NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1

       In the opinion of C&F Financial Corporation's management, the
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, necessary to present
fairly the financial position as of September 30, 1996, the results of
operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1996
and 1995, and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 1996 and
1995.

       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, 1995.

       The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

       The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its subsidiaries, with all significant intercompany transactions and
accounts being eliminated in consolidation.

       The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 2

       Net income per share has been calculated on the basis of the weighted
average number of shares outstanding for the applicable periods. Weighted
average number of shares was 2,232,844 and 2,230,744 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995, 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 16.1% for the nine month period ended September
30, 1996 compared to the same period of 1995. Net income for the nine month
period ended September 30, 1996 reached $2,934,000 compared to $2,528,000
reached for the same period of 1995. Earnings per share were $1.31 for the nine
month period, up 15.9% from $1.13 per share for nine month ended September 30,
1995. Net income increased 13.6% for the third quarter of 1996 compared to the
third quarter of 1995. Net income for the third quarter of 1996 is $1,069,000
compared to $941,000 for the same period of 1995. Earnings per share were $.48
for the third quarter, up 14.3% from $.42 per share for September 30, 1995.

         Profitability as measured by the Company's annualized return on average
assets (ROA) declined at 1.56% for the nine month period ended September 30,
1996, down from 1.67% for the same period of 1995. Another key indicator of
performance, the annualized return on average equity (ROE) for the nine month

month period ended September 30, 1995.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Interest Income

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

         Net interest income for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996
was $7.80 million, up $1,070,000, or 15.9% from $6.73 million for the nine month
period ended September 30, 1995. Interest income increased $2.20 million, or
19.4%, while interest expense increased $1.13 million, 24.4%, in comparing the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 to the same period of 1995.

         Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 1996 was
$2.71 million, up $361,000, or 15.3% from $2.35 million for the same three
months of 1995. Interest income increased $467,000, or 11.2%, while interest
expense increased $106,000, or 5.8% in comparing the third quarter of 1996 to
the same period of 1995.

         The net interest increase shown when comparing September 30, 1996 to
the same period of 1995 is a result of a greater increase in earning assets than
interest-bearing liabilities during 1996. The largest increase in earning assets
is reflected in the net loan category.

Noninterest Income

         Non-interest income increased $3.2 million, or 382.7% for the nine
month period ended September 30, 1996 over the same period of 1995. Non-interest
income increased $1.2 million, or 396.8% when comparing three months ended
September 30, 1996 to the same period of 1995. The majority of this increase is
attributed to income generated from the sale of mortgage loans by C&F Mortgage
Corporation, a subsidiary of the Company. C&F Mortgage Corporation began
originating and selling residential mortgages on December 1, 1995. Income from
the sale of loans was $2.7 million for the first nine months of 1996. Other
service charges, commissions, and fees increased $477,000, or 233.8% comparing
September 30, 1996 year-to-date to the same period of 1995. This increase shows
steady growth in other sources of non-interest income, including title insurance
fees from C&F Title Agency, Inc. and income generated from C&F Investment
Services, Inc.

Noninterest Expense

         Non-interest expense increased $3.9 million, or 91.9%, for the nine
month period ended September 30, 1996 over the same period of 1995. A similar
increase of 87.8% is reflected when comparing the three month period ended
September 30, 1996 to the same period of 1995. The increase in non-interest
expense when comparing the two periods is attributed to overall growth of the
Company. In April, 1995 the subsidiary C&F Investment Services, Inc. was
organized to offer full-service brokerage services, and the Company opened a
Citizens and Farmers Bank branch in Varina, Virginia. In June, 1995 the Bank
acquired two additional branches in Middlesex and Tappahannock, Virginia. C&F
Mortgage Corporation, a subsidiary of Bank, was organized in September, and
opened for business on December 1, 1995, to originate and sell residential
mortgages. In February, 1996 the deposit liabilities of a West Point, Virginia
branch were acquired. The growth of the Company increased salaries and employee
benefits by $2.9 million, or 127.1% when comparing the first nine months of 1996
to the same period of 1995. Also, related to the recent growth, occupancy
expenses increased $576,000, or 80.4% when comparing September 30, 1996
year-to-date to September 30, 1995.

Income Taxes

         Income tax expense for the period ended  September 30, 1996  amounted
to $681,000,  compared to $774,000 for September 30, 1995.

Asset Quality-Allowance /Provision For Loan Losses

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

        The Company had no provision expense for the first nine months of 1996
or 1995. Loans charged off amounted to $12,000 in the nine month period ended
September 30, 1996 and $8,000 for the same period of 1995. Recoveries amounted
to $8,000 and $25,000 in the nine month period ended September 30, 1996 and
1995, respectively. The ratio of net charge-offs to average outstanding loans
was .003% for September 30, 1996. The allowance for loan losses was $1.9 million
at September 30, 1996 and September 30, 1995. The allowance approximates 1.4%
and 1.8% of total loans outstanding at September 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. Management felt that the reserve was adequate to absorb any losses
on existing loans which may become uncollectible.

Nonperforming Assets

         Total non-performing assets, which consist of the Company's non-accrual
loans was $501,000 at September 30, 1996, a decrease of $406,000 from December
31, 1995. Despite the fact that the Company has more non-performing loans than
desired, management believes that losses will be minimal. It is expected that
non-accruing loans will continue to be reduced in 1996.

         The Company places a loan on non-accrual status when management
believes, after considering economic and business conditions and collection
efforts, that the borrower's financial condition is such that collection of both
principal and interact is doubtful. Corporate policy is to place loans on
non-accrual status if principal or interest is past due for 90 days or more
unless the debt is both well secured and in the process of being collected.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Summary

         A financial institution's primary sources of revenue are generated by
its earning assets, while its major expenses are produced by the funding of
those assets with interest-bearing liabilities. Effective management of these
sources and uses of funds is essential in attaining a financial institution's
maximum profitability while maintaining a minimum amount of risk.

