Board and Committee Meeting Attendance

There were twelve meetings of the Company’s Board of Directors in 2007. Each incumbent director attended greater than 75% of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board of Directors and meetings of committees of which the director was a member in 2007.

Committees of the Board

The Company has an Audit Committee and a Compensation Committee. The Company does not have a standing nominating committee.

Audit Committee

The Company’s Audit Committee assists the Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibility to the shareholders relating to the integrity of the Company’s financial statements, the Company’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and the qualifications, independence and the performance of the internal audit function. The Audit Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the work of the independent registered public accounting firm engaged for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or performing other audit, review or attestation services for the Company. The Board of Directors has adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee. A copy of the charter was attached to our 2007 proxy statement.

The members of the Audit Committee are Messrs. Esleeck, Chandler and Toalson,all of whom the Board of Directors, in its business judgment, has determined are independent as defined by the NASDAQ Stock Market’s (“NASDAQ”) listing standards. The Board of Directors also has determined that all of the members of the Audit Committee have sufficient knowledge in financial and auditing matters to serve on the Audit Committee and that Mr. Esleeck qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined by SEC regulations.

The Audit Committee met three times in 2007. For additional information regarding the Audit Committee, see “Audit Information – Audit Committee Report” later in this report.

Compensation Committee

The Company’s Compensation Committee assists the Board of Directors in fulfilling their responsibility to the shareholders to ensure that the Company’s officers, key executives, and board members are compensated in accordance with the Company’s total compensation objectives and executive compensation policy. The Compensation Committee advises and recommends for approval

compensation policies, strategies, and pay levels necessary to support organizational objectives. The Board of Directors has adopted a written charter for the Compensation Committee. A copy of the charter was attached to our 2007 proxy statement.

The members of the Compensation Committee are Messrs. Avery, Chandler, Balzer, Bell and Whittemore,all of whom the Board in its business judgment has determined are independent as defined by NASDAQ’s listing standards.

The Compensation Committee’s primary objective is to provide competitive levels of compensation to attract, retain and reward outstanding executive officers. In a highly competitive community banking marketplace, excellent leadership is essential. Our executive officers are expected to manage the business of the Company in a manner that promotes its growth and profitability for the benefit of our shareholders. To that end, we believe that:

•

Our key executives should have compensation opportunities at levels that are competitive with peer institutions.

•

Total compensation should include significant “at risk” components that are linked to annual and longer term performance results.

•

Stock-based compensation should form a key component of total compensation as a means of linking senior management to the long term performance of the Company and aligning their interests with those of shareholders.

The Compensation Committee’s compensation philosophy with respect to its executive officers is one of pay for performance. Accordingly, an executive officer’s annual compensation consists of a base salary, an annual monetary bonus and stock-based compensation. The annual monetary bonus is utilized to reward our executives for achieving short-term financial and productivity goals, and stock-based compensation is utilized for achieving long-term financial and productivity goals.

The Compensation Committee met four times in 2007.

Director Nomination Process

The independent members of the Board of Directors perform the functions of a nominating committee. The Board of Directors does not believe it needs a separate nominating committee because the independent directors (as that term is defined in the NASDAQ listing standards) have the time and resources to perform the function of recommending nominees to the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has adopted a resolution that provides that it will not nominate any person who has not been recommended for nomination by a majority of the independent directors.

In identifying potential nominees, the Board of Directors takes into account such factors as it deems appropriate, including the current composition of the Board of Directors, the range of talents, experiences and skills that would best complement those that are already represented on the Board of Directors, the balance of management and independent directors and the need for specialized expertise. The Board of Directors considers candidates for Board membership suggested by its members and by management, and the Board of Directors will also consider candidates suggested informally by a shareholder of the Company.

In the consideration of director nominees, including any nominee that a shareholder may submit, the Board of Directors considers, at a minimum, the following factors for new directors, or the continued service of existing directors:

•	The ability of the prospective nominee to represent the interests of the shareholders of the Company;
•	The prospective nominee’s standards of integrity, commitment and independence of thought and judgment;
•	The prospective nominee’s ability to dedicate sufficient time, energy and attention to the diligent performance of his or her duties, including the prospective nominee’s service on other public company boards;
•	The extent to which the prospective nominee contributes to the range of talent, skill and expertise appropriate for the Board of Directors; and
•	The prospective nominee’s involvement within the communities the Company serves.

Shareholders entitled to vote for the election of directors may recommend candidates for the independent directors to consider formally in connection with an annual meeting as long as the recommendation is made on or before the last date on which a shareholder may nominate an individual for election to the Board of Directors under the Company’s Bylaws.

Under the process used by the Company for selecting new board candidates, the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Board of Directors identify the need to add a new board member with specific qualifications or to fill a vacancy on the board. The Chairman of the Board of Directors will initiate a search, working with staff support and seeking input from board members and senior management, hiring a search firm, if necessary, and considering any candidates recommended by shareholders. An initial slate of candidates that will satisfy criteria and otherwise qualify for membership on the board may be presented to the Board of Directors. A determination is made as to whether board members have relationships with preferred candidates and can initiate contacts. The President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman of the Board of Directors interview prospective candidates. The Board of Directors meets to conduct further interviews of prospective candidates, if necessary or appropriate, and to consider and recommend final candidates for approval.

Director Compensation

Each member of the Board of Directors receives no fees for their service as Directors of the Company.

All of the directors of the Company serve as directors of the Bank. As compensation for his service to the Bank, each member of the Board of Directors receives fees as follows:

•	a retainer fee of $100 for each meeting of the Board ($150 for the Chairman of the Board),
•	an attendance fee of $200 for each meeting of the Board that he attends ($300 for the Chairman of the Board), and
•	an attendance fee of $100 for each meeting of a committee that he attends ($150 for the chairman of the committee).

Board members who are also officers do not receive any additional compensation above their regular salary for Board service or attending committee meetings.

During the year, all directors of the Company also served on the Board of Village Bank Mortgage Corporation and received $100 per meeting for attending such meetings.

In 2005, the Company adopted the Outside Directors Deferral Plan under which non-employee directors of the Bank have the opportunity to defer receipt of all or a portion of their compensation until retirement or departure from the Board of Directors. Any amounts deferred under this plan are maintained in an account for the benefit of the director and are credited annually with interest on the deferred amount at a rate established by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion prior to the beginning of each plan year.

The following table provides information concerning the compensation of all non-employee directors for the year ended December 31, 2007:

Messrs. Winfree and Whitehurst have employment agreements with the Company. Additional information on these employment agreements is described later in this report. Information on the components of executive compensation is set forth below.

Salary. A competitive salary for senior management is essential. Furthermore, flexibility to adapt to the particular skills of an individual or the specific needs of the Company is required. Proposed salary adjustments for senior management are presented to the Compensation Committee by Mr. Winfree, typically during the second quarter. The Compensation Committee reviews the recommendations, makes any further adjustments and generally approves the recommendations with input from the Compensation Committee’s external compensation advisor. Recommendations regarding adjustments to Mr. Winfree’s salary are reviewed and, if appropriate, approved by the Compensation Committee in executive session. Salaries for senior management in 2006 were generally deemed to be below the median of the Company’s peer group. At the recommendation of the Compensation Committee’s external compensation advisor, the Compensation Committee approved the proposed salary adjustments and will consider future increases to annual base salaries to bring senior base pay in line with targeted compensation levels and mix as defined in the Company’s executive compensation philosophy, which is described earlier in this report.

Stock-Based Compensation. Prior to 2007, the Compensation Committee awarded stock options to employees under the 2000 Incentive Plan, as amended and restated. These awards of stock options were at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors and were utilized to attract new employees as well as to reward existing employees for performance. Starting in 2007, the Compensation Committee replaced the use of stock options with time-vested and performance-vested restricted stock awards as it believes restricted stock is a

more competitive form of compensation to retain and attract new employees.

