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, 2000, the
results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 and
1999, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 have
been made.  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-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.

   The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of C&F Financial
Corporation ("the Company") and its subsidiary, Citizens and Farmers Bank ("the
Bank") with all significant intercompany transactions and accounts being
eliminated in consolidation.

   Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period balances to conform
to the current year presentation.

Note 2

   Net income per share assuming dilution has been calculated on the basis of
the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock
equivalents outstanding for the applicable periods.  Weighted average number of
shares of common stock and common stock equivalents was 3,621,786 and 3,694,020
for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and
3,650,749 and 3,751,449 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999,
respectively.

Note 3

   During the first quarter of 2000 the board of directors of C&F Financial
Corporation authorized management to buy up to 10% 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.

Note 4

   The Company 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
securities.  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 Company also has an
investment company and a title company subsidiary which derive revenues from
brokerage and title insurance services, respectively.  The results of these
subsidiaries are not significant to the Company as a whole and have been
included in "Other."  The following table presents segment information for the
periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999.

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.

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 decreased 8.5% to $1,615,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 compared to $1,765,000 for the same period of 1999. Earnings
per share were $.45 for the three month period, down 6.3% from $.48 per share
for the three months ended September 30, 1999.  Net income for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000 was $4,382,000 compared to $5,545,000 for the same
period of 1999.  Included in earnings for the first nine months of 1999 was
$370,000 in interest income (after taxes) which was collected in February 1999
resulting from the payoff of a non-accrual loan which had been on the Bank's
books for the past several years.  Excluding this interest income, net income
decreased 15.3% and earnings per share decreased 13.0% over the nine months
ended September 30, 1999.

     Profitability as measured by the Company's annualized return on average
assets (ROA) was 1.91% for the three months ended September 30, 2000 compared to
2.29% for the same period of 1999.  For the first nine months of 2000 ROA was
1.78% compared to 2.25%, excluding the one-time interest income, for the first
nine months of 1999.  Another key indicator of performance, the annualized
return on average equity (ROE) for the three months ended September 30, 2000 was
17.45% compared to 20.22% for the three months ended September 30, 1999.  For
the first nine months of 2000 ROE was 16.16% compared to 19.66%, excluding the
one-time interest income, for the first nine months of 1999.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Interest Income

     Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2000 was $3.8
million, an increase of $170,000, or 5%, from $3.7 million for the three months
ended September 30, 1999.  The increase in net interest income is a result of an
increase in the average balance of interest earning assets to $319.4 million for
the three months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $291.0 million for the
same period in 1999 offset by a decrease in the net interest margin on a taxable
equivalent basis to 5.23% for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 from 5.50%
for the same quarter in 1999.

     The increase in average earning assets is a result of the increase in the
average balance of loans held in the Bank's portfolio offset by a decrease in
the average balance of loans held for sale by C&F Mortgage Corporation.  The
increase in the Bank's loan portfolio is a result of increased loan demand
resulting from an increased emphasis on commercial and consumer lending.  The
decrease in loans held for sale is a result of decreased production at C&F
Mortgage Corporation due to increasing interest rates during the first half of
2000.  Loans closed at C&F Mortgage Corporation for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 were $80,474,000 compared to $114,472,000 for the comparable
period in 1999.  Loans sold during the third quarter of 2000 were $80,420,000
compared to $129,770,000 for the third quarter of 1999.

                                       9
<PAGE>

     The decrease in the company's net interest margin on a taxable equivalent
basis for the three months ended September 2000 compared to the same period in
1999 was a result of an increase in the yield on interest earning assets to
8.99% for the third quarter of 2000 from 8.61% for the same period in 1999
offset by an increase in the cost of funds to 4.52% for the third quarter of
2000 compared to 3.89% for the same period in 1999.  The increase in the yield
on interest earning assets is a result of an increase in the yield on loans held
by the Bank and a decrease in the average balance of lower yielding loans held
for sale at C&F Mortgage Corporation.  The increase in the yield on loans held
by the Bank is a result of the rising interest rate environment.  The increase
in the cost of funds is a result of an increase in rates paid on certificates of
deposit and an increase in the rates paid and average balance of higher cost
borrowings from the FHLB.  The increase in the average balance of borrowings
from the FHLB is a result of loan growth outpacing deposit growth.

     Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 was $11.3
million, an increase of $951,000, or 9.2%, from $10.3 million, excluding the
one-time interest income of approximately $560,000 before taxes, for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999.  The increase in net interest income is a
result of an increase in the average balance of interest earning assets and an
increase in the net interest margin on a taxable equivalent basis to 5.31% for
the nine months ended September 30, 2000 from 5.21% for the first nine months of
1999.

     The average balance of interest earning assets increased $19.7 million to
$308.6 million for the first nine months of 2000 from $288.9 million for the
first nine months of 1999.  The increase in average earning assets is a result
of an increase in the average balance of the Bank's loan portfolio and
securities portfolio offset by a decrease in the average balance of loans held
for sale by C&F Mortgage Corporation and a decrease in the average balance in
interest earning deposits in other banks and fed funds sold.  The increase in
the Bank's loan portfolio is the result of increased loan demand.

     The decrease in loans held for sale is a result of decreased production at
C&F Mortgage Corporation due to increasing interest rates during the first half
of 2000.  Loans closed at C&F Mortgage Corporation for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 were $222,654,000 compared to $371,742,000 for the comparable
period in 1999.  Loans sold during the nine months ended September 30 of 2000
were $226,443,000 compared to $415,393,000 for the nine months ended September
30 1999.  The decrease in the average balance in interest earning deposits in
other banks and fed funds sold is the result of those funds being invested in
higher yielding loans.

     The increase in the company's net interest margin on a taxable equivalent
basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to the same period
in 1999 was a result of an increase in the yield on interest earning assets to
8.83% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 from 8.30% for the same
period in 1999 offset by an increase in the cost of funds to 4.22% for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000 compared to 3.90% for the same period in 1999.
The increase in the yield on interest earning assets is a result of an increase
in the yield on loans held by the Bank offset by a decrease in the average
balance of lower yielding loans held for sale at C&F Mortgage Corporation, a
decrease in the significantly lower yielding deposits at the Federal Home Loan
Bank (FHLB) and a small decrease in the yield on the securities portfolio.  The
increase in the yield on loans held by the Bank is a result of the rising
interest rate environment.  The decrease in the yield on the securities
portfolio is a result of the fact that the investments that were purchased
during 1999 yielded less than those securities which were called during 1999.
The increase in the cost of funds is a result of an increase in rates paid on
certificates of deposit and an increase in the rates paid and average balance of
higher cost borrowings from the FHLB.  The increase in the average balance of
borrowings from the FHLB is a result of loan growth outpacing deposit growth.

Non-Interest Income

     Other operating income decreased $411,000, or 14.6%, to $2,407,000 for the
third quarter of 2000 from $2,818,000 for the third quarter of 1999.  Other
operating income decreased $2,178,000, or 24.6%, to $6,656,000 for the first
nine months of 2000 from $8,834,000 for the first nine months of 1999.  The
decrease in other income is mainly attributed to a decrease in gain on sale of
loans and other fees resulting from decrease in volume of loans originated and
sold by C&F Mortgage Corporation.

Non-Interest Expense

     Other operating expenses increased $25,000, or 0.6%, to $4,014,000 for the
third quarter of 2000 from $3,989,000 for the third quarter of 1999.  Other
operating expenses increased $180,000, or 1.5%, to $11,961,000 for the first
nine months of 2000 from $11,781,000 for the first nine months of 1999.  This
increase is mainly attributable to a increase in occupancy and other expenses
relating to an additional branch office at the Bank during the first half of
2000, the creation of Citizens and Commerce Bank, a division of the Bank, in the
fourth quarter of 1999 and the overall growth of the Bank offset by a decrease
in salaries expense and other operating expenses at C&F Mortgage Corporation
resulting from the decrease in origination of loans due to the higher interest
rate environment.

