            Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
                              September 30, 2001


1.   ACCOUNTING POLICIES
     -------------------

      The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Union
      Bankshares Corporation and its subsidiaries (the "Company"). Significant
      intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
      consolidation.

      The information contained in the financial statements is unaudited and
      does not include all of the information and footnotes required by
      generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
      statements. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments
      (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair
      presentation of the results of the interim periods presented have been
      made. Operating results for the three and nine month period ended
      September 30, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may
      be expected for the year ending December 31, 2001.

      These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
      consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the
      Company's 2000 Annual Report. Certain previously reported amounts have
      been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.


2.   ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

     The following summarizes activity in the allowance for loan losses for the
     nine months ended September 30, (in thousands):

3.  EARNINGS PER SHARE
    ------------------

    Basic earnings per share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income by the
    weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS
    is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
    during the period, including the effect of dilutive potential common shares
    outstanding attributable to stock options. At September 30, 2001 stock
    options representing 74,140 shares were anti-dilutive and were not
    considered in the computation of EPS. The following is a reconcilment of the
    denominators of the basic and diluted EPS computations for the quarter and
    nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000.

4.   SEGMENT REPORTING DISCLOSURES
     -----------------------------

     Union Bankshares Corporation has two reportable segments: traditional full
     service community banking and mortgage loan origination. The community bank
     segment includes four banks which provide loan, deposit, investment, and
     trust services to retail and commercial customers throughout their
     locations in Virginia. The mortgage segment provides a variety of mortgage
     loan products principally in Virginia and Maryland. These loans are
     originated and sold primarily in the secondary market through purchase
     commitments from investors, which subject the Company to only de minimis
     risk.

     Profit and loss is measured by net income after taxes. The accounting
     policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the
     summary of significant accounting policies of the Company. Intersegment
     transactions are recorded at cost and eliminated as part of the
     consolidation process.

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

     The community bank segment provides the mortgage segment with the short
     term funds needed to originate mortgage loans through a warehouse line of
     credit and charges the mortgage banking segment interest at the 3 month
     LIBOR rate. These transactions are eliminated to reach consolidated totals.
     A management fee for back room support services is charged to all
     subsidiaries and eliminated in the consolidation totals.

     Information about reportable segments and reconciliation of such
     information to the consolidated financial statements for the three months
     and nine months as of September 30, 2001 and 2000 follows:

5.   RECENT ACCOUNTING STATEMENTS
     ----------------------------

     In January 2001, the Company implemented the Statement of Financial
     Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
     and Hedging Activities", which establishes accounting and reporting
     standards for derivative instruments and for hedging activities. As part of
     the implementation, the Company reclassified its remaining held to maturity
     investments to available for sale. As of January 1, 2001, $5,465,000 held
     to maturity investments converted to available for sale. The effect of this
     reclassification was not considered material.

     In July, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued two
     statements- Statement 141, Business Combinations, and Statement 142,
     Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which will potentially impact the
     accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets. Statement 141
     eliminates the pooling method of accounting for business combinations and
     requires that intangible assets that meet certain criteria be reported
     separately from goodwill. Statement 142 eliminates the amortization of
     goodwill and other intangibles that are determined to have an indefinite
     life. The Statement requires, at a minimum, annual impairment tests for
     goodwill and other intangible assets that are determined to have an
     indefinite life.

     Upon adoption of these Statements, an organization is required to re-
     evaluate goodwill and other intangible assets that arose from business
     combinations entered into before July 1, 2001. If the recorded other
     intangible assets do not meet the criteria for recognition, they should be
     classified as goodwill. Similarly, if there are other intangible assets
     that meet the criteria for recognition but were not separately recorded
     from goodwill, they should be reclassified from goodwill. An organization
     also must reassess the useful lives of intangible assets and adjust the
     remaining amortization periods accordingly.

     The standards generally are required to be implemented by the Company in
     its 2002 financial statements. The adoption of these standards is not
     equaled to have a material impact on the financial statements.


