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 March 31,  2000,  the results of
operations  for the three months  ended March 31, 2000 and 1999,  and cash flows
for the three months  ended March 31, 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 C&F
Financial  Corporation's  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.

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 3,678,010 and 3,861,910
for the three months ended March 31, 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.
       During February and March of 2000 the Company repurchased 3,000 shares of
its common  stock in the open  market at prices  between  $14.625 and $16.50 per
share. During March of 1999 the Company repurchased 235,000 shares of its common
stock from six  shareholders  at prices  between  $19.88 and $20.00 per share in
privately negotiated transactions.

Note 4

       On April 10,  2000  Citizens  and Farmers  Bank  opened its tenth  branch
office at 1167 Jamestown Road in the City of Williamsburg, Virginia.

Note 5

       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

                                       6
<PAGE>

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 March 31, 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 for the three  months  ended March 31,  2000 was  $1,369,000
compared to $2,146,000  for the same period of 1999.  Earnings per diluted share
were $.37 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to $.56 per diluted
share for the same period of 1999. Included in earnings for the first quarter of
1999 was $370,000 in interest income (after taxes)  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 23% and earnings per
share decreased 17% over the first quarter of 1999.
         Profitability,  as  measured  by the  Company's  annualized  return  on
average  assets  (ROA),  decreased to 1.73% for the three months ended March 31,
2000,  down from 2.80% for the same  period of 1999.  Another key  indicator  of
performance,  the annualized return on average equity (ROE) for the three months
ended March 31, 2000 was 15.45%,  compared to 23.75% for the three  months ended
March 31, 1999.  Excluding the one-time interest income mentioned above, ROA and
ROE was 2.32% and 19.66%,  respectively,  for the three  months  ended March 31,
1999.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Interest Income

         Net interest  income for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was $3.7
million,  an increase of $404,000,  or 1.2%,  from $3.3  million,  excluding the
one-time  interest income of approximately  $560,000 before taxes, for the three
months ended March 31, 1999. The increase in net interest  income is a result of
an increase in the average balance of interest  earning assets to $297.9 million
for the three  months  ended March 31, 2000  compared to $289.1  million for the
same  period in 1999 and an  increase  in the net  interest  margin on a taxable
equivalent  basis to 5.43% for the three  months ended March 31, 1999 from 4.98%
for the same period 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 and an increase in the
average  balance of  investment  securities  offset by a decrease in the average
balance of loans held for sale by C&F  Mortgage  Corporation  and a decrease  in
interest bearing deposits in other institutions. 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 increase in the average balance
of the  securities  portfolio and the decrease in interest  bearing  balances in
other  institutions  was a result of excess  funds that were  deposited in other
institutions  being invested in loans and securities during the second and third
quarters  of 1999.  During the fourth  quarter of 1998 and the first  quarter of
1999 interest  rates were at the lowest levels in years.  As a result,  numerous
securities  were called and the excess cash was  deposited  in interest  bearing
accounts the Federal Home Loan Bank. As rates began to rise in 1999,  funds that
were not being invested in loans were reinvested in securities.

         The decrease in loans held for sale is a result of decreased production
at C&F Mortgage due to  increasing  interest  rates during the first  quarter of
2000. Loans closed at C&F Mortgage  Corporation for the three months ended March
31, 2000 were $58,420,000  compared to $116,374,000 for the comparable period in
1999. Loans sold during the first quarter of 2000 were  $70,322,000  compared to
$156,999,000 for the first quarter of 1999

         The  increase  in  the  Company's  net  interest  margin  on a  taxable
equivalent  basis to 5.43% for the first three months of 2000 from 4.98% for the
same period in 1999 was a result of an increase in the yield on interest earning
assets to 8.73% for the first  quarter of 2000 from 8.07% for the same period in
1999.  The cost of funds for the first  quarter of 2000 was flat compared to the
first quarter of 1999. The increase in the yield on interest  earning assets was
a result of an  increase  in the yield on loans held by the Bank,  a decrease in
the  average  balance  of lower  yielding  loans  held for sale at C&F  Mortgage
Corporation and a decrease in the  significantly  lower yielding deposits at the
Federal Home Loan Bank. The increase in the yield on loans held by the Bank is a
result of the rising interest rate environment

         The cost of funds  for the  Company  remained  relatively  flat for the
first  quarter of 2000  compared to the first quarter of 1999. A decrease in the
cost of deposits for the first  quarter of 2000 was offset by an increase in the
cost of  borrowings  from the FHLB.  The  decrease in the cost of  deposits  was
mainly a  result  of the  increase  in the  average  balance  of lower  yielding
interest  checking  accounts as a percentage of total average  interest  bearing
deposits.  The  increase in the cost of  borrowings  was a result of higher cost
funds from the FHLB resulting from the rising interest rate environment

Non-Interest Income

         Non-interest income decreased $1,110,000,  or 35%, for the three months
ended March 31, 1999 from the same period of 1998. The majority of this decrease
was a result of a  $1,091,000  decrease  in the gain on sale of loans due to the
decrease in volume of loans sold by C&F Mortgage Corporation.  Loans sold during
the first quarter of 2000 amounted to $70,322,000  compared to $156,999,000  for
the first quarter of 1999.

