Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 03-1“The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments”(“EITF 03-1”) was issued and is effective March 31, 2004. The EITF 03-1 provides guidance for determining the meaning of “other –than-temporarily impaired” and its application to certain debt and equity securities within the scope of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”(“SFAS No. 115”) and investments accounted for under the cost method. The guidance requires that investments which have declined in value due to credit concerns or solely due to changes in interest rates must be recorded as other-than-temporarily impaired unless the Company can assert and demonstrate its intention to hold the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for a recovery of fair value up to or beyond the cost of the investment which might mean maturity. This issue also requires disclosures assessing the ability and intent to hold investments in instances in which an investor determines that an investment with a fair value less than cost is not other-than-temporarily impaired.

On September 30, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board decided to delay the effective date for the measurement and recognition guidance contained in Issue 03-1. This delay does not suspend the requirement to recognize other-than-temporary impairments as required by existing authoritative literature. The disclosure guidance in Issue 03-1 was not delayed.

EITF No. 03-16, “Accounting for Investments in Limited Liability Companies was ratified by the Board and is effective for reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2004.” APB Opinion No. 18, “The Equity Method of Accounting Investments in Common Stock,” prescribes the accounting for investments in common stock of corporations that are not consolidated. AICPA Accounting Interpretation 2, “Investments in Partnerships Ventures,” of Opinion 18, indicates that “many of the provisions of the Opinion would be appropriate in accounting” for partnerships. In EITF Abstracts, Topic No. D-46, “Accounting for Limited Partnership Investments,” the SEC staff clarified its view that investments of more than 3 to 5 percent are considered to be more than minor and, therefore, should be accounted for using the equity method. Limited liability companies (LLCs) have characteristics of both characteristics of both corporations and partnerships, but are dissimilar from both in certain respects. Due to those similarities and differences, diversity in practice exists with respect to accounting for non-controlling investments in LLCs. The consensus reached was that an LLC should be viewed as similar to a corporation or similar to a partnership for purposes of determining whether a non-controlling investment should be accounted for using the cost method or the equity method of accounting.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion provides information about the major components of the results of operations and financial condition, liquidity, and capital resources of Citizens Bancorp of Virginia, Inc. (the Company). This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

General

The financial condition and results of operations presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements, accompanying Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and management's discussion and analysis are, to a large degree, dependent upon the accounting policies of the Company. The selection and application of these accounting policies involve judgments, estimates, and uncertainties that are susceptible to change.

Presented below is a discussion of those accounting policies (Critical Accounting Policies) that management believes are the most important to the portrayal and understanding of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. The Critical Accounting Policies require management's most difficult, subjective and complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain. In the event that different assumptions or conditions were to prevail, and depending upon the severity of such changes, materially different financial condition or results of operations is a reasonable likelihood.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The Company monitors and maintains an allowance for loan losses to absorb an estimate of probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The Company maintains policies and procedures that address the systems of controls over the following areas of maintenance of the allowance: the systematic methodology used to determine the appropriate level of the allowance to provide assurance that the systems are maintained in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; the accounting policies for loan charge-offs and recoveries; the assessment and measurement of impairment in the loan portfolio; and the loan grading system.

The Company evaluates various loans individually for impairment as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 114,Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, and SFAS No. 118,Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures. Loans evaluated individually for impairment include non-performing loans, such as loans on non-accrual, loans past due by 90 days or more, restructured loans and other loans selected by management. The evaluations are based upon discounted expected cash flows or collateral valuations. If the evaluation shows that a loan is individually impaired, then a specific reserve is established for the amount of impairment. If a loan evaluated individually is not impaired, then the loan is assessed for impairment under SFAS No. 5,Accounting for Contingencies, with a group of loans that have similar characteristics.

For loans without individual measures of impairment, the Company makes estimates of losses for groups of loans as required by SFAS No. 5. Loans are grouped by similar characteristics, including the type of loan, the assigned loan grade and the general collateral type. A loss rate reflecting the expected loss inherent in a group of loans is derived based upon estimates of default rates for a given loan grade, the predominant collateral type for the group and the terms of the loan. The resulting estimate of losses for groups of loans are adjusted for relevant environmental factors and other conditions of the portfolio of loans, including: borrower and industry concentrations; levels and trends in delinquencies, charge-offs and recoveries; changes in underwriting standards and risk selection; level of experience, ability and depth of lending management; and national and local economic conditions.

