Forward-looking statements are statements that include projections, predictions, expectations or beliefs about future events or results or otherwise are not statements of historical fact. Such statements are often characterized by the use of qualified words (and their derivatives) such as “expect,” “believe,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “anticipate” or other statements concerning opinions or judgment of the Company and its management about future events. Although the Company believes that its expectations with respect to forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions within the bounds of its existing 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. Actual future results and trends may differ materially from historical results or those anticipated depending on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the effects of and changes in: general economic conditions, the interest rate environment, legislative and regulatory requirements, competitive pressures, new products and delivery systems, inflation, changes in the stock and bond markets, technology, and consumer spending and savings habits. The Company does not update any forward-looking statements that may be made from time to time by or on behalf of the Company.

PART I

ITEM 1.—BUSINESS.

GENERAL

Union Bankshares Corporation (the “Company”) is a multi-bank holding company organized under Virginia law and registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956. The Company is headquartered in Bowling Green, Virginia. The Company is committed to the delivery of financial services through its five community bank subsidiaries (the “Community Banks”) and three non-bank financial services affiliates. The Company’s Community Banks and non-bank financial services affiliates are:

Community Banks
Union Bank & Trust Company	Bowling Green, Virginia
Northern Neck State Bank	Warsaw, Virginia
Rappahannock National Bank	Washington, Virginia
Bay Community Bank	Newport News, Virginia
Prosperity Bank & Trust Company	Fairfax County, Virginia
Financial Services Affiliates
Union Mortgage Group, Inc.	Annandale, Virginia
Union Investment Services, Inc.	Ashland, Virginia
Union Insurance Group, LLC	Bowling Green, Virginia

History

The Company was formed in connection with the July 1993 merger of Northern Neck Bankshares Corporation and Union Bancorp, Inc. In connection with the merger, Union Bank and Trust Company (“Union Bank”) and Northern Neck State Bank became wholly owned bank subsidiaries of the Company. Although the Company was formed in 1993, the Community Banks are among the oldest in Virginia. Union Bank and Rappahannock National Bank began business in 1902 and Northern Neck State Bank dates back to 1907. On September 1, 1996, King George State Bank and on July 1, 1998, Rappahannock National Bank became wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. On February 22, 1999, Bay Community Bank (formerly Bank of Williamsburg) began business as a newly organized bank. In June 1999, King George State Bank was merged into Union Bank and ceased to be a subsidiary bank. The

1

Company acquired Guaranty Financial Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, Guaranty Bank (“Guaranty”), on May 1, 2004, and operated Guaranty as a separate subsidiary until September 13, 2004, which is when the operations of Guaranty were merged with Union Bank, the Company’s largest subsidiary. The Company acquired Prosperity Bank & Trust Company (“Prosperity”) on April 1, 2006 and operates it as an independent bank subsidiary.

Product Offerings and Market Distribution

The Company is one of the largest community banking organizations based in Virginia, providing full service banking to the Northern, Central, Rappahannock, Tidewater and Northern Neck regions of Virginia through 51 locations of its bank subsidiaries. Union Bank currently has 33 locations in the counties of Albemarle, Caroline, Chesterfield, Fluvanna, Hanover, Henrico, King George, King William, Nelson, Spotsylvania, Stafford, Westmoreland and the Cities of Charlottesville and Fredericksburg; Northern Neck State Bank has nine locations in the counties of Essex, Lancaster, Northumberland, Richmond and Westmoreland; Rappahannock National Bank has two locations in Washington and Front Royal, Virginia; Bay Community Bank has four locations in Williamsburg, Newport News and Grafton, Virginia; and Prosperity has three locations in Springfield and Burke, Virginia. Additionally, Union Bank operates a loan production office in Manassas, Virginia.

Each of the Community Banks are full service retail commercial banks offering consumers and businesses a wide range of banking and related financial services, including checking, savings, certificates of deposit and other depository services, as well as loans for commercial, industrial, residential mortgage and consumer purposes. Also, the Community Banks issue credit cards and deliver automated teller machine services through the use of reciprocally shared ATMs in the major ATM networks as well as remote ATMs for the convenience of their customers and other consumers. Furthermore, each of the Community Banks offers internet banking services and online bill payment for all of its customers, whether consumer or commercial.

The Company provides other financial services through its non-bank affiliates, Union Investment Services, Inc., Union Mortgage Group, Inc. (“Union Mortgage”), and formerly Mortgage Capital Investors, Inc. and Union Insurance Group, LLC. Bay Community Bank owns a non-controlling interest in Johnson Mortgage Company, LLC.

Union Investment Services, Inc. has provided securities, brokerage and investment advisory services since its formation in February 1993. It has five offices within the Community Banks’ trade areas and is a full service investment company handling all aspects of wealth management including stocks, bonds, annuities, mutual funds and financial planning.

On February 11, 1999, the Company acquired CMK Corporation t/a Union Mortgage, a mortgage loan brokerage company headquartered in Springfield, Virginia, by merger of CMK Corporation into Union Mortgage, later to become a wholly owned subsidiary of Union Bank. Union Mortgage has eleven offices in the following locations: Virginia (seven), Maryland (three) and South Carolina (one). Union Mortgage is also licensed to do business in selected states throughout the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast, as well as Washington, D.C. It provides a variety of mortgage products to customers in those areas. The mortgage loans originated by Union Mortgage are generally sold in the secondary market through purchase agreements with institutional investors.

On August 31, 2003, the Company formed Union Insurance Group, LLC (“UIG”), an insurance agency, in which each of the subsidiary banks owns a proportionate stake based on asset size. This agency operates in a joint venture with Bankers Insurance, LLC, a large insurance agency owned by community banks across Virginia and managed by the Virginia Bankers Association. UIG generates revenue through sales of various insurance products, including long term care insurance and business owner policies.

SEGMENTS

The Company has two reportable segments: its traditional full service community banking business and its mortgage loan origination business, each as described above. For more financial data and other information about each of the Company’s operating segments, refer to the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Result of Operations” section, “Community Bank Segment” and to Note 18 “Segment Reporting” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements”.

EXPANSION AND STRATEGIC ACQUISITIONS

The Company expands its market area and increases its market share through internal growth, de novo expansion and strategic acquisitions. Strategic acquisitions by the Company to date have included whole bank acquisitions and financial affiliations, as well as branch and deposit acquisitions and purchases of former bank branch facilities. The Company generally considers acquisitions of companies in strong growth markets or with unique products or services that will benefit the entire organization. Targeted acquisitions are priced to be economically feasible with minimal short-term drag to achieve positive long-term benefits. These acquisitions may be paid for in the form of cash, stock, debt or a combination thereof. The amount and type of consideration and deal charges paid could have a dilutive short-term effect on the Company’s earnings per share or book value. However, cost savings and revenue enhancements in such transactions are anticipated to provide long-term economic benefit to the Company.

On April 3, 2006, the Company announced it had completed the acquisition of Prosperity, effective April 1, 2006, in a transaction valued at approximately $36 million. Prosperity, with nearly $130 million in assets, operates three branches in Springfield and Burke, Virginia, located in Fairfax County, a suburb in the Washington, D.C area.

In addition to the Prosperity acquisition, the Company grew through de novo expansion, opening five new branches throughout Virginia in the last two years:

• Twin Hickory, Union Bank branch, located in Richmond (December 2006)

• Front Royal, Rappahannock National Bank branch located in Front Royal (December 2006)

• Grafton, Bay Community Bank branch located in Grafton (March 2006)

• Sycamore Square, Union Bank branch located in Midlothian (May 2005)

• Monticello, Bay Community Bank branch, located in Williamsburg (January 2005)

During 2006, the Company completed the relocation of Union Bank’s Ladysmith branch in Caroline County to a new facility directly behind the former location. Additionally, Union Bank’s Arlington Boulevard leased branch in the City of Charlottesville completed its relocation to an owned branch space on Barracks Road.

The Company is also in the process of constructing a new 70,000 square foot operations center in Caroline County, Virginia at a cost of approximately $13 million. The facility is located near the intersection of Interstate 95 and Route 1 approximately twelve miles west of the current facility in Bowling Green, Virginia. The new facility will accommodate the Company’s anticipated growth and provide improved access to the Greater Richmond and Fredericksburg workforce. Management anticipates that the existing operations center in Bowling Green will be either sold or leased.

EMPLOYEES

As of December 31, 2006, the Company had approximately 646 full-time equivalent employees, including executive officers, loan and other banking officers, branch personnel, operations personnel and other support personnel. None of the Company’s employees is represented by a union or covered under a collective bargaining agreement. Management of the Company considers its employee relations to be excellent.

3

COMPETITION

The financial services industry remains highly competitive and is constantly evolving. The Company experiences strong competition in all aspects of its business. In its market areas, the Company competes with large national and regional financial institutions, credit unions and other independent community banks, as well as credit unions, consumer finance companies, mortgage companies, loan production offices, mutual funds and life insurance companies. Competition has increasingly come from out-of-state banks through their acquisitions of Virginia-based banks. Competition for deposits and loans is affected by various factors including interest rates offered, the number and location of branches and types of products offered, as well as the reputation of the institution. In addition, credit unions have been allowed to increasingly expand their membership definitions and to offer more attractive loan and deposit pricing due to their favorable tax status. The Company’s non-bank financial services affiliates also operate in highly competitive environments.

The Company is headquartered in Bowling Green, Virginia and is one of the largest independent bank holding companies in Virginia. The Company believes its community bank framework and philosophy provide a competitive advantage, particularly with regard to larger national and regional institutions, allowing the Company to compete effectively in the markets it serves. The Company’s Community Banks generally have strong and growing market shares within the markets they serve. The Company’s deposit market share in Virginia was 1.27% and 1.28% as of June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

SUPERVISION AND REGULATION

Bank holding companies and banks are extensively and increasingly regulated under both federal and state law. The following description briefly addresses certain provisions of federal and state laws as well as certain regulations and proposed regulations, and the potential impact of such provisions on the Company and the Community Banks. To the extent statutory or regulatory provisions or proposals are described herein, the description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the particular statutory or regulatory provisions or proposals.

Bank Holding Companies

As a bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (the “BHCA”), the Company is subject to regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”). The Federal Reserve has jurisdiction under the BHCA to approve any bank or non-bank acquisition, merger or consolidation proposed by a bank holding company. The BHCA generally limits the activities of a bank holding company and its subsidiaries to that of banking, managing or controlling banks, or any other activity that is so closely related to banking or to managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto.

Since September 1995, the BHCA has permitted bank holding companies from any state to acquire banks and bank holding companies located in any other state, subject to certain conditions, including nationwide and state imposed concentration limits. Banks are also able to branch across state lines, provided certain conditions are met, including that applicable state law must expressly permit such interstate branching. Virginia has adopted legislation that permits branching across state lines, provided there is reciprocity with the state in which the out-of-state bank is based. The Company has no plans to branch outside of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

There are a number of obligations and restrictions imposed on bank holding companies and their depository institution subsidiaries by federal law and regulatory policy. Collectively, these are designed to reduce potential loss exposure to the depositors of such depository institutions and to the Federal Deposit

4

Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) insurance funds in the event the depository institution becomes in danger of default or is in default. For example, under a policy of the Federal Reserve with respect to bank holding company operations, a bank holding company is required to serve as a source of financial strength to its subsidiary depository institutions and to commit resources to support such institutions in circumstances where it might not do so absent such policy. In addition, the “cross-guarantee” provisions of federal law require insured depository institutions under common control to reimburse the FDIC for any loss suffered or reasonably anticipated by the Deposit Insurance Fund (“DIF”) as a result of the default of a commonly controlled insured depository institution in danger of default. The FDIC may decline to enforce the cross-guarantee provisions if it determines that a waiver is in the best interest of the BIF. The FDIC’s claim for damages is superior to claims of stockholders of the insured depository institution or its holding company but is subordinate to claims of depositors, secured creditors and holders of subordinated debt (other than affiliates) of the commonly controlled insured depository institutions.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Act (the “FDIA”) also provides that amounts received from the liquidation or other resolution of any insured depository institution by any receiver must be distributed (after payment of secured claims) to pay the deposit liabilities of the institution prior to payment of any other general creditor or stockholder. This provision would give depositors a preference over general and subordinated creditors and stockholders in the event a receiver is appointed to distribute the assets of such depository institutions.

