NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial reporting and with applicable quarterly reporting regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. They do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. Therefore, these consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the C&F Financial Corporation Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.
In the opinion of C&F Financial Corporation’s management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals and the effect of the offer to repurchase shares as described in Note 3, necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 30, 2005, the results of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 have been made. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of C&F Financial Corporation (the “Corporation”) and its subsidiary, Citizens and Farmers Bank (the “Bank”), with all significant intercompany transactions and accounts being eliminated in consolidation.
Stock Compensation Plans: The Corporation has three stock-based compensation plans that are accounted for under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations. No stock-based compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under these plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Corporation had applied the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based compensation.

On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 123R,Share-Based Payment, that addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions in which a company receives employee services in exchange for either equity instruments of the company or liabilities that are based on the fair value of the company’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. SFAS No. 123R eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic method and requires that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method and recognized as expense in the consolidated statement of income. The effective date of SFAS No. 123R (as amended by the SEC) is for annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The provisions of SFAS No. 123R do not have an impact on the Corporation’s results of operations at the present time. The Corporation will begin recognizing compensation expense in 2006 for options that have been issued but not yet vested prior to January 1, 2006. Projected compensation expense associated with adopting SFAS No. 123R will approximate $345,000 in 2006. This estimate applies only to options issued through June 30, 2005 but not yet vested prior to January 1, 2006. Any options issued after June 30, 2005 will increase compensation expense above this estimate for 2006.
In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107. SAB 107 expresses the views of the SEC staff regarding the interaction of SFAS No. 123R and certain SEC rules and regulations and provides the SEC staff’s view regarding the valuation of share-based payment arrangements for public companies. SAB 107 does not impact the Corporation’s results of operations at the present time.
Options approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors and issued in December 2004 were granted with a six-month vesting period. The effect of the six-month vesting is included in the pro forma earnings per share calculations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2005. This vesting period was determined as part of a broad review of long-term incentive compensation in light of changes in market practice and changes in accounting rules. The issuance of SFAS No. 123R allowed only a very limited period for evaluating the Corporation’s compensation plans and the Board believes the decision for a six-month vesting period on options granted in December 2004 was in the best interest of the Corporation and the shareholders. The Board will continue reviewing the effects of SFAS No. 123R and its impact on compensation plans throughout the Corporation.

Note 2
Diluted net income per share has been calculated on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding for the applicable periods. Potentially-dilutive common stock had no effect on income available to common shareholders.
Note 3
During the first six months of 2004, the Corporation repurchased 26,200 shares of its common stock in privately-negotiated transactions and 23,550 shares in open-market transactions at prices from $36.46 to $41.50. There were no stock repurchases in the first six months of 2005.
On June 1, 2005, the Corporation made an offer to its shareholders to repurchase up to 180,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $41.00 per share net to seller in cash. The initial expiration date of the offer was June 30, 2005. The number of shares tendered by the expiration date far exceeded the 180,000 shares initially authorized. Therefore, the Corporation’s Board of Directors extended the expiration date of its offer until July 22, 2005 and increased the number of shares subject to the offer to up to 450,000 shares. The tender offer expired on July 22, 2005 and 427,186 tendered shares of the Corporation’s common stock were accepted on July 27, 2005. The total cost of the repurchase, including transaction costs, approximated $17.6 million, which has been reflected in liabilities and shareholders’ equity as of June 30, 2005. Refer to Note 7 for a discussion of the Corporation’s issuance of trust preferred securities to partially fund this repurchase.
Note 4
Securities in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2005 are shown below by duration of the period of unrealized loss. No impairment has been recognized on any securities in a loss position because of management’s intent and demonstrated ability to hold securities to scheduled maturity or call dates.

Note 6
The Corporation operates in a decentralized fashion in three principal business segments: Retail Banking, Mortgage Banking and Consumer Finance. Revenues from Retail Banking operations consist primarily of interest earned on loans and investment securities and service charges on deposit accounts. Mortgage Banking operating revenues consist principally of gains on sales of loans in the secondary market, loan origination fee income and interest earned on mortgage loans held for sale. Revenues from Consumer Finance operations consist primarily of interest earned on automobile loans.
The Corporation’s other subsidiaries include:
• | an investment company that derives revenues from brokerage services, |
• | an insurance company that derives revenues from insurance services, and |
• | a title company that derives revenues from title insurance services. |
The results of these other subsidiaries are not significant to the Corporation as a whole and have been included in “Other.”

