NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not
include all of the disclosures and notes required by generally accepted
accounting principles. In the opinion of C&F Financial Corporation's management,
all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, necessary to
present fairly the financial position as of September 30, 1997, the results of
operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, and
cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996. The results of
operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results
to be expected for the full year.
These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the C&F
Financial Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1996.
Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to agree with the
current presentation.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its subsidiary, with all significant intercompany transactions and accounts
being eliminated in consolidation.
Note 2

three months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively and 1,992,214 and
2,232,844 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATION
The following discussion supplements and provides information about the
major components of the results of operations and financial condition, liquidity
and capital resources of C&F Financial Corporation (the "Company"). This
discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated
Financial Statements, and supplemental financial data.
Overview
Net income increased 24.8% to $1,334,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1997 compared to $1,069,000 for the same period of 1996. Earnings
per share were $.69 for the three month period, up 43.8% from $.48 per share for
the three months ended September 30, 1996. Net income for the first nine months
ended September 30, 1997 increased 27.2% to $3,731,000 compared to $2,934,000
for the same period of 1996. Earnings per share were $1.87 for the nine month
period, up 42.7% from $1.31 per share for the nine months ended September 30,
1996.
Profitability as measured by the Company's annualized return on average
assets (ROA) increased to 2.03% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, up
from 1.72% for the same period of 1996. For the first nine months of 1997, ROA
increased to 1.94%, up from 1.56% for the first nine months of 1996. Another key
indicator of performance, the annualized return on average equity (ROE) for the
three months ended September 30, 1997 was 17.84%, compared to 12.92% for the
three months ended September 30, 1996. For the first nine months of 1997, ROE
was 16.14% compared to 12.14% for the first nine months of 1996.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net Interest Income
Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 1997 was
$2,963,000, an increase of $249,000, or 9.2% from $2,714,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1996. The increase in net interest income is a result
of an increase in the average balance of interest earning assets to $246.1
million for the three months ended September 30, 1997 compared to $231.3 million
for the same period in 1996 and the increase in the Company's interest rate
spread on a taxable equivalent basis to 4.38% for the three months ended
September 30, 1997 from 4.33% for the same period in 1996. In addition, the
Company's net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis increased to 5.23% for
the three months ended September 30, 1997 from 5.17% for the same period in
1996. The increase in the Company's interest rate spread and net interest margin
was a result of the Company's continued effort in reallocating a portion of
lower yielding investments into higher yielding loans and the overall increase
in the loan portfolio, particularly in higher yielding commercial and consumer
loans. The average balance for loans increased to $172,392,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1997 compared to $138,679,000 for the same period in
1996, while the average balance for investments decreased to $72,720,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 1997 compared to $88,925,000 for the same
period in 1996.
Net interest income for the first nine months of 1997 was $8,679,000,
an increase of $876,000, or 11.2% from $7,803,000 for the first nine months of
1996. The increase in net interest income is a result of an increase in the
average balance of interest earning assets to $240.1 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 compared to $228.0 million for the same period in 1996
6
and the increase in the Company's interest rate spread on a taxable equivalent
basis to 4.45% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from 4.20% for the
same period in 1996. In addition, the Company's net interest margin on a tax
equivalent basis increased to 5.26% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997
from 5.03% for the same period in 1996. As was the case for the three months
ended September 30, 1997, the increase in the Company's interest rate spread and
net interest margin was a result of an increase in the average balance of loans
and a change in the overall mix of loans. The average balance for loans
increased to $161,005,000 for the first nine months of 1997 versus $133,716,000
for the first nine months of 1996. The average balance of investments decreased
to $77,609,000 for the first nine months of 1997 compared to $91,157,000 for the
first nine months of 1996.
Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income increased $663,000 or 50.3% for the three months
ended September 30, 1997 from the same period of 1996. Non-interest income for
the nine months ended September 30, 1997 increased $1,171,000, or 34.7% to
$4,545,000 from $3,374,000 for the same period in 1996. The majority of the
increase is a result of increased loan production at C&F Mortgage Corporation, a
subsidiary of the Bank. This increase is also a result of the Company's
continued effort to generate and increase other sources of non-interest income,
including fees generated from the sale of investments by C&F Investment
Services, Inc., a subsidiary of the Bank.
Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expense increased $377,000, or 14.1%, for the three month
period ended September 30, 1997 from the same period in 1996. Non-interest
expense increased $627,000, or 8.3% for the nine month period ended September
30, 1997 from the same period in 1996. These increases are mainly attributable
to increases in the volume of activity at C&F Mortgage Corporation.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 1997 amounted to
$484,000, compared to $289,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996.
Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 amounted to
$1,139,000 compared to $681,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996.
Asset Quality-Allowance /Provision For Loan Losses
The Company had $165,000 in provision expense for the first nine months
of 1997 compared to $0 for the same period in 1996. Loans charged off amounted
to $11,000 and $12,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. Recoveries amounted to $4,000 and $8,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The ratio of net charge-offs to
average outstanding loans was .004% for the nine months ended September 30,
1997. The allowance for loan losses was $2.1 million at September 30, 1997 and
$1.9 million at December 31, 1996. The allowance approximates 1.4% of total
loans outstanding at September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996. Management feels
that the reserve is adequate to absorb any losses on existing loans which may
become uncollectible.
7
Nonperforming Assets
Total non-performing assets, which consist of the Company's non-accrual
loans was $935,000 at September 30, 1997, an increase of $410,000 from December
31, 1996. This increase is a result of a $435,000 non-accrual single family
mortgage loan which is currently held by C&F Mortgage Corporation that was not
held at December 31, 1996. The loan is adequately collateralized and no
significant loss is anticipated.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Summary
At September 30, 1997, the Company had total assets of $268.5
million compared to $256.7 million at December 31, 1996.
Loan Portfolio
At September 30, 1997, loans held for sale amounted to $23.5 million,
an increase over the $12.3 million held at December 31, 1996. This increase is a
result of increased loan production at C&F Mortgage Corporation. At September
30, 1997, the Bank's loans net of unearned income and reserve for loan losses,
totals $151.4 million, an increase of 11% over the 1996 year-end total of $136.7
million.
The following table sets forth the composition of the Company's loans

