VIRGINIA FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2004 AND DECEMBER 31, 2003
The debt securities are obligations of entities that are excellent credit risks. The impairment as noted is the result of market conditions and does not reflect on the ability of the issuers to repay the debt obligations. Also noted is that all the debt securities have continuous losses at quarter end less than 12 months.
The common stock category includes four issuers that have shown a loss for more than one year. All the stocks are within the technology sector and prices of the stocks have had a strong correlation with the significant drop in the overall level of the equity markets over the last several years. None of the issuers have entered into bankruptcy proceedings and the market for each of the stocks is active and liquid. The impairment does not represent a significant financial impact to the Company, and therefore the positions can be maintained indefinitely.
The preferred stock category has one issue that is showing a loss of less than 12 months. The issuer is the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac). The impairment is the result of interest rate market conditions. The fixed income nature of this investment causes significant movement in value in relation to the fixed income market. However, there is no change in the dividend stream as a result.

Advances on the line are secured by a blanket lien on the 1 to 4 family dwelling loan portfolios of the affiliate banks, which totaled $307.1 million at March 31, 2004.
The Company has a line of credit agreement with a correspondent bank for general working capital needs. The $15 million line is unsecured, calls for variable interest payments and is payable on demand.
Second Bank & Trust has an agreement with the Federal Reserve where it can borrow funds deposited by its customers. This agreement calls for variable interest and is payable on demand. U. S. Government securities and U. S. Treasury notes are pledged as collateral. The maximum amount available under this agreement is $1,000,000.
Securities sold under agreements to repurchase, which are classified as secured borrowings, generally mature within one to four days from the transaction date. Securities sold under agreement to repurchase are reflected at the amount of cash received in connection with the transaction.
The average balance of short-term borrowings outstanding did not exceed 30 percent of stockholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2004 or the year ended December 31, 2003.
| 7. | Long-term Debt: |
The Company has outstanding fixed-rate, long-term debt with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta of $14.1 million at March 31, 2004 that matures through 2010. At March 31, 2004, the interest rates on the fixed-rate, long-term advances ranged from 1.96% to 7.07%. One advance totaling $120 thousand at March 31, 2004 requires quarterly principal payments totaling $20 thousand plus interest. The remainder of the advances requires quarterly interest payments with principal due upon maturity. The average interest rate was 5.12% at March 31, 2004 with an average balance outstanding of $9.6 million.
The Company also completed the issuance of $20 million of floating rate trust preferred securities during the quarter ended March 31, 2004 in a privately negotiated transaction. The proceeds from the sale of the securities will be used for general corporate purposes which may include capital management for its affiliates, acquisitions, retirement of indebtedness, repurchase of the Company’s common stock and other investments. Under the terms of the Trust Preferred transaction, the securities will mature in 30 years and are redeemable, in whole or in part, without penalty, at the option of the Company after five years. The securities have a floating rate, which will be reset quarterly, with an initial rate of 3.84%.

VIRGINIA FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion provides information about the major components of the results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and capital resources of Virginia Financial Group, Inc. (the Company). This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and supplemental financial data.
In addition to historical information, statements contained in this report that are not historical facts may be construed as forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results, or those anticipated. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s analysis only as of the date thereof.
Critical Accounting Policies
General
The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). The financial information contained within our statements is, to a significant extent, financial information that is based on measures of the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred. A variety of factors could affect the ultimate value that is obtained either when earning income, recognizing an expense, recovering an asset or relieving a liability. We use historical loss factors as one factor in determining the inherent loss that may be present in our loan portfolio. Actual losses could differ significantly from the historical factors that we use. In addition, GAAP itself may change from one previously acceptable method to another method. Although the economics of our transactions would be the same, the timing of events that would impact our transactions could change.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.
The Company’s affiliate Banks conduct an analysis of the loan portfolio on a regular basis. This analysis is used in assessing the sufficiency of the allowance for loan losses and in the determination of the necessary provision for loan losses. The review process generally begins with lenders identifying problem loans to be reviewed on an individual basis for impairment. When a loan has been identified as impaired, then a specific reserve may be established based on the Banks calculation of the loss embedded in the individual loan. In addition to impairment testing, the Banks have a seven point grading system for each non-homogeneous loan in the portfolio. The loans meeting the criteria for impairment are segregated from performing loans within the portfolio. Loans are then grouped by loan type and, in the case of commercial loans, by risk rating. Each loan type is assigned an allowance factor based on historical loss experience, economic conditions, and overall portfolio quality including delinquency rates. The total of specific reserves required for impaired classified loans and the calculated reserves by loan category are then compared to the recorded allowance for loan losses. This is the methodology used to determine the sufficiency of the allowance for loan losses and the amount of the provision for loan losses. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

VIRGINIA FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis by 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.
