CHERRY (the "Executive"). RECITALS I. The Executive currently serves as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Citizens and Farmers Bank, is a key member of management of the Company and its affiliates, and his services and knowledge are valuable to the Company and its affiliates. II. The Board (as defined below) has determined that it is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders to assure that the Company and its affiliates will have the continued dedication of the Executive, notwithstanding the possibility, threat or occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined below) of the Company. The Board believes it is imperative to diminish the inevitable distraction of the Executive by virtue of the personal uncertainties and risks created by a pending or threatened Change in Control and to encourage the Executive's full attention and dedication to the Company and its affiliates currently and in the event of any threatened or pending Change in Control. Therefore, in order to accomplish these objectives, the Board has caused the Company to enter into this Agreement. NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed as follows: 1. CERTAIN DEFINITIONS. ------------------- (a) "Agreement Effective Date" means August __, 1999. (b) The "Agreement Term" means the period commencing on the Agreement Effective Date and ending on the earlier of (i) the Agreement Regular Termination Date or (ii) the date this Agreement terminates pursuant to Section 7. The "Agreement Regular Termination Date" means the third anniversary of the Agreement Effective Date, provided, however, that commencing on the first anniversary of the Agreement Effective Date, and on each subsequent anniversary (such date and each subsequent anniversary shall be hereinafter referred to as the "Renewal Date"), unless this Agreement is previously terminated, the Agreement Regular Termination Date shall be automatically extended for three years from the latest Renewal Date, unless at least one month prior to the latest Renewal Date, the Company shall give notice to the Executive in accordance with Section 10(c) of this Agreement that the Agreement Regular Termination Date shall not be so extended. (c) "Board" means the Board of Directors of the Company. (d) "Cause" means: (i) the willful and continued failure of the Executive to substantially perform his duties with the Company or one of its affiliates (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness), after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to the Executive by the Board, pursuant to a vote of a majority of the Directors of the Company, which specifically identifies the manner in which the Directors of the Board believe that the Executive has not substantially performed his duties, or (ii) the willful engaging by the Executive in illegal conduct or gross misconduct which is materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company. 1 For purposes of this provision, no act or failure to act, on the part of the Executive, shall be considered "willful" unless it is done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive in bad faith or without reasonable belief that the Executive's action or omission was in the best interest of the Company. Any act, or failure to act, based upon authority given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Board or based upon the advice of counsel for the Company shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive in good faith and in the best interests of the Company. The cessation of employment of the Executive shall not be deemed to be for Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to the Executive a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than two-thirds of the members of the Board at a meeting of the Board called and held for such purpose (after reasonable notice is provided to the Executive in accordance with Section 10(c) of this Agreement and the Executive is given an opportunity, together with counsel, to be heard before the Board), finding that, in the good faith opinion of the Board, the Executive has engaged in the conduct described in paragraph (i) or (ii) above, and specifying the particulars thereof in detail. (e) The "Change in Control Date" means the first date during the Agreement Term on which a Change in Control (as defined in Section 2) occurs. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if a Change in Control occurs and if the Executive's employment with the Company is terminated prior to the date on which the Change in Control occurs, and if it is reasonably demonstrated by the Executive that such termination of employment either (i) was at the request of a third party who has taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change in Control or (ii) otherwise arose in connection with or anticipation of a Change in Control, then for all purposes of this Agreement the "Change in Control Date" shall mean the date immediately prior to the date of such termination of employment. (f) "Company" means C&F Financial Corporation, a Virginia corporation.

If the Company determines in good faith that the Disability of the Executive has occurred, it may give to the Executive written notice in accordance with Section 10(c) of this Agreement of its intention to terminate the Executive's employment. In such event, the Executive's employment with the Company shall terminate effective on the 30th day after receipt of such notice by the Executive (the "Disability Effective Date"), provided that, within the 30 days after such receipt, the Executive shall not have returned to full-time performance of his duties.

(ii) any event or condition described in paragraph (i) of this Section 1(i) which occurs on or after the Agreement Effective Date, but prior to a Change in Control, but was at the request of a third party who effectuates the Change in Control, notwithstanding that it occurred prior to the Change in Control, but such event or condition shall not be considered to actually have occurred until the Change in Control Date.