         At September 30, 1996, the Company had total assets of $252.3 million,
up 5.5% from $239.1 million over year-end 1995. The asset growth is attributed
to the continuous expansion and growth of the Company.

Loan Portfolio

         At September 30, 1996, loans held for sale amounted to $9.8 million, an
increase over the $1.9 million held at December 31, 1995. In December of 1995,
C&F Mortgage Corporation was newly formed and had not had time to originate many
loans. At September 30, 1996, the Bank's loans net of unearned income and
reserve for loan losses, totals $131.6 million, an increase of 19.6% over the
1995 year-end total of $110.0 million.

         The Company's lending activities are a principal source of income. All
loans are attributable to domestic operations. Residential real estate loans,
both construction and permanent, represent the major portion of the Company's
loan portfolio.

Investment Securities

         The investment securities portfolio plays a primary role in the
management of interest rate sensitivity of the Company and generates substantial
interest income. In addition, the portfolio serves as a source of liquidity and
is used as needed to meet collateral requirements.

         The securities portfolio consists of two components, investment
securities held to maturity and securities available for sale. Securities are
classified as investment securities based on management's intent and the
Company's ability, at the time of purchase, to hold such securities to maturity.
These securities are carried at amortized cost. Securities which may be sold in
response to changes in market interest rates, changes in the securities'
prepayment risk, increases in loan demand, general liquidity needs, and other
similar factors are classified as available for sale and are carried at
estimated fair value.

         At September 30, 1996, total investment securities were $87.1 million
compared to $100.6 for December 31, 1995. This decrease is a result of
securities not being reinvested as they mature. Securities of U.S. Government
agencies and corporations represent 47.4% of the total securities portfolio,
obligations of state and political subdivisions were 43.9%, U.S. Treasury
securities were 3.4%, investment-grade corporate bonds totaled .3% and preferred
stocks were 5% at September 30, 1996.

Deposits

         The Company's predominate source of funds is depository accounts. The
Company's deposit base is comprised of demand deposits, savings and money market
accounts, and time deposits. The Company's deposits are provided by individuals
and businesses located within the communities served.

         Deposits totaled $208.6 million at September 30, 1996 compared to
$204.0 at December 31, 1995. The Company assumed deposit liabilities of $7.8
million in a branch acquisition in February 1996. Not including the acquisition
deposits, the Company shows a decrease in deposits of $3.2 million or 1.6%.

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, 1996, cash, securities classified as available for
sale and interest-bearing deposits were 8.1% of total earning assets. Asset
liquidity is also provided by managing the investment maturities.

         Additional resources 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 assessment of capital adequacy depends on a number of factors such as
asset quality, liquidity, earnings performance, and changing competitive
conditions and economic forces. The adequacy of the Company's capital is
reviewed by management on an ongoing basis. Management seeks to maintain a
capital structure that will assure an adequate level of capital to support
anticipated asset growth and to absorb potential losses.

      The Company's capital position continues to exceed regulatory
requirements. The primary indicators relied on by bank regulators in measuring
the capital position are the Tier I capital, total risk-based capital, and
leverage ratios. Tier I capital consist of common and qualifying preferred
shareholders' equity less goodwill. Total capital consist of Tier I risk-based
capital, qualifying subordinated debt, and a portion of the allowance for loan
losses. Risk-based capital ratios are calculated with reference to risk-weighted
assets. The Company's Tier I capital ratio was 22.86% at September 30, 1996,
compared to 23.87% at December 31, 1995. The total risk-based capital ratio was
24.11% at September 30, 1996 compared to 25.12% at December 31, 1995. These
ratios are in excess of the mandated minimum requirements.

      Shareholders' equity reached $33.4 million at the end of the third quarter
of 1996 compared to $31.8 million at December 31, 1995. The leverage ratio
consists of Tier I capital divided by quarterly average assets. At September 31,
1996, the Company's leverage ratio was 12.2% compared to 12.4% at December 31,
1995. Each of these exceeds the required minimum leverage ratio of 3%. The
leverage ratio declined primarily due to asset growth outpacing shareholders'
equity growth.

New Accounting Pronouncements

      SFAS No. 121 was issued in March, 1995, and requires that long-lived
assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used by an entity are
to be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. This
pronouncement was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995,
and its adoption has had no material effect on the Company's financial
statements.

      SFAS No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights", was effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. This pronouncement specifies
how mortgage banking enterprises are to recognize rights to service mortgage
loans for others, however those servicing rights are acquired. The Company sells
substantially all loans originated by its mortgage corporation, the adoption of
this pronouncement has had no material effect on the Company's financial
statements.

      In October, 1995, SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation",
was issued and effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995.
SFAS No. 123 requires expanded disclosures of stock-based compensation
arrangements with employees and encourages (but does not require) compensation
cost to be measured based on the fair value of the equity instrument awarded.
Companies are permitted, however, to continue to apply APB Opinion No. 25, which
recognizes compensation cost based on the intrinsic value of the equity
instrument awarded. Management will continue to apply APB Opinion No. 25 to its
stock based compensation awards to employees. The adoption of SFAS No. 123 has
had no material effect on the Company's financial statements.

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.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

total of 119,803 shares of Company common stock from three shareholders in three
independently negotiated transactions at a price of $17.75 per share, below the
present trading price. Management believes this was a unique opportunity to
reduce the outstanding common stock of the Company at a price per share that is
favorable to remaining shareholders. As a result, the Company had a total of
2,113,041 shares of common stock outstanding as of October 31, 1996.