Goodwill
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS 142”), effective January 1, 2002. Accordingly, goodwill is no longer subject to amortization over its estimated useful life, but is subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment by applying a fair value based test. Additionally, under SFAS 142, acquired intangible assets (such as core deposit intangibles) are separately recognized if the benefit of the asset can be sold, transferred, licensed, rented, or exchanged, and amortized over their useful life. Branch acquisition transactions were outside the scope of SFAS 142 and, accordingly, intangible assets related to such transactions continued to amortize upon the adoption of SFAS 142. The cost of purchased deposit relationships and other intangible assets, based on independent valuation, are being amortized over their estimated lives not to exceed fifteen years. Amortization expense charged to operations was $169 thousand and $39 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Results of Operations
Virginia Financial Group, Inc.’s consolidated net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 amounted to $3.5 million or $.48 per share, compared to earnings of $3.3 million or $.46 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2003. Net income increased 4.9% and diluted earnings per share increased 4.4% compared to first quarter 2003 results. The Company’s earnings for the first quarter produced a annualized return on average assets of .99% and return on average equity of 11.51%, compared to prior year ratios of 1.20% and 12.35%, respectively.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income increased $2.2 million or 21.5% to $12.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004. This improvement can be attributed to continuing loan growth and contributions from eight new branches purchased in the third quarter of 2003. The net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2004 was 4.09%, compared to 3.91% for the quarter ended December 31, 2003 and 4.27% for the quarter ended March 31, 2003.
The following table provides information on average earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 as well as amounts and rates of tax equivalent interest earned and interest paid. The tax equivalent adjustment, utilizing a federal statutory rate of 35%, amounted to $464 thousand and $589 thousand in 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2004 amounted to $10.4 million, an increase of $1.3 million or 14.0% compared $9.2 million for the same period in 2003. This increase is largely attributable to the Company’s expansion efforts, and the incremental costs associated with the eight purchased branches, loan production offices in Charlottesville and Lynchburg and a de novo branch in Fishersville, Virginia.
Asset Quality
Non-performing assets, including loans past due 90 days and still accruing interest, amounted to $6.8 million or .71% of loans and other property owned at March 31, 2004, compared to $7.3 million or .80% of loans and other property owned at December 31, 2003. The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $681 thousand for the three month period ended March 31, 2004, compared to a provision of $323 thousand for the three month period ended March 31, 2003, consistent with loan growth experienced during the period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Capital Adequacy
The management of capital in a regulated financial services industry must properly balance return on equity to stockholders while maintaining sufficient capital levels and related risk-based capital ratios to satisfy regulatory requirements. Additionally, capital management must also consider acquisition opportunities that may exist, and the resulting accounting treatment. The Company’s capital management strategies have been developed to provide attractive rates of returns to stockholders, while maintaining its “well-capitalized” position at each of the banking subsidiaries.
The primary source of additional capital to VFG is earnings retention, which represents net income less dividends declared. During the first quarter ended March 31, 2004, VFG retained $2.1 million, or 60.7% of its net income. Stockholders’ equity increased by $3.6 million, reflecting the earnings retention and an increase of $1.5 million in accumulated comprehensive income net of tax, which relates primarily to an increase in unrealized gains on securities available-for-sale during the period.
VFG and its banking subsidiaries are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on VFG and the subsidiary banks’ financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, VFG and its banking subsidiaries must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and reclassifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require VFG and its banking subsidiaries to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier 1 capital to average assets. Management believes, as of March 31, 2004 that VFG and the subsidiary banks met all minimum capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject and are categorized as “well capitalized.” There are no conditions or events since the notification that management believes have changed the subsidiary banks’ category.

Liquidity
Liquidity is identified as the ability to generate or acquire sufficient amounts of cash when needed and at a reasonable cost to accommodate withdrawals, payments of debt, and increased loan demand. These events may occur daily or other short-term intervals in the normal operation of the business. Experience helps management predict time cycles in the amount of cash required. In assessing liquidity, management gives consideration to relevant factors including stability of deposits, quality of assets, economy of market served, concentrations of business and industry, competition, and the Company’s overall financial condition. The Company’s primary source of liquidity is cash, securities in our available for sale portfolio and a $15 million line of credit with a correspondent bank. In addition, the Banks have substantial lines of credit from their correspondent banks and access to the Federal Reserve discount window and Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta to support liquidity as conditions dictate.
The liquidity of the parent company also represents an important aspect of liquidity management. The parent company’s cash outflows consist of overhead associated with corporate expenses, executive management, finance, marketing, human resources, audit and compliance and loan review functions. It also includes outflows associated with dividends to shareholders. The main sources of funding for the parent company are the management fees and dividends it receives from its banking and trust subsidiaries, a working line of credit with a correspondent bank, and availability of the trust preferred security market as deemed necessary. The Company’s capital base provides the resource and ability to support the assets of the Company and provide capital for future expansion.
