for loan losses in the comparable periods of 2007, (3) a second quarter 2008 write down of $130,000 in the carrying value of OREO to fair value less costs to sell, and (4) a year-to-date 2008 provision for estimated indemnification losses of $373,000, of which $368,000 was recognized in the second quarter of 2008, compared to $37,000 and $22,000 for the first half and second quarter of 2007, respectively. While we mitigate the risk of repurchase liability by underwriting to the purchasers’ guidelines, we cannot eliminate the possibility that a prolonged period of payment defaults and foreclosures will result in an increase in requests for repurchases and the need for additional provisions in the future.

While the mortgage banking industry has experienced significant operational problems and losses over the past year, our Mortgage Banking segment has continued to contribute to the Corporation’s net income. For the second quarter of 2008, the amount of loan originations at the Mortgage Company resulting from refinancings was $54.5 million compared to $60.8 million for the second quarter of 2007. Loans originated for new and resale home purchases for these two time periods were $157.2 million and $192.5 million, respectively. For the first six months of 2008, the amount of loan originations at the Mortgage Company resulting from refinancings was $117.7 million compared to $122.4 million for the first six months of 2007. Loans originated for new and resale home purchases for these two time periods were $274.5 million and $329.6 million, respectively. Despite the overall decline in 2008 origination volume, gains on sales of loans during 2008 were higher than 2007 due to higher profit margins on the type of products available to borrowers in the current economic environment. The decline in housing market values, coupled with the availability of fewer mortgage loan products and tighter underwriting guidelines, will temper demand for the foreseeable future. However, as a result of the consolidation within the mortgage banking industry, the Mortgage Company has attracted new mortgage origination talent and we believe that these additions provide the potential for increased loan production in the long term.

Consumer Finance: Second quarter net income for the Consumer Finance segment, which consists of C&F Finance Company (the “Finance Company”), was $904,000 compared to $770,000 in 2007. Net income for the first half of 2008 was $1.6 million, compared with $1.5 million for the first half of 2007. The earnings improvement in 2008 resulted from an approximate 20.0 percent increase in average consumer finance loans outstanding and an increase in net interest margin. The Finance Company has benefited from the decline in short-term interest rates, and strong loan demand in 2008. Its fixed-rate loan portfolio is partially funded by a line of credit indexed to short-term interest rates. Therefore, its cost of funds has declined and its margins have increased during 2008. However, the Finance Company has experienced higher loan charge-offs in 2008 compared to 2007, which, in combination with loan growth, has resulted in a higher provision for loan losses in 2008. Controlling charge-offs within the Finance Company’s loan portfolio will be the significant factor in realizing improved earnings in the future. If the current economic slowdown intensifies in the Finance Company’s markets, we would expect more delinquencies and repossessions. Depending on the severity of any further downturn in the economy, decreased consumer demand for automobiles and declining values of automobiles securing outstanding loans could result, which would weaken collateral coverage and increase the amount of loss in the event of default.

Capital Management. Total shareholders’ equity increased $277,000 to $65.5 million at June 30, 2008, compared to $65.2 million at December 31, 2007. This increase was attributable to net income of $2.8 million for the first half of 2008, which was offset in part by dividends to shareholders of $1.9 million and unrealized holding losses on securities of $1.0 million.

On July 24, 2008, the Corporation’s board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to 100,000 shares of the Corporation’s common stock over the next twelve months. The stock may be repurchased in the open market or through privately-negotiated transactions as management and the board of directors deem prudent. The amount and timing of any stock repurchases will depend on various factors, such as management’s assessment of the Corporation’s capital structure and liquidity, the market price of the Corporation’s common stock compared to management’s assessment of the stock’s underlying value, and applicable regulatory, legal and accounting factors. The Corporation’s previous authorization for the repurchase of up to 150,000 shares expired on July 16, 2008 with 55,400 shares having been repurchased.

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 2007 to the second quarter of 2008 and from the first half of 2007 to the first half of 2008. 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 nonaccrual loans.

Net interest income, on a taxable-equivalent basis, for the second quarter of 2008 was $10.9 million compared to $10.6 million for the second quarter of 2007. Net interest income, on a taxable-equivalent basis, for the first half of 2008 was $21.6 million compared to $20.9 million for the first half of 2007. The higher net interest income resulted primarily from increases of 12.7 percent and 11.1 percent in the average balance of interest-earning assets for the second quarter and first half of 2008, respectively, compared with the same periods in 2007. The benefit of this growth was partially offset by a decrease in net interest margin to 5.81 percent in the second quarter of 2008 from 6.32 percent in the second quarter of 2007 and to 5.86 percent in the first half of 2008 from 6.29 percent in the first half of 2007. The decrease in the net interest margin was a result of a decline in the yield on interest-earning assets that exceeded the decline in the interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. The combination of rapidly declining short-term interest rates and increased competition for deposits in 2008 has resulted in a pricing disparity between loans and deposits, which has lowered net interest margin.