The Compensation Committee has implemented a restricted stock award strategy that generally favors a mix (50% / 50%) of time-vested and performance-vested restricted stock awards, each of which vests over three-year periods. Time-vested stock awards will vest on each of three anniversary dates in 25%, 25% and 50% increments. Performance-vested stock awards will vest at the end of a three year performance period if the Company achieves targeted measures of return on equity and return on assets. Performance-share vesting can range from 0%, when all are forfeited, to 100%, when all are earned. The Compensation Committee has not implemented a leverage arrangement where the performance-vested shares can be leveraged beyond the original performance stock award. As with all components of pay, the Compensation Committee will consider future increases to each executive’s targeted annual long term grant value to bring total direct compensation levels in line with established compensation levels and mix as defined in the Company’s executive compensation philosophy.

In granting restricted stock awards in 2007, the Compensation Committee asked its external compensation advisor to propose a 2007 restricted stock award for senior management. The Compensation Committee’s advisor recommended restricted stock awards for each executive based on the Company’s executive compensation philosophy statement described elsewhere in this report. In reviewing the compensation advisor’s recommendation for the 2007 restricted stock awards, the Compensation Committee also took into consideration historical stock option grant practices and the conversion from stock option grants to more competitive awards of time-vested and performance-vested restricted stock.

Information on the restricted stock awards in 2007 is provided in the following table:

(1) Time-vested stock awards will vest on each of three anniversary dates in 25%, 25% and 50% increments.
(2) Performance-vested stock awards will vest at the end of a three year performance period if the Company achieves
targeted measures of return on equity and return on assets. Performance-share vesting can range from 0%, when all
are forfeited, to 100%, when all are earned.

Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation. We offer senior management an opportunity to receive an annual target non-equity incentive bonus of 15 to 20 percent of their year-end base salary, depending on the executive’s responsibilities. To determine an executive officer’s non-equity incentive, the Compensation Committee adopted the 2006 Management Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, an executive officer can earn a bonus by achieving short-term financial and productivity goals established by the Compensation Committee. These goals are customized for each executive before the beginning of the Plan year to reflect a mix of corporate and individual initiatives and reflect a minimum, target and maximum amount of incentive. For example, Mr. Winfree’s targeted incentive awards under the Plan are weighted between corporate (70%) and individual (30%) goals. For others in senior management, the mix of corporate and individual weights is generally 60% / 40% or 50% / 50%, respectively, depending on the organizational responsibility of each executive. At a meeting of the Compensation Committee, usually in December, the Compensation Committee’s external compensation advisor recommends award targets and the award leverage schedule (minimum to maximum awards and their relationship to performance intervals), for the upcoming year.

For 2007, Mr. Winfree presented performance results for corporate and individual measures and corresponding proposed incentive amounts that were calculated in accordance with the award leverage schedule in the Plan. The Compensation Committee reviewed the performance of the Company and each

executive’s performance against the Plan. At the request of the Compensation Committee, the external compensation advisor validated the award calculations prior to the Compensation Committee’s approval of the Plan award amounts. In general, the target award opportunities under the Plan were below comparative practices of our peer group. As with all components of pay, the Compensation Committee will consider future increases to each executive’s annual target incentive opportunity to bring total cash compensation in line with targeted compensation levels and mix as defined in the Company’s executive compensation philosophy. All executive officers declined any amounts due them under the Plan for 2007.

Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plans. We believe that non-qualified deferred compensation plays an important role in retaining key executives, as well as helping them provide for retirement. The Compensation Committee retained an independent consultant to analyze the total retirement benefits provided by the Company and Social Security to employees with various levels of compensation and years of service so that the Compensation Committee could determine the projected replacement ratio of income at retirement compared with active employment. Because of limits under our qualified retirement plan on the amount of deferrals that our executives can make, several of our executives can expect to have a lower retirement replacement ratio than we have targeted for all employees. Consequently, as a matter of “pension equity”, we have adopted a supplemental plan which should provide a benefit for designated executives that will help approach the targeted retirement replacement ratio.

