NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation: The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial reporting and with applicable quarterly reporting regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). They do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP 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, 2010.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of C&F Financial Corporation (the Corporation) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Citizens and Farmers Bank (the Bank or C&F Bank). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In addition, C&F Financial 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.

Nature of Operations: The Corporation is a bank holding company incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The Corporation owns all of the stock of its subsidiary, C&F Bank, which is an independent commercial bank chartered under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The Bank and its subsidiaries offer a wide range of banking and related financial services to both individuals and businesses.

The Bank has five wholly-owned subsidiaries: C&F Mortgage Corporation and Subsidiaries (C&F Mortgage), C&F Finance Company (C&F Finance), C&F Title Agency, Inc., C&F Investment Services, Inc. and C&F Insurance Services, Inc., all incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. C&F Mortgage, organized in September 1995, was formed to originate and sell residential mortgages and through its subsidiaries, Hometown Settlement Services LLC and Certified Appraisals LLC, provides ancillary mortgage loan production services, such as loan settlements, title searches and residential appraisals. C&F Finance, acquired on September 1, 2002, is a regional finance company providing automobile loans. C&F Title Agency, Inc., organized in October 1992, primarily sells title insurance to the mortgage loan customers of the Bank and C&F Mortgage. C&F Investment Services, Inc., organized in April 1995, is a full-service brokerage firm offering a comprehensive range of investment services. C&F Insurance Services, Inc., organized in July 1999, owns an equity interest in an insurance agency that sells insurance products to customers of the Bank, C&F Mortgage and other financial institutions that have an equity interest in the agency. Business segment data is presented in Note 8.

Basis of Presentation: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the allowance for indemnifications, impairment of loans, impairment of securities, the valuation of other real estate owned, the projected benefit obligation under the defined benefit pension plan, the valuation of deferred taxes, the valuation of derivative financial instruments and goodwill impairment. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations in these financial statements, have been made. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation.

Derivative Financial Instruments: The Corporation recognizes derivative financial instruments at fair value as either an other asset or other liability in the consolidated balance sheet. The derivative financial instruments have been designated as and qualify as cash flow hedges. The effective portion of the gain or loss on cash flow hedges is reported as a component of other comprehensive income, net of deferred income taxes, and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.

Share-Based Compensation: Compensation expense for the first quarter of 2011 included $107,000 ($67,000 after tax) for restricted stock granted since 2006. As of March 31, 2011, there was $1,155,000 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested restricted stock that will be recognized over the remaining requisite service periods.

Recent Significant Accounting Pronouncements:

In July 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-20, Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses (ASU 2010-20). The new disclosure guidance significantly expands the existing disclosure requirements and is intended to lead to greater transparency into a company’s exposure to credit losses from lending arrangements. The extensive new disclosures of information as of the end of a reporting period became effective for both interim and annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2010. Specific items regarding activity that occurred before the issuance of the ASU, such as the allowance rollforward and modification disclosures, are required for periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of ASU 2010-20 did not have a material effect on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements. The required disclosures have been included in the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-28, When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts. The amendments in this ASU modify Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. For public entities, the amendments in this ASU were effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. Early adoption was not permitted. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material effect on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-01, Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings in Update No. 2010-20. The amendments in this ASU temporarily delay the effective date of the disclosures about troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) in ASU 2010-20 for public entities. The delay is intended to allow the FASB time to complete its deliberations on what constitutes a TDR. The effective date of the new disclosures about TDRs for public entities and the guidance for determining what constitutes a TDR will then be coordinated. Currently, that guidance is anticipated to be effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2011.

In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-02, A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring. The amendments in this ASU are intended to provide guidance to allow a creditor to determine whether a restructuring is a TDR by clarifying the guidance on a creditor’s evaluation of whether it has granted a concession or not and whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties or not. The amendments in this ASU are effective for periods beginning after June 15, 2011 and should be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the annual period of adoption. Upon adoption, the disclosure requirements promulgated in ASU 2010-20 related to TDRs will become effective. The adoption of these new disclosures is not expected to have a material effect on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of securities, all of which were classified as available for sale, at March 31, 2011, by the earlier of contractual maturity or expected maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

 

		March 31, 2011
(Dollars in thousands)		Amortized Cost				Estimated Fair Value
Due in one year or less		$	25,501			$	25,611
Due after one year through five years			35,470				35,757
Due after five years through ten years			45,346				45,927
Due after ten years			27,862				28,456
Preferred stock			27				79
		$	134,206			$	135,830

Proceeds from the maturities, calls and sales of securities available for sale for the three months ended March 31, 2011 were $6.83 million.

The Corporation pledges securities primarily as collateral for public deposits and repurchase agreements. Securities with an aggregate amortized cost of $92.85 million and an aggregate fair value of $94.17 million were pledged at March 31, 2011. Securities with an aggregate amortized cost of $93.56 million and an aggregate fair value of $94.28 million were pledged at December 31, 2010.

Securities in an unrealized loss position at March 31, 2011, by duration of the period of the unrealized loss, are shown below.

