NOTE S TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation: The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial reporting and with applicable quarterly reporting regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). They do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Therefore, these consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the C&F Financial Corporation Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of C&F Financial Corporation (the Corporation) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Citizens and Farmers Bank (the Bank or C&F Bank). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In addition, the Corporation owns C&F Financial Statutory Trust I, C&F Financial Statutory Trust II and Central Virginia Bankshares Statutory Trust I, all of which are unconsolidated subsidiaries. The subordinated debt owed to these trusts is reported as liabilities of the Corporation.  The accounting and reporting policies of C&F Financial Corporation and Subsidiary conform to U.S. GAAP and to predominant practices within the banking industry.

Nature of Operations: The Corporation is a bank holding company incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The Corporation owns all of the stock of its subsidiary, C&F Bank, which is an independent commercial bank chartered under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

C&F Bank has five wholly-owned subsidiaries: C&F Mortgage Corporation and Subsidiary (C&F Mortgage), C&F Finance Company (C&F Finance), C&F Wealth Management Corporation (C&F Wealth Management), C&F Insurance Services, Inc. and CVB Title Services, Inc., all incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. C&F Mortgage, organized in September 1995, was formed to originate and sell residential mortgages and through its subsidiary, Certified Appraisals LLC, provides ancillary mortgage loan production services for residential appraisals. C&F Finance, acquired on September 1, 2002, is a finance company purchasing automobile, boat and recreational vehicle (RV) loans through indirect lending programs. C&F Wealth Management, organized in April 1995, is a full-service brokerage firm offering a comprehensive range of wealth management services and insurance products through an alliance with an independent broker/dealer. C&F Insurance Services, Inc. was organized in July 1999 for the primary purpose of owning an equity interest in an independent insurance agency that operates in Virginia and North Carolina. CVB Title Services, Inc. was organized for the primary purpose of owning an equity interest in an independent title insurance company. Business segment data is presented in Note 8.

Basis of Presentation: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the allowance for indemnifications, impairment of loans, impairment of securities, the valuation of other real estate owned (OREO), the projected benefit obligation under the defined benefit pension plan, the valuation of deferred taxes and goodwill impairment. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations in these financial statements, have been made.

Reclassification: Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform to the current period presentation.  None of these reclassifications are considered material.

Derivative Financial Instruments: The Corporation recognizes derivative financial instruments at fair value as either an other asset or other liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Corporation’s derivative financial instruments include (1) interest rate lock commitments (IRLCs) on mortgage loans that will be sold in the secondary market on a best efforts

8


basis and the related forward commitments to sell mortgage loans, (2) interest rate swaps with certain qualifying commercial loan customers and dealer counterparties and (3) interest rate swaps that qualify as cash flow hedges on the Corporation’s trust preferred capital notes. Because the IRLCs, forward sales commitments and interest rate swaps with loan customers and dealer counterparties are not designated as hedging instruments, adjustments to reflect unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of these instruments are reported as noninterest income or noninterest expense, as applicable. The effective portion of the gain or loss on the Corporation’s cash flow hedges is reported as a component of other comprehensive income, net of deferred income taxes, and reclassified into earnings in the same period(s) during which the hedged transactions affect earnings. The Corporation’s derivative financial instruments are described more fully in Note 10.

Share-Based Compensation: Shared-based compensation expense, net of forfeitures, for the second quarter of 2018 and the first six months of 2018 was $321,000 ($238,000 after tax) and $640,000 ($475,000 after tax), respectively, for restricted stock granted during 2013 through 2018. As of June 30, 2018, there was $2.96 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested restricted stock that will be recognized over the remaining requisite service periods.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements:

On January 1, 2018, the Corporation adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, “ Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) ,” and all amendments thereto (collectively, ASU 2014-09), which (i) creates a single framework for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers that fall within its scope and (ii) revises when it is appropriate to recognize a gain/loss from the transfer of nonfinancial assets, such as OREO. The Corporation adopted ASU 2014-09 using the modified retrospective method applied to all contracts not completed as of January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASU 2014-09, while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with pronouncements in effect prior to January 1, 2018. The adoption of ASU 2014-09 did not result in a change to the accounting for any of the in-scope revenue streams; therefore, no cumulative effect adjustment was recorded.

9


Most revenue associated with the Corporation’s financial instruments, including interest income and gains/losses on investment securities, derivatives and sales of financial instruments are outside the scope of ASU 2014-09. The Corporation’s services that fall within the scope of ASU 2014-09 are presented within noninterest income and are recognized as revenue as the Corporation satisfies its obligation to the customer. A description of the Corporation’s primary revenue streams accounted for under ASU 2014-09 follows:

Service Charges on Deposit Accounts. The Corporation earns fees from its deposit customers for overdraft and account maintenance services. Overdraft fees are recognized when the overdraft occurs. Account maintenance fees, which relate primarily to monthly maintenance, are earned over the course of a month, representing the period over which the Corporation satisfies the performance obligation.

Other Service Charges and Fees. The Corporation earns fees from its customers for transaction-based services. Such services include safe deposit box, ATM, stop payment and wire transfer fees at the retail banking segment and on-line payment processing and statement request fees at the consumer finance segment. In each case, these service charges and fees are recognized in income at the time or within the same period that the Corporation’s performance obligation is satisfied.

Interchange Income. The Corporation earns interchange fees from debit and affinity credit cardholder transactions conducted through various payment networks. Interchange fees from cardholder transactions represent a percentage of the underlying transaction value and are recognized daily, concurrently with the transaction processing services.

Wealth Management Services Income. The Corporation earns wealth management services income by providing investment brokerage services and health and life insurance products to its customers through third-party service providers. Fees that are transaction-based (e.g., execution of trades) are recognized on a monthly basis. Other fees, or commissions, are earned over time as the contracted monthly or quarterly services are provided and are generally assessed based on either account activity or the market value of assets under management at month or quarter end.

Gains/Losses on Sales of OREO . The Corporation records a gain/loss from the sale of OREO when control of the property transfers to the buyer, which generally occurs at the time of an executed deed. When the Corporation finances the sale of OREO to the buyer, the Corporation assesses whether the buyer is committed to perform the obligations under the contract and whether collectability of the transaction price is probable. In determining the gain/loss on the sale, the Corporation adjusts the transaction price and the related gain/loss on sale if a significant financing component is present.

On January 1, 2018, the Corporation adopted ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10):  Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” ASU 2016-01 makes targeted improvements to several areas of U.S. GAAP including the disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The new guidance, among other things, (i) eliminates the requirements to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value and the description of the changes therein, if any, during the period, (ii) requires the use of the exit price notion in calculating the fair values of financial instruments not measured at fair value on a recurring basis and (iii) eliminates the guidance that allowed the use of the entry price notion to calculate the fair value of certain financial instruments, such as loans and long-term debt. Accordingly, the Corporation disclosed the fair value of these financial instruments as of June 30, 2018 using an exit price notion rather than an entry price notion (see “Note 7: Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities”).

On January 1, 2018, the Bank adopted ASU 2017-07, “ Compensation-Retirement Benefits (Topic 715):  Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost .” ASU 2017-07 requires that the service cost component of the net periodic benefit cost be presented with other employee compensation costs and that the remaining components be presented in the aggregate with noninterest income or noninterest expense, as appropriate. This guidance is required to be applied on a retrospective basis. Accordingly, income of $123,000 and $246,000 was reclassified from “Salaries and employee benefits” to “Noninterest income – Other” on the Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, to reflect the adoption of ASU 2017-07.