The Company is registered under the bank holding company laws of Virginia. Accordingly, the Company and the Community Banks (other than Rappahannock National Bank, which is regulated and supervised by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”)) are subject to regulation and supervision by the State Corporation Commission of Virginia (the “SCC”) and the Federal Reserve.

Capital Requirements

The Federal Reserve, the OCC and the FDIC have issued substantially similar risk-based and leverage capital guidelines applicable to United States banking organizations. In addition, those regulatory agencies may from time to time require that a banking organization maintain capital above the minimum levels because of its financial condition or actual or anticipated growth. Under the risk-based capital requirements of these federal bank regulatory agencies, the Company and each of the Community Banks are required to maintain a minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 8.0%. At least half of the total capital is required to be “Tier 1 capital”, which consists principally of common and certain qualifying preferred shareholders’ equity (including Trust Preferred Securities), less certain intangibles and other adjustments. The remainder (“Tier 2 capital”) consists of a limited amount of subordinated and other qualifying debt (including certain hybrid capital instruments) and a limited amount of the general loan loss allowance. The Tier 1 and total capital to risk-weighted asset ratios of the Company as of December 31, 2006 were 11.63% and 12.78%, respectively, exceeding the minimum requirements.

In addition, each of the federal regulatory agencies has established a minimum leverage capital ratio (Tier 1 capital to average adjusted assets) (“Tier 1 leverage ratio”). These guidelines provide for a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4% for banks and bank holding companies that meet certain specified criteria, including that they have the highest regulatory examination rating and are not contemplating significant growth or expansion. The Tier 1 leverage ratio of the Company as of December 31, 2006, was 9.57%, which is above the minimum requirements. The guidelines also provide that banking organizations experiencing internal growth or making acquisitions will be expected to maintain strong capital positions substantially above the minimum supervisory levels, without significant reliance on intangible assets.

Limits on Dividends and Other Payments

The Company is a legal entity, separate and distinct from its subsidiary institutions. A significant portion of the revenues of the Company result from dividends paid to it by the Community Banks. There are various legal limitations applicable to the payment of dividends by the Community Banks to the Company, as well as the payment of dividends by the Company to its respective shareholders.

5

The Community Banks are subject to various statutory restrictions on their ability to pay dividends to the Company. Under the current supervisory practices of the Community Banks’ regulatory agencies, prior approval from those agencies is required if cash dividends declared in any given year exceed net income for that year, plus retained net profits of the two preceding years. The payment of dividends by the Community Banks or the Company may also be limited by other factors, such as requirements to maintain capital above regulatory guidelines. Bank regulatory agencies have the authority to prohibit the Community Banks or the Company from engaging in an unsafe or unsound practice in conducting their business. The payment of dividends, depending on the financial condition of the Community Banks, or the Company, could be deemed to constitute such an unsafe or unsound practice.

Under the FDIA, insured depository institutions such as the Community Banks are prohibited from making capital distributions, including the payment of dividends, if, after making such distribution, the institution would become “undercapitalized” (as such term is used in the statute). Based on the Community Banks’ current financial condition, the Company does not expect that this provision will have any impact on its ability to obtain dividends from the Community Banks. Non-bank subsidiaries pay the parent company dividends periodically on a non-regulated basis.

In addition to dividends it receives from the Community Banks, the Company receives management fees from its affiliated companies for various services provided to them including: data processing, item processing, loan operations, deposit operations, financial accounting, human resources, funds management, credit administration, credit support, sales and marketing, collections, facilities management, call center, legal, compliance and internal audit. These fees are charged to each subsidiary based upon various specific allocation methods measuring the estimated usage of such services by that subsidiary. The fees are eliminated from the financial statements in the consolidation process.

Under federal law, the Community Banks may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, make loans or extensions of credit to, or investments in the securities of, the Company or take securities of the Company as collateral for loans to any borrower. The Community Banks are also subject to collateral security requirements for any loans or extensions of credit permitted by such exceptions.

The Community Banks

The Community Banks are supervised and regularly examined by the Federal Reserve and the SCC, except for Rappahannock National Bank, which is examined by the OCC. The various laws and regulations administered by the regulatory agencies affect corporate practices, such as the payment of dividends, incurrence of debt and acquisition of financial institutions and other companies, and affect business practices, such as the payment of interest on deposits, the charging of interest on loans, types of business conducted and location of offices.

The Community Banks are also subject to the requirements of the Community Reinvestment Act (the “CRA”). The CRA imposes on financial institutions an affirmative and ongoing obligation to meet the credit needs of the local communities, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods, consistent with the safe and sound operation of those institutions. Each financial institution’s efforts in meeting community credit needs currently are evaluated as part of the examination process pursuant to up to ten assessment factors. These factors also are considered in evaluating mergers, acquisitions and applications to open a branch or facility. Many of the banks’ competitors, such as credit unions, are not subject to the requirements of CRA.

Deposit accounts with the Community Banks are insured by the FDIC, and therefore the banks are subject to insurance assessments imposed by the FDIC. On February 15, 2006, federal legislation to reform federal deposit insurance was enacted. This new legislation required, among other things, that the FDIC adopt regulations increasing the maximum amount of federal deposit insurance coverage per separately insured depositor to $130 thousand (with a cost of living adjustment to become effective in five years). The legislation also gave the FDIC greater discretion to identify the relative risks all institutions present to the deposit insurance fund and set risk-based premiums.

6

On November 2, 2006, the FDIC adopted final regulations establishing a risk-based assessment system that is intended to more closely tie each bank’s deposit insurance assessments to the risk it poses to the deposit insurance fund. Under the new risk-based assessment system, which became effective in the beginning of 2007, the FDIC will evaluate each bank’s risk based on three primary factors: (1) its supervisory rating, (2) its financial ratios, and (3) its long-term debt issuer rating, if the bank has one. The new rates for most banks will vary between five and seven cents for every $100 of domestic deposits. In 2006, under prior regulations, the Company paid only the base assessment rate for “well capitalized” institutions which amounted to $195 thousand in deposit insurance premiums.

Other Safety and Soundness Regulations

The federal banking agencies have broad powers under current federal law to make prompt corrective action to resolve problems of insured depository institutions. The extent of these powers depends upon whether the institutions in question are “well capitalized,” “adequately capitalized,” “undercapitalized,” “significantly undercapitalized” or “critically undercapitalized.” All such terms are defined under uniform regulations defining such capital levels issued by each of the federal banking agencies. The Community Banks each meet the definition of being “well capitalized” as of December 31, 2006.

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act

Effective on March 11, 2001, the Gramm-Leach Bliley Act (the “GLB Act”) allows a bank holding company or other company to certify its status as a financial holding company, thereby allowing such company to engage in activities that are financial in nature, that are incidental to such activities, or are complementary to such activities. The GLB Act enumerates certain activities that are deemed financial in nature, such as underwriting insurance or acting as an insurance principal, agent or broker; underwriting; dealing in or making markets in securities; and engaging in merchant banking under certain restrictions. It also authorizes the Federal Reserve to determine by regulation what other activities are financial in nature, or incidental or complementary thereto.

USA Patriot Act of 2001

In October 2001, the USA Patriot Act of 2001 was enacted in response to the terrorist attacks in New York, Pennsylvania and Northern Virginia which occurred on September 11, 2001. The Patriot Act intended to strengthen U.S. law enforcement and the intelligence communities’ abilities to work cohesively to combat terrorism on a variety of fronts. The continuing and potential impact of the Patriot Act and related regulations and policies on financial institutions of all kinds is significant and wide ranging. The Patriot Act contains sweeping anti-money laundering and financial transparency laws, and imposes various regulations, including standards for verifying client identification at account opening, and rules to promote cooperation among financial institutions, regulators and law enforcement entities in identifying parties that may be involved in terrorism or money laundering.

Check 21

On October 28, 2003, President Bush signed into law the Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act, also known as Check 21. Check 21 gives “substitute checks,” such as a digital image of a check and copies made from that image, the same legal standing as the original paper check. Some of the major provisions of Check 21 include:

• allowing check truncation without making it mandatory;

• demanding that every financial institution communicate to accountholders in writing a description of its substitute check processing program and their rights under the law;

• legalizing substitutions for and replacements of paper checks without agreement from consumers;

• retaining in place the previously mandated electronic collection and return of checks between financial institutions only when individual agreements are in place;

7

• requiring that when accountholders request verification, financial institutions produce the original check (or a copy that accurately represents the original) and demonstrate that the account debit was accurate and valid; and

• requiring recrediting of funds to an individual’s account on the next business day after a consumer proves that the financial institution has erred.

Effect of Governmental Monetary Policies

The Company’s operations are affected not only by general economic conditions, but also by the policies of various regulatory authorities. In particular, the Federal Reserve regulates money and credit conditions and interest rates in order to influence general economic conditions. These policies have a significant influence on overall growth and distribution of loans, investments and deposits, and affect interest rates charged on loans or paid for time and savings deposits. Federal Reserve monetary policies have had a significant effect on the operating results of commercial banks in the past and are expected to do so in the future. We are unable to predict the effect of possible changes in monetary policies upon the future operating results of the Company.

Proposed Legislation and Regulatory Action

New regulations and statutes are regularly proposed that contain wide-ranging proposals for altering the structures, regulations, and competitive relationships of the nation’s financial institutions. The Company cannot predict whether or in what form any proposed regulation or statute will be adopted or the extent to which the Company’s business may be affected by any new regulation or statute.

Filings with the SEC

The Company files annual, quarterly and other reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These reports are posted and are available at no cost on the Company’s website, www.ubsh.com, through the Investor Relations link, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Company files such documents with the SEC. The Company’s filings are also available through the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

ITEM 1A.—RISK FACTORS.

General economic conditions, either national or within the Company’s local markets could materially impact the Company’s financial condition and performance.

The Company is affected by general economic conditions in the United States and the local markets within which it operates. Significant decline in general economic conditions caused by inflation, recession, unemployment or other factors beyond the Company’s control could negatively impact the growth rate of loans (including mortgage originations) and deposits, the quality of the loan portfolio, loan and deposit pricing and other key drivers of the Company’s business. Such negative developments could adversely impact the Company’s financial condition and performance.

Changes in interest rates could adversely affect the Company’s income and cash flows.

The Company’s income and cash flows depend to a great extent on the difference between the interest rates earned on interest-earning assets such as loans and investment securities, and the interest rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities such as deposits and borrowings. These rates are highly sensitive to many factors that are beyond the Company’s control, including general economic conditions and the policies of various governmental and regulatory agencies (in particular, the Federal Reserve). Changes in monetary policy, including changes in interest rates, will influence the origination of loans, the prepayment speed of loans, the purchase of investments, the generation of deposits and the rates received on loans and investment securities and paid on deposits or other sources of funding. The impact of these changes may be magnified if the Company does not effectively manage the relative sensitivity of its assets and liabilities to changes in market interest rates. Fluctuations in these areas may adversely affect the Company and its shareholders. Community banks are often at a competitive disadvantage in managing their costs of funds compared to the large regional, super-regional or national banks that have access to the national and international capital markets.

8

The Company generally seeks to maintain a neutral position in terms of the volume of assets and liabilities that mature or re-price during any period so that it may reasonably maintain its net interest margin; however, interest rate fluctuations, loan prepayments, loan production and deposit flows are constantly changing and influence the ability to maintain a neutral position. Generally, the Company’s earnings will be more sensitive to fluctuations in interest rates the greater the variance in volume of assets and liabilities that mature and re-price in any period. The extent and duration of the sensitivity will depend on the cumulative variance over time, the velocity and direction of interest rates, shape of the yield curve, and whether the Company is more asset sensitive or liability sensitive. Accordingly, the Company may not be successful in maintaining a neutral position and, as a result, the Company’s net interest margin may be impacted.

The Company faces substantial competition that could adversely affect the Company’s growth and/or operating results.

The Company operates in a competitive market for financial services and faces intense competition from other financial institutions both in making loans and in attracting deposits. Many of these financial institutions have been in business for many years, are significantly larger, have established customer bases, and have greater financial resources and lending limits.

The inability of the Company to successfully manage its growth or implement its growth strategy may adversely affect the results of operations and financial conditions.

The Company may not be able to successfully implement its growth strategy if unable to identify attractive markets, locations or opportunities to expand in the future. The ability to manage growth successfully also depends on whether the Company can maintain capital levels adequate to support its growth, maintain cost controls, asset quality and successfully integrate any businesses acquired into the organization.

As the Company continues to implement its growth strategy by opening new branches or acquiring branches or banks, it expects to incur increased personnel, occupancy and other operating expenses. In the case of new branches, the Company must absorb those higher expenses while it begins to generate new deposits, and there is a further time lag involved in redeploying new deposits into attractively priced loans and other higher yielding earning assets. Thus, the Company’s plans to branch could depress earnings in the short run, even if it efficiently executes a branching strategy leading to long-term financial benefits.

Difficulties in combining the operations of acquired entities with the Company’s own operations may prevent the Company from achieving the expected benefits from acquisitions.

The Company may not be able to achieve fully the strategic objectives and operating efficiencies in an acquisition. Inherent uncertainties exist in integrating the operations of an acquired entity. In addition, the markets and industries in which the Company and its potential acquisition targets operate are highly competitive. The Company may lose customers or the customers of acquired entities as a result of an acquisition. The Company also may lose key personnel, either from the acquired entity or from itself, as a result of an acquisition. These factors could contribute to the Company not achieving the expected benefits from its acquisitions within desired time frames, if at all. Future business acquisitions could be material to the Company and it may issue additional shares of common stock to pay for those acquisitions, which would dilute current shareholders’ ownership interests. Acquisitions also could require the Company to use substantial cash or other liquid assets or to incur debt. In those events, it could become more susceptible to economic downturns and competitive pressures.

The Company’s exposure to operational risk may adversely affect the Company.

Similar to other financial institutions, the Company is exposed to many types of operational risk, including reputational risk, legal and compliance risk, the risk of fraud or theft by employees or outsiders, unauthorized transactions by employees or operational errors, including clerical or record-keeping errors or those resulting from faulty or disabled computer or telecommunications systems.

The Company’s dependency on its management team and the unexpected loss of any of those personnel could adversely affect operations.

The Company is a customer-focused and relationship-driven organization. Future growth is expected to be driven by a large part in the relationships maintained with customers. While the Company has assembled an experienced management team, is building the depth of that team and has management development plans in place, the unexpected loss of key employees could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and may result in lower revenues.

The Company’s concentration in loans secured by real estate may adversely impact earnings due to changes in the real estate markets.

The Company offers a variety of secured loans, including commercial lines of credit, commercial term loans, real estate, construction, home equity, consumer and other loans. Many of the Company’s loans are secured by real estate (both residential and commercial) in the Company’s market area. A major change in the real estate market, resulting in deterioration in the value of this collateral, or in the local or national economy, could adversely affect the customer’s ability to pay these loans, which in turn could impact the Company. Risk of loan defaults and foreclosures are unavoidable in the banking industry, and the Company tries to limit its exposure to this risk by monitoring extensions of credit carefully. The Company cannot fully eliminate credit risk, and as a result credit losses may occur in the future.

If the Company’s allowance for loan losses becomes inadequate, the results of operations may be adversely affected.

The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses that it believes is a reasonable estimate of potential losses within the loan portfolio. Through a periodic review and consideration of the loan portfolio, management determines the amount of the allowance for loan losses by considering general market conditions, credit quality of the loan portfolio, the collateral supporting the loans and performance of customers relative to their financial obligations with the Company. The amount of future losses is susceptible to changes in economic, operating and other conditions, including changes in interest rates, which may be beyond the Company’s control, and these losses may exceed current estimates. Rapidly growing loan portfolios are, by their nature, unseasoned. As a result, estimating loan loss allowances is more difficult, and may be more susceptible to changes in estimates, and to losses exceeding estimates, than more seasoned portfolios. Although the Company believes the allowance for loan losses is a reasonable estimate of known and inherent losses in the loan portfolio, it cannot fully predict such losses or that the loss allowance will be adequate in the future. Excessive loan losses could have a material impact on financial performance. Consistent with the loan loss reserve methodology, the Company expects to make additions to the allowance for loan loss as a result of its growth strategy, which may affect the Company’s short-term earnings.

Federal and state regulators periodically review the allowance for loan losses and may require the Company to increase its provision for loan losses or recognize further loan charge-offs, based on judgments different than those of management. Any increase in the amount of the provision or loans charged-off as required by these regulatory agencies could have a negative effect on the Company’s operating results.

Legislative or regulatory changes or actions, or significant litigation, could adversely impact the Company or the businesses in which the Company is engaged.

The Company is subject to extensive state and federal regulation, supervision and legislation that govern almost all aspects of its operations. Laws and regulations may change from time to time and are primarily intended for the protection of consumers, depositors and the deposit insurance funds. The impact of any changes to laws and regulations or other actions by regulatory agencies may negatively impact the Company or its ability to increase the value of its business. Additionally, actions by regulatory agencies or

10

significant litigation against the Company could cause it to devote significant time and resources to defending itself and may lead to penalties that materially affect the Company and its shareholders. Future changes in the laws or regulations or their interpretations or enforcement could be materially adverse to the Company and its shareholders.

Changes in accounting standards could impact reported earnings.

The accounting standard setters, including the Financial Accounting Standards Board, SEC and other regulatory bodies, periodically change the financial accounting and reporting standards that govern the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. These changes can be hard to predict and can materially impact how it records and reports its financial condition and results of operations. In some cases, the Company could be required to apply a new or revised standard retroactively, resulting in the restatement of prior period financial statements.

ITEM 7.—MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION.

The following discussion and analysis provides information about the major components of the results of operations and financial condition, liquidity and capital resources of the Company and its subsidiaries. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the “Consolidated Financial Statements” and the “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” presented in Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”, of this Form 10-K. In addition, share and per share amounts for all periods presented have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effect of the three-for-two stock split in October 2006.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company and its subsidiaries are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and conform to general practices within the banking industry. The Company’s financial position and results of operations are affected by management’s application of accounting policies, including estimates, assumptions and judgments made to arrive at the carrying value of assets and liabilities and amounts reported for revenues, expenses and related disclosures. Different assumptions in the application of these policies could result in material changes in the Company’s consolidated financial position and/or results of operations.

The more critical accounting and reporting policies include the Company’s accounting for the allowance for loan losses, and merger and acquisitions, and goodwill and intangibles. The Company’s accounting policies are fundamental to understanding the Company’s consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations. Accordingly, the Company’s significant accounting policies are discussed in detail in Note 1 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements”.

The following is a summary of the Company’s critical accounting policies that are highly dependent on estimates, assumptions and judgments.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is an estimate of the losses that may be sustained in the loan portfolio. The allowance is based on two basic principles of accounting: (i) Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 5,Accounting for Contingencies (“SFAS No. 5”), which requires that losses be accrued when occurrence is probable and can be reasonably estimated and (ii) SFAS No. 114,Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan (“SFAS No. 114”), as amended, which requires that losses be accrued based on the differences between the value of collateral, present value of future cash flows or values that are observable in the secondary market and the loan balance.

The Company’s allowance for loan losses is the accumulation of various components that are calculated based on independent methodologies. All components of the allowance represent an estimation performed pursuant to either SFAS No. 5 or SFAS No. 114. Management’s estimate of each SFAS No. 5 component is based on certain observable data that management believes are most reflective of the underlying credit losses being estimated. This evaluation includes credit quality trends; collateral values; loan volumes; geographic, borrower and industry concentrations; seasoning of the loan portfolio; the findings of internal credit quality assessments and results from external bank regulatory examinations. These factors, as well as historical losses and current economic and business conditions, are used in developing estimated loss factors used in the calculations.

The Company adopted SFAS No. 114, which has been amended by SFAS No. 118,Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan – Income Recognition and Disclosures (“SFAS No. 118”). SFAS No.

17

114, as amended, requires that the impairment of loans that have been separately identified for evaluation is to be measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows or, alternatively, the observable market price of the loans or the fair value of the collateral. However, for those loans that are collateral dependent (that is, if repayment of those loans is expected to be provided solely by the underlying collateral) and for which management has determined foreclosure is probable, the measure of impairment is to be based on the net realizable value of the collateral. SFAS No. 114, as amended, also requires certain disclosures about investments in impaired loans and the allowance for loan losses and interest income recognized on loans.

Reserves for commercial loans are determined by applying estimated loss factors to the portfolio based on management’s evaluation and “risk grading” of the commercial loan portfolio. Reserves are provided for noncommercial loan categories using historical loss factors applied to the total outstanding loan balance of each loan category. Additionally, environmental factors based on national and local economic activity, as well as portfolio specific attributes are considered in the allowance for loan losses. Specific reserves are determined on a loan-by-loan basis based on management’s evaluation of the Company’s exposure for each credit, given the current payment status of the loan and the net realizable value of any underlying collateral.

While management uses the best information available to establish the allowance for loan and lease losses, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the valuations or, if required by regulators, based upon information available to them at the time of their examinations. Such adjustments to original estimates, as necessary, are made in the period in which these factors and other relevant considerations indicate that loss levels may vary from previous estimates.

Mergers and Acquisitions

The Company’s strategy focuses on high growth areas with strong market demographics and targets organizations that have a comparable corporate culture, strong performance and good asset quality, among other factors.

The Company accounts for acquisitions under the purchase method of accounting and accordingly is required to record the assets acquired, including identified intangible assets and liabilities assumed at their fair value, which often involves estimates based on third party valuations, such as appraisals, or internal valuations based on discounted cash flow analyses or other valuation techniques, which are inherently subjective. The amortization of identified intangible assets is based upon the estimated economic benefits to be received, which is also subjective. These estimates also include the establishment of various accruals and allowances based on planned facility dispositions and employee severance considerations, among other acquisition-related items. In addition, purchase acquisitions typically result in goodwill, which is subject to at least annual impairment testing, or more frequently if certain indicators are in evidence, based on the fair value of net assets acquired compared to the carrying value of goodwill.

The Company and the acquired entity also incur merger-related costs during an acquisition. The Company capitalizes direct costs of the acquisition, such as investment banker and attorneys’ fees and includes them as part of the purchase price. Other merger-related internal costs associated with acquisitions are expensed as incurred. Some examples of these merger-related costs include, but are not limited to, systems conversions, integration planning consultants and advertising fees. These merger-related costs are included within the Consolidated Statement of Income classified within the noninterest expense line. The acquired entity records merger-related costs which result from a plan to exit an activity, involuntarily terminate or relocate employees and are recognized as liabilities assumed as of the consummation date of the acquisition.

The Company’s merger-related costs for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 were $263 thousand, $17 thousand, and $343 thousand, respectively. Prior to the mergers, the acquired entities, Prosperity and Guaranty, recorded merger-related costs of approximately $807 thousand and $1.3 million and principally related to employee severance and investment banker fees.

18

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

SFAS No. 141,Business Combinations, requires the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. For purchase acquisitions, the Company is required to record assets acquired, including identifiable intangible assets, and liabilities assumed at their fair value, which in many instances involves estimates based on third party valuations, such as appraisals, or internal valuations based on discounted cash flow analysis or other valuation techniques. Effective January 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Asset(“SFAS 142”), which prescribes the accounting for goodwill and intangible assets subsequent to initial recognition. The provisions of SFAS No. 142 discontinue the amortization of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives but require at least an annual impairment review and more frequently if certain impairment indicators are in evidence. Additionally, the Company adopted SFAS No. 147,Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions, on January 1, 2002 and determined that core deposit intangibles will continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives.

Goodwill totaled $50.0 million and $31.3 million at the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Based on the testing of goodwill for impairment, there were no impairment charges for 2006, 2005 or 2004. Core deposit intangible assets are being amortized over the period of expected benefit, which ranges from 5 to 15 years. Core deposit intangibles, net of amortization, amounted to $12.3 million and $8.5 million at the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Amortization expense of core deposit intangibles for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 totaled $1.7 million, $1.2 million and $1.0 thousand, respectively.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Income

For the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to the year ended December 31, 2005, net income increased $1.2 million, or 4.7%, from $24.8 million to $26.0 million, which represented an increase in earnings per share, on a diluted basis, of $.07, or 3.7%, from $1.87 to $1.94. Return on average equity for the year ended December 31, 2006 was 13.64% and return on average assets was 1.30%, compared to 14.49% and 1.43%, respectively, for the same period in 2005.