For purposes hereof: (i) "Notice of Termination" means a written notice given in accordance with Section 10(c) of this Agreement which (A) states whether such termination is for Cause, Good Reason or Disability, (B) indicates the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, if any, (C) to the extent applicable, sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive's employment under the provision so indicated, and (D) if the Date of Termination is other than the date of receipt of such notice, specifies the termination date. The failure by the Executive or the Company to set forth in the Notice of Termination any fact or circumstance which contributes to a showing of Good Reason, Cause or Disability shall not waive any right of the Executive or the Company, respectively, hereunder or preclude the Executive or the Company, respectively, from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing the Executive's or the Company's rights hereunder. (ii) "Date of Termination" means (A) if the Executive's employment is terminated by reason of Disability, the Disability 5 Effective Date, (B) if the Executive's employment is terminated by the Company for any reason other than Disability, the date of the Executive's receipt of the Notice of Termination or any later date specified therein, as the case may be, and (C) if the Executive's employment is terminated by the Executive for any reason, the date of the Company's receipt of the Notice of Termination or any later date specified therein, as the case may be, (b) Obligations of the Company in a Covered Termination. If the Executive's employment shall cease by reason of a Covered Termination, then the following shall be paid or provided (the payments and benefits described in (i), (ii) and (iii) below may hereinafter sometimes be referred to as the "Change in Control Benefit" or "Change in Control Benefits"): (i) the Company shall pay or cause to be paid in cash to the Executive four (4) consecutive quarterly installments, with interest at the applicable federal rate (as defined in Section 1274(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code") determined at the Change in Control Date on the unpaid balance paid at the same time on each installment payment other than the first payment, with the first of such installments being paid not later than 30 days after the Date of Termination, (or if the Executive requests and the Company agrees in a lump sum within 30 days after the Date of Termination) and with the aggregate payments (excluding interest) totaling an amount equal to the sum of the Executive's (1) highest aggregate annual base salary from the Company and its affiliated companies in effect at any time during the 24 month period ending on the Change in Control Date and (2) highest annual bonus (including any deferrals thereof) from the Company and its affiliated companies payable for the Company's three fiscal years immediately preceding the fiscal year which includes the Change in Control Date; (ii) for one year after the Executive's Date of Termination, or such longer period as may be provided by the terms of the appropriate plan, program, practice or policy, the Company shall continue or cause to be continued benefits to the Executive and/or the Executive's family at least equal to those under the Welfare Benefit Plans. If the Executive becomes reemployed with another employer and is eligible to receive medical or other welfare benefits under another employer-provided plan, the medical and other welfare benefits described herein shall be secondary to those provided under such other plan during such applicable period of eligibility. For purposes of determining eligibility (but not the time of commencement of benefits) of the Executive for any retiree benefits pursuant to such plans, practices, programs and policies, the Executive shall be considered to have remained employed until one year after the Date of Termination and to have retired on the last day of such period. For purposes hereof, the term "Welfare Benefit Plan" means the welfare benefit plans, practices, policies and programs provided by the Company and its affiliates (including, without limitation, any medical, prescription, dental, vision, disability, life, accidental death and travel accident insurance plans and split dollar insurance programs) to the extent applicable generally to other peer executives of the Company and its affiliates, but in no event shall such plans, practices, policies and programs provide the Executive with benefits which are less favorable, in the aggregate, than the most favorable of such plans, practices, policies and programs in effect for the Executive at any time 6 during the one year period immediately preceding the Change in Control Date or, if more favorable to the Executive, those provided generally at any time after the Change in Control Date to other peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies; (iii) to the extent not theretofore paid or provided, the Company shall timely pay or cause to be paid or provide or cause to be provided to the Executive any other amounts or benefits required to be paid or provided or which the Executive is eligible to receive under any compensation arrangement, plan, program, policy or practice or contract or agreement of the Company and its affiliated companies (such other amounts and benefits shall be hereinafter referred to as the "Other Benefits"). (c) Obligations of the Company in a Noncovered Termination. If the Executive's employment shall cease by reason of a Noncovered Termination, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to the Executive other than the obligation timely to pay or cause to be paid or provide or cause to be provided to the Executive his Other Benefits. 5. FULL SETTLEMENT. --------------- (a) No Offset or Mitigation. The Company's obligation to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action which the Company may have against the Executive. In no event shall the Executive be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement and such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not the Executive obtains other employment. (b) Executive's Expense in Dispute Resolution. The Company agrees to pay, to the full extent permitted by law, all legal fees and expenses which the Executive may reasonably incur as a result of a contest (in which the Executive substantially prevails) by the Company, the Executive or others of the validity or enforceability of, or liability under, any provision of this Agreement or any guarantee of performance thereof (including as a result of any contest by the Executive about the amount of any payment pursuant to this Agreement), plus in each case interest on any delayed payment at the lower of (i) the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate or (ii) the applicable Federal mid-term rate provided for in Section 1274(d), compounded semi-annually, of the Code. (c) Payment prior to Dispute Resolution. If there shall be any dispute between the Company and the Executive in the event of any termination of Executive's employment, then, unless and until there is a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction declaring that such termination was a Noncovered Termination, that the determination by the Executive of the existence of Good Reason was not made in good faith, or that the Company is not otherwise obligated to pay any amount or provide any benefit to the Executive and his dependents or other beneficiaries, as the case may be, under Section 4(b), the Company shall pay all amounts, and provide all benefits, to the Executive and his dependents or other beneficiaries, as the case may be, that the Company would be required to pay or provide pursuant to Section 4(b) as though such termination were not a Noncovered Termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to pay any disputed amounts pursuant to this Section 5(c) except upon receipt of an adequate bond, letter of credit or undertaking by or on behalf of the Executive to repay all such amounts to which the Executive is ultimately adjudged by such court not to be entitled. 6. PAYMENT LIMITATIONS. ------------------- (a) Excise Tax Payment Limitation. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or any other agreement or plan to the contrary, the payments and benefits 7 provided to, or for the benefit of, the Executive under this Agreement or under any other plan or agreement which became payable or are taken into account as a result of the Change in Control (the "Payments") shall be reduced (but not below zero) to the extent necessary so that no payment to be made, or benefit to be provided, to the Executive or for his benefit under this Agreement or any other plan or agreement shall be subject to the imposition of an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code (such reduced amount is hereinafter referred to as the "Limited Payment Amount"). Unless the Executive and the Company shall otherwise agree, the Company shall reduce or eliminate the Payments to the Executive by first reducing or eliminating those payments or benefits which are not payable in cash and then by reducing or eliminating cash payments, in each case in reverse order beginning with payments or benefits which are to be paid the farthest in time from the Determination (as hereinafter defined). Any notice given by the Executive pursuant to the preceding sentence shall take precedence over the provisions of any other plan, arrangement or agreement governing Executive's rights and entitlements to any benefits or compensation. (b) Excise Tax Payment Limitation Determinations. All determinations required to be made under this Section 6 shall be made by the Company's public accounting firm (the "Accounting Firm"). The Accounting Firm shall provide its calculations, together with detailed supporting documentation, both to the Company and the Executive within fifteen days after the receipt of notice from the Company that there has been a Payment (or at such earlier times as is requested by the Company) and, with respect to any Limited Payment Amount, a reasonable opinion to the Executive that he is not required to report any excise tax on his federal income tax return with respect to the Limited Payment Amount (collectively the "Determination"). In the event that the Accounting Firm is serving as an accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the Change in Control, the Executive shall appoint another nationally recognized public accounting firm to make the determination required hereunder (which accounting firm shall then be referred to as the Accounting Firm hereunder). All fees, costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, the costs of retaining experts) of the Accounting Firm shall be borne by the Company. The Determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Executive (except as provided in Section 6(c) below). (c) Excise Tax Excess Payments Considered a Loan. If it is established pursuant to a final determination of a court or an Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") proceeding which has been finally and conclusively resolved, that Payments have been made to, or provided for the benefit of, the Executive by the Company, which are in excess of the limitations provided in Section 6(a) (hereinafter referred to as an "Excess Payment"), such Excess Payment shall be deemed for all purposes to be a loan to the Executive made on the date the Executive received the Excess Payment and the Executive shall repay the Excess Payment to the Company on demand, together with interest on the Excess Payment at the applicable federal rate (as defined in Section 1274(d) of the Code) from the date of Executive's receipt of such Excess Payment until the date of such repayment. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of Determination, it is possible that Payments which will not have been made by the Company should have been made (an "Underpayment"), consistent with the calculations required to be made under this Section 6. In the event that it is determined (i) by the Accounting Firm, the Company (which shall include the position taken by the Company, or together with its consolidated group, on its federal income tax return) or the IRS or (ii) pursuant to a determination by a court, that an Underpayment has occurred, the Company shall pay an amount equal to such Underpayment to the Executive within ten days of such determination together with interest on such amount at the applicable federal rate from the date such amount would have been paid to the Executive until the date of payment. (d) Banking Payment Limitation. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or any other agreement or plan to the contrary, the payments and benefits provided to, or for the benefit of, the Executive under this Agreement or under any other plan or agreement shall be reduced (but not below zero) to the extent necessary so that no payment to be made, or benefit to be provided, to the Executive or for his benefit under this 8 Agreement or any other plan or agreement shall be in violation of the golden parachute and indemnification payment limitations and prohibitions of 12 CFR Section 359. 7. TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement shall be effective as of ------------------------ the Agreement Effective Date and shall normally continue until the later of the Agreement Regular Termination Date or, if a Change in Control has occurred, until the end of the Coverage Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall terminate in any event upon the Executive's cessation of employment in a Noncovered Termination. 8. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. ------------------------ (a) No Disclosure by Executive. The Executive shall hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of the Company all secret or confidential information, knowledge or data relating to the Company or any of its affiliated companies, and their respective businesses, which shall have been obtained by the Executive during the Executive's employment by the Company or any of its affiliated companies and which shall not be or become public knowledge (other than by acts by the Executive or representatives of the Executive in violation of this Agreement). After termination of the Executive's employment with the Company, the Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company or as may otherwise be required by law or legal process, communicate or divulge any such information, knowledge or data to anyone other than the Company and those designated by it. (b) Remedies for Breach. It is recognized that damages in the event of breach of Section 8(a) above by the Executive would be difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain, and it is therefore specifically agreed that the Company, in addition to and without limiting any other remedy or right it may have, shall have the right to an injunction or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction, enjoining any such breach. The existence of this right shall not preclude the Company from pursuing any other rights and remedies at law or in equity which it may have. (c) Breach Not Basis to Withhold Payment. In no event shall an asserted violation of the provisions of this Section 8 constitute a basis for deferring or withholding any amounts otherwise payable to the Executive under this Agreement. 9. BENEFIT AND SUCCESSORS. ---------------------- (a) Executive's Benefit. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive's personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. If the Executive should die and any amount remains payable thereunder after his death, any such amount, unless otherwise agreed by the Company or provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to the Executive's devisee, legatee or other designee of such payment or, if there is no such designee, the Executive's estate. (b) Company's Benefit. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns. (c) Assumption by Successor to Company. The Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to assume expressly and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. As used in this Agreement, "Company" shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid which assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement by operation of law, or otherwise. 10. MISCELLANEOUS. ------------- 9 (a) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Virginia, without reference to principles of conflict of laws. The captions of this Agreement are not part of the provisions hereof and shall have no force or effect. (b) Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended or modified otherwise than by a written agreement executed by the parties hereto on their respective successors and legal representatives. (c) Notices.