Recent Significant Accounting Pronouncements:

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2016-02, “ Leases (Topic 842) .” Among other things, in the amendments in ASU 2016-02, lessees will be required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: (1) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (2) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Under the new guidance, lessor accounting is largely unchanged. Certain targeted improvements were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model and Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. Lessees (for capital and operating leases) and lessors (for sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases) must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. Lessees and lessors may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. The Corporation has completed an inventory of all buildings and equipment it leases from third parties. The Corporation has not yet determined an estimate of the effect that ASU 2016-02 will have on its financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “ Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” , as part of its project on financial instruments. ASU 2016-13 introduces an approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments. It also modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities and provides for a simplified accounting model for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration since their origination.  For public business entities that are SEC filers, the new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019.  Early adoption will be permitted for all organizations for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018.  The Corporation has established a working group that is in the process of gathering historical data and evaluating appropriate portfolio segmentation and modeling methods.  The Corporation has not yet determined an estimate of the effect that ASU 2016-13 will have on its financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “ Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment ”, which removes the requirement to compare the implied fair value of goodwill with its carrying amount as part of step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. As a result, under ASU 2017-04, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.  ASU 2017-04 is effective for public business entities that are SEC filers for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019.  Early adoption is permitted. The Corporation does not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-04 to have a material effect on its financial statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, “ Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20) ”, which requires all entities that hold investments in callable debt securities at a premium to amortize the premium to the earliest call date.  ASU 2017-08 does not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount. ASU 2017-08 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted.  The Corporation does not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-08 to have a material effect on its financial statements.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, “ Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities .”  The amendments in this ASU modify the designation and measurement guidance for hedge accounting as well as provide for increased transparency regarding the presentation of economic results on both the financial statements and related footnotes.  Certain aspects of hedge effectiveness assessments will also be simplified upon implementation of this update.   The amendments are effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018.  Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period.  The Corporation does not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-12 to have a material effect on its financial statements.

11


Other accounting standards that have been issued by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not currently expected to have a material effect on the Corporation’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

There were 251 debt securities totaling $146.82 million considered temporarily impaired at June 30, 2018. The primary cause of the temporary impairments in the Corporation's investments in debt securities was fluctuations in interest rates. Interest rates increased during the second quarter of 2018, more significantly in the short-term portion of the United States Treasury security yield curve, thereby increasing unrealized losses on the Corporation’s debt securities. The Corporation’s mortgage-backed securities are entirely issued by either U.S. government agencies or U.S. government-sponsored enterprises.  Collectively, these entities provide a guarantee, which is either explicitly or implicitly supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, that investors in such mortgage-backed securities will receive timely principal and interest payments.  At June 30, 2018, approximately 97 percent of the Corporation's obligations of states and political subdivisions, as measured by market value, were rated “A” or better by Standard & Poor's (S&P) or Moody's Investors Service (Moody’s). Of those in a net unrealized loss position, approximately 98 percent were rated “A” or better by S&P or Moody’s, as measured by market value, at June 30, 2018. For the approximately two percent not rated “A” or better, as measured by market value at June 30, 2018, the Corporation considers these to meet regulatory credit quality standards, meaning that the securities have low risk of default by the obligor, and the full and timely repayment of principal and interest is expected over the expected life of the investment. Because the Corporation intends to hold these investments in debt securities to maturity and it is more likely than not that the Corporation will not be required to sell these investments before a recovery of unrealized losses, the Corporation does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2018 and no other-than-temporary impairment loss has been recognized in net income.

The Corporation’s investment in restricted stock totaled $3.35 million at June 30, 2018 and consisted of Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock.  Restricted stock is generally viewed as a long-term investment, which is carried at cost because there is no market for the stock other than the FHLBs. Therefore, when evaluating restricted stock for impairment, its value is based on the ultimate recoverability of the par value rather than by recognizing any temporary decline in value. The Corporation does not consider its investment in restricted stock to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2018 and no impairment has been recognized. Total restricted stock is shown as a separate line item on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and is not a part of the available-for-sale securities portfolio.

PCI loans had an unpaid principal balance of $11.54 million and a carrying value of $2.70 million at June 30, 2018. Determining the fair value of PCI loans required the Corporation to estimate cash flows expected to result from those loans and to discount those cash flows at appropriate rates of interest. For such loans, the excess of the cash flows expected at acquisition over the estimated fair value is recognized as interest income over the remaining lives of the loans and is called the accretable yield. The difference between contractually required payments at acquisition and the cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition reflects the effect of estimated credit losses and is called the nonaccretable difference, and is not recorded. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, there was no carry-over of the previously established allowance for loan losses for acquired loans.

The following table presents a summary of the change in the accretable yield of the PCI loan portfolio:

NOTE 5: Shareholders’ Equity, Other Comprehensive Income and Earnings Per Share

Shareholders’ Equity

During the first six months of 2018 and 2017, no shares of the Corporation’s common stock were purchased under the share repurchase program authorized by the Corporation’s Board of Directors. The Corporation withheld 3,947 and 4,049 shares of its common stock from employees to satisfy tax withholding obligations arising upon the vesting of restricted shares during the first six months of 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

The following table presents the cumulative balances of the components of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of deferred taxes of $1.09 million and $491,000 as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

The Corporation has applied the two-class method of computing basic and diluted EPS for each period presented because the Corporation’s unvested restricted shares outstanding contain rights to nonforfeitable dividends.  Accordingly, the weighted average number of shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted EPS includes both vested and unvested shares outstanding.

Potential shares that may be issued by the Corporation for its stock option awards are determined using the treasury stock method. Accordingly, anti-dilutive shares are not included in computing diluted earnings per share. There were no anti-dilutive stock options outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017. There were no stock options outstanding during the first half of 2018.

NOTE 7: Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. U.S. GAAP requires that valuation techniques maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. U.S. GAAP also establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the valuation inputs into three broad levels. Based on the underlying inputs, each fair value measurement in its entirety is reported in one of the three levels. These levels are:

·

Level 1—Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets. Level 1 assets and liabilities include debt and equity securities traded in an active exchange market, as well as U.S. Treasury securities.

·

Level 2—Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

·

Level 3—Valuation is determined using model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect the Corporation's estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the respective asset or liability. Valuation techniques may include the use of pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

U.S. GAAP allows an entity the irrevocable option to elect fair value (the fair value option) for the initial and subsequent measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis.  The Corporation has elected to use fair value accounting for its entire portfolio of loans held for sale (LHFS).

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The following describes the valuation techniques and inputs used by the Corporation in determining the fair value of certain assets recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the financial statements.

Securities available for sale. The Corporation primarily values its investment portfolio using Level 2 fair value measurements, but may also use Level 1 or Level 3 measurements if required by the composition of the portfolio. At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Corporation's entire investment securities portfolio was comprised of securities available for sale, which were valued using Level 2 fair value measurements. The Corporation has contracted with third party portfolio accounting service vendors for valuation of its securities portfolio. The vendors’ sources for security valuation are ICE Data Services (ICE) and Thomson Reuters Pricing Service (TRPS).  Each source provides opinions, known as evaluated prices, as to the value of individual securities based on model-based pricing techniques that are partially based on available market data, including prices for similar instruments in active markets and prices for identical assets in markets that are not active. ICE provides evaluated prices for the Corporation's obligations of states and political subdivisions category of securities.  ICE uses proprietary pricing models and pricing systems, mathematical tools and judgment to determine an evaluated price for a security based upon a hierarchy of market information regarding that security or securities with similar characteristics.  TRPS provides evaluated prices for the Corporation's U.S. government agencies and corporations and mortgage-backed categories of securities.  Fixed-rate callable securities of the U.S. government agencies and corporations category are individually evaluated on an option adjusted spread basis for callable issues or on a nominal spread basis incorporating the term structure of agency market spreads and the appropriate risk free benchmark curve for non-callable issues.  Fixed-rate securities issued by the Small Business Association in the U.S. government agencies and corporations category are individually evaluated based upon a hierarchy of security specific information and market data regarding that security or securities with similar characteristics. Pass-through mortgage-backed securities (MBS) in the mortgage-backed category are grouped into aggregate categories defined by issuer program, weighted average coupon, and weighted average maturity.  Each aggregate is benchmarked to a relative mortgage-backed to-be-announced (TBA) or other benchmark price. TBA prices are obtained from market makers and live trading systems. Collateralized mortgage obligations in the mortgage-backed category are individually evaluated based upon a hierarchy of

22


security specific information and market data regarding that security or securities with similar characteristics.  Each evaluation is determined using an option adjusted spread and prepayment model based on volatility-driven, multi-dimensional spread tables.

Loans held for sale (LHFS). Fair value of the Corporation’s LHFS is based on observable market prices for similar instruments traded in the secondary mortgage loan markets in which the Corporation conducts business. The Corporation's portfolio of LHFS is classified as Level 2.

Derivative asset - IRLCs. The Corporation recognizes IRLCs at fair value. Fair value of IRLCs is based on either (i) the price of the underlying loans obtained from an investor for loans that will be delivered on a best efforts basis or (ii) the observable price for individual loans traded in the secondary market for loans that will be delivered on a mandatory basis. All of the Corporation's IRLCs are classified as Level 2.