The acquisition of Prosperity and its related operating results have been reflected in the financial statements since April 1, 2006. Prosperity’s net income included in the Company’s financial statements amounted to $1.1 million since acquisition. In addition, the Company incurred other expenses relating to the acquisition of Prosperity, including interest expense in connection with the issuance of a Trust Preferred Capital Note and merger-related costs. Since acquisition, the interest expense and merger related costs were $1.8 million and $263 thousand before taxes, respectively.

The Company’s continued expansion in both new and existing markets also impacted results for the year. Three new bank branches were opened in 2006, following the opening of two branches in 2005. The costs associated with these branches include personnel, occupancy, marketing and other related expenses and are typically greater than the revenue generated for the first 18-24 months as the branch expands the customer base in those markets. Additionally, during 2006 the Company completed the relocation of its Ladysmith branch in Caroline County to a new facility adjacent to the former location and relocated its Arlington Boulevard branch in the City of Charlottesville to a new building on Barracks Road.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income, which represents the principal source of earnings for the Company, is the amount by which interest income exceeds interest expense. The net interest margin is net interest income expressed as a percentage of average earning assets. Changes in the volume and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as their respective yields and rates, have a significant impact on the level of net interest income, the net interest margin and net income.

For the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005, the net interest margin, on a tax equivalent basis (TEQ), declined 9 basis points from 4.46% to 4.37%. Net interest income (TEQ) increased $7.5 million, or 10.5%, from $71.4 million to $79.0 million. Average interest-earning assets grew $205.4 million, or 12.8%, ($110.1 million from the Prosperity acquisition), while average interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing liabilities grew $203.1 million, or 15.6%, ($63.7 million from the Prosperity acquisition) and $38.5 million, or 15.7%, respectively. Furthermore, the yields on average interest-earning assets and the costs on average interest-bearing liabilities increased 75 and 95 basis points, to 7.28% and 3.47%, respectively. The interest rate spread compression together with average interest-bearing liabilities growing at a faster pace than average interest-earning assets are contributing factors associated with the decline in the net interest margin. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company collected $464 thousand and $311 thousand of foregone interest, respectively, which has been excluded from the net interest margin calculation.

Management carefully analyzes its local markets and the potential impact economic indicators (i.e. interest rates, housing sales, etc.) present. The Federal funds tightening cycle increased rates a quarter percentage point seventeen consecutive times beginning in June 2004. Economic indicators show signs of a slowing economy, particularly in the residential housing market where inventory levels remain high and demand has waned. During much of this period of rising interest rates, the Company’s net interest margin benefited from the delay between increases in asset yields and the lagging increases in funding costs on its deposit products. As customers have shifted out of lower cost deposit transaction accounts to higher rate CD products, the Company’s funding costs have risen, negatively impacting the margin. With long-term rates virtually the same (or lower) than short-term rates, the current interest rate environment will continue to put pressure on the interest margin throughout the industry. Management anticipates continued declines in the Company’s net interest margin (albeit at a slower pace than recent declines) until the yield curve assumes its more normal shape with short-term rates lower than long-term rates.

The Volume Rate Analysis table presents changes in interest income and interest expense, and distinguishes between the changes related to increases or decreases in average outstanding balances of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities (volume), and the changes related to increases or decreases in average interest rates on such assets and liabilities (rate). Changes attributable to both volume and rate have been allocated proportionately. Results, on a taxable equivalent basis, are as follows in this Volume Rate Analysis table for the years ended December 31, (dollars in thousands):

Interest Sensitivity

An important element of earnings performance and the maintenance of sufficient liquidity is proper management of the interest sensitivity gap and liquidity gap. The interest sensitivity gap is the difference between interest-sensitive assets and interest-sensitive liabilities in a specific time interval. This gap can be managed by re-pricing assets or liabilities, which are variable rate instruments, by replacing an asset or liability at maturity or by adjusting the interest rate during the life of the asset or liability. Matching the amounts of assets and liabilities maturing in the same time interval helps to hedge interest rate risk and to minimize the impact of rising or falling interest rates on net interest income.

The Company determines the overall magnitude of interest sensitivity risk and then formulates policies and practices governing asset generation and pricing, funding sources and pricing, and off-balance sheet commitments. These decisions are based on management’s expectations regarding future interest rate movements, the state of the national, regional and local economy, and other financial and business risk factors. The Company uses computer simulation modeling to measure and monitor the effect of various interest rate scenarios and business strategies on net interest income. This modeling reflects interest rate changes and the related impact on net interest income and net income over specified time horizons.

At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company was in an asset sensitive position. As described in the table below, management’s simulation model indicates net interest income will increase as rates increase. An asset sensitive company generally will be impacted favorably by increasing interest rates while a

22

liability-sensitive company’s net interest margin and net interest income generally will be impacted favorably by declining interest rates. Although the static gap report indicates $193.1 million and $56.5 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, more liabilities than assets re-pricing within one year, computer simulation modeling shows the Company’s net interest income tends to increase when interest rates rise and fall when interest rates decline. The explanation for this is that interest rate changes affect bank products differently. For example, if the prime rate changes by 1.00% (100 basis points or bps), the change on certificates of deposit may only be 0.75% (75 bps), while other interest bearing deposit accounts may only change 0.10% (10 bps). Also, despite their fixed terms, loan products are often refinanced as rates decline, but rarely refinanced as rates rise. Assets and liabilities re-price throughout the year resulting in changes in the earning asset rate, the cost of funds rate, and the net interest margin.

Earnings Simulation Analysis

Management uses simulation analysis to measure the sensitivity of net interest income to changes in interest rates. The model calculates an earnings estimate based on current and projected balances and rates. This method is subject to the accuracy of the assumptions that underlie the process, but it provides a better analysis of the sensitivity of earnings to changes in interest rates than other analysis, such as the static gap analysis discussed above.

Assumptions used in the model are derived from historical trends and management’s outlook and include loan and deposit growth rates and projected yields and rates. Such assumptions are monitored and periodically adjusted as appropriate. All maturities, calls and prepayments in the securities portfolio are assumed to be reinvested in like instruments. Mortgage loans and mortgage backed securities prepayment assumptions are based on industry estimates of prepayment speeds for portfolios with similar coupon ranges and seasoning. Different interest rate scenarios and yield curves are used to measure the sensitivity of earnings to changing interest rates. Interest rates on different asset and liability accounts move differently when the prime rate changes and are reflected in the different rate scenarios.

The Company uses its simulation model to estimate earnings in rate environments where rates ramp up or down around a “most likely” rate scenario, based on implied forward rates. The analysis assesses the impact on net interest income over a 12 month time horizon by applying 12 month rate ramps (with interest rates rising gradually versus an immediate increase or “shock” in rates) of 50 basis points up to 200 basis points. The following table represents the interest rate sensitivity on net interest income for the Company across the rate paths modeled for the year ended December 31, 2006 (dollars in thousands):

	Change In Net Interest Income
	%		$
Change in Yield Curve:
+200 basis points	4.32	%	$	3,481
+50 basis points	0.71	%		569
Most likely rate scenario	0.00	%		—
-50 basis points	-0.74	%		(598	)
-200 basis points	-3.08	%		(2,478	)

Economic Value Simulation

Economic value simulation is used to calculate the estimated fair value of assets and liabilities over different interest rate environments. Economic values are calculated based on discounted cash flow analysis. The net economic value of equity is the economic value of all assets minus the economic value of all liabilities. The change in net economic value over different rate environments is an indication of the longer term earnings capability of the balance sheet. The same assumptions are used in the economic value simulation as in the earnings simulation. The economic value simulation uses instantaneous rate shocks to the balance sheet where the earnings simulation uses rate ramps over 12 months. The following chart reflects the estimated change in net economic value over different rate environments using economic value simulation (dollars in thousands):

Noninterest Income

For the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005, noninterest income increased $2.7 million, or 10.7%, from $25.5 million to $28.2 million. This increase was driven by increases in other service charges and commissions and fees (brokerage commissions, ATM charges, and debit card income) of $2.0 million, bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”) income of $507 thousand, insurance proceeds of $328 thousand and Small Business Investment Company (“SBIC”) income of $150 thousand, coupled with increased gains on sales of real estate and securities of $837 thousand and $662 thousand, respectively. These increases were partially offset by reduced gains on loan sales within the mortgage segment of $1.7 million. Prosperity noninterest income was $396 thousand since acquisition.

For the year ended December 31, 2005 noninterest income increased by $2.2 million, or 9.5%, from $23.3 in 2004 to $25.5 million. This increase was largely due to a $1.1 million, or 9.6% increase in gains on the sale of loans which grew to $13 million for the year. Mortgage loan originations increased 12.2%, or $60.6 million driving the increased gains on loan sales. Additionally, other service charges and fees increased $929 thousand, or 27% from $3.4 million to $4.4 million. This increase is principally due to income received from debit cards (due to increased acceptance), letters of credit, exchange fees and brokerage commissions from Union Investment Services, Inc. Service charges on deposit accounts decreased $36 thousand, but contributed $6.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. Other operating income increased $197 thousand or 17.4%, including income from Bay Community Bank’s investment in Johnson Mortgage Company, LLC, of $92 thousand and an increase in cash surrender value of BOLI of $71 thousand.

Noninterest Expense

For the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005, noninterest expenses increased $9.3 million, or 15.9%, from $58.3 million to $67.6 million. Salaries and benefits increased $4.1 million, or 12.2%, principally driven by additional employees, both new and acquired, normal compensation adjustments, profit sharing, and equity compensation expenses, offset to a lesser extent by lower mortgage commissions paid and reduced incentive compensation expenses. Prosperity’s noninterest expenses were $3.2 million since acquisition. Other operating expense was $20.4 million, up $3.8 million from $16.6 million in 2005.

Of the $3.8 million increase in operating expenses, $1.5 million relates to Prosperity since acquisition and includes conversion costs of approximately $263 thousand. The remaining $2.3 million resulted from communication costs, data processing fees, professional fees, marketing expenses, ATM processing fees, amortization of core deposit premiums and merger-related costs. These increases were partially offset by lower incurred losses relating to fraud compared to the fourth quarter of 2005. Additionally, occupancy expenses increased $858 thousand, while furniture and equipment expenses increased $576 thousand, mainly due to the expansion of the Company’s footprint.

24

Noninterest expenses were up $7.1 million or 13.8% to $58.3 million in 2005, compared to $51.2 million in 2004. Salaries and benefits were $33.6 million in 2005, up $4.4 million or 15.2% compared to $29.1 million in 2004. The increase in salary and benefits is due to the opening of additional branches, hiring support staff, increased commissions in the mortgage segment related to increased loan production, as well as compensation adjustments. Other contributing factors include increased health insurance expense and increases in profit sharing expenses correlating to the improvements in net income. Occupancy expenses were at $4.1 million, up $721 thousand from 2004. The opening of two additional branches in the current year and a full year’s expense for the Guaranty branches, accounted for approximately $535 thousand of the increase in occupancy expense. Furniture and equipment expense was $3.9 million compared to $3.4 million in 2004. This increase of $483 thousand is due to the branch expansion efforts previously mentioned, software purchases and enhancements and additional equipment maintenance. Other operating expense was $16.6 million, up $1.4 million from $15.2 million in 2004.

Of the $1.4 million increase in operating expenses, approximately $527 thousand resulted from increased courier services, internet activity and communication activity with customers, $465 thousand in other bank losses related primarily to customer fraud activity, $304 thousand from media and advertising campaigns, $213 thousand related to amortizing additional core deposit intangibles related to the Guaranty acquisition, $196 thousand from increased directors’ fees as the compensation structure was modified in May 2005, and $181 thousand was from increased ATM processing and placement of additional ATM machines within the Company’s existing footprint. An additional $112 thousand was due to data processing costs related to increased activity in the bankcard department. Other expense increases relate to training and seminars of $100 thousand, as well as mileage reimbursement of $75 thousand. These expenses were offset by lower data processing costs of $445 thousand and conversion charges of $326 thousand both relating to the Guaranty acquisition in 2004.