The Retail Banking segment extends a warehouse line of credit to the Mortgage Banking segment, providing the funds needed to originate mortgage loans. The Retail Banking segment charges the Mortgage Banking segment interest at the daily FHLB advance rate plus 50 basis points. The Retail Banking segment also provides the Consumer Finance segment with a portion of the funds needed to originate loans and charges the Consumer Finance segment interest at the 30-day LIBOR rate plus 250 basis points. The Retail Banking segment acquires certain lot and permanent loans and home equity lines of credit from the Mortgage Banking segment at prices similar to those paid by third-party investors. These transactions are eliminated to reach consolidated totals. Certain corporate overhead costs incurred by the Retail Banking segment are not allocated to the Mortgage Banking, Consumer Finance and Other segments.
Note 7
On July 21, 2005, the Corporation issued $10 million of trust preferred securities through a statutory business trust subsidiary. The proceeds of the trust preferred securities are being used to fund a portion of the Company’s tender offer to repurchase up to 450,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $41 per share net to seller in cash. The tender offer expired on July 22, 2005 and 427,186 tendered shares of the Corporation’s common stock were accepted on July 27, 2005. The total cost of the repurchase, including transaction costs, approximated $17.6 million.
Trust preferred securities are hybrid securities that are treated as Tier 1 capital for regulatory purposes and debt for income tax purposes. The trust preferred securities mature in September 2035, are redeemable at the Corporation’s option beginning after five years and require quarterly distributions to the holders of the trust preferred securities at a fixed rate of 6.07% as to $5 million of the securities and at a rate equal to the three-month LIBOR rate plus 1.57% as to the remaining $5 million, which rate is initially 5.21%. The fixed rate portion of the securities converts to the three-month LIBOR rate plus 1.57% in September 2010.

Note 8
On August 1, 2005, the Consumer Finance segment, consisting solely of C&F Finance Company, entered into an agreement with a third-party lender to obtain financing in the form of a secured revolving line of credit of up to $100 million and maturing four years from the date of closing. The interest rate on the line will be the 30-day LIBOR rate plus from 175 basis points to 180 basis points, depending on the average loan outstanding. This rate represents an approximate 75 basis points reduction in rate from existing financing terms. The outstanding loan balance with the current third-party lender as of June 30, 2005 approximated $59.3 million. The proceeds of the new line are being used to fund the pay-off of the current lender, to provide working capital for loan growth and for other operational needs.

In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 154,Accounting Changes and Error Corrections – A Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3. The new standard changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. Among other changes, SFAS No. 154 requires that a voluntary change in accounting principle be applied retrospectively with all prior period financial statements presented on the new accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to do so. SFAS No. 154 also provides that (1) a change in method of depreciating or amortizing a long-lived nonfinancial asset be accounted for as a change in estimate (prospectively) that was effected by a change in accounting principle and (2) correction of errors in previously issued financial statements should be termed a “restatement.” The new standard is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Corporation does not anticipate this revision will have a material effect on its financial statements.
In November 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) published Issue 03-1,The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments. The Task Force discussed the meaning of other-than-temporary impairment and its application to certain investments carried at cost. The Task Force requested that the FASB staff consider other impairment models within U.S. generally accepted accounting principles when developing its views. The Task Force also requested that the scope of the impairment issue be expanded to include equity investments and investments subject to FASB Statement No. 115,Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, and that the issue be addressed by the Task Force as a separate EITF issue. At the EITF meeting, the Task Force reached a consensus on one issue that certain quantitative and qualitative disclosures should be required for securities accounted for under SFAS No. 115 that are impaired at the balance sheet date but for which an other-than-temporary impairment has not been recognized. The Board ratified the consensus on that one issue at its November 25, 2004 meeting. In September 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board directed the FASB staff to issue two proposed FASB Staff Positions: Proposed FSP EITF Issue 03-1-a, which provides guidance for the application of paragraph 16 of EITF Issue 03-1 to debt securities that are impaired because of interest rate and/or sector spread increases, and Proposed FSP EITF Issue 03-1-b, which delays the effective date of Issue 03-1 for debt securities that are impaired because of interest rate and/or sector spread increases. In June 2005, the FASB reached a decision whereby they declined to provide additional guidance on the meaning of other-than-temporary impairment. The Board directed the FASB staff to issue EITF 03-1a as final and to draft a new FSP that will replace EITF 03-01. The final FSP (retitled FAS 115-1,The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and it Application to Certain Investments) would be effective for other-than-temporary impairment analysis conducted in periods beginning after September 15, 2005. The Corporation does not anticipate this revision will have a material effect on its financial statements

