SUMMARY
This summary may not contain all of the information that may be important to
you. You should read carefully the entire prospectus, including "Risk Factors"
and the financial statements and related notes included in the prospectus,
before making an investment decision.
Valley Financial and Valley Bank
Valley Financial Corporation is a one-bank holding company headquartered in
Roanoke, Virginia. Our wholly owned subsidiary, Valley Bank, began operating as
a commercial bank in May 1995. Valley Bank operates four full service banking
offices in the greater Roanoke area and has recently acquired the site for its
fifth banking office in the Roanoke area from another bank. As of June 30, 2000
we had assets of $152.0 million, primary regulatory capital of $10.7 million,
and shareholders' equity of $9.7 million, and reported net income of $684,000,
or $0.68 per share, for the first half of 2000. We have grown substantially
since our formation and are continuing to experience rapid growth. For the
quarter ended June 30, 2000, our total assets increased by 23.9% and net income
increased 69.0% over the year-ago period.
Valley Financial owns and manages Valley Bank and does not engage in any
other business. Valley Bank offers a variety of banking products and services,
including an array of deposit products, consumer loans, commercial loans, and
home mortgages. Valley Bank also offers safe deposit boxes, certain cash
management services and automatic deposit services.
Our strategic plan is directed towards enhancing profitability and
shareholder value by increasing our market share in the Roanoke Valley market
area. We have historically succeeded in growing our market share by providing a
high level of personal service and targeting small- to medium- sized businesses,
professional firms and individuals.
Valley Bank's
Roanoke Valley Market Area
Valley Bank operates primarily in the Roanoke Valley area of southwest
Virginia. This area includes the City and County of Roanoke, the City of Salem
and parts of Montgomery, Bedford and Botetourt Counties. The Roanoke MSA, which
excludes Montgomery and Bedford counties, has an estimated population of 231,400
and is the regional and commercial center of southwest Virginia. Combined FDIC-
insured deposits in the Roanoke MSA were approximately $4.6 billion as of June
30, 1999 with approximately $3.1 billion residing in the City of Roanoke. More
than 85% of FDIC-insured deposits in the City of Roanoke were held at larger,
out-of-state institutions as of June 30, 1999. We believe this creates a
significant opportunity for a locally owned and managed institution like
ourselves to gain market share. While we have grown our share of the market
every year since inception, it is currently less than 3%, which we believe
provides us with a significant opportunity for future growth.
Experienced Management
The President and Chief Executive Officer of Valley Financial and Valley
Bank since June 1996 is Ellis L. Gutshall, who has 26 years' experience in
banking. Mr. Gutshall joined Valley Financial in 1995 as Senior Vice President
and Chief Lending Officer. Immediately prior to that, he was Executive Vice
President of First Virginia Bank - Southwest in Roanoke, Virginia.
A. Wayne Lewis has served as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating
Officer of Valley Financial and Valley Bank since formation. Mr. Lewis has more
than 38 years of banking experience, including having served as Executive Vice
President of Dominion Bankshares Corporation, a $10.6 billion financial
institution that was acquired by First Union Corporation in 1993.
Reasons for the Offering
We have grown rapidly since our formation and we now need additional equity
capital to support future growth. Since the end of 1997, our assets have more
than doubled to $152.0 million at June 30, 2000. We have strived to enhance
shareholder value by leveraging our existing capital, however, without
additional equity capital our ability to grow will be constrained. Our goal is
to leverage the capital from this offering in a manner that enhances future
earnings per share and shareholder value. We hope to expand operations
throughout the Roanoke Valley through additional branch offices and automated
teller machines. We also intend to make increased use of alternative delivery
systems such as the Internet and telephone. We believe a locally owned and
managed community bank like ours has the ability to take market share away from
our out-of-state competitors.

RISK FACTORS
You should consider carefully the following risk factors before deciding to
buy our common stock. These risk factors may adversely impact our business and
financial condition. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to
us, or risks that we currently consider immaterial, may also impair our
business. You should read this section together with the other information in
this prospectus.
We are still a young Valley Financial opened for business only five
company with a years ago. Although Valley Financial has grown very
limited operating rapidly and has earned a profit in the last three
history fiscal years (becoming profitable less than two years
after opening), we have a relatively short operating
history. There is no assurance that we will continue to
perform as well as we have in the past, and no
assurance that we will continue to earn a profit.
Growth may be Some of the growth of Valley Financial, and Valley
more difficult in Bank, has been the result of a backlash in the Roanoke
the future Valley against consolidation of the banking industry.
In the last few years, large out-of-state banks have
acquired local banks headquartered in and operating in
the Roanoke Valley. Many local customers felt that they
were not receiving the level of service that they had
in the past, which has provided an opportunity for a
small, service-orientated bank like Valley Bank. We
have taken full advantage of this in our marketing.
There can be no assurance that this backlash against
larger out-of-state banks will continue or that these
larger competitors will not begin to offer increased
levels of personal service. Accordingly, in the future
we may have to compete with larger banks head to head
on pricing as well as service. We may have to be more
aggressive both in terms of pricing and promoting our
deposits and loans, which could reduce our margins and
slow our growth in assets and in earnings.
Our small size is a Virtually all of our competitors operating in the
competitive Roanoke Valley are larger and have greater resources.
disadvantage The banking business has become extremely competitive,
and we compete with the following types of
institutions:
. Other banks
. Savings banks
. Thrifts
. Credit unions
. Consumer finance companies
. Securities brokerage firms
. Mortgage brokers
. Insurance companies
. Mutual funds
. Trust companies
Some of our competitors are not regulated as
extensively as we are and have greater flexibility in
competing for business. Many of our competitors have
advantages of established customer bases, higher legal
lending limits, extensive branch networks, numerous
automated teller machines in this market and throughout
the state and country, and other advantages. We intend
to compete primarily by offering customers personal
service and local decision-making, but we may also need
to compete in terms of rates charged on the products we
offer and this may be difficult due to our relatively
smaller size.
Our focus on We offer a variety of loan products, including
commercial loans residential mortgage, consumer, construction, and
may increase the commercial loans. Approximately 62% of Valley Bank's
risk of substantial loans are commercial loans, including those secured by
We expect as we grow, commercial mortgages. We expect as we grow, that this
credit losses percentage will remain about the same. Commercial
lending is more risky than mortgage and consumer
lending, because loan balances are greater, and the
borrower's ability to repay is contingent on the
success of his or her business. Risk of loan defaults
is unavoidable in the banking industry, and we try to
limit exposure to this risk by monitoring carefully
the amount of loans in specific industries and by
exercising prudent lending practices. However, we
cannot eliminate the risk, and substantial credit
losses could result in reduced earnings or losses.

The Roanoke market The Roanoke Valley has enjoyed steady but slow
has slow growth; an growth, growing more slowly than the other metropolitan
economic downturn areas of Virginia. Although we may expand to areas
would hurt adjacent to the Roanoke Valley, we do not intend to
performance expand outside of this general geographic area in the
foreseeable future. Any slowdown in growth or a local
or broader recession would hamper our ability to grow
and could hurt our performance. Although the Roanoke
area has a varied manufacturing and service base, it is
small enough that a regional economic downturn can be
caused by problems with only a few larger local
employers. See "Business- Market Area" on page 10.
We depend on Messrs. Ellis L. Gutshall is our President and Chief
Gutshall and Lewis, Executive Officer. A. Wayne Lewis is our Executive Vice
and they would be President and Chief Operating Officer. Both of these
difficult to replace individuals have many years of experience in the
banking industry and are extremely valuable to us and
would be difficult to replace. The loss of the services
of Mr. Guttshall or Mr. Lewis could have a material
adverse effect upon the future prospects of Valley
Financial and Valley Bank. While we do not carry key
man life insurance on our senior officers, we have
attempted to reduce our risk through employment
agreements and covenants not to compete. See
"Management - Employment Contracts, Termination and
Change-in-Control Agreements" on page 43.
Our profitability Our profitability depends in substantial part on
depends on interest our net interest margin, which is the difference
rates generally between the rates we receive on loans and investments
and the rates we pay for deposits and other sources of
funds. Our net interest margin depends on many factors
that are partly or completely outside of our control,
including competition, federal economic, monetary and
fiscal policies, and economic conditions generally.
Recently, net interest margins for some financial
institutions have changed in response to these and
other factors. Changes in interest rates will affect
our operating performance and financial condition. We
try to minimize our exposure to interest rate risk, but
we are unable to completely eliminate this risk.
Especially because of our relatively small size, more
aggressive competition could make it difficult for us
to attract deposits, which are necessary to fund loans
and other investments.

assurance that you stock. The public offering price for the shares will be

interest on that debt at a rate of 1.25% under the
prime rate. We may repay that debt early without
penalty. This debt qualifies as regulatory capital, so
using proceeds of the offering to satisfy this debt
will mean that $2.3 million of the offering proceeds
will not increase our regulatory capital. See "Valley

beginning on page 43 for a discussion of these matters.
Technology and Technology, including automated teller machines,
regulatory internet banking, telephone banking, and other recent
developments may developments, are changing the entire financial
impact our services industry. Similarly, changes in laws and
performance regulations have resulted in banks operating in new
markets, and in non-banks providing financial services.
Last year, the U.S. Congress passed the Gramm-Leach-
Bliley Financial Services Modernization Act, which
allowed combinations of banking, insurance and
securities companies. This year, the U.S. Congress is
considering other legislation that could further change
the way banks operate. In order to remain competitive
in today's fast-changing financial environment, we must
offer new technology-based products and services on a
continuing basis. Similarly, we must rapidly adjust to
changes in these laws and regulations. If we fail to
react quickly and appropriately to these developments
in technology and law, we may not be able to compete
successfully, which could have a material adverse
effect on our business growth and development.
We do not expect to We have never paid a cash dividend. On January 20,
pay any dividends 2000, we declared a 1.05 for 1.00 stock split on the
to shareholders for outstanding shares of our common stock, effected in the
the foreseeable form of a stock dividend. We can provide no assurance
future that we will pay cash or stock dividends in the future.
We expect to retain our earnings to support the
development and growth of our business. Our Board of
Directors will determine our future dividend policy
based on an analysis of factors that the Board deems
relevant. Our ability to pay dividends to our
shareholders is also limited by certain restrictions
imposed by state and federal laws. See "Dividend
Policy" beginning on page 8.
You will experience The offering price of our common stock in this
substantial offering will be higher than the book value per share
dilution in the of the outstanding common stock. Purchasers of the
book value of shares of common stock will experience immediate
shares of common dilution in the book value per share of their
stock immediately investment from the offering price. This dilution is
after the offering estimated to be $7.69 per share using the book value of
Valley Financial at June 30, 2000 of $9,734,000 and an
assumed offering price of $18.50 per share. See
"Dilution" on page 9 for further discussion of these
calculations.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We estimate that we will receive approximately $3,385,000 in net proceeds
from the sale of 200,000 shares of our common stock, assuming an offering price
of $18.50 per share and after deducting the estimated underwriting discount and
other offering expenses totaling $315,000. Approximately $2.3 million of the
net proceeds will be used to repay our subordinated debt. See "Valley
Financial's Subordinated Debt" on page 45. We will contribute a substantial
portion of the remaining net proceeds to Valley Bank and retain the balance in
Valley Financial. The net proceeds retained by Valley Financial will be used for
working capital and other general corporate purposes, including providing
additional contributions to Valley Bank's capital, as needed.
MARKET FOR COMMON STOCK
The common stock is quoted under the symbol "VYFC" on the OTC Bulletin
Board, an electronic quotation and trade reporting service of the National
Association of Securities Dealers. According to information obtained by company
management and believed to be reliable, the quarterly range of closing prices

Trading volume in our common stock is low. Since January 1, 2000, an
average of approximately 3,000 shares were traded each week. As of August 31,
2000, there were approximately 533 shareholders of record of our common stock
and approximately 975 beneficial holders.
DIVIDEND POLICY
We have not declared or paid cash dividends since our formation. For the
foreseeable future, we expect that we will retain our earnings to support the
development and growth of our business and will not pay any cash dividends to
shareholders. We may consider payment of dividends at some point in the future,
but declarations of dividends are at the discretion of the Board, and there is
no assurance that dividends will be declared at any time. We did declare a 1.05
to 1.00 stock split on January 20, 2000, which was effected in the form of a 5%
stock dividend payable on February 15, 2000 to shareholders of record on January
31, 2000.
If we decide to pay dividends at a future date, we will depend on dividends
received from Valley Bank to fund dividends on our common stock. As a banking
corporation organized under Virginia law, Valley Bank is restricted as to the
maximum amount of dividends it may pay to Valley Financial. A Virginia bank may
not pay dividends from its original capital. All dividends must be paid out of
net undivided profits on hand, after deducting expenses, losses, interest and
taxes accrued, and contribution to capital necessary for Valley Bank's original
capital to be restored to its initial level. As of August 31, 2000, the net
profits of Valley Bank available for distribution to Valley Financial as
dividends without regulatory approval were approximately $1.14 million.
As a practical matter, the Federal Reserve Board recommends that banking
organizations pay dividends only if the net income available to shareholders in
the past year fully funds those dividends and the expected rate of earnings
retention is consistent with capital needs, asset quality, and overall financial
condition. Valley Financial's dividend policy complies with this
recommendation.
CAPITALIZATION
The following table sets forth our consolidated capitalization at June 30,
2000 on an actual basis and as adjusted to reflect the receipt of $3,385,000 in
net proceeds from our sale of 200,000 shares of common stock at an assumed price
of $18.50 per share, assuming the underwriting discount and other offering
expenses total $315,000. The table assumes the sale of 50,000 shares of common
stock to Valley Financial's directors and 150,000 shares of common stock to the
public in this offering, but does not give effect to the possible exercise of
the underwriter's overallotment option.

DILUTION
Your investment will be immediately diluted because your purchase price per
share exceeds our net tangible book value per share. The net tangible book
value per share is determined by dividing our tangible net worth (tangible
assets less liabilities) by the total shares outstanding. Our net tangible book
value as of June 30, 2000 was $9,734,000 or $9.61 per share. The purchase price
per share in this offering will cause both an immediate dilution in net tangible
book value to new investors and an immediate increase in net tangible book value
to the existing shareholders of Valley Financial.
The following table illustrates this dilution per share assuming the sale
of 200,000 shares of common stock at an assumed offering price of $18.50 per
share, net of the estimated underwriting discount and other offering expenses
totaling $315,000. Of the 200,000 shares of common stock, 50,000 shares are
assumed to be sold to Valley Financial's directors and 150,000 shares to the
public. The table does not give effect to the possible exercise of the
underwriter's overallotment option.