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
computer 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
fail or create erroneous results.  All computer programs and systems at the
Company operated without problems when the date changed from December 31, 1999
to January 2000.  While the Company will continue to monitor computer programs
and systems, no problems are expected.

     The Company, to date, has expensed $150,000 related to the Year 2000 issue.
Remaining expenditures are not expected to have a material effect on the
Company's consolidated financial statements.

Income Taxes

     Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2000 amounted
to $532,000, resulting in an effective tax rate of 24.8% compared to $619,000,
or 25.9%, for the three months ended September 30, 1999.  Income tax expense for
the nine months ended September 30, 2000 amounted to $1,349,000, resulting in an
effective tax rate of 23.5% compared to $2,048,000, or 26.9%, for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999.  The decrease in the effective tax rate for the
quarter and for the nine months is a result of the increase in earnings subject
to no taxes, such as loans to municipalities or investment obligations of state
and political subdivisions, as a percentage of total income.  This increase in
earnings subject to no taxes as a percentage of total income is primarily a
result of the decrease in income at C&F Mortgage Corporation.

Asset Quality-Allowance /Provision For Loan Losses

     The Company had $250,000 in provision expense for the first nine months of
2000 and $355,000 for the first nine months of 1999.  Loans charged off amounted
to $56,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and $26,000 for the same
period in 1999.  Recoveries amounted to $6,000 and $18,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.  The allowance for loan losses
was $3.5 million at September 30, 2000 and $3.3 million at December 31, 1999.
The allowance approximates 1.48% and 1.57% of total loans outstanding at
September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999.  Management feels that the reserve is
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 and other real estate owned was $593,000 at September 30, 2000 compared to
$49,000 at December 31, 1999.  The increase in non-performing assets was mainly
a result of a lending relationship with a builder being put on nonaccrual
status.  The Company is closely monitoring this relationship and does not
anticipate a significant loss.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Summary

     At September 30, 2000, the Company had total assets of $353.5 million
compared to $329.2 million at December 31, 1999.

Interest-Bearing Deposits in Other Banks and Fed Funds

     At September 30, 2000, interest-bearing deposits in other banks and fed
funds amounted to $9,929,000 compared to $2,062,000 at December 31, 1999.  This
increase is a result of balances on deposit with the FHLB being unusually high
at the end of September.

Loan Portfolio

     At September 30, 2000, loans held for sale amounted to $21.1 million
compared to $24.9 million held at December 31, 1999.

compared to $64.999,000 for December 31, 1999.  Securities of U.S. Government
agencies and corporations represent 19.8% of the total securities portfolio,

     Deposits totaled $282.1 million at September 30, 2000 compared to $260.9 at
December 31, 1999.  Non-interest bearing deposits totaled $42.3 million at
September 30, 2000 compared to $34.8 million at December 31, 1999.  The increase
in deposits is a result of the addition the new Williamsburg branch in April of

in November of 1999 as well as the overall growth of the existing branches.

and interest-bearing deposits were 13.3% of total earning assets.  Asset

Capital Resources

   The Company's Tier I capital ratio was 13.9% at September 30, 2000 compared
to 14.0% at December 31, 1999.  The total risk-based capital ratio was 15.1% at
September 30, 2000 compared to 15.2% at December 31, 1999.  These ratios are in
excess of the mandated minimum requirements.  The decrease in the Tier I capital
ratio and the total risked based capital ratio was a result of the repurchase of
stock throughout the year and the increase in total assets.

   Shareholders' equity was $37.5 million at the end of the third quarter of
2000 compared to $35.1 million at December 31, 1999.  The leverage ratio
consists of Tier I capital divided by quarterly average assets.  At September
30, 2000, the Company's leverage ratio was 11.0% compared to 11.3% at December
31, 1999.  Each of these exceeds the required minimum leverage ratio of 4%.  The
decrease in the leverage ratio is a result of the repurchase of stock throughout
the year and the increase in total assets.

New Accounting Pronouncements

   There have been no significant pronouncements since the December 31, 1999 10K
was filed.

Effects of Inflation

   The effect of changing prices on 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.