VFG completed the issuance of $20 million of floating rate trust preferred securities during the first quarter in a privately negotiated transaction. The proceeds from the sale of the securities will be used for general corporate purposes which may include capital management for its affiliates, acquisitions, retirement of indebtedness, repurchase of the Company’s common stock and other investments. Under the terms of the Trust Preferred transaction, the securities will mature in 30 years and are redeemable, in whole or in part, without penalty, at the option of Virginia Financial Group, Inc. after five years. The securities have a floating rate, which will be reset quarterly, with an initial rate of 3.84%.
In the judgment of management, the Company maintains the ability to generate sufficient amounts of cash to cover normal requirements and any additional funds as needs may arise.
Effects of Inflation
The effect of changing prices on financial institutions is typically different from other industries as the Company’s assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. Interest rates and thus the Company’s asset liability management is impacted by changes in inflation, but there is not a direct correlation between the two measures. Management monitors the impact of inflation on the financial markets.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure,” which amends SFAS No. 123 to provide alternative methods of transition for an entity that voluntarily changes to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. The provisions of the Statement were effective December 31, 2002. Management currently intends to continue to account for stock-based compensation under the intrinsic value method set forth in Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion 25 and related interpretations. For this reason, the transition guidance of SFAS No. 148 does not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations. The Statement does amend existing guidance with respect to required disclosures, regardless of the method of accounting used. The revised disclosure requirements are presented herein.
In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others” (“FIN 45”). The Interpretation elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its financial statements under certain guarantees that it has issued. It also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The recognition requirements of the Interpretation were effective beginning January 1, 2003. The initial adoption of the Interpretation did not materially affect the Company, and management does not anticipate that the recognition requirements of this Interpretation will have a materially adverse impact on either the Company’s consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations in the future.
In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46”). This Interpretation provides guidance with respect to the identification of variable interest entities and when the assets, liabilities, noncontrolling interests, and results of operations of a variable interest entity need to be included in a company’s consolidated financial statements. The Interpretation requires consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities in cases where (a) the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, which is provided through other interests that will absorb some or all of the expected losses of the entity, or (b) in cases where the equity investors lack one or more of the essential characteristics of a controlling financial interest, which include the ability to make decisions about the entity’s activities through voting rights, the obligations to absorb the expected losses of the entity if they occur, or the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity if they occur. Management has evaluated the Company’s investments in variable interest entities and potential variable interest entities or transactions, particularly in limited liability partnerships involved in low-income housing development and trust preferred securities structures. The implementation of FIN 46 did not have a significant impact on either the Company’s consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations. Interpretive guidance relating to FIN 46 is continuing to evolve and the Company’s management will continue to assess various aspects of consolidations and variable interest entity accounting as additional guidance becomes available.
In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” The Statement amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” The Statement is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, with certain exceptions, and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003 and is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.” This Statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). Many of these instruments were previously classified as equity. This Statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, except for mandatory redeemable financial instruments of nonpublic entities. Adoption of the Statement did not result in an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In November 2003, the FASB’s Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached a consensus on a new disclosure requirement related to unrealized losses on investment securities. The new disclosure requires a table of securities which have unrealized losses as of the reporting date. The table must distinguish between those securities which have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for twelve months or more and those securities which have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than twelve months. The table is to include the aggregate unrealized losses of securities whose fair values are below book values as of the reporting date, and the aggregate fair value of securities whose fair values are below book values as of the reporting date. In addition to the quantitative disclosure, FASB requires a narrative discussion that provides sufficient information to allow financial statement users to understand the quantitative disclosures and the information that was considered in determining whether impairment was not other-than-temporary. The new disclosure requirements apply to fiscal years ending after December 15, 2003. The Company has included the required disclosures in their consolidated financial statements.
In December 2003, the FASB issued a revised version of SFAS No. 132, “Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88 and 106.” This Statement revises employers’ disclosures about pension plans and other postretirement benefits. It does not change the measurement or recognition of those plans required by FASB Statements No. 87, No. 88, and No. 106. This Statement retains the disclosure requirements contained in the original FASB Statement No. 132, which it replaces. However, it requires additional disclosures to those in the original Statement 132 about the assets, obligations, cash flows, and net periodic benefit costs of defined benefit pension plans and other defined benefit postretirement plans. The required information should be provided separately for pension plans and for other postretirement benefit plans. The disclosures for earlier annual periods presented for comparative purposes are required to be restated for (a) the percentages of each major category of plan assets held, (b) the accumulated benefit obligation, and (c) the assumptions used in the accounting for the plans. This Statement is effective for financial statements with fiscal years ending after December 15, 2003. The interim-period disclosures required by this Statement are effective for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2003. The Company has included the required disclosures in its consolidated financial statements.