 

		Less Than 12 Months								12 Months or More								Total
(Dollars in thousands)		Fair Value				Unrealized Loss				Fair Value				Unrealized Loss				Fair Value				Unrealized Loss
U.S. government agencies and corporations		$	2,983			$	14			$	—			$	—			$	2,983			$	14

Obligations of states and political subdivisions			31,360				633				1,178				112				32,538				745
Total temporarily impaired securities		$	34,884			$	651			$	1,178			$	112			$	36,062			$	763

There are 108 debt securities with fair values totaling $36.06 million considered temporarily impaired at March 31, 2011. The primary cause of the temporary impairments in the Corporation’s investments in debt securities was fluctuations in interest rates. During the first quarter of 2011, the municipal bond sector, which is included in the Corporation’s obligations of states and political subdivisions category of securities, experienced rising securities prices as rates fell due to the dramatic slowdown of new municipal bond issuance. The drop in supply was due to Congress not reauthorizing the Build America Bond program to continue after 2010 and reluctance on the part of municipalities to incur more debt service given the challenges many face in balancing budgets. The vast majority of the

Corporation’s municipal bond portfolio is made up of securities where the issuing municipalities have unlimited taxing authority to support their debt servicing obligations. At March 31, 2011, approximately 96% of the Corporation’s obligations of states and political subdivisions, as measured by market value, were rated “A” or better by Standard & Poor’s or Moody’s Investors Service. Of those in a net unrealized loss position, approximately 96% were rated “A” or better at March 31, 2011. Because the Corporation intends to hold these investments in debt securities to maturity and it is more likely than not that the Corporation will not be required to sell these investments before a recovery of unrealized losses, the Corporation does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2011 and no impairment has been recognized.

Securities in an unrealized loss position at December 31, 2010, by duration of the period of the unrealized loss, are shown below.

The Corporation’s investment in Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock totaled $3.89 million at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010. FHLB stock is generally viewed as a long-term investment and as a restricted investment security, which is carried at cost, because there is no market for the stock, other than the FHLBs or member institutions. Therefore, when evaluating FHLB stock for impairment, its value is based on the ultimate recoverability of the par value rather than by recognizing temporary declines in value. The Corporation does not consider this investment to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2011 and no impairment has been recognized. FHLB stock is shown as a separate line item on the balance sheet and is not a part of the available for sale securities portfolio.

NOTE 7: Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. U.S. GAAP requires that valuation techniques maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. U.S. GAAP also establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the valuation inputs into three broad levels. Based on the underlying inputs, each fair value measurement in its entirety is reported in one of the three levels. These levels are:

 

•

Level 1—Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets. Level 1 assets and liabilities include debt and equity securities traded in an active exchange market, as well as U.S. Treasury securities.

 

•

Level 2—Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Valuations of other real estate owned are based upon appraisals by independent, licensed appraisers, general market conditions and recent sales of like properties.

 

•

Level 3—Valuation is determined using model-based techniques with significant assumptions not observable in the market.

U.S. GAAP allows an entity the irrevocable option to elect fair value (the fair value option) for the initial and subsequent measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis. The Corporation has not made any fair value option elections as of March 31, 2011.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

The Corporation is also required to measure and recognize certain other financial assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in the consolidated balance sheets. For assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and still held on the consolidated balance sheets, the following table provides the fair value measures by level of valuation assumptions used. Fair value adjustments for other real estate owned (OREO) are recorded in other noninterest expense and fair value adjustments for loans held for investment are recorded in the provision for loan losses, in the consolidated statements of income.

The following describes the valuation techniques used by the Corporation to measure financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

Cash and short-term investments. The nature of these instruments and their relatively short maturities provide for the reporting of fair value equal to the historical cost.

Securities Available for Sale. Securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.

Loans, net. The estimated fair value of the loan portfolio is based on present values using discount rates equal to the market rates currently charged on similar products.

Certain loans are accounted for under ASC Topic 310 - Receivables, 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). Collateral may be in the form of real estate or business assets including equipment, inventory and accounts receivable. A significant portion of the collateral securing the Corporation’s impaired loans is real estate. The fair value of real estate collateral is determined utilizing an income or market valuation approach based on an appraisal conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser outside of the Corporation using observable market data, which in some cases may be adjusted to reflect current trends, including sales prices, expenses, absorption periods and other current relevant factors (Level 2). The value of business equipment is based upon an outside appraisal if deemed significant, or the net book value on the applicable business’s financial statements, if not considered significant, using observable market data (Level 2). At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Corporation’s impaired loans were valued at $13.96 million and $13.78 million, respectively.

Loans Held for Sale. Loans held for sale are required to be measured at the lower of cost or fair value. These loans currently consist of residential loans originated for sale in the secondary market. Fair value is based on the price secondary markets are currently offering for similar loans using observable market data, which is generally not materially different than cost due to the short duration between origination and sale (Level 2). As such, the Corporation records any fair value adjustments on a nonrecurring basis. No nonrecurring fair value adjustments were recorded on loans held for sale during the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Accrued interest receivable. The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates fair value.

Deposits. The fair value of all demand deposit accounts is the amount payable at the report date. For all other deposits, the fair value is determined using the discounted cash flow method. The discount rate was equal to the rate currently offered on similar products.

Borrowings. The fair value of borrowings is determined using the discounted cash flow method. The discount rate was equal to the rate currently offered on similar products.

Derivative payable. The fair value of derivatives is determined using the discounted cash flow method.