Box 391 8th & main Streets West Point, Virginia 23181 or to such other address as either party shall have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith. Notice and communications shall be effective when actually received by the addressee. (d) Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement. (e) Tax Withholding. The Company may withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement such Federal, state, local or foreign taxes as shall be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation. (f) Waiver. The Executive's or the Company's failure to insist upon strict compliance with any provision of this Agreement or the failure to assert any right the Executive or the Company may have hereunder, including, without limitation, the right of the Executive to terminate employment for Good Reason pursuant to this Agreement, shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such provision or right or any other provision or right of this Agreement. (g) Executive's Employment. The Executive and the Company acknowledge that, except as may otherwise be provided under any other written agreement between the Executive and the Company, the employment of the Executive by the Company is "at will" and, subject to paragraph (ii) of Section 1(i) hereof deeming a termination to have occurred on or after the occurrence of a Change in Control Date, the Executive's employment and/or this Agreement may be terminated by either the Executive or the Company at any time prior to the Change in Control Date, in which case the Executive shall have no further rights under this Agreement. (h) Nonexclusivity of Rights. Except as expressly provided in Section 6, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit the Executive's continuing or future participation in any plan, program, policy or practice provided by the Company or any of its affiliated companies and for which the Executive may qualify, nor shall anything herein limit or 10 otherwise affect such rights as the Executive may have under any contract or agreement with the Company or any of its affiliated companies. Amounts which are vested benefits or which the Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any plan, policy, practice or program of or any contract or agreement with the Company or any of its affiliated companies at or subsequent to the Executive's termination shall be payable in accordance with such plan, policy, practice or program or contract or agreement except as explicitly modified by this Agreement.

[GRAPHIC] 2 C&F Financial Corporation LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT Dear Fellow Shareholders [PHOTO] Larry G. Dillon Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am pleased to present this Annual Report for C&F Financial Corporation for the year 1999. Our financial results for 1999 continue to place our corporation at the top of its peer group in both Virginia and the nation. Our earnings, assets, and returns all outpaced the records set in 1998. In 1999, net income totaled $6.8 million, or 10.14% higher than the record earnings of 1998. This resulted in a return on average assets of 2.07% and a return on average equity of 18.17% (these returns do not include the $370,000, net, one-time increase in earnings discussed below), up from 2.03% and 17.81%, respectively, in 1998. Our earnings also compare favorably with those of our peers, who as of September 30, 1999 showed average annualized returns on average assets of 1.09% and average equity of 12.32%. Once again we are honored to have been named one of the top 50 mid-sized community banking organizations in the country by U. S. Banker. In its July 1999 issue, C&F Financial Corporation was recognized for its superior performance using the criteria of return on assets, return on equity, efficiency ratio, non-performing assets ratio, and leverage ratio. This is a recognition of which we are most proud. Our success in 1999 was due to increased earnings at Citizens and Farmers Bank and C&F Investment Services, Inc., as well as strong performances by C&F Mortgage Corporation and C&F Title Agency, Inc. A part of Citizens and Farmers Bank's performance increase was due to the collection of a non-accruing loan early in the year that resulted in a $370,000, net, onetime increase in the Bank's earnings for 1999. Also contributing to the improved earnings was the Bank's increase in net interest income, which resulted from higher interest income combined with lower interest costs. The increase in interest income was primarily the result of increased loan volume. Please review Management's Discussion and Analysis for a more in-depth review of our numbers. Our subsidiary companies continue to positively impact the performance and services of the Corporation. While contributing significantly to the Corporation's earnings in 1999, C&F Mortgage Corporation did experience a slight decline in its earnings compared to 1998, as mortgage loan production declined due to the increase in home mortgage interest rates. This decrease in production has been experienced by mortgage companies across the nation so it is not unique to C&F. Some, in fact, experienced losses for the year 1999. 3 The decline in production also impacted the earnings of C&F Title Agency, Inc., whose earnings are closely correlated with those of the Mortgage Corporation. With the decline in mortgage loan production there was a The decline in production also impacted the earnings of C&F Title Agency, Inc., whose earnings are closely correlated with those of the Mortgage Corporation. With the decline in mortgage loan production there was a corresponding decline in business at the Title Agency and hence a decline in earnings. At C&F Investment Services, Inc., sales and income were both up for 1999. We are very pleased with the contributing impact these services are adding both to our product offerings and net income. Increased earnings also indicate how important the addition of this service is to our customer base. During 1999, assets under management increased by more than $16 million, reaching in excess of $83 million at year-end. We now have three full-time brokers serving our nine offices and anticipate adding more in 2000. We are excited with our customers' acceptance and demand for this service. In 1999, we took the first step toward another line of services, which we anticipate will round out our product line and add to our future profitability. We joined a consortium of state community banks and, under the auspices of the Virginia Bankers Association, have formed the Virginia Bankers Insurance Center, LLC to enter the insurance sales marketplace. The strategy for this consortium is to join resources to acquire an existing general insurance agency and thereby allow us to offer a full line of insurance products. This strategy will provide us a lower cost of entry into the insurance arena; give us the opportunity to buy into a larger and more diversified agency; give us an experienced insurance agency staff to service an array of various products; and will outsource management so that we can concentrate on sales. It is anticipated that an agency will be acquired during the first half of 2000, and the opportunities for sales will begin shortly thereafter. Another initiative undertaken in 1999 was the establishment of our Loan Operations Center in West Point. After a lengthy study, it was determined that in the long range interest of the Bank, the consolidation of the backroom loan functions would not only enhance customer service, but would help us assure uniformity in loan underwriting and production. In the long run, it will reduce the number of loan personnel needed throughout the organization and the costs associated with future training. An additional benefit will be to greatly reduce the risk of any loan discrimination, which is important to us as well as to our customers. In the short run, this center will add to our overhead, but in the long run will help us provide better service at reduced costs. During 1999, Citizens and Farmers Bank took a step that was somewhat unusual in the Virginia banking marketplace. We formed a new bank, Citizens and Commerce Bank ("CCB"), which while legally a division of Citizens and Farmers Bank, will operate as a separate entity. The advantages of this structure are that the setup is more efficient; regulatory oversight is less burdensome; CCB will have the capacity to make larger loans as compared to being separately chartered; and the two banks can more easily serve each others' customers. Headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, Citizens and Commerce Bank will cater to both the consumer and small-business markets. CCB opened its first branch on West Broad Street in Richmond in November and anticipates opening several additional branches within the next two to three years. With a management team that is very familiar with the Richmond small-business market and an active, local Board of Directors, we anticipate this new organization will be very successful in contributing to the future growth and earnings of the corporation. In April of this year, Citizens and Farmers Bank will open its tenth branch office, which will be located at the corner 4 of Jamestown Road and Route 199 in Williamsburg. This facility will be our first to have branch offices for Citizens and Farmers Bank, C&F Mortgage Corporation, and C&F Investment Services, Inc., all in the same location. We expect this to be an excellent addition to our branching network. While our goal had been to offer internet banking to our customers before the end of 1999, we deemed it appropriate to delay that service offering until sometime this year. With the "Y2K" cloud hanging over us the latter part of 1999, we felt it prudent to delay any major computer projects until after year-end. With Y2K successfully behind us we are now reevaluating the best solution for offering this service and anticipate having it in place later this year. The year 2000 will be challenging in trying to maintain the same earnings level as was attained in 1999. However, we are confident that the future looks very bright for your corporation both for asset growth and future earnings. We could not have achieved these extraordinary results without the dedication and hard work of an exceptional staff, the insight and direction of our Boards of Directors, and your support and patronage. Please accept our gratitude to all who have had a hand in making this a successful year. /s/ Larry G. Dillon Larry G. Dillon Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer [GRAPHIC] Citizens & Commerce Bank In November 1999, Citizens and Farmers Bank opened Citizens & Commerce Bank ("CCB"), in Richmond, its first banking division operating as a local financial institution.

