2 C&F Financial Corporation
LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
Dear Fellow Shareholders
[PHOTO]
Larry G. Dillon
Chairman, President, and Chief
Executive Officer
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am pleased to present this Annual
Report for C&F Financial Corporation for the year 1999. Our financial results
for 1999 continue to place our corporation at the top of its peer group in both
Virginia and the nation. Our earnings, assets, and returns all outpaced the
records set in 1998.
In 1999, net income totaled $6.8 million, or 10.14% higher than the record
earnings of 1998. This resulted in a return on average assets of 2.07% and a
return on average equity of 18.17% (these returns do not include the $370,000,
net, one-time increase in earnings discussed below), up from 2.03% and 17.81%,
respectively, in 1998. Our earnings also compare favorably with those of our
peers, who as of September 30, 1999 showed average annualized returns on average
assets of 1.09% and average equity of 12.32%.
Once again we are honored to have been named one of the top 50 mid-sized
community banking organizations in the country by U. S. Banker. In its July 1999
issue, C&F Financial Corporation was recognized for its superior performance
using the criteria of return on assets, return on equity, efficiency ratio,
non-performing assets ratio, and leverage ratio. This is a recognition of which
we are most proud.
Our success in 1999 was due to increased earnings at Citizens and Farmers
Bank and C&F Investment Services, Inc., as well as strong performances by C&F
Mortgage Corporation and C&F Title Agency, Inc. A part of Citizens and Farmers
Bank's performance increase was due to the
collection of a non-accruing loan early in the year that resulted in a $370,000,
net, onetime increase in the Bank's earnings for 1999. Also contributing to the
improved earnings was the Bank's increase in net interest income, which resulted
from higher interest income combined with lower interest costs. The increase in
interest income was primarily the result of increased loan volume. Please review
Management's Discussion and Analysis for a more in-depth review of our numbers.
Our subsidiary companies continue to positively impact the performance and
services of the Corporation. While contributing significantly to the
Corporation's earnings in 1999, C&F Mortgage Corporation did experience a slight
decline in its earnings compared to 1998, as mortgage loan production declined
due to the increase in home mortgage interest rates. This decrease in production
has been experienced by mortgage companies across the nation so it is not unique
to C&F. Some, in fact, experienced losses for the year 1999.

The decline in production also impacted the earnings of C&F Title Agency,
Inc., whose earnings are closely correlated with those of the Mortgage
Corporation. With the decline in mortgage loan production there was a The
decline in production also impacted the earnings of C&F Title Agency, Inc.,
whose earnings are closely correlated with those of the Mortgage Corporation.
With the decline in mortgage loan production there was a corresponding decline
in business at the Title Agency and hence a decline in earnings.
At C&F Investment Services, Inc., sales and income were both up for 1999.
We are very pleased with the contributing impact these services are adding both
to our product offerings and net income. Increased earnings also indicate how
important the addition of this service is to our customer base. During 1999,
assets under management increased by more than $16 million, reaching in excess
of $83 million at year-end. We now have three full-time brokers serving our nine
offices and anticipate adding more in 2000. We are excited with our customers'
acceptance and demand for this service.
In 1999, we took the first step toward another line of services, which we
anticipate will round out our product line and add to our future profitability.
We joined a consortium of state community banks and, under the auspices of the
Virginia Bankers Association, have formed the Virginia Bankers Insurance Center,
LLC to enter the insurance sales marketplace. The strategy for this consortium
is to join resources to acquire an existing general insurance agency and thereby
allow us to offer a full line of insurance products. This strategy will provide
us a lower cost of entry into the insurance arena; give us the opportunity to
buy into a larger and more diversified agency; give us an experienced insurance
agency staff to service an array of various products; and will outsource
management so that we can concentrate on sales. It is anticipated that an agency
will be acquired during the first half of 2000, and the opportunities for sales
will begin shortly thereafter.
Another initiative undertaken in 1999 was the establishment of our Loan
Operations Center in West Point. After a lengthy study, it was determined that
in the long range interest of the Bank, the consolidation of the backroom loan
functions would not only enhance customer service, but would help us assure
uniformity in loan underwriting and production. In the long run, it will reduce
the number of loan personnel needed throughout the organization and the costs
associated with future training. An additional benefit will be to greatly reduce
the risk of any loan discrimination, which is important to us as well as to our
customers. In the short run, this center will add to our overhead, but in the
long run will help us provide better service at reduced costs.
During 1999, Citizens and Farmers Bank took a step that was somewhat
unusual in the Virginia banking marketplace. We formed a new bank, Citizens and
Commerce Bank ("CCB"), which while legally a division of Citizens and Farmers
Bank, will operate as a separate entity. The advantages of this structure are
that the setup is more efficient; regulatory oversight is less burdensome; CCB
will have the capacity to make larger loans as compared to being separately
chartered; and the two banks can more easily serve each others' customers.
Headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, Citizens and Commerce Bank will cater
to both the consumer and small-business markets. CCB opened its first branch on
West Broad Street in Richmond in November and anticipates opening several
additional branches within the next two to three years. With a management team
that is very familiar with the Richmond small-business market and an active,
local Board of Directors, we anticipate this new organization will be very
successful in contributing to the future growth and earnings of the corporation.
In April of this year, Citizens and Farmers Bank will open its tenth branch
office, which will be located at the corner
4
of Jamestown Road and Route 199 in Williamsburg. This facility will be our first
to have branch offices for Citizens and Farmers Bank, C&F Mortgage Corporation,
and C&F Investment Services, Inc., all in the same location. We expect this to
be an excellent addition to our branching network.
While our goal had been to offer internet banking to our customers before
the end of 1999, we deemed it appropriate to delay that service offering until
sometime this year. With the "Y2K" cloud hanging over us the latter part of
1999, we felt it prudent to delay any major computer projects until after
year-end. With Y2K successfully behind us we are now reevaluating the best
solution for offering this service and anticipate having it in place later this
year.
The year 2000 will be challenging in trying to maintain the same earnings
level as was attained in 1999. However, we are confident that the future looks
very bright for your corporation both for asset growth and future earnings.
We could not have achieved these extraordinary results without the
dedication and hard work of an exceptional staff, the insight and direction of
our Boards of Directors, and your support and patronage. Please accept our
gratitude to all who have had a hand in making this a successful year.

Citizens & Commerce Bank
In November 1999, Citizens and Farmers Bank opened Citizens & Commerce Bank
("CCB"), in Richmond, its first banking division operating as a local financial
institution. It is anticipated that CCB will be able to expand through local
management and decision making, while leveraging the many resources provided by
Citizens and Farmers Bank. The Bank offers a full range of banking services to
all its clients as well as mortgage and investment services offered through C&F
Mortgage Corporation and C&F Investment Services, Inc. Citizens & Commerce

OVERVIEW
Net income totaled $6.8 million in 1999, an increase of 10.1% over 1998.
Included in earnings for 1999 is $370,000 in interest income (after taxes)
which resulted from the payoff of a non-accrual loan in January. Excluding
this, net income increased 4.1% over 1998. In 1998, net income totaled $6.1
million, a 24.3% increase over 1997. Diluted earnings per share were $1.81,
$1.56, and $1.25 in 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively. Excluding the interest
income collected on the non-accrual loan, diluted earnings per share was $1.71
in 1999. The increase in earnings per share was a result of higher net income
and the repurchase of 247,500 shares of the Corporation's common stock in 1999
and 204,683 shares of the Corporation's common stock in 1997.
Profitability as measured by the Corporation's return on average equity (ROE),
excluding the interest income collected on the non-accrual loan, was 18.17% in
1999, up from 17.81% in 1998, and 16.08% in 1997. Another key indicator of
performance, the return on average assets (ROA) for 1999, excluding the
interest income collected on the non-accrual loan, was 2.07%, compared to
2.03% and 1.90% for 1998 and 1997, respectively.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NET INTEREST INCOME
During 1999, net interest income, on a tax-equivalent basis, excluding the
one-time interest collected on a non-accrual loan, increased 7.7% to $15.4
million from $14.3 million in 1998. This was a result of a 2.3% increase in
the average balance of interest earning assets and an increase in the net
interest margin to 5.29% for 1999 from 5.02% for 1998. The increase in the
average balance of interest earning assets was a result of an increase in
average balance of loans at Citizens and Farmers Bank (the "Bank") and an
increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits in other banks
and fed funds offset by a decrease in the average balance of securities and
loans held for sale at C&F Mortgage Corporation (the "Mortgage Corporation").
The increase in loans at the Bank was a result of overall higher loan demand
and the increase in interest bearing deposits in other banks and fed funds was
a result of excess liquidity resulting from the decrease in securities. The
decline in securities was a result of a large number of securities being
called in the first half of 1999. The decrease in loans held for sale at the
Mortgage Corporation was a result of a decrease in loan closings to
$457 million in 1999 from $524 million in 1998 and an increase in loan
fundings (sold) to $499 million in 1999 from $481 million in 1998. The
increase in the net interest margin was mainly a result of a decrease in cost
of funds to 3.90% for 1999 from 4.27% for 1998.
The decrease in cost of funds was a result of the decrease in cost of deposits
and borrowings and an overall decrease in the average balance of higher cost
borrowings. The decrease in the cost of deposits and borrowings was a result
of the overall lower interest rate for the first half of 1999. The decrease in
the average balance of borrowings is a result of the decrease in loans held
for sale at the Mortgage Corporation. Borrowings from the Federal Home Loan
Bank ("FHLB") are used to fund loans originated and subsequently sold by the
Mortgage Corporation.
During 1998, net interest income, on a tax-equivalent basis, increased 10.9%
to $14.3 million from $12.8 million in 1997. This was a result of a 16.6%
increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets offset by a
decrease in the net interest margin to 5.02% for the year ended December 31,
1998, from 5.28% for 1997. The increase in the average balance of interest-
earning assets was attributed to an increase in the average balance of loans
at the Bank and loans held for sale at the Mortgage Corporation. The decrease
in the net interest margin was a result of a decrease in the yield on
interest-earning assets resulting from the lower interest rate environment and
a increase in the cost of funds mainly attributed to increased borrowings from
the FHLB. As mentioned above, borrowings from the FHLB are used to fund loans
originated and subsequently sold by the Mortgage Corporation. Loan closings at

31, 1998, compared to $286 million for 1997.

TABLE 2: Rate-Volume Recap
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 analysis shows
the direct causes of the year-to-year changes in the components of net
interest earnings on a taxable-equivalent basis. The rate and volume variances
are calculated by a formula prescribed by the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Rate/volume variances, the third element in the calculation, are
not shown separately, 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 non-accrual loans and loans held for sale.

MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT
As the holding company for a commercial bank, the Corporation's primary compo-
nent of market risk is interest rate volatility. Fluctuation in interest rates
will ultimately impact the level of both income and expense recorded on a
large portion of the Bank's assets and liabilities, and the market value of
all interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, other than those
which possess a short term to maturity. Since the majority of the Corpora-
tion's interest-earning assets and all of the Corporation's interest-bearing
liabilities are held by the Bank, virtually all of the Corporation's interest
rate risk exposure lies at the Bank level. Therefore, all significant interest
rate risk management procedures are performed by management of the Bank. Based
on the nature of the Bank's operations, the Bank is not subject to foreign
currency exchange or commodity price risk. The Bank's loan portfolio is con-
centrated primarily in the Virginia counties of King William, King and Queen,
Hanover, Henrico, Essex, Middlesex, New Kent, Charles City, York, and James
City, and is, therefore, subject to risks associated with the local economy.
As of December 31, 1999, the Corporation does not own any trading assets nor
does it have any hedging transactions in place such as interest rate swaps and
caps.
The Bank's interest rate management strategy is designed to stabilize net in-
terest income and preserve capital. The Bank manages interest rate risk
through the use of a simulation model which measures the sensitivity of future
net interest income and the net portfolio value to changes in interest rates.
In addition, the Bank monitors interest rate sensitivity through analysis,
measuring the terms to maturity or next repricing date of interest-earning as-
sets and interest-bearing liabilities. The matching of the maturities of as-
sets and liabilities may be analyzed by examining the extent to which assets
and liabilities are "interest rate sensitive" and by monitoring an institu-
tion's interest rate sensitivity "gap." An asset or liability is said to be
"interest rate sensitive" within a specific time period if it will mature or
reprice within that time period. The interest rate sensitivity "gap" is de-
fined as the difference between the amount of interest-earning assets antici-
pated, based on certain assumptions, to mature or reprice within a specific
time period and the amount of interest-bearing liabilities anticipated, based
on certain assumptions, to mature or reprice within that time period. A gap is
considered negative when the amount of interest-rate-sensitive liabilities ma-
turing or repricing within a specific time period exceeds the amount of inter-
est-rate-sensitive assets maturing or repricing within that same time period.
During a period of rising interest rates, a negative gap would tend to result
in a decrease in net interest income while a positive gap would tend to result
in an increase in net interest income. In a declining interest rate environ-
ment, an institution with a negative gap would generally be expected, absent
the effect of other factors, to experience a greater decrease in the cost of
its liabilities relative to the yield of its assets and thus an increase in
the institution's net interest income, whereas an institution with a positive
gap would be expected to experience the opposite result.
Certain shortcomings are inherent in any rate method of analysis used to esti-
mate a financial institution's interest rate gap. The analysis is based at a
given point in time and does not take into consideration that changes in in-
terest rates do not affect all assets and liabilities equally. For example,
although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or
repricing, they may react differently to changes in market interest rates. The
interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities also may fluctuate
in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other
types may lag behind changes in market rates. The interest rates on loans with
call features may or may not change depending on their interest rates relative
to market interest rates.
The Corporation is also subject to prepayment risk, particularly in falling
interest rate environments or in environments where the slope of the yield
curve is relatively flat or negative. Such changes in the interest rate envi-
ronment can cause substantial changes in the level of prepayments of loans,
which may also affect the Corporation's interest rate gap position.
As part of its borrowings, the Corporation may utilize, from time to time,
daily and convertible advances from the FHLB-Atlanta. Convertible advances
generally provide for a fixed rate of interest for a portion of the term of
the advance, an ability for the FHLB-Atlanta to convert the advance from a
fixed rate to an adjustable rate at some predetermined time during the remain-
ing term of the advance (the "conversion" feature), and a concurrent opportu-
nity for the Corporation to prepay the advance with no prepayment penalty in
the event the FHLB-Atlanta elects to exercise the conversion feature. Changes
in interest rates from those at December 31, 1999, may result in a change in
the estimated maturity of convertible advances and, therefore, the Corpora-
tion's interest rate gap position.
Also, the methodology used estimates various rates of withdrawal for money
market deposits, savings, and checking accounts, which may vary significantly
from actual experience.
The following table sets forth the amounts of interest-earning assets and in-
terest-bearing liabilities outstanding at December 31, 1999, that are subject
to repricing or that mature in each of the time periods shown. Additionally,
loans and securities with call provisions are included in the period in which
they may first be called. Except as stated above, the amount of assets and li-
abilities shown that reprice or mature during a particular period were deter-
mined in accordance with the contractual terms of the asset or liability.

The following tables provide information about the Corporation's financial
instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates as of December 31,
1999 and 1998, based on the information and assumptions set forth in the
notes. The Corporation believes that the assumptions utilized are reasonable.
The expected maturity date values for loans were calculated by adjusting the
instruments' contractual maturity date for expectations of prepayments, as set
forth in the notes. Similarly, expected maturity date values for interest-
bearing core deposits were calculated based on estimates of the period over
which the deposits would be outstanding, as set forth in the notes. From a
risk-management perspective, however, the Corporation utilizes both maturity
and repricing dates, as opposed to solely using expected maturity dates.
As shown in the table, there have been no significant changes in the
maturities of interest-earning assets or liabilities. The large decrease in
loans held for sale maturing within one year is a result of decreased
production at the Mortgage Corporation. All loans originated at the Mortgage
Corporation are usually sold within one month. The increase in borrowings is
also a result of the increased loan growth at the Bank.

1999 VS. 1998
Non-interest income increased by $265,000, or 2.4%, in 1999. The increase is a
result of increased fees at C&F Investment Services, Inc. (the "Investment
Company") and the Bank and a $139,000 gain on securities which were called
during the year. The increase in fees at the Investment Company and the Bank
is due to overall growth. These increases are offset by a $437,000 decrease in
the gain on sale of loans at the Mortgage Corporation. This decrease is a re-
sult of the overall decrease in production in the Mortgage Corporation which
is a result of the higher interest rate environment in the second half of 1999
as compared to 1998.
1998 VS. 1997
Non-interest income increased by $4.4 million, or 65.4%, over 1997. The major-
ity of the increase was attributed to an approximate $3.1 million increase in
the gain on the sale of loans resulting from an increase in loan production at
the Mortgage Corporation. Loan closings at the Mortgage Corporation totaled
$524 million in 1998 compared to $286 million in 1997 and $174 million in
1996. Other service charges and fees increased $880,000, or 89.1%, over 1997.
The majority of this was attributed to fees associated with loan closings at
the Mortgage Corporation. Other income increased approximately $379,000, or
63%, over 1997. The majority of this income was attributed to increased income
at C&F Title Agency, Inc. (the "Title Agency"). The increase in income at the
Title Agency was a direct result of the increased loan closings at the Mort-
gage Corporation.

1999 VS. 1998
Non-interest expense increased $1.1 million, or 7.5%, over 1998. The majority
of this increase is a result of increased salaries and benefits at the Bank,
the Mortgage Corporation, and the Investment Company. The increase in salaries
and benefits at the Bank is due to overall growth including the formation of
Citizens & Commerce Bank ("CCB"), which operates as a division of the Bank.
CCB was formed in the second half of 1999, and has an area President and a re-
gional Board of Directors. CCB was formed to serve the greater Richmond mar-
ket. Currently, CCB has one branch open. The increase in salaries and benefits
at the Mortgage Corporation was a result of increased non-commission positions
due to the low interest rate environment in the second half of 1998 and the
first half of 1999. The increase in salaries at the Investment Company is a
result of overall growth.
1998 VS. 1997
Non-interest expense increased $3.4 million, or 29.9%, over 1997. $2.0 million
of this increase resulted from increased salaries and employee benefits. The
majority of this increase can be attributed to increased commissions at the
Mortgage Corporation, which was a result of increased loan closings. The re-
mainder of the increase in salaries and employee benefits was a result of gen-
eral pay increases along with the addition of new employees at both the Bank
and the Mortgage Corporation. Other expenses increased by $1.3 million, or
43%, over 1997. The majority of this increase can be associated with costs re-
lated to the increase in loan closings at the Mortgage Corporation. The re-
mainder of the increase can be attributed to general expenses at the Bank in-
cluding $100,000 in costs associated with the Year 2000 ("Y2K") issue.

YEAR 2000 ISSUE
The Y2K issue involved the risk that computer programs and computer systems
would not be able to perform without interruption into the year 2000. If com-
puter systems did not correctly recognize the date change from December 31,
1999 to January 1, 2000, computer applications that rely on the date field
could have failed or created erroneous results. All computer programs and sys-
tems at the Corporation operated without problems when the date changed from
December 31, 1999 to January 1, 2000. While the Corporation will continue to
monitor computer programs and systems, no problems are expected.
To date, the Corporation has expensed $150,000 related with the Year 2000 is-
sue. Remaining expenditures are not expected to have a material effect on the
Corporation's consolidated financial statements.
INCOME TAXES
Applicable income taxes on 1999 earnings amounted to $2,394,000, resulting in
an effective tax rate of 26.1% compared to $2,353,000, or 27.7%, in 1998, and
$1,614,000, or 24.6%, in 1997. The decrease in the effective tax rate for 1999
as compared to 1998 is a result of the increase in earnings subject to no
taxes such as certain loans to municipalities or investment obligations of
states and political subdivisions. The increase in the effective tax rate in
1998 as compared to 1997 was a result of the increase in earnings subject to a
34% tax rate, mainly resulting from increased income at the Mortgage Corpora-
tion, versus earnings subject to no taxes.

The allowance for loan losses is a general allowance applicable to all loan
categories; however, management has allocated the allowance to provide an
indication of the relative risk characteristics of the loan portfolio. The
allocation is an estimate and should not be interpreted as an indication that
charge-offs in 2000 will occur in these amounts, or that the allocation
indicates future trends. The allocation of the allowance at December 31 for

ASSET QUALITY-ALLOWANCE/
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
The allowance for loan losses is to provide for potential losses inherent in
the loan portfolio. Among other factors, management considers the Corpora-
tion's historical loss experience, the size and composition of the loan port-
folio, 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. Since those risks include general
economic trends as well as conditions affecting individual borrowers, the al-
lowance for loan losses is an estimate. The allowance is also subject to regu-
latory examinations and determination as to adequacy, which may take into ac-
count such factors as the methodology used to calculate the allowance and the
size of the allowance in comparison to peer banks identified by regulatory
agencies.
In 1999, the Corporation had $600,000 in provision for loan losses compared to
$600,000 in 1998 and $330,000 in 1997. The increase in provision from 1997 to
1998 was a result of management's recognition of risks associated with the
reduction in residential real estate loans and increasing the volume of
commercial and commercial real estate loans. Loans charged off during 1999
amounted to $86,000 compared to $99,000 in 1998 and $27,000 in 1997.
Recoveries amounted to $28,000, $25,000, and $4,000 in 1999, 1998, and 1997,
respectively. The ratio of net charge-offs to average outstanding loans was
.03% in 1999, .04% in 1998, and .01% in 1997. Management feels that the
reserve is adequate to absorb any losses on existing loans that may become
uncollectible. Table 7 presents the Corporation's loan loss and recovery
experience for the past five years.
NON-PERFORMING ASSETS
Total non-performing assets, which consist of the Corporation's non-accrual
loans and real estate owned, were $49,000 at December 31, 1999, a decrease of
$414,000 from December 31, 1998. The decrease in 1999 was primarily the col-
lection of one large non-accrual loan which was on the Corporation's books at
December 31, 1998.
Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when the collection of prin-
cipal or interest is ninety days or more past due, or earlier, if collection
is uncertain based on an evaluation of the net realizable value of the collat-
eral and the financial strength of the borrower. Loans greater than ninety
days past due may remain on accrual status if management determines it has ad-
equate collateral to cover the principal and interest. For those loans which
are carried on non-accrual status, interest is recognized on the cash basis.
For 1999, $8,000 in gross interest income would have been recorded if non-ac-
crual loans had been current throughout the period outstanding. For the period
ended December 31, 1999, interest income received on non-accrual loans was
$551,000.

CAPITAL RESOURCES
The assessment of capital adequacy depends on a number of factors such as as-
set quality, liquidity, earnings performance, and changing competitive condi-
tions and economic forces. The adequacy of the Corporation's capital is re-
viewed by management on an ongoing basis. Management seeks to maintain a capi-
tal structure that will assure an adequate level of capital to support antici-
pated asset growth and to absorb potential losses.
During March of 1999, the Corporation repurchased 235,000 shares of its common
stock from six shareholders at prices between $19.88 and $20.00 per share in
privately negotiated transactions. During the second half of 1999, the Corpo-
ration repurchased a further 12,500 shares of its common stock in the open
market at prices between $17.00 and $18.00 per share. On April 4, 1997, the
Corporation repurchased 204,683 shares of its common stock. These repurchases
were made to reduce capital as it was high relative to the Corporation's asset
size.
The Corporation's capital position continues to exceed regulatory require-
ments. The primary indicators relied on by bank regulators in measuring the
capital position are the Tier I capital, total risk-based capital, and lever-
age ratios. Tier I capital consists of common and qualifying preferred share-
holders' equity less goodwill. Total capital consists of Tier I capital, qual-
ifying subordinated debt, and a portion of the allowance for loan losses.
Risk-based capital ratios are calculated with reference to risk-weighted as-
sets. The Corporation's Tier I capital ratio was 14.0% at December 31, 1999,
compared to 12.5% at December 31, 1998. The total capital ratio was 15.2% at
December 31, 1999, compared to 13.4% at December 31, 1998. These ratios are in
excess of the mandated minimum requirement of 4.0% and 8.0%, respectively.
Shareholders' equity was $35.1 million at year-end 1999 compared to $36.6
million at year-end 1998. The leverage ratio consists of Tier I capital
divided by average assets. At December 31, 1999, the Corporation's leverage
ratio was 11.3%, compared to 11.5% at December 31, 1998. Each of these exceeds
the required minimum leverage ratio of 4.0%. The dividend payout ratio was
26.6%, 27.7%, and 27.8%, in 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively. During 1999,
the Corporation paid dividends of $0.49 per share, up 11.4% from $0.44 per
share paid in 1998.
The Corporation is not aware of any current recommendations by any regulatory
authorities which, if they were implemented, would have a material effect on
the Corporation's liquidity, capital resources, or results of operations.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1998, FASB issued FAS 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities." FAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards
for derivative financial instruments and other similar financial instruments
and for hedging activities. The standard also allows securities classified as
held-to-maturity to be transferred to the available-for-sale category at the
date of initial application of this standard. FAS 133 is effective for all
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. Management is currently reviewing
this statement to determine the impact, if any, it will have since the Corpo-
ration currently has no derivative instruments.
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 are directly related to price-
level indices. The consolidated financial statements reflect the impacts of
inflation on interest rates, loan demands, and deposits.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting and reporting policies of C&F Financial Corporation and subsid-
iary (the "Corporation") conform to generally accepted accounting principles
and to predominant practices within the banking industry.
Nature of Operations: C&F Financial Corporation is a bank holding company in-
corporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The Corporation
owns all of the stock of its sole subsidiary, Citizens and Farmers Bank (the
"Bank"), which is an independent commercial bank chartered under the laws of
the Commonwealth of Virginia. The Bank offers a wide range of banking services
available to both individuals and small businesses.
The Bank has three wholly owned subsidiaries, C&F Title Agency, Inc., C&F In-
vestment Services, Inc., and C&F Mortgage Corporation, all incorporated under
the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. C&F Title Agency, Inc., organized in
1992, sells title insurance to the mortgage loan customers of the Bank and C&F
Mortgage Corporation. C&F Investment Services, Inc., organized in April 1995,
is a full-service brokerage firm offering a comprehensive range of investment
services. C&F Mortgage Corporation, organized in September 1995, was formed to
originate and sell residential mortgages.
Principles of Consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial state-
ments include the accounts of C&F Financial Corporation and its wholly owned
subsidiary, Citizens and Farmers Bank. All material intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with gener-
ally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the re-
porting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities: Investments in debt and equity securities with readily determin-
able fair values are classified as either held to maturity, available for
sale, or trading, based on management's intent. Available for sale securities
are carried at estimated fair value with the corresponding unrealized gains
and losses included in shareholders' equity on an after-tax basis. Securities
classified as held to maturity are carried at amortized cost. The Corporation
does not have any securities classified as trading securities. Gains or losses
are recognized only on realization at the time of sale using the amortized
cost of the specific security sold.
Federal Home Loan Bank Stock: Federal Home Loan Bank stock is stated at cost.
No ready market exists for this stock, and it has no quoted market value. For
presentation purposes, such stock is assumed to have market value which is
equal to cost. In addition, such stock is not considered a debt or equity se-
curity in accordance with SFAS 115.
Loans: Loans are stated at face value, net of unearned discount and the allow-
ance for loan losses. Unearned discount on certain installment loans is recog-
nized as income over the terms of the loans by a method which approximates the
effective interest method. Interest on other loans is credited to operations
based on the principal amount outstanding. Loans are generally placed on non-
accrual status when the collection of principal or interest is ninety days or
more past due, or earlier, if collection is uncertain based on an evaluation
of the net realizable value of the collateral and the financial strength of
the borrower. Loans greater than ninety days past due may remain on accrual
status if management determines it has adequate collateral to cover the prin-
cipal and interest. For those loans which are carried on non-accrual status,
interest is recognized on the cash basis. Loan fees and origination costs are
deferred and the net amount is amortized as an adjustment of the related
loan's yield using the level-yield method. The Corporation is amortizing these
amounts over the contractual life of the related loans.
Impaired loans are measured based on the present value of expected future cash
flows discounted at the effective interest rate of the loan, or, as a practi-
cal expedient, at the loan's observable market price or the fair value of the
collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. The Corporation considers a
loan impaired when it is probable that the Corporation will be unable to col-
lect all interest and principal payments as scheduled in the loan agreement. A
loan is not considered impaired during a period of delay in payment if the ul-
timate collectibility of all amounts due is expected. A valuation allowance is
maintained to the extent that the measure of the impaired loan is less than
the recorded investment.
Consistent with the Corporation's method for non-accrual loans, interest re-
ceipts for impaired loans are recognized on the cash basis.
Loans Held for Sale: Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or
market, determined in the aggregate. Market value considers commitment
agreements with investors and prevailing market prices. Substantially all
loans originated by the mortgage banking operations are held for sale to
outside investors.
Reserve for Loan Losses: The reserve for loan losses is established through a
provision for loan losses charged to expense. The reserve represents an amount
which, in management's judgment, will be adequate to absorb any losses on ex-
isting loans which may become uncollectible. Management's judgment in deter-
mining the adequacy of the reserve 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 con-
ditions which may affect a borrower's ability to repay, overall portfolio
quality, and review of specific potential losses. Loans are charged against
the reserve for loan losses when management believes that the collectibility
of the principal is unlikely. Actual future losses may differ from estimates
as a result of unforeseen events.
Other Real Estate Owned: Foreclosed assets held for sale are carried at the
lower of (a) fair value minus estimated costs to sell or (b) cost at the time
of foreclosure. Such determination is made on an individual asset basis. If
the fair value of the asset minus the estimated costs to sell the asset is
less than the cost of the asset, the deficiency is recognized as a valuation
allowance. If the fair value of the asset minus the estimated costs to sell
the asset subsequently increases and the fair value of the asset minus the es-
timated costs to sell the asset is more than its carrying amount, the valua-
tion allowance is reduced, but not below zero. Increases or decreases in the
valuation allowance are charged or credited to income.
C&F Financial Corporation
28
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Recovery of the carrying value of such real estate is dependent to a great ex-
tent on economic, operating, and other conditions that may be beyond the Cor-
poration's control.
Corporate Premises and Equipment: Corporate premises and equipment are stated
at cost less accumulated depreciation computed using straight-line and accel-
erated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated useful
lives range from ten to forty years for buildings and from three to ten years
for equipment, furniture, and fixtures. Maintenance and repairs are charged to
expense as incurred and major improvements are capitalized. Upon sale or re-
tirement of depreciable properties, the cost and related accumulated deprecia-
tion are netted against proceeds and any resulting gain or loss is reflected
in income.
Income Taxes: The Corporation uses an asset and liability approach to finan-
cial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and
liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial state-
ment and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or
deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applica-
ble to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable in-
come. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus
or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Defined Benefit Plan: In 1998, the Corporation adopted Financial Accounting
Standards (FAS) 132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other
Postretirement Benefits." This pronouncement does not change the measurement
or recognition of amounts recognized in the Corporation's financial statements
applicable to its defined benefit plan. FAS 132 revises the existing disclo-
sure requirements by standardizing the disclosure requirements for pensions,
requiring certain additional information on changes in the benefit obligations
and fair values of plan assets, and eliminating certain disclosures.
Segment Information: In 1998, the Corporation adopted Financial Accounting
Standard (FAS) 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information." FAS 131 supercedes FAS 14, "Financial Reporting for Segment of a
Business Enterprise," replacing the "industry segment" approach with the "man-
agement" approach. The management approach designates the internal organiza-
tion that is used by management for making operating decisions and assessing
performance as the source of the Corporation's reportable segments. The adop-
tion of FAS 131 did not affect the results of operations or financial position
but did affect the disclosure of segment information.
Comprehensive Income: In 1998, the Corporation adopted Financial Accounting
Standard (FAS) 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." The consolidated
statements of shareholders' equity have been changed to include columns for
comprehensive income and accumulated other comprehensive income. Comprehensive
income for the Corporation includes net income plus the change in the
unrealized gain or loss on securities available for sale. Accumulated other
comprehensive income includes the cumulative changes in unrealized gain or
loss on securities available for sale. Adoption of this standard did not
impact the Corporation's consolidated financial position, results of
operations, or cash flows.
Earnings Per Share: In 1997, the Corporation adopted Financial Accounting
Standard (FAS) 128, "Earnings per Share." FAS 128 replaced the calculation of
primary and fully diluted earnings per share with basic and diluted earnings
per share. Unlike primary earnings per share, basic earnings per share ex-
cludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants, and convertible securities.
Diluted earnings per share is very similar to the previously reported fully
diluted earnings per share. All earnings per share amounts for all periods
have been presented and, where appropriate, restated to conform to the FAS 128
requirements.
Shareholders' Equity: During March of 1999 the Corporation repurchased 235,000
shares of its common stock from six shareholders at prices between $19.88 and
$20.00 per share in privately negotiated transactions. During the second half
of 1999, the Corporation repurchased a further 12,500 shares of its common
stock in the open market at prices between $17.00 and $18.00 per share. On
April 4, 1997, the Corporation repurchased 204,683 shares of its common stock
at a price of $21.00 per share.
On June 16, 1998, the Corporation declared a 100% stock dividend in the form
of a two-for-one stock split. All the financial data included in this Annual
Report has been retroactively restated to reflect the effect of the stock
split.
Statement of Cash Flows: For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, the
Corporation considers cash equivalents to include amounts due from banks, fed-
eral funds sold, and money market investments purchased with a maturity of
three months or less. Generally, federal funds are purchased and sold for one-
day periods.

income would have increased by approximately $8,000, $37,000, and $37,000,
respectively. The balance of impaired loans at December 31, 1999 and 1998, was
$49,000 and $463,000, respectively, with no specific valuation allowance

NOTE 7: Borrowings
Short-term borrowings consist of securities sold under agreements to
repurchase which are secured transactions with customers and generally mature
the day following the date sold. Short-term borrowings also include advances
from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB), which are secured by a blanket
floating lien on all real estate mortgage loans secured by one- to-four family
residential properties.
The table below presents selected information on short-term borrowings:
December 31,
------------------------
1999 1998
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maximum balance at any month-end during the year $27,200,000 $43,609,000
Average balance for the year $12,601,055 $22,237,000
Weighted average rate for the year 4.93% 5.50%
Weighted average rate on borrowings at year-end 4.80% 4.61%
Estimated fair value $30,035,293 $14,661,078
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Corporation has unused lines of credit for borrowings totaling
approximately $47,800,000 at December 31, 1999.
Long-term borrowings consist of convertible fixed-rate advances from the FHLB.
There were no long-term borrowings at December 31, 1999. At December 31, 1998,
convertible fixed-rate advances totaled $10,000,000 with an average interest
rate of 5.01%. These advances are also secured by a blanket floating lien on
all real estate mortgage loans secured by one-to-four family residential
properties.
NOTE 8: Earnings Per Share
The following shows the weighted average number of shares used in computing
earnings per share and the effect on weighted average number of shares of
diluted potential common stock. All shares have been restated to reflect the
effect of a two-for-one stock split in July 1998.

Options on approximately 15,000 and 20,000 shares were not included in
computing earnings per common share--assuming dilution for the years ended
December 31, 1999 and 1997, respectively, because their effects were
antidilutive. All options were included in computing earnings per common
share--assuming dilution for the year ended December 31, 1998.

NOTE 10: Employee Benefit Plans
The Bank maintains a Defined Contribution Profit-Sharing Plan (the "Profit-
Sharing Plan") sponsored by the Virginia Bankers Association. The Profit-
Sharing Plan was amended effective January 1, 1997, to include a 401(k)
savings provision which authorizes a maximum voluntary salary deferral of up
to 15% of compensation (with a partial company match), subject to statutory
limitations. The Profit-Sharing Plan provides for an annual discretionary
contribution to the account of each eligible employee based in part on the
Bank's profitability for a given year and on each participant's yearly
earnings. All full-time employees who have attained the age of eighteen and
have at least three months of service are eligible to participate.
Contributions and earnings may be invested in various investment vehicles
offered through the Virginia Bankers Association. Contributions and earnings
are tax-deferred. An employee is 20% vested after three years of service, 40%
after four years, 60% after five years, 80% after six years, and fully vested
after seven years. The amounts charged to expense under this plan were
$293,584, $281,230, and $244,617 in 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively.

The Mortgage Corporation maintains a Defined Contribution 401(k) Savings Plan
which authorizes a maximum voluntary salary deferral of up to 15% of compensa-
tion, subject to statutory limitations. All full-time employees who have at-
tained the age of eighteen are eligible to participate on the first day of the
next month following employment date. The Mortgage Corporation reserves the
right for an annual discretionary contribution to the account of each eligible
employee based in part on the Mortgage Corporation's profitability for a given
year, and on each participant's yearly earnings. An employee is vested 25% af-
ter two years of service, 50% after three years of service, 75% after four
years of service, and fully vested after five years. The amount charged to ex-
pense under the Plan was $160,000, $185,000 and $50,000 for 1999, 1998 and
1997, respectively.
The Bank adopted a Management Incentive Bonus Plan (the "Bonus Plan") effec-
tive January 1, 1987. The Bonus Plan is offered to selected members of manage-
ment. The Bonus Plan is derived from a pool of funds determined by the Bank's
total performance relative to (1) prescribed growth-rates of assets and depos-
its, (2) return on average assets, and (3) absolute level of net income. At-
tainment, in whole or in part, of these goals dictates the amount set aside in
the pool of funds. Evaluation of attainment and approval of the pool amount
are performed by the Board. Payment of the bonus is based on individual per-
formance and is paid in cash. Expense is accrued in the fiscal year of the
specified bonus performance. Expenses under this plan were $173,200, $166,150,
and $136,700 in 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively. Additional bonuses total-
ing $31,148 and $35,205, were granted to employees not covered by the Bonus
Plan in 1998 and 1997, respectively.
The Bank has a non-contributory, defined benefit pension plan for full-time
employees over twenty-one years of age. Benefits are generally based upon
years of service and average compensation for the five highest-paid consecu-
tive years of service. The Bank funds pension costs in accordance with the
funding provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act. Information
about the plan follows:

NOTE 11: Related Party Transactions

31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. New advances to directors and officers to-
taled $413,000 and repayments totaled $557,000 in the year ended December 31,
1999.
NOTE 12: Stock Options
Under the Incentive Stock Option Plan ("the Plan"), options to purchase common
stock are granted to certain key employees of the Corporation. Options are is-
sued to employees at a price equal to the fair market value of common stock at
the date granted. Prior to December 21, 1999, one-third of the options granted
become exercisable commencing one year after the grant date with an additional
one-third becoming exercisable after each of the following two years. Options
granted on December 21, 1999, become exercisible five years after the grant
date. In 1983, the shareholders authorized 100,000 shares of common stock for
issuance under the Plan. An additional 200,000 shares were authorized for the
Plan in 1994. All options expire ten years from the grant date.
In 1998, the Board of Directors authorized 25,000 shares of common stock for
issuance under the Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan (the "Director
Plan"). In 1999, the Director Plan was amended to authorize a total of 150,000
shares for issuance. Under the Director Plan, options to purchase common stock
are granted to non-employee directors of the Bank. Options are issued to non-
employee directors at a price equal to the fair market value of common stock
at the date granted. The options granted are exercisable six months after
grant. All options expire ten years from the grant date.
In 1999, the Board of Directors authorized 25,000 shares of common stock for
issuance under the 1999 Regional Director Stock Compensation Plan. Under this
plan, options to purchase common stock are granted to non-employee regional
directors of Citizens & Commerce Bank, a division of the Bank. Options are is-
sued to non-employee regional directors at a price equal to the fair market
value of common stock at the date granted. One third of the options granted
become exercisable commencing one year after the grant date with an additional
one-third becoming exercisable after each of the following two years. All op-
tions expire ten years from the grant date.
The Corporation applies APB Opinion 25 and related Interpretations in account-
ing for the stock option plans. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been
recognized for its plans. Had compensation cost for the plans been determined
based on the fair value at the grant dates of options consistent with FASB
Statement 123, the Corporation's net income and earnings per share would not
have been materially different from those amounts shown on the statements of
income for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997 .
The fair value of each option granted during the years ended December 31,
1999, 1998, and 1997, was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-
Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions for 1999, 1998,
and 1997, respectively: risk-free rate of 6.7, 4.5, and 5.6% and volatility of
25, 30, and 20%. The dividend yield used in the pricing model was 2.8, 2.6,
and 3.0% for 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively. The expected lives used was
eight years for 1999, 1998, and 1997.

NOTE 13: Regulatory Requirements and Restrictions
The Corporation and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital re-
quirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet mini-
mum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory--and possibly addi-
tional discretionary--actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a
direct material effect on the Corporation's and the Bank's financial state-
ments. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for
prompt corrective action, the Corporation and the Bank must meet specific cap-
ital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Corporation's and
the Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calcu-
lated under regulatory accounting practices. The Corporation's and the Bank's
capital amounts and classification are subject to qualitative judgments by the
regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Prompt cor-
rective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy re-
quire the Corporation and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set
forth in the table below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regu-
lations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as de-
fined) to average assets (as defined) less goodwill. For both the Corporation
and the Bank, Tier I capital consists of shareholders' equity excluding any
net unrealized gain (loss) on securities available for sale less goodwill, and
total capital consists of Tier I capital and a portion of the allowance for
loan losses. Risk-weighted assets for the Corporation and the Bank were
$251,051,000 and $243,735,000, respectively, at December 31, 1999, and
$278,514,000 and $273,132,000, respectively, at December 31, 1998. Management
believes, as of December 31, 1999, that the Corporation and the Bank meet all
capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.
As of December 31, 1999, the most recent notification from the FDIC catego-
rized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt
corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must main-
tain total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios as set
forth in the table below. There are no conditions or events since that notifi-
cation that management believes have changed the institution's category.

NOTE 14: Commitments and Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk
The Corporation is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet
risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its cus-
tomers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, com-
mitments to sell loans, and standby letters of credit. These instruments in-
volve elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recog-
nized in the balance sheet. The contract amounts of these instruments reflect
the extent of involvement the Bank has in particular classes of financial in-
struments.
The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other
party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby
letters of credit written is represented by the contractual amount of these
instruments.
The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional
obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. Collateral is ob-
tained based on management's credit assessment of the customer. Standby let-
ters of credit are written conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guar-
antee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved
in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in ex-
tending loans to customers. The total contract amount of standby letters of
credit, whose contract amounts represent credit risk, was $5,547,000 and
$4,240,000 at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
Loan commitments are agreements to extend credit to a customer provided that
there are no violations of the terms of the contract prior to funding. Commit-
ments have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require
payment of a fee by the customer. Since many of the commitments may expire
without being completely drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not nec-
essarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each custom-
er's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The total amount of loan com-
mitments was $43,210,000 and $29,043,000 at December 31, 1999 and 1998, re-
spectively.
Commitments to sell loans are designed to eliminate the Mortgage Corporation's
exposure to fluctuations in interest rates in connection with loans held for
sale. The Mortgage Corporation sells substantially all of the residential
mortgage loans it originates to third-party investors, some of whom require
the repurchase of loans in the event of early default or faulty documentation.
Mortgage loans and their related servicing rights are sold under agreements
that define certain eligibility criteria for the mortgage loan. Recourse peri-

less, or have private mortgage insurance, or are insured or guaranteed by an
agency of the U.S. government.
At December 31, 1999, the Mortgage Corporation had locked-rate commitments to
originate mortgage loans amounting to approximately $14,370,000. The Mortgage
Corporation has entered into mandatory commitments, on a best-effort basis, to
sell loans of approximately $39,256,000. Risks arise from the possible inabil-
ity of counterparties to meet the terms of their purchase contracts. The Mort-
gage Corporation does not expect any counterparty to fail to meet its obliga-
tions.
The Mortgage Corporation is committed under noncancelable operating leases for
certain office locations. Rent expense associated with these operating leases
was $330,000, $297,000, and $244,000 for the years ending December 31, 1999,
1998, and 1997, respectively.
Future minimum lease payments under these leases are as follows:

As of December 31, 1999, the Corporation had $4,850,000 in deposits in finan-
cial institutions in excess of amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insur-
ance Corporation (FDIC).
NOTE 15: Disclosures Concerning the Fair Market Value of Financial Instruments
The following disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments
is made in accordance with the requirements of FAS 107, "Disclosures About
Fair Value of Financial Instruments." The estimated fair value amounts have
been determined by the Corporation using available market information and ap-
propriate valuation methodologies. Loan commitments are conditional and sub-
ject to market pricing and, therefore, do not reflect a gain or loss of market
value. The fair value of standby letters of credit is based on fees currently
charged for similar agreements or on estimated costs to terminate them or oth-
erwise settle the obligations with the counterparties at the reporting date.
However, considerable judgment is required to interpret market data to develop
the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are
not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Corporation could realize in a
current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or esti-
mation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value
amounts.
Cash and short-term investments. The nature of these instruments and their
relatively short maturities provide for the reporting of fair value equal to
the historical cost.
Investment securities. The fair value of investment securities is based on
quoted market prices.
Loans. The estimate of the fair value of the loan portfolio is estimated based
on present values using applicable spreads to the U.S. Treasury curve.
Loans held for sale. The fair value of loans held for sale is estimated based
on commitments into which individual loans will be delivered.
Deposits and borrowings. The fair value of all demand accounts is the amount
payable at the report date. For all other deposits and borrowings, the fair
value is determined using the discounted cash flow method. The discount rate
was equal to the rate currently offered on similar products.
Accrued interest. The carrying amount of accrued interest approximates fair
value.

NOTE 16: Business Segments
The Corporation operates in a decentralized fashion in two principal business
activities, retail banking and mortgage banking. Revenues from retail banking
operations consist primarily of interest earned on loans and investment secu-
rities. Mortgage banking operating revenues consist mainly of interest earned
on mortgage loans held for sale, gains on sales of loans in the secondary
mortgage market, and loan origination fee income. The Corporation also has an
investment company and a title company subsidiary which derive revenues from
brokerage and title insurance services. The results of these subsidiaries are
not significant to the Corporation as a whole and have been included in "Oth-
er." The following table presents segment information for the years ended De-
cember 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997.

The retail banking segment provides the mortgage banking segment with the
funds needed to originate mortgage loans through a warehouse line of credit
and charges the mortgage banking segment interest at the daily FHLB advance
rate plus 50 basis points. 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 and other segments.

The Board of Directors and Shareholders C&F Financial Corporation
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of C&F Financial
Corporation and Subsidiary as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related
consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash
flows for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Corporation's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of C&F
Financial Corporation and Subsidiary as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended December
31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