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report contains statements concerning the Corporation’s expectations, plans, objectives, future financial performance and other statements that are not historical facts. These statements may constitute “forward-looking statements” as defined by federal securities laws. These statements may address issues that involve estimates and assumptions made by management and risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from historical results or those anticipated by such statements. Factors that could have a material adverse effect on the operations and future prospects of the Corporation include, but are not limited to, changes in:
1) | interest rates |
2) | general economic conditions |
3) | the legislative/regulatory climate |
4) | monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. Government, including policies of the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve Board |
5) | the quality or composition of the loan or investment portfolios |
6) | demand for loan products |
7) | deposit flows |
8) | competition |
9) | demand for financial services in the Corporation’s market area |
10) | technology |
11) | accounting principles, policies and guidelines |
These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating the forward-looking statements contained herein. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on those statements, which speak only as of the date of this report.
The following discussion supplements and provides information about the major components of the results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and capital resources of the Corporation. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions. Those accounting policies that require our most difficult, subjective or complex judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of these policies, and the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions, or using different assumptions, are described below.
Allowance for Loan Losses:We establish the allowance for loan losses through charges to earnings in the form of a provision for loan losses. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when we believe that the collection of the principal is unlikely. Subsequent recoveries of losses previously charged against the allowance are credited to the allowance. The allowance represents an amount that, in our judgment, will be adequate to absorb any losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible. Our judgment in determining the adequacy of the allowance is based on evaluations of the collectibility of loans while taking into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions that may affect a borrower’s ability to repay, overall portfolio quality and specific potential losses. This evaluation is inherently subjective because it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

Table of Contents
Impairment of Loans: We measure impaired loans based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate of the loan (or, as a practical expedient, at the loan’s observable market price) or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. We consider a loan impaired when it is probable that the Corporation will be unable to collect all interest and principal payments as scheduled in the loan agreement. We do not consider a loan impaired during a period of delay in payment if we expect the ultimate collection of all amounts due. A valuation allowance is maintained to the extent that the measure of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment. The loans currently designated as impaired are being valued based on collateral. The reserves that we have established are based on appraisals of the collateral and have been adjusted for items such as selling costs and current conditions. We believe these adjustments are reasonable.
Impairment of Securities: Impairment of investment securities results in a write-down that must be included in net income when a market decline below cost is other-than-temporary. We regularly review each investment security for impairment based on criteria that include the extent to which cost exceeds market price, the duration of that market decline, the financial health of and specific prospects for the issuer and our ability and intention with regard to holding the security to maturity.
Valuation of Derivatives:The Corporation enters into commitments to originate mortgage loans whereby the interest rate on the loan is determined prior to funding (i.e., rate lock commitments). The period of time between issuance of a loan commitment and closing and sale of the loan generally ranges from 15 to 90 days. The Corporation protects itself from changes in interest rates by entering into loan purchase agreements with third party investors that provide for the investor to purchase loans at the same terms (including interest rate) as committed to the borrower. Under the contractual relationship with the purchaser of the loan, the Corporation is obligated to sell the loan to the purchaser only if the loan closes. No other obligation exists. As a result of these contractual terms with purchasers of loans, the Corporation is not exposed to losses nor will it realize gains related to its rate lock commitments due to changes in interest rates.
Goodwill: On January 1, 2002, the Corporation adopted SFAS No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Accordingly, goodwill is no longer subject to amortization over its estimated useful life, but is subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment using a two-step process that begins with an estimation of the fair value of the reporting unit. In assessing the recoverability of the Corporation’s goodwill, all of which was recognized in connection with the Bank’s acquisition of C&F Finance Company in September 2002, we must make assumptions in order to determine the fair value of the respective assets. Major assumptions used in determining impairment were increases in future income, sales multiples in determining terminal value and the discount rate applied to future cash flows. We completed the annual test for impairment during the fourth quarter of 2004 and determined there was no impairment to be recognized in 2004. As part of the impairment test, we performed a sensitivity analysis by increasing the discount rate, lowering sales multiples and reducing increases in future income. Based on the analysis performed, no charge for impairment was determined to be necessary. If the underlying estimates and related assumptions change in the future, we may be required to record impairment charges.