SEGMENT INFORMATION

Community Bank Segment

For the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005, net income for the community banking segment increased $2.2 million, or 9.1%, from $23.7 million to $25.9 million. Net interest income increased an additional $8.0 million, or 11.7%, mainly driven by increases in asset yields resulting from rising interest rates and loan growth. The interest rate spread compressed 20 basis points due to increases in high interest-bearing liability products and borrowings (e.g. certificates of deposit greater than $100 thousand and Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”) advances), partially offsetting the increase in interest income. The provision for loan losses increased $278 thousand over the same period, principally driven by loan growth. Noninterest income increased $4.5 million, or 35.4%, principally due to increases in commissions and fees, more gains on the sale of real estate and securities, and income from both SBIC and BOLI. Noninterest expense increased $10.1 million, or 21.8%, mainly driven by increases in salaries and benefits, the Company’s continued execution of its growth strategy, all of which required increases in costs such as communication, amortization of core deposit premiums, data processing, professional fees, and marketing and merger-related expenses. These increases were partially offset by lower fraud losses and reduced marketing expenses from those recorded during the fourth quarter of 2005.

Mortgage Segment

For the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005, net income for the mortgage segment decreased $992 thousand, or 87.8%, from $1.1 million to $138 thousand. Net interest income decreased $672 thousand, or 74.9%, from $897 thousand to $225 thousand as interest margins tightened. Loan originations decreased $72.1 million, or 12.9%, from $556.8 million to $484.7 million, which in turn decreased revenue for the sale of loans by $1.7 million, or 13.1%, and was partially offset by lower commissions paid of $1.1 million. During 2006, interest rates were markedly higher than in the prior year, thereby delaying buyers from entering the housing market. Though interest rates returned to previously low levels by the end of the fourth quarter, any resulting

25

gains in originations are expected to be realized in the coming year. In addition, housing inventory in the Company’s primary markets increased significantly from the prior period as property appreciation decelerated, leading to increased consumer uncertainty and fewer origination opportunities.

BALANCE SHEET

As of December 31, 2006 compared to December 31, 2005, loans, net of unearned income increased $187.2 million, or 13.7%, to $1.5 billion from $1.4 billion. Excluding the acquired portfolio of Prosperity, the increase in loans, net of unearned income, increased $111.5 million or 8.2%. Of the acquired portfolio of approximately $76 million, 64% or $49 million consisted of mortgage loans secured by real estate. At December 31, 2006, loans secured by real estate continue to represent the Company’s largest category, comprising 79.2% of the total loan portfolio. At December 31, 2006, residential 1-4 family loans, not including home equity lines, comprised 17.0% of total loans and decreased $8.0 million, or 2.9% compared to the prior year. At December 31, 2006, mortgage loans secured by commercial real estate comprised 29.0% of the total loans, and increased $54.6 million, or 13.9% compared to the prior year. Excluding the Prosperity acquisition, the total increase in mortgages secured by commercial real estate would have been $5.6 million or 1.4%. These consist of income producing properties, as well as commercial and industrial loans where real estate constitutes a secondary source of collateral. At December 31, 2006, real estate construction loans accounted for 20.9% of total loans.

Commercial business loans increased $9.5 million in 2006, due largely to the acquired portfolio from Prosperity. Excluding the acquired portfolio, this category declined approximately 5.1%. Commercial business loans comprised 8.8% of total loans at the end of 2006, down from 9.3% at the end of 2005. The Company’s consumer loan portfolio consists principally of installment loans. Such loans to individuals for household, family and other personal expenditures totaled 10.6% of total loans at December 31, 2006, up from 10.0% in 2005. Loans to the agricultural industry totaled less than 1.0% of the loan portfolio in each of the last five years.

The Company is focused on providing community-based financial services and discourages the origination of portfolio loans outside of its principal trade area. The Company maintains a policy not to originate or purchase loans to foreign entities or loans classified by regulators as highly leveraged transactions. To manage the growth of the real estate loans in the loan portfolio, facilitate asset/liability management and generate additional fee income, the Company sells a portion of conforming first mortgage residential real estate loans to the secondary market as they are originated. Union Mortgage serves as a mortgage brokerage operation, selling the majority of its loan production in the secondary market or selling loans to the Community Banks that meet the banks’ current asset/liability management needs. This venture has provided the Community Banks’ customers with enhanced mortgage products and the Company with improved efficiencies through the consolidation of this function.

Asset Quality (Allowance of Loan Losses and Nonperforming Assets)

The allowance for loan losses represents management’s estimate of the amount adequate to provide for potential losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The Company’s management has established an allowance for loan losses which it believes is adequate for the risk of loss inherent in the loan portfolio. Among other factors, management considers the Company’s historical loss experience, the size and composition of the loan portfolio, the value and adequacy of collateral and guarantors, non-performing credits and current and anticipated economic conditions. There are additional risks of future loan losses, which cannot be precisely quantified or attributed to particular loans or classes of loans. Because those risks include general economic trends, as well as conditions affecting individual borrowers, the allowance for loan losses is an estimate. The allowance is also subject to regulatory examinations and determination as to adequacy, which may take into account such factors as the methodology used to calculate the allowance and size of the allowance in comparison to peer companies identified by regulatory agencies.

For the year ended December 31, 2006, the allowance for loan losses was $19.1 million or 1.24% of total loans as compared to $17.1 million, or 1.26% in 2005. For the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005, provision for loan losses increased $278 thousand from $1.2 million to $1.5

27

million ($20 thousand resulted from the Prosperity acquisition). Gross loans grew $187.2 million, or 13.7% and compares to the allowance for loan loss growth rate of 11.9% when compared to the December 31, 2005. Net charge-offs were $203 thousand for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 compared to net charge-offs of $440 thousand in the same periods for 2005. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company collected $464 thousand and $311 thousand of foregone interest, respectively, which was excluded from the net interest margin calculation.

The following table rolls forward the allowance for loan losses over the past five years ended December 31, (dollars in thousands):

The Company’s asset quality remains good. Management maintains a list of loans that have potential weaknesses that may need special attention. This list is used to monitor such loans and is used in the determination of the adequacy of the Company’s allowance for loan losses. At December 31, 2006, nonperforming assets totaled $10.9 million, including a single credit relationship totaling $10.6 million in loans. The loans to this relationship are secured by real estate (two assisted living facilities and other real estate). Based on the information currently available, management has allocated $1.3 million in specific reserves to this relationship. The Company entered into a workout agreement with the borrower in March 2004. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company extended further credit secured by additional property with significant equity. The Company continues to have constructive dialogue with the borrower towards resolution of the affiliated loans; however, bankruptcy filings in 2005 by some affiliates of the borrower delayed the accomplishment

28

of targeted actions. The Company continues to anticipate that this workout will ultimately result in a reduction of the Company’s overall exposure to the borrower. During the first quarter of 2006, a comprehensive Loan Modification Agreement was signed and the Company believes it has improved its overall collateral position. The Company remains cautious, however, and has not yet reduced allocated reserves due to uncertainties about the borrower’s ability to meet agreed upon progress targets.

The following table presents a five-year comparison of nonperforming assets as of December 31, (dollars in thousands):

Securities Available for Sale

At December 31, 2006, the Company had securities available for sale, at fair value in the amount of $282.8 million, or 13.5% of total assets, as compared to $246.0 million, or 13.0% of total assets as of December 31, 2005. The Company seeks to diversify its portfolio to minimize risk and to maintain a large amount of securities issued by states and political subdivisions due to the tax benefits. It also focuses on purchasing mortgage-backed securities because of the reinvestment opportunities from the cash flows and the higher yield offered from these securities. The investment portfolio has a high percentage of municipals and mortgage-backed securities; therefore a higher taxable equivalent yield exists on the portfolio compared to its peers. The Company does not engage in structured derivative or hedging activities. The following table sets forth a summary of the securities available for sale, at fair value as of December 31, (dollar in thousands):

	2006		2005		2004

Deposits

As of December 31, 2006, total deposits were $1.7 billion compared to $1.5 billion as of December 31, 2005. This growth was principally attributed to the acquisition of Prosperity, competitive pricing and increased interest rates, which resulted in both increases and composition swings from money markets and savings accounts to certificates of deposit greater than $100 thousand. Total deposits consist of noninterest-bearing demand deposits of $292.3 million or 17.5% and interest-bearing deposits of $1.4 billion or 82.5%.

As of December 31, 2006 compared to December 31, 2005, average interest-bearing deposits increased $157.8 million, or 14.0%, to $1.3 billion from $1.1 billion. Average money market and savings accounts decreased $12.5 million and $2.7 million, respectively, while time deposits of $100,000 and over and other time deposit accounts increased $127.8 million and $4.6 million, respectively. This composition swing was principally driven by rising interest rates, which in turn increased consumer demand on higher yielding products (i.e. time deposits of $100,000 and over). The average noninterest-bearing demand deposits increased by $38.5 million, or 15.7%, to $284.1 million year over year, primarily driven by the Prosperity acquisition. The Company has no brokered deposits.

The average deposits and rates paid for the past three years and maturities of certificates of deposit of $100,000 and over as of December 31, 2006 are as follows (dollars in thousands):

Capital Resources

Capital resources represent funds, earned or obtained, over which financial institutions can exercise greater or longer control in comparison with deposits and borrowed funds. The adequacy of the Company’s capital is reviewed by management on an ongoing basis with reference to size, composition, and quality of the Company’s resources and consistency with regulatory requirements and industry standards. Management seeks to maintain a capital structure that will assure an adequate level of capital to support anticipated asset growth and to absorb potential losses, yet allow management to effectively leverage its capital to maximize return to shareholders.

The Federal Reserve, along with the OCC and the FDIC, have adopted capital guidelines to supplement the existing definitions of capital for regulatory purposes and to establish minimum capital standards. Specifically, the guidelines categorize assets and off-balance sheet items into four risk-weighted categories. The minimum ratio of qualifying total assets is 8.0%, of which 4.0% must be Tier 1 capital, consisting of common equity, retained earnings and a limited amount of perpetual preferred stock, less certain intangible items. The Company had a ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of 12.78% and 12.14% on December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The Company’s ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets was 11.63% and 10.97% at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, allowing the Company to meet the definition of “well-capitalized” for regulatory purposes. Both of these ratios exceeded the fully phased-in capital requirements in 2006 and 2005. The Company’s current strategic plan includes a targeted equity to asset ratio between 8% and 9%. As of December 31, 2006, that ratio was 9.53%.

In connection with the two most recent acquisitions, Prosperity and Guaranty, the Company has issued trust preferred capital notes to fund the cash portion of those acquisitions, collectively totaling $58.5 million. The total of the trust preferred capital notes currently qualify for Tier 1 capital of the Company for regulatory purposes.

The following summarizes the Company’s regulatory capital and related ratios over the past three years ended December 31, (dollars in thousands):

Commitments and off-balance sheet obligations

In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk to meet the financing needs of its customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The contractual amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of the Company’s involvement in particular classes of financial instruments. For more information pertaining to these commitments, reference Note 11 “Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk” in the “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements”.

The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and letters of credit written is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. Unless noted otherwise, the Company does not require collateral or other security to support off-balance sheet financial instruments with credit risk.

At December 31, 2006, Union Mortgage had rate lock commitments to originate mortgage loans amounting to $22.8 million and loans held for sale of $20.1 million. Union Mortgage has entered into corresponding mandatory commitments on a best-efforts basis to sell loans on a servicing released basis totaling approximately $42.9 million. These commitments to sell loans are designed to eliminate the mortgage company’s exposure to fluctuations in interest rates in connection with rate lock commitments and loans held for sale.

The following table represents the Company’s other commitments with balance sheet or off-balance sheet risk as of December 31, 2006 (dollars in thousands):

Liquidity

Liquidity represents an institution’s ability to meet present and future financial obligations through either the sale or maturity of existing assets or the acquisition of additional funds through liability management. Liquid assets include cash, interest-bearing deposits with banks, money market investments, Federal funds sold, securities available for sale, loans held for sale and loans maturing or re-pricing within one year. Additional sources of liquidity available to the Company include its capacity to borrow additional funds when necessary through Federal funds lines with several correspondent banks and a line of credit with the FHLB. Management considers the Company’s overall liquidity to be sufficient to satisfy its depositors’ requirements and to meet its customers’ credit needs.

At December 31, 2006, cash and cash equivalents and securities classified as available for sale comprised 17.1% of total assets, compared to 17.3% at December 31, 2005. Asset liquidity is also provided by managing loan and securities maturities and cash flows.