Derivative asset/liability – interest rate swaps on loans. The Corporation recognizes interest rate swaps at fair value.  The Corporation has contracted with a third party vendor to provide valuations for these interest rate swaps using standard valuation techniques. All of the Corporation’s interest rate swaps on loans are classified as Level 2.

Derivative asset - cash flow hedges. The Corporation recognizes cash flow hedges at fair value. The fair value of the Corporation’s cash flow hedges is determined using the discounted cash flow method.  All of the Corporation’s cash flow hedges are classified as Level 2.

The following table presents the balances of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

The Corporation may be required, from time to time, to measure and recognize certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with U. S. GAAP. The following describes the valuation techniques and inputs used by the Corporation in determining the fair value of certain assets recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in the financial statements.

Impaired loans. The Corporation does not record loans held for investment at fair value on a recurring basis. However, there are instances when a loan is considered impaired and an allowance for loan losses is established. The Corporation measures impairment either based on the fair value of the loan using the loan’s obtainable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent, or using the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, which is not a fair value measurement. The Corporation maintains a valuation allowance to the extent that this measure of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan. When an impaired loan is measured at fair value based solely on observable market prices or a current appraisal without further adjustment for unobservable inputs, the Corporation records the impaired loan as a nonrecurring fair value measurement classified as Level 2. However, if based on management’s review, additional discounts to observed market prices or appraisals are required or if observable inputs are not available, the Corporation records the impaired loan as a nonrecurring fair value measurement classified as Level 3.

Impaired loans that are measured based on expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate rather than the market rate of interest, are not recorded at fair value and are therefore excluded from fair value disclosure requirements.

OREO. Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are held for sale and are initially recorded at fair value less estimated costs to sell at the date of foreclosure. Initial fair value is based upon appraisals the Corporation obtains from independent licensed appraisers. Subsequent to foreclosure, management periodically performs valuations of the foreclosed assets based on updated appraisals, general market conditions, recent sales of similar properties, length of time the properties have been held, and our ability and intent with regard to continued ownership of the properties. The Corporation may incur additional write-downs of foreclosed assets to fair value less estimated costs to sell if valuations

24


indicate a further deterioration in market conditions. As such, the Corporation records OREO as a nonrecurring fair value measurement classified as Level 3.

The following table presents the balances of assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

FASB ASC 825, Financial Instruments , requires disclosure about fair value of financial instruments, including those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not required to be measured and reported at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis. ASC 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Corporation. Additionally, in accordance with ASU 2016-01, which the Corporation adopted on January 1, 2018 on a prospective basis, the Corporation uses the exit price notion, rather than the entry price notion, in calculating the fair values of financial instruments not measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

NOTE 8: Business Segments

The Corporation operates in a decentralized fashion in three principal business segments: Retail Banking, Mortgage Banking and Consumer Finance. Revenues from Retail Banking operations consist primarily of interest earned on loans and investment securities and service charges on deposit accounts. Mortgage Banking operating revenues consist principally of gains on sales of loans in the secondary market, loan origination fee income and interest earned on mortgage loans held for sale. Revenues from Consumer Finance consist primarily of interest earned on purchased retail installment sales contracts.

26


The Corporation’s other segment includes a full-service brokerage firm that derives revenues from offering wealth management services and insurance products through an alliance with an independent broker/dealer and an insurance company that derives revenues from owning an equity interest in an insurance agency that offers insurance products and services. The results of the other segment are not significant to the Corporation as a whole and have been included in “Other.” Revenue and expenses of the Corporation are also included in “Other,” and consist primarily of interest expense associated with the Corporation’s trust preferred capital notes and other general corporate expenses.

The retail banking segment extends a warehouse line of credit to the mortgage banking segment, providing a portion of the funds needed to originate mortgage loans. The retail banking segment charges the mortgage banking segment interest at the daily FHLB advance rate plus 50 basis points. The retail banking segment also provides the consumer finance segment with a portion of the funds needed to purchase loan contracts by means of variable rate notes that carry interest at one-month LIBOR plus 200 basis points and fixed rate notes that carry interest at rates ranging from 2.0 percent to 8.0 percent. The retail banking segment acquires certain residential real estate loans from the mortgage banking segment at prices similar to those paid by third-party investors. 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, consumer finance and other segments.

NOTE 9: Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

The Corporation enters into commitments to extend credit in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers, including loan commitments and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Corporation’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.

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. Commitments 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 necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of loan commitments was $234.37 million at June 30, 2018 and $224.50 million at December 31, 2017.

Standby letters of credit are written conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee 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 extending loans to customers. The total contract amount of standby letters of credit, whose contract amounts represent credit risk, was $16.27 million at June 30, 2018 and $15.46 million at December 31, 2017.

C&F Mortgage sells substantially all of the residential mortgage loans it originates to third-party counterparties (i.e., investors). As is customary in the industry, the agreements with these counterparties require C&F Mortgage to extend representations and warranties with respect to program compliance, borrower misrepresentation, fraud, and early payment performance. Under the agreements, the counterparties are entitled to make loss claims and repurchase requests of C&F Mortgage for loans that contain covered deficiencies. C&F Mortgage has obtained early payment default recourse waivers for a significant portion of its business. Recourse periods for early payment default for the remaining counterparties vary from 90 days up to one year. Recourse periods for borrower misrepresentation or fraud or underwriting error do not have a stated time limit. C&F Mortgage maintains an indemnification reserve for potential claims made under these recourse provisions. The following table presents the changes in the allowance for indemnification losses for the periods presented:

NOTE 10: Derivative Financial Instruments

The Corporation uses derivative financial instruments (or derivatives) primarily to manage risks to the Corporation associated with changing interest rates, and to assist customers with their risk management objectives. The Corporation designates certain derivatives as hedging instruments in a qualifying hedge accounting relationship (cash flow or fair value hedge). The remaining derivatives are classified as free standing derivatives consisting of customer accommodation loan swaps (or loan swaps) and IRLCs.

Cash flow hedges . The Corporation designates derivatives as cash flow hedges when they are used to manage exposure to variability in cash flows on variable rate borrowings such as the Corporation’s trust preferred capital notes. The Corporation uses interest rate swap agreements as part of its hedging strategy by exchanging variable-rate interest payments on a notional amount equal to the principal amount of the borrowings for fixed-rate interest payments, with such interest rates set based on benchmarked interest rates.

All interest rate swaps were entered into with counterparties that met the Corporation’s credit standards and the agreements contain collateral provisions protecting the at-risk party. The Corporation believes that the credit risk inherent in these derivative contracts is not significant.

29


The terms and conditions of the interest rate swaps vary and amounts receivable or payable are recognized as accrued under the terms of the agreements. The Corporation assesses the effectiveness of each hedging relationship on a periodic basis. In accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging , the effective portions of the derivatives’ unrealized gains or losses are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income. Based on the Corporation’s assessment its cash flow hedges are highly effective, but to the extent that any ineffectiveness exists in the hedge relationships, the amounts would be recorded in interest income and interest expense in the Corporation’s Consolidated Statements of Income.

Loan swaps .  The Bank also enters into interest rate swaps with certain qualifying commercial loan customers to meet their interest rate risk management needs. The Bank simultaneously enters into interest rate swaps with dealer counterparties, with identical notional amounts and terms. The net result of these interest rate swaps is that the customer pays a fixed rate of interest and the Corporation receives a floating rate. These back-to-back loan swaps qualify as financial derivatives with fair values reported in “Other assets” and “Other liabilities” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.  Changes in fair value are recorded in other noninterest expense and net to zero because of the identical amounts and terms of the swaps.

IRLCs .  C&F Mortgage enters into IRLCs with customers to originate loans for which the interest rates are determined prior to funding. C&F Mortgage then mitigates interest rate risk on these IRLCs and loans held for sale by (a) entering into forward loan sales contracts with investors for loans to be delivered on a best efforts basis or (b) entering into forward sales contracts of mortgage backed securities for loans to be delivered on a mandatory basis. At June 30, 2018, each loan held for sale by C&F Mortgage was subject to a forward sales agreement on a best efforts basis. The fair value of these derivative instruments is reported in “Other assets” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We caution readers not to place undue reliance on those statements, which speak only as of the date of this report.  We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances arising after the date on which the statement was made, except as otherwise required by law.