OVERVIEW Net income totaled $6.8 million in 1999, an increase of 10.1% over 1998. Included in earnings for 1999 is $370,000 in interest income (after taxes) which resulted from the payoff of a non-accrual loan in January. Excluding this, net income increased 4.1% over 1998. In 1998, net income totaled $6.1 million, a 24.3% increase over 1997. Diluted earnings per share were $1.81, $1.56, and $1.25 in 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively. Excluding the interest income collected on the non-accrual loan, diluted earnings per share was $1.71 in 1999. The increase in earnings per share was a result of higher net income and the repurchase of 247,500 shares of the Corporation's common stock in 1999 and 204,683 shares of the Corporation's common stock in 1997. Profitability as measured by the Corporation's return on average equity (ROE), excluding the interest income collected on the non-accrual loan, was 18.17% in 1999, up from 17.81% in 1998, and 16.08% in 1997. Another key indicator of performance, the return on average assets (ROA) for 1999, excluding the interest income collected on the non-accrual loan, was 2.07%, compared to 2.03% and 1.90% for 1998 and 1997, respectively. C&F Financial Corporation 10 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TABLE 1: Average Balances, Income and Expense, Yields and Rates The following table shows the average balance sheets for each of the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997. In addition, the amounts of interest earned on earning assets, with related yields and interest on interest-bearing liabilities, together with the rates, are shown. Loans include loans held for sale. Also, loans placed on a non-accrual status are included in the balances and were included in the computation of yields, upon which they had an immaterial effect. Interest on tax-exempt securities is on a taxable- equivalent basis, which was computed using the federal corporate income tax rate of 34% for all three years.

1999 Annual Report 11 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RESULTS OF OPERATIONS NET INTEREST INCOME During 1999, net interest income, on a tax-equivalent basis, excluding the one-time interest collected on a non-accrual loan, increased 7.7% to $15.4 million from $14.3 million in 1998. This was a result of a 2.3% increase in the average balance of interest earning assets and an increase in the net interest margin to 5.29% for 1999 from 5.02% for 1998. The increase in the average balance of interest earning assets was a result of an increase in average balance of loans at Citizens and Farmers Bank (the "Bank") and an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits in other banks and fed funds offset by a decrease in the average balance of securities and loans held for sale at C&F Mortgage Corporation (the "Mortgage Corporation"). The increase in loans at the Bank was a result of overall higher loan demand and the increase in interest bearing deposits in other banks and fed funds was a result of excess liquidity resulting from the decrease in securities. The decline in securities was a result of a large number of securities being called in the first half of 1999. The decrease in loans held for sale at the Mortgage Corporation was a result of a decrease in loan closings to $457 million in 1999 from $524 million in 1998 and an increase in loan fundings (sold) to $499 million in 1999 from $481 million in 1998. The increase in the net interest margin was mainly a result of a decrease in cost of funds to 3.90% for 1999 from 4.27% for 1998. The decrease in cost of funds was a result of the decrease in cost of deposits and borrowings and an overall decrease in the average balance of higher cost borrowings. The decrease in the cost of deposits and borrowings was a result of the overall lower interest rate for the first half of 1999. The decrease in the average balance of borrowings is a result of the decrease in loans held for sale at the Mortgage Corporation. Borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") are used to fund loans originated and subsequently sold by the Mortgage Corporation. During 1998, net interest income, on a tax-equivalent basis, increased 10.9% to $14.3 million from $12.8 million in 1997. This was a result of a 16.6% increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets offset by a decrease in the net interest margin to 5.02% for the year ended December 31, 1998, from 5.28% for 1997. The increase in the average balance of interest- earning assets was attributed to an increase in the average balance of loans at the Bank and loans held for sale at the Mortgage Corporation. The decrease in the net interest margin was a result of a decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets resulting from the lower interest rate environment and a increase in the cost of funds mainly attributed to increased borrowings from the FHLB. As mentioned above, borrowings from the FHLB are used to fund loans originated and subsequently sold by the Mortgage Corporation. Loan closings at the Mortgage Corporation increased to $524 million for the year ended December 31, 1998, compared to $286 million for 1997. C&F Financial Corporation 12 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TABLE 2: Rate-Volume Recap Interest income and expense are affected by fluctuations in interest rates, by changes in the volume of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and by the interaction of rate and volume factors. The following analysis shows the direct causes of the year-to-year changes in the components of net interest earnings on a taxable-equivalent basis. The rate and volume variances are calculated by a formula prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Rate/volume variances, the third element in the calculation, are not shown separately, but are allocated to the rate and volume variances in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of the change in each. Loans include both non-accrual loans and loans held for sale.

1999 Annual Report 13 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT As the holding company for a commercial bank, the Corporation's primary compo- nent of market risk is interest rate volatility. Fluctuation in interest rates will ultimately impact the level of both income and expense recorded on a large portion of the Bank's assets and liabilities, and the market value of all interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, other than those which possess a short term to maturity. Since the majority of the Corpora- tion's interest-earning assets and all of the Corporation's interest-bearing liabilities are held by the Bank, virtually all of the Corporation's interest rate risk exposure lies at the Bank level. Therefore, all significant interest rate risk management procedures are performed by management of the Bank. Based on the nature of the Bank's operations, the Bank is not subject to foreign currency exchange or commodity price risk. The Bank's loan portfolio is con- centrated primarily in the Virginia counties of King William, King and Queen, Hanover, Henrico, Essex, Middlesex, New Kent, Charles City, York, and James City, and is, therefore, subject to risks associated with the local economy. As of December 31, 1999, the Corporation does not own any trading assets nor does it have any hedging transactions in place such as interest rate swaps and caps. The Bank's interest rate management strategy is designed to stabilize net in- terest income and preserve capital. The Bank manages interest rate risk through the use of a simulation model which measures the sensitivity of future net interest income and the net portfolio value to changes in interest rates. In addition, the Bank monitors interest rate sensitivity through analysis, measuring the terms to maturity or next repricing date of interest-earning as- sets and interest-bearing liabilities. The matching of the maturities of as- sets and liabilities may be analyzed by examining the extent to which assets and liabilities are "interest rate sensitive" and by monitoring an institu- tion's interest rate sensitivity "gap." An asset or liability is said to be "interest rate sensitive" within a specific time period if it will mature or reprice within that time period. The interest rate sensitivity "gap" is de- fined as the difference between the amount of interest-earning assets antici- pated, based on certain assumptions, to mature or reprice within a specific time period and the amount of interest-bearing liabilities anticipated, based on certain assumptions, to mature or reprice within that time period. A gap is considered negative when the amount of interest-rate-sensitive liabilities ma- turing or repricing within a specific time period exceeds the amount of inter- est-rate-sensitive assets maturing or repricing within that same time period. During a period of rising interest rates, a negative gap would tend to result in a decrease in net interest income while a positive gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income. In a declining interest rate environ- ment, an institution with a negative gap would generally be expected, absent the effect of other factors, to experience a greater decrease in the cost of its liabilities relative to the yield of its assets and thus an increase in the institution's net interest income, whereas an institution with a positive gap would be expected to experience the opposite result. Certain shortcomings are inherent in any rate method of analysis used to esti- mate a financial institution's interest rate gap. The analysis is based at a given point in time and does not take into consideration that changes in in- terest rates do not affect all assets and liabilities equally. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or repricing, they may react differently to changes in market interest rates. The interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities also may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market rates. The interest rates on loans with call features may or may not change depending on their interest rates relative to market interest rates. The Corporation is also subject to prepayment risk, particularly in falling interest rate environments or in environments where the slope of the yield curve is relatively flat or negative. Such changes in the interest rate envi- ronment can cause substantial changes in the level of prepayments of loans, which may also affect the Corporation's interest rate gap position. As part of its borrowings, the Corporation may utilize, from time to time, daily and convertible advances from the FHLB-Atlanta. Convertible advances generally provide for a fixed rate of interest for a portion of the term of the advance, an ability for the FHLB-Atlanta to convert the advance from a fixed rate to an adjustable rate at some predetermined time during the remain- ing term of the advance (the "conversion" feature), and a concurrent opportu- nity for the Corporation to prepay the advance with no prepayment penalty in the event the FHLB-Atlanta elects to exercise the conversion feature. Changes in interest rates from those at December 31, 1999, may result in a change in the estimated maturity of convertible advances and, therefore, the Corpora- tion's interest rate gap position. Also, the methodology used estimates various rates of withdrawal for money market deposits, savings, and checking accounts, which may vary significantly from actual experience. The following table sets forth the amounts of interest-earning assets and in- terest-bearing liabilities outstanding at December 31, 1999, that are subject to repricing or that mature in each of the time periods shown. Additionally, loans and securities with call provisions are included in the period in which they may first be called. Except as stated above, the amount of assets and li- abilities shown that reprice or mature during a particular period were deter- mined in accordance with the contractual terms of the asset or liability.