============== ============
Investment Securities
At September 30, 1997, total investment securities were $73.2 million
compared to $85.6 for December 31, 1996. This decrease is a result of securities
not being fully reinvested as they are called or mature. Securities of U.S.
Government agencies and corporations represent 42.2% of the total securities
portfolio, obligations of state and political subdivisions were 47.7%, U.S.
Treasury securities were 4.1%, investment-grade corporate bonds totaled .4% and
preferred stocks were 5.6% at September 30, 1997.
8
Deposits
Deposits totaled $229.4 million at September 30, 1997 compared to
$216.4 at December 31, 1996. Non-interest bearing deposits totaled $37.3 million
at September 30, 1997 compared to $30.8 million at December 31, 1996.
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, investments and loans maturing within one year. The Company's ability to
obtain deposits and purchase funds at favorable rates determines its liability
liquidity. As a result of the Company's management of liquid assets and the
ability to generate liquidity through liability funding, management believes
that the Company maintains overall liquidity which is sufficient to satisfy its
depositors' requirements and to meet customers' credit needs.
At September 30, 1997, cash, securities classified as available for
sale and interest-bearing deposits were 11.9% of total earning assets. Asset
liquidity is also provided by managing the investment maturities.
Additional sources of liquidity available to the Company include its
subsidiary bank's capacity to borrow additional funds through an established
federal funds line with a regional correspondent bank.
Capital Resources
The Company's capital position continues to exceed regulatory
requirements. The Company's Tier I capital ratio was 14.1% at September 30, 1997
compared to 20.8% at December 31, 1996. The total risk-based capital ratio was
15.5% at September 30, 1997 compared to 22.1% at December 31, 1996. These ratios
are in excess of the mandated minimum requirements.
Shareholders' equity was $30.7 million at the end of the third quarter of
1997 compared to $32.2 million at December 31, 1996. The leverage ratio consists
of Tier I capital divided by average assets. At September 30, 1997, the
Company's leverage ratio was 11.1% compared to 12.2% at December 31, 1996. Each
of these exceeds the required minimum leverage ratio of 3%. The decrease in
shareholders' equity and all of the capital ratios is primarily a result of the
repurchase of 204,683 shares of the Company's common stock in April of 1997.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("FAS") No. 128, "Earnings per
Share." This new standard requires dual presentation of basic and diluted
earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the earnings statement and requires a
reconciliation of numerators and denominators of basic and diluted EPS
calculations. The statement is effective for financial statements for both
interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 1997. Early adoption of the
statement is not permitted. The Corporation has determined that the adoption of
this statement will not have a material impact on earnings per share.
In June 1997, the FASB issued FAS 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income"
and FAS 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information." FAS 130 requires that all items that are required to be recognized
under accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in
a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other
9
financial statements. This statement requires that an enterprise (a) classify
items of other comprehensive income by their nature in a financial statement and
(b) display the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income separately
from retained earnings and additional paid-in capital in the equity section of a
statement of financial position. This statement is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1997. This statement will require the Company to
report changes in unrealized gains or losses on securities available for sale as
part of comprehensive income.
FAS 131 requires that a public business enterprise report financial and
descriptive information about its reportable operating segments. It requires
that a public business enterprise report a measure of segment profit or loss,
certain specific revenue and expense items, and segment assets. This statement
is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. Management is
currently reviewing this statement to determine the impact it will have on the
Company.
Effects of Inflation
The effect of changing prices and financial institutions is typically
different from other industries as the Company'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. Impacts of inflation on interest rates, loan demands, and
deposits are reflected in the consolidated financial statements.

On November 7, 1997, C&F Financial Corporation dismissed Deloitte &
Touche LLP as its independent accountants. The Company's Audit Committee and
Board of Directors participated in and approved the decision to change
independent accountants.
The reports of Deloitte & Touche LLP on the financial statements for
the past two fiscal years contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion
and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting
principle.
In connection with its audits for the two most recent fiscal years and
through November 7, 1997, there have been no disagreements with Deloitte &
Touche LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial
statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements would
have caused them to make reference thereto in their report on the financial
statements for such years.
The Company has requested that Deloitte & Touche LLP furnish it with a
letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees with the above
statements. A copy of such letter, dated November 10, 1997, is filed as Exhibit
16 to this Form 10Q.
The Company engaged Yount, Hyde & Barbour, P.C. as its new independent
accountants as of November 7, 1997. During the two most recent fiscal years and
through November 7, 1997, the Company has not consulted with Yount, Hyde &
Barbour, P.C. on items which (1) were or should have been subject to SAS 50 or
(2) concerned the subject matter of a disagreement or reportable event with
Deloitte & Touche LLP.