6.   PURCHASES AND ACQUISITIONS

     On August 6, 2001, the Company's subsidiary, Northern Neck State Bank,
     signed an agreement with C & F Financial Corporation to purchase its
     Tappahannock Branch office. The transaction includes approximately $16
     million in deposits and $3.0 million in loans. The purchase, which has
     received regulatory approval closed November 9, 2001, and will enhance our
     accessibility and service to the local community. As part of this
     transaction, the Company plans to close its existing branch and combine
     these operations with the newly acquired branch on or about January 4,
     2002.

                                       10


7.   STOCK REPURCHASE

     The Company has an existing authorization from the board of directors of
     Union Bankshares to buy up to 100,000 shares of the Company's outstanding
     common stock in the open market at prices that management and the board of
     directors determine are prudent. The Company will consider current market
     conditions and the Company's current capital level, in addition to other
     factors, when deciding whether to repurchase stock.

     During the first nine months of 2001 the Company repurchased 31,250 shares
     of its common stock in the open market at an average price of $15.52 per
     share. During the first nine months of 2000 the Company repurchased 11,300
     shares of its common stock in the open market at an average price of $12.50
     per share.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

     Net income for the third quarter of 2001 was $3.0 million, up from $1.9
million for the same period in 2000. This increase was principally the result of
significant improvement in the mortgage segment's performance with net income of
$342,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 compared to a loss of $312,000
in the comparable quarter of last year.  In addition, the community banking
segment increased earnings $486,000 or 22% over the prior year's third quarter.
Diluted earnings per share amounted to $.40 in the third quarter of 2001, as
compared to $.25 in the same quarter of 2000.  The Company's annualized return
on average assets for the three months ended September 30, 2001 was 1.30% as
compared to .87% a year ago. The Company's annualized return on average equity
totaled 13.88% and 10.42% for the three months ended September 30, 2001 and
2000, respectively.

     Net income from the Company's community banks segment increased from $2.2
million in the third quarter of 2000 to over $2.7 million in the comparable
quarter of 2001.  Loan growth slowed, but deposit growth continued steady,
funding  the paydown of certain higher cost debt.  The improved performance of
acquired and denovo banks and branches as well as the continued impact of
previously implemented initiatives to consolidate backoffice functions are
reflected in the improved operating efficiencies and higher profitability of the
community banking segment.

                                       12


     The mortgage banking segment continues to reflect last year's effort by
management to return it to profitability.  Strategic changes to consolidate
operations and close unprofitable offices, combined with a favorable interest
rate environment in the current year contributed to this segment's turnaround.
The Company is continuing to make adjustments (including increases in commission
loan officers) to increase the production volumes and improve operating
efficiencies of this segment of our business.  While mortgage rates remain
attractive, the weakening economic environment and general uncertainty felt by
investors could influence production over the next several quarters.

     The atrocities of September 11th aggravated an already recessionary
environment, creating uncertainty in the economy. Despite the interest rate cuts
by the Federal Reserve, loan demand has continued to slow. Uncertainty in the
stock market has prompted many investors to seek safer returns, resulting in
increased bank deposits. Deposit growth was steady in the third quarter at 6.5%
from the December 31, 2000 balance and 2.3% from the end of June 2001, while
loans only grew 2.6% from year end 2000 and 1.4% from second quarter ending
balances. The repricing of a significant volume of high rate certificates of
deposit has reduced interest expense and improved the net interest margin.
Although some additional improvement is expected in the fourth quarter,
competition for loans and deposits is expected to compress the net interest
margin.