Additional sources of liquidity available to the Company include its capacity to borrow additional funds when necessary. The Community Banks maintain Federal funds lines with several regional banks totaling approximately $56.7 million as of December 31, 2006. There was no outstanding balance under these lines as of December 31, 2006. The Company had outstanding borrowings pursuant to securities sold under agreements to repurchase transactions with a maturity of one day of $62.7 million as of December 31, 2006. Lastly, the Company had a line of credit with the FHLB for $576.1 million as of December 31, 2006. There was $88.9 million outstanding under this line at December 31, 2006.

NON GAAP MEASURES

SFAS No. 141,Business Combinations (“SFAS No. 141”), requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. Prior to the issuance of SFAS No. 141, the Company accounted for most of its acquisition activity using the pooling method of accounting. The acquisitions of Prosperity and Guaranty are the two business combinations accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. At December 31, 2006, core deposit intangible assets and goodwill totaled $12.3 million and $50.0, respectively, compared to $8.5 million and $31.3 million, respectively, in 2005.

In reporting the results of 2006 and 2005, the Company has provided supplemental performance measures on an operating or tangible basis. Such measures exclude amortization expense related to intangible assets, such as core deposit intangibles. The Company believes these measures are useful to investors as they exclude non-operating adjustments resulting from acquisition activity and allow investors to see the combined economic results of the organization. Cash basis operating earnings per share was $2.03 for the

33

year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $1.93 in 2005. Cash basis return on average tangible equity and assets for the year ended December 31, 2006 was 20.31% and 1.40%, respectively, compared to 19.57% and 1.51%, respectively, in 2005.

These measures are a supplement to GAAP used to prepare the Company’s financial statements and should not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP measures. In addition, the Company’s non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to non-GAAP measures of other companies. The following table reconciles these non-GAAP measures from their respective GAAP basis measures for the years ended December 31, (dollars in thousands):

ITEM 8.—FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Union Bankshares Corporation

Bowling Green, Virginia

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Union Bankshares Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2006. We also have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A, that Union Bankshares Corporation and subsidiaries maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established inInternal Control— Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Union Bankshares Corporation and subsidiaries’ management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements, an opinion on management’s assessment, and an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of Union Mortgage Group, Inc. (formerly Mortgage Capital Investors, Inc.), a consolidated subsidiary, for the year ended December 31, 2004, which reflects total revenue constituting 13% of the related consolidated total. That statement was audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion for 2004, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Union Mortgage Group, Inc., is based solely on the report of the other auditors.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits and the report of the other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

36

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Union Bankshares Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2006 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, based on our audit, management’s assessment that Union Bankshares Corporation and subsidiaries maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on criteria established inInternal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Furthermore, in our opinion, based on our audit, Union Bankshares Corporation and subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established inInternal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

UNION BANKSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies and practices of Union Bankshares Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and follow general practice within the banking industry. Major policies and practices are described below. In addition, share and per share amounts for all periods presented in the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effect of the three-for-two stock split in October 2006.

(A) Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, which is a bank holding company that owns all of the outstanding common stock of its banking subsidiaries, Union Bank and Trust Company (“Union Bank”), Northern Neck State Bank, Rappahannock National Bank, Bay Community Bank (formerly Bank of Williamsburg), Prosperity Bank & Trust Company (“Prosperity”) and of Union Investment Services. Union Mortgage Group, Inc. (“Union Mortgage”) (formerly Mortgage Capital Investors, Inc.) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Union Bank. Bay Community Bank has a non-controlling interest in Johnson Mortgage Company, LLC, which is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The Company’s Statutory Trust I & II, wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, were formed for the purpose of issuing redeemable Capital Securities in connection with the Company’s acquisitions of Guaranty Financial Corporation in May 2004 and its wholly owned subsidiary, Guaranty Bank (“Guaranty”) and Prosperity in April 2006. Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) Interpretation No. 46RConsolidation of Variable Interest—an interpretation of ARB No. 51 (“FIN 46R”) precludes the Company from consolidating Statutory Trust I & II. The subordinated debts payable to the trusts are reported as liabilities of the Company. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated. The accompanying consolidated financial statements for prior periods reflect certain reclassifications in order to conform to the current presentation.

(B) Investment Securities

Debt securities that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity and reported at amortized cost. The Company has no securities in this category.

Securities classified as available for sale are those debt and equity securities that management intends to hold for an indefinite period of time, including securities used as part of the Company’s asset/liability strategy, and that may be sold in response to changes in interest rates, liquidity needs or other similar factors or called by the issuer under the terms of the debt. Securities available for sale are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains or losses, net of deferred taxes, included in accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity.

Securities classified as held for trading are those debt and equity securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings.

Purchased premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the terms of the securities. Declines in the fair value of held to maturity and available for sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. The Company has recognized no other-than-temporary losses. Gains and losses on the sale of securities are recorded on the trade date and are determined using the specific identification method.

42

(C) Loans Held For Sale

Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are sold servicing released and carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value which is determined in the aggregate based on sales commitments to permanent investors or on current market rates for loans of similar quality and type. In addition, the Company requires a firm purchase commitment from a permanent investor before a loan can be closed, thus limiting interest rate risk. As a result, loans held for sale are stated at fair value. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to income.

(D) Loans

The Company grants mortgage, commercial and consumer loans to customers. A substantial portion of the loan portfolio is represented by mortgage loans and commercial real estate loans throughout its market area. The ability of the Company’s debtors to honor their contracts is dependent upon the real estate and general economic conditions in this area.

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off generally are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances adjusted for charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the related loan yield using the interest method.

The accrual of interest on mortgage and commercial loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the credit is well secured and in process of collection. Credit card loans and other personal loans are typically charged-off no later than 180 days past due. In all cases, loans are placed on non-accrual status or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal and interest is considered doubtful.

All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on non-accrual status or charged-off is reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

(E) Allowance For Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses charged to operations is an amount sufficient to bring the allowance for loan losses to an estimated balance that management considers adequate to absorb potential losses in the portfolio. Loans are charged against the allowance when management believes the collectibility of the principal is unlikely. Recoveries of amounts previously charged-off are credited to the allowance. Management’s determination of the adequacy of the allowance is based on an evaluation of the composition of the loan portfolio, the value and adequacy of collateral, current economic conditions, historical loan loss experience, and other risk factors. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions, particularly those affecting real estate values. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.

The allowance consists of specific, general and unallocated components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as doubtful, substandard or special mention. For such loans that are also classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or

43

observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for various qualitative factors. An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses. The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial and construction loans 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. Accordingly, the Company generally does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures.

(F) Bank Premises and Equipment

Bank premises and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed using either the straight-line or accelerated method based on the type of asset involved. The Company’s policy is to capitalize additions and improvements and to depreciate the cost thereof over their estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to 40 years. Maintenance, repairs and renewals are expensed as they are incurred.

(G) Goodwill and Intangible Assets

SFAS No. 141,Business Combinations, requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. For purchase acquisitions, the Company is required to record assets acquired, including identifiable intangible assets, and liabilities assumed at their fair value, which in many instances involves estimates based on third party valuations, such as appraisals, or internal valuations based on discounted cash flow analysis or other valuation techniques. Effective January 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS No. 142”), which prescribes the accounting for goodwill and intangible assets subsequent to initial recognition. The provisions of SFAS No. 142 discontinue the amortization of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives but require at least an annual impairment review, and more frequently if certain impairment indicators are in evidence. The Company adopted SFAS 147,Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions, on January 1, 2002 and determined that core deposit intangibles will continue to be amortized over the estimated useful life.

(H) Income Taxes

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the temporary differences between the book and tax bases of the various balance sheet assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws. Deferred taxes are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

44

(I) Other Real Estate Owned

Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are held for sale and are initially recorded at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Revenue and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation allowance are included in net expenses from foreclosed assets.

(J) Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows

For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company defines cash and cash equivalents as cash due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in other banks, money market investments, other interest-bearing deposits, and Federal funds sold.

(K) Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate solely to outstanding stock options and nonvested stock and are determined using the treasury stock method.

(L) Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) represents all changes in equity that result from recognized transactions and other economic events of the period. Other comprehensive income (loss) refers to revenues, expenses, gains and losses that under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America are included in comprehensive income, but excluded from net income, such as unrealized gains and losses on certain investments in debt and equity securities.

(M) Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these 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 valuation of goodwill and intangible assets, foreclosed real estate and deferred tax assets and liabilities.

(N) Advertising Costs

The Company follows a policy of charging the cost of advertising to expense as incurred. Total advertising costs included in other operating expenses for 2006, 2005 and 2004 were $1.3 million, $1.3 million, and $1.2 million, respectively.

(O) Off Balance Sheet Credit Related Financial Instruments

In the ordinary course of business, the Company has entered into commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.

(P) Rate Lock Commitments

The Company enters into commitments to originate mortgage loans whereby the interest rate on the loan is determined prior to funding (rate lock commitments). Rate lock commitments on mortgage loans that are intended to be sold are considered to be derivatives. The period of time between issuance of a loan commitment and closing and sale of the loan generally ranges from 30 to 120 days. The Company protects itself from changes in interest rates through the use of best efforts forward delivery commitments, whereby the Company commits to sell a loan at the time the borrower commits to an interest rate with the intent that the buyer has assumed interest rate risk on the loan. As a result, the Company is not exposed to

45

losses nor will it realize significant gains related to its rate lock commitments due to changes in interest rates. The correlation between the rate lock commitments and the best efforts contracts is very high due to their similarity.

The market value of rate lock commitments and best efforts contracts is not readily ascertainable with precision because rate lock commitments and best efforts contracts are not actively traded in stand-alone markets. The Company determines the fair value of rate lock commitments and best efforts contracts by measuring the change in the value of the underlying asset while taking into consideration the probability that the rate lock commitments will close. Because of the high correlation between rate lock commitments and best efforts contracts, no gain or loss occurs on the rate lock commitments.

(Q) Variable Interest Entities

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 46,Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities—an interpretation of ARB No. 51 (“FIN 46”), which states that if a business enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, the assets, liabilities and results of the activities of the variable interest entity should be included in the consolidated financial statements of the business enterprise. This interpretation explains how to identify variable interest entities and how an enterprise assesses its interest in a variable interest entity to decide whether to consolidate the entity. FIN 46 also requires existing unconsolidated variable interest entities to be consolidated by their primary beneficiaries if the entities do not effectively disperse risks among parties involved. Variable interest entities that effectively disperse risks will be consolidated unless a single party holds an interest or combination of interests that effectively recombines risks that were previously dispersed. Due to the significant implementation concerns, the FASB revised Interpretation No. FIN 46. Management has evaluated the Company’s investment in variable interest entities and potential variable interest entities or transactions, particularly in trust preferred securities structures, because these entities constitute the Company’s primary exposure.

Currently, other than the impact described above from the deconsolidation of the trust preferred capital notes, the adoption of FIN 46 and FIN 46R has not had a material impact on the financial condition or the operating results of the Company.

(R) Asset Prepayment Rates

The Company purchases amortizing loan pools and investment securities in which the underlying assets are residential mortgage loans subject to prepayments. The actual principal reduction on these assets varies from the expected contractual principal reduction due to principal prepayments resulting from the borrowers’ election to refinance the underlying mortgage based on market and other conditions. The purchase premiums and discounts associated with these assets are amortized or accreted to interest income over the estimated life of the related assets. The estimated life is calculated by projecting future prepayments and the resulting principal cash flows until maturity. Prepayment rate projections utilize actual prepayment speed experience and available market information on like-kind instruments. The prepayment rates form the basis for income recognition of premiums and discounts on the related assets. Changes in prepayment estimates may cause the earnings recognized on these assets to vary over the term that the assets are held, creating volatility in the net interest margin. Prepayment rate assumptions are monitored monthly and updated periodically to reflect actual activity and the most recent market projections.

(S) Concentrations of Credit Risk

Most of the Company’s activities are with customers located in portions of Central and Tidewater Virginia. Securities Available for Sale and Loans also represent concentrations of credit risk and are discussed in Notes 2 and 3, respectively.