Defined Benefit Pension Plan: The Bank maintains a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan for eligible full-time employees as specified by the plan. Plan assets, which consist primarily of marketable equity securities and corporate and government fixed income securities, are valued using market quotations. The Bank’s actuary determines plan obligations and annual pension expense using a number of key assumptions. Key assumptions include the discount rate, the estimated future return on plan assets and the anticipated rate of future salary increases. Changes in these assumptions in the future, if any, may impact pension expense as measured in accordance with SFAS No. 87,Employers’ Accounting for Pensions.
Accounting for Income Taxes: Determining the Corporation’s effective tax rate requires making judgments. In the ordinary course of business, there are transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax outcomes are uncertain. In addition, the Corporation’s tax returns are subject to audit by various tax authorities. Although we believe that the estimates are reasonable, no assurance can be given that the final tax outcome will not be materially different than that which is reflected in the income tax provision and accrual.
For further information concerning our accounting policies, refer to Note 1 of the Corporation’s Consolidated Financial Statements in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.
OVERVIEW
Our primary financial goals are to maximize the Corporation’s earnings and to deploy capital in profitable growth initiatives that will enhance shareholder value. We track three primary performance measures in order to assess the level of success in achieving these goals: (i) return on average assets (ROA), (ii) return on average equity (ROE) and (iii) growth in earnings. In addition to these financial performance measures, we track the performance of the Corporation’s three principal business activities: retail banking, mortgage banking and consumer finance. We also actively manage our capital through growth, stock repurchases and dividends.
Financial Performance Measures. For the Corporation, net income for the second quarter ended June 30, 2005 increased 4.1 percent to $3.0 million compared to the second quarter of 2004 and net income for the first half of 2005 increased 7.2 percent to $5.6 million compared to the first half of 2004. Diluted net income per share increased 6.5 percent to $.82 per share and 8.6 percent to $1.52 per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, compared to the comparable periods in 2004. The Corporation’s ROA was 1.90 percent for the second quarter of 2005 compared with 1.99 percent for the second quarter of 2004 and 1.81 percent for the first half of 2005 compared with 1.83 percent for the first half of 2004. The Corporation’s ROE was 16.48 percent for the second quarter of 2005 compared with 17.80 percent for the second quarter of 2004 and 15.60 percent for the first half of 2005 compared with 16.09 percent for the first half of 2004. Factors influencing 2005 earnings included rising interest rates, utilization of the Corporation’s liquidity to fund higher commercial and consumer loan demand, strong seasonal mortgage loan production and higher operating expenses to support growth.
Principal Business Activities. An overview of the financial results for each of the Corporation’s principal segments is presented below. A more detailed discussion is included in “Results of Operations.”
Retail Banking: Net income for the Retail Banking segment for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 increased 18.8 percent to approximately $1.6 million compared to the second quarter of 2004 and net income for the six months ended June 30, 2005 increased 13.7 percent to approximately $3.0 million

compared to the first half of 2004. The improvement in the performance of the Retail Banking segment during these periods resulted from a higher level of and a higher-yielding composition of earning assets. These improvements were offset in part by an increase in the provision for loan losses and an increase in operational and administrative expenses to support growth.
During the first half of 2005, the Bank installed a new mainframe computer, upgraded its primary operating system and enhanced the operating platform in all branches, which will increase our efficiency and help us offer better customer service. In addition, progress continues on the Bank’s new operations center, which we expect to occupy by the end of 2005. The Bank has also started construction of two new retail branches in the Virginia Peninsula region, which we expect to open in the first quarter of 2006.
Mortgage Banking: Net income for the Mortgage Banking segment for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 decreased 13.2 percent to approximately $765,000 compared to the second quarter of 2004 and net income for the six months ended June 30, 2005 increased 5.9 percent to approximately $1.3 million compared to the first half of 2004. Net income for the second quarter of 2005 was impacted by lower profit margins on loans sold attributable to product mix and more competitive pricing offset in part by a 1.2 percent increase in the volume of loans sold. The volume of loans sold in the first half of 2005 increased by 12.1 percent, which more than offset the lower profit margins. For the second quarter of 2005, the amount of loan originations at C&F Mortgage resulting from refinancings was $87.4 million compared to $96.6 million for the second quarter of 2004. Loans originated for new and resale home purchases for these two quarters were $214.3 million and $169.6 million, respectively. For the first half of 2005, the amount of loan originations at C&F Mortgage resulting from refinancings was $166.5 million compared to $152.8 million for the first half of 2004. Loans originated for new and resale home purchases for these two six-month periods were $338.1 million and $283.8 million, respectively. Future earnings of the Mortgage Banking segment may be negatively affected if the upward trend in interest rates continues and there are fewer new and resale home sales and loan refinancings.
Consumer Finance: Net income for the Consumer Finance segment for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 decreased 2.7 percent to approximately $605,000 compared to the second quarter of 2004 and net income for the six months ended June 30, 2005 increased 2.3 percent to approximately $1.2 million compared to the first half of 2004. The second quarter decline was attributable to net interest margin compression resulting from increased variable-rate borrowings offset in part by a 19.3 percent increase in average loans outstanding. The increase for the first half of 2005 resulted from an 18.5 percent increase in average loans outstanding, which more than offset the increases in the cost of borrowings attributable to rising interest rates, the provision for loan losses and operating expenses to support growth and technology investments.
During the second quarter of 2005, the Consumer Finance segment completed its conversion to a new loan system, which will create efficiencies and expand capacity for new business. The Consumer Finance segment will move its operations center to a new location in Richmond, Virginia during the third quarter of 2005. Also, during the third quarter of 2005, the Consumer Finance segment entered into a new agreement with a third-party lender to obtain financing in the form of a secured revolving line of credit at a rate of interest that represents a reduction from existing financing terms of from 70 to 75 basis points. Future earnings of the Consumer Finance segment in the short-term will also be affected by the continuing investments in technology to enhance operations and the initial start-up costs associated with the expansion of the Consumer Finance segment into new markets.