Accrued interest payable. The carrying amount of accrued interest payable approximates fair value.

Letters of credit. The estimated fair value of letters of credit is based on estimated fees the Corporation would pay to have another entity assume its obligation under the outstanding arrangements. These fees are not considered material.

Table of Contents

Unused portions of lines of credit. The estimated fair value of unused portions of lines of credit is based on estimated fees the Corporation would pay to have another entity assume its obligation under the outstanding arrangements. These fees are not considered material.

The Corporation assumes interest rate risk (the risk that general interest rate levels will change) as a result of its normal operations. As a result, the fair values of the Corporation’s financial instruments will change when interest rate levels change and that change may be either favorable or unfavorable to the Corporation. Management attempts to match maturities of assets and liabilities to the extent believed necessary to balance minimizing interest rate risk and increasing net interest income in current market conditions. However, borrowers with fixed rate obligations are less likely to prepay in a rising rate environment and more likely to prepay in a falling rate environment. Conversely, depositors who are receiving fixed rates are more likely to withdraw funds before maturity in a rising rate environment and less likely to do so in a falling rate environment. Management monitors interest rates, maturities and repricing dates of assets and liabilities and attempts to manage interest rate risk by adjusting terms of new loans, deposits and borrowings and by investing in securities with terms that mitigate the Corporation’s overall interest rate risk.

NOTE 8: Business Segments

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 segment includes 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 the other segment 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,” and consist primarily of dividends received on the Corporation’s investment in equity securities, interest expense associated with the Corporation’s trust preferred capital notes and other general corporate expenses.

The Retail Banking segment extends a warehouse line of credit to the Mortgage Banking segment, providing a portion of the funds needed to originate mortgage loans. The Retail Banking segment charges the Mortgage Banking segment interest at the daily 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 200 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 9: Commitments and Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk

C&F Mortgage sells substantially all of the residential mortgage loans it originates to third-party investors, some of whom may require the repurchase of loans in the event of loss due to borrower misrepresentation, fraud or early default. Mortgage loans and their related servicing rights are sold under agreements that define certain eligibility criteria for the mortgage loans. Recourse periods for early payment default vary from 90 days up to one year. Recourse periods for borrower misrepresentation or fraud, or underwriting error do not have a stated time limit. C&F Mortgage maintains an indemnification reserve for potential claims made under these recourse provisions. During the second quarter of 2010, C&F Mortgage reached an agreement with its largest third-party investor that resolved all known and unknown indemnification obligations for loans sold to this investor prior to 2010. Risks also arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. C&F Mortgage has procedures in place to evaluate the credit risk of investors and does not expect any counterparty to fail to meet its obligations. The following table presents the changes in the allowance for indemnification losses for the periods presented:

 

(Dollars in thousands)		Three Months Ended March 31,
		2011				2010
Allowance, beginning of period		$	1,291			$	2,538
Provision for indemnification losses			231				458
Payments			—				296
Allowance, end of period		$	1,522			$	2,700

The Bank reached an agreement to settle a lawsuit seeking the return of tax credits transferred to the Bank by a customer for payment of principal, interest and operating reserves related to an existing loan and the extension of an additional loan in the period prior to the customer entering bankruptcy. The settlement agreement called for the Bank to return certain unused tax credits and make a one-time cash payment. As a result, during the first quarter of 2011, the Corporation increased the provision for loan losses by $300,000 resulting from the charge-off of previously recognized principal payments. This is in addition to an accrual of other expenses of $200,000 recorded during 2010. The settlement will have no ongoing effect subsequent to the first quarter of 2011.

NOTE 10: Derivatives

The Corporation uses derivatives to manage exposure to interest rate risk through the use of interest rate swaps. Interest rate swaps involve the exchange of fixed and variable rate interest payments between two parties, based on a common notional principal amount and maturity date with no exchange of underlying principal amounts. The Corporation’s interest rate swaps qualify as cash flow hedges. The Corporation’s cash flow hedges effectively modify a portion of the Corporation’s exposure to interest rate risk by converting variable rates of interest on $10.0 million of the Corporation’s trust preferred capital notes to fixed rates of interest until September 2015.

The cash flow hedges total notional amount is $10.0 million. At March 31, 2011, the cash flow hedges had a fair value of ($59,000), which is recorded in other liabilities. The cash flow hedges were fully effective at March 31, 2011 and therefore the loss on the cash flow hedges was recognized as a component of other comprehensive income (loss), net of deferred income taxes.

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.

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 level 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 and the value of collateral, overall portfolio quality and review of specific potential losses. This evaluation is inherently subjective because it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

Allowance for Indemnifications: The allowance for indemnifications is established through charges to earnings in the form of a provision for indemnifications, which is included in other noninterest expenses. A loss is charged against the allowance for indemnifications under certain conditions when a purchaser of a loan (investor) sold by C&F Mortgage incurs a loss due to borrower misrepresentation, fraud, or early default, or underwriting error. The allowance represents an amount that, in management’s judgment, will be adequate to absorb any losses arising from indemnification requests. Management’s judgment in determining the level of the allowance is based on the volume of loans sold, current economic conditions and information provided by investors. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

Impairment of Loans: 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 measure impairment on a loan by loan basis for commercial, construction and residential loans in excess of $500,000 by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. We maintain a valuation allowance to the extent that the measure of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment. Troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) are also considered impaired loans. A TDR occurs when we agree to significantly modify the original terms of a loan due to the deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower.