BUSINESS
General
Valley Financial Corporation was incorporated in Virginia in 1994,
primarily to own all of the capital stock of Valley Bank. Valley Financial
presently engages in no business other than owning and managing Valley Bank.
Valley Bank is a state bank organized under Virginia law, and engages in the
business of commercial banking. Valley Bank opened for business on May 15,
1995. Its deposits are insured by the FDIC and it is a member of the Federal
Reserve System. As of June 30, 2000, we had total assets of $152.0 million, net
loans of $105.8 million, total deposits of $121.5 million, and shareholders'
equity of $9.7 million.
We presently operate four offices and plan to open a fifth in the first

Strategy
Our strategy is to enhance shareholder value by increasing net income
through continued loan growth, while controlling the cost of deposits and the
growth of non-interest expense. To achieve this goal, we plan to provide our
customers with products and services comparable to those offered by our
competitors and to continue to provide our customers with a high level of
personal service. We also intend to continue to expand our network of branches
and automated teller machines throughout the Roanoke Valley and to make
increased use of alternative delivery systems, such as the Internet and
telephone.
Market Area
Valley Bank's primary service area consists of the Roanoke Valley of
Virginia, including the cities of Roanoke and Salem and Roanoke County, and
portions of Botetourt, Bedford, and Montgomery County, Virginia. We conduct a
general commercial banking business, emphasizing the needs of small-to-medium
sized businesses, professional concerns and individuals.
The Roanoke Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) is the commercial center
for southwest Virginia, and is located approximately 165 miles west of Richmond,
Virginia, 178 miles northwest of Charlotte, North Carolina, 178 miles east of
Charleston, West Virginia and 222 miles southwest of Washington, D.C. Hollins
University and Roanoke College, with student enrollments of approximately 1,100
and 1,700, respectively, are located in the Roanoke MSA. Virginia Tech, with a
student body of some 25,000, and Radford University, with a student body of more
than 8,500, are each a 45-minute drive away.
The population in the Roanoke MSA was estimated at 231,400 at year-end
1999. The Roanoke MSA's recent growth has been slower than that in other key
Virginia markets. The Virginia Employment Commission reported that from 1995
through 1999 the number of jobs in the Roanoke MSA increased 3.4%, compared with
a 10.4% increase for the state as a whole. The Roanoke MSA had an unemployment
rate of 2.0% in June 2000, compared with 2.9% for Virginia and 4.2% nationally.
Over 6,500 businesses operated in the Roanoke MSA at year-end 1999. The
business community in the Roanoke MSA is diverse. The principal components of
the economy are retail trade, services, transportation, manufacturing, finance,
insurance and real estate. The Roanoke MSA's position as a regional center
creates a strong medical, legal and business professional community. Carilion
Health System, Lewis-Gale Hospital and the Veterans Administration Hospital are
among the area's largest employers. Other large employers include Norfolk
Southern Corporation, First Union Corporation, The Kroger Co., General Electric
Co., and American Electric Power.
Lending Services
Valley Bank offers a range of short-to-medium term commercial and personal
loans. Commercial loans include both secured and unsecured loans for working
capital (including inventory and receivables), business expansion (including
acquisition of real estate and improvements) and purchase of equipment and
machinery. Consumer loans include secured and unsecured loans for financing
automobiles, home improvements, education and personal investments. Valley Bank
also makes various types of real estate loans.
Our lending efforts are directed primarily to making loans to individuals
and businesses in our market area. We believe that our lending and credit
policies are conservative. As of June 30, 2000, we had approximately $106.9
million in loans and $29.0 million in unfunded loan commitments outstanding.
Valley Bank's lending activities are subject to a variety of lending limits
imposed by state law. While differing limits apply in certain circumstances
based on the type of loan or the nature of the borrower (including the
borrower's relationship to Valley Bank), in general Valley Bank is subject to a
loan-to-one borrower limit of 15% of Valley Bank's capital and surplus in the
case of loans which are not fully secured by readily marketable or other
permissible types of collateral. Valley Bank voluntarily may choose to impose a
policy limit on loans to a single borrower that is less than the legal lending
limit. Valley Bank's present legal lending limit is $1,725,000, which does
satisfy the credit needs of a large portion of its targeted market segment.
Valley Bank has established relationships with correspondent banks to
participate in loans when loan amounts exceed our legal lending limits or
internal lending policies.
10
<PAGE>
Valley Bank attempts to react to prevailing market conditions and demands
in our lending activities, while avoiding excessive concentration in any
particular loan category. We have fixed specific goals as to lending
concentration by type of loan. This mix of loans is intended to provide
sufficient diversification to balance the risks within the loan portfolio. We
manage the portfolio within the following ranges:
Real estate loans (commercial and residential) 40% to 80%
Commercial loans 25% to 50%
Consumer loans 10% to 25%
The risk of nonpayment of loans is inherent in all loans. However,
management carefully evaluates all loan applicants and attempts to minimize
credit risk-exposure with thorough loan application and approval procedures. In
determining whether to make a loan, Valley Bank lending personnel analyze the
borrower's income and ability to service the loan and credit history, and
evaluate the need for collateral to secure recovery in the event of default.
Valley Bank maintains an allowance for loan losses based upon management's
assumptions and judgments regarding the ultimate collectibility of loans in our
portfolio and based upon a percentage of the outstanding balances of specific
loans when their ultimate collectibility is considered questionable. Certain
risks with regard to specific categories of loans are described below.
Commercial Loans. Commercial lending activities are directed principally
toward businesses whose demand for funds will fall within Valley Bank's legal
lending limit. These businesses include small to medium-size professional
firms, retail and wholesale businesses, light industry and manufacturing
concerns operating in and around the primary service area. The types of loans
provided include term loans with fixed and variable interest rates and working
capital lines of credit with variable rates secured by equipment, inventory,
accounts receivable and commercial real estate. Valley Bank also offers to
commercial customers, through an affiliation with Private Business, Inc., an
automated accounts receivable-financing product designed to enhance a company's
cash flow.
Commercial business loans generally have a higher degree of risk than
residential mortgage loans, but have commensurately higher yields. To manage
these risks, Valley Bank generally secures appropriate collateral and monitors
the financial condition of its business borrowers. In addition, personal
guarantees are generally obtained from the principals of business borrowers
and/or third parties to further support the borrower's ability to service the
debt and reduce the risk of nonpayment. Residential mortgage loans generally
are made on the basis of the borrower's ability to make repayment from his
employment and other income and are secured by real estate whose value tends to
be easily ascertainable. In contrast, commercial business loans typically are
made on the basis of the borrower's ability to make repayment from cash flow
from its business and are secured by business assets. As a result, the
availability of funds for the repayment of commercial business loans may be
substantially dependent on the financial success of the business borrower
itself. Further, the collateral for commercial business loans may depreciate
over time and cannot be appraised with as much precision as residential real
estate.
Real Estate Loans. Real estate lending includes commercial and residential
development/construction loans, home improvement loans, home equity loans and
commercial and residential mortgage loans. Valley Bank also participates in the
origination of a limited number of fixed-rate residential mortgage loans that
are referred to mortgage brokers. Residential loans are secured by first
mortgages on one-to-four family residences in the primary service area. Home
improvement loans and home equity loans are generally secured by second
mortgages on single family residences in the primary service area. Commercial
mortgage loans are secured by first mortgages on commercial properties,
generally owner-occupied, in the primary service area.
The risk associated with residential mortgage lending varies based on
employment levels, consumer confidence, fluctuations in the value of real estate
and other conditions that affect the ability of borrowers to repay indebtedness.
Commercial real estate lending entails significant additional risk. Commercial
real estate loans typically involve larger loan balances concentrated with
single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. Additionally, the payment
experience on loans secured by income-producing properties is typically
dependent on the successful operation of a business or a real estate project and
thus may be subject, to a greater extent, to adverse conditions in the real
estate market or in the economy generally.
Consumer Loans. Consumer loans are made on a secured or unsecured basis
and are oriented primarily to the requirements of Valley Bank's customers, with
an emphasis on loans for automobiles, home improvements, debt consolidation and
other personal needs.
11
<PAGE>
Consumer loans may entail greater risk than do residential mortgage loans,
particularly in the case of consumer loans that are unsecured, such as lines of
credit, or secured by rapidly depreciable assets such as automobiles. In these
cases, any repossessed collateral for a defaulted consumer loan may not provide
an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance as a result of
the greater likelihood of damage, loss or depreciation. The remaining deficiency
often does not warrant further substantial collection efforts against the
borrower. In addition, consumer loan collections are dependent on the borrower's
continuing financial stability, and thus are more likely to be adversely
affected by job loss, divorce, illness or personal bankruptcy. Furthermore, the
application of various federal and state laws, including federal and state
bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount which can be recovered on
these loans.
Deposit Products and Other Banking Services
Valley Bank offers deposit products that are typically available in most
banks including checking accounts, NOW accounts, savings accounts, Individual
Retirement Accounts and other time deposits ranging from money market accounts
to longer-term certificates of deposit. The transaction accounts and time
deposits are tailored to our principal market area at rates competitive to those
offered in the area. All deposit accounts are insured by the FDIC up to the
maximum amount allowed by law (generally $100,000 per depositor, subject to
aggregation rules). Valley Bank solicits accounts from individuals, businesses,
associations and organizations and governmental authorities.
Other bank services include safe deposit boxes, cash management services,
travelers checks, direct deposit of payroll and social security checks, and
automatic drafts for various accounts. Valley Bank is associated with the Star,
Cirrus and The Exchange shared networks of automated teller machines that may be
used by bank customers throughout Virginia and other regions. Valley Bank also
offers VISA and MasterCard credit card services.
Valley Bank does not plan to exercise trust powers during the next several
years. Valley Bank may in the future offer a full-service trust department, but
cannot do so without the prior approval of its federal and state regulators.
Competition
Banking in the Roanoke Valley is highly competitive. Valley Bank competes
as a financial intermediary with other commercial banks, savings & loan
associations, credit unions, mortgage banking firms, consumer finance companies,
securities brokerage firms, insurance companies, money market mutual funds, and
other institutions operating in the Roanoke Valley and elsewhere.
Valley Bank's market area is a highly concentrated, highly branched banking
market. As of June 30, 2000 there were approximately 14 commercial banks and
savings associations operating approximately 100 offices in the Roanoke Valley.
The only locally owned and operated commercial banks are Valley Bank and Salem
Bank & Trust Company. SunTrust Bank is a part of the SunTrust family of banks,
with a regional presence based in Richmond, and First Virginia Bank-Southwest is
a subsidiary of a holding company headquartered in Falls Church, Virginia. Bank
of America, First Union National Bank, Wachovia Bank, First Citizens Bank and
BB&T Bank all are subsidiaries of holding companies headquartered in North
Carolina. In addition, four out-of-town Virginia based community banks, Bank of
Floyd, First National Exchange Bank, Bank of Botetourt, and The Bank of
Fincastle, have each opened one or more branches in our market area. Also,
numerous credit unions operate offices in the Roanoke Valley. Further, various
other financial companies, ranging from local to national firms, provide
financial services to residents of this market area.
We believe that Valley Bank will be able to compete effectively in this
market, and that the community will continue to respond to Valley Bank's
community bank focus and emphasis on service to small businesses, individuals
and professional concerns.
Employees
At June 30, 2000, Valley Bank had 45 full-time employees, including its
officers. Valley Financial does not have any regular employees other than its
officers. We believe that our employee relations are excellent.
Properties
Valley Bank leases approximately 13,750 square feet of recently-renovated
office space on the first three floors of a seven story office building in
downtown Roanoke for its main office. The lease expires December 31, 2004, with
options to renew for two additional five-year terms. Valley Bank owns its
Starkey Road office, a 2,700 square foot
12
<PAGE>
building constructed in 1995 on a one-acre site at 4467 Starkey Road in
southwest Roanoke County near Tanglewood Mall.
Valley Bank leases its South Roanoke office, a recently-renovated 914
square foot facility. That lease has an initial term of 12 years with one five-
year renewal option. We own the office located at 8 East Main Street in Salem.
That office is a newly-constructed Colonial Williamsburg style building with two
floors containing 6,000 square feet, of which we occupy the first story and
lease the second story. The structure is located on an approximately one-half
acre site near the center of the City of Salem.
In September of this year, we purchased from First Union National Bank for
$485,000 that bank's existing Hershberger Road branch office near Crossroads
Mall in Roanoke. We plan to remodel and equip the property at an additional
cost of about $265,000, and open for business in early 2001. In the opinion of
Valley Financial management, its properties are adequate for its current
operations and adequately covered by insurance.
Legal Proceedings
Neither Valley Bank nor Valley Financial is a party to any pending legal
proceeding or aware of any threatened legal proceeding where Valley Bank or
Valley Financial may be exposed to any material loss. From time to time in the
normal course of business Valley Bank files standard claims to collect loans.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion presents major components of Valley Financial's
business and presents an overview of its consolidated financial position at June
30, 2000, and December 31, 1999 and 1998 and its results of operations for the
six months ended June 30, 2000 and the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998.
The discussion should be read in conjunction with Valley Financial's
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, and other financial data
appearing elsewhere in this prospectus.
Valley Financial is not aware of any current recommendations by regulatory
authorities, which if implemented, would have a material effect on its
liquidity, capital resources or results of operations. Further, there are no
agreements between Valley Financial and the Federal Reserve, the Virginia State
Corporation Commission or the FDIC, nor has any regulatory agency made any
recommendations concerning the operations of Valley Financial that could have a
material effect on its liquidity, capital resources or results of operations.
Overview
Valley Financial was incorporated as a Virginia stock corporation on March
15, 1994 primarily to own and control all of the capital stock of Valley Bank.
Valley Bank opened for business on May 15, 1995. In July 1995, Valley Financial
completed its initial public offering of 964,040 shares (1,012,242 shares after
the effect of the 1.05 for 1.00 stock split effected in the form of a stock
dividend declared January 20, 2000) of its no par common stock at a price of
$10.00 per share. The offering resulted in gross proceeds to Valley Financial of
$9.64 million, reduced by $551,000 of direct stock issuance costs associated
with the offering, for net proceeds of $9.09 million. As of June 30, 2000 $9.00
million has been invested in Valley Bank as equity capital and the remainder
retained at the parent company for working capital needs.
Total assets at June 30, 2000 were $151.95 million, up $14.79 million or
11% from December 31, 1999. Total assets at December 31, 1999 were $137.16
million, up 30% from $105.19 million at December 31, 1998. The principal
components of Valley Financial's assets at June 30, 2000 were $34.91 million in
securities available-for-sale and $106.93 million in gross loans, representing
increases of 9% and 17%, respectively over their levels at December 31, 1999.
Securities available-for-sale and gross loans were $31.96 million and $91.39
million, respectively, at December 31, 1999.
Total liabilities were $142.22 million at June 30, 2000, up $14.12 million
or 11% from December 31, 1999. Total liabilities at December 31, 1999 were
$128.10 million, up from $96.03 million at December 31, 1998, an increase of
$32.07 million or 33%. The largest components of the increase in total
liabilities were a $2.30 million subordinated capital note finalized during the
second quarter of 2000, a second long-term FHLB advance in 1999 in the amount of
$5.00 million, and the introduction of an overnight repurchase agreement program
with appropriate commercial customers in 1999 that increased total liabilities
by $992,000. Total deposits at June 30, 2000 were $121.51 million, an increase
of $6.03 million or 5% over their level at December 31, 1999. As part of this
increase, Valley Bank's commercial sweep program grew $3.18 million during the
first six months of 2000. Total deposits at December 31, 1999 were $115.48
million, up $25.45 million or 28% from $90.03 million at December 31, 1998.
Total shareholders' equity at June 30, 2000 was $9.73 million. Exclusive of
the unrealized losses on securities available-for-sale, shareholders' equity was
$10.72 million at June 30, 2000. Total shareholders' equity at December 31, 1999
was $9.06 million, consisting of $9.09 million in net proceeds from Valley
Financial's initial public offering, $10,000 in proceeds from the exercise of
stock options, retained earnings of $934,000 and including $978,000 of
unrealized losses on securities available-for-sale, net of related deferred tax
benefit. Exclusive of the unrealized losses on securities available-for-sale,
shareholders' equity was $10.03 million at December 31, 1999. At December 31,
1998 total shareholders' equity was $8.99 million exclusive of unrealized losses
on securities available-for-sale. See "-- Investment Securities" on page 22 for
information on our investment portfolio.
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was $684,000, compared
with $414,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 1999. Valley Financial
had net income of $1.04 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 compared
with $758,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998. The substantial
improvement in profitability results from a substantial increase in loans
outstanding, an improved net interest margin and a substantial increase in
noninterest income, partially offset by increased noninterest expenses in all
major categories.
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2000, profitability as measured by
Valley Financial's annualized return on average assets ("ROA") was .97% and
annualized return on average equity ("ROE") was 13.22%. The ROA and ROE
14
<PAGE>
were .86% and 10.98% in 1999, respectively. The ROA and ROE ratios were .83% and
8.87% in 1998, respectively. The calculation of ROE excludes the effect of any
unrealized gains or losses on investment securities available-for-sale.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income is the amount by which interest and fees generated from
loans and investments exceeds the interest expense associated with funding those
assets, and represents the principal source of earnings for Valley Financial and
Valley Bank. 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. Changes in the interest
rate environment and Valley Financial's cost of funds also affect net interest
income.
Six months ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999
Net interest income was $2.70 million for the six months ended June 30,
2000 and is attributable to interest income from loans and securities exceeding
the cost of interest paid on deposits and borrowed funds. Net interest income
for the first half of 2000 increased 35% from $2.00 million for the same period
in 1999. The net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis was 4.14%
for the first six months of 2000, an increase of 20 basis points from the 3.94%
reported for the same period in 1999. Despite a rising interest rate environment
and fierce competition for deposits, Valley Financial has been successful in
increasing the net interest margin by offsetting cost of funds increases with
higher yields on loans and other earning assets.
Years ended December 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998
Net interest income was $4.33 million for 1999 and is attributable to
interest income from loans and securities exceeding the cost of interest paid on
deposits and borrowed funds. Net interest income increased $1.07 million or 33%
over the same period in 1998. Total interest income was $8.76 million for 1999
as compared to $6.77 million in 1998, an increase of $1.99 million or 29%. This
increase is attributable to Valley Bank's reinvestment of deposit growth into
loans and securities. The net interest margin was 3.92% for the year ended 1999
as compared to 3.86% for the year ended 1998. This increase in the net interest
margin for the year ended December 31, 1999 is largely attributable to
controlling deposit costs in relation to income generated on earning assets, as
the cost of funds ratio decreased 26 basis points from 4.28% in 1998 to 4.02% in
1999.
The following table presents the major categories of interest-earning
assets, interest-bearing liabilities and shareholders' equity with corresponding
average balances, related interest income or expense and resulting yields and
rates for the periods indicated.