The amount of estimated impairment for individually evaluated loans and groups of loans is added together for a total estimate of loan losses. This estimate of losses is compared to the allowance for loan losses of the Company as of the evaluation date and, if the estimate of losses is greater than the allowance, an additional provision to the allowance would be made. If the estimate of losses is less than the allowance, the degree to which the allowance exceeds the estimate is evaluated to determine whether the allowance falls outside a range of estimates. If the estimate of losses is below the range of reasonable estimates, the allowance would be reduced by way of a credit to the provision for loan losses. The Company recognizes the inherent imprecision in estimates of losses due to various uncertainties and variability related to the factors used, and therefore a reasonable range around the estimate of losses is derived and used to ascertain whether the allowance is too high. If different assumptions or conditions were to prevail and it is determined that the allowance is not adequate to absorb the new estimate of probable losses, an additional provision for loan losses would be made, which amount may be material to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

OVERVIEW AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Company reported net income and earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 of $2.2 million and $.89 per share compared to $2.0 million or $.82 per share for the first nine months of 2003. Annualized returns on average assets and equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 were 1.07% and 8.99%, respectively, compared to 1.00% and 8.74% for the same period in 2003.

Total assets for the Company increased to $280.8 million at September 30, 2004 compared to $269.3 million at December 31, 2003, representing an increase of $11.5 million or 4.3%. Total loans at September 30, 2004 were $192.9 million, an increase of $17.5 million from the December 31, 2003 amount of $175.4 million. Net loans as a percent of total assets were 67.9% at September 30, 2004 as compared to 64.3% at December 31, 2003, while the securities portfolio decreased $11.9 million from $60.3 million at December 31, 2003 to $48.4 million at September 30, 2004, a decrease of 19.7%.

Total deposits of $245.8 million at September 30, 2004 represented an increase of $9.4 million or 4.0% from $236.4 million at December 31, 2003. Total Certificates of Deposits at September 30, 2004, exclusive of $7.9 million in new funds from Public Funds CDs, were $124.8 million, down $1.2 million, or 1.0%, from the amount at December 31, 2003. The deposit shift experienced during the nine months ended September 30, 2004 also reflects an increase in interest-bearing checking and savings accounts of $1.3 million combined with an increase in noninterest-bearing deposits of $3.9 million.

Stockholders’ equity was $32.8 million at September 30, 2004. This amount represents an increase of 2.2% from the December 31, 2003 amount of $32.1 million. The book value per common share was $13.42 at September 30, 2004 compared to $13.10 at December 31, 2003.

Financial Accounting Standards Board Pronouncement No. 115 requires the Company to show the effect of market changes in the value of securities available for sale. The effect of the change in market value of securities, net of income taxes, is reflected in a line titled “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)”, in the Stockholders’ Equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheet and was $31,000 at September 30, 2004, a decrease of $7,000 from December 31, 2003.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is the Company’s primary source of earnings and represents the difference between interest and fees earned on loans and other earning assets and the interest expense paid on deposits and other interest bearing liabilities. Net interest income totaled $7.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared to $7.3 million for the same period in 2003. In previous quarters, the Company reported a decrease in net interest income due to continued tightening in its net interest margin. More recent quarterly comparisons indicated that this trend had stopped as is now reflected in the nine months comparison. This shift is primarily attributed to interest income from loans which were funded with sales of lower yielding investments as well as funds from low cost deposits, increased non-interest bearing and low-cost transactional deposits.

Two major components of net interest income are interest income on loans and interest expense on deposits. Interest income on loans decreased $439,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared to the prior year, while interest expense on deposits decreased $805,000 over the same periods. The remaining impact comes from interest income on the investment portfolio and fed funds position which decreased $378,000 for the same periods.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income increased 33% to $1.4 million for the first nine months of 2004 compared to $1.0 million for the same period in 2003 as a result of changes in the following components:

Nine months ended

(In thousands)

Total noninterest income	$ 1,422	$ 1,073	32.5%

Service charges on deposit accounts income increased 54.2% or $289,000 primarily as the result of an automatic overdraft program implemented by the Company in mid-May, 2004.

Net gain on sale of other real estate owned decreased $137,000 or 100% due to a sale in 2003.

BOLI income increased $52,000 due to the fact that the plan was started in April, 2003.

Other operating income increased $143,000 primarily due to an increase in title company dividends of $59,000, an increase of $55,000 in ATM fees charges and an increase of $29,000 in other fees charged.