Impairment of Securities: Impairment of securities occurs when the fair value of a security is less than its amortized cost. For debt securities, impairment is considered other-than-temporary and recognized in its entirety in net income if either (i) we intend to sell the security or (ii) it is more-likely-than-not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If, however, we do not intend to sell the security and it is not more-likely-than-not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery, we must determine what portion of the impairment is attributable to a credit loss, which occurs when the amortized cost basis of the security exceeds the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected from the security. If there is no credit loss, there is no other-than-temporary impairment. If there is a credit loss, other-than-temporary impairment exists, and the credit loss must be recognized in net income and the remaining portion of impairment must be recognized in other comprehensive income. For equity securities, impairment is considered to be other-than-temporary based on our ability and intent to hold the investment until a recovery of fair value. Other-than-temporary impairment of an equity security results in a write-down that must be included in net income. We regularly review each investment security for other-than-temporary impairment based on criteria that includes the extent to which cost exceeds market price, the duration of that market decline, the financial health of and specific prospects for the issuer, our best estimate of the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from debt securities, our intention with regard to holding the security to maturity and the likelihood that we would be required to sell the security before recovery.

Other Real Estate Owned (OREO): Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are held for sale and are initially recorded at the lower of the loan balance or the fair value less costs to sell at the date of foreclosure. Subsequent to foreclosure, management periodically performs valuations of the foreclosed assets based on updated appraisals, general market conditions, recent sales of like properties, length of time the properties have been held, and our ability and intention with regard to continued ownership of the properties. The Corporation may incur additional write-downs of foreclosed assets to fair value less costs to sell if valuations indicate a further other-than-temporary deterioration in market conditions.

Goodwill: Goodwill is no longer subject to amortization over its estimated useful life, but is subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment by applying a fair value based test. In assessing the recoverability of the Corporation’s goodwill, all of which was recognized in connection with the Bank’s acquisition of C&F Finance in September 2002, we must make assumptions in order to determine the fair value of the respective assets. Major assumptions used in determining impairment were increases in future income, sales multiples in determining terminal value and the discount rate applied to future cash flows. As part of the impairment test, we perform a sensitivity analysis by increasing the discount rate, lowering sales multiples and reducing increases in future income. We completed the annual test for impairment during the fourth quarter of 2010 and determined there was no impairment to be recognized in 2010. If the underlying estimates and related assumptions change in the future, we may be required to record impairment charges.

Table of Contents

Retirement 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 mutual funds invested in marketable equity securities and corporate and government fixed income securities, are valued using market quotations. The Bank’s actuary determines plan obligations and annual pension expense using a number of key assumptions. Key assumptions may include the discount rate, the interest crediting 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, or in the method under which benefits are calculated may impact pension assets, liabilities or expense.

Derivative Financial Instruments: The Corporation recognizes derivative financial instruments at fair value as either an other asset or other liability in the consolidated balance sheet. The derivative financial instruments have been designated as and qualify as cash flow hedges. The effective portion of the gain or loss on the cash flow hedges is reported as a component of other comprehensive income, net of deferred taxes, and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.

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.

For further information concerning accounting policies, refer to Item 8 “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” under the heading “Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

OVERVIEW

Our primary financial goals are to maximize the Corporation’s earnings and to deploy capital in profitable growth initiatives that will enhance long-term shareholder value. We track three primary financial performance measures in order to assess the level of success in achieving these goals: (i) return on average assets (ROA), (ii) return on average common 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 and dividends, while considering the need to maintain a strong regulatory capital position.

Financial Performance Measures

Net income for the Corporation was $2.97 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared with $1.73 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Net income available to common shareholders was $2.68 million, or $0.85 per common share assuming dilution for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared with $1.44 million, or $0.47 per common share assuming dilution for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The difference between reported net income and net income available to common shareholders is a result of the Series A Preferred Stock dividends and amortization of the Warrant related to the Corporation’s participation in the Capital Purchase Program. The Corporation’s first quarter earnings were primarily a result of the strong earnings in the Consumer Finance segment, which continues to benefit from substantial loan growth, low net charge-offs and the current low interest rate environment. The Mortgage Banking segment benefited from higher gains on loans sold and lower provisions for indemnification losses. The Retail Banking segment continues to be burdened with costs associated with asset quality issues and costs associated with foreclosed properties as well as higher costs related to increasingly complex compliance and regulatory issues.

The Corporation’s ROE and ROA were 14.51 percent and 1.19 percent, respectively, on an annualized basis for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to 8.25 percent and 0.66 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase in these ratios during 2011 was primarily due to the performance of the Consumer Finance segment, while the Retail Banking and Mortgage Banking segments continue to be negatively affected by the challenging economic environment and issues facing the financial services industry in general.

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: C&F Bank reported a net loss of $124,000 for the first quarter of 2011, compared to a net loss of $361,000 for the first quarter of 2010. The Bank’s provision for loan losses decreased $100,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010. Write-downs and expenses associated with foreclosed properties decreased $654,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. In addition overdraft fee income and interchange income increased during the first quarter of 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010. These items were partially offset by higher personnel costs principally attributable to growth in the number of personnel to manage the complexity of routine compliance, regulatory and asset quality issues and a decrease in net interest margin resulting from a decrease in the yield on loans as a result of an increase in lower yielding intercompany loans to C&F Mortgage Corporation and C&F Finance Company.