Net income for the nine months ended September 30,  2001 was $8.6 million, up
from $5.2 million for the same period in 2000. This increase was principally the
result of significant improvement in the mortgage segment's performance with net
income of $759,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to a
loss of $1.3 million for the same period last year.  In addition, the community
banking segment reported a $1.4 million increase in earnings or 21.0% over the
prior year.   Diluted earnings per share amounted to $1.14 in the first nine
months of 2001, as compared to $.69 for the same period of 2000.  The Company's
annualized return on average assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2001
was 1.27% as compared to .81% a year ago. The Company's annualized return on
average equity totaled 13.73% and 9.93% for the nine months ended September 30,
2001 and 2000, respectively.


Net Interest Income

     Net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis for the third quarter of 2001
increased by 7.1% to $9.1 million from $8.5 million for the same period a year
ago.  Over that time, average interest earning assets grew by 6.2% and average
interest bearing liabilities increased by 4.0%.  The interest income increase is
largely attributable to a decline of $620,000 in interest-bearing liability
costs compared to the prior year third quarter.  Most of this decrease was in
the other borrowings reflecting the paying down of debt and the refinancing of
debt at lower rates.  The interest rate spread was up slightly at 3.49% for the
third quarter compared to 3.47% last year. This reflects a slightly higher
decline in the cost of liabilities versus the income off earning assets.  Slow
loan growth has resulted in the Company investing the in flow of deposits in
lower yielding federal funds and short term investments. It is anticipated that
scheduled maturities and repricing of certificates will continue in the next
quarter which will further lower the funding costs.  Anticipated additional
interest rate cuts will place more pressure on the margin as assets will reprice
sooner than deposits.

     In addition, the subsidiary banks have periodically engaged in wholesale
leverage transactions to better leverage their capital position by borrowing
funds to invest in securities at margins of 150 to 200 basis points. Although
such transactions increase net income and return on equity, they reduce the net
interest margin. As of September 30, 2001 such transactions accounted for $10
million of the Company's total borrowings.

     Average earning assets during the third quarter of 2001 increased by $50.2
million to $866.5 million from the third quarter of 2000, while average
interest-bearing liabilities grew by $28.4 million to $734.0 million over this
same period.  In the third quarter 2001, interest-bearing deposits grew $42.0
million while other borrowings declined $13.7 million compared to the same
quarter in 2000.

     Included in the earning assets is $9.4 million of growth in loans held for
sale.  These loans are mortgage loans originated by the mortgage segment and
held for the short period between closing with the customer and funding by the
investor. While this spread provides a positive contribution to interest income
and net income, it reduces the net interest margin as they are funded at more
narrow, short term spreads. These loans ultimately generate most of their
earnings in the noninterest category through gains on sales of loans.

     The Company's yield on average earning assets was 7.86%, down 51 basis
points from 8.37% a year ago, while its cost of average interest-bearing
liabilities decreased 54 basis points from 4.91% in the third quarter 2000 to
4.37% in the comparable quarter of 2001.

Provision for Loan Losses

     The provision for loan losses totaled $455,000 for the third quarter of
2001, down from $522,000 for the third quarter of 2000. For the first nine
months of 2001, the provision was $1,280,000 versus $1,667,000 for the same
period in 2000. These provisions reflect the performance of the loan portfolio
and management's assessment of the credit risk in the portfolio. (See Asset
Quality)


Noninterest Income

     Noninterest income for the three months ended September 30, 2001 totaled
$4.1 million, up from $3.2 million for the same period a year ago. Gains on
sales of loans in the mortgage banking segment comprised much of this
improvement, increasing $864,000 over the same period in 2000. Service charges
on deposit accounts decreased $52,000 reflecting a lower volume of overdraft and
return check charges. Other service charges and fees increased $91,000,
reflecting increases in brokerage commissions, debit card income, exchange fees,
letter of credit fees and ATM surcharges. Other operating income increased
$29,000 over the prior year, reflecting income from the bank owned life
insurance (BOLI) purchased in the fourth quarter of 2000. Management continues
to seek additional sources of noninterest income, including increased emphasis
on cross-selling services and better leveraging the financial services available
throughout the organization.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense in the third quarter of 2001 totaled $8.1 million, a
decrease of $250,000 over the same period in 2000.  Personnel costs were up
$17,000 over last year's third quarter.  Commission costs were up from increased
mortgage loan production (reflecting management's push to production oriented
remuneration), but salaries and other benefit categories were down. Occupancy
expense was down $23,000 largely as a result of a $32,000 decrease in rental
expense and furniture & equipment expense was down $30,000 largely from a
decline in equipment maintenance contracts. Other operating expenses were down
$214,000 over last year's third quarter.  The decreases are primarily the result
of mortgage branch consolidation and closings and expense controls in the
mortgage operation.  The community banks segment is up only slightly for the
quarter, reflecting realization of cost savings and consolidation efficiencies.