Average loans held for investment increased $78.4 million and $75.1 million in the second quarter and the first half of 2008, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2007. The Retail Banking segment’s average loan portfolio increased $49.4 million in the second quarter of 2008 and $42.9 million in the first half of 2008. This increase was mainly attributable to residential mortgage loan and commercial loan growth. The Consumer Finance segment’s average loan portfolio increased $29.0 million in the second quarter of 2008 and $27.8 million in the first half of 2008. This increase was attributable to overall growth at existing locations and the expansion into new markets in 2007. The Mortgage Banking segment’s average loan portfolio increased minimally in the second quarter of 2008

and increased $4.4 million in the first half of 2008. This increase was attributable to short-term bridge loans, a new product introduced in 2007, and repurchased loans. Average loans held for sale at the Mortgage Banking segment decreased $11.9 million in the second quarter of 2008 and $7.3 million in the first half of 2008. This decrease occurred in response to loan demand. The overall yield on loans held for investment at all our business segments and loans held for sale at the Mortgage Banking segment decreased as a result of a general decrease in interest rates.

Average securities available for sale increased $21.9 million and $20.3 million in the second quarter and the first half of 2008, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2007. The increase in securities available for sale occurred predominantly in the Retail Banking segment’s municipal bond portfolio. This resulted from a plan to increase the Bank’s securities portfolio as a percentage of total assets. The lower yields in 2008 resulted from the current interest rate environment in which securities purchases were made at yields less than those being called. In addition, securities yields for the second quarter and first half of 2007 included the receipt of seven quarters of previously-suspended dividends from one preferred stock holding.

Average interest-bearing deposits at other banks, primarily the FHLB, decreased $3.8 million and $14.9 million in the second quarter and the first half of 2008, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2007. Fluctuations in the average balance of these low-yielding deposits occurred in response to loan demand, an increase in the securities portfolio, and improved cash management strategies. The average yield on interest-earning deposits at other banks decreased in 2008 due to declines in short-term interest rates since September 2007.

Average interest-bearing deposits increased $13.6 million and $8.2 million in the second quarter and the first half of 2008, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2007. The majority of the growth has occurred in lower-rate transaction accounts as opposed to higher-costing certificates of deposit. The average cost of deposits declined 39 basis points and 19 basis points in the second quarter and the first half of 2008, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2007. As sources of wholesale funding available to the financial services industry have diminished since mid-2007, competition for deposits within the industry has intensified and rates on time deposits have been slower to decline than short-term interest rates. However, as time deposits matured during the second quarter of 2008, deposit rates began to decline.

Average borrowings increased $63.4 million and $58.9 million in the second quarter and the first half of 2008, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2007. This increase was attributable to increased use of the third-party line of credit by the Consumer Finance segment to fund loan growth, increased use of borrowings from the FHLB to fund loan growth at the Retail Banking and Consumer Finance segments, and the issuance of trust preferred capital securities in late 2007 for general corporate purposes, including the refinancing of existing debt. A portion of these borrowings is indexed to short-term interest rates and reprices as short-term interest rates change. Accordingly, the average cost of borrowings decreased 218 basis points and 180 basis points during the second quarter and first half of 2008, compared to the same periods in 2007.

Interest rates will be a significant factor influencing the performance of all of the Corporation’s business segments during 2008. As fixed-rate deposits mature over the next several months, they are expected to reprice at lower interest rates, which should reduce funding costs and further relieve pressure on the net interest margin. However, additional short-term interest rate reductions may result in continued net interest margin compression at the Retail Banking segment. We also expect that declining economic conditions may result in lower overall loan growth.

Total noninterest income increased $20,000, or less than one percent, to $7.2 million during the second quarter of 2008 and increased $290,000, or 2.2 percent, to $13.3 million during the first six months of 2008, compared to the same periods in 2007. The increase primarily resulted at the Retail Banking segment from higher customer usage and a pricing increase of the Bank’s overdraft protection program, higher usage of bank card and ATM services, and a higher number of investment securities calls at premium call rates. At the Mortgage Banking segment, an increase in gains on sales of loans, which resulted from higher profit margins on loans originated and sold, was offset in large part by lower volume-dependent ancillary fees. At the Consumer Finance segment, the increase was attributable to higher loan processing fees resulting from loan growth.

Total noninterest expense increased $340,000, or 2.7 percent, to $12.7 million during the second quarter of 2008 and increased $911,000, or 3.8 percent, to $24.8 million during the first six months of 2008. The Retail Banking segment reported an increase in total noninterest expense that was primarily attributable to (1) higher assessments for deposit insurance resulting from the FDIC’s implementation of its amended assessment system, (2) higher expenses associated with the enhancement of our internet banking services, and (3) higher loan expenses primarily resulting from the ongoing work-out of one commercial relationship. The Consumer Finance segment reported an increase in total noninterest expense that was primarily attributable to higher personnel and operating expenses to support growth and technology enhancements. The Mortgage Banking segment reported a decrease in total noninterest expense that was attributable to lower production-based and processing personnel costs and operating expenses due to lower origination volume in 2008, which were offset in part by an increase in rent expense, a write-down in the carrying value of certain OREO and an increase in the provision for estimated indemnification losses.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the second quarter of 2008 totaled $413,000, resulting in an effective tax rate of 22.6 percent, compared to $1.1 million, or 30.3 percent, for the second quarter of 2007. Income tax expense for the first half of 2008 totaled $808,000, resulting in an effective tax rate of 22.1 percent, compared to $1.9 million, or 29.6 percent, for the first half of 2007. The decline in the effective tax rate during the second quarter and first half of 2008 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 the periods indicated:

During the first half of 2008, there was an $855,000 increase in the allowance for loan losses at the combined Retail Banking and Mortgage Banking segments since December 31, 2007, and the provision for loan losses increased $1.1 million and $785,000 in the first half and second quarter of 2008, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2007. These increases were attributable to loan growth at the Bank and an increase in nonaccrual loans at both the Bank and the Mortgage Company as discussed below. In addition, net charge-offs in 2008 increased $252,000 and $143,000 in the first half and second

quarter of 2008, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2007. The net charge-offs in 2008 for the combined Retail Banking and Mortgage Banking segments included write downs of certain loans to fair market value less costs to sell at the date of their foreclosure. We believe that the current level of the allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb any losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible although, additional provisions may become necessary.

The Consumer Finance segment’s allowance for loan losses increased to $11.9 million since December 31, 2007, and its provision for loan losses increased $1.6 million and $900,000 in the first half and second quarter of 2008, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2007. The increase in the provision for loan losses was attributable to higher net charge-offs in 2008, in conjunction with loan growth. The higher net charge-offs in 2008 were attributable to a decline in the recovery rate on the sale of repossessed vehicles, coupled with an increase in the number of vehicles repossessed in 2008 mainly as a result of slowing economic conditions. We believe that the current level of the allowance for loan losses at the Consumer Finance segment is adequate to absorb any losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible although, additional provisions may be come necessary.

Nonperforming assets of the Retail Banking segment totaled $3.4 million at June 30, 2008, compared to $495,000 at December 31, 2007, and included $2.9 million associated with one commercial loan relationship. This relationship has been on nonaccrual loan status since March 31, 2008. During the first half of 2008, the Bank transferred $1.2 million of nonaccrual loans to OREO in connection with this relationship. We are closely monitoring this relationship and believe that as of June 30, 2008 we have adequately provided for losses associated with this relationship. Nonperforming assets of the Mortgage Banking segment totaled $1.9 million at June 30, 2008, compared to $732,000 at December 31, 2007. This increase resulted from loans that were repurchased from investors.

Table of Contents

There has been a $455,000 decline in nonaccrual loans at the Consumer Finance segment since December 31, 2007 and the allowance for loan losses increased from $11.2 million at December 31, 2007 to $11.9 million at June 30, 2008. While the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total consumer finance loans declined 6 basis points since December 31, 2007, this ratio was maintained at the March 31, 2008 level of 6.94 percent. A decline in this ratio can occur during periods of loan growth because the purchase of automobile retail installment sales contracts does not necessarily simultaneously give rise to an allowance.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

At June 30, 2008, the Corporation had total assets of $845.3 million compared to $785.6 million at December 31, 2007. 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. Asset growth was funded with increased deposits and borrowings.

Loan Portfolio

The following table sets forth the composition of the Corporation’s loans held for investment in dollar amounts and as a percentage of the Corporation’s 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 categories of residential mortgage loans at the Bank and consumer loans at C&F Finance. Typically, growth in the variable-rate categories will negatively impact net interest income in a declining interest rate environment and growth in the fixed-rate categories will negatively impact net interest income in a rising interest rate environment. However, fixed-rate consumer loans at C&F Finance are partially funded by variable-rate borrowings; therefore, net interest margin will be favorably impacted in a declining interest rate environment.

Deposits

Deposits totaled $549.7 million at June 30, 2008, compared to $527.6 million at December 31, 2007. This increase occurred in lower-costing transaction deposits as a result of our deposit strategies that emphasize retention of multi-service customer relationships. Higher-cost time deposits increased less than one percent since December 31, 2007.

Borrowings

Borrowings totaled $215.7 million at June 30, 2008, compared to $176.0 million at December 31, 2007. This increase was attributable to funding for loan growth at the Retail Banking and Consumer Finance segments.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2008, 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, 2007.

Contractual Obligations

As of June 30, 2008, 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, 2007.

Liquidity

Liquid assets, which include cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits at other banks, federal funds sold and nonpledged securities available for sale, at June 30, 2008 totaled $70.3 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, 2008, an established federal funds line with a third-party bank of $10.0 million that had no outstanding balance as of June 30, 2008, an established line with the FHLB that had $98.4 million outstanding under a total line of

Table of Contents

$120.0 million as of June 30, 2008, and a revolving line of credit with a third-party bank that had $93.3 million outstanding under a total line of $100.0 million as of June 30, 2008. We have no reason to believe these arrangements will not be renewed at maturity, and we believe they are adequate for the foreseeable future.

As a result of the Corporation’s 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 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.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

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 effective as of June 30, 2008 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’s rules and forms 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 required to be set forth in the Corporation’s periodic reports.

Management of the Corporation is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting 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, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.
