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 March 31, 1996,  the results of operations
for the  three-month  periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995,  and cash flows for
the three-month periods ended March 31, 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  statement include the account 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.

of 16.5% over the first  quarter of 1995.  Earning  per share were $.33 and $.39
for March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
         Profitability  as measured by the  Company's  return on average  assets
(ROA)  was 1.20% for the first  quarter  of 1996,  down from  1.85% for the same
period of 1995.  Another key  indicator  of  performance,  the return on average
equity  (ROE) for March 31,  1996 was  9.14%,  compared  to 11.94% for March 31,
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 first quarter of 1996 was $2.5 million,  up
$241,000,  or 10.8%  from  $2.2  million  for March 31,  1995.  Interest  income
increased $810,000, or 22.7%, while interest expense increased $569,000,  42.9%,
in comparing March 31, 1996 to the same period of 1995.

Non-Interest Income

         The  Company's  principal  sources of  non-interest  income are service
charges and fees on deposit accounts, particularly transaction accounts, and the
income from the sale of loans. Non-interest income increased $618,000, or 242.4%
in the first quarter of 1996 over March 31, 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 $426,000

                                       6




for the first quarter of 1996.  Other  service  charges,  commissions,  and fees
increase $181,000 or 323.2% comparing March 31, 1996 to the same period of 1995.
This increase is  attributed  to merchant  bank card income,  which is offset by
other expenses  relating to merchant bank card services,  title  insurance fees,
and  investment  services  income.  The Company  continuously  seeks  additional
sources of non-interest income.

Non-Interest Expense

          Noninterest  expense  increased $1.1 million,  or 84.1%,  in the first
quarter of 1996 over March 31, 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 the 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 $846,000,  or
117.3% when  comparing the first  quarter 1996 to the same period of 1995.  Also
related to the recent growth occupancy  expenses  increased  $205,000,  or 95.8%
when comparing to the same period of the prior year.

Income Taxes

         Applicable  income  taxes on first  quarter 1996  earnings  amounted to
$138,000, compared to $287,000 for the same period of 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 risk 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.

                                       7




         The Company had no provision  expense for the first  quarter of 1996 or
1995.  Loans  charged off  amounted to $2,000 for the first  quarter of 1996 and
$1,000 for the same  period of 1995.  Recoveries  amounted to $1,000 and $20,000
for  March 31,  1996 and 1995,  respectively.  The ratio of net  charge-offs  to
average  outstanding  loans  was  .002%  compared  to  .001%  for  the  periods.
Management  felt that the reserve was  adequate to absorb any losses on existing
loans which may become uncollectible.

Nonperforming Assets

         Total nonperforming  assets,  which consist of the Company's nonaccrual
loans was  $542,000 at March 31,  1996,  a decrease  of $758,000  from March 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 the end of the first  quarter of 1996,  the Company had total assets
of $252.5 million, up 5.6% over year-end. When comparing March 31, 1996 to March
31, 1995 an increase of 33.0% is  reflected.  The asset growth is  attributed to
the overall expansion and growth of Company during 1995 and the first quarter of
1996.

                                       8




Loan Portfolio

         At March 31, 1996,  loans,  net of unearned income and reserve for loan
losses, totaled $117.7 million, an increase of 7.0% over the 1995 year-end total
of 110.0 million.  Net loans increase 19.7% when comparing March 31, 1996 to the
same period of 1995.
         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 March 31,  1996,  total  investment  securities  were $90.3  million
compared  to $100.6  and  $73.1  for  December  31,  1995 and  March  31,  1995,
respectively.  Securities of U.S. Government agencies and corporations represent
47.8% of the total  securities  portfolio,  obligations  of state and  political
subdivisions were 38.9%, U.S.  Treasury  securities were 8.3%,  investment-grade
corporate bonds totaled .3% and preferred stocks were 4.7% at March 31, 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.

                                       9




         Deposits  totaled  $215.6  million  at March 31,  1996,  this  reflects
increases  of 5.7% over  year-end  1995 and 37.0% over March 31,  1995.  Deposit
growth was attributed to the  acquisition of the  Middlesex,  Tappahannock,  and
West Point bank branches,  and opening of the Varina bank branch,  and growth of
deposits at existing bank branch locations.

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,  investment 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 March 31, 1996,  cash,  securities  classified as available for sale
and federal funds sold were 14.3% of total earning assets  compared to 11.6% and
11.9% at December 31, 1995 and March 31, 1995, respectively.  Asset liquidity is
also provided by managing the investment maturities.
         Addition  resources of liquidity  available to the Company  include its
subsidiary  Bank's  capacity to borrow  additional  funds through an established
line of credit  with a regional  correspondent  bank and the  Federal  Home Loan
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 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 24.6% at March 31,  1996,  compared to
23.87% at December 31, 1995. The total capital ratio was 22.5% at March 31, 1996
compared  to 25.12% at  December  31,  1995.  These  ratios are in excess of the
mandated minimum requirement of 4% and 8%, respectively.

                                       10




      Shareholders' equity reached $32.0 million at the end of the first quarter
of 1996  compared to $31.8  million and $29.7  million at December  31, 1995 and
March 31,  1995,  respectively.  The leverage  ratio  consists of Tier I capital
divided by quarterly average assets.  At March 31, 1996, the Company's  leverage
ratio was 11.3%  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.  As management
intends to sell 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.

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.