The following tables provide information about the Corporation's financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, based on the information and assumptions set forth in the notes. The Corporation believes that the assumptions utilized are reasonable. The expected maturity date values for loans were calculated by adjusting the instruments' contractual maturity date for expectations of prepayments, as set forth in the notes. Similarly, expected maturity date values for interest- bearing core deposits were calculated based on estimates of the period over which the deposits would be outstanding, as set forth in the notes. From a risk-management perspective, however, the Corporation utilizes both maturity and repricing dates, as opposed to solely using expected maturity dates. As shown in the table, there have been no significant changes in the maturities of interest-earning assets or liabilities. The large decrease in loans held for sale maturing within one year is a result of decreased production at the Mortgage Corporation. All loans originated at the Mortgage Corporation are usually sold within one month. The increase in borrowings is also a result of the increased loan growth at the Bank. 1999 Annual Report 15 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TABLE 4: Maturity of Interest-Bearing Assets/Liabilities

1999 VS. 1998 Non-interest income increased by $265,000, or 2.4%, in 1999. The increase is a result of increased fees at C&F Investment Services, Inc. (the "Investment Company") and the Bank and a $139,000 gain on securities which were called during the year. The increase in fees at the Investment Company and the Bank is due to overall growth. These increases are offset by a $437,000 decrease in the gain on sale of loans at the Mortgage Corporation. This decrease is a re- sult of the overall decrease in production in the Mortgage Corporation which is a result of the higher interest rate environment in the second half of 1999 as compared to 1998. 1998 VS. 1997 Non-interest income increased by $4.4 million, or 65.4%, over 1997. The major- ity of the increase was attributed to an approximate $3.1 million increase in the gain on the sale of loans resulting from an increase in loan production at the Mortgage Corporation. Loan closings at the Mortgage Corporation totaled $524 million in 1998 compared to $286 million in 1997 and $174 million in 1996. Other service charges and fees increased $880,000, or 89.1%, over 1997. The majority of this was attributed to fees associated with loan closings at the Mortgage Corporation. Other income increased approximately $379,000, or 63%, over 1997. The majority of this income was attributed to increased income at C&F Title Agency, Inc. (the "Title Agency"). The increase in income at the Title Agency was a direct result of the increased loan closings at the Mort- gage Corporation. NON-INTEREST EXPENSE TABLE 6: Non-Interest Expense

1999 VS. 1998 Non-interest expense increased $1.1 million, or 7.5%, over 1998. The majority of this increase is a result of increased salaries and benefits at the Bank, the Mortgage Corporation, and the Investment Company. The increase in salaries and benefits at the Bank is due to overall growth including the formation of Citizens & Commerce Bank ("CCB"), which operates as a division of the Bank. CCB was formed in the second half of 1999, and has an area President and a re- gional Board of Directors. CCB was formed to serve the greater Richmond mar- ket. Currently, CCB has one branch open. The increase in salaries and benefits at the Mortgage Corporation was a result of increased non-commission positions due to the low interest rate environment in the second half of 1998 and the first half of 1999. The increase in salaries at the Investment Company is a result of overall growth. 1998 VS. 1997 Non-interest expense increased $3.4 million, or 29.9%, over 1997. $2.0 million of this increase resulted from increased salaries and employee benefits. The majority of this increase can be attributed to increased commissions at the Mortgage Corporation, which was a result of increased loan closings. The re- mainder of the increase in salaries and employee benefits was a result of gen- eral pay increases along with the addition of new employees at both the Bank and the Mortgage Corporation. Other expenses increased by $1.3 million, or 43%, over 1997. The majority of this increase can be associated with costs re- lated to the increase in loan closings at the Mortgage Corporation. The re- mainder of the increase can be attributed to general expenses at the Bank in- cluding $100,000 in costs associated with the Year 2000 ("Y2K") issue. 1999 Annual Report 17 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- YEAR 2000 ISSUE The Y2K issue involved the risk that computer programs and computer systems would not be able to perform without interruption into the year 2000. If com- puter systems did not correctly recognize the date change from December 31, 1999 to January 1, 2000, computer applications that rely on the date field could have failed or created erroneous results. All computer programs and sys- tems at the Corporation operated without problems when the date changed from December 31, 1999 to January 1, 2000. While the Corporation will continue to monitor computer programs and systems, no problems are expected. To date, the Corporation has expensed $150,000 related with the Year 2000 is- sue. Remaining expenditures are not expected to have a material effect on the Corporation's consolidated financial statements. INCOME TAXES Applicable income taxes on 1999 earnings amounted to $2,394,000, resulting in an effective tax rate of 26.1% compared to $2,353,000, or 27.7%, in 1998, and $1,614,000, or 24.6%, in 1997. The decrease in the effective tax rate for 1999 as compared to 1998 is a result of the increase in earnings subject to no taxes such as certain loans to municipalities or investment obligations of states and political subdivisions. The increase in the effective tax rate in 1998 as compared to 1997 was a result of the increase in earnings subject to a 34% tax rate, mainly resulting from increased income at the Mortgage Corpora- tion, versus earnings subject to no taxes.

C&F Financial Corporation 18 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TABLE 8: Allocation of Allowance for Possible Loan Losses The allowance for loan losses is a general allowance applicable to all loan categories; however, management has allocated the allowance to provide an indication of the relative risk characteristics of the loan portfolio. The allocation is an estimate and should not be interpreted as an indication that charge-offs in 2000 will occur in these amounts, or that the allocation indicates future trends. The allocation of the allowance at December 31 for the years indicated and the ratio of related outstanding loan balances to total loans are as follows:

ASSET QUALITY-ALLOWANCE/ PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES The allowance for loan losses is to provide for potential losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Among other factors, management considers the Corpora- tion's historical loss experience, the size and composition of the loan port- folio, the value and adequacy of collateral and guarantors, non-performing credits, and current and anticipated economic conditions. There are additional risks of future loan losses which cannot be precisely quantified or attributed to particular loans or classes of loans. Since those risks include general economic trends as well as conditions affecting individual borrowers, the al- lowance for loan losses is an estimate. The allowance is also subject to regu- latory examinations and determination as to adequacy, which may take into ac- count such factors as the methodology used to calculate the allowance and the size of the allowance in comparison to peer banks identified by regulatory agencies. In 1999, the Corporation had $600,000 in provision for loan losses compared to $600,000 in 1998 and $330,000 in 1997. The increase in provision from 1997 to 1998 was a result of management's recognition of risks associated with the reduction in residential real estate loans and increasing the volume of commercial and commercial real estate loans. Loans charged off during 1999 amounted to $86,000 compared to $99,000 in 1998 and $27,000 in 1997. Recoveries amounted to $28,000, $25,000, and $4,000 in 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively. The ratio of net charge-offs to average outstanding loans was .03% in 1999, .04% in 1998, and .01% in 1997. Management feels that the reserve is adequate to absorb any losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible. Table 7 presents the Corporation's loan loss and recovery experience for the past five years. NON-PERFORMING ASSETS Total non-performing assets, which consist of the Corporation's non-accrual loans and real estate owned, were $49,000 at December 31, 1999, a decrease of $414,000 from December 31, 1998. The decrease in 1999 was primarily the col- lection of one large non-accrual loan which was on the Corporation's books at December 31, 1998. Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when the collection of prin- cipal or interest is ninety days or more past due, or earlier, if collection is uncertain based on an evaluation of the net realizable value of the collat- eral and the financial strength of the borrower. Loans greater than ninety days past due may remain on accrual status if management determines it has ad- equate collateral to cover the principal and interest. For those loans which are carried on non-accrual status, interest is recognized on the cash basis. For 1999, $8,000 in gross interest income would have been recorded if non-ac- crual loans had been current throughout the period outstanding. For the period ended December 31, 1999, interest income received on non-accrual loans was $551,000. 1999 Annual Report 19 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table 9 summarizes non-performing assets for the past five years.