Capital Management. Total assets grew by $63.0 million to $672.2 million during the first half of 2005. A detailed discussion of the changes in our financial position is included in “Financial Condition.” Dividends for the first half of 2005 were 48 cents per share versus 44 cents per share in the first half of 2004. The weighted average number of shares outstanding in the first half of 2005 was 3,554,303 compared to 3,585,750 in the first half of 2004. This decrease resulted from the repurchase of 89,050 shares throughout 2004.
On June 1, 2005, the Corporation made an offer to its shareholders to repurchase up to 180,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $41.00 per share. The initial expiration date of the offer was June 30, 2005. The number of shares tendered by the expiration date far exceeded the 180,000 shares initially authorized. Therefore, the Corporation’s Board of Directors extended the expiration date of its offer until July 22, 2005 and increased the number of shares subject to the offer to up to 450,000 shares. The tender offer expired on July 22, 2005 and 427,186 tendered shares of the Corporation’s common stock were accepted on July 27, 2005. The total cost of the repurchase, including transaction costs, approximated $17.6 million, which has been reflected in liabilities and shareholders’ equity as of June 30, 2005. We expect that this transaction will be accretive to earnings per share and return on equity in future periods.

Interest income and expense are affected by fluctuations in interest rates, by changes in the volume of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and by the interaction of rate and volume factors. The following tables show the direct causes of the changes in the components of net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis from the second quarter of 2004 to the second quarter of 2005 and from the first half of 2004 to the first half of 2005. Rate/volume variances, the third element in the calculation, are not shown separately in the table, but are allocated to the rate and volume variances in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of the change in each. Loans include both nonaccrual loans and loans held for sale.

Net interest income, on a taxable equivalent basis, for the second quarter of 2005 was $9.5 million compared to $8.5 million for the second quarter of 2004. Net interest income, on a taxable equivalent basis, for the first half of 2005 was $18.5 million compared to $16.4 million for the first half of 2004. The increases for both periods resulted from growth in the average balance of interest-earning assets and higher net interest margins. Average interest-earning assets increased 9.3 percent for the second quarter of 2005 and 8.1 percent for the first half of 2005. The net interest margin for the second quarter of 2005 increased 14 basis points to 6.49 percent and for the first half of 2005 increased 29 basis points to 6.51 percent.
All of the Corporation’s principal business segments experienced loan growth for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the same periods in 2004. Average loans increased $56.4 million for the second quarter of 2005 and $49.6 million for the first half of 2005 in the Retail Banking segment. Average loans in the Consumer Finance segment increased $16.4 million for the second quarter of 2005 and $15.3 million for the first half of 2005. Average loans held for sale in the Mortgage Banking segment increased $10.2 million for the second quarter of 2005 and $9.6 million for the first half of 2005. The increase in loans at the Retail Banking segment was mainly attributable to loan production in the Virginia Peninsula market and residential construction loan growth. The increase in loans held for sale at the Mortgage Banking segment resulted from higher production volume. The increase in loans at the Consumer Finance segment was mainly attributable to the new markets this segment serves, in addition to overall growth at existing locations. The yield on loans held for investment at the Retail Banking segment and the Consumer Finance segment increased 7 basis points for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2005. The yield on loans held for sale at the Mortgage Banking segment increased 24 basis points for both the second quarter and the first half of 2005. These increases resulted from a general increase in interest rates since June 30, 2004.