The following discussion supplements and provides information about the major components of the results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and capital resources of the Corporation. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions. Those accounting policies with the greatest uncertainty and that require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments affecting the application of these policies, and the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions, or using different assumptions, are described below.

Allowance for Loan Losses: We establish the allowance for loan losses through charges to earnings in the form of a provision for loan losses. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when we believe that the collection of the principal is unlikely. Subsequent recoveries of losses previously charged against the allowance are credited to the allowance. The allowance represents an amount that, in our judgment, will be adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Our judgment in determining the level of the allowance is based on evaluations of the collectibility of loans while taking into consideration such factors as trends in delinquencies and charge-offs for relevant periods of time, changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions that may affect a borrower’s ability to repay and the value of collateral, overall portfolio quality and review of specific potential losses. This evaluation is inherently subjective because it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.  For more information see the section titled “Asset Quality” within Part I, Item 2.

33


Allowance for Indemnifications: The allowance for indemnifications is established through charges to earnings in the form of a provision for indemnifications, which is included in other noninterest expenses. A loss is charged against the allowance for indemnifications when a purchaser of a loan (investor) sold by C&F Mortgage incurs a validated indemnified loss due to borrower misrepresentation, fraud, early default, or underwriting error. The allowance represents an amount that, in management’s judgment, will be adequate to absorb any losses arising from valid indemnification requests for loans that have been sold by C&F Mortgage. Management’s judgment in determining the level of the allowance is based on the volume of loans sold, historical experience, current economic conditions and information provided by investors. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

Impairment of Loans: We consider a loan impaired when it is probable that the Corporation will be unable to collect all interest and principal payments as scheduled in the loan agreement. We do not consider a loan impaired during a period of delay in payment if we expect the ultimate collection of all amounts due. We measure impairment on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial, construction and residential loans based on either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. We maintain a valuation allowance to the extent that the measure of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan. All TDRs are also considered impaired loans and are evaluated individually. A TDR occurs when we agree to significantly modify the original terms of a loan by granting a concession due to the deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower.

Loans Acquired in a Business Combination: Loans acquired in the acquisition of CVBK and its subsidiary CVB were segregated between (i) PCI loans and (ii) purchased performing loans and were recorded at estimated fair value on the date of acquisition without the carryover of the related allowance for loan losses.

PCI loans are those for which there is evidence of credit deterioration since origination and for which it is probable at the date of acquisition that the Corporation will not collect all contractually required principal and interest payments. When determining fair value, PCI loans were aggregated into pools of loans based on common risk characteristics as of the date of acquisition such as loan type, date of origination, and evidence of credit quality deterioration such as internal risk grades and past due and nonaccrual status. The difference between contractually required payments at acquisition and the cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition is referred to as the “nonaccretable difference.” Any excess of cash flows expected at acquisition over the estimated fair value is referred to as the “accretable yield” and is recognized as interest income over the remaining life of the loan when there is a reasonable expectation about the amount and timing of such cash flows.

On a quarterly basis, we evaluate our estimate of cash flows expected to be collected on PCI loans. Estimates of cash flows for PCI loans require significant judgment. Subsequent decreases to the expected cash flows will generally result in a provision for loan losses resulting in an increase to the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent significant increases in cash flows may result in a reversal of post-acquisition provision for loan losses or a transfer from nonaccretable difference to accretable yield that increases interest income over the remaining life of the loan or pool(s) of loans. Disposals of loans, which may include sale of loans to third parties, receipt of payments in full or in part from the borrower or foreclosure of the collateral, result in removal of the loan from the PCI loan portfolio at its carrying amount.

The Corporation's PCI loans currently consist of loans acquired in connection with the acquisition of CVB. PCI loans that were classified as nonperforming loans by CVB are no longer classified as nonperforming so long as, at quarterly re-estimation periods, we believe we will fully collect the new carrying value of the pools of loans.

The Corporation accounts for purchased performing loans using the contractual cash flows method of recognizing discount accretion based on the acquired loans' contractual cash flows. Purchased performing loans are recorded at fair value, including a credit discount. The fair value discount is accreted as an adjustment to yield over the estimated lives of the loans. There is no allowance for loan losses established at the acquisition date for purchased performing loans. A provision for loan losses may be required for any deterioration in these loans in future periods.

34


Impairment of Securities: Impairment of securities occurs when the fair value of a security is less than its amortized cost. For debt securities, impairment is considered other-than-temporary and recognized in its entirety in net income if either (i) we intend to sell the security or (ii) it is more-likely-than-not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If, however, we do not intend to sell the security and it is not more-likely-than-not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery, we must determine what portion of the impairment is attributable to a credit loss, which occurs when the amortized cost basis of the security exceeds the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected from the security. If there is no credit loss, there is no other-than-temporary impairment. If there is a credit loss, other-than-temporary impairment exists, and the credit loss must be recognized in net income and the remaining portion of impairment must be recognized in other comprehensive income.

We regularly review each investment security for other-than-temporary impairment based on criteria that includes the extent to which cost exceeds market price, the duration of that market decline, the financial health of and specific prospects for the issuer, our best estimate of the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from debt securities, our intention with regard to holding the security to maturity and the likelihood that we would be required to sell the security before recovery.

Other Real Estate Owned (OREO): Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are held for sale and are initially recorded at the fair value less estimated costs to sell at the date of foreclosure. Subsequent to foreclosure, management periodically performs valuations of the foreclosed assets based on updated appraisals, general market conditions, recent sales of similar properties, length of time the properties have been held, and our ability and intention with regard to continued ownership of the properties. The Corporation may incur additional write-downs of foreclosed assets to fair value less estimated costs to sell if valuations indicate a further deterioration in market conditions.

Goodwill: The Corporation's goodwill was recognized in connection with the Corporation's acquisition of CVBK in October 2013 and C&F Bank's acquisition of C&F Finance Company in September 2002. The Corporation reviews the carrying value of goodwill at least annually or more frequently if certain impairment indicators exist. In assessing the recoverability of the Corporation’s goodwill, major assumptions used in determining impairment are increases in future income, sales multiples in determining terminal value and the discount rate applied to future cash flows. If an impairment test is performed, we will prepare a sensitivity analysis by increasing the discount rate, lowering sales multiples and reducing increases in future income.

Retirement Plan: C&F Bank maintains a non-contributory, defined benefit pension plan for eligible full-time employees as specified by the plan. Plan assets, which consist primarily of mutual funds invested in marketable equity securities and corporate and government fixed income securities, are valued using market quotations. C&F Bank’s actuary determines plan obligations and annual pension expense using a number of key assumptions. Key assumptions may include the discount rate, the interest crediting rate, the estimated future return on plan assets and the anticipated rate of future salary increases. Changes in these assumptions in the future, if any, or in the method under which benefits are calculated may affect pension assets, liabilities or expense.

Derivative Financial Instruments: The Corporation uses derivatives primarily to manage risk associated with changing interest rates and to assist customers with their risk management objectives. The Corporation’s derivative financial instruments may include (1) interest rate lock commitments (IRLCs) on mortgage loans that will be held for sale and the related forward sales commitments, (2) interest rate swaps with certain qualifying commercial loan customers and dealer counterparties and (3) interest rate swaps that qualify as cash flow hedges of the Corporation’s trust preferred capital notes. The Corporation recognizes derivative financial instruments at fair value as either an other asset or other liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.  Because the IRLCs, forward sales commitments and interest rate swaps with loan customers and dealer counterparties are classified as free standing derivatives, adjustments to reflect unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value of these instruments are reported in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The effective portion of the gain or loss on the Corporation’s cash flow hedges is reported as a component of other comprehensive income, net of deferred income taxes, and is reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transactions affect earnings.

Income Taxes: Determining the Corporation’s effective tax rate requires judgment. The Corporation’s net deferred tax asset is determined annually for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that

35


will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. In addition, there may be transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax outcomes are uncertain and the Corporation’s tax returns are subject to audit by various tax authorities. Although we believe that the estimates are reasonable, no assurance can be given that the final tax outcome will not be materially different than that which is reflected in the income tax provision and accrual.