Table of Contents

The Bank’s average loan portfolio, excluding intercompany loans, decreased to $408.7 million for the first quarter of 2011 from $442.4 million for the first quarter of 2010. The decrease in average loans was primarily due to current economic conditions which have reduced loan demand, coupled with higher loan charge-offs and foreclosures than the Bank has historically experienced.

The Bank’s nonperforming assets were $18.9 million at March 31, 2011, compared to $18.1 million at December 31, 2010. Nonperforming assets at March 31, 2011 included $9.3 million in nonaccrual loans and $9.7 million in foreclosed properties. Troubled debt restructurings were $9.1 million at March 31, 2011 compared to $9.8 million at December 31, 2010. Nonaccrual loans primarily consist of loans for residential real estate secured by residential properties and commercial loans secured by non-residential properties. Specific reserves of $1.9 million have been established for nonaccrual loans. Management believes it has provided adequate loan loss reserves for nonaccrual loans based on the current estimated fair values of the collateral. Foreclosed properties at March 31, 2011 consist of both residential and non-residential properties. These properties have been written down to their estimated fair values less selling costs.

Mortgage Banking: For the quarter ended March 31, 2011, C&F Mortgage Corporation reported net income of $337,000, compared to $158,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.

Loan origination volumes decreased in the first quarter of 2011, declining to $124.1 million compared to $134.5 million for the first quarter of 2010. The decline in origination volumes is a result of fluctuations in mortgage rates, a continued overall weakness in the housing market due to the continued challenging economic conditions and the expiration of the homebuyer tax credits that boosted loan demand during the first half of 2010. Loan originations result in gains on sales of loans typically 30 to 90 days after origination. Despite the previously-mentioned decline in loan originations, revenue from gains on sales of loans increased slightly to $3.8 million in the first quarter of 2011 from $3.7 million in the first quarter of 2010, primarily as a result of sales during the first quarter of 2011 of loans originated in the fourth quarter of 2010.

The provision for indemnification losses decreased in the first quarter of 2011 to $231,000 from $458,000 in the first quarter of 2010. The decline in the provision for indemnification losses for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was due to an agreement reached during the second quarter of 2010 with one of the largest purchasers of loans sold by the mortgage banking segment that resolves all known and unknown indemnification obligations for loans sold to the purchaser prior to 2010.

Other items affecting quarterly earnings include a $105,000 increase in the first quarter of 2011 in personnel costs compared to the same period in 2010 as a result of an increase in personnel to manage the increasingly complex regulatory environment, and a $141,000 increase in professional fees for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 due to increased legal and compliance costs.

Consumer Finance: First quarter net income for C&F Finance Company was $3.0 million in 2011, compared to $2.1 million in 2010. The increase was a result of a 17.0 percent increase in average loans for the three months ended March 31, 2011, an increase in net interest margin, and a $300,000 decrease in the provision for loan losses attributable to lower delinquencies and lower charge-offs. These items were partially offset by an increase in compensation costs of $174,000 resulting from an increase in personnel to manage loan growth. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans remained approximately the same, 7.88 percent at March 31, 2011 compared to 7.90 percent at December 31, 2010. Management believes that the current allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb probable losses in the loan portfolio.

Other and Eliminations: The net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2011 for this combined segment was $204,000, compared to a net loss of $127,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Revenue and expense of this combined segment include the results of operations of our investment, insurance and title subsidiaries, interest expense associated with the Corporation’s trust preferred capital notes, other general corporate expenses and the effects of intercompany eliminations.

Capital Management. Total shareholders’ equity was $95.4 million at March 31, 2011, compared to $92.8 million at December 31, 2010 for an increase of $2.7 million primarily attributable to first quarter earnings in 2011.

We have continued to manage our capital through asset growth and dividends on common shares outstanding. The capital and liquidity positions of the Corporation remain strong. The Corporation continues to participate in the Capital Purchase Program, which was seen as an opportunity to inexpensively increase capital and to insure against unforeseen events. Even though our capital has continued to increase and continues to exceed regulatory capital standards for being well-capitalized, the Corporation has not yet repurchased these securities. We are currently analyzing the possibility of full or partial repayment in light of the Corporation’s overall financial condition, capitalization and liquidity. Our considerations include whether repayment will require raising new capital and the cost of that capital, our future capital needs and the potential sources of capital.

Another means by which we manage our capital is through dividends. The Corporation’s board of directors continued its policy of paying dividends in 2011. The dividend payout ratio for the first three months of 2011 was 29.1 percent based on net income available to common shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The board of directors continues to evaluate our dividend payout in light of changes in economic conditions, our capital levels and our expected future levels of earnings. However, in connection with

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following table presents the average balance sheets, the amounts of interest earned on earning assets, with related yields, and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, with related rates, for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. Loans include loans held for sale. Loans placed on nonaccrual status are included in the balances and are included in the computation of yields, but had no material effect. Interest on tax-exempt loans and securities is presented on a taxable-equivalent basis (which converts the income on loans and investments for which no income taxes are paid to the equivalent yield as if income taxes were paid using the federal corporate income tax rate of 34 percent).

