OLD POINT FINANCIAL CORPORATION ANNOUNCES EARNINGS

• Fourth quarter 2007 net income up 12.6%

• 2007 earnings up 13.5%

HAMPTON, VA. Old Point Financial Corporation (Nasdaq “OPOF”) announced today fourth quarter net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2007 of $2.0 million, as compared to $1.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2006, an increase of 12.6%. Basic earnings per share for the quarter are $.42 and fully diluted net income per share is $.41.

Total assets at December 31, 2007 were $822.6 million, as compared with $847.5 million in 2006. The 3.0% decrease in assets reflects Old Point Financial Corporation’s continuing balance sheet realignment as maturing securities have been used to retire $45 million in Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances. Net loans increased by 2.3% to $592.0 million and total deposits increased by 1.3%, to $596.2 million.

Net income for the quarter was positively impacted by the net interest margin. Interest income rose by $72 thousand, or 0.6%, from the quarter ending December 31, 2006, and interest expense decreased by $52 thousand, or 0.9%. Interest expense decreased largely because of the repayment of $45 million in FHLB advances during 2007. The net interest margin therefore improved by $124 thousand, or 2.0% over the comparable quarter in 2006. Noninterest income for the fourth quarter of 2007 rose by $358 thousand over 2006, a 12.4% increase. The increase was led by increases in debit card income, service charges on deposit accounts and income from fiduciary services. Noninterest expense increased by $133 thousand, or 2.1% from the fourth quarter of 2006.

Fiscal Year 2007 Results

Net income for 2007 was $8.0 million, as compared with 2006 net income of $7.0 million, an increase of 13.5%. Return on Average Assets (ROA) for 2007 was 0.97%, and Return on Average Equity (ROE) was 10.29%.

Net interest income after provision for loan losses for 2007 was $24.7 million as compared with $23.4 million in 2006, an increase of 5.4%. Total interest income rose by 9.2% or $4.1 million, and was partially offset by an increase of total interest expense of $3.1 million, or 15.2%.

Total non interest income for 2007 was $12.5 million, up 9.5%, or $1.1 million over 2006. Income from fiduciary activities contributed $447 thousand to the increase.

Non interest expenses increased by $842 thousand, or 3.3% over 2006. Salaries and employee benefits were the largest component of the increase, growing at a rate of 4.9%.

Net Interest Margin (NIM) on a fully tax equivalent basis for 2007 was 3.42%, unchanged from 2006 NIM.

Non-Performing Assets (NPAs) as a percentage of total assets were at 0.38% at the end of 2007, compared with 0.17% at the end of 2006. NPAs at December 31, 2007 totaled $3.2 million, as compared with $1.5 million at the end of 2006. NPAs for 2007 consisted of $621 thousand in loans 90 days or more past due but still accruing interest, $1.3 million in restructured debt, $1.1 million in other real estate owned (OREO), and $84 thousand in non-accrual loans. The $1.1 million in OREO consists of two residential properties acquired in December 2007 and carried at market value, and an undeveloped branch site.

Loans Charged Off (net of recoveries) totaled $654 thousand in 2007, versus $864 thousand in 2006.

Provision for Loan Losses in 2007 decreased by $200 thousand, to $1.0 million, owing to the favorable decrease in loan losses.

Basic earnings per share for 2007 were $1.61 as compared with $1.41 in 2006, and diluted earnings per share were $1.59 and $1.39, respectively. The Company paid out $0.61 in dividends per common share during 2007. Earnings and dividends have been adjusted to reflect the 5-for-4 stock split in the form of a dividend in October, 2007.