For further information concerning accounting policies, refer to Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data,” under the heading “Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

OVERVIEW

Our primary financial goals are to maximize the Corporation’s earnings and to deploy capital in profitable growth initiatives that will enhance long-term shareholder value. We track three primary financial performance measures in order to assess the level of success in achieving these goals: (i) return on average assets (ROA), (ii) return on average equity (ROE), and (iii) growth in earnings.  In addition to these financial performance measures, we track the performance of the Corporation’s three principal business segments: Retail Banking, Mortgage Banking, and Consumer Finance.  We also actively manage our capital through growth, dividends and share repurchases, while considering the need to maintain a strong regulatory capital position.

Financial Performance Measures

Net income for the Corporation was $5.1 million for the second quarter of 2018, or $1.45 per common share assuming dilution, compared with net income of $4.1 million for the second quarter of 2017, or $1.19 per common share assuming dilution. Net income for the Corporation was $9.0 million for the first half of 2018, or $2.56 per common share assuming dilution, compared with net income of $6.9 million for the first half of 2017, or $1.97 per common share assuming dilution.

The Corporation’s annualized ROE and ROA were 14.16 percent and 1.34 percent, respectively, for the second quarter of 2018, compared to 11.63 percent and 1.14 percent, respectively, for the second quarter of 2017. The Corporation’s annualized ROE and ROA were 12.62 percent and 1.19 percent, respectively, for the first half of 2018, compared to 9.76 percent and 0.95 percent, respectively, for the first half of 2017. The increases in ROE and ROA for the second quarter and first half of 2018, compared to the same periods in 2017, resulted from higher earnings.

Principal Business Segments

An overview of the financial results for each of the Corporation’s principal segments is presented below. A more detailed discussion is included in the section “Results of Operations.”

Retail Banking: The retail banking segment reported net income of $2.4 million for the second quarter of 2018, compared to net income of $2.1 million for the second quarter of 2017. For the first six months of 2018, the retail banking segment reported net income of $4.8 million, compared to $3.9 million for the first six months of 2017.

In addition to the favorable effect of the lower federal corporate income tax rate, positive factors influencing net income of the retail banking segment for the second quarter and first half of 2018 included: (1) the effect of loan growth on interest income, as average loans increased $36.3 million or 5.2 percent during the second quarter of 2018 and $37.2 million or 5.4 percent during the first half of 2018 compared to the same periods in 2017 and (2) a decline in the provision for loan losses primarily attributable to the stabilization of certain commercial credits in 2018 that were concerns in 2017. Partially offsetting these factors were (1) higher operating expenses associated with C&F Bank continuing to (a) strengthen its technology infrastructure, (b) expand its product offerings, (c) promote brand awareness, (d) expand its market presence in Charlottesville, Virginia and (e) enhance compliance processes and (2) margin compression resulting from an increase in excess cash balances, a decline in yield on securities resulting from a higher mix of lower-yielding taxable securities in 2018, compared to 2017, and an increase in interest-bearing deposits as interest rates continue to rise.

36


C&F Bank’s total nonperforming assets were $3.0 million at June 30, 2018, compared to $5.4 million at December 31, 2017. Nonperforming assets at June 30, 2018 consisted primarily of $2.8 million in nonaccrual loans, compared to $5.3 million at December 31, 2017. The decline in nonaccrual loans since December 31, 2017 resulted primarily from a partial repayment of one commercial relationship.

Mortgage Banking: The mortgage banking segment reported net income of $779,000 for the second quarter of 2018, compared to net income of $607,000 for the second quarter of 2017. For the first six months of 2018, the mortgage banking segment reported net income of $1.2 million, compared to net income of $904,000 for the first six months of 2017.

In addition to the favorable effect of the lower federal corporate income tax rate, the increase in net income of the mortgage banking segment for the second quarter and first half of 2018 was due primarily to a decrease in operating expenses compared to the same periods in 2017 resulting from operational efficiencies and management of personnel costs.  In addition, the Lender Solutions division, which provides certain mortgage origination services to third parties, produced fee income of $92,000 and $172,000 in the second quarter and first half of 2018, respectively, compared to $55,000 and $101,000 in the second quarter and first half of 2017. Partially offsetting these factors were a 2.4 percent decrease in loan production in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017, which resulted in a decrease in gains on sales of loans, and a decrease in ancillary loan origination fees in the first half of 2018 compared to the first half of 2017. Mortgage loan originations during the second quarter of 2018 for refinancings and home purchases were $22.6 million and $183.9 million, respectively, compared to $22.9 million and $185.9 million, respectively, during the second quarter of 2017. Mortgage loan originations during the first half of 2018 for refinancings and home purchases were $45.2 million and $302.4 million, respectively, compared to $45.5 million and $304.4 million, respectively, during the first half of 2017.

Consumer Finance: The consumer finance segment reported net income of $2.2 million for the second quarter of 2018, compared to net income of $1.6 million for the second quarter of 2017. For the first six months of 2018, the consumer finance segment reported net income of $3.7 million, compared to net income of $2.6 million for the first six months of 2017.

In addition to the favorable effect of the lower federal corporate income tax rate, positive factors influencing net income of the consumer finance segment for the second quarter and first half of 2018 included (1) a decline of $1.0 million and $2.0 million in the provision for loan losses for the second quarter and first half of 2018, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2017, as a result of lower charge-offs and improving credit quality of the portfolio, as discussed below, and (2) lower personnel and operating expenses resulting from underwriting efficiencies and the purchase of loans with higher credit metrics. Partially offsetting these factors were (1) lower loan yields resulting from competition in the non-prime automobile loan business and the acquisition of loan contracts with higher credit metrics, as well as relatively lower yields on boat and RV loans, and (2) higher-cost variable-rate borrowings resulting from increases in short-term interest rates since the first quarter of 2017.

The annualized net charge-off ratio for the first six months of 2018 decreased to 3.85 percent from 5.34 percent for the first six months of 2017 as a result of a lower number of charge-offs during the first half of 2018. At June 30, 2018, total delinquent loans as a percentage of total loans was 4.18 percent, compared to 5.17 percent at December 31, 2017 and 4.40 percent at June 30, 2017. At June 30, 2018, repossessed vehicles available for sale totaled $247,000, compared to $250,000 at December 31, 2017 and $351,000 at June 30, 2017. The allowance for loan losses was $24.0 million, or 8.11 percent of total loans at June 30, 2018, compared to $24.4 million, or 8.34 percent of total loans at December 31, 2017. If factors influencing the consumer finance segment result in a higher net charge-off ratio in the future, or if the consumer finance segment’s loan portfolio should grow, the segment may need to increase the level of its allowance for loan losses, which would negatively affect future earnings.

During the first quarter of 2018, C&F Finance Company began the expansion of its indirect lending programs to include boats and RVs. These contracts are for prime loans made to individuals with very high credit quality and are therefore priced at rates lower than the consumer finance segment’s non-prime automobile portfolio. While these loans may contribute to net interest margin compression, management expects they will require both a lower provision for loan losses and allowance for loan losses than the consumer finance segment’s non-prime automobile loans, contributing to a decrease in the overall level of the consumer finance segment’s allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans. At June 30,

37


2018, compared to December 31, 2017, the higher composition within the consumer finance segment’s loan portfolio of boat and RV loans accounted for 16 basis points of the 23 basis points decrease in this ratio.

Other Segments: Other segments, which principally includes the Corporation’s holding company operations and wealth management subsidiary, reported an aggregate net loss of $309,000 and $662,000 for the second quarter and first half of 2018, compared to a net loss of $203,000 and $533,000 for the second quarter and first half of 2017.  The higher net loss during 2018, compared to 2017, included higher operating expenses at the holding company and a lower federal income tax benefit, which were offset in part by higher earnings at the Corporation’s wealth management subsidiary.

Capital Management. Total shareholders' equity was $146.5 million at June 30, 2018, compared to $141.7 million at December 31, 2017. Capital growth resulted primarily from earnings for the first half of 2018, which was offset in part by dividends declared of 34 cents and 68 cents per share during the second quarter and first half of 2018, respectively, and an increase in unrealized holding losses on securities available for sale, which is a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. The second quarter dividend was paid on July 1, 2018 and equated to a payout ratio of 23.4 percent of second quarter earnings per share. For the four quarters ended June 30, 2018, dividends declared of $1.35 per share equated to 54.5 percent of net income during the same period, which included a $6.6 million reduction in net income due to the remeasurement of deferred income taxes as a result of the enactment of a reduction in the federal corporate income tax rate in December 2017. The Board of Directors of the Corporation continually reviews the amount of cash dividends per share and the resulting dividend payout ratio in light of changes in economic conditions, current and future capital requirements and expected future earnings.