Table of Contents
Average securities available for sale decreased slightly for the second quarter and the first half of 2005; however, their average yield increased slightly for the same periods. The decline in the average balance resulted from the utilization of proceeds from maturities and calls to fund the increase in loan demand. The yield increase was a result of the mix of investments and the rise in interest rates. The percentage of shorter-term, lower-yielding investments decreased in 2005 as compared to 2004.
Average interest earning deposits at other banks, primarily the FHLB, decreased $33.2 million and $31.4 million for the second quarter and first half of 2005, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2004; however, their average yield increased 198 basis points and 159 basis points for the second quarter and first half of 2005, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2004. The decline in the average balance resulted from the liquidation of these low-yielding deposits to fund the increase in loan demand. The yield increase reflected the increase in short-term interest rates since the second quarter of 2004.
Although average interest-bearing deposits have increased $12.9 million and $12.6 million for the second quarter and the first half of 2005, respectively, the increase in interest on deposits has been influenced to a greater extent by the increase in deposit rates. The average cost of deposits increased 37 basis points for the second quarter of 2005 and 24 basis points for the first half of 2005. Generally, deposit interest rate increases lag behind the increase in loan interest rates. Although short-term interest rates have increased in 2005, deposits will reprice more gradually as existing certificates of deposit mature in future periods.
The increases in average borrowings of $24.4 million for the second quarter of 2005 compared to the second quarter of 2004 and $17.3 million for the first half of 2005 compared to the first half of 2004 were attributable to loan growth at the Mortgage Banking and the Consumer Finance segments. Loan growth at the Mortgage Banking segment is funded by short-term advances from the FHLB. Loan growth at the Consumer Finance segment is funded by a LIBOR-based line of credit with an unrelated third party. The 122 basis point and 113 basis point increases in the cost of borrowings for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, were primarily attributable to the rising cost of funds at the Consumer Finance segment.
The net interest margin has benefited in the short term as prime-based loans have repriced as the prime rate has changed. However, we expect that the favorable impact of the deposit repricing lag will neutralize in the longer term and the cost of borrowings will continue to increase as short-term interest rates rise.

Total noninterest income increased 3.7 percent to $6.9 million for the second quarter of 2005 and 9.7 percent to $12.6 million for the first half of 2005. These increases were attributable to (1) higher service charges and fees on deposit accounts at the Retail Banking segment resulting from deposit account growth, (2) higher gains on sales of loans and other service charges at the Mortgage Banking segment resulting from an increase in the volume of loans closed and sold and (3) higher other income at the Consumer Finance segment resulting from fees generated from loan originations.

Total noninterest expense increased 4.5 percent to $10.3 million for the second quarter of 2005 and 9.7 percent to $20.0 million for the first half of 2005. The Retail Banking and the Consumer Finance segments reported increases in total noninterest expenses that were primarily attributable to higher personnel and operating expenses to support growth at both segments and technology enhancements at the Consumer Finance segment. Start-up costs associated with the Bank’s expansion efforts will continue throughout 2005 as construction has started on two new retail branches on the Virginia Peninsula. We will also incur additional costs as the Retail Banking segment relocates its operations departments to a new facility in the second half of 2005. The Consumer Finance segment continues to invest in both technology and people to create efficiencies and serve new markets in Northern Virginia and in portions of Tennessee and Maryland. An increase in noninterest expenses for the Mortgage Banking segment reflected higher production-based compensation and operating expenses due to an increase in production.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense for the second quarter of 2005 totaled $1.4 million, an effective tax rate of 31.4 percent, compared with $1.3 million, or 31.0 percent, for the second quarter of 2004. Income tax expense for the first six months of 2005 totaled $2.5 million, an effective tax rate of 31.1 percent, compared with $2.3 million, or 30.2 percent, for the first six months of 2004. There was minimal change in the effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2005 compared to the prior year. The increase in the effective tax rate for the first half of 2005 resulted from a lower proportion of earnings from tax-exempt assets, such as obligations of states and political subdivisions. The change in the composition of earnings mainly reflected the higher earnings at the Mortgage Banking and the Consumer Finance segments for the first half of 2005.

Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses represents an amount that, in our judgment, will be adequate to absorb any losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible. The provision for loan losses increases the allowance, and loans charged off, net of recoveries, reduces the allowance. The following tables summarize the allowance activity for periods indicated:

During the second quarter and first half of 2005, the provision for loan losses was $100,000 and $200,000, respectively, at the combined Retail Banking and Mortgage Banking segments. This provision resulted primarily from the impact of construction and commercial loan growth, rather than any deterioration in asset quality. We believe that the current level of the allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb any losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible.

Table of Contents
The Consumer Finance segment, consisting solely of C&F Finance Company, accounted for the majority of the activity in the allowance for loans losses during the second quarter and first half of 2005. In addition to maintaining the allowance for loan losses, C&F Finance has retained dealer bad debt reserves that were established at the time loans were made and are specific to each individual dealer. Loans charged off at C&F Finance have first been charged to the dealer bad debt reserves, to the extent that an individual dealer had reserves, and the remainder has been charged to the allowance for loan losses. Dealer bad debt reserves are a liability of C&F Finance and payable to individual dealers upon the termination of the relationship with C&F Finance and the payment of outstanding loans associated with a specific dealer. C&F Finance ceased originating loans with a dealer bad debt reserve as of January 1, 2004. However, existing dealer bad debt reserves at December 31, 2003 were retained to absorb future losses for each specific dealer. The provision for loan losses and the corresponding allowance for loan losses at the Consumer Finance segment will increase in future periods as dealer bad debt reserves are phased out by virtue of loan charge-offs or balance pay-offs to dealers. The following table summarizes the dealer bad debt reserves activity:

The increases in net charge-offs to the allowance for loan losses for the second quarter and the first half of 2005 resulted from loan growth and a decrease in loan losses charged to the dealer bad debt reserves because C&F Finance no longer originates loans with dealer bad debt reserves. We believe that the current level of the allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb any losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible.

Accruing loans past due 90 days or more increased from $1.6 million at December 31, 2004 to $3.1 million at June 30, 2005. The most significant component of nonperforming and 90-day delinquent accruing assets was one commercial relationship. The loans to this borrower are in the process of collection and we believe allocated reserves are adequate to cover potential losses.
Nonaccrual loans of the Consumer Finance segment as a percentage of total consumer finance loans declined 7 basis points since December 31, 2004, and was accompanied by a 36 basis point decline in the ratio of the allowance for loan losses and dealer bad debt reserves to total consumer finance loans. As previously mentioned, C&F Finance no longer originates loans with a dealer bad debt reserve provision. Therefore, the ratio of dealer bad debt reserves to total consumer finance loans declined from 1.15 percent at December 31, 2004 to .71 percent at June 30, 2005. The decline in the dealer bad debt reserves was offset in part by a higher provision for loan losses that resulted in an increase in the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total consumer finance loans from 7.15% at December 31, 2004 to 7.23% at June 30, 2005.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
At June 30, 2005, the Corporation had total assets of $672.2 million compared with $609.1 million at December 31, 2004. The increase was principally a result of increases in loans held for sale, loans held for investment and corporate premises, which were offset in part by a decline in interest-bearing deposits in other banks. Growth in loan demand was funded by lowering the amount the Corporation placed in lower-yielding overnight funds, deposit growth and additional borrowings. The increase in corporate premises resulted from construction in process on the Bank’s new operations center and its two Peninsula branches, as well as the acquisition of a new operations center for the Consumer Finance segment.
Loan Portfolio
The following table sets forth the composition of the Corporation’s loans held for investment in dollar amounts and as a percentage of the Corporation’s total gross loans held for investment at the dates indicated:

The increase in loans held for investment occurred predominantly in (1) the variable-rate categories of real estate construction and commercial loans and (2) the fixed-rate category of consumer loans at C&F Finance. Typically, growth in the variable-rate categories will favorably impact net interest margin in a rising interest rate environment. There was also growth in fixed-rate consumer loans at C&F Finance. These loans are funded by variable-rate borrowings; therefore, net interest margin will be negatively impacted in a rising interest rate environment.

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

Total available for sale securities | $ | 70,349 | 100 | % | $ | 72,787 | 100 | % |
The decline in securities available for sale occurred primarily in securities of U.S. government agencies and corporations and resulted from maturities and calls during the first half of 2005.
Deposits
Deposits totaled $464.1 million at June 30, 2005 compared with $447.1 million at December 31, 2004. This increase was primarily attributable to (i) the increase in noninterest bearing deposits, which totaled $83.0 million at June 30, 2005 compared with $78.7 million at December 31, 2004 and (ii) the increase in time deposits, which totaled $196.7 million at June 30, 2005 compared with $182.5 million at December 31, 2004. The increase in deposits is primarily a result of an increase in deposits at the new branch in Newport News, Virginia and at branches in the Richmond, Virginia market.
Other Borrowings
Borrowings totaled $116.8 million at June 30, 2005 compared with $78.3 million at December 31, 2004. This increase occurred in (i) short-term borrowings from the FHLB to fund the increase in loans held for sale at the Mortgage Banking segment, (ii) the Consumer Finance segment’s line of credit to fund this segment’s loan growth and (iii) short-term borrowings from a third-party lender for general corporate purposes.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2005, there have been no material changes to the off-balance sheet arrangements disclosed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.
Contractual Obligations
As of June 30, 2005, there have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of business to the contractual obligations disclosed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.
On July 21, 2005, the Corporation issued $10 million of trust preferred securities through a statutory business trust subsidiary. The proceeds of the trust preferred securities are being used to

fund a portion of the Company’s tender offer. In addition, on August 1, 2005, the Consumer Finance segment entered into an agreement with a third-party lender to obtain financing in the form of a secured revolving line of credit of up to $100 million. These obligations are described in Notes 7 and 8 to the financial statements contained herein.
Liquidity
Liquid assets, which include cash and due from banks, interest bearing deposits at other banks and nonpledged securities available-for-sale, at June 30, 2005 totaled $44.8 million. The Corporation’s funding sources consist of an established federal funds line with a regional correspondent bank of $14.0 million that had no outstanding balance as of June 30, 2005, an established line with the FHLB that had $39.3 million outstanding under a total line of $118.1 million as of June 30, 2005, an unsecured revolving line of credit with a third-party lender that had $7.0 million outstanding under a total line of $7.0 million as of June 30, 2005 and a revolving line of credit with a third party bank that had $59.3 million outstanding under a total line of $60 million as of June 30, 2005. Management has no reason to believe these arrangements will not be renewed at maturity, except for the $60 million revolving line of credit, which will be terminated because the Corporation has entered into a new agreement with another third-party lender for a line of credit of up to $100 million on terms more favorable to the Corporation. This agreement is described in Note 8 to the financial statements contained herein.
As a result of the Corporation’s management of liquid assets and the ability to generate liquidity through liability funding, management believes that the Corporation maintains overall liquidity sufficient to satisfy its operational requirements and contractual obligations.

* | The capital ratios presented above for the Corporation include the effect of the Corporation’s offer to repurchase up to 450,000 of its common stock at $41 per share net to seller in cash. This offer expired on July 22, 2005 and 427,186 tendered shares were accepted on July 27, 2005, which is a date after the Corporation’s quarter end but before the issuance of its financial statements. Accordingly, the Corporation’s capital has been reduced by $17.6 million, which includes estimated transaction costs. |
On July 21, 2005, the Corporation issued $10 million of trust preferred securities to partially fund the tender offer. Trust preferred securities are hybrid securities that are treated as Tier 1 capital for regulatory purposes. The Corporation’s proforma capital ratios assuming the issuance of the $10 million trust preferred securities as of June 30, 2005 are as follows: (i) total capital of $61.0 million to risk-weighted assets resulting in 11.6 percent, (ii) Tier 1 capital of $54.3 million to risk-weighted assets resulting in 10.3 percent and (iii) Tier 1 capital to average assets of 8.7 percent.
Effects of Inflation
The effect of changing prices on financial institutions is typically different from other industries as the Corporation’s assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. Interest rates are significantly impacted by inflation, but neither the timing nor the magnitude of the changes is directly related to price level indices. Impacts of inflation on interest rates, loan demand and deposits are reflected in the consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There have been no significant changes from the quantitative and qualitative disclosures made in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Corporation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Corporation’s management, including the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2005 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Corporation in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Corporation’s management, including the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures will detect or uncover every situation involving the failure of persons within the Corporation or its subsidiary to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in the Corporation’s periodic reports.
Management of the Corporation is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and control of the Corporation’s assets to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. There were no changes in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting during the Corporation’s second quarter ended June 30, 2005 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.

(a)Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
The information set forth under Item 2.03 “Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation” is incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation
On August 1, 2005, C&F Finance Company, the wholly-owned consumer finance subsidiary of C&F Financial Corporation, entered into a loan agreement with a third-party lender in which C&F Finance Company obtained financing in the form of a secured revolving line of credit of up to $100 million maturing in four years. The line is secured primarily by all of C&F Finance Company’s consumer finance receivables. Interest is payable monthly in arrears and the rate of interest on the line is 30-day LIBOR plus from 175 basis points to 180 basis points, depending on the average balance of the outstanding loan. C&F Finance Company has the option to prepay the loan, but will incur a scalable prepayment penalty based on the remaining term of the loan at the time of prepayment. If C&F Finance Company defaults on the line of credit, the third-party lender’s obligation to make advances under the line of credit will terminate and the lender may declare the loan immediately due and payable. The proceeds of the line are being used to fund the pay-off of the current lender, to provide working capital for loan growth and for other operational needs. A copy of the Loan and Security Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.19 to this Report on Form 10-Q and incorporated by reference herein.
