Item 2.06 Material Impairments.

On December 19, 2007, the Registrant’s board of directors concluded that an impairment charge with respect to the carrying value of Middleburg Bank’s (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant) ownership interest in Southern Trust Mortgage, LLC (“Southern Trust Mortgage”) is required under generally accepted accounting principles. The impairment of value primarily results from earnings declines associated with the slowdown in loan production volume and the increases to loan loss reserves. As a result, for the quarter ending December 31, 2007, the Registrant expects to record a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $5.0 million for the impairment of the carrying value assigned to Southern Trust Mortgage.