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expense includes employee-related costs, occupancy and equipment expense and other overhead. Total non-interest expense was $5.9 million for the first nine months of 2004 compared to $5.5 million for the same period in 2003, an increase of $380,000. The following table outlines the major changes:

Nine months ended

(In thousands)
Noninterest Expense	September 30, 2004	September 30, 2003	% Change
Compensation and benefits	$ 3,390	$ 3,152	7.6%
Net occupancy expense of premises	254	235	8.1%
Equipment expense	636	510	24.7%
Other operating expenses	1,625	1,628	-0.2%
Total noninterest expense	$ 5,905	$ 5,525	6.9%

Compensation and benefits increased $238,000 as a result of increased salary expense attributed to additional employees in the operating and lending functions, additional staffing for branch expansion, benefit expense increases from enhanced medical insurance benefits for the employees, an enhanced 401(k) plan and implementation of a deferred compensation executive benefit plan.

Equipment expense increased $126,000 for the first nine months of 2004 compared to the same period in 2003 as the Company updated its technology to improve services to its customers which included implementation of complete systems conversion, network and new phone system.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2004 was $2.1 million compared to $2.4 million at December 31, 2003. The allowance for loan losses was 1.07% of total loans outstanding at September 30, 2004 and 1.35% of total loans outstanding at December 31, 2003. Management believes that the level of allowance for loan losses is sufficient after taking into consideration portfolio and economic conditions, delinquency trends, past loan loss experience, the volume of loans and related factors. Management also believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio at September 30, 2004. Loans classified as loss, doubtful, substandard or special mention are adequately reserved for and are not expected to have a material impact beyond what has been reserved.

The Company has $2.0 million in non-performing loans at September 30, 2004 compared to $2.7 million at September 30, 2003, a decrease of $700,000 or 25.9%.

Liquidity

The Company maintains its liquidity position through cash on hand, correspondent bank balances and investment in Federal Funds sold, by maintaining its investment portfolio in Available for Sale status and through the availability of borrowing lines at the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta and at its correspondent banks. The Company monitors its liquidity position on a regular basis and continuously adjusts its assets to maintain adequate liquidity levels. The Company has established satisfactory liquidity targets, monitors its liquidity position daily, and reports its liquidity ratios to the Board of Directors on a monthly basis. We consider our sources of liquidity to be ample to meet our estimated needs.

Capital Resources

Stockholders’ equity at September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 was $32.8 million and $32.1 million, respectively. Total common shares outstanding at September 30, 2004 and September 30, 2003 were 2,444,450 and 2,448,000, respectively.

At September 30, 2004, the Company’s Tier 1 and total risk-based capital ratios were 18.9% and 20.1%, respectively, compared to 19.6% and 20.9% at December 31, 2003. The Company’s leverage ratio was 12.0% at September 30, 2004 compared to 11.8% at December 31, 2003. The Bank’s capital structure places it well above the regulatory guidelines, which affords the Company the opportunity to take advantage of business opportunities while ensuring that it has the resources to protect against risk inherent in its business.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain information contained in this discussion may include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These forward-looking statements are generally identified by phrases such as “the Company expects,” “the Company believes” or words of similar import.

Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks including, but not limited to, the following factors:

successfully manage the Company’s growth or implement its growth strategies if it is unable to identify attractive markets, locations or opportunities to expand in the future;

continue to attract low cost core deposits to fund asset growth;

maintain capital levels adequate to support the Company’s growth;

maintain cost controls and asset qualities as the Company opens or acquires new branches;

rely on the Company’s management team, including its ability to attract and retain key personnel;

successfully manage interest rate risk;

respond to or anticipate changes in general economic and business conditions in the Company’s market area;

manage changes in interest rates and interest rate policies;

manage and monitor risks inherent in making loans such as repayment risks and fluctuating collateral values;

compete with other banks and financial institutions and companies outside of the banking industry, including those companies that have substantially greater access to capital and other resources;

respond to demand, development and acceptance of new products and services;

handle problems with technology utilized by the Company;

plan for changing trends in customer profiles and behavior; and

monitor and manage changes in banking and other laws and regulations applicable to the Company.

Although the Company believes that its expectations with respect to the forward-looking statements are based upon reliable assumptions within the bounds of its knowledge of its business and operations, there can be no assurance that actual results, performance or achievements of the Company will not differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

In order to more closely measure interest sensitivity, the Company uses earnings simulation models on a quarterly basis. These models utilize the Company’s financial data and various management assumptions as to growth and earnings to forecast a base level of net interest income and earnings over a one-year period. This base level of earnings is then shocked assuming a sudden increase or decrease in interest rates.

There have been no changes that would significantly alter the disclosure previously reported as of December 31, 2003. For more information, see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2003.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the Company evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on that evaluation, management has concluded that these controls and procedures are effective. There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2004 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Disclosure controls and procedures are the controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
