VIRGINIA FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.

ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER 2007 RESULTS AND MERGER

APPROVAL FROM FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD

Charlottesville, VA, October 23, 2007—Virginia Financial Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: VFGI) announced today that the Federal Reserve Board has approved its merger application with FNB Corporation. Approvals from the Virginia State Corporation Commission and stockholders of VFG and FNB are pending. The merger is expected to close late in the fourth quarter, subject to remaining approvals and other customary closing conditions.

“Receiving this Federal Reserve approval is a significant event that will assist us in moving ahead with the merger in a timely manner,” said O. R. Barham, Jr. President, and Chief Executive Officer of VFG. “Integration planning teams are making very good progress and we look forward to delivering the benefits of this merger to our shareholders, customers, and communities.”

VFG also today reported its third quarter 2007 earnings of $4.3 million, down 14.7% from $5.1 million for the third quarter of 2006. Net income per diluted share was $0.40, down 14.9% from $0.47 for the same period in 2006. For the first nine months of 2007, net income was $12.9 million, down 12.8% from $14.8 million for the same period in 2006. Net income per diluted share was $1.19, down 12.5% from $1.36 for the first nine months of 2006.

O.R. Barham, Jr., President and CEO, commented “We are pleased with our earnings in the face of a difficult operating environment for banks during the quarter. The quarter saw some improvement in loan production in spite of continuing high levels of pre-payment activity. More importantly, a substantial portion of the loan growth for the period was to commercial and industrial clients, an area of focus for our lending platform. We had a very successful third quarter with our High Performance Checking Program, originating over 3,600 new DDA accounts with balances approaching $12 million. These accounts will continue to add balances and fee income in the future. Asset quality in general remains very good, although we did experience an increase in nonperforming assets and watch list credits which necessitated some additional loan loss provisioning for the quarter.”


Financial Performance

Net Interest Income

Net interest income amounted to $14.4 million for the third quarter of 2007, down $767 thousand or 5.1% compared with $15.2 million for the same quarter in 2006. The net interest margin for the third quarter of 2007 was 4.06%, down fifteen basis points when compared to 4.21% for the third quarter of 2006. Higher funding costs associated with competition for deposits in local markets and greater use of wholesale funding, coupled with a lower rate of growth in loans receivable and average earning assets, led to this decrease in net interest margin and revenues for the period.

On a sequential basis, the net interest margin was down seven basis points from the 4.13% for the second quarter (normalized for previously disclosed interest adjustment on a participation loan). This drop was due in most part to a drop in asset yields sequentially, with an average yield on assets of 6.87% for the third quarter of 2007, compared to 6.99% for the second quarter of 2007 and 6.78% for the third quarter of 2006. Loan yields were impacted by prepayment activity, the Federal Open Market Committee recent reduction of the Fed funds target rate which led to a fifty basis point decrease in the prime rate and an increase in non-accruals for the period. On a linked quarter basis, the average cost of interest bearing liabilities remained stable at 3.43% for the both the second and third quarters of 2007 and increased twenty-four basis points when compared to 3.19% for the third quarter of 2006.

The net interest margin for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 was 4.11%, compared to 4.31% for the same period in 2006. Continuing pressures of a flat yield curve, loan prepayment activity, strong competition for deposits and increased use of wholesale funding contributed to this contraction.

Given that approximately 34% of VFG’s loan portfolio immediately repriced with the fifty basis point decrease in the prime rate during the third quarter, and the fact that VFG’s balance sheet is a slightly asset sensitive balance sheet, some additional margin contraction is anticipated in the fourth quarter.

Non-Interest Income

Total non-interest income was $4.3 million for both the second and third quarters of 2007 and up 4.7% compared with $4.1 million for the third quarter of 2006. Retail banking fee income increased $215 thousand or 12.0% to $2.0 million, compared to $1.8 million in the third quarter of 2006. The increase in retail banking fee income is attributable to increased NSF fees and debit card fee income, partly attributable to the High Performance Checking Account Program. Mortgage banking revenue amounted to $602 thousand, a decrease of $84 thousand or 12.2%, as compared to $686 thousand for the third quarter of 2006, and down sequentially $43 thousand or 6.7% from the second quarter of 2007. Revenues from trust and brokerage for the third quarter were $1.0 million, up $143 thousand or 15.9% compared to $897 thousand in the third quarter of 2006, and down sequentially $111 thousand or 9.6% from the second quarter of 2007. Fiduciary and brokerage assets under management were $617 million at September 30, 2007, down from $633 million at June 30, 2007. Included in other non-interest income during third quarter 2007 was income associated with an investment in bank owned life insurance of $135 thousand for the third quarter 2007 and $379 thousand for the nine month period, compared to $119 thousand in 2006 for each period, respectively.

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expense for the third quarter of 2007 amounted to $12.4 million, up $463 thousand or 3.9% from $11.9 million for the same period in 2006, and down sequentially $466 thousand or 3.6% from the second quarter of 2007. Compensation and benefits decreased $402 thousand or 5.7% sequentially from second quarter 2007 and $72 thousand or 1.0% compared to third quarter 2006, reflecting reductions


associated with five branch closings during the quarter and previous initiatives to improve efficiency. Marketing increases of $87 thousand or 22.1% sequentially, and $148 thousand or 44.6% as compared to the third quarter of 2006 are attributable to the previously announced High Performance Checking Account Program. Other expense increased $102 thousand or 5.6% from second quarter 2007, and $220 thousand or 12.56% compared to third quarter 2006, reflecting an increase in various fraud related losses ($198 thousand) incurred during the quarter in the normal course of business.