For that reason, we provide a benefit for senior management, including each of the named executive officers. The Company provides a potential supplemental retirement plan benefit of $50,000 annually for 15 years to Mr. Winfree and a potential benefit of $25,000 annually for 15 years to Messrs. Whitehurst, Sanders, Robeson and Falk. Under the plan’s vesting schedule, Mr. Winfree has completed four years of a six year vesting schedule. Messrs. Whitehurst, Sanders, and Robeson have completed three years of a ten year vesting schedule. Mr. Falk has completed one year of a ten year vesting schedule. In the event of a pre-retirement death, vesting is accelerated and the executive’s named beneficiary receives the benefit over the 15 year payout schedule. In the event of a post-retirement death, the executive’s named beneficiary receives any remaining benefit payments of the 15 year payout schedule. In the event of a termination of employment resulting from a change in control of the Company, vesting is accelerated and the benefit is paid under the 15 year payout schedule.

Employment and Change-in-Control Agreements

Securing the continued service of key executives is essential to the successful future of the Company. Employment agreements and management continuity agreements (which help retain key executives during a possible change of control situation) assist the Company by providing security to key executives.

The Company has entered into employment agreements with Messrs. Winfree and Whitehurst. Mr. Winfree’s employment agreement was entered into May 1, 2001 with an initial term of three years. Under the agreement, Mr. Winfree agrees to perform the services and duties appropriate to his capacity as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, responsible for all day-to-day operations. Annually, the Board of Directors reviews Mr. Winfree’s performance for the immediately preceding year and, after such review, may extend the employment agreement for an additional twelve months. Mr. Winfree’s current employment agreement covers the period from May 1, 2006 to April 30, 2009.

Mr. Whitehurst’s employment agreement was entered into September 9, 2003 with a term of one year. Under the agreement, Mr. Whitehurst agrees to perform the services and duties appropriate to his capacity as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company. Annually, the Board of Directors reviews Mr. Whitehurst’s performance for the immediately preceding year and, after such review, may extend the employment agreement for twelve months by an appropriate written instrument executed by Mr. Whitehurst and on behalf of the Company. If the employment agreement is not extended in writing before the end of its term or expressly terminated, it shall automatically renew for an additional term of twelve months. Mr. Whitehurst’s current employment agreement covers the period from September 1, 2007 to August 31, 2008.

Under the terms of both agreements, Messrs. Winfree and Whitehurst are entitled to severance payments equal to his respective salary for the balance of the term if he is terminated without “Cause” or if he terminates with “Good Reason”, each as defined in the respective agreement. In addition, for a period of six months, he will continue to receive benefits under all other employee benefit plans or programs in which he was participating prior to termination or, if continued participation is not possible, an equivalent value. At December 31, 2007, the value of Mr. Winfree’s and Mr. Whitehurst’s severance payments following termination without Cause or with Good Reason is $253,300 and $81,300, respectively.

The agreements also provide for termination benefits following a change in control of the Company. If Mr. Winfree’s employment is terminated for any reason other than for Cause during the term of the employment agreement and any renewal term following a change of control of the Company, he will be entitled to a severance payment in an amount equal to 2.99 times his salary and bonus received during the twelve months ending with the termination of the executive’s employment to be paid in equal monthly installments over the thirty-