46

(T) Stock Compensation Plan

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123R (Revised 2004),Share-Based Payment (“SFAS No. 123R”), which replaces SFAS No. 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (“SFAS No. 123”), and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (“APB Opinion No. 25”). SFAS No. 123R requires the costs resulting from all share-based payments to employees be recognized in the financial statements. Stock-based compensation is estimated at the date of grant, using the Black-Scholes option valuation model for determining fair value. The model employs the following assumptions:

• Dividend yield—calculated as the ratio of historical dividends paid per share of common stock to the stock price on the date of grant;

• Expected life (term of the option)—based on the average of the contractual life and vesting schedule for the respective option;

• Expected volatility—based on the monthly historical volatility of the Company’s stock price over the expected life of the options;

• Risk-free interest rate—based upon the U.S. Treasury bill yield curve, for periods within the contractual life of the option, in effect at the time of grant.

Under APB Opinion 25, compensation expense was generally not recognized if the exercise price of the option equaled or exceeded the market price of the stock on the date of grant. For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $284 thousand, net of tax, or approximately $.02 per share, in accordance with SFAS No. 123R. The following table details the effect on net income and earnings per share had the stock-based compensation expense for stock awards been recorded in periods prior to 2006 based on the fair-value method under SFAS No. 123R.

	2005			2004
Net income, as reported	$	24,822		$	17,925
Add: stock-based compensation included in reported net income, net of related tax effects		118			—
Deduct: stock-based compensation determined under fair value method for all awards, net of related tax effects		(1,312	)		(378	)
Pro forma net income	$	23,628		$	17,547
Earning per share:
Basic—as reported	$	1.89		$	1.42
Basic—pro forma		1.80			1.39
Diluted—as reported		1.87			1.41
Diluted—pro forma		1.78			1.38

The Company has elected to adopt the modified prospective method which requires compensation expense to be recorded for the unvested portion of previously issued awards that remained outstanding as of January 1, 2006. In addition, compensation expense is recorded for any awards issued, modified, or settled after the effective date of this standard and prior periods are not restated. For awards granted prior to the effective date, the unvested portion of the awards are recognized in periods subsequent to the adoption based on the grant date fair value determined for pro forma disclosure purposes under SFAS No. 123R.

SFAS 123R requires the Company to estimate forfeitures when recognizing compensation expense and that this estimate of forfeitures be adjusted over the requisite service period or vesting schedule based on the extent to which actual forfeitures differ from such estimates. Changes in estimated forfeitures are recognized through a cumulative catch-up adjustment, which is recognized in the period of change, and also will impact the amount of estimated unamortized compensation expense to be recognized in future periods.

47

The Company’s 2003 Stock Incentive Plan provides for the granting of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, and nonvested stock awards to key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company’s 2003 Stock Incentive Plan replaced the 1993 Stock Incentive Plan, and became effective on July 1, 2003, after shareholders approved the plan at the annual meeting of shareholders held in 2003. The Stock Incentive Plan makes available 525,000 shares (adjusted for the stock split), which may be awarded to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries in the form of incentive stock options intended to comply with the requirements of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (“incentive stock options”), non-statutory stock options, and nonvested stock. Under the plan, the option price cannot be less than the fair market value of the stock on the grant date. The stock option’s maximum term is ten years from the date of grant and vests in equal annual installments of twenty percent over a five year vesting schedule. The Company issues new shares to satisfy share-based awards. As of December 31, 2006, approximately 347,091 shares were available for issuance under the Company’s 2003 Stock Incentive Plan.

(U) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) released Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 expresses the SEC staff’s views regarding the process of quantifying financial statement misstatements. SAB 108 expresses the SEC staff’s view that a registrant’s materiality evaluation of an identified unadjusted error should quantify the effects of the error on each financial statement and related financial statement disclosures and that prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements. SAB 108 also states that correcting prior year financial statements for immaterial errors would not require previously filed reports to be amended. Such correction may be made the next time the registrant files the prior year financial statements. The cumulative effect of the initial application should be reported in the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of that fiscal year and the offsetting adjustment should be made to the opening balance of retained earnings for that year. Registrants should disclose the nature and amount of each individual error being corrected in the cumulative adjustment. The SEC staff encourages early application of the guidance in SAB 108 for interim periods of the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006. The Company currently does not anticipate the effects of SAB 108 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155,Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments – an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140 (“SFAS 155”). SFAS 155 permits fair value measurement of any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation. The Statement also clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of Statement 133. It establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation. SFAS 155 also clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives. SFAS 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company does not expect the implementation of SFAS 155 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156,Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140 (“SFAS 156”). SFAS 156 requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into certain servicing contracts. The Statement also requires all separately recognized servicing

48

assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. SFAS 156 permits an entity to choose between the amortization and fair value methods for subsequent measurements. At initial adoption, the Statement permits a one-time reclassification of available for sale securities to trading securities by entities with recognized servicing rights. SFAS 156 also requires separate presentation of servicing assets and servicing liabilities subsequently measured at fair value in the statement of financial position and additional disclosures for all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company does not anticipate this amendment will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurement” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements but may change current practice for some entities. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those years. The Company does not expect the implementation of SFAS 157 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158,Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans – an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R) (“SFAS 158”). SFAS 158 requires an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. The Company does not anticipate this amendment will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes: An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109. The Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement principles for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return that are not certain to be realized. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company does not expect the implementation of FIN 48 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force issued EITF 06-4,Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements. This consensus concludes that for a split-dollar life insurance arrangement within the scope of this Issue, an employer should recognize a liability for future benefits in accordance with FASB Statement No. 106 (if, in substance, a postretirement benefit plan exits) or APB Opinion No. 12 (if the arrangement is, in substance, an individual deferred compensation contract) based on the substantive agreement with the employee. The consensus is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that EITF No. 06-4 will have on its consolidated financial statements when implemented.

In September 2006, The Emerging Issues Task Force issued EITF 06-5,Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance- Determining the Amount That Could Be Realized in Accordance with FASB Technical Bulletin No. 85-4. This consensus concludes that a policyholder should consider any additional amounts included in the contractual terms of the insurance policy other than the cash surrender value in determining the amount that could be realized under the insurance contract. A consensus also was reached that a policyholder should determine the amount that could be realized under the life insurance contract assuming the surrender of an individual-life by individual-life policy (or certificate by certificate in a group policy). The consensuses are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that EITF No. 06-5 will have on its consolidated financial statements when implemented.

(V) Business Combinations

On April 1, 2006, the Company completed the acquisition of Prosperity in an all cash transaction valued at approximately $36 million. Prosperity, with nearly $130 million in assets, operates three offices in Springfield and Burke, Virginia, located in Fairfax County, a suburb of Washington, D.C. Prosperity operates as an independent bank subsidiary of the Company. The acquisition was financed with proceeds from the issuance of trust preferred capital notes. As part of the purchase price allocation for the acquisition of Prosperity, the Company recorded approximately $5.5 million in core deposit intangible assets and $18.8 million in goodwill. The core deposit intangible assets recorded in the Prosperity acquisition are being amortized over an average of 9.1 years.

On May 1, 2004, the Company completed its acquisition of Guaranty headquartered in Charlottesville, Virginia. This acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The total consideration paid to Guaranty stockholders in connection with the acquisition was approximately $54.9 million with approximately $23.2 million in cash and 1.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company operated Guaranty as a separate subsidiary until September 13, 2004, when the operations of Guaranty were merged with and into the Company’s largest subsidiary, Union Bank. Guaranty transactions have been included in Union Bank’s financial results since May 1, 2004. Acquired assets on May 1, 2004 totaled $248 million, including $165 million in loans and $184 million in deposits. As part of the purchase price allocation for the acquisition of Guaranty, the Company recorded approximately $5.8 million in core deposit intangible assets and $30.1 million in goodwill, in 2004. The core deposit intangible assets recorded in the Guaranty acquisition are being amortized over an average of 8.7 years.

The Company accounts for acquisitions under the purchase method of accounting and accordingly is required to record the assets acquired, including identified intangible assets and liabilities assumed at their fair value, which often involves estimates based on third party valuations, such as appraisals, or internal valuations based on discounted cash flow analyses or other valuation techniques, which are inherently subjective. The amortization of identified intangible assets is based upon the estimated economic benefits to be received, which is also subjective. These estimates also include the establishment of various accruals and allowances based on planned facility dispositions and employee severance considerations, among other acquisition-related items. In addition, purchase acquisitions typically result in goodwill, which is subject to at least annual impairment testing, or more frequently if certain indicators are in evidence, based on the fair value of net assets acquired compared to the carrying value of goodwill.

The Company and the acquired entity also incur merger-related costs during an acquisition. The Company capitalizes direct costs of the acquisition, such as investment banker and attorneys’ fees and includes them as part of the purchase price. Other merger-related internal costs associated with acquisitions are expensed as incurred. Some examples of these merger-related costs include, but are not limited to, systems conversions, integration planning consultants and advertising fees. These merger-related costs are included within the Consolidated Statement of Income classified within the noninterest expense line. The acquired entity records merger-related costs which result from a plan to exit an activity, involuntarily terminate or relocate employees and are recognized as liabilities assumed as of the consummation date of the acquisition.

The Company’s merger-related costs for the year ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 were $263 thousand, $17 thousand, and $343 thousand, respectively. Prior to the mergers, the acquired entities, Prosperity and Guaranty, recorded merger-related costs of approximately $849 thousand and $1.3 million principally related to employee severance and investment banker fees.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to (i) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (ii) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (iii) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

The primary purpose of the investment portfolio is to generate income and meet liquidity needs of the Company through readily saleable financial instruments. The portfolio includes fixed rate bonds, whose prices move inversely with rates. At the end of any accounting period, the investment portfolio has unrealized gains and losses. The Company monitors the portfolio, which is subject to liquidity needs, market rate changes and credit risk changes, to see if adjustments are needed. The primary cause of temporary impairments is the decline in the prices of the bonds as rates have risen. At December 31, 2006, there were $84.8 million of individual securities that had been in a continuous loss position for more than 12 months. Additionally, these securities had an unrealized loss of $1.8 million and primarily consisted of mortgage-backed securities. Since the declines in fair value were attributable to changes in market interest rates, not in estimated cash flows or credit quality, no other-than-temporary impairment was recorded at December 31, 2006.

The following tables present the gross unrealized losses and fair values at December 31, 2006 and 2005, aggregated by investment category and length of time that the individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position (dollars in thousands):

6. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Effective January 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, which prescribes the accounting for goodwill and intangible assets subsequent to initial recognition. The provisions of SFAS No. 142 discontinue the amortization of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives but requires at least an annual impairment review and more frequently if certain impairment indicators are in evidence. Based on the testing for impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, there were no impairment charges for 2006, 2005 or 2004. Core deposit intangible assets are being amortized over the period of expected benefit, which ranges from 5 to 15 years.

On March 30, 2006, the Company formed Statutory Trust II, a wholly-owned subsidiary, for the purpose of issuing redeemable capital securities in connection with the acquisition of Prosperity that was completed on April 1, 2006. A Trust Preferred Capital Note of $36.0 million was issued through a pooled underwriting. The securities have a LIBOR-indexed floating rate (three month LIBOR plus 1.40%) which adjusts and is payable quarterly. The interest rate at December 31, 2006 was 6.76%. The redeemable securities may be called at par after five years on March 31, 2011 and each quarterly anniversary of such date until the securities mature in 30 years on March 31, 2036. The principal asset of the Statutory Trust II is $37.1 million of the Company’s junior subordinated debt securities with like maturities and like interest rates to the capital notes, while $1.1 million is reflected as the Company’s investment in Statutory Trust II reported as “Other assets” within the consolidated balance sheet.

During the first quarter of 2004, the Company’s Statutory Trust I, a wholly-owned subsidiary, was formed for the purpose of issuing redeemable capital securities in connection with the acquisition of Guaranty Financial Corporation. A Trust Preferred Capital Note of $22.5 million was issued through a pooled underwriting. The securities have a LIBOR-indexed floating rate (three month LIBOR plus 2.75%) which adjusts and is payable quarterly. The interest rate at December 31, 2006 was 8.11%. The capital securities may be redeemed at par beginning on June 17, 2009 and each quarterly anniversary of such date until the securities mature on June 17, 2034. The principal asset of the Statutory Trust I is $23.2 million of the Company’s junior subordinated debt securities with like maturities and like interest rates to the capital notes, while $696 thousand is reflected as the Company’s investment in Statutory Trust I reported as “Other assets” within the consolidated balance sheet.

56

The obligations of the Company with respect to the issuance of the capital securities constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by the Company of the trust’s obligations with respect to the capital securities. Subject to certain exceptions and limitations, the Company may elect from time to time to defer interest payments on the junior subordinated debt securities, which would result in a deferral of distribution payments on the related Capital Securities and require a deferral of common dividends.

The subsidiary banks maintain Federal funds lines with several correspondent banks totaling $56.7 million and $65.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Additionally, the Company had a line of credit with the FHLB that totaled $576.1 million and $541.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

The Company makes discretionary profit sharing contributions into the 401(k) Plan, ESOP and in cash. Company discretionary contributions to both the 401(k) Plan and the ESOP are allocated to participant accounts in proportion to each participant’s compensation and vested over a six year time interval.

In December 2001, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an incentive compensation plan as a means of attracting, rewarding and retaining management. The plan is based on both corporate and individual objectives established annually for each participant. The corporate goals are based on cash return on equity and earnings per share growth relative to peer banks, while the individual goals are based on specific performance evaluation objectives. Each participant is evaluated within these two categories to determine eligibility and rate of payment based on performance. Salaries and benefits expense includes $464 thousand, $645 thousand, and $392 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, for incentive compensation under this plan.

Under the plan, the option price cannot be less than the fair market value of the stock on the grant date. The stock option’s maximum term is ten years from the date of grant and vests in equal annual installments of twenty percent over a five year vesting schedule. The Company issues new shares to satisfy stock-based awards. As of December 31, 2006, approximately 347,091 shares were available for issuance under the Company’s 2003 Stock Incentive Plan.

Weighted average fair value per option granted	$	10.26		$	8.93		$	8.31

The following table summarizes information concerning stock options issued to the Company’s employees that are vested or are expected to vest and stock options exercisable as of December 31, 2006 (dollars in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

	Stock Options Vested or Expected to Vest		Exercisable
Stock options		304,536		247,438
Weighted average remaining contractual life in years		5.43		4.91
Weighted average exercise price on shares above water	$	18.28	$	16.71
Aggregate intrinsic value	$	3,779	$	3,439

The total intrinsic value for stock options exercised during the year ended December 31, 2006 was $675 thousand. The total intrinsic values of stock options outstanding and exercisable at December 31, 2006 were $3.8 million and $3.4 million, respectively. The fair value of stock options vested during the year ended December 31, 2006 was approximately $161 thousand. Cash received from the exercise of stock options for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $716 thousand. The tax benefits realized from tax deductions associated with options exercised during the year ended December 31, 2006 was $182 thousand.

Nonvested Stock

The 2003 plan permits the granting of nonvested stock, but is limited to one-third of the aggregate number of total awards granted. This equity component of compensation is divided between restricted (time-based) stock grants and performance-based stock grants. The restricted stock vests fifty percent on each of the third and fourth anniversaries of the date of the grant. The performance-based stock is subject to vesting on the fourth anniversary of the date of the grant based on the performance of the Company’s stock price. The value of the nonvested stock awards was calculated by multiplying the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on grant date by the number of shares awarded. Employees have the right to vote the shares and to receive cash or stock dividends (restricted stock), if any, except for the nonvested stock under the performance-based component (performance stock).

The following table summarizes nonvested stock activity for the year ended December 31, 2006:

	Performance Stock		Restricted Stock		Weighted Average Grant- Date Fair Value
Balance, December 31, 2005	8,322		7,995		$	24.12

The estimated unamortized compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to nonvested stock and stock options issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2006 will be recognized in future periods is as follows (dollars in thousands):

	Stock Options		Nonvested Stock		Total
For year ended December 31, 2007	$	126	$	226	$	352

11. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The contractual amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of the Company’s involvement in particular classes of financial instruments.

The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and letters of credit written is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. Unless noted otherwise, the Company does not require collateral or other security to support off-balance sheet financial instruments with credit risk.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to customers as long as there are no violations of any conditions established in the contracts. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Because many of the commitments may expire without being completely drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. At

December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company had outstanding loan commitments approximating $688.8 million and $654.6 million, respectively.

61

Letters of credit written are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of customers to third parties. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. The amount of standby letters of credit whose contract amounts represent credit risk totaled $32.6 million and $28.2 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

At December 31, 2006, Union Mortgage had rate lock commitments to originate mortgage loans amounting to $22.8 million and loans held for sale of $20.1 million. Union Mortgage has entered into corresponding mandatory commitments on a best-efforts basis to sell loans on a servicing released basis totaling approximately $42.9 million. These commitments to sell loans are designed to eliminate Union Mortgage’s exposure to fluctuations in interest rates in connection with rate lock commitments and loans held for sale.

12. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company has entered into transactions with its directors, principal officers and affiliated companies in which they are principal stockholders. Such transactions were made in the ordinary course of business on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the same time for comparable transactions with other customers, and did not, in the opinion of management, involve more than normal credit risk or present other unfavorable features. The aggregate amount of loans to such related parties totaled $31.2 million and $24.9 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. During 2006, new advances to such related parties amounted to $38.8 million and repayments amounted to $32.5 million. The aggregate amount of loans to related parties acquired in the Prosperity acquisition, totaled $856 thousand, which is included in the new advances total for 2006.

13. EARNINGS PER SHARE

The basic EPS calculation was computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, including the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding attributable to stock awards. There were approximately 26,394, 2,000, and 35,000 anti-dilutive options as of December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

The following is a reconciliation of the denominators of the basic and diluted EPS computations for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 (in thousands except per share data):

	Income (Numerator)		Weighted Average Shares (Denominator)	Per Share Amount
For the Year Ended December 31, 2006
Basic EPS	$	25,992	13,233	$	1.97
Effect of dilutive stock awards		—	129		(0.03	)
Diluted EPS	$	25,992	13,362	$	1.94
For the Year Ended December 31, 2005
Basic EPS	$	24,822	13,143	$	1.89
Effect of dilutive stock awards		—	132		(0.02	)
Diluted EPS	$	24,822	13,275	$	1.87
For the Year Ended December 31, 2004
Basic EPS	$	17,925	12,604	$	1.42

Diluted EPS	$	17,925	12,723	$	1.41

14. COMMITMENTS AND LIABILITIES

In the ordinary course of its operations, the Company and its subsidiaries are parties to various legal proceedings. Based on the information presently available, and after consultation with legal counsel, management believes that the ultimate outcome in such proceedings, in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the business or the financial condition or results of operations of the Company.

The Company must maintain a reserve against its deposits in accordance with Regulation D of the Federal Reserve Act. For the final weekly reporting period in the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the aggregate amount of daily average required reserves, net of vault cash, was approximately $1.6 million and $1.8 million, respectively.

The Company has approximately $7.9 million in deposits in other financial institutions in excess of amounts insured by the FDIC at December 31, 2006.

15. REGULATORY MATTERS

The Company and its subsidiary banks are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory—and possibly additional discretionary—actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s and the Community Banks’ financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action (PCA), the Company and the Community Banks must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and Banks to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of Total to Risk-Weighted Assets (as defined) and Tier I capital (as defined) to Average Assets (as defined) and Risk-Weighted Assets. Management believes, as of December 31, 2006, that the Company met all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

The Company and its principal banking subsidiaries’ actual capital amounts and ratios are also presented in the following table at December 31, 2006 and 2005 (dollars in thousands):

16. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND INTEREST RATE RISK

The fair value of a financial instrument is the current amount that would be exchanged between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation. Fair value is best determined based on quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company’s various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instruments. SFAS No. 107,Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (“SFAS No. 107”), excludes certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For those short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Investment Securities Available for Sale

For investment securities available for sale, fair value is determined by quoted market price. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities.

Loans Held for Sale

Fair values of mortgage loans held for sale are based on commitments on hand from investors or prevailing market prices.

Loans

The fair value of performing loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining

64

maturities. Fair value for significant nonperforming loans is based on recent external appraisals. If appraisals are not available, estimated cash flows are discounted using a rate commensurate with the risk associated with the estimated cash flows.

Deposits

The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Borrowings

The carrying value of short-term borrowings is a reasonable estimate of fair value. The fair value of long-term borrowings is estimated based on interest rates currently available for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.

Accrued Interest

The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.

Commitments to Extend Credit and Standby Letters of Credit

The fair value of commitments is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The fair value of letters of credit is based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate them or otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties at the reporting date. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the carrying value and fair value of loan commitments and standby letters of credit was immaterial.

The carrying values and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 are as follows (dollars in thousands):

	2006				2005
	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
Financial assets:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	75,890	$	75,890	$	69,538	$	69,538
Securities available for sale		282,824		282,824		246,017		246,017
Loans held for sale		20,084		20,084		28,068		28,068
Net loans		1,530,297		1,537,829		1,345,138		1,359,193
Accrued interest receivable		10,897		10,897		8,919		8,919
Financial liabilities:
Deposits		1,665,908		1,668,881		1,456,515		1,447,389
Borrowings		211,856		213,814		173,624		179,152
Accrued interest payable		3,274		3,274		2,146		2,146

The Company 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 Company’s financial instruments will change when interest rate levels change and that change may be either favorable or unfavorable to the Company. Management attempts to match maturities of assets and liabilities to the extent believed necessary to minimize interest rate risk. 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 rates and maturities of assets and liabilities and attempts to minimize interest rate risk by adjusting terms of new loans and deposits and by investing in securities with terms that mitigate the Company’s overall interest rate risk.

17. PARENT COMPANY FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The primary sources of funds for the dividends paid by Union Bankshares Corporation (the “Parent Company”) are dividends received from its subsidiary banks. The payments of dividends by the subsidiary banks and the ability of the banks to loan or advance funds to the Parent Company are subject to certain statutory limitations which contemplate that the current year earnings and earnings retained for the two preceding years may be paid to the Parent Company without regulatory approval. As of December 31, 2006, the aggregate amount of unrestricted funds, which could be transferred from the Company’s subsidiaries to the Parent Company, without prior regulatory approval, totaled approximately $46.0 million, or 23%, of the consolidated net assets.

Financial information for the Parent Company is as follows:

18. SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company has two reportable segments: traditional full service community banks and a mortgage loan origination business. The community bank business includes five banks, which provide loan, deposit, investment, and trust services to retail and commercial customers throughout their 51 retail locations in

67

Virginia and the D.C. metro area. The mortgage segment provides a variety of mortgage loan products principally in Virginia and Maryland. These loans are originated and sold primarily in the secondary market through purchase commitments from investors, which subject the Company to only de minimus risk.

Profit and loss is measured by net income after taxes including realized gains and losses on the Company’s investment portfolio. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Inter-segment transactions are recorded at cost and eliminated as part of the consolidation process.

Both of the Company’s reportable segments are service based. The mortgage business is a fee-based business while the banks are driven principally by net interest income. The banks provide a distribution and referral network through their customers for the mortgage loan origination business. The mortgage segment offers a more limited referral network for the banks, due largely to the minimal degree of overlapping geographic markets.

The community bank segment provides the mortgage segment with the short-term funds needed to originate mortgage loans through a warehouse line of credit and charges the mortgage banking segment interest at the three month LIBOR rate plus 25 basis points. These transactions are eliminated in the consolidation process. A management fee for operations and administrative support services is charged to all subsidiaries and eliminated in the consolidated totals.

Information about reportable segments and reconciliation of such information to the consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 are as follows (dollars in thousands):

20. STOCK SPLIT

On September 7, 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a three-for-two stock split to shareholders of record as of the close of business on October 2, 2006. Shares resulting from the split have been distributed by the Company’s transfer agent on October 13, 2006. Fractional shares were settled in cash based on the closing price of the Company’s shares reported by the NASDAQ Global Select Market as of October 13, 2006. Following the stock split, the number of outstanding shares increased to approximately 13.3 million shares. Accordingly, share and per share amounts for all periods presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effect of the three-for-two split.

ITEM 9.—CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.

Not applicable. During the past two years, there have been no changes in or reportable disagreement with the certifying accountants for the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

ITEM 9A.—CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company maintains “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating its disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on the assessment using those criteria, management concluded that the internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2006.

Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006 has been audited by Yount, Hyde & Barbour P.C., an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There was no change in the internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2006 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal control over financial reporting.