On April 18, 2018, the Board of Directors reauthorized the Corporation’s share repurchase program for the Corporation’s outstanding common stock (the Repurchase Program) to purchase up to $5.0 million of the Corporation’s common stock through May 31, 2019.  As of June 30, 2018, the Corporation had not used any of this authority and remained authorized to purchase up to $5.0 million of the Corporation’s common stock under the Repurchase Program.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following table presents the average balance sheets, the amounts of interest earned on earning assets, with related yields, and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, with related rates, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.  Loans include loans held for sale. Loans placed on a nonaccrual status are included in the balances and are included in the computation of yields, but had no material effect. Accretion and amortization of fair value purchase adjustments are included in the computation of yields on loans and investments and on the cost of borrowings acquired in connection with the purchase of CVBK. The CVBK accretion contributed approximately 17 basis points to the yield on loans and 12 basis points to both the yield on interest earning assets and the net interest margin for the second quarter of 2018, compared to approximately 13 basis points to the yield on loans and 10 basis points to both  the yield on interest earning assets and the net interest margin for the second quarter of 2017. The CVBK accretion contributed approximately 25 basis points to the yield on loans and 19 basis points to both the yield on interest earning assets and the net interest margin for the first six months of 2018, compared to approximately 16 basis points to the yield on loans and 13 basis points to both  the yield on interest earning assets and the net interest margin for the first six months of 2017. Interest on tax-exempt loans and securities is presented on a taxable-equivalent basis, which converts the income on loans and investments for which no income taxes are paid to the equivalent yield as if income taxes were paid using the federal corporate income tax rate of 21 percent that was applicable for the second quarter and first half of 2018 and 34 percent that was applicable for the second quarter and first half of 2017.

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 table shows the direct causes of the period-to-period changes in the components of net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis. The Corporation calculates the rate and volume variances using a formula prescribed by the SEC. Rate/volume variances, the third element in the calculation, are not shown separately in the table, but are allocated to the rate and volume variances in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of the change in each.

Net interest income, on a taxable-equivalent basis, for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $20.2 million, compared to $20.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. Net interest income, on a taxable-equivalent basis, for the first half of 2018 was $40.5 million, compared to $40.7 million for the first half of 2017. Annualized net interest margin decreased 37 basis points to 5.69 percent for the second quarter of 2018, relative to the same period in 2017, and decreased 31 basis points to 5.77 percent for the first half of 2018, relative to the same period in 2017. The net interest margin declines resulted from a 31 and 25 basis points decline in the yield on interest-earning assets coupled with a 10 and nine basis points increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities for the second quarter and first half of 2018, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2017.  The decline in yield on interest-earning assets for the second quarter and first half of 2018 was primarily attributable to decreases in the yields on the loan and investment securities portfolios. The decrease in the net interest margin was offset in part by average earning asset growth of $65.0 million and $65.8 million for the second quarter and first half of 2018, respectively, over the same periods of 2017.

41


Average loans, which includes both loans held for investment and loans held for sale, increased $37.6 million to $1.07 billion for the second quarter of 2018, compared to the same period in 2017. Average loans increased $35.8 million to $1.06 billion for the first half of 2018, compared to the same period in 2017. Average loans held for investment of the retail banking segment increased $36.3 million, or 5.2 percent, for the second quarter of 2018, compared to the same period in 2017, and increased $37.2 million, or 5.4 percent, for the first half of 2018, compared to the same period in 2017.  Average loans at the retail banking segment increased for both the second quarter and first half of 2018 because of growth in the commercial real estate and real estate construction segments of the loan portfolio, which was driven by the continued strong loan demand in the real estate development and construction sectors of our markets. Average loans held for investment at the consumer finance segment were essentially unchanged during the second quarter of 2018, compared to the same period in 2017,  and decreased $3.4 million, or 1.2 percent for the first half of 2018, compared to the same period of 2017, as a result of competition within the nonprime automobile finance industry.    Average loans held for sale increased  $1.2 million, or 3.0 percent for the second quarter of 2018, compared to the same period in 2017, and increased $1.9 million, or 5.4 percent for the first half of 2018, compared to the same period in 2017.

The overall yield on average loans decreased 31 basis points to 7.75 percent for the second quarter of 2018, compared to the same period of 2017, and decreased 20 basis points to 7.86 percent for the first half of 2018, compared to the same period of 2017. The decrease in the average loan yield was due to (1) the increased composition within the loan portfolio of lower-yielding loans at the retail banking segment relative to the higher-yielding non-prime loans at the consumer finance segment and (2) the decline in the average yield on loans at the consumer finance segment due primarily to continued competition in the non-prime automobile loan business.

Average securities available for sale increased $9.9 million and $10.7 million for the second quarter and first half of 2018, compared to the same periods in 2017. However, the average yield on the securities portfolio decreased 53 basis points and 57 basis points for the second quarter and first half of 2018, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2017, due to the decrease in the corporate income tax rate as a result of the Act, which reduced the tax equivalent yield on tax-exempt bonds, and continued purchasing in 2018 of securities with lower yields than the overall portfolio and shorter expected durations than the original durations of securities that have been called or have matured.

Average interest-bearing deposits in other banks, consisting primarily of excess cash reserves maintained at the Federal Reserve Bank, increased $17.5 million and $19.2 million during the second quarter and first half of 2018, compared to the same periods in 2017. The increase during the second quarter and first half of 2018 resulted from customer deposit growth exceeding loan and securities growth at the retail banking segment. The average yield on these overnight funds increased 72 basis points and 69 basis points for the second quarter and first half of 2018, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2017, because of the Federal Reserve Bank’s increases in the interest rate on excess cash reserve balances from 0.75 percent in December 2016 to 1.95 percent by the end of the second quarter of 2018.

Average interest-bearing time deposits increased $6.2 million and $8.1 million for the second quarter and first half of 2018,  respectively, and average savings and interest-bearing demand deposits increased $17.7 million and $17.4 million for the second quarter and first half of 2018, respectively, in each case compared to the second quarter and first half of 2017.  Although interest rates have risen since June 30, 2017, the increase in the average cost of interest-bearing deposits was only six basis points during the second quarter and first half of 2018 because growth in lower-cost non-term interest-bearing deposits exceeded growth in higher-cost time deposits and the repricing of deposit accounts lagged market interest rate increases.

Average borrowings increased $1.9 million and $2.0 million for the second quarter and first half of 2018, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2017. The increase resulted from fluctuations in repurchase agreements with commercial deposit customers. The average cost of borrowings increased 32 basis points and 29 basis points during the second quarter and first half of 2018, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2017, because of increases in short-term interest rates, to which variable-rate borrowing at the consumer finance segment is indexed.

The Corporation believes that it may be challenging to maintain net interest margin at its current level, even with the projected loan growth at the Bank during 2018, because of (i) the potential for further increases in short-term interest rates and repricing of time deposits at current market rates as they mature, which may drive increases in the cost of customer deposits, (ii) lower yields on consumer finance segment loans resulting from continued market competition and growth in

42


lower-yielding higher-quality loans (including boat and RV loans) and (iii) anticipated increases in short-term interest rates, which will trigger higher-costing variable-rate borrowings at the consumer finance segment.

Total noninterest income decreased $171,000, or 2.3 percent, in the second quarter of 2018, compared to the second quarter of 2017, and remained level in the first half of 2018 with the first half of 2017.  The decrease in noninterest income during the second quarter of 2018, as compared to the second quarter of 2017, was primarily due to (1) a decrease in gains on sales of loans at the mortgage banking segment as a result of lower mortgage loan volume and (2) decreased service charges on deposit accounts, which consists of overdraft and account maintenance fees, at the retail banking segment, partially offset by increases in (1) debit card interchange income at the retail banking segment, (2) other service charges and fees at the retail banking segment and (3) ancillary loan origination fees at the mortgage banking segment. While total noninterest income in the first half of 2018 was level with the first half of 2017, there were increases in (1) debit card interchange income at the retail banking segment, (2) wealth management services income at C&F Wealth Management and (3) gains on sales of loans at the mortgage banking segment. These increases were partially offset by decreased (1) ancillary loan origination fees at the mortgage banking segment and (2) service charges on deposit accounts at the retail banking segment.