six months succeeding the date of termination. If Mr. Whitehurst’s employment is terminated for any reason other than for Cause during the term of the employment agreement and any renewal term following a change of control of the Company, he will be entitled to a severance payment in an amount equal to 1.50 times his salary and bonus received during the twelve months ending with the termination of the executive’s employment to be paid in equal monthly installments over the eighteen months succeeding the date of termination. Additionally, for a period of 2.99 and 1.50 years, respectively, following termination or until such time that the executive has secured full time employment with another employer, Messrs. Winfree and Whitehurst are entitled to continued participation in all group, life, health, accident and disability insurance programs and other employee benefit plans that the executive was eligible to participate in prior to his date of termination. Had Mr. Winfree’s employment terminated on December 31, 2007 following a change of control of the Company, he would be entitled to approximately $523,250 (2.99 times his 2007 base salary and bonus, given that his agreement restricts payments that would constitute an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code) payable in equal monthly installments over 36 months. Had Mr. Whitehurst’s employment terminated on December 31, 2006 following a change of control of the Company, he would be entitled to approximately $172,500 (1.50 times his base salary and 2007 bonus) payable in equal monthly installments over 18 months.

Additionally, Messrs. Sanders, Robeson and Falk have entered into change of control agreements that provide for termination benefits following a change in control of the Company. Messrs. Sanders’, Robeson’s and Falk’s agreements state that, if within one year after a change in control of the Company, the executive resigns after a reduction in salary or the Company terminates the executive without Cause, the executive will receive one year’s salary, payable in monthly installments over twelve months or in a single lump sum. Accordingly, Messrs. Sanders’, Robeson’s and Falk’s termination benefit following a change in control of the Company and a termination under the above circumstances is $130,000, $120,000, $125,000, respectively, as of December 31, 2006.

Officers and directors are required by regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) reports that they file. Based solely on review of the copies of such reports furnished to the Company and the Bank or written representation that no other reports were required, the Company believes that, during fiscal year 2007, our directors and executive officers complied with all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements, except that R. T. Avery, III, a Director, inadvertently filed a late report on Form 4 covering the purchases of common stock in August and September 2007; Donald J.

ITEM 12 – CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Transactions with Management

Some of the directors and officers of the Company are customers of the Company, and the Company has had banking transactions in the ordinary course of its business with directors, officers, and their associates, on substantially the same terms, including interest rates, collateral and repayment terms on loans, as those prevailing at the same time for comparable transactions with others. All outstanding loans to such officers and directors and their associates are current as to principal and interest. None of such outstanding loans are classified as non-accrual, past due, restructured or potential problems. As of December 31, 2007, all loans to directors, executive officers and their affiliates totaled approximately $5,435,000 or approximately 20% of stockholders’ equity at such date.

There are no legal proceedings to which any director, officer or associate is a party that would be material and adverse to the Company.

Independence of the Directors

The Board of Directors has determined that the following 8 individuals of its 9 current members are independent as defined by the listing standards of NASDAQ: R. T. Avery, III, Donald J. Balzer, Jr., Craig D. Bell, William B. Chandler, R. Calvert Esleeck, Jr., Dean T. Patrick, Michael L. Toalson and George R. Whittemore. In reaching this conclusion, the Board of Directors considered that the Company and its subsidiaries conduct business with companies of which certain members of the Board of Directors or members of their immediate families are or were directors or officers.

The Board of Directors considered the following relationships between the Company and two of its directors to determine whether such director was independent under NASDAQ’s listing standards:

•	Donald J. Balzer, Jr. is Chairman of the Board of Balzer & Associates, Inc., an architectural, engineering, surveying and landscape architectural firm. Balzer & Associates is acting as the civil engineer on the construction of a new headquarters building for the Company. The Company estimates that it will pay Balzer & Associates approximately $140,000 to provide civil engineering and landscape design services on this project, of which approximately $97,000 has been paid through April 30, 2008.

•	Craig D. Bell is a partner with the law firm of McGuire Woods LLP. McGuire Woods LLP represented the Company in its merger negotiations with River City Bank, which is described in Note 19 to the Company’s audited financial statements included elsewhere herein. Through April 30, 2008 the Company has paid McGuire Woods LLP approximately $90,000 in legal fees related thereto.

There were no other relationships between the Company and its directors.