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 table presents the direct causes of the period-to-period changes in the components of net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis. We calculated the rate and volume variances using a formula prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Rate/volume variances, the third element in the calculation, are not shown separately in the table, but are allocated to the rate and volume variances in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of the change in each. Loans include both nonaccrual loans and loans held for sale.

Net interest income, on a taxable-equivalent basis, for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $15.2 million, compared to $13.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The higher net interest income resulted from a 43 basis point increase in net interest margin coupled with a 3.6 percent increase in average earning assets for the first quarter of 2011 compared to the first quarter of 2010. The increase in net interest margin was principally a result of an increase in the yield on loans and a decrease in the rates paid on time and savings deposits, partially offset by a lower yield on securities and an increase in the rates paid on borrowings. The increase in the yield on loans was primarily a result of a change in the mix of loans whereby lower yielding average loans at the Retail Banking and Mortgage Banking segments declined and higher yielding loans at the Consumer Finance segment increased. The decrease in rates paid on time and savings deposits was primarily a result of a reduction in interest paid on money market deposit accounts, resulting from the sustained low interest rate environment and the repricing of higher rate certificates of deposit as they matured to lower rates. The decline in the yield on securities resulted from purchases of securities in the current low interest rate environment. The increase in rates paid on borrowings was a result of the change in the mix of borrowings as average lower cost short-term borrowings decreased primarily as a result of deposit growth, as well as the effect of a 25 basis point increase in our variable rate revolving line of credit beginning in July 2010.

Average loans, which includes both loans held for investment and loans held for sale, increased $12.0 million to $669.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 from $657.1 million for the first quarter of 2010. Average loans held for investment decreased $880,000 during the first quarter of 2011 compared to the first quarter of 2010. The Retail Banking segment’s portfolio of average loans held for investment decreased $33.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010, primarily as current economic conditions reduced loan demand and caused an increase in loan charge-offs and foreclosures. The Consumer Finance segment’s portfolio of average loans held for investment increased $32.6 million during the first three months of 2011, compared to the first three months of 2010, as a result of robust demand in existing and new markets. The Consumer Finance segment’s loans are typically higher yielding than other loans in our portfolio due to higher risks inherent in the portfolio.

Average loans held for sale at the Mortgage Banking segment increased $12.9 million during the first quarter of 2011, compared to the first quarter of 2010, despite loan origination volumes declining during the first quarter of 2011 compared to the first quarter of 2010, as loan balances at the beginning of the quarter benefited from stronger origination volume at the end of 2010. The decline in origination volumes during the first quarter of 2011 are a result of fluctuations in mortgage rates, a continued overall weakness in the housing market due to the challenging economic conditions and the expiration of the home buyer tax credits during the first half of 2010. The yield on the Mortgage Banking segment’s loans has decreased during the first quarter of 2011, compared to 2010, as borrowers took advantage of the continued low interest rate environment.

The overall yield on average loans increased 43 basis points to 9.78 percent for the first three months of 2011, compared to the same period in 2010, principally as a result of the shift in the mix of the portfolio from lower yielding loans held in our Retail Banking and Mortgage Banking segments to higher yielding loans in our Consumer Finance segment.

Average securities available for sale increased $13.6 million during the first quarter of 2011 compared to the first quarter of 2010. The increase in securities available for sale occurred predominantly in the Retail Banking segment’s municipal bond portfolio in conjunction with the strategy to increase the investment portfolio as a percentage of total assets. This strategy is based on the investment portfolio’s role of managing interest rate sensitivity, providing liquidity and serving as an additional source of interest income. The funding of this strategy has come from the growth in deposits, coupled with reduced loan demand in the Retail Banking segment. The lower yields on securities available for sale in the first quarter of 2011, compared to the same period in 2010, resulted from purchases of securities in the current low interest rate environment as well as purchases of shorter-term securities.

Average interest-bearing deposits in other banks increased $3.0 million during the first quarter of 2011, compared to the first quarter of 2010. The increase resulted from excess liquidity provided by growth in the Corporation’s deposit portfolio.

Average interest-bearing time and savings deposits increased $23.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010, mainly due to higher deposit balances from municipal customers. In addition, the mix in interest-bearing time and savings deposits has shifted to shorter-term interest-bearing and money market deposit accounts from longer-term certificates of deposits which allow depositors greater flexibility for funds management and investing decisions. The average cost of deposits declined 31 basis points during the first quarter of 2011, compared to the same period in 2010 because time deposits that matured throughout 2010 and into 2011 repriced at lower interest rates, or were not renewed, and shorter-term interest-bearing deposits, which pay a lower interest rate, have increased.

Average borrowings decreased $7.5 million during the first quarter of 2011, compared to the first quarter of 2010. This decrease was attributable to reduced funding needs as the growth in average earning assets has primarily been met through the growth in average deposits. The average cost of borrowings increased 16 basis points during the first quarter of 2011, compared to the first quarter of 2010, as a result of a change in the composition of borrowings, due to repaying lower-cost short-term variable-rate borrowings with excess liquidity provided by lower loan demand and deposit growth. In addition, a 25 basis point increase, effective July 2010, in the Consumer Finance segment’s variable rate revolving line of credit also contributed to the increase in the average cost of borrowings.