Total noninterest expenses increased $358,000, or 1.9 percent, in the second quarter of 2018, and increased $929,000, or 2.6 percent in the first half of 2018, compared to the same periods in 2017. The increase in noninterest expenses resulted primarily from higher operating costs at the retail banking segment attributable to (1) increased personnel associated with the Bank's new retail branch in Charlottesville, Virginia and commercial lending programs, (2) higher data processing expenses associated with enhancing the technology infrastructure and expanding our digital product offerings, (3) increased compliance costs and (4) marketing expenses associated with promoting brand awareness.  Partially offsetting these factors were (1) decreased salaries and employee benefits expense at the mortgage banking segment resulting from operating efficiencies and managing personnel costs and (2) decreased salaries and employee benefits expenses at the consumer finance segment resulting from underwriting efficiencies and the purchase of loans with higher credit metrics.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the second quarter of 2018 was $1.4 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 21.6 percent, compared with $1.8 million, or an effective tax rate of 30.9 percent, for the second quarter of 2017.  Income tax expense for the first half of 2018 was $2.3 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 20.3 percent, compared with $2.8 million, or an effective tax rate of 28.7 percent, for the first half of 2017. The lower effective tax rate in the second quarter and first half of 2018 resulted from the reduction in the corporate income tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent beginning January 1, 2018, the benefit of which was offset in part by lower tax savings on tax-exempt investment securities income during the second quarter and first half of 2018 due to the lower income tax rate, coupled with a decline in the average balance of tax-exempt securities.

ASSET QUALITY

The allowance for loan losses represents an amount that, in our judgment, will be adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The provision for loan losses increases the allowance, and loans charged off, net of recoveries, reduce the allowance. Table 5 summarizes the allowance activity for the periods indicated:

Loans by credit quality indicators are presented in Table 7 below.  The characteristics of these loan ratings are as follows:

·

Pass rated loans are to persons or business entities with an acceptable financial condition, appropriate collateral margins, appropriate cash flow to service the existing loan, and an appropriate leverage ratio.  The borrower has paid all obligations as agreed and it is expected that this type of payment history will continue.  When necessary, acceptable personal guarantors support the loan.

·

Special mention loans have a specific, identified weakness in the borrower’s operations and in the borrower’s ability to generate positive cash flow on a sustained basis. The borrower’s recent payment history is characterized by late payments.  The Corporation’s risk exposure is mitigated by collateral supporting the loan.  The collateral is considered to be well-margined, well maintained, accessible and readily marketable.

·

Substandard loans are considered to have specific and well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the viability of the Corporation’s credit extension.  The payment history for the loan has been inconsistent and the expected or projected primary repayment source may be inadequate to service the loan.  The estimated net liquidation value of the collateral pledged and/or ability of the personal guarantor(s) to pay the loan may not adequately protect the Corporation.  There is a distinct possibility that the Corporation will sustain some loss if the deficiencies associated with the loan are not corrected in the near term. A substandard loan would not automatically meet the Corporation’s definition of impaired unless the loan is significantly past due and the borrower’s performance and financial condition provide evidence that it is probable that the Corporation will be unable to collect all amounts due.

·

Substandard nonaccrual loans have the same characteristics as substandard loans; however, they have a nonaccrual classification because it is probable that the Corporation will not be able to collect all amounts due.

47


·

Doubtful rated loans have all the weaknesses inherent in a loan that is classified substandard but with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. The possibility of loss is extremely high.

·

Loss rated loans are not considered collectible under normal circumstances and there is no realistic expectation for any future payment on the loan. Loss rated loans are fully charged off.

Nonperforming assets of the retail banking segment totaled $3.0 million at June 30, 2018, compared to $5.4 million at December 31, 2017.  Nonperforming assets at June 30, 2018 consisted primarily of $2.8 million in nonaccrual loans, compared to $5.3 million at December 31, 2017. The decline in nonaccrual loans during 2018 resulted primarily from a partial repayment of one commercial relationship.

The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans, excluding PCI loans, at June 30, 2018 was maintained at 1.48 percent, compared to December 31, 2017.  We believe that the current level of the allowance for loan losses at the retail banking segment is adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio, based on the relevant history of charge-offs and recoveries, current economic conditions, overall portfolio quality and review of specifically criticized loans. If loan concentrations within the retail banking segment’s loan portfolio result in higher credit risk or if economic conditions deteriorate in future periods, a higher level of nonperforming loans may be experienced, which may then require a higher provision for loan losses.

Nonaccrual loans at the consumer finance segment were $560,000 at June 30, 2018, compared to $764,000 at December 31, 2017.  Nonaccrual consumer finance loans remain low relative to the allowance for loan losses and the total consumer finance loan portfolio because the consumer finance segment generally initiates repossession of loan collateral once a loan becomes more than 60 days delinquent.  Repossessed vehicles of the consumer finance segment are classified as other assets and consist only of vehicles the Corporation has the legal right to sell.  Prior to the reclassification from loans to repossessed vehicles, the difference between the carrying amount of each loan and the fair value of each vehicle (i.e. the deficiency) is charged against the allowance for loan losses. At June 30, 2018, repossessed vehicles available for sale totaled $247,000, compared to $250,000 at December 31, 2017.

The consumer finance segment’s allowance for loan losses decreased $350,000 to $24.0 million at June 30, 2018 from $24.4 million at December 31, 2017, and its provision for loan losses decreased $2.0 million for the first half of 2018, compared to the same period in 2017. The decrease in the allowance and the lower provision resulted from lower charge-offs and an overall improvement in the credit quality of the portfolio in the first half of 2018.  Delinquent loans as a percentage of total loans decreased to 4.18 percent at June 30, 2018 from 5.17 percent at December 31, 2017. The annualized net charge-off ratio for the first half of 2018 decreased to 3.85 percent from 5.34 percent for the first half of 2017 because of the lower number of charge-offs during the first half of 2018. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans decreased to 8.11 percent at June 30, 2018, compared to 8.34 percent at December 31, 2017. Management expects the boat and RV loan contracts purchased by the consumer finance segment beginning in the first quarter of 2018, which are contracts for prime loans made to borrowers with very high credit quality, to require both a lower provision for loan losses and allowance for loan losses than the consumer finance segment’s non-prime automobile loans, contributing to a decrease in the overall level of the consumer finance segment’s allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans. At June 30, 2018, compared to December 31, 2017, the higher composition within the consumer finance segment’s loan portfolio of boat and RV loans accounted for 16 basis points of the 23 basis points decrease in this ratio. We believe that the current level of the allowance for loan losses at the consumer finance segment is adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio.

50


Impaired Loans

We measure impaired loans either based on fair value of the loan using the loan’s obtainable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent, or using the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate. We maintain a valuation allowance to the extent that the measure of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment. TDRs occur when we agree to significantly modify the original terms of a loan by granting a concession due to the deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower. These concessions typically are made for loss mitigation purposes and could include reductions in the interest rate, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions. TDRs are considered impaired loans.

While TDRs are considered impaired loans, not all TDRs are on nonaccrual status.  If a loan was on nonaccrual status at the time of the TDR modification, the loan will remain on nonaccrual status following the modification and may be returned to accrual status based on the Corporation’s policy for returning loans to accrual status. If a loan was accruing prior to being modified as a TDR and if management concludes that the borrower is able to make such modified payments, and there are no other factors or circumstances that would cause management to conclude otherwise, the TDR will remain on an accruing status.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

At June 30, 2018, the Corporation had total assets of $1.5 billion, which was an increase of $26.6 million since December 31, 2017. The increase resulted primarily from deposit growth that exceeded funding needs which resulted in  an increase in liquidity.

Investment Securities

The investment portfolio plays a primary role in the management of the Corporation’s interest rate sensitivity. In addition, the portfolio serves as a source of liquidity and is used as needed to meet collateral requirements. The investment portfolio consists of securities available for sale, which may be sold in response to changes in market interest rates, changes in prepayment risk, increases in loan demand, general liquidity needs and other similar factors. These securities are carried at estimated fair value. At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, all securities in the Corporation’s investment portfolio were classified as available for sale.

The following table sets forth the composition of the Corporation’s securities available for sale in dollar amounts at fair value and as a percentage of the Corporation’s total securities available for sale at the dates indicated.