For the nine month period ended September 30, 2007, non-interest expense amounted to $37.5 million, an increase of $2.7 million or 7.7% over $34.9 million for the same period in 2006. This increase reflects incremental operating costs primarily in compensation, occupancy and supplies of $1.3 million associated with four branches and two loan production offices during 2006 and 2007, respectively. Additionally, the DDA account acquisition initiative mentioned previously contributed approximately $355 thousand to this increase during the nine month period. VFG’s efficiency ratio was 64.7% for the quarter, compared to 60.8% for the same quarter in 2006. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2007, the efficiency ratio was 65.0%, compared to 59.6% for the same period in 2006.

Loan Portfolio

Average loans for the third quarter were $1.20 billion, up $7.3 million or 0.6% from the third quarter of 2006, and down sequentially from $1.21 billion from the second quarter of 2007. Loans receivable at the end of the quarter were up $16.4 million or 1.4% for the quarter and up $6.3 million or 0.5% over the last twelve months. Loan growth has improved in the third quarter largely due to positive results from our new loan production office in Richmond, Virginia. The commercial and industrial segment of the portfolio increased $17.0 million or 17.0% sequentially from the second quarter of 2007. The real estate construction component of the portfolio increased $10.1 million or 4.7% from the second quarter of 2007. Commercial real estate continued to see accelerated payoff activity, with that component down $17.4 million or 3.3% sequentially. While pay-offs are consistent with market conditions, this decrease is also consistent with VFG’s strategy to improve the diversification in the loan portfolio.

Deposits and Borrowings

Average deposits for the third quarter were $1.20 billion, down $81.8 million or 6.4% from the third quarter of 2006, and down sequentially $42.8 million from the second quarter of 2007. Period end deposits were also down $62.9 million or 5.1% sequentially. Decreases were noted in each category. Average noninterest bearing deposits have decreased $31.1 million or 12.3% from the third quarter of 2006. Average certificates of deposits were down $17.6 million or 2.9% sequentially, with the average cost of such funding improving from 4.35% to 4.18% for the period. Average borrowings for the third quarter amounted to $203.5 million, an increase of $55.3 million or 37.3% compared to the same period in 2006, and up sequentially $30.6 million or 17.7% from the second quarter of 2007. If this trend of decrease in deposits and increased reliance on wholesale funding continues, the net interest margin could be negatively impacted in future quarters.

Capital

At both September 30, 2007 and 2006 VFG had total assets of $1.59 billion. Shareholder’s equity at September 30, 2007 was $159.2 million, an increase of $12.0 million or 8.2% compared to September 30, 2006. Shareholder’s equity represented 10.03% of total assets at September 30, 2007, while tangible equity capital represented 9.04% of tangible assets at September 30, 2007. Book value at September 30, 2007 was $14.74 per share, compared to $13.67 at September 30, 2006.


Asset Quality

VFG’s ratio of non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets amounted to 0.47% as of September 30, 2007, compared to 0.18% at September 30, 2006 and 0.20% at June 30, 2007. Net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans receivable amounted to 0.03% for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, compared to net recoveries of (0.02%) for the same period in 2006. At September 30, 2007, the allowance for loan losses was approximately two times the level of non-performing assets, while the allowance as a percentage of total loans amounted to 1.21%. VFG recorded a provision for loan losses of $200 thousand for the third quarter, compared to no provision for the three months ended September 30, 2006. The increase in non-performing assets and provision for loan losses is a result of a $4.1 million commercial credit that was put on nonaccrual status during the quarter coupled with a continuing decline in the real estate market conditions in VFG’s primary markets. For the nine month period, the provision for loan losses amounted to $365 thousand, compared to net charge-offs of $248 thousand for the period.

Merger with FNB Corporation

VFG announced the signing of an agreement to combine in a merger of equals transaction with FNB Corporation on July 26, 2007 to create the largest independent bank holding company headquartered in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This report refers to the efficiency ratio, which is computed by dividing non-interest expense by the sum of net interest income on a tax equivalent basis and non-interest income excluding gains or losses on securities, fixed assets and foreclosed assets. This is a non-GAAP financial measure that we believe provides investors with important information regarding our operational efficiency. Comparison of our efficiency ratio with those of other companies may not be possible, because other companies may calculate the efficiency ratio differently. Such information is not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and should not be construed as such. Management believes such financial information is meaningful to the reader in understanding operating performance, but cautions that such information not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP. VFG, in referring to its net income, is referring to income under generally accepted accounting principles, or “GAAP.”

Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

In addition to historical information, this press release contains forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results, or those anticipated. When we use words such as “believes”, “expects”, “anticipates” or similar expressions, we are making forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s analysis only as of the date thereof. VFG wishes to caution the reader that factors, such as those listed below, in some cases have affected and could affect VFG’s actual results, causing actual results to differ materially from those in any forward looking statement. These factors include: (i) expected cost savings from VFG’s acquisitions and dispositions, (ii) competitive pressure in the banking industry or in VFG’s markets may increase significantly, (iii) changes in the interest rate environment may reduce margins, (iv) general economic conditions, either nationally or regionally, may be less favorable than expected, resulting in, among other things, credit quality deterioration, (v) changes may occur in banking legislation and regulation (vi) changes may occur in general business conditions and (vii) changes may occur in the securities markets.