Total noninterest income increased $575,000, or 9.8 percent, to $6.5 million during the first quarter of 2011, compared to the first quarter of 2010. The increase primarily resulted from (1) higher service charges on deposit accounts as higher overdraft protection and returned check charges were incurred by customers in the Retail Banking segment, (2) higher other service charges primarily due to higher bank card interchange fees in the Retail Banking segment and (3) increases in other income primarily due to changes in the fair market value of deferred compensation plan assets in the Retail Banking, Mortgage Banking and Consumer Finance segments.

Total noninterest expenses increased $357,000, or 2.6 percent, to $13.9 million during the first quarter of 2011, compared to the first quarter of 2010. The Retail Banking segment had (1) higher salaries and employee benefits expenses resulting from an increase in staffing levels to manage the complexity of routine compliance, regulatory and asset quality issues; (2) higher occupancy expense resulting from investments in information technology equipment; and (3) higher other expenses primarily associated with higher data processing costs, offset by lower costs associated with provisions and write-downs for foreclosed properties. The Mortgage Banking segment had slightly higher salaries and employee benefits expenses due to an increase in personnel to manage the increasingly complex regulatory environment and higher other expenses due to increases in professional fees associated with legal and compliance issues, partially offset by a reduction in the provision for indemnification losses due to an agreement reached in the second quarter of 2010 that resolved all known and unknown indemnification obligations for loans sold to the Mortgage Banking segments largest purchaser of loans prior to 2010. An increase in salaries and employee benefits expenses at the Consumer Finance segment during the first quarter of 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010 was a result of staff additions to support loan growth.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2011 totaled $1.29 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 30.2 percent, compared to $576,000, and 25.0 percent, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase in the effective tax rate during the first quarter of 2011 was a result of higher pre-tax earnings at the non-bank business segments, which are not exempt from state income taxes, partially offset by the increase in income from the Retail Banking segment’s tax-exempt municipal bond portfolio.

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, reduce the allowance. The following tables summarize the allowance activity for the periods indicated:

The combined Retail Banking and Mortgage Banking segments’ allowance for loan losses decreased $685,000 since December 31, 2010, and the provision for loan losses at these combined segments decreased $80,000 during the first quarter of 2011, compared to the first quarter of 2010. The allowance for loan losses to total loans decreased to 2.63 percent at March 31, 2011, compared to 2.75 percent at December 31, 2010. These declines were attributable to charge-offs in the first quarter of 2011 associated with write-downs at the Retail Banking segment of several collateral-dependent commercial relationships, transfers to foreclosed properties and the settlement of a lawsuit involving tax credits transferred to the Bank prior to a customer entering bankruptcy. We believe that the current level of the allowance for loan losses at the combined Retail Banking and Mortgage Banking segments is adequate to absorb any losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible. If current economic conditions continue or worsen, a higher level of nonperforming loans may be experienced in future periods, which may then require a higher provision for loan losses.

The Consumer Finance segment’s allowance for loan losses increased to $18.1 million at March 31, 2011 from $17.4 million at December 31, 2010, and its provision for loan losses decreased $300,000 during the first quarter of 2011, compared to the first quarter of 2010. The increase in the allowance for loan losses was primarily due to the growth in the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses to total loans was essentially flat at 7.88 percent at March 31, 2011 compared to 7.90 percent at December 31, 2010. The decrease in the provision for loan losses was primarily attributable to lower delinquencies and net charge-offs. The decreases in delinquencies and net charge-offs are a result of prudent underwriting practices, enhanced collection efforts and a stronger used vehicle market which results in higher resale values for repossessed vehicles. The Consumer Finance segment’s loan portfolio can be immediately adversely affected by the ongoing effects of the recent economic recession and less than robust recovery. 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. However, if unemployment levels remain elevated or increase in the future, or if consumer demand for automobiles falls and results in declining values of automobiles securing outstanding loans, a higher provision for loan losses may become necessary.

Nonperforming assets of the Retail Banking segment totaled $18.9 million at March 31, 2011 compared to $18.1 million at December 31, 2010. Nonperforming assets of the Retail Banking segment at March 31, 2011 included $9.3 million of nonaccrual loans and $9.7 million of foreclosed, or OREO, properties. Nonaccrual loans primarily consist of loans for residential real estate secured by residential properties and commercial loans secured by non-residential properties. Specific reserves of $1.9 million have been established for the Retail Banking segment’s nonaccrual loans. We believe we have provided adequate loan loss reserves based on current appraisals of the collateral. In some cases, appraisals have been adjusted to reflect current trends including sales prices, expenses, absorption periods and other current relevant factors. Foreclosed properties at March 31, 2011 primarily consisted of residential and non-residential properties associated with commercial relationships. These properties have been written down to their estimated fair values less cost to sell.

Foreclosed properties of the Mortgage Banking segment totaled $201,000 at March 31, 2011, compared to $379,000 at December 31, 2010 and resulted primarily from loans that were repurchased from investors because of documentation issues. The decrease resulted from sales of foreclosed properties during the first quarter of 2011.

Accruing loans past due for 90 days or more at the combined Retail Banking and Mortgage Banking segments decreased to $297,000 at March 31, 2011, compared to $1.0 million at December 31, 2010. The decrease was due to loans being moved to a nonaccrual status, being charged-off or transferred to OREO.