Deposits

The Corporation’s predominant source of funds is depository accounts, which are comprised of demand deposits, savings and money market accounts and time deposits. The Corporation’s deposits are principally provided by individuals and businesses located within the communities served.

During the first half of 2018, deposits increased $22.0 million to $1.19 billion at June 30, 2018, compared to $1.17 billion at December 31, 2017. This increase resulted primarily from a $31.6 million increase in noninterest-bearing demand deposits and a $3.1 million increase in time deposits. Partially offsetting this increase was a $12.7 million decrease in savings and interest-bearing demand deposits resulting primarily from the cyclical decline in municipal deposits.

The Corporation had $2.7 million in brokered money market deposits outstanding at June 30, 2018. The source of these brokered deposits is uninvested cash balances held in third-party brokerage sweep accounts. The Corporation uses brokered deposits as a means of diversifying liquidity sources, as opposed to a long-term deposit gathering strategy.

Borrowings

Borrowings decreased to $166.1 million at June 30, 2018 from $167.9 million at December 31, 2017 as a result of fluctuations in repurchase arrangements with commercial deposit customers.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2018, there have been no material changes to the off-balance sheet arrangements disclosed in Part II, Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis," under the heading "Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements" in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Contractual Obligations

As of June 30, 2018, there have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of business to the contractual obligations disclosed in Part II, Item 7, “Management's Discussion and Analysis," under the heading “Table 20: Contractual Obligations” in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

53


The Corporation uses derivatives to manage exposure to interest rate risk through the use of interest rate swaps. Interest rate swaps involve the exchange of fixed and variable rate interest payments between two parties, based on a common notional principal amount and maturity date with no exchange of underlying principal amounts.

The Corporation has interest rate swaps that qualify as cash flow hedges. The Corporation’s cash flow hedges effectively modify the Corporation’s exposure to interest rate risk by converting variable rates of interest on $15.0 million and $10.0 million of the Corporation’s trust preferred capital notes to fixed rates of interest until December 2019 and September 2020, respectively. The cash flow hedges’ total notional amount is $25.0 million. At June 30, 2018, the cash flow hedges had a fair value of $417,000, which is recorded in other assets. The cash flow hedges were fully effective at June 30, 2018.  Therefore, the net gain on cash flow hedges was recognized  as a component of other comprehensive income, net of deferred income taxes.

Pursuant to a program the Corporation initiated during 2016, the Corporation also enters into interest rate swaps with certain qualifying commercial loan customers to meet their interest rate risk management needs.  The Corporation simultaneously enters into interest rate swaps with dealer counterparties, with identical notional amounts and terms.  The net result of these interest rate swaps is that the customer pays a fixed rate of interest and the Corporation receives a floating rate.  At June 30, 2018, the total notional amount of the interest rate swaps on loans was $92.6 million and the interest rate swaps had a net fair value of zero, with $2.3 million recognized in other assets and $2.3 million recognized in other liabilities.  These swaps are not designated as hedging instruments; therefore, changes in fair values are recorded in other noninterest expense.

Liquidity

The objective of the Corporation’s liquidity management is to ensure the continuous availability of funds to satisfy the credit needs of our customers and the demands of our depositors, creditors and investors. Stable core deposits and a strong capital position are the components of a solid foundation for the Corporation’s liquidity position. Additional sources of liquidity available to the Corporation include cash flows from operations, loan payments and payoffs, deposit growth, sales of securities, the issuance of brokered certificates of deposit and the capacity to borrow additional funds.

Liquid assets, which include cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits at other banks and nonpledged securities available for sale, totaled $253.14 million at June 30, 2018, compared to $219.1 million at December 31, 2017. The increase since December 31, 2017 is primarily the result of an increase in nonpledged securities and growth in deposits in excess of loan funding needs. The Corporation’s funding sources are presented in Table 13.

We have no reason to believe these arrangements will not be renewed at maturity.  Additional loans and securities are available that can be pledged as collateral for future borrowings from the Federal Reserve Bank or the FHLB above the current lendable collateral value. Our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity may be affected by numerous factors, including economic conditions nationally and in our markets. Depending on our liquidity levels, our capital position, conditions in the capital markets, our business operations and initiatives, and other factors, we may from time to time consider the issuance of debt, equity or other securities or other possible capital market transactions, the proceeds of which could provide additional liquidity for our operations.

As a result of the Corporation’s management of liquid assets and the ability to generate liquidity through liability funding, management believes that the Corporation maintains overall liquidity sufficient to satisfy its operational requirements and contractual obligations.

The regulatory risk-based capital amounts presented above include:  (1) common equity tier 1 capital (CET1) which consists principally of common stock (including surplus) and retained earnings with adjustments for goodwill, intangible assets and deferred tax assets; (2) Tier 1 capital which consists principally of CET1 plus the Corporation’s “grandfathered” trust preferred securities; and (3) Tier 2 capital which consists principally of Tier 1 capital plus a limited amount of the allowance for loan losses.  In addition, the Corporation has made the one-time irrevocable election to continue treating accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) under regulatory standards that were in place prior to the Basel III Final Rule in order to eliminate volatility of regulatory capital that can result from fluctuations in AOCI and the inclusion of AOCI in regulatory capital, as would otherwise be required under the Basel III Capital Rule.  For additional information

55


about the Basel III Final Rules, see “Item 1. Business” under the heading “Regulation and Supervision” and “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data,” under the heading “Note 15: Regulatory Requirements and Restrictions” in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

In addition to the regulatory risk-based capital amounts presented above, the Corporation and the Bank must maintain a capital conservation buffer of additional total capital and CET1 as required by the Basel III Final Rule.  The buffer began applying to the Corporation and the Bank on January 1, 2016, and is subject to phase-in from 2016 to 2019 in equal annual installments of 0.625%.  Accordingly, at June 30, 2018, the Corporation and the Bank were required to maintain a capital conservation buffer of 1.875%.  At June 30, 2018, the Corporation exceeded the total capital conservation buffer by 510 basis points, and the Bank exceeded the total capital conservation buffer by 498 basis points.  Also at June 30, 2018, the Corporation and the Bank exceeded the CET1 capital conservation buffer by 522 basis points and 721 basis points, respectively.

The Corporation's capital resources may be affected by the Corporation's Repurchase Program, which was reauthorized by the Corporation's Board of Directors during the second quarter of 2018. Under this program the Corporation is authorized to purchase up to $5.0 million of  its common stock. Repurchases under the program may be made through privately-negotiated transactions or open-market transactions, and shares repurchased will be returned to the status of authorized and unissued shares of common stock. The timing, number and purchase price of shares repurchased under the program will be determined by management and the Board of Directors in their discretion and will depend on a number of factors, including the market price of the shares, general market and economic conditions, applicable legal requirements and other conditions. The Repurchase Program is authorized through May 31, 2019. As of June 30, 2018, $5.0 million of the Corporation's common stock may be purchased under the Corporation's Repurchase Program.

Effects of Inflation and Changing Prices

The Corporation's financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which presently requires the Corporation to measure financial position and operating results primarily in terms of historic dollars. Changes in the relative value of money due to inflation or recession are generally not considered. The primary effect of inflation on the operations of the Corporation is reflected in increased operating costs. In management's opinion, changes in interest rates affect the financial condition of a financial institution to a far greater degree than changes in the inflation rate. While interest rates are greatly influenced by changes in the inflation rate, they do not necessarily change at the same rate or in the same magnitude as the inflation rate. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors that are beyond the control of the Corporation, including changes in the expected rate of inflation, the influence of general and local economic conditions and the monetary and fiscal policies of the United States government, its agencies and various other governmental regulatory authorities.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no significant changes from the quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk made in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Corporation’s management, including the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2018 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Corporation in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Corporation’s management, including the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that the Corporation’s disclosure

56


controls and procedures will detect or uncover every situation involving the failure of persons within the Corporation or its subsidiary to disclose material information required to be set forth in the Corporation’s periodic reports.

Management of the Corporation is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). There were no changes in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting during the Corporation’s second quarter ended June 30, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

As previously described, the Corporation has a Repurchase Program that is authorized through May 2019. As of June 30, 2018, $5.0 million of the Corporation’s common stock, which is the total amount authorized, may be purchased under the Repurchase Program.