C&F Financial Corporation 22 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CAPITAL RESOURCES The assessment of capital adequacy depends on a number of factors such as as- set quality, liquidity, earnings performance, and changing competitive condi- tions and economic forces. The adequacy of the Corporation's capital is re- viewed by management on an ongoing basis. Management seeks to maintain a capi- tal structure that will assure an adequate level of capital to support antici- pated asset growth and to absorb potential losses. During March of 1999, the Corporation repurchased 235,000 shares of its common stock from six shareholders at prices between $19.88 and $20.00 per share in privately negotiated transactions. During the second half of 1999, the Corpo- ration repurchased a further 12,500 shares of its common stock in the open market at prices between $17.00 and $18.00 per share. On April 4, 1997, the Corporation repurchased 204,683 shares of its common stock. These repurchases were made to reduce capital as it was high relative to the Corporation's asset size. The Corporation's capital position continues to exceed regulatory require- ments. The primary indicators relied on by bank regulators in measuring the capital position are the Tier I capital, total risk-based capital, and lever- age ratios. Tier I capital consists of common and qualifying preferred share- holders' equity less goodwill. Total capital consists of Tier I capital, qual- ifying subordinated debt, and a portion of the allowance for loan losses. Risk-based capital ratios are calculated with reference to risk-weighted as- sets. The Corporation's Tier I capital ratio was 14.0% at December 31, 1999, compared to 12.5% at December 31, 1998. The total capital ratio was 15.2% at December 31, 1999, compared to 13.4% at December 31, 1998. These ratios are in excess of the mandated minimum requirement of 4.0% and 8.0%, respectively. Shareholders' equity was $35.1 million at year-end 1999 compared to $36.6 million at year-end 1998. The leverage ratio consists of Tier I capital divided by average assets. At December 31, 1999, the Corporation's leverage ratio was 11.3%, compared to 11.5% at December 31, 1998. Each of these exceeds the required minimum leverage ratio of 4.0%. The dividend payout ratio was 26.6%, 27.7%, and 27.8%, in 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively. During 1999, the Corporation paid dividends of $0.49 per share, up 11.4% from $0.44 per share paid in 1998. The Corporation is not aware of any current recommendations by any regulatory authorities which, if they were implemented, would have a material effect on the Corporation's liquidity, capital resources, or results of operations. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 1998, FASB issued FAS 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." FAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative financial instruments and other similar financial instruments and for hedging activities. The standard also allows securities classified as held-to-maturity to be transferred to the available-for-sale category at the date of initial application of this standard. FAS 133 is effective for all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. Management is currently reviewing this statement to determine the impact, if any, it will have since the Corpo- ration currently has no derivative instruments. EFFECTS OF INFLATION The effect of changing prices on financial institutions is typically different from other industries as the Corporation's assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. Interest rates are significantly impacted by inflation, but neither the timing nor the magnitude of the changes are directly related to price- level indices. The consolidated financial statements reflect the impacts of inflation on interest rates, loan demands, and deposits.

See notes to consolidated financial statements. 1999 Annual Report 27 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The accounting and reporting policies of C&F Financial Corporation and subsid- iary (the "Corporation") conform to generally accepted accounting principles and to predominant practices within the banking industry. Nature of Operations: C&F Financial Corporation is a bank holding company in- corporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The Corporation owns all of the stock of its sole subsidiary, Citizens and Farmers Bank (the "Bank"), which is an independent commercial bank chartered under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The Bank offers a wide range of banking services available to both individuals and small businesses. The Bank has three wholly owned subsidiaries, C&F Title Agency, Inc., C&F In- vestment Services, Inc., and C&F Mortgage Corporation, all incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. C&F Title Agency, Inc., organized in 1992, sells title insurance to the mortgage loan customers of the Bank and C&F Mortgage Corporation. C&F Investment Services, Inc., organized in April 1995, is a full-service brokerage firm offering a comprehensive range of investment services. C&F Mortgage Corporation, organized in September 1995, was formed to originate and sell residential mortgages. Principles of Consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial state- ments include the accounts of C&F Financial Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, Citizens and Farmers Bank. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with gener- ally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the re- porting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Securities: Investments in debt and equity securities with readily determin- able fair values are classified as either held to maturity, available for sale, or trading, based on management's intent. Available for sale securities are carried at estimated fair value with the corresponding unrealized gains and losses included in shareholders' equity on an after-tax basis. Securities classified as held to maturity are carried at amortized cost. The Corporation does not have any securities classified as trading securities. Gains or losses are recognized only on realization at the time of sale using the amortized cost of the specific security sold. Federal Home Loan Bank Stock: Federal Home Loan Bank stock is stated at cost. No ready market exists for this stock, and it has no quoted market value. For presentation purposes, such stock is assumed to have market value which is equal to cost. In addition, such stock is not considered a debt or equity se- curity in accordance with SFAS 115. Loans: Loans are stated at face value, net of unearned discount and the allow- ance for loan losses. Unearned discount on certain installment loans is recog- nized as income over the terms of the loans by a method which approximates the effective interest method. Interest on other loans is credited to operations based on the principal amount outstanding. Loans are generally placed on non- accrual status when the collection of principal or interest is ninety days or more past due, or earlier, if collection is uncertain based on an evaluation of the net realizable value of the collateral and the financial strength of the borrower. Loans greater than ninety days past due may remain on accrual status if management determines it has adequate collateral to cover the prin- cipal and interest. For those loans which are carried on non-accrual status, interest is recognized on the cash basis. Loan fees and origination costs are deferred and the net amount is amortized as an adjustment of the related loan's yield using the level-yield method. The Corporation is amortizing these amounts over the contractual life of the related loans. Impaired loans are measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate of the loan, or, as a practi- cal expedient, at the loan's observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. The Corporation considers a loan impaired when it is probable that the Corporation will be unable to col- lect all interest and principal payments as scheduled in the loan agreement. A loan is not considered impaired during a period of delay in payment if the ul- timate collectibility of all amounts due is expected. A valuation allowance is maintained to the extent that the measure of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment. Consistent with the Corporation's method for non-accrual loans, interest re- ceipts for impaired loans are recognized on the cash basis. Loans Held for Sale: Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market, determined in the aggregate. Market value considers commitment agreements with investors and prevailing market prices. Substantially all loans originated by the mortgage banking operations are held for sale to outside investors. Reserve for Loan Losses: The reserve for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense. The reserve represents an amount which, in management's judgment, will be adequate to absorb any losses on ex- isting loans which may become uncollectible. Management's judgment in deter- mining the adequacy of the reserve is based on evaluations of the collectibility of loans while taking into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, current economic con- ditions which may affect a borrower's ability to repay, overall portfolio quality, and review of specific potential losses. Loans are charged against the reserve for loan losses when management believes that the collectibility of the principal is unlikely. Actual future losses may differ from estimates as a result of unforeseen events. Other Real Estate Owned: Foreclosed assets held for sale are carried at the lower of (a) fair value minus estimated costs to sell or (b) cost at the time of foreclosure. Such determination is made on an individual asset basis. If the fair value of the asset minus the estimated costs to sell the asset is less than the cost of the asset, the deficiency is recognized as a valuation allowance. If the fair value of the asset minus the estimated costs to sell the asset subsequently increases and the fair value of the asset minus the es- timated costs to sell the asset is more than its carrying amount, the valua- tion allowance is reduced, but not below zero. Increases or decreases in the valuation allowance are charged or credited to income. C&F Financial Corporation 28 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Recovery of the carrying value of such real estate is dependent to a great ex- tent on economic, operating, and other conditions that may be beyond the Cor- poration's control. Corporate Premises and Equipment: Corporate premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation computed using straight-line and accel- erated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated useful lives range from ten to forty years for buildings and from three to ten years for equipment, furniture, and fixtures. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred and major improvements are capitalized. Upon sale or re- tirement of depreciable properties, the cost and related accumulated deprecia- tion are netted against proceeds and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in income. Income Taxes: The Corporation uses an asset and liability approach to finan- cial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial state- ment and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applica- ble to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable in- come. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Defined Benefit Plan: In 1998, the Corporation adopted Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) 132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits." This pronouncement does not change the measurement or recognition of amounts recognized in the Corporation's financial statements applicable to its defined benefit plan. FAS 132 revises the existing disclo- sure requirements by standardizing the disclosure requirements for pensions, requiring certain additional information on changes in the benefit obligations and fair values of plan assets, and eliminating certain disclosures. Segment Information: In 1998, the Corporation adopted Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." FAS 131 supercedes FAS 14, "Financial Reporting for Segment of a Business Enterprise," replacing the "industry segment" approach with the "man- agement" approach. The management approach designates the internal organiza- tion that is used by management for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source of the Corporation's reportable segments. The adop- tion of FAS 131 did not affect the results of operations or financial position but did affect the disclosure of segment information. Comprehensive Income: In 1998, the Corporation adopted Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." The consolidated statements of shareholders' equity have been changed to include columns for comprehensive income and accumulated other comprehensive income. Comprehensive income for the Corporation includes net income plus the change in the unrealized gain or loss on securities available for sale. Accumulated other comprehensive income includes the cumulative changes in unrealized gain or loss on securities available for sale. Adoption of this standard did not impact the Corporation's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Earnings Per Share: In 1997, the Corporation adopted Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) 128, "Earnings per Share." FAS 128 replaced the calculation of primary and fully diluted earnings per share with basic and diluted earnings per share. Unlike primary earnings per share, basic earnings per share ex- cludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants, and convertible securities. Diluted earnings per share is very similar to the previously reported fully diluted earnings per share. All earnings per share amounts for all periods have been presented and, where appropriate, restated to conform to the FAS 128 requirements. Shareholders' Equity: During March of 1999 the Corporation repurchased 235,000 shares of its common stock from six shareholders at prices between $19.88 and $20.00 per share in privately negotiated transactions. During the second half of 1999, the Corporation repurchased a further 12,500 shares of its common stock in the open market at prices between $17.00 and $18.00 per share. On April 4, 1997, the Corporation repurchased 204,683 shares of its common stock at a price of $21.00 per share. On June 16, 1998, the Corporation declared a 100% stock dividend in the form of a two-for-one stock split. All the financial data included in this Annual Report has been retroactively restated to reflect the effect of the stock split. Statement of Cash Flows: For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, the Corporation considers cash equivalents to include amounts due from banks, fed- eral funds sold, and money market investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less. Generally, federal funds are purchased and sold for one- day periods. 1999 Annual Report 29 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 2: Securities Debt and equity securities are summarized as follows:

Loans on non-accrual status were $49,000 and $463,000 at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. If interest income had been recognized on non-performing loans at their stated rates during fiscal years 1999, 1998, and 1997, interest income would have increased by approximately $8,000, $37,000, and $37,000, respectively. The balance of impaired loans at December 31, 1999 and 1998, was $49,000 and $463,000, respectively, with no specific valuation allowance associated with these loans. 1999 Annual Report 31 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 4: Reserve for Loan Losses Changes in the reserve for loan losses were as follows:

C&F Financial Corporation 32 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 7: Borrowings Short-term borrowings consist of securities sold under agreements to repurchase which are secured transactions with customers and generally mature the day following the date sold. Short-term borrowings also include advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB), which are secured by a blanket floating lien on all real estate mortgage loans secured by one- to-four family residential properties. The table below presents selected information on short-term borrowings:
December 31, ------------------------ 1999 1998 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Maximum balance at any month-end during the year $27,200,000 $43,609,000 Average balance for the year $12,601,055 $22,237,000 Weighted average rate for the year 4.93% 5.50% Weighted average rate on borrowings at year-end 4.80% 4.61% Estimated fair value $30,035,293 $14,661,078 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Corporation has unused lines of credit for borrowings totaling approximately $47,800,000 at December 31, 1999. Long-term borrowings consist of convertible fixed-rate advances from the FHLB. There were no long-term borrowings at December 31, 1999. At December 31, 1998, convertible fixed-rate advances totaled $10,000,000 with an average interest rate of 5.01%. These advances are also secured by a blanket floating lien on all real estate mortgage loans secured by one-to-four family residential properties. NOTE 8: Earnings Per Share The following shows the weighted average number of shares used in computing earnings per share and the effect on weighted average number of shares of diluted potential common stock. All shares have been restated to reflect the effect of a two-for-one stock split in July 1998.
December 31, ----------------------------- 1999 1998 1997 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Weighted average number of common shares used in earnings per common share--basic 3,684,796 3,857,542 3,930,288 Effect of dilutive securities: Stock options 53,438 62,233 22,468 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Weighted average number of common shares used in earnings per common share--assuming dilution 3,738,234 3,919,775 3,952,756 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Options on approximately 15,000 and 20,000 shares were not included in computing earnings per common share--assuming dilution for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1997, respectively, because their effects were antidilutive. All options were included in computing earnings per common share--assuming dilution for the year ended December 31, 1998. NOTE 9: Income Taxes Principal components of income tax expense as reflected in the statements of income are as follows:

NOTE 10: Employee Benefit Plans The Bank maintains a Defined Contribution Profit-Sharing Plan (the "Profit- Sharing Plan") sponsored by the Virginia Bankers Association. The Profit- Sharing Plan was amended effective January 1, 1997, to include a 401(k) savings provision which authorizes a maximum voluntary salary deferral of up to 15% of compensation (with a partial company match), subject to statutory limitations. The Profit-Sharing Plan provides for an annual discretionary contribution to the account of each eligible employee based in part on the Bank's profitability for a given year and on each participant's yearly earnings. All full-time employees who have attained the age of eighteen and have at least three months of service are eligible to participate. Contributions and earnings may be invested in various investment vehicles offered through the Virginia Bankers Association. Contributions and earnings are tax-deferred. An employee is 20% vested after three years of service, 40% after four years, 60% after five years, 80% after six years, and fully vested after seven years. The amounts charged to expense under this plan were $293,584, $281,230, and $244,617 in 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively. C&F Financial Corporation 34 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Mortgage Corporation maintains a Defined Contribution 401(k) Savings Plan which authorizes a maximum voluntary salary deferral of up to 15% of compensa- tion, subject to statutory limitations. All full-time employees who have at- tained the age of eighteen are eligible to participate on the first day of the next month following employment date. The Mortgage Corporation reserves the right for an annual discretionary contribution to the account of each eligible employee based in part on the Mortgage Corporation's profitability for a given year, and on each participant's yearly earnings. An employee is vested 25% af- ter two years of service, 50% after three years of service, 75% after four years of service, and fully vested after five years. The amount charged to ex- pense under the Plan was $160,000, $185,000 and $50,000 for 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The Bank adopted a Management Incentive Bonus Plan (the "Bonus Plan") effec- tive January 1, 1987. The Bonus Plan is offered to selected members of manage- ment. The Bonus Plan is derived from a pool of funds determined by the Bank's total performance relative to (1) prescribed growth-rates of assets and depos- its, (2) return on average assets, and (3) absolute level of net income. At- tainment, in whole or in part, of these goals dictates the amount set aside in the pool of funds. Evaluation of attainment and approval of the pool amount are performed by the Board. Payment of the bonus is based on individual per- formance and is paid in cash. Expense is accrued in the fiscal year of the specified bonus performance. Expenses under this plan were $173,200, $166,150, and $136,700 in 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively. Additional bonuses total- ing $31,148 and $35,205, were granted to employees not covered by the Bonus Plan in 1998 and 1997, respectively. The Bank has a non-contributory, defined benefit pension plan for full-time employees over twenty-one years of age. Benefits are generally based upon years of service and average compensation for the five highest-paid consecu- tive years of service. The Bank funds pension costs in accordance with the funding provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act. Information about the plan follows:

NOTE 11: Related Party Transactions Loans to directors and officers totaled $926,000 and $1,070,000 at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. New advances to directors and officers to- taled $413,000 and repayments totaled $557,000 in the year ended December 31, 1999. NOTE 12: Stock Options Under the Incentive Stock Option Plan ("the Plan"), options to purchase common stock are granted to certain key employees of the Corporation. Options are is- sued to employees at a price equal to the fair market value of common stock at the date granted. Prior to December 21, 1999, one-third of the options granted become exercisable commencing one year after the grant date with an additional one-third becoming exercisable after each of the following two years. Options granted on December 21, 1999, become exercisible five years after the grant date. In 1983, the shareholders authorized 100,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the Plan. An additional 200,000 shares were authorized for the Plan in 1994. All options expire ten years from the grant date. In 1998, the Board of Directors authorized 25,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan (the "Director Plan"). In 1999, the Director Plan was amended to authorize a total of 150,000 shares for issuance. Under the Director Plan, options to purchase common stock are granted to non-employee directors of the Bank. Options are issued to non- employee directors at a price equal to the fair market value of common stock at the date granted. The options granted are exercisable six months after grant. All options expire ten years from the grant date. In 1999, the Board of Directors authorized 25,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the 1999 Regional Director Stock Compensation Plan. Under this plan, options to purchase common stock are granted to non-employee regional directors of Citizens & Commerce Bank, a division of the Bank. Options are is- sued to non-employee regional directors at a price equal to the fair market value of common stock at the date granted. One third of the options granted become exercisable commencing one year after the grant date with an additional one-third becoming exercisable after each of the following two years. All op- tions expire ten years from the grant date. The Corporation applies APB Opinion 25 and related Interpretations in account- ing for the stock option plans. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for its plans. Had compensation cost for the plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates of options consistent with FASB Statement 123, the Corporation's net income and earnings per share would not have been materially different from those amounts shown on the statements of income for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997 . The fair value of each option granted during the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997, was estimated on the date of grant using the Black- Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions for 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively: risk-free rate of 6.7, 4.5, and 5.6% and volatility of 25, 30, and 20%. The dividend yield used in the pricing model was 2.8, 2.6, and 3.0% for 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively. The expected lives used was eight years for 1999, 1998, and 1997.

*Weighted average NOTE 13: Regulatory Requirements and Restrictions The Corporation and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital re- quirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet mini- mum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory--and possibly addi- tional discretionary--actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Corporation's and the Bank's financial state- ments. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Corporation and the Bank must meet specific cap- ital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Corporation's and the Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calcu- lated under regulatory accounting practices. The Corporation's and the Bank's capital amounts and classification are subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Prompt cor- rective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy re- quire the Corporation 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 regu- lations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as de- fined) to average assets (as defined) less goodwill. For both the Corporation and the Bank, Tier I capital consists of shareholders' equity excluding any net unrealized gain (loss) on securities available for sale less goodwill, and total capital consists of Tier I capital and a portion of the allowance for loan losses. Risk-weighted assets for the Corporation and the Bank were $251,051,000 and $243,735,000, respectively, at December 31, 1999, and $278,514,000 and $273,132,000, respectively, at December 31, 1998. Management believes, as of December 31, 1999, that the Corporation and the Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject. As of December 31, 1999, the most recent notification from the FDIC catego- rized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must main- tain 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 notifi- cation that management believes have changed the institution's category. 1999 Annual Report 37 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Corporation's and the Bank's actual capital amounts and ratios are presented in the table.

NOTE 14: Commitments and Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk The Corporation is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its cus- tomers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, com- mitments to sell loans, and standby letters of credit. These instruments in- volve elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recog- nized in the balance sheet. The contract amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Bank has in particular classes of financial in- struments. The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit written 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. Collateral is ob- tained based on management's credit assessment of the customer. Standby let- ters of credit are written conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guar- antee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in ex- tending loans to customers. The total contract amount of standby letters of credit, whose contract amounts represent credit risk, was $5,547,000 and $4,240,000 at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Loan commitments are agreements to extend credit to a customer provided that there are no violations of the terms of the contract prior to funding. Commit- ments have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee by the customer. Since many of the commitments may expire without being completely drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not nec- essarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each custom- er's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The total amount of loan com- mitments was $43,210,000 and $29,043,000 at December 31, 1999 and 1998, re- spectively. Commitments to sell loans are designed to eliminate the Mortgage Corporation's exposure to fluctuations in interest rates in connection with loans held for sale. The Mortgage Corporation sells substantially all of the residential mortgage loans it originates to third-party investors, some of whom require the repurchase of loans in the event of early default or faulty documentation. Mortgage loans and their related servicing rights are sold under agreements that define certain eligibility criteria for the mortgage loan. Recourse peri- ods vary from ninety days up to one year and conditions for repurchase vary with the investor. Mortgages subject to recourse are collateralized by single- family residences, have loan-to-value ratios of 80% or C&F Financial Corporation 38 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- less, or have private mortgage insurance, or are insured or guaranteed by an agency of the U.S. government. At December 31, 1999, the Mortgage Corporation had locked-rate commitments to originate mortgage loans amounting to approximately $14,370,000. The Mortgage Corporation has entered into mandatory commitments, on a best-effort basis, to sell loans of approximately $39,256,000. Risks arise from the possible inabil- ity of counterparties to meet the terms of their purchase contracts. The Mort- gage Corporation does not expect any counterparty to fail to meet its obliga- tions. The Mortgage Corporation is committed under noncancelable operating leases for certain office locations. Rent expense associated with these operating leases was $330,000, $297,000, and $244,000 for the years ending December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively. Future minimum lease payments under these leases are as follows:
Year Ending December 31, - ------------------- 2000 $ 347,356 2001 278,540 2002 234,938 2003 198,399 2004 20,202 - ------------------- $1,079,435 - -------------------
As of December 31, 1999, the Corporation had $4,850,000 in deposits in finan- cial institutions in excess of amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insur- ance Corporation (FDIC). NOTE 15: Disclosures Concerning the Fair Market Value of Financial Instruments The following disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments is made in accordance with the requirements of FAS 107, "Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments." The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Corporation using available market information and ap- propriate valuation methodologies. Loan commitments are conditional and sub- ject to market pricing and, therefore, do not reflect a gain or loss of market value. The fair value of standby letters of credit is based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on estimated costs to terminate them or oth- erwise settle the obligations with the counterparties at the reporting date. However, considerable judgment is required to interpret market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Corporation could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or esti- mation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. Cash and short-term investments. The nature of these instruments and their relatively short maturities provide for the reporting of fair value equal to the historical cost. Investment securities. The fair value of investment securities is based on quoted market prices. Loans. The estimate of the fair value of the loan portfolio is estimated based on present values using applicable spreads to the U.S. Treasury curve. Loans held for sale. The fair value of loans held for sale is estimated based on commitments into which individual loans will be delivered. Deposits and borrowings. The fair value of all demand accounts is the amount payable at the report date. For all other deposits and borrowings, the fair value is determined using the discounted cash flow method. The discount rate was equal to the rate currently offered on similar products. Accrued interest. The carrying amount of accrued interest approximates fair value. 1999 Annual Report 39 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE 16: Business Segments The Corporation operates in a decentralized fashion in two principal business activities, retail banking and mortgage banking. Revenues from retail banking operations consist primarily of interest earned on loans and investment secu- rities. Mortgage banking operating revenues consist mainly of interest earned on mortgage loans held for sale, gains on sales of loans in the secondary mortgage market, and loan origination fee income. The Corporation also has an investment company and a title company subsidiary which derive revenues from brokerage and title insurance services. The results of these subsidiaries are not significant to the Corporation as a whole and have been included in "Oth- er." The following table presents segment information for the years ended De- cember 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997.

The retail banking segment provides the mortgage banking segment with the funds needed to originate mortgage loans through a warehouse line of credit and charges the mortgage banking segment interest at the daily FHLB advance rate plus 50 basis points. These transactions are eliminated to reach consolidated totals. Certain corporate overhead costs incurred by the retail banking segment are not allocated to the mortgage banking and other segments. 1999 Annual Report 41 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 17: Parent Company Condensed Financial Information Financial information for the parent company is as follows:

1999 Annual Report 43 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [LOGO] The Board of Directors and Shareholders C&F Financial Corporation We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of C&F Financial Corporation and Subsidiary as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of C&F Financial Corporation and Subsidiary as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. /s/ Yount, Hyde & Barbour, P.C.