As discussed above, Valley Financial's net interest income is affected by
the change in the amount and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities (referred to as "volume change") as well as by changes in yields
earned on interest-earning assets and rates paid on deposits and borrowed funds
(referred to as "rate change"). The following tables present, for the periods
indicated, a summary of changes in interest income and interest expense for the
major categories of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and
the amounts of change attributable to variations in volumes and rates. Changes
attributable to the combined impact of volume and rate have been allocated
proportionately to the changes due to volume and the changes due to rate.

Noninterest Income
Six months ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999
Noninterest income of $195,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2000 consisted
of service charges and fees on accounts and other miscellaneous income, and
represented an increase of $49,000 or 34% over the $146,000 reported for
19
<PAGE>
the same period one year earlier. For the three months ended June 30, 2000
noninterest income was $111,000 an increase of $39,000 or 54% over the $72,000
reported for the second quarter of 1999.
Years ended December 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998
Noninterest income of $354,000 in 1999 consisted of service charges and
fees on accounts, securities gains and losses, and other miscellaneous income,
and represented an increase of $90,000 or 34% over the 1998 level.
Future levels of noninterest income are expected to increase as a direct
result of business growth and expansion.
Noninterest Expense
Six months ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999
Noninterest expense for the first six months of 2000 was $1.77 million, an
increase of $315,000 or 22% over the same period in 1999. The largest components
of the increase were compensation expense as additional employees were hired due
to growth, occupancy expense due to growth and expansion, growth-related data
processing expense, and increases in various other expense categories. Total
full-time equivalent employees increased from 39 at June 30, 1999 to 45 as of
June 30, 2000. Noninterest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 was
$901,000, an increase of $138,000 or 18% over the second quarter of 1999.
Years ended December 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998
Noninterest expense for 1999 was $3.03 million, an increase of $777,000 or
35% over 1998, which includes costs associated with the opening of Valley Bank's
Salem office on April 5, 1999. The largest components of the increase were
compensation expense as additional employees were hired due to growth, occupancy
expense due to growth and expansion, growth-related data processing expense, and
increases in various other expense categories. Total full-time equivalent
employees increased from 30 at December 31, 1998 to 42 as of December 31, 1999,
a 40% increase.
Noninterest expenses are expected to increase in future years as a direct
result of business growth and expansion.
Income Taxes
Six months ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999
To reflect Valley Financial's anticipated federal income tax liability, an
expense of $270,000 and $147,000 at an effective tax rate of 28% and 26% was
recognized in the six months ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999,
respectively. The increased income tax in the six months ended June 30, 2000 is
a result of higher taxable income and a higher effective tax rate.
Years ended December 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998
During 1999 and 1998 Valley Financial recorded federal income tax
provisions in the amounts of $394,000 and $263,000, respectively. The increased
income tax in 1999 is a result of higher taxable income and a higher effective
tax rate.
Earning Assets
Six months ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999
Average earning assets were $135.51 million at June 30, 2000 as compared to

Investment Securities
Valley Financial's investment portfolio is used both for investment income
and liquidity purposes. See "--Liquidity" on page 36 for a discussion of the
liquidity provided by the investment portfolio. Funds not used for capital
expenditures or lending activities are invested in securities of the U.S.
Government and its agencies, mortgage-backed securities, municipal bonds,
corporate bonds and equity securities. Obligations of the U.S. Government and
its agencies include treasury notes and both callable and noncallable agency
bonds. Mortgage-backed securities include pools issued by government agencies.
Municipal bonds include taxable and tax-exempt general obligation and revenue
issues. Corporate bonds are investment grade. Equity securities include shares
of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta,
Community Bankers Bank and corporate preferred stocks. Valley Financial does
not invest in derivatives or other types of high-risk securities. The entire
investment portfolio is classified as available-for-sale in order to provide
maximum liquidity for funding needs. Unrealized gains and losses on securities
available-for-sale are recognized as direct increases or decreases in
shareholders' equity.
Six months ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999
Investment securities at June 30, 2000 were $34.91 million, an increase of
$2.95 million or 9% from their level of $31.96 million on December 31, 1999.
This increase resulted from the purchase of securities in the first quarter of
2000, which were funded from excess cash reserves held at December 31, 1999, in
anticipation of the century change. Securities actually decreased $227,000 in
the second quarter of 2000, primarily due to principal prepayments on asset-
backed securities.
Years ended December 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998
Investment securities at December 31, 1999 were $31.96 million, an increase
of $5.84 million or 22% from their level of $26.12 million on December 31, 1998.
The increase was primarily due to the purchase of investment securities with the
proceeds from a $5.00 million FHLB advance in the second quarter of 1999.

1999 by major types of investments.

Loan Portfolio
The loan portfolio primarily consists of commercial, real estate (including
real estate term loans, construction loans and other loans secured by real
estate) and loans to individuals for household, family and other consumer
purposes. Valley Financial adjusts its mix of lending and the terms of its loan
programs according to economic and market conditions, asset/liability management
considerations and other factors. More than 90% of our loans are made to
businesses and individuals located within Valley Financial's primary market
area, most of whom maintain deposit accounts with Valley Bank. There is no
concentration of loans exceeding 10% of total loans which is not disclosed in
the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto or discussed below.
Valley Financial has not made any loans to any foreign entities, including
governments, banks, businesses or individuals. Commercial and construction loans
and home equity lines of credit in the loan portfolio are primarily variable
rate loans and have little interest rate risk.
Six months ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999
Valley Financial's total gross loans were $106.93 million at June 30, 2000,
an increase of $15.54 million or 17% from the $91.39 million reported at
December 31, 1999. Valley Financial's ratio of total loans to total deposits
stood at 88% at June 30, 2000 and 79% at December 31, 1999. Management seeks to
maintain the ratio of loans to deposits in a range of 70% to 85%.
Years ended December 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998
Valley Financial's total gross loans were $91.39 million at December 31,
1999, an increase of $19.77 million or 28% from the $71.62 million reported one
year earlier. Valley Financial's ratio of total loans to total deposits was 79%
at December 31, 1999 and 80% at December 31, 1998.
The following table summarizes the loan portfolio by category as of the
six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 and the years ended December

Loan Category Analysis
Commercial Loans. Commercial and industrial loans accounted for 26% of the
loan portfolio as of June 30, 2000 and stood at $27.77 million versus $21.42
million at June 30, 1999. As of December 31, 1999, commercial and industrial
loans accounted for 27% of the loan portfolio and stood at $24.65 million versus
$17.79 million one year earlier. Such loans generally are made to provide
operating lines of credit, to finance the purchase of inventory or equipment,
and for other business purposes. The creditworthiness of the borrower is
analyzed and re-evaluated on a periodic basis. Most commercial loans are
collateralized with business assets such as accounts receivable, inventory and
equipment. Even with substantial collateral such as all the assets of the
business and personal guarantees, commercial lending involves considerable risk
of loss in the event of a business downturn or failure of the business.
Commercial Real Estate Loans. Commercial real estate mortgages represent
financing of commercial properties that are secured by real estate, and were 35%
of total loans at June 30, 2000 and 36% at December 31, 1999. Outstanding loans
in this category equaled $37.67 million at June 30, 2000, $29.52 million at June
30, 1999, $33.49 million at December 31, 1999, and $22.04 million at December
31, 1998. Valley Financial prefers to make commercial real estate loans secured
by owner-occupied properties, and over 60% of these loans are secured in that
manner. Such borrowers are generally engaged in business activities other than
real estate, and the primary source of repayment is not solely dependent on
conditions in the real estate market.
Real Estate Construction Loans. Real estate construction loans represent
interim financing on residential and commercial properties under construction,
and are secured by real estate. Once construction is completed and the loan
becomes permanent, the loans are reclassified as non-farm nonresidential loans
which are secured by commercial property or residential real estate loans which
are secured by first deeds of trust. Outstanding loans in this category totaled
$7.60 million (7% of total loans) at June 30, 2000 as compared to $5.23 million
(6% of total loans) at December 31, 1999. Outstanding loans were $4.81 million
and $4.71 million at June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively.
Residential Real Estate Loans. Residential real estate loans are secured
by first deeds of trust on 1-4 family residential properties. This category had
$18.40 million in loans (17% of total loans) at June 30, 2000, $14.53 million in
such loans at June 30, 1999, $14.55 million in loans (16% of total loans) at
December 31, 1999, and $14.43 million in such loans at December 31, 1998. To
mitigate interest rate risk, Valley Financial usually limits the final maturity
of residential real estate loans held for its own portfolio to 15 to 20 years
and offers a bi-weekly payment option to encourage faster repayment. Residential
real estate lending involves risk elements when there is lack of timely payment
and/or a decline in the value of the collateral.
Loans to Individuals. Loans to individuals include installment loans and
home equity lines of credit/loans secured by junior liens on residential real
estate. The loan proceeds typically are used to purchase vehicles, finance home
remodeling or higher education, or for other consumer purposes. Loans to
individuals totaled $15.49 million (15% of total loans) at June 30, 2000, $13.40
million at June 30, 1999, $13.48 million (15% of total loans) at December 31,
1999, and $12.65 million at December 31, 1998.
Summary of Allowance for Loan Losses
Certain credit risks are inherent in making loans. We prudently assess
these risks and attempt to manage them effectively. We also attempt to reduce
repayment risks by adhering to our internal credit policies and procedures.
These
26
<PAGE>
policies and procedures include officer and customer limits, periodic loan
documentation review and follow up on exceptions to credit policies.
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level adequate to absorb
probable losses. Some of the factors which management considers in determining
the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses are an evaluation of our
current loan portfolio, identified loan problems, loan volume outstanding, past
loss experience, present and expected industry and economic conditions, and in
particular, how such conditions relate to our market area. Bank regulators also
periodically review our loans and other assets to assess their quality. The
provision for loan losses is charged to income in an amount necessary to
maintain an allowance for loan losses adequate to provide for expected losses in
our loan portfolio. Loans we deem uncollectible are charged to the allowance for
loan losses and recoveries on loans previously charged off are added to the
allowance for loan losses. We believe the allowance for loan losses is adequate
to provide for any losses in our loan portfolio.
Six months ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999
A provision for loan losses of $163,000 was made during the six months
ended June 30, 2000, an increase of $36,000 or 28% over the same period in 1999,
in recognition of management's estimate of inherent risks associated with
lending activities. Due to Valley Bank's limited operating history, this
estimate is primarily based on industry practices and consideration of local
economic factors. The allowance for loan losses was $1.07 million as of June 30,
2000 and represented approximately 1.01% of net loans outstanding versus 1.01%
of net loans outstanding at December 31, 1999.
Years ended December 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998
A provision for loan losses of $216,000 and $249,000 was provided during
1999 and 1998, respectively, in recognition of management's estimate of inherent
risks associated with lending activities. Due to Valley Bank's limited operating
history, this estimate is primarily based on industry practices and
consideration of local economic factors. The allowance for loan losses was
$910,000 and $708,000 as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, and
represented approximately 1.01% and 1.00%, respectively, of net loans
outstanding. The decrease in provision expense is due to the decrease in the
rate of loan growth from 54% for 1998 to 28% for 1999.
No assurance can be given that unforeseen adverse economic conditions or
other circumstances will not result in increased provisions in the future.
Additionally, regulatory examiners may require Valley Financial to recognize
additions to the allowance based upon their judgment about the loan portfolio
and other information available to them at the time of their examinations.
The following table summarizes the loan loss experience for the six-month
periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, and the years ended December 31, 1999 and

During 1999, Valley Financial charged off loans in the amount of $14,000.
Prior to 1999 Valley Financial had not experienced any charge-offs since the
inception of operations in 1995. The $14,000 in loans charged off in 1999 is
comprised of $12,000 in credit card loans and $2,000 in installment loans to
individuals.
Nonperforming Assets. Nonperforming assets include nonaccrual loans, loans
past due 90 days or more, restructured loans and foreclosed/repossessed
property. A loan will be placed on nonaccrual status when collection of all
principal or interest is deemed unlikely. A loan will automatically be placed on
nonaccrual status when principal or interest is past due 90 days or more, unless
the loan is both well secured and in the process of being collected. In this
case, the loan will continue to accrue interest despite its past due status.
A restructured loan is a loan in which the original contract terms have
been modified due to a borrower's financial condition or there has been a
transfer of assets in full or partial satisfaction of the loan. A modification
of original contractual terms is generally a concession to a borrower that a
lending institution would not normally consider. The entire balance of
restructured loans at June 30, 2000, as disclosed below, is comprised of two
loan customers. Due to proper collateralization of the loans, a timely and
proper review of credit quality and restructuring of the loans as deemed
necessary, Valley Financial believes at the present time that all amounts of
principal and interest as detailed in the contractual terms will be collected.
However, Valley Financial cannot give assurance that unforeseen economic
conditions or other circumstances will not result in impairment.
An impaired loan as defined in SFAS 114 is a loan when, based on current
information and events, it is likely that a lending institution will be unable
to collect all amounts, including both principal and interest, due according to
the contractual terms of the loan agreement.
Once a quarter the Board of Directors will review all loans on Valley
Bank's watch list to determine proper action and reporting of any loans
identified as substandard by the credit quality review.
Nonperforming assets at June 30, 2000, June 30, 1999, December 31, 1999,
and December 31, 1998 are presented in the following table.

Total nonaccrual loans increased by $316,000 during the six months ended
June 30, 2000. Of the $316,000 increase, $297,000 is the result of the
deterioration of one commercial loan customer in the second quarter of 2000.
If the nonaccrual loans disclosed above had performed in accordance with
their original terms, additional interest income in the amount of $5,000,
$8,000, $4,000, and $0 would have been recorded for the six month periods ended
June 30, 2000, and June 30, 1999, and the years ended December 31, 1999,
December 31, 1998, respectively.
Valley Bank had restructured loans in the amounts of $770,000 for the six-
month period ended June 30, 2000. There were no such loans at year ended
December 31, 1999, the six-month period ended June 30, 1999, or the year ended
December 31, 1998.
The total recorded investment in impaired loans was $1.37 million,
$225,000, $103,000, and $0 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2000, and
June 30, 1999, and the years ended December 31, 1999, and December 31, 1998,
respectively. The related loan loss allowance allocated to impaired loans was
$30,000, $10,000, $10,000 and $0 for the above-referenced time periods,
respectively. Management believes that the above allocated reserves are
adequate for the impaired loans in Valley Financial's portfolio based upon a
detailed review of the quality and pledged collateral of each individual loan
considered impaired at each of the above-referenced periods.
Deposits
The levels and mix of deposits are influenced by such factors as customer
service, interest rates paid, service charges and the convenience of banking
locations. Competition for deposits is intense from other depository
institutions and money market funds, some of which offer interest rates higher
than those paid by Valley Bank. Management attempts to identify and implement
pricing and marketing strategies designed to control the overall cost of
deposits and to maintain a stable deposit mix. Despite these pricing and market
strategies, the ratio of certificates of deposit to total deposits increased
from 51% at December 31, 1998 to 59% at December 31, 1999. However, management
was able to reduce the cost of funds ratio by 26 basis points from 1998,
primarily by controlling the rates paid on time deposits. The ratio of
certificates of deposit to total deposits remained at the same 1999 year-end
percentage of 59% as of June 30, 2000. However, during the first six months of
2000, the cost of funds ratio increased by 31 basis points over the first six
months of 1999 ratio of 4.02% due to higher interest rates and fierce
competition for deposits.
Six months ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999
As of June 30, 2000 total deposits were $121.51 million, an increase of
$6.03 million or 5% from their level of $115.48 million at December 31, 1999.
The major categories of increases were non-interest bearing demand deposits and
time deposits in the amounts of $5.05 million and $3.25 million, respectively,
partially offset by declines in the other categories. Of the $5.05 million
increase in non-interest bearing demand deposits, $2.25 million is attributable
to an increase in official checks, which include internally generated expense
checks, cashiers checks, and money orders. The increase in official checks was
primarily due to the issuance of loan proceeds to Valley Bank customers for
closings that occurred at the end of the period.
At June 30, 2000 noninterest-bearing demand deposits were $19.38 million or
16% of total deposits. On December 31, 1999 noninterest bearing demand deposits
were $14.33 million or 12% of total deposits. Nonmaturity deposits (noninterest
bearing demand deposits, interest bearing demand deposits, money market accounts
and savings accounts) were $50.07 million or 41% of total deposits at June 30,
2000, compared with $47.29 million or 41% of total
29
<PAGE>
deposits at December 31, 1999. Total interest bearing deposits stood at $102.13
million at June 30, 2000, an increase of $976,000 or 1% over their level of
$101.15 million at December 31, 1999.
For the six months ended June 30, 2000 average noninterest bearing demand
deposits were $15.04 million or 13% of average total deposits. For the six
months ended June 30, 1999, average noninterest bearing demand deposits were
$12.09 million or 13% of average total deposits. Nonmaturity deposits
(noninterest bearing demand deposits, interest bearing demand deposits, money
market accounts and savings accounts) averaged $47.13 million or 41% of average
total deposits in the six months ended June 30, 2000, up from $45.58 million or
48% of average total deposits in the six months ended June 30, 1999. Total
interest bearing deposits averaged $99.97 million for the six months ended June
30, 2000, an increase of $16.97 million or 20% over their level of $83.00
million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. Total time deposits averaged
$67.89 million in the six months ended June 30, 2000 or 59% of average total
deposits, up from $49.51 million or 52% of average total deposits in the six
months ended June 30, 1999.
Years ended December 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998
As of December 31, 1999 total deposits were $115.48 million, an increase of
$25.45 million or 28% from their level of $90.03 million one year earlier.
Average deposits were $101.43 million for 1999, an increase of $24.37 million or
32% over 1998's average deposits of $77.06 million. The increase in average
deposits during 1999 was primarily due to increases in previously existing
accounts as well as new accounts opened during the year.
For the year ended December 31, 1999 average noninterest bearing demand
deposits were $13.04 million or 13% of average total deposits. For the prior
year, average noninterest bearing demand deposits were $8.60 million or 11% of
average total deposits. Nonmaturity deposits (noninterest bearing demand
deposits, interest bearing demand deposits, money market accounts and savings
accounts) averaged $45.86 million or 45% of average total deposits in 1999, up
from $34.06 million or 44% of average total deposits in 1998. Total interest
bearing deposits averaged $88.38 million for the year ended December 31, 1999,
an increase of $19.92 million or 29% over their level of $68.46 million for the
year ended December 31, 1998.

Short-Term Borrowings
Valley Bank placed in service a commercial sweep account program in the
third quarter of 1999. The balances in the program grew by $3.18 million from
their level of $992,000 at December 31, 1999 to a total of $4.17 million as of
June 30, 2000. The program consists of establishing a demand deposit account in
which Valley Bank invests available balances daily in securities on an overnight
basis subject to repurchase. On the following business day, Valley Bank will
repurchase from the customer the securities for an amount equal to the amount of
available balances invested in the securities. Interest is calculated daily at
the rate applicable for each overnight period; however, it is posted to the
customer accounts only once per month. The contractual agreement states that
the repurchase agreement is not a deposit and therefore is not insured by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Therefore, these repurchase balances are
not reported as deposits but as short-term borrowings.
The following table presents information on each category of Valley
Financial's short-term borrowings which generally mature within one to seven
days from the transaction date.

Other Debt
Valley Financial has outstanding debt with the Federal Home Bank of Atlanta
in the amount of $10.00 million, represented by two advances in the amount of
$5.00 million each. The older advance was drawn on December 2, 1999 with a
maturity date of December 2, 2009. Interest payments at a fixed rate of 5.46%
began on March 2, 2000 and will continue quarterly on the second day of each
anniversary month. The Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta has the option to
convert in whole this transaction effective December 4, 2000 to a three-month
LIBOR-based floating rate advance. The other outstanding advance was drawn on
May 24, 2000 with a maturity date of May 24, 2010. Interest payments at a fixed
rate of 5.46% began on August 24, 2000 and will continue quarterly on the
twenty-fourth day of each anniversary month. The Federal Home Bank of Atlanta
also has the option to convert this transaction in whole to a three-month LIBOR-
based floating rate advance effective May 24, 2001.
On June 30, 2000 Valley Financial issued a $2.3 million subordinated
capital note to a commercial bank. The note bears interest at prime minus 125
basis points and has a final maturity of 12 years, although it can be repaid at
any time without penalty. The note meets the regulatory requirements to qualify
as Tier 2 capital, and is the primary reason for the increase in Valley
Financial's total capital ratio at June 30, 2000. Of the proceeds of the note,
$1.00 million was downstreamed to Valley Bank as additional common equity,
$300,000 was used to retire inter-company debt and $1.00 million was retained at
the parent company for general corporate purposes and to be available as a
source of additional capital for Valley Bank.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk to earnings or capital generated by movement
of interest rates. It can come from differences between the timing of rate
changes and the timing of cash flows (repricing risk); from changing rate
relationships among yield curves that affect bank activities (basis risk); from
changing rate relationships across the spectrum of maturities (yield curve
risk); and from interest rate related options imbedded in bank products (option
risk).
While no single measure can completely identify the impact of changes in
interest rates on net interest income, a commonly-used technique within the
industry is to assess the differences in the amounts of rate-sensitive assets
and rate-sensitive liabilities. These differences or "gaps" provide an
indication of the extent to which net interest income may be affected by future
changes in interest rates. A "positive gap" exists when rate-sensitive assets
exceed rate-sensitive liabilities and indicates that a greater volume of assets
than liabilities will reprice during a given period. A positive gap may enhance
earnings in a rising interest rate environment and may inhibit earnings in a
declining interest rate
32
<PAGE>
environment. Conversely, when rate-sensitive liabilities exceed rate-sensitive
assets (a "negative gap"), a greater volume of liabilities than assets will
reprice within the period. In such a case, a rising interest rate environment
may inhibit earnings and a declining interest rate environment may enhance
earnings.
Some financial institutions evaluate their "gaps" strictly from a balance
sheet perspective, calculating the absolute difference between the volumes of
assets and liabilities that have the contractual ability to reprice within a
given period in response to changes in interest rates. We believe this "balance
sheet gap" methodology does not adequately take into consideration the
differences in the way various balance sheet items react to changing interest
rates. For example, the rate on savings accounts does not move in direct tandem
with changes in the Prime Rate, but typically increases or decreases to a much
lesser extent. On the other hand, home equity lines and many commercial loans
are tied directly to Prime and immediately reprice to the full extent of any
changes in the Prime Rate. Accordingly, Valley Financial utilizes an "income
statement gap" methodology that analyzes the various asset and liability
categories and assigns them a "change ratio" that estimates their relative
change in response to a change in the Prime Rate, based on industry trends and
Valley Financial's own experience.
At least quarterly, Valley Financial calculates Valley Bank's "income
statement gap" to estimate how many assets and liabilities would reprice, and to
what extent, within a one year period in response to changes in the Prime Rate.
Management's objective is to keep the one year "income statement gap" at or
below 15% of total assets under 200 basis point interest rate change scenarios.
Six months ended June 30, 2000
Utilizing this methodology and assuming a 200 basis point increase in
Prime, Valley Bank at June 30, 2000 had a negative one-year gap of $26.65
million or 17.59% of total assets. At that same date and assuming a 200 basis
point decrease in Prime, Valley Bank had a positive one-year gap of $11.89
million or 7.85% of total assets.
Years ended December 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998
Utilizing the methodology above and assuming a 200 basis point increase in
Prime, Valley Bank at December 31, 1999 had a negative one-year gap of $14.42
million or 10.55% of total assets. At that same date and assuming a 200 basis
point decrease in Prime, Valley Bank had a positive one-year gap of $21.81
million or 15.96% of total assets.
Utilizing the same methodology as above and assuming a 200 basis point
increase in Prime, Valley Bank at December 31, 1998 had a negative one-year gap
of $2.93 million or 2.82% of total assets. At that same date, assuming a 200
basis point decrease in Prime, Valley Bank had a positive one-year gap of $7.84
million or 7.54% of total assets.

Capital Adequacy
Valley Financial's financial position at June 30, 2000 and December 31,
1999 reflects liquidity and capital levels currently adequate to fund
anticipated short-term business expansion. Capital ratios are in excess of
required regulatory minimums for a well-capitalized institution. The adequacy of
Valley Financial's capital is reviewed by management on an ongoing basis.
Management seeks to maintain a capital structure adequate to support anticipated
asset growth and serve as a cushion to absorb potential losses.
Six months ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999
Total shareholders' equity was $9.73 million at June 30, 2000 compared with
$9.06 million at December 31, 1999, an increase of $679,000 or 7%. The increase
is attributable to net income for the first six months of $684,000, offset by a
$5,000 increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Exclusive of
accumulated other comprehensive loss, which is comprised exclusively of net
unrealized losses on investment securities, shareholders' equity was $10.72
million at June 30, 2000 and $10.03 million at December 31, 1999.
Years ended December 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998
Total shareholders' equity was $9.06 million at December 31, 1999 compared
with $9.16 million at December 31, 1998, a decrease of $102,000 or 1%. The
$102,000 decrease is attributable to 1999's net income of $1.04 million, a $1.15
million decrease over the level at December 31, 1998 in accumulated other
comprehensive income, which is comprised exclusively of unrealized gains
(losses) on available-for-sale investment securities, and proceeds from the
issuance of common stock under Valley Financial's Incentive Stock Plan in the
amount of $4,000. Exclusive of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss),
which is comprised exclusively of the unrealized gains (losses) on available-
for-sale securities, total shareholders' equity would have been $10.03 million
and $8.99 million at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, an increase of
$1.05 million or 12%.
For the periods indicated, Valley Financial had the risk-based capital and
leverage ratios relative to regulatory minimums set forth in the following
table. See "Supervision and Regulation - Supervision and Regulation of Valley
Bank - Bank Capital Guidelines" on page 47.

Liquidity
Asset/liability management activities are designed to ensure that adequate
liquidity is available to meet loan demand or deposit outflows and, through the
management of Valley Financial's interest sensitivity position, to manage the
impact of interest rate fluctuations on net interest income. See "--Interest
Rate Risk" on page 32.
Liquidity measures the ability of Valley Financial to meet its maturing
obligations and existing commitments, to withstand fluctuations in deposit
levels, to fund its operations and to provide for customers' credit needs.
Liquidity represents a financial 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 from alternative funding sources.
Valley Financial's asset liquidity is provided by cash and due from banks,
federal funds sold, investments available for sale, and through the management
of investment maturities/prepayments and loan repayments.
The level of deposits may fluctuate, perhaps significantly so, due to
seasonal cycles of deposit customers and the promotional activities of
competitor financial institutions. Similarly, the level of demand for loans may
vary significantly and at any given time may increase or decrease substantially.
However, unlike the level of deposits, management has more direct control over
lending activities and if necessary can adjust the level of those activities
according to the amounts of available funds.
In addition to asset liquidity, Valley Financial would have liquidity
available to it through increasing certain categories of liabilities. It could
purchase overnight federal funds, borrow from correspondent banks, sell
securities under a repurchase agreement or obtain advances from the Federal Home
Loan Bank. Valley Bank has established a credit line though the discount window
of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond as an additional source of liquidity.
As a result of Valley Financial's management of liquid assets and the ability to
generate liquidity through alternative funding sources, management believes
Valley Financial maintains overall liquidity sufficient to meet its depositors'
requirements and satisfy its customers' credit needs.
Six months ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999
Valley Financial's ratio of liquid assets to deposits and short-term
borrowings was 32% at June 30, 2000 and 36% at December 31, 1999. Valley
Financial sells excess funds as overnight federal funds sold to provide an
immediate source of liquidity. Valley Financial had federal funds sold of $1.31
million and $6.03 million at June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively,
a decrease of $4.72 million. The decrease in federal funds sold during the first
six months of 2000 was primarily due to loan growth in the amount of $15.54
million, and was despite deposit growth of $6.03 million, securities sold under
agreements to repurchase growth of $3.18 million, and a daily rollover
adjustable rate advance obtained from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta
during the second quarter in the amount of $3.00 million.
One aspect of liquidity that we have been closely examining is our
investment portfolio. As of June 30, 2000, Valley Financial had unrealized
losses of $1.49 million on $36.40 million of securities available-for-sale. We
do not currently intend to sell these securities, as a sale would cause these
unrealized losses to be recognized. We are currently considering certain swap-
related transactions in order to shorten the average maturity of our portfolio
and to reallocate certain funds into other types of securities.
As of June 30, 2000, Valley Financial had pledged approximately $9.5
million of its investment portfolio as collateral for a line of credit from the
Federal Home Loan Bank. As of that date, Valley Financial had approximately
36
<PAGE>
$7.6 million in available overnight credit from the Federal Home Loan Bank under
that arrangement. In addition, Valley Financial has an additional $20 million in
bonds, and $61 million in loans, approximately, available as collateral for
additional borrowings to provide additional liquidity.
Years ended December 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998
Valley Financial's ratio of liquid assets to deposits and short-term
borrowings was 36% at December 31, 1999 and 35% at December 31, 1998. The ratio
increased due to a 34% growth rate in liquid assets as compared to a 29% growth
rate in deposits and short-term borrowings in 1999 over 1998. Federal funds sold
at December 31, 1999 were $6.03 million compared to $1.70 million at December
31, 1998.
Year 2000
Valley Financial spent a significant amount of time planning, testing, and
upgrading for the changeover of information technology systems to January 1,
2000 and other identified sensitive dates. Our efforts were successful, as there
were no identified problems with our data processing system. As a result, we
incurred no expenses in the first six months of 2000 in relation to the Year
2000 changeover, and none are anticipated in the future. We are aware of no year
2000 problem with a third party provider or customer that will significantly
impact us.
Impact of Inflation
The consolidated financial statements and notes thereto presented herein
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
which requires the measurement of financial position and operating results in
terms of historical dollars without considering changes in the relative
purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. Unlike most industrial
companies, nearly all the assets and liabilities of Valley Financial and Valley
Bank are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a greater impact
on Valley Financial's performance than do the effects of changes in the general
rate of inflation and changes in prices. In addition, interest rates do not
necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as do the prices
of goods and services. Management seeks to manage the relationship between
interest-sensitive assets and liabilities in order to protect against wide
interest rate fluctuations, including those resulting from inflation.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities. Statement 133 established standards for
accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain
instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities. It requires
that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the
statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value.
Statement 133 was issued to establish guidelines over the accounting and
reporting of derivative instruments and hedging activities.

<PAGE>
Statement 133 shall be effective for all fiscal quarters of all fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 2000. Initial application of this Statement shall
be as of the beginning of an entity's fiscal quarter. Earlier application of all
of the provisions of this Statement is encouraged but is permitted only as of
the beginning of any fiscal quarter that begins after issuance of this
Statement. Earlier application of selected provisions of this Statement is not
permitted. This Statement shall not be applied retroactively to financial
statements of prior periods. Adoption of Statement 133 on January 1, 2000 did
not have any effect on Valley Bank's consolidated financial position, results of
operations or liquidity.

Employment Contracts, Termination and Change-in-Control Agreements
Valley Financial has entered into employment agreements with Mr. Lewis and
Mr. Gutshall, each with an initial term of three years and automatic renewals of
that term each year unless either party gives sufficient prior notice. Each
agreement provides a minimum salary level that may be increased by the Board at
its annual evaluation, as well as group benefits provided to other executives,
the establishment of a life insurance policy financing facility, and the stock
option arrangement described above. Each agreement also contains change-in-
control provisions entitling each executive to certain benefits in the event his
employment is terminated within three years of a change in control of Valley
Financial for reasons other than death, retirement, disability, cause, voluntary
resignation other than for good reason, or pursuant to notice of termination
given prior to the change in control. If either executive is terminated
following a change in control, he will receive a lump-sum payment equal to 2.99
times average annual compensation for the most recent five years, provided that
if the payment is or will be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999
of the Internal Revenue Code or any similar tax, the amount of the payment will
be reduced to avoid that excise tax.
As an inducement for Mr. Woodson to join Valley Bank in February 1998,
Valley Financial entered into a change-in-control severance agreement with him.
The initial date of that agreement was February 9, 1998, and it had an initial
five-year term. That agreement provides that if there is a change in control of
Valley Financial during the term of that agreement, Mr. Woodson will be entitled
to receive effectively the same protections and compensation terms provided to
Messrs. Gutshall and Lewis, outlined in the preceding paragraph.
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
Anna L. Lawson, a Class A Director, is the sister of George W. Logan, a
Class C Director and Chairman of the Board of Directors. Otherwise, there are no
family relationships among the directors and executive officers of Valley
Financial.
Valley Bank has had and expects to have loan transactions with certain of
the directors and officers and their affiliates. Such loans were made in the
ordinary course of business, on substantially the same terms, including interest
rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable
transactions with other persons, and do not involve more than normal risk of
collectibility or have other unfavorable features. As of June 30, 2000, we had a
total of $5.09 million in loans outstanding or committed to our directors and
executive officers.
DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
Valley Financial's Articles of Incorporation authorize 10 million shares of
common stock, of which 1,013,207 shares were issued and outstanding on June 30,
2000. As of August 31, 2000, there were approximately 533 shareholders of
record of our common stock and approximately 975 beneficial holders. In
addition, our Articles authorize 10 million shares of preferred stock. There are
no shares of preferred stock outstanding. The Board may issue shares of common
stock and preferred stock as the Board deems advisable without further
shareholder approval. In other words, the Board may decide to issue additional
stock and dilute your ownership interests.
Summary of Shareholder Rights
Dividend Rights. Valley Financial may pay dividends as declared from time
to time by the Board out of funds that are legally available, subject to certain
restrictions imposed by state and federal laws. We do not expect to pay
dividends in the near future, but rather to retain our earnings to provide funds
to operate and expand our business. See "Dividend Policy."
Voting Rights. In all elections of directors, a shareholder has the right
to cast one vote for each share of stock held by him or her for as many persons
as there are directors to be elected. We do not have cumulative voting rights.
On any other question to be determined by a vote of shares at any meeting of
shareholders, each shareholder is entitled to one vote for each share of stock
held by him or her and entitled to vote.
Preemptive Rights. Holders of common stock do not have preemptive rights
with respect to issues of common stock. Accordingly, your share ownership may be
diluted if the Board decides to issue additional stock in the future.
Liquidation Rights. Upon liquidation, after payment of all creditors, the
remaining assets of our company would
43
<PAGE>
be distributed to the holders of common stock on a pro-rata basis.
Calls and Assessments. All common stock outstanding is fully paid and non-
assessable.
Indemnification of Officers and Directors. The Articles of Incorporation
provide for the indemnification of our officers and directors for their actions
unless a court finds them liable for willful misconduct or a knowing violation
of the criminal law. In any proceeding brought by shareholders against an
officer or director in connection with his or her position with Valley Financial
or Valley Bank, no damages may be assessed against that officer or director
unless he or she is liable for willful misconduct or a knowing violation of
criminal or securities laws. We are advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission indemnification of directors, officers and
controlling persons for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933 is against
public policy and is, therefore, unenforceable.
Reports to Shareholders. We furnish shareholders with annual reports,
including audited financial statements, and quarterly reports containing
unaudited financial information.
Virginia Anti-Takeover Statutes
State Anti-Takeover Statutes. Virginia law restricts transactions between
a Virginia corporation and its affiliates and potential acquirers. The following
discussion summarizes the two Virginia statutes that may discourage an attempt
to acquire control of Valley Financial. We encourage you to read the entire
statutes referenced below.
Affiliated Transactions. Virginia Code Sections 13.1-725 - 727.1 govern
"Affiliated Transactions." These provisions, with several exceptions discussed
below, require approval by the holders of at least two-thirds of the remaining
voting shares of material acquisition transactions between a Virginia
corporation and any holder of more than 10% of any class of its outstanding
voting shares. Affiliated Transactions include mergers, share exchanges,
material dispositions of corporate assets not in the ordinary course of
business, any dissolution of the corporation proposed by or on behalf of an
interested shareholder, or any reclassification, including a reverse stock
split, recapitalization, or merger of the corporation with its subsidiaries
which increases the percentage of voting shares owned beneficially by any 10%
shareholder by more than 5%.
For three years following the time that a shareholder becomes an owner of
10% of the outstanding voting shares, a Virginia corporation cannot engage in an
Affiliated Transaction with that shareholder without approval of two-thirds of
the voting shares other than those shares beneficially owned by that
shareholder, and majority approval of the disinterested directors. A
disinterested director is a member of the Valley Financial Board who was (i) a
member on the date the shareholder acquired more than 10% and (ii) recommended
for election by, or was elected to fill a vacancy and received the affirmative
vote of, a majority of the disinterested directors then on the Board. At the
expiration of the three-year period, the statute requires approval of Affiliated
Transactions by two-thirds of the voting shares other than those beneficially
owned by the 10% shareholder.
The principal exceptions to the special voting requirement apply to
transactions proposed after the three-year period has expired and require either
that the transaction be approved by a majority of the corporation's
disinterested directors or that the transaction satisfy the fair-price
requirement of the statute. In general, the fair-price requirement provides that
in a two-step acquisition transaction, the 10% shareholder must pay the
shareholders in the second step either the same amount of cash or the same
amount and type of consideration paid to acquire the Virginia corporation's
shares in the first step.
None of the foregoing limitations and special voting requirements applies
to a transaction with any 10% shareholder whose acquisition of shares taking him
or her over 10% was approved by a majority of the corporation's disinterested
directors.
These provisions were designed to deter certain takeovers of Virginia
corporations. In addition, the statute provides that, by affirmative vote of a
majority of the voting shares other than shares owned by any 10% shareholder, a
corporation can adopt an amendment to its articles of incorporation or bylaws
providing that the Affiliated Transactions provisions shall not apply to the
corporation. We have not "opted out" of the Affiliated Transactions provisions.
Control Share Acquisitions. Virginia law also provides that shares
acquired in a transaction that would cause the acquiring person's voting
strength to meet or exceed any of the three thresholds (20%, 33 1/3% or 50%)
have no voting rights for those shares exceeding that threshold, unless granted
by a majority vote of shares not owned by the acquiring person. This provision
empowers an acquiring person to require the Virginia corporation to hold a
special meeting of
44
<PAGE>
shareholders to consider the matter within 50 days of the request.
Both of these statutes provide impediments to a hostile or unwelcome
takeover of Valley Financial. In doing so, they may discourage transactions that
some shareholders may feel are in their best interest.
VALLEY FINANCIAL'S SUBORDINATED DEBT
On June 30, 2000, Valley Financial issued subordinated debt in the
principal amount of $2.3 million to a commercial bank. Under the Federal
Reserve's risk-based capital guidelines, bank holding companies like Valley
Financial may include in Tier 2 capital long-term subordinated debt that meet
certain conditions. The $2.3 million subordinated debt is intended to be treated
as capital rather than debt of Valley Financial for purposes of these capital
adequacy guidelines.
The subordinated debt principal amount must be paid back on July 1, 2012,
although Valley Financial has the right to prepay the debt at any time except in
limited, specified circumstances where prepayment might adversely affect the
payment of senior debt. Valley Financial has no senior debt at this time, so
nothing prevents prepayment of this subordinated debt. Quarterly payments of
accrued interest are required. Interest accrues at a variable annual rate of
1.25% below the Wall Street Journal "prime rate."
-------------------
This debt is subordinated to Valley Financial's general creditors, is
unsecured and does not contain provisions that permit the holder to require
early payment of principal prior to maturity except in the event of Valley
Financial's bankruptcy or receivership.
In the event of the insolvency of Valley Financial, this subordinated debt
would be paid after general creditors but before any distribution to
shareholders. Consequently, the subordinated debt would reduce dollar for dollar
any insolvency or bankruptcy distribution that would otherwise be paid to
shareholders. In the event that we failed to pay the subordinated debt at
maturity, the holder could exercise its rights as a creditor to collect the
subordinated debt. Such an action could cause Valley Financial to go into
bankruptcy or other insolvency proceedings that would reduce or eliminate any
bankruptcy or insolvency distribution. We intend to prepay this subordinated
debt with a portion of the proceeds of this offering. Since this debt is already
included in our regulatory capital calculation, paying off this debt with
proceeds of this offering will mean that $2.3 million of the offering proceeds
will not increase our regulatory capital.
SUPERVISION AND REGULATION
We provide the following as a summary of statutes and regulations affecting
bank holding companies like Valley Financial and banks like Valley Bank. Federal
and state laws and regulations provide regulatory oversight for virtually all
aspects of operations. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to
these statutes and regulations.
Supervision and Regulation of Valley Financial
General Banking Regulation. Valley Financial is a bank holding company
within the meaning of the Federal Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 and the
Virginia Banking Act. As a bank holding company, Valley Financial is required to
file with the Federal Reserve Board periodic reports and information regarding
its business operations and those of Valley Bank. Valley Financial also must
provide the Virginia Bureau of Financial Institutions with information regarding
itself and Valley Bank. Valley Financial and Valley Bank also are examined by
the Federal Reserve and by the Virginia Bureau of Financial Institutions.
A bank holding company is required to obtain prior approval from the
Federal Reserve before acquiring control of substantially all the assets of any
non-affiliated bank or more than 5% of the voting shares of any bank it does not
already own, or before it merges or consolidates with another institution or
engages in any business other than banking or managing, controlling or
furnishing services to banks and other subsidiaries, and a limited list of
activities closely related to or incidental to banking. Similarly, approval of
the Virginia Bureau of Financial Institutions is required for certain
acquisitions of other banks and bank holding companies. The Federal Reserve will
approve the ownership by a bank holding company of shares in a company engaged
in activities determined by order or regulation to be so closely related to
banking or to managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto.
In other words, regulatory involvement, and frequently approval, is required if
we engage in non-banking activities.
45
<PAGE>
Valley Financial would be compelled by the Federal Reserve to invest
additional capital in the event Valley Bank experiences either significant loan
losses or rapid growth of loans or deposits. The Federal Reserve requires a bank
holding company to act as a source of financial strength and to take measures to
preserve and protect its bank subsidiaries.
Holding Company Capital Guidelines. As a bank holding company, we will
operate under the capital adequacy guidelines established by the Federal
Reserve. Under the Federal Reserve's current risk-based capital guidelines for
bank holding companies, the minimum required ratio for total capital to risk
weighted assets we will be required to maintain is 8%, with at least 4%
consisting of Tier 1 capital. Tier 1 capital consists of common and qualifying
preferred stock, certain other qualifying instruments, and minority interests in
equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, less goodwill and other intangible
assets. These risk-based capital guidelines establish minimum standards, and
bank holding companies generally are expected to operate well above the minimum
standards. We may raise this capital with certain types of debt, as we did with
our subordinated debt, and we may raise capital by selling company stock, as we
are doing with this offering.
Financial Modernization Legislation. A bank holding company generally is
restricted to activities related or incidental to banking. In the past, bank
holding companies were specifically prohibited from engaging in the issue,
flotation, underwriting, public sale, or distribution of third party securities.
Limits also were placed on underwriting and selling insurance. The activities
permissible to bank holding companies and their affiliates were substantially
expanded by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which became effective in March of this
year. This new Act repeals the banking/securities industry anti-affiliation
rules and permits the common ownership of commercial banks, investment banks,
and insurance companies. Under this new law, a bank holding company can elect to
be treated as a financial holding company, which may engage in any activity that
the Federal Reserve determines is financial in nature. A financial holding
company also may engage in any activity that is complementary to a financial
activity and does not pose a substantial risk to the safety and soundness of the
related depository institutions or the financial system generally.
In order for a bank holding company to qualify as a financial holding
company, all of its depository subsidiaries (i.e., banks and thrifts) must be
well capitalized and well managed, and must meet their Community Reinvestment
Act (CRA) obligations, as explained below. The bank holding company also must
declare its intention to become a financial holding company to the Federal
Reserve Board and certify that it meets the requirements. Banks and thrifts
acquired by a financial holding company within 12 months prior to the date on
which the election is filed may be excluded from this test if they have less
than a satisfactory CRA rating, but they must submit a plan to the applicable
federal banking agency describing how the CRA rating will be brought into
conformance.
Financial holding company powers that are either specified in the statute
or have been determined by the Federal Reserve Board to be financial in nature
include the following:
. underwriting insurance or annuities;
. providing financial or investment advice;
. underwriting, dealing in, or making markets in securities;
. merchant banking, subject to limitations on size and capital
restrictions;
. insurance portfolio investing, subject to limitations; and
. any other activities previously found to be closely related to
banking by the Federal Reserve Board.
The Act also establishes a system of functional regulation for financial holding
companies and banks providing regulation of securities by the Securities and
Exchange Commission and state securities regulators, regulation of futures by
the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, and regulation of insurance activities
by the state insurance regulators. Banks may sell title insurance only when
specifically permitted under the applicable state law.
This new law also imposes new customer privacy requirements on financial
institutions. Financial institutions generally are prohibited from disclosing
customer information to non-affiliated third parties, unless the customer has
been given the opportunity to object and has not objected to such disclosure.
Financial institutions must disclose their specific privacy policies to their
customers annually. Upon making such disclosure, there is no specific
restriction on financial institutions disclosing customer information to
affiliated parties. Financial institutions must comply with state law, however,
if it protects customer privacy more fully than federal law. Specific privacy
regulations are expected to be effective early next year.
The new law also revises the present Federal Home Loan Bank system,
imposing new capital requirements on Federal Home Loan Banks and authorizing
them to issue two classes of stock with differing dividend rates and
46
<PAGE>
redemption requirements. Permissible uses of Federal Home Loan Bank advances by
community financial institutions (under $500 million in assets) have been
expanded to include funding loans to small businesses, and small farms and
agribusiness. Valley Bank uses Federal Home Loan Bank loans extensively to fund
our lending opportunities.
The new law contains a variety of other provisions. Automated teller
machine surcharges are prohibited unless the customer first has been provided
notice of the imposition and amount of the fee. Community Reinvestment Act
examinations for smaller institutions (including Valley Bank) will be less
frequent. Certain reporting requirements are now imposed on depository
institutions that make payments to non-governmental entities in connection with
the Community Reinvestment Act.
Valley Financial does not currently intend to become a "financial holding
company" under the terms of this new law. We are unable to predict the impact of
this new law on our competition or our operations at this time.
Securities. Valley Financial also must comply with the requirements of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which include the filing of annual, quarterly
and other reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Supervision and Regulation of Valley Bank
General. Valley Bank is a state bank and member of the Federal Reserve
System. Valley Bank will be examined and regulated by the Federal Reserve and
the Virginia Bureau of Financial Institutions. The Federal Reserve and the
Virginia Bureau regulate and monitor all significant aspects of Valley Bank's
operations. The Federal Reserve requires quarterly reports on Valley Bank's
financial condition, and both federal and state regulators conduct periodic
examinations of the bank. The cost of complying with these regulations and
reporting requirements can be significant. In addition, some of these
regulations impact investors directly. For example, Valley Bank may pay
dividends only out of its net undivided profits after deducting expenses, bad
debts, losses, interest and taxes accrued, and contribution to capital necessary
for the bank's original capital to be restored. The Federal Reserve recommends
that banks pay dividends only if the net income available to shareholders in the
past year fully funds those dividends, and the expected rate of earnings
retention is consistent with capital needs, asset quality, and overall financial
condition. Regulatory restrictions on Valley Bank's ability to pay dividends may
adversely impact Valley Financial's ability to pay dividends to its
shareholders.
As a member of the Federal Reserve, Valley Bank also will have to comply
with rules that restrict preferential loans by the bank to "insiders," require
Valley Bank to keep information on loans to principal shareholders and executive
officers, and prohibit certain director and officer interlocks between financial
institutions. Valley Bank's loan operations, particularly for consumer and
residential real estate loans, are also subject to numerous legal requirements
as are its deposit activities. In addition to regulatory compliance costs, these
laws may create the risk of liability to Valley Bank for noncompliance.
FDIC Insurance. Valley Bank's deposits will be insured by the FDIC for a
maximum of $100,000 per depositor. For this protection, Valley Bank pays a semi-
annual statutory assessment and must comply with the rules and regulations of
the FDIC. Valley Bank's recent annual FDIC deposit insurance premium assessments
were zero, reflecting the industry's improved health. However, these assessments
can go up or down, affecting Valley Bank's costs, depending on the solvency of
the banking industry as a whole. In addition, the cost of complying with FDIC
rules and regulations may negatively impact Valley Bank's profitability. For
member banks like Valley Bank, the Federal Reserve has the authority to prevent
the continuance or development of unsound and unsafe banking practices and to
approve conversions, mergers and consolidations. Obtaining regulatory approval
of these transactions can be expensive, time-consuming and ultimately may not be
successful.
Bank Capital Guidelines. Federal bank regulatory authorities have adopted
risk-based capital adequacy guidelines that redefine traditional capital ratios
to take into account assessments of risks related to each balance sheet
category, as well as off-balance sheet financing activities. This represents an
effort to measure capital adequacy in a way that is more sensitive to the
individual risk profiles of specific financial institutions. The risk-weighted
asset base is equal to the sum of the aggregate dollar value of assets and
certain off-balance sheet items (such as currency or interest rate swaps) in
each of the four separate risk categories, multiplied by the risk weight
assigned to each specific asset category. After the items in each category have
been totaled and multiplied by the category's risk factor, category totals are
aggregated to derive the total risk-weighted assets, and the total adjusted
capital base is divided by the total risk-weighted assets to derive a ratio.
Under the Federal Reserve's current risk-based capital guidelines for
member banks, Valley Bank will be required to maintain a minimum ratio of total
capital to risk weighted assets of 8%, with at least 4% consisting of Tier 1
capital. Tier 1
47
<PAGE>
capital consists of common and qualifying preferred stock, certain other
qualifying instruments, and minority interests in equity accounts of
consolidated subsidiaries, less goodwill and other intangible assets. In
addition, the Federal Reserve requires its member banks to maintain a minimum
ratio of Tier 1 capital to average total assets. This capital measure generally
is referred to as the leverage capital ratio. The minimum required leverage
capital ratio is 4% if the Federal Reserve determines that the institution is
not anticipating or experiencing significant growth and has well-diversified
risks -- including no undue interest rate exposure, excellent asset quality,
high liquidity and good earnings -- and, in general, is considered a strong
banking organization and rated Composite 1 under the Uniform Financial
Institutions Rating Systems. If Valley Bank does not satisfy any of these
criteria it may be required to maintain a ratio of total capital to risk-based
assets of 10% and a ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-based assets of at least 6%.
Valley Bank would then be required to maintain a 5% leverage capital ratio.
These regulations can impact Valley Bank by requiring it to hold more capital
and thereby inhibit its ability to grow. At June 30, 2000 Valley Financial and
Valley Bank had the following risk-based capital and leverage ratios relative to
regulatory minimums:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Ratio Valley Financial Valley Bank Minimum
---------------- ----------- -------
<S> <C> <C> <C>
Tier 1 9.20% 9.90% 4.00%
Total 12.10% 10.82% 8.00%
Leverage 7.30% 7.89% 4.00%
</TABLE>
Affiliate Transactions and Branching. The Federal Reserve Act restricts
loans, investments, asset purchases and other transactions between banks and
their affiliates, including placing collateral requirements and requiring that
those transactions are on terms and under conditions substantially the same as
those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with non-affiliates.
Valley Bank may branch without geographic restriction in Virginia, and it may
acquire branches or banks or merge across state lines in most cases. Valley Bank
does not currently intend to expand outside of Virginia.
Community Reinvestment Act. The federal Community Reinvestment Act (CRA)
requires that the federal banking regulators evaluate the record of the
financial institutions in meeting the credit needs of their local communities,
including low and moderate income neighborhoods, consistent with the safe and
sound operation of those institutions. These factors are also considered in
evaluating mergers, acquisitions and applications to open a branch or facility.
Recent legislative and regulatory changes have reduced the paperwork and
regulatory burden of CRA on smaller institutions such as Valley Bank. Valley
Bank received a "Satisfactory" CRA rating in its latest CRA examination.
Other Regulation. Valley Bank is subject to a variety of other regulation.
State and federal laws restrict interest rates on loans, potentially affecting
our income. The Truth in Lending Act and the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act impose
information requirements on Valley Bank in making loans. The Equal Credit
Opportunity Act prohibits discrimination in lending on the basis of race, creed,
or other prohibited factors. The Fair Credit Reporting Act governs the use and
release of information to credit reporting agencies. The Truth in Savings Act
requires disclosure of yields and costs of deposits and deposit accounts. Other
acts govern confidentiality of consumer financial records, automatic deposits
and withdrawals, check settlement, endorsement and presentment, and disclosure
of cash transactions exceeding $10,000.
Monetary Policy
Banking is a business that depends on interest rate differentials. The
difference between the interest rates paid by Valley Bank on its deposits and
other borrowings and the interest rates received on loans extended to its
customers and on securities held in its portfolio comprises the major portion of
Valley Bank's earnings.
The earnings and growth of Valley Bank will be affected not only by general
economic conditions, both domestic and foreign, but also by the monetary and
fiscal policies of the United States and its agencies, particularly the Federal
Reserve. The Federal Reserve implements national monetary policy by its open
market operations in United States government securities, adjustments in the
amount of industry reserves that banks and other financial institutions are
required to maintain and adjustments to the discount rates applicable to
borrowings by banks from the Federal Reserve. The actions of the Federal Reserve
in these areas influence the growth of bank loans, investments and deposits and
also affect interest rates charged and paid on deposits. We cannot predict the
nature and impact of any future changes in monetary policies.
48
<PAGE>
Recent Legislative Developments
The United States Congress periodically adopts legislation that impacts
both banks and other financial institutions. Legislation of this type could
further deregulate the financial services industry and lift remaining geographic
restrictions on banks and bank holding companies and current prohibitions
against banks engaging in certain non-banking activities and nonbanks engaging
in banking activities. These legislative changes could place us in more direct
competition with other financial institutions, including mutual funds,
securities brokerage firms, insurance companies and investment banking firms. On
the other hand, legislation could impose further restrictions on banks which
might limit the services or products banks offer, the manner in which they may
be offered, or the cost of offering them. Because of these uncertainties, we
cannot predict what legislation might be enacted, and if enacted, the effect
thereof.

UNDERWRITING
Valley Financial has entered into an underwriting agreement with Davenport
& Company LLC with respect to the shares being offered. This is a firm
commitment underwriting. This means that the underwriter has agreed to purchase
all of the shares offered by this prospectus (other than those offered by the
over-allotment option described below) if any are purchased.
If the underwriter sells more than the 200,000 shares, the underwriter has
an over-allotment option to buy up to an additional 30,000 shares of common
stock from us to cover such sales. The underwriter may exercise this option for
30 days from the date of this prospectus at the public offering price set forth
on the cover page of this prospectus less the underwriting discount.
At our request the underwriter has reserved up to 50,000 shares of common
stock for sale to our current directors at the public offering price on the
cover of this prospectus. The number of shares available for sale to the general
public in the offering will be reduced to the extent these persons purchase
these reserved shares. Any reserved shares not purchased will be offered to the
general public on the same basis as the other shares offered by this prospectus.
The following table shows the per share and total underwriting discount to
be paid to the underwriter by us. The underwriter will receive an underwriting
discount of 1% for shares sold to our current directors and 7% for shares sold
to all other investors. Such amounts are shown assuming both no exercise and
full exercise of the underwriter's option to purchase 30,000 additional shares.
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
No Exercise Full Exercise
----------- -------------
<S> <C> <C>
Per share to public......................... $ $
Per share to directors......................
Total.......................................
</TABLE>
We estimate that the total expenses of this offering payable by us will be
approximately $ , excluding underwriting discounts.
The underwriter has advised us that it proposes to offer the shares
directly to the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover page
of this prospectus. The underwriter may offer some of the shares directly to
certain securities dealers at such price less a concession of $_______ per
share. The underwriter may also allow, and such dealers may reallow, a
concession not in excess of $______ per share to certain other dealers. If all
the shares are not sold at the initial public offering price, the underwriter
may change the offering price and the other selling terms.
Valley Financial, its directors and senior officers have agreed with the
underwriter not to dispose of or hedge any of their common stock and securities
that are exchangeable or exercisable for shares of common stock for a period of
180 days after the date of this prospectus, without the prior written consent of
the underwriter.
There is a limited public market for our common stock, with an average
trading volume of only 3,000 shares per week since January 1, 2000. See "Market
for Common Stock". The public offering price for the shares will be determined
by negotiations between the underwriter and us. We and the underwriter expect to
consider a number of factors including prevailing market conditions, the current
market for our stock, market prices and demand for common stock of other similar
publicly-traded companies, the history of and prospects for our industry and for
financial institutions generally, an assessment of our management, our present
operations, our historical results of operations, the trend of our revenues and
earnings and our earnings prospects. Neither we nor the underwriter can assure
investors that an active trading market will develop for the common stock, or
that the common stock will trade in the public market at or above the public
offering price.
In connection with this offering, the underwriter may purchase and sell
shares of our common stock in the open market. These transactions may include
short sales, stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover positions created
by short sales. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriter of a greater
number of shares than they are required to purchase in this offering.
Stabilizing transactions consist of certain bids or purchases made for the
purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the common
stock while this offering is in process.
The underwriter may also impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a
particular selected dealer repays to the underwriter a portion of the
underwriting discount received by it because the underwriter has repurchased
shares sold by or for the account of such selected dealer in stabilizing or
short covering transactions.
50
<PAGE>
These activities by the underwriter may stabilize, maintain or otherwise
affect the market price of the common stock. As a result, the price of the
common stock may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open
market. If these activities are commenced, they may be discontinued by the
underwriter at any time. These transactions may be effected on the OTC Bulletin
Board or otherwise.
Davenport and other dealers may engage in passive market-making
transactions in our stock in accordance with Rule 103 of Regulation M,
promulgated by the SEC. In general, a passive market maker may not purchase or
bid for common stock at a price that exceeds the highest independent bid. The
net daily purchases made by any passive market maker generally may not exceed
30% of its average daily trading volume in the stock during a specified two-
month period, or 200 shares, whichever is greater. A passive market maker must
identify passive market-making bids as such on the Nasdaq reporting system.
Passive market making may stabilize or maintain the market price of our common
stock above independent levels. The underwriter and dealers are not required to
engage in these activities and may cease doing so at any time.
The underwriter presently makes a market in our common stock and intends to
continue doing so after completing this offering.
Valley Financial has also agreed to reimburse Davenport for up to $25,000
of its out-of-pocket costs and expenses and to indemnify the underwriter against
certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933.

VALLEY FINANCIAL CORPORATION
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2000
(Unaudited)
(In thousands, except share and per share data)
(1) Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Valley Financial Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated
under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia on March 15,
1994, primarily to serve as a holding company for Valley Bank
(the "Bank"), which opened for business on May 15, 1995. The
Company's fiscal year end is December 31.
The consolidated financial statements of the Company conform
to generally accepted accounting principles and to general
banking industry practices. The interim period consolidated
financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of
management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature which
are necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated
financial statements herein have been included. The
consolidated financial statements herein should be read in
conjunction with the Company's 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-
KSB.
The Company reports its activities as a single business
segment. In determining the appropriateness of segment
definition, the Company considers components of the business
about which financial information is available and regularly
evaluated relative to resource allocation and performance
assessment.
(2) Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash
equivalents include cash and due from banks.

(6) Comprehensive Income
On January 1, 1998, The Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income.
This Statement establishes standards for reporting and
presentation of comprehensive income and its components in a
full set of general purpose financial statements. This
Statement was issued to address concerns over the practice of
reporting elements of comprehensive income directly in equity.
The Company is required to classify items of "Other
Comprehensive Income" (such as net unrealized gains (losses)
on securities available for sale) by their nature in a
financial statement. It does not require a specific format for
that financial statement but requires the Company to display
an amount representing comprehensive income for the period in
that financial statement. The Company is required to present
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. It does not require per share amounts of
comprehensive income to be disclosed.
The adoption of Statement 130 on January 1, 1998 did not have
any effect on the consolidated financial position, results of
operations or liquidity of the Company. However, Statement 130
does have an effect on financial statement displays presented
by the Company since the Company has net unrealized gains
(losses) on available-for-sale securities, an item of other
comprehensive income. For the six months ended June 30, 2000
and 1999, total comprehensive income (loss) was $679 and
$(300), respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2000
and 1999, total comprehensive income (loss) was $366 and
$(391), respectively.

VALLEY FINANCIAL CORPORATION
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 1999 and 1998
(In thousands except share and per share data)
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) General
The accounting and reporting policies of Valley Financial
Corporation ("the Company") and Valley Bank ("the Bank") conform
to generally accepted accounting principles and to general
banking industry practices. The Bank provides traditional
commercial banking services concentrated primarily in the Roanoke
Valley. The Bank does not currently offer trust services;
however, the Bank does refer customers to a provider of trust
services in exchange for a fee.
The following is a summary of the more significant accounting
policies:
(b) Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, the Bank, collectively
referred to hereinafter as the Corporation. All significant
inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.
(c) Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents
include cash and due from banks.
(d) Securities
Investments are classified in three categories and accounted for
as follows: (1) debt securities that the Corporation has the
positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as
securities held-to-maturity" and reported at amortized cost; (2)
debt and equity securities that are bought and held principally
for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified
as "trading securities" and reported at fair value, with
unrealized gains and losses included in net income; and (3) debt
and equity securities not classified as either held-to-maturity
securities or trading securities are classified as "securities
available-for-sale" and reported at fair value, with unrealized
gains and losses excluded from net income and reported in a
separate component of shareholders' equity.
The Corporation does not currently maintain a trading securities
portfolio and there were no securities classified as held-to-
maturity at December 31, 1999 or 1998. Gains or losses on
disposition, if any, are based on the net proceeds and adjusted
carrying values of the securities called or sold, using the
specific identification method. A decline in value of any
available-for-sale or held-to-maturity security below cost deemed
other than temporary is charged directly to net income, resulting
in the establishment of a new cost basis for the security.
(e) Required Investments
F-15
<PAGE>
As members of the Federal Reserve and the Federal Home Loan Bank
(FHLB) of Atlanta, the Bank is required to maintain certain
minimum investments in the common stock of those entities.
Required levels of investment are based upon the Bank's capital
and a percentage of qualifying assets. In addition, the Bank is
eligible to borrow from the FHLB with borrowings collateralized
by qualifying assets, primarily residential mortgage loans, and
the Bank's capital stock investment in the FHLB (see notes 3 and
4). At December 31, 1999, the Bank's available borrowing limit
was approximately $15,000. The Bank had $10,000 in borrowings
outstanding at December 31, 1999. Advances of $5,000 were
outstanding at December 31, 1998.
The borrowing consists of two $5,000 advances. One advance is due
in 2004 and bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.92 percent. The
other advance is due 2009 and bears interest at a fixed rate of
5.46 percent. After the first year, both advances are convertible
to variable rate at the prevailing three month LIBOR, at the
option of the FHLB.
(f) Loans, Allowance for Loan Losses, Loan Fees and Costs
Loans are stated at the amount of unpaid principal, reduced by
unearned fees on loans, and an allowance for loan losses. Income
is recognized over the terms of the loans using methods which
approximate the level yield method. The allowance for loan losses
is a valuation allowance consisting of the cumulative effect of
the provision for loan losses, plus any amounts recovered on
loans previously charged off, minus loans charged off. The
provision for loan losses charged to operating expenses is the
amount necessary in management's judgment to maintain the
allowance for loan losses at a level it believes sufficient to
cover losses in the collection of its loans. Management
determines the adequacy of the allowance based upon reviews of
individual credits, recent loss experience, delinquencies,
current economic conditions, the risk characteristics of the
various categories of loans and other pertinent factors. Loans
are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management
believes the collectibility of the principal is unlikely. While
management uses available information to recognize losses on
loans, future additions to the allowance for loan losses may be
necessary based on changes in economic conditions. In addition,
various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their
examination process, periodically review the Bank's allowance for
loan losses. Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize
additions to the allowance for loan losses based on their
judgments about information available to them at the time of
their examinations.
Interest related to nonaccrual loans is recognized on the cash
basis. Loans are generally placed in nonaccrual status when the
collection of principal and interest is 90 days or more past due,
unless the obligation is both well-secured and in the process of
collection.
Impaired loans are presented in the financial statements at the
present value of the expected future cash flows or at the fair
value of the loan's collateral. Homogeneous loans such as real
estate mortgage loans, individual consumer loans, home equity
loans and bankcard loans are evaluated collectively for
impairment. Management, considering current information and
events regarding the borrowers ability to repay their
obligations, considers a loan to be impaired when it is probable
that the Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due according
to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.
F-16
<PAGE>
Impairment losses are included in the allowance for loan losses
through a charge to the provision for loan losses. Cash receipts
on impaired loans receivable are applied first to reduce interest
on such loans to the extent of interest contractually due and any
remaining amounts are applied to principal.
Loan origination and commitment fees and certain direct loan
origination costs charged by the Bank are deferred and the net
amount amortized as an adjustment of the related loan's yield
over the contractual life of the related loan or, in the case of
demand loans, over the estimated life. Net fees related to
letters of credit are recognized over the commitment period.
(g) Premises and Equipment
Premises and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated
depreciation and amortization. Depreciation on buildings,
equipment, furniture and fixtures, and amortization of leasehold
improvements is computed by straight-line over the shorter of the
estimated useful lives of the assets or the related lease term.
Estimated useful lives for assets include land improvements and
leasehold improvements, 3 to 15 years, buildings, 30 years, and
furniture, fixtures and equipment, 3 to 10 years. The cost of
assets retired and sold and the related accumulated depreciation
and amortization are eliminated from the accounts and the
resulting gains or losses are included in determining net income.
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense
as incurred, and improvements are capitalized.
(h) Organizational Costs
Organizational costs incurred during the development stage of the
Corporation have been capitalized and are being amortized using
the straight-line method over five years.
(i) Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability
method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of
existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases
and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those
temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in
tax rates is recognized in net income in the period that includes
the enactment date.
(j) Stock Options
The Corporation accounts for its stock option plan in accordance
with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation, which permits entities to recognize as expense over
the vesting period the fair value of all stock-based awards on
the date of grant. Alternatively, SFAS No. 123 also allows
entities to continue to apply the provisions of APB Opinion 25,
which requires compensation expense to be recorded on the date of
grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock
exceeds the exercise price, and provide pro forma net
F-17
<PAGE>
income and pro forma earnings per share disclosures for employee
stock option grants made in 1995 and future years as if the fair-
value-based method defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied. The
Corporation has elected to continue to apply the provisions of
APB Opinion No. 25 and provide the pro forma disclosure
provisions of SFAS No. 123.
(k) Net Income Per Share
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings per
Share. Statement 128 establishes new standards for computing and
presenting earnings per share (EPS) and applies to entities with
publicly held common stock or potential common stock. It replaces
the presentation of primary EPS with a presentation of basic EPS.
It also requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS on
the face of the income statement for all entities with complex
capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator
and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and
denominator of the diluted EPS computation.
Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income
available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number
of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects
the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other
contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into
common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that
then shared in the earnings of the entity. The following is a
reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic
and diluted EPS computations for the periods indicated:

(l) Off-Balance-Sheet Financial Instruments
In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has entered into
off-balance-sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments
to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Such financial
instruments are recorded in the financial statements when they
become payable.
(m) Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments
of Liabilities
The Corporation adopted the provisions of Statement No. 125,
Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishments of Liabilities, on January 1, 1997. This
Statement provides accounting and reporting standards for
transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments
of liabilities based on consistent application of a financial-
components approach that
F-18
<PAGE>
focuses on control. Under that approach, after a transfer of
financial assets, an entity recognizes the financial and
servicing assets it controls and the liabilities it has incurred,
derecognizes financial assets when control has been surrendered,
and derecognizes liabilities when extinguished. This Statement
provides consistent standards for distinguishing transfers of
financial assets that are sales from transfers that are secured
borrowings. This Statement also provides implementation guidance
for assessing isolation of transferred assets and for accounting
for transfers of partial interests, servicing of financial
assets, securitizations, transfers of sales-type and direct
financing lease receivables, securities lending transactions,
repurchase agreements including "dollar rolls," "wash sales,"
loan syndications and participations, risk participations in
banker's acceptances, factoring arrangements, transfers of
receivables with recourse, and extinguishments of liabilities.
Statement No. 127, Deferral of the Effective Date of Certain
Provisions of Statement 125, issued in December 1996, deferred
until January 1, 1998 the effective date (a) of paragraph 15 of
Statement 125 and (b) for repurchase agreement, dollar-roll,
securities lending, and similar transactions, of paragraphs 9 -12
and 237(b) of Statement 125. Statement 125 was required to be
adopted on a prospective basis and its adoption did not have a
material impact on the Corporation's financial position, results
of operations or liquidity.
(n) Comprehensive Income
On January 1, 1998, the Corporation adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive
Income. This Statement establishes standards for reporting and
presentation of comprehensive income and its components in a full
set of general purpose financial statements. This Statement was
issued to address concerns over the practice of reporting
elements of comprehensive income directly in equity.
The Corporation is required to classify items of "Other
Comprehensive Income" (such as net unrealized gains (losses) on
securities available for sale) by their nature in a financial
statement and present the accumulated balance of other
comprehensive income (loss) separately from retained earnings and
additional paid-in-capital in the equity section of a statement
of financial position. It does not require per share amounts of
comprehensive income to be disclosed.
In accordance with the provisions of the Statement, the
Corporation has included Consolidated Statements of Income and
Comprehensive Income (Loss) in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements. Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net
income and net unrealized gains and losses on securities
available for sale. Also, accumulated other comprehensive income
(loss) is included as a separate disclosure within the
Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders' Equity in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements. The adoption of
Statement 130 did not have any effect on the Corporation's
consolidated financial position, results of operation or
liquidity.
(o) Use of Estimates
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is
required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the
consolidated balance
F-19
<PAGE>
sheets and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the
years presented. Actual results could differ significantly from
those estimates.
A material estimate that is particularly susceptible to
significant change in the near term relates to the determination
of the allowance for loan losses. In connection with the
determination of the allowance for loan losses, management
obtains independent appraisals for significant properties.
Management believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate.
While management uses available information to recognize losses
on loans, future additions to the allowance for loan losses may
be necessary based on changes in economic conditions. In
addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of
their examination process, periodically review the Bank's
allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Bank to
recognize additions to the allowance for loan losses based on
their judgments about information available to them at the time
of their examinations.
(p) Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years'
consolidated financial statements to place them on a basis
comparable with the 1999 consolidated financial statements.
(q) Recent Accounting Developments
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.
Statement 133 establishes standards for accounting and reporting
for derivative instruments, including certain instruments
embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities. It
requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either
assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and
measure those instruments at fair value. Statement 133 was issued
to establish guidelines over the accounting and reporting of
derivative instruments and hedging activities.
Statement 133 shall be effective for all fiscal quarters of all
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. Initial application
of this Statement shall be as of the beginning of an entity's
fiscal quarter. Earlier application of all of the provisions of
this Statement is encouraged but is permitted only as of the
beginning of any fiscal quarter that begins after issuance of
this Statement. Earlier application of selected provisions of
this Statement is not permitted. This Statement shall not be
applied retroactively to financial statements of prior periods.
Adoption of Statement 133 on January 1, 2000 did not have any
effect on the Bank's consolidated financial position, results of
operation or liquidity.
(2) Restrictions on Cash
To comply with Federal Reserve regulations, the Bank will be required
to maintain certain average reserve balances. There were no daily
reserve requirements for the weeks including December 31, 1999 and 1998
as the Bank had not met minimum average deposit levels under the
current provisions of the regulations.

(4) Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses
In the normal course of business, the Bank has made loans to officers,
directors and/or related interests. At December 31, 1999 and 1998,
$3,736 and $3,482, respectively, represented direct loans to officers
and directors and $691 and $1,109, respectively, represented loans made
to related interests of officers or directors and/or endorsed by
officers or directors.

The Bank is not committed to lend additional funds to debtors whose
loans have been modified.
Loans approximating $12,435 and $12,896 and consisting primarily of
residential mortgage loans collaterialized the line of credit available
from the Federal Home Loan Bank at December 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively. In order to meet potential funding demands as a result
Y2K issues the Bank established a line of credit at the Federal Reserve
Bank of Richmond of approximately $22 million. The line of credit is
collaterialized by the Bank's commercial real estate loans of
approximately $34 million at December 31, 1999. The line was not drawn
against and was closed subsequent to year end.

original term of five years with the option of two additional renewal
terms of five years each. In addition, the Bank has entered into a
lease for a branch location which opened in January 1997. The original
lease term is for twelve years with an option to renew for one
additional five-year term. Rental expenses under operating leases were
approximately $107 and $94 for 1999 and 1998, respectively. Future
minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases were as

(7) Employee Benefit Plan
The Corporation has a defined contribution plan (the Plan) qualifying
under IRS Code Section 401(k). Eligible participants in the Plan can
contribute up to 15 percent of their total annual compensation to the
Plan. Employee contributions are matched by the Corporation based on a
percentage of 25 percent in 1998, and 75 percent in 1999 of the
employee's contribution up to a total of 6 percent of the employee's
salary. For the years ended December 31, 1999, and 1998 the Corporation
contributed $36 and $10 to the Plan, respectively.
(8) Stock Options
The Company has an Incentive Stock Plan (the Plan) pursuant to which
the Human Resource Committee of the Company's Board of Directors may
grant stock options to officers and key employees. The Plan authorizes
grants of options to purchase up to 103,950 shares (adjusted for stock
split) of the Company's authorized, but unissued common stock.
Accordingly, 103,950 shares of authorized, but unissued common stock
are reserved for use in the Plan. All stock options have been granted
with an exercise price equal to the stock's fair market value at the
date of grant. Stock options generally have 10-year terms, vest at the
rate of 20 percent per year, and become fully exercisable five years
from the date of grant. In addition, certain options for 10,122 and
20,244 shares (adjusted for stock split) based on meeting certain
performance criteria were granted to executive officers during 1999 and
1998, respectively.
The per share weighted average fair value of stock options granted
during 1999 and 1998 was $7.66 and $8.14, respectively, on the date of
grant utilizing the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the
following weighted average assumptions:
1999 1998
---------- ----------
Expected split yield 0% 0%
Risk-free interest rate 7.0% 6.25%
Expected life of options (in years) 10 7.5
Expected volatility of stock price 12% 30%
As previously mentioned, the Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 in
accounting for its Plan and, accordingly, no compensation cost has been
recognized for its stock options in the consolidated financial
statements. Had the Company determined compensation cost based on the
fair value of its stock options at the grant date under SFAS No. 123,
the Company's net income and net income per share would have decreased
to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

At December 31, 1999, the range of exercise prices and weighted average
remaining contractual life of outstanding options was $8.33 - $16.67
and 7.5 years, respectively (adjusted for stock split).
At December 31, 1999 and 1998, the number of options exercisable was
74,487 and 59,241, respectively, and the weighted average exercise
price of those options was $9.51 and $9.49, respectively (adjusted for
stock split).
(9) Restrictions on Payments of Dividends and Capital Requirements
The Company's principal source of funds for dividend payments is
dividends received from the Bank. The amount of dividends that may be
paid by the Bank to the Company will depend on the Bank's earnings and
capital position and is limited by state law, regulations and policies.
A state bank may not pay dividends from its capital; all dividends must
be paid out of net undivided profits then on hand. Before any dividend
is declared, any deficit in capital funds originally paid in shall have
been restored by earnings to their initial level, and no dividend shall
be declared or paid by any bank which would impair the paid-in-capital
of the bank. As of December 31,1999, the amount available for payment
of dividends is $934. As of December 31, 1998, the Bank was in a
deficit position, and, accordingly, no amounts were available for
payment of dividends.
The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital
requirements administered by the federal and state banking agencies.
Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain
mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators
that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the
F-27
<PAGE>
Corporation's consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy
guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action,
the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that
involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain
off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting
practices. The Company's and the Bank's capital amounts and
classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the
regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital
adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts
and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier I capital
(as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined),
and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined).
Management believes, as of December 31, 1999, that the Company and the
Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.
As of December 31, 1999, the Company and the Bank were categorized as
well capitalized as defined by applicable regulations. To be
categorized as well capitalized the Company and Bank must maintain
minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based and Tier I leverage ratios
as set forth in the table below. There are no conditions or events
since that date that management believes have changed the Company's or
the Bank's category.
The Company's and the Bank's actual capital amounts and ratios are also
presented in the table below.

(11) Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk
The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet
risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of
its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to
extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments may
involve, to
F-30
<PAGE>
varying degrees, credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the
balance sheets. The contract amounts of these instruments reflect the
extent of involvement the Bank has in particular classes of financial
instruments.
Credit risk is defined as the possibility of sustaining a loss because
the other parties to a financial instrument fail to perform in
accordance with the terms of the contract. The Bank's maximum exposure
to credit loss under commitments to extend credit and standby letters
of credit is represented by the contractual amount of these
instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making
commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet
instruments.
The Bank requires collateral to support financial instruments when it
is deemed necessary. The Bank evaluates customers' creditworthiness on
a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained upon extension
of credit is based on management's credit evaluation of the customer.
Collateral may include deposits held in financial institutions, U.S.
Treasury securities, other marketable securities, real estate, accounts
receivable, inventory, and property, plant and equipment. Financial
instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk as of December
31 are as follows:
1999 1998
------------- --------------
Commitments to extend credit $ 24,904 $ 18,542
Standby letters of credit $ 659 $ 1,361
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as
long as there is no violation of any condition established in the
contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other
termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Commitments may
be at fixed or variable rates and generally expire within one year.
Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being
drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent
future cash requirements.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the
Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. These
guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing
arrangements, including bond financing and similar transactions. Unless
renewed, substantially all of the Bank's credit commitments at December
31, 1999 will expire within one year. Management does not anticipate
any material losses as a result of these transactions. The credit risk
involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that
involved in extending loans to customers.
F-31
<PAGE>
(12) Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Bank grants commercial, residential and consumer loans to customers
primarily in the Roanoke Valley area. The Bank has a diversified loan
portfolio which is not dependent upon any particular economic or
industry sector. As a whole, the portfolio could be affected by general
economic conditions in the Roanoke Valley region.
A detailed composition of the Bank's loan portfolio is provided in the
consolidated financial statements. The Bank's commercial loan portfolio
is diversified, with no significant concentrations of credit.
Commercial real estate loans are generally collateralized by the
related property. The residential real estate loan portfolio consists
principally of loans collateralized by 1-4 family residential property.
The loans to individuals portfolio consists of consumer loans primarily
for home improvements, automobiles, personal property and other
consumer purposes. These loans are generally collateralized by the
related property. Overall, the Bank's loan portfolio is not
concentrated within a single industry or group of industries, the loss
of any one or more of which would generate a materially adverse impact
on the business of the Bank.
The Bank has established operating policies relating to the credit
process and collateral in loan originations. Loans to purchase real and
personal property are generally collateralized by the related property.
Credit approval is principally a function of collateral and the
evaluation of the creditworthiness of the borrower based on available
financial information.
(13) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, Disclosures about
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires the Corporation to
disclose estimated fair values of its financial instruments.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the
approximate fair value of each class of financial instrument for which
it is practicable to estimate that value:
(a) Cash and Due from Banks and Money Market Investments
The carrying amounts are a reasonable estimate of fair value.
(b) Securities
The fair value of securities, except certain state and municipal
securities, is estimated based on bid prices published in
financial newspapers or bid quotations received from securities
dealers.
The fair value of certain state and municipal securities is not
readily available through market sources other than dealer
quotations, so fair value estimates are based on quoted market
prices of similar instruments, adjusted for differences between
the quoted instruments and the instruments being valued.
(c) Loans
Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar
financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by type such as
F-32
<PAGE>
commercial, commercial real estate, residential real estate and
loans to individuals. Each loan category is further segmented into
fixed and adjustable rate interest terms.
The fair value of loans is calculated by discounting scheduled
cash flows through the estimated maturity using estimated market
discount rates that reflect the credit and interest rate risk
inherent in the loan as well as estimates for prepayments. The
estimate of maturity is based on the Bank's industry experience
with repayments for each loan classification, modified, as
required, by an estimate of the effect of current economic and
lending conditions.
(d) Deposits
The fair value of noninterest-bearing deposits, interest-bearing
deposits and savings deposits is the amount payable on demand. The
fair value of fixed maturity time deposits and certificates of
deposit is estimated using the rates currently offered for
deposits with similar remaining maturities.
(e) Commitments to Extend Credit and Standby Letters of Credit
The only amounts recorded for commitments to extend credit and
standby letters of credit are the deferred fees arising from these
unrecognized financial instruments. These deferred fees are not
deemed significant at December 31, 1999 and 1998, and as such, the
related fair values have not been estimated.
(f) Federal Home Loan Bank Advances
The fair value of fixed rate borrowings are estimated using
discounted cash flows based on current incremental borrowing rates
for similar types of borrowing arrangements.
(g) Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase
These agreements generally mature within one to seven days. The
carrying amounts are a reasonable estimate of fair value.
The carrying amounts and approximate fair values of the Corporation's
financial instruments are as follows at December 31, 1999 and 1998:

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on
relevant market information and information about the financial
instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that
could result from offering for sale at one time the Corporation's entire
holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market exists
for a significant portion of the Corporation's financial instruments,
fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected
loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of
various financial instruments and other factors. These estimates are
subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of
significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision.
Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
Fair value estimates are based on existing on and off-balance sheet
financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of
anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that
are not considered financial instruments. Significant assets that are
not considered financial assets include deferred tax assets and premises
and equipment. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the
realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant
effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in the
estimates.
(14) Time Deposits
At December 31, 1999, the approximate scheduled maturities of time
deposits are as follows:
1999 $ 53,420
2000 4,156
2001 4,068

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
Item 24. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Article 10 of Chapter 9 of Title 13.1 of the Code of Virginia, 1950,
as amended (the "Code"), permits a Virginia corporation to indemnify any
director or officer for reasonable expenses incurred in any legal proceeding in
advance of final disposition of the proceeding, if the director or officer
furnishes the corporation a written statement of his good faith belief that he
has met the standard of conduct prescribed by the Code, and a determination is
made by the board of directors that such standard has been met. In a proceeding
by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification shall be made in
respect of any matter as to which an officer or director is adjudged to be
liable to the corporation, unless the court in which the proceeding took place
determines that, despite such liability, such person is reasonably entitled to
indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances. In any other
proceeding, no indemnification shall be made if the director or officer is
adjudged liable to the corporation on the basis that personal benefit was
improperly received by him. Corporations are given the power to make any other
or further indemnity, including advances of expenses, to any director or officer
that may be authorized by the articles of incorporation or any bylaw made by the
shareholder, or any resolution adopted, before or after the event, by the
shareholders, except an indemnity against willful misconduct or a knowing
violation of the criminal law. Unless limited by its articles of incorporation,
indemnification of a director or officer is mandatory when he or she entirely
prevails in the defense of any proceeding to which he is a party because he is
or was a director or officer.

Item 28. Undertakings
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes as follows:
(1) The Registrant will file, during any period in which it offers or
sells securities, a post-effective amendment to this Registration
Statement to:
(i) include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act");
(ii) reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which,
individually or together, represent a fundamental change in
the information in the Registration Statement; and
(iii) include any additional or changed material information in
the plan of distribution.
(2) The Registrant will, for determining liability under the
Securities Act, treat each post-effective amendment as a new
registration statement of the securities offered, and the
Offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona
fide Offering.
(3) The Registrant will file a post-effective amendment to remove
from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the
end of the Offering.
(4) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
