Item 2.

Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On April 15, 2003, the Middleburg Bank (the “Bank”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Middleburg Financial Corporation (the “Company”), acquired 40% of the issued and outstanding membership interest units (the “Acquisition”) of Southern Trust Mortgage, LLC (“Southern Trust”).  The Bank acquired the membership interest units in equal proportion from the seven members of Southern Trust, all of whom own, in the aggregate, the remaining issued and outstanding units of Southern Trust.  Southern Trust is a regional mortgage lender headquartered in Norfolk, Virginia and has offices in Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia.

The purchase price that the Company and the Bank paid in connection with the Acquisition consisted of $6.0 million in cash and 44,359 shares of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”).  The components of the purchase price were determined by arms-length negotiations between the parties.  Based upon a value for the 44,359 shares of Common Stock of $2.0 million, the aggregate purchase price paid by the Company and the Bank to the members of Southern Trust was approximately $8.0 million.