Non-Interest Expense

         Non-interest  expense  increased  $114,000,  or 3%, for the three month
period  ended  March 31,  2000 from the same  period in 1999.  This  increase is
mainly  attributable to an additional branch office at the Bank, the creation of
Citizens and Commerce  Bank,  a division of the Bank,  in the fourth  quarter of
1999 and the  overall  growth in the  Company  offset by a decrease  in salaries
expense at C&F Mortgage Corporation.

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

         To date the  Corporation  has expensed  $150,000  related with the Year

Income Taxes

         Applicable  income taxes on earnings for the first three months of 2000
amounted to $396,000  resulting  in an effective  tax rate of 22.4%  compared to
$899,000,  or 29.5%,  for the same period in 1999. The decrease in the effective
tax rate for the quarter is a result of the  increase in earnings  subject to no
taxes,  such as certain loans to  municipalities  or investment  obligations  of
state and political subdivisions, as a percentage of total income. This increase
is primarily a result of the decrease in income at C&F Mortgage Corporation.


Asset Quality-Allowance /Provision For Loan Losses

         The Company had $75,000 in provision expense for the first three months
of 2000  compared to $175,000  for the same  period in 1999.  Loans  charged off
amounted to $12,000 for the three  months  ended March 31, 1999 and $300 for the
same  period of 1999.  Recoveries  amounted  to $700 and  $16,000  for the three
months  ended  March 31, 2000 and 1999,  respectively.  The  allowance  for loan
losses was $3.4  million  and $3.3  million at March 31, 2000 and  December  31,
1999,  respectively.  The allowance  approximates 1.54% and 1.60% of total loans
outstanding  at March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999,  respectively.  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 were $73,000 at March 31, 2000 compared to $49,000 at December 31, 1999.


FINANCIAL CONDITION

Summary

         At March 31,  2000,  the  Company  had total  assets of $322.1  million
compared to $329.2 million at December 31, 1999.

Loan Portfolio

         At March  31,  2000,  loans  held for sale  amounted  to $12.9  million
compared to $24.9 million at December 31, 1999. The decrease in the balance from
December 31, 1999 is a result of a decrease in originations from $84,000,000 for
the fourth  quarter of 1999 to  $58,000,000  for the first quarter of 2000.  The
decrease  in  originations  for the  first  quarter  of 2000 is a  result  of an
increase  in  interest  rates for the first  quarter of 2000 as  compared to the
fourth quarter of 1999.

Investment Securities

         At March 31, 2000, total investment securities were $65,033,000 million
compared to  $64,999,000  at December 31, 1999.  Securities  of U.S.  Government
agencies  and  corporations  represent  20% of the total  securities  portfolio,
obligations  of  state  and  political  subdivisions  were  70%,  U.S.  Treasury
securities were 2%, and preferred stocks were 8% at March 31, 2000.

Deposits

         Deposits  totaled  $264.5  million at March 31, 2000 compared to $260.9
million at December  31,  1999.  Non-interest  bearing  deposits  totaled  $33.7
million at March 31, 2000 compared to $34.8 million at December 31, 1999.

Liquidity

         At March 31, 2000,  cash,  securities  classified as available for sale
and  interest-bearing  deposits  were  13.9%  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 and through an established
line with the Federal Home Loan Bank.

Capital Resources

      The Company's Tier I capital ratio was 14.4% at March 31, 2000 compared to
14.0% at December  31, 1999.  The total  risk-based  capital  ratio was 15.6% at
March 31, 1999  compared  to 15.2% at December  31,  1999.  These  ratios are in
excess of the mandated minimum requirements.  The increase in the Tier I capital
ratio and the  total  risked  based  capital  ratio was a result of the  current
quarter's earnings.
      Shareholders'  equity was $36.1 million at the end of the first 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 March 31, 2000, the
Company's  leverage ratio was 11.4% compared to 11.3% at December 31, 1999. Each
of these exceeds the required  minimum leverage ratio of 4%. The increase in the
leverage ratio is a result of the current quarter's earnings.

New Accounting Pronouncements

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

Effects of Inflation

      The effect of  changing  prices in  financial  institutions  is  typically
different from other industries because 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.