Financial Condition
- -------------------

     Total assets as of September 30, 2001 were $933.6 million, an increase of
5.9% from $882.0 million at December 31, 2000. Loans totaled $596.0 million at
September 30, 2001, an increase of 2.6% from $580.8 million at December 31,
2000. The securities portfolio increased to $231.9 million in the first nine
months of 2001 versus $215.8 at year end 2000. Loans held for sale increased
$10.9 million compared to the December 31, 2000 balance due to the increase in
mortgage activity. Federal funds sold increased by $15.5 million to $15.9
million on September 30, 2001. Stockholders' equity totaled $89.7 million at
September 30, 2001, which represents a book value of $11.93 per share.

                                       17


     Total deposits at September 30, 2001 were $737.4 million, up 6.5% from
$692.5 million at December 31, 2000. Other borrowings totaled $100.7 million at
September 30, 2001, a 4.2% decrease over $105.1 million at year end 2000. The
other borrowings change is the result of a $11.4 million increase in securities
sold under agreement to repurchase (principally with customers). This was offset
by a $5.0 million decrease in other short-term borrowings and a $10.8 million
decrease in long-term borrowings. These changes reflect our effort to
restructure debt to lower cost alternatives.

     Continued competition for deposits, particularly as it impacts certificate
of deposit rates, is reflected in the deposit mix. Management continues to focus
on increasing lower cost deposit products, including noninterest-bearing demand
deposits and savings accounts and effective management of competitive rates on
interest sensitive products. Increased competition for both loans and deposits
is expected to continue to contribute to a narrowing of the net interest margin.

Asset Quality
- -------------

     The allowance for loan losses is an estimate of an amount adequate to
absorb potential losses inherent in the loan portfolio. General economic trends,
as well as conditions affecting individual borrowers, affect the level of credit
losses. Management's determination of the adequacy of the allowance is based on
an evaluation of the composition of the loan portfolio, the value and adequacy
of the collateral, current economic conditions, historical loan loss experience,
and other risk factors. The allowance is also subject to regulatory examinations
and determination as to adequacy, which may take into account such factors as
the methodology used to calculate the allowance and comparison to peer groups.
Management believes the allowance is adequate at this time and will continue to
make adjustments as the changing economy and portfolio performance warrant.

     The allowance for loan losses totaled $7.5 million at September 30, 2001 or
1.25% of total loans, as compared to 1.27% at December 31, 2000 and 1.35% at
September 30, 2000.

Capital Resources
- -----------------

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

     The Federal Reserve, along with the Comptroller of the Currency and the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, has adopted capital guidelines to
supplement the existing definitions of capital for regulatory purposes and to
establish minimum capital standards.  Specifically, the guidelines categorize
assets and off-balance sheet items into four risk-weighted categories.  The
minimum ratio of qualifying total assets is 8.0%, of which 4.0% must be Tier 1
capital, consisting of common equity and retained earnings, less certain
goodwill items.