Nonaccrual loans at the Consumer Finance segment have increased to $311,000 at March 31, 2011from $151,000 at December 31, 2010. Nonaccrual consumer finance loans remain relatively low compared to the allowance for loan losses because the Consumer Finance segment frequently initiates repossession of loan collateral once a loan is 60 days or more past due but before the loan reaches 90 days or more past due and is evaluated for nonaccrual status.

The balance of impaired loans was $16.1 million, including $9.1 million of TDRs at March 31, 2011, for which there were specific valuation allowances of $2.1 million. At December 31, 2010, the balance of impaired loans was $16.4 million, including $9.8 million of TDRs, for which there were specific valuation allowances of $2.6 million. The Corporation has no obligation to fund additional advances on its impaired loans. The decrease in impaired loans was primarily due to charge-offs and transfers of loans to OREO during the first quarter of 2011.

TDRs at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were as follows:

FINANCIAL CONDITION

At March 31, 2011, the Corporation had total assets of $907.0 million compared to $904.1 million at December 31, 2010. The increase was principally a result of growth in the securities available for sale portfolio and an increase in cash and cash equivalents offset by a reduction of loans held for sale.

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.

1	Includes loans secured by real estate for builder lines, acquisition and development and commercial development, as well as commercial loans secured by personal property.

The increase in total loans held for investment occurred primarily in the consumer finance category as a result of increased demand for automobiles partially offset by decreases in commercial, financial and agricultural loans due to reduced demand and foreclosures as a result of the continuing challenging economic environment.

Investment Securities

The investment portfolio plays a primary role in the management of the Corporation’s interest rate sensitivity. In addition, the portfolio serves as a source of liquidity and is used as needed to meet collateral requirements. The investment portfolio consists of securities available for sale, which may be sold in response to changes in market interest rates, changes in prepayment risk, increases in loan demand, general liquidity needs and other similar factors. These securities are carried at estimated fair value. At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, all securities in the Corporation’s investment portfolio were classified as available for sale.

The following table sets forth the composition of the Corporation’s securities available for sale at fair value and as a percentage of the Corporation’s total securities available for sale at the dates indicated.

Deposits

The Corporation’s predominant source of funds is depository accounts, which consist of demand deposits, savings and money market accounts, and time deposits. The Corporation’s deposits are principally provided by individuals and businesses located within the communities served.

Deposits totaled $630.0 million at March 31, 2011, compared to $625.1 million at December 31, 2010. The increase from December 31, 2010 was primarily in noninterest-bearing demand deposits due to higher account balances of several large commercial customers. The Corporation had no brokered certificates of deposit outstanding at March 31, 2011 or December 31, 2010.

Borrowings

Borrowings totaled $158.8 million at March 31, 2011, compared to $164.1 million at December 31, 2010 as the Corporation used excess liquidity resulting from reduced loan demand and deposit growth at the Retail Banking segment to reduce borrowings.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2011, 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, 2010.

Contractual Obligations

As of March 31, 2011, 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, 2010.

Liquidity

The objective of the Corporation’s liquidity management is to ensure the continuous availability of funds to satisfy the credit needs of our customers and the demands of our depositors, creditors and investors. Stable core deposits and a strong capital position are the foundation for the Corporation’s liquidity position. Additional sources of liquidity available to the Corporation include cash flows from operations, loan payments and payoffs, deposit growth, sales of securities, the issuance of brokered certificates of deposit and the capacity to borrow additional funds.

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 March 31, 2011 totaled $86.0 million, compared to $45.7 million at December 31, 2010 as the Corporation had higher interest-bearing deposits at other banks and a higher amount of nonpledged securities available for sale at March 31, 2011 compared to December 31, 2010. The Corporation’s funding sources, including the capacity, amount outstanding and amount available at March 31, 2011 are presented in Table 13: Funding Sources.

TABLE 13: Funding Sources

 

		March 31, 2011
(Dollars in thousands)		Capacity				Outstanding				Available
Federal funds purchased		$	36,000			$	—			$	36,000
Repurchase agreements			5,000				5,000				—

Revolving line of credit			120,000				75,184				44,816
Total		$	333,963			$	132,684			$	201,279

We have no reason to believe these arrangements will not be renewed at maturity. Additional loans and securities are also available that can be pledged as collateral for future borrowings from the Federal Reserve Bank above the current lendable collateral value.

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 and Changing Prices

The Corporation’s financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP presently requires the Corporation to measure financial position and operating results primarily in terms of historic dollars. Changes in the relative value of money due to inflation or recession are generally not considered. The primary effect of inflation on the operations of the Corporation is reflected in increased operating costs. In management’s opinion, changes in interest rates affect the financial condition of a financial institution to a far greater degree than changes in the inflation rate. While interest rates are greatly influenced by changes in the inflation rate, they do not necessarily change at the same rate or in the same magnitude as the inflation rate. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors that are beyond the control of the Corporation, including changes in the expected rate of inflation, the influence of general and local economic conditions and the monetary and fiscal policies of the United States government, its agencies and various other governmental regulatory authorities.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no significant changes from the quantitative and qualitative disclosures made in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

 

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 defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) 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 March 31, 2011 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Corporation in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC 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 (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). There were no changes in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting during the Corporation’s first quarter ended March 31, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.