     At September 30, 2001, the Company's ratio of total capital to risk-
weighted assets was 12.74% and its ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted
assets was 11.65%. Both ratios exceed the flly phased-in capital requirements.
The following summarizes the Company's regulatory capital and related ratios at
September 30, 2001 (dollars in thousands):


     Tier 1 capital                             $ 79,692
     Tier 2 capital                                7,473
     Total risk-based capital                     87,165
     Total risk-weighted assets                  683,947

     Capital Ratios:
         Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio           11.65%
         Total risk-based capital ratio            12.74%
         Leverage ratio (Tier 1 capital to
            average adjusted total assets)          8.67%
         Equity to assets ratio                     9.60%

     The Company's book value per share at September 30, 2001 was $11.93.
Dividends to stockholders are typically paid semi-annually in June and December.

Liquidity
- ---------

     Liquidity represents an institution's ability to meet present and future
financial obligations through either the sale or maturity of existing assets or
the acquisition of additional funds through liability management.  Liquid assets
include cash, interest-bearing deposits with banks, federal funds sold,
securities available for sale and loans maturing within one year.  The Company's
ability to obtain deposits and purchase funds at favorable rates determines its
liability liquidity.  Additional sources of liquidity available to the Company
include its capacity to borrow additional funds when necessary through Federal
funds lines with several regional banks and a line of credit with the Federal
Home Loan Bank.  Management considers the

                                       19


Company's overall liquidity to be sufficient to satisfy its depositors'
requirements and to meet its customers' credit needs.

     At September 30, 2001 cash, interest-bearing deposits in other banks,
federal funds sold, securities available for sale and loans maturing or
repricing in one year were 42.1% of total earning assets. At September 30, 2001
approximately $300.7 million or 48.3% of total loans are scheduled to mature or
reprice within the next year. In addition to deposits, the Company utilizes
Federal funds purchased, FHLB advances, securities sold under agreements to
repurchase and customer repurchase agreements, to fund the growth in its loan
portfolio, securities purchases, and periodically, wholesale leverage
transactions.

ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in the fair
value of financial instruments due to changes in interest rates, exchange rates
and equity prices.  The Company's market risk is composed primarily of interest
rate risk.  The Company's Asset and Liability Management Committee (ALCO) is
responsible for reviewing the interest rate sensitivity position and
establishing policies to monitor and limit exposure to this risk.  The Board of
Directors reviews the guidelines established by ALCO.

     Interest rate risk is monitored through the use of three complimentary
modeling tools: static gap analysis, earnings simulation modeling, and economic
value simulation (net present value estimation). Each of these models measure
changes in a variety of interest rate scenarios.  While each of the interest
rate risk measures has limitations, taken together they represent a reasonably
comprehensive view of the magnitude of interest rate risk in the Company, the
distribution of risk along the yield curve, the level of risk through time, and
the amount of exposure to changes in certain interest rate relationships.
Static gap which measures aggregate repricing values is less utilized since it
does not effectively measure the earnings impact on the Company and is not
addressed here.  But earnings simulation and economic value models which more
effectively measure the earnings impact are utilized by management on a regular
basis and are explained below.

Earnings Simulation Analysis

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

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

     The following table represents the interest rate sensitivity on net income
for the Company using different rate scenarios as of:


                              September 30, 2001   September 30, 2000
                                  % Change in          % Change in
       Change in Prime Rate       Net Income           Net Income
       --------------------       -------------------------------
         +200 basis points          +14.68%               -1.74%
         Flat                            0                    0
         -200 basis points          -14.16%               +2.00%

                                       21


Based on this model, in September 2001, the company is positioned to benefit
from a rising rate environment and be hurt by a falling rate environment.

Economic Value Simulation

     Economic value simulation is used to calculate the estimated fair value of
assets and liabilities over different interest rate environments.  Economic
values are calculated based on discounted cash flow analysis.  The net economic
value is the economic value of all assets minus the economic value of all
liabilities.  The change in net economic value over different rate environments
is an indication of the longer term repricing risk in the balance sheet.  The
same assumptions are used in the economic value simulation as in the earnings
simulation.

     The following chart reflects the change in net market value over different
rate environments as of September 30:
