Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

September 30, 2006

NOTE 1. General

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005. The results of operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 (the “2005 Form 10-K”).

The Company owns 100% of Bank of Clarke County (the “Bank”) and Eagle Financial Statutory Trust I (the “Trust”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions between the Company and the Bank have been eliminated. The Trust is accounted for under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 46R. The subordinated debt of the Trust is reflected as a liability of the Company. Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to current year presentations.

On February 15, 2006, the Board of Directors declared a two-for-one stock split of the Company’s common stock, payable on March 15, 2006 to shareholders of record on March 1, 2006. All share and per share amounts in this Form 10-Q have been adjusted to reflect the effects of the stock split as required by generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTE 2. Stock-Based Compensation Plan

Stock options granted prior to 2006 under the Company’s stock-based compensation plan were accounted for under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations.” No stock-based compensation expense associated with the stock options was reflected in net income, as each stock option granted under the plan had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. On December 30, 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the acceleration of vesting of all unvested stock options outstanding, effective immediately. Except for the accelerated vesting, all other terms of the affected stock options remained unchanged. There were neither unvested stock options outstanding at December 31, 2005 nor stock options granted during 2006 that must be accounted under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R (“SFAS No. 123R”). The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of the FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” to the outstanding stock options.

NOTE 3. Earnings Per Common Share

Basic earnings per share represents income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance. The number of potential common shares is determined using the treasury method and relates to outstanding stock options and unvested restricted stock grants.

The following table shows the weighted average number of shares used in computing earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 and the effect on the weighted average number of shares of dilutive potential common stock. Potential dilutive common stock had no effect on income available to common shareholders.

The Company evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment on at least a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to the length of time and the amount of an unrealized loss, the financial condition of the issuer, and the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer long enough to allow for an anticipated recovery in fair value. At September 30, 2006, the gross unrealized losses totaling $863,000 included seventy-two debt securities. At December 31, 2005, the gross unrealized losses totaling $989,000 included seventy-one debt securities. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, the Company considers whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and industry analysts’ reports. Since the Company has the ability to hold debt securities until maturity, no unrealized losses are deemed to be other-than-temporary.

NOTE 8. Pension and Postretirement Benefit Plans

The Company has a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan that covers eligible employees. During its October 2006 meeting, the Board adopted a resolution that the pension plan be amended so that no further benefits will accrue under the plan and no individuals may become participants after December 31, 2006.

The Company provides certain health care and life insurance benefits for six retired employees who have met certain eligibility requirements. All other employees retiring after reaching age 65 and having at least 15 years of service with the Company will be allowed to stay on the Company’s group life and health insurance policies, but will be required to pay premiums. The Company’s share of the estimated costs that will be paid after retirement is generally being accrued by charges to expense over the employees’ active service periods to the dates they are fully eligible for benefits, except that the Company’s unfunded cost that existed at January 1, 1993 is being accrued primarily in a straight-line manner that will result in its full accrual by December 31, 2013.

The following tables provide the components of net periodic benefit cost of the pension plan and postretirement benefit plan for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005:

The Company has made total contributions of $500,000 during the first nine months of 2006. Due to the resolution adopted by the Board during October, the Company will not make any additional contributions to the pension plan during 2006.

NOTE 9. Trust Preferred Capital Notes

On May 23, 2002, Eagle Financial Statutory Trust I (the Trust), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, was formed for the purpose of issuing redeemable capital securities. On June 26, 2002, $7,000,000 of trust preferred securities were issued through a pooled underwriting totaling approximately $554 million. The Trust issued $217,000 in common equity to the Company. The securities have a LIBOR-indexed floating rate of interest. The interest rate at September 30, 2006 was 8.82%. The securities have a mandatory redemption date of June 26, 2032, and are subject to varying call provisions beginning June 26, 2007. The principal asset of the Trust is $7,217,000 of the Company’s junior subordinated debt securities with the same maturity and interest rate structures as the capital securities.

The trust preferred securities may be included in Tier 1 capital for regulatory capital adequacy purposes as long as their amount does not exceed 25% of Tier 1 capital, including total trust preferred securities. The portion of the trust preferred securities not considered as Tier 1 capital, if any, may be included in Tier 2 capital. The total amount ($7,000,000) of trust preferred securities issued by the Trust can be included in the Company’s Tier 1 capital.

The obligations of the Company with respect to the issuance of the capital securities constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by the Company of the Trust’s obligations with respect to the capital securities.

Subject to certain exceptions and limitations, the Company may elect from time to time to defer interest payments on the junior subordinated debt securities, which would result in a deferral of distribution payments on the related capital securities.

NOTE 10. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) released Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 expresses the SEC staff’s views regarding the process of quantifying financial statement misstatements. These interpretations were issued to address diversity in practice and the potential under current practice for the build up of improper amounts on the balance sheet. SAB 108 expresses the SEC staff’s view that a registrant’s materiality evaluation of an identified unadjusted error should quantify the effects of the error on each financial statement and related financial statement disclosures and that prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements. SAB 108 also states that correcting prior year financial statements for immaterial errors would not require previously filed reports to be amended. Such correction may be made the next time the registrant files the prior year financial statements. Registrants electing not to restate prior periods should reflect the effects of initially applying the guidance in SAB 108 in their annual financial statements covering the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006. The cumulative effect of the initial application should be reported in the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of that fiscal year and the offsetting adjustment should be made to the opening balance of retained earnings for that year. Registrants should disclose the nature and amount of each individual error being corrected in the cumulative adjustment. The disclosure should also include when and how each error arose and the fact that the errors had previously been considered immaterial. The SEC staff encourages early application of the guidance in SAB 108 for interim periods of the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006. The Company does not expect the application of SAB 108 to have a material impact on its financial statements.

In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement No. 155 (“SFAS No. 155”), “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments – an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140”. SFAS No. 155 permits fair value measurement of any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation. The Statement also clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of Statement No. 133. It establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation. SFAS No. 155 also clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives. Finally, SFAS No. 155 amends Statement No. 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 155 at the beginning of 2007 to have a material effect on its financial statements.

In March 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 156 (“SFAS No. 156”), “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets - an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140.” SFAS No. 156 amends Statement No. 140 with respect to separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 156 requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract and requires all servicing assets and liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. SFAS No. 156 also permits entities to subsequently measure servicing assets and liabilities using an amortization method or fair value measurement method. Under the amortization method, servicing assets and liabilities are amortized in proportion to and over the estimated period of servicing. Under the fair value measurement method, servicing assets are measured at fair value at each reporting date and changes in fair value are reported in net income for the period the change occurs. Adoption of SFAS No. 156 is required as of the beginning of fiscal years beginning subsequent to September 15, 2006. Earlier adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year, provided the entity has not yet issued financial statements, including interim financial statements. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 156 at the beginning of 2007 to have a material effect on its financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157 (“SFAS No. 157”), “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements but may change current practice for some entities. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those years. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 157 to have a material effect on its financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 158 (“SFAS No. 158”), “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans – an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R).” SFAS No. 158 requires an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. The funded status of a benefit plan will be measured as the difference between plan assets at fair value and the benefit obligation. For a pension plan, the benefit obligation is the projected benefit obligation. For any other postretirement plan, the benefit obligation is the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation. SFAS No. 158 also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position. SFAS No. 158 also requires additional disclosure in the notes to financial statements about certain effects on net periodic benefit cost for the next fiscal year that arise from delayed recognition of the gains or losses, prior service costs or credits, and transition asset or obligation. The Company is required to initially recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. The requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the employers’ fiscal year-end statement of financial position is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. Based on the Board’s action, as discussed in Note 8, and preliminary projections, SFAS No. 158 will not have a material effect on the Company’s year-end statement of financial position.

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes: An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109. The Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement principles for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company does not expect the implementation of FIN 48 to have a material effect on its financial statements.

The purpose of this discussion is to focus on the important factors affecting the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and capital resources. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements presented in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Form 10-Q and Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of the 2005 Form 10-K.

GENERAL

Eagle Financial Services, Inc. is a bank holding company which owns 100% of the stock of Bank of Clarke County (the “Bank”). Accordingly, the results of operations for the Company are dependent upon the operations of the Bank. The Bank conducts commercial banking business which consists of attracting deposits from the general public and investing those funds in commercial, consumer and real estate loans and corporate, municipal and U.S. government agency securities. The Bank’s deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to the extent permitted by law. At September 30, 2006, the Company had total assets of $491,026,000, net loans of $372,142,000, total deposits of $377,693,000 and shareholders’ equity of $39,965,000. The Company’s net income was $4,492,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.

MANAGEMENT’S STRATEGY

The Company strives to be an outstanding financial institution in its market by building solid sustainable relationships with: (1) its customers, by providing highly personalized customer service, a network of conveniently placed branches and ATMs, a competitive variety of products/services and courteous, professional employees, (2) its employees, by providing generous benefits, a positive work environment, advancement opportunities and incentives to exceed expectations, (3) its communities, by participating in local concerns, providing monetary support, supporting employee volunteerism and providing employment opportunities, and (4) its shareholders, by providing sound profits and returns, sustainable growth, regular dividends and committing to our local, independent status.

OPERATING STRATEGY

The Bank is a locally managed financial institution, which allows it to be flexible and responsive in the products and services it offers. The Bank grows primarily by lending funds to local residents and businesses at a competitive price that reflects the inherent risk of lending. The Bank attempts to fund these loans through deposits gathered from local residents and businesses. The Bank prices its deposits by comparing alternative sources of funds and selecting the lowest cost available. When deposits are not adequate to fund asset growth, the Bank relies on borrowings, both short and long term. The Bank’s primary source of borrowed funds is the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta which offers numerous terms and rate structures to the Bank.

As interest rates change, the Bank attempts to maintain its net interest margin. This is accomplished by changing the price, terms, and mix of its financial assets and liabilities. The Bank also earns fees on services provided through its trust department, sales of investments through Eagle Investment Services, which is a division of the Bank, mortgage originations and deposit operations. The Bank also incurs noninterest expenses such as compensating employees, maintaining and acquiring fixed assets, and purchasing goods and services necessary to support its daily operations.

The Bank has a marketing department which seeks to develop new business. This is accomplished through an ongoing calling program whereby account officers visit with existing and potential customers to discuss the products and services offered. The Bank also utilizes traditional advertising such as television commercials, radio ads, newspaper ads, and billboards.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The financial information contained within these statements is, to a significant extent, based on measurements of the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred. A variety of factors could affect the ultimate value that is obtained when earning income, recognizing an expense, recovering an asset or relieving a liability. The Company uses historical loss factors as one element in determining the inherent loss that may be present in the loan portfolio. Actual losses could differ significantly from the historical factors that are used. In addition, GAAP itself may change from one previously acceptable method to another method. Although the economics of the transactions would be the same, the timing of events that would impact the transactions could change.

The allowance for loan losses is an estimate of the losses that may be sustained in the Company’s loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is based on two accounting principles: (1) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, which requires that losses be accrued when their occurrence is probable and they can be estimated, and (2) SFAS No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, which requires that losses be accrued based on the differences between the loan balance and the value of its collateral, the present value of future cash flows, or the price established in the secondary market. The Company’s allowance for loan losses has three basic components: the formula allowance, the specific allowance and the unallocated allowance. Each of these components is determined based upon estimates that can and do change when actual events occur. The formula allowance uses historical experience factors to estimate future losses and, as a result, the estimated amount of losses can differ significantly from the actual amount of losses which would be incurred in the future. However, the potential for significant differences is mitigated by continuously updating the loss history of the Company. The specific allowance is based upon the evaluation of specific loans on which a loss may be realized. Factors such as past due history, ability to pay, and collateral value are used to identify those loans on which a loss may be realized. Each of these loans is then classified as to how much loss would be realized on its disposition. The sum of the losses on the individual loans becomes the Company’s specific allowance. This process is inherently subjective and actual losses may be greater than or less than the estimated specific allowance. The unallocated allowance captures losses that are attributable to various economic events which may affect a certain loan type within the loan portfolio or a certain industrial or geographic sector within the Company’s market. As the loans, which are affected by these events, are identified or losses are experienced on the loans which are affected by these events, they will be reflected within the specific or formula allowances. Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements presented in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of the 2005 Form 10-K, provides additional information related to the allowance for loan losses.

CREDIT POLICIES

The lending activities are performed and the credit policy issues are administered by the Bank. The principal risk associated with the Bank’s loan portfolio is the creditworthiness of its borrowers. In an effort to manage this risk, the Bank’s policy gives loan amount approval limits to individual loan officers based on their position and level of experience. Credit risk is increased or decreased, depending on the type of loan and prevailing economic conditions. In consideration of the different types of loans in the portfolio, the risk associated with real estate mortgage loans, commercial loans and consumer loans varies based on employment levels, consumer confidence, fluctuations in the value of real estate and other conditions that affect the ability of borrowers to repay debt.

The Company has written policies and procedures to help manage credit risk. The Company utilizes a loan review process that includes formulation of portfolio management strategy, guidelines for underwriting standards and risk assessment, procedures for ongoing identification and management of credit deterioration, and regular portfolio reviews to establish loss exposure and to ascertain compliance with the Bank’s policies.

The Bank uses a Directors Loan Committee and lending limits approved by the Directors Loan Committee to approve loan requests. The loan officers are categorized based on the amount of secured and unsecured lending authority they possess. The highest authority (Category I) is comprised of the Bank’s Chief Executive Officer, the Senior Loan Officer, and the Associate Senior Loan Officer. There are six additional categories (Categories II, III, IV, V, VI and VII) with different amounts of secured and unsecured authority. Two officers in Category I may combine their authority to approve a loan request of up to $1,600,000 secured or $800,000 unsecured. An officer in Category II, III, IV, V, or VI may combine his or her authority with one officer in a higher category to approve a loan request. Any loan request which exceeds the combined authority of the categories must be presented to the Directors Loan Committee. The Directors Loan Committee, which currently consists of four directors (three directors constitute a quorum, of whom any two may act), approves loan requests which exceed the combined authority of two loan officers as described above. The minimum amount which requires Director Loan Committee approval, which is derived by combining the authorities of a Category I and Category VI officer, is $825,000 secured and $405,000 unsecured. The Directors Loan Committee also reviews and approves changes to the Bank’s Loan Policy as presented by management.

The following sections discuss the major loan categories within the total loan portfolio:

One-to-Four-Family Residential Real Estate Lending

Residential lending activity may be generated by the Bank’s loan officer solicitations, referrals by real estate professionals, and existing or new bank customers. Loan applications are taken by a Bank loan officer. As part of the application process, information is gathered concerning income, employment and credit history of the applicant. The valuation of residential collateral is provided by independent fee appraisers who have been approved by the Bank’s Directors Loan Committee. In connection with residential real estate loans, the Bank requires title insurance, hazard insurance and, if applicable, flood insurance. In addition to traditional residential mortgage loans secured by a first or junior lien on the property, the Bank offers home equity lines of credit.

Commercial Real Estate Lending

Commercial real estate loans are secured by various types of commercial real estate in the Bank’s market area, including multi-family residential buildings, commercial buildings and offices, small shopping centers and churches. Commercial real estate loan originations are obtained through broker referrals, direct solicitation of developers and continued business from customers. In its underwriting of commercial real estate, the Bank’s loan to original appraised value ratio is generally 80% or less. Commercial real estate lending entails significant additional risk as compared with residential mortgage lending. Commercial real estate loans typically involve larger loan balances concentrated with single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. Additionally, the repayment of loans secured by income producing properties is typically dependent on the successful operation of a business or a real estate project and thus may be subject, to a greater extent, to adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy, in general. The Bank’s commercial real estate loan underwriting criteria require an examination of debt service coverage ratios, the borrower’s creditworthiness, prior credit history and reputation, and the Bank typically requires personal guarantees or endorsements of the borrowers’ principal owners.

Construction and Land Development Lending

The Bank makes local construction loans, primarily residential, and land acquisition and development loans. The construction loans are secured by residential houses under construction and the underlying land for which the loan was obtained. The average life of most construction loans is less than one year and the Bank offers both fixed and variable rate interest structures. The interest rate structure offered to customers depends on the total amount of these loans outstanding and the impact of the interest rate structure on the Bank’s overall interest rate risk. There are two characteristics of construction lending which impact its overall risk as compared to residential mortgage lending. First, there is more concentration risk due to the extension of a large loan balance through several lines of credit to a single developer or contractor. Second, there is more collateral risk due to the fact that loan funds are provided to the borrower based upon the estimated value of the collateral after completion. This could cause an inaccurate estimate of the amount needed to complete construction or an excessive loan-to-value ratio. To mitigate the risks associated with construction lending, the Bank generally limits loan amounts to 80% of the estimated appraised value of the finished home. The Bank also obtains a first lien on the property as security for its construction loans and typically requires personal guarantees from the borrower’s principal owners. Finally, the Bank performs inspections of the construction projects to ensure that the percentage of construction completed correlates with the amount of draws on the construction line of credit.

Commercial and Industrial Lending

Commercial business loans generally have more risk than residential mortgage loans, but have higher yields. To manage these risks, the Bank generally obtains appropriate collateral and personal guarantees from the borrower’s principal owners and monitors the financial condition of its business borrowers. Residential mortgage loans generally are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from employment and other income and are secured by real estate whose value tends to be readily ascertainable. In contrast, commercial business loans typically are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from cash flow from its business and are secured by business assets, such as commercial real estate, accounts receivable, equipment and inventory. As a result, the availability of funds for the repayment of commercial business loans is substantially dependent on the success of the business itself. Furthermore, the collateral for commercial business loans may depreciate over time and generally cannot be appraised with as much precision as residential real estate.

Consumer Lending

The Bank offers various secured and unsecured consumer loans, which include personal installment loans, personal lines of credit, automobile loans, and credit card loans. The Bank originates its consumer loans within its geographic market area and these loans are generally made to customers with whom the Bank has an existing relationship. Consumer loans generally entail greater risk than residential mortgage loans, particularly in the case of consumer loans which are unsecured or secured by rapidly depreciable assets such as automobiles. In such cases, any repossessed collateral on a defaulted consumer loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance as a result of the greater likelihood of damage, loss or depreciation. Consumer loan collections are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, and thus are more likely to be adversely affected by job loss, divorce, illness or personal bankruptcy. Furthermore, the application of various federal and state laws, including federal and state bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount which can be recovered on such loans.

The underwriting standards employed by the Bank for consumer loans include a determination of the applicant’s payment history on other debts and an assessment of ability to meet existing obligations and payments on the proposed loan. The stability of the applicant’s monthly income may be determined by verification of gross monthly income from primary employment, and from any verifiable secondary income. Although creditworthiness of the applicant is the primary consideration, the underwriting process also includes an analysis of the value of the security in relation to the proposed loan amount.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Income

Net income for the first nine months of 2006 was $4,492,000, an increase of $282,000 or 6.7% as compared to net income for the first nine months of 2005 of $4,210,000. Diluted earnings per share were $1.46 and $1.39 for the first nine months of 2006 and 2005, respectively. Basic earnings per share were $1.47 and $1.39 for the first nine months of 2006 and 2005, respectively. Net income for the third quarter of 2006 was $1,393,000, a decrease of $7,000 or 0.5% as compared to net income for the third quarter of 2005 of $1,400,000. Earnings per share, basic and diluted, were $0.45 and $0.46 for the third quarter of 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Return on average assets (ROA) measures how efficiently the Company uses its assets to produce net income. Some issues reflected within this efficiency include the Company’s asset mix, funding sources, pricing, fee generation, and cost control. The ROA of the Company, on an annualized basis, for the first nine months of 2006 and 2005 was 1.24% and 1.31%, respectively.

Return on average equity (ROE) measures the utilization of shareholders’ equity in generating net income. This measurement is affected by the same factors as ROA with consideration to how much of the Company’s assets are funded by shareholders. The ROE of the Company, on an annualized basis, for the first nine months of 2006 and 2005 was 15.88% and 16.82%, respectively.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income, the difference between total interest income and total interest expense, is the Company’s primary source of earnings. Net interest income was $13,216,000 and $12,494,000 for the first nine months of 2006 and 2005, respectively, which represents an increase of $722,000 or 5.8%. Net interest income was $4,312,000 and $4,246,000 for the third quarter of 2006 and 2005, respectively, which represents an increase of $66,000 or 1.6%. The amount of net interest income is derived from the volume of earning assets and the rates earned on those assets as compared to the cost of funds. Total interest income was $21,464,000 and $17,274,000 for the first nine months of 2006 and 2005, respectively, which represents an increase of $4,190,000 or 24.3%. Total interest income was $7,468,000 and $6,092,000 for the third quarter of 2006 and 2005, respectively, which represents an increase of $1,376,000 or 22.6%. Total interest expense was $8,248,000 and $4,780,000 for the first nine months of 2006 and 2005, respectively, which represents an increase of $3,468,000 or 72.6%. Total interest expense was $3,156,000 and $1,846,000 for the third quarter of 2006 and 2005, respectively, which represents an increase of $1,310,000 or 71.0%. The increase in total interest expense can be attributed to relying more heavily on certificates of deposits and short-term borrowings at current market rates. With regard to certificates of deposit, the Bank had to offer promotional rates to both new and existing customers in order to attract and retain deposits, which accelerated their impact on the increase in interest expense.

The net interest margin was 4.02% and 4.26% for the first nine months of 2006 and 2005, respectively. The decrease of 24 basis points in the net interest margin was due to a greater increase in the average rate on interest-bearing liabilities than the tax-equivalent yield on average earning assets. The net interest margin is calculated by dividing tax-equivalent net interest income by total average earnings assets. Tax-equivalent net interest income is calculated by adding the tax benefit on certain securities and loans, whose interest is tax-exempt, to total interest income then subtracting total interest expense. The tax rate used to calculate the tax benefit was 34% for 2006 and 2005. The following table reconciles tax-equivalent net interest income, which is not a measurement under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), to net interest income.

The tax-equivalent yield on earning assets increased 60 basis points from 5.84% to 6.44% for the first nine months of 2005 and 2006, respectively. The tax-equivalent yield on securities increased 19 basis points from 4.60% to 4.79% for the first nine months of 2005 and 2006, respectively. The tax-equivalent yield on loans increased 69 basis points from 6.15% to 6.84% for the first nine months of 2005 and 2006, respectively. This reflects the repricing of variable rate loans which are indexed to Prime. The average rate on interest bearing liabilities increased 103 basis points from 2.04% to 3.07% for the first nine months of 2005 and 2006, respectively. These changes were caused by the pricing and product mix of interest-bearing liabilities. In general, deposit pricing is done in response to monetary policy actions and yield curve changes. As discussed above, the Company currently relies more heavily on promotional certificates of deposit, whose rates are primarily based on the local competition for funds. Generally, the Company prefers to rely more heavily on non-maturity deposits, which include NOW, money market, and savings accounts; however, interest sensitive customers have exchanged accessibility for a higher yield over a fixed term.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses is based upon management’s estimate of the amount required to maintain an adequate allowance for loan losses as discussed within the Critical Accounting Policies section above. The provision for loan losses was $225,000 for the first nine months of 2006 as compared to $395,000 for the first nine months of 2005. The amount of provision for loan losses is affected by several factors including the growth rate of loans, net charge-offs, and the amount of potential losses within the loan portfolio. The $170,000 decrease in the amount of provision for loan losses during 2006 as compared to 2005 can be primarily attributed to a decrease in net charge-offs during the third quarter of 2006 as compared to 2005.

Noninterest Income

Total noninterest income for the first nine months of 2006 and 2005 was $4,034,000 and $3,867,000, respectively, which represents an increase of $167,000 or 4.3%. Total noninterest income for the third quarter of 2006 and 2005 was $1,397,000 and $1,371,000, respectively, which represents an increase of $26,000 or 1.9%. Management reviews the activities which generate noninterest income on an ongoing basis. The following paragraphs provide information about activities which are included within the respective Consolidated Statements of Income headings.

There were no sales or calls of securities which resulted in a gain or loss during the first nine months of 2006. The Company earned $11,000 on sales of securities during the first nine months of 2005. The sales during 2005 were comprised of mortgage-backed securities.

Trust department income increased $136,000 or 28.9% from $471,000 for the first nine months of 2005 to $607,000 for the nine months of 2006. Trust department income increased $84,000 or 70.6% from $119,000 for the third quarter of 2005 to $203,000 for the third quarter of 2006. The amount of trust department income is determined by the number of active accounts and total assets under management. Also, income can fluctuate due to the number of estates settled within any period.

Service charges on deposit accounts increased $58,000 or 3.9% from $1,496,000 to $1,554,000 for the first nine months of 2005 and 2006, respectively. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $53,000 or 10.2% from $521,000 to $574,000 for the third quarter of 2005 and 2006, respectively. The amount of service charges on deposit accounts is derived from the volume of demand and savings accounts generated through the Bank’s branch network and the Bank continues to see an increase in these account types. Management expects continued growth in the number of deposit accounts and, therefore, expects the amount of service charges on deposit accounts to increase proportionately during future periods.

Other service charges and fees increased $25,000 or 1.5% from $1,661,000 for the first nine months of 2005 to $1,686,000 for the first nine months of 2006. Other service charges and fees decreased $76,000 or 11.8% from $643,000 for the third quarter of 2005 to $567,000 for the third quarter of 2006. The increase for the first nine months of 2006, as compared to 2005, can be attributed to increases in commissions received from the sale of non-deposit investment products through Eagle Investment Services and fees generated from the Bank’s ATM/debit card programs. The amount of commissions received from the sale of non-deposit investment products increased $122,000 or 33.1% from $369,000 to $491,000 for the first nine months of 2005 and 2006, respectively. This increase was realized through both the development of new customers and providing additional products to existing customers. This amount is expected to increase during the remainder of 2006 due to ongoing business development and referral programs. The amount of fees generated from the Bank’s ATM/debit card programs increased $94,000 or 21.9% from $430,000 to $524,000 for the first nine months of 2005 and 2006, respectively. This increase was realized through higher transaction volumes on the cards outstanding. This amount is expected to increase slightly during the remainder of 2006 due to fees earned on the Bank’s commercial debit cards, which earn higher transaction fees and have less loss liability than consumer debits cards. These increases were offset by a $300,000 or 64.2% decrease in the amount of fees received from the origination of mortgage loans for the secondary market, which were $167,000 and $467,000 during the first nine months of 2006 and 2005, respectively. This decrease reflects a slowdown in mortgage refinancing and home sales within the local market.

Noninterest Expenses

Total noninterest expenses increased $719,000 or 7.3% from $9,924,000 to $10,643,000 for the first nine months of 2005 and 2006, respectively. Total noninterest expenses increased $243,000 or 7.1% from $3,449,000 to $3,692,000 for the third quarter of 2005 and 2006, respectively. The efficiency ratio of the Company was 59.95% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 59.32% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The efficiency ratio is calculated by dividing total noninterest expenses by the sum of tax-equivalent net interest income and total noninterest income, excluding securities gains and losses. A reconciliation of tax-equivalent net interest income, which is not a measurement under GAAP, to net interest income is presented within the Net Interest Income section above. It is management’s objective to maintain an efficiency ratio at or below 65.00% for the Company. The following paragraphs provide information about expenses which are included within the respective Consolidated Statements of Income headings.

Salaries and benefits increased $473,000 or 8.2% from $5,796,000 for the first nine months of 2005 to $6,269,000 for the first nine months of 2006. Salaries and benefits increased $194,000 or 9.7% from $2,002,000 for the third quarter of 2005 to $2,196,000 for the third quarter of 2006. These increases can be attributed to annual salary adjustments and the hiring of additional personnel to accommodate the continued growth of the Company.

Occupancy expenses increased $63,000 or 9.4% from $674,000 to $737,000 for the first nine months of 2005 and 2006, respectively. Occupancy expenses during the third quarter of 2005 and 2006 were $221,000 and $250,000, respectively.

Equipment expenses increased $75,000 or 15.9% from $471,000 to $546,000 for the first nine months of 2006 and 2005, respectively. Equipment expenses increased $28,000 or 17.4% from $161,000 to $189,000 for the third quarter of 2005 and 2006, respectively.

Advertising and marketing expenses increased $10,000 or 3.1% from $323,000 to $333,000 for the first nine months of 2005 and 2006, respectively. Advertising and marketing expenses decreased $1,000 or 0.9% from $115,000 to $114,000 for the third quarter of 2005 and 2006, respectively. This category contains numerous expense types such as advertising, public relations, business development and charitable contributions. The annual budgeted amount of advertising and marketing expenses is directly related to the Company’s growth in assets. The total amount of advertising and marketing expenses varies from quarter to quarter based on planned events and advertising campaigns. Expenses are allocated in a manner which focuses on effectively reaching the existing and potential customers within the market and contributing to the community.

Other operating expenses increased $64,000 or 2.9% from $2,175,000 to $2,239,000 for the first nine months of 2006 and 2005, respectively. Other operating expenses decreased $5,000 or 0.6% from $799,000 to $794,000 for the third quarter of 2005 and 2006, respectively. This category is primarily comprised of the cost for services required during normal operations of the Company. Expenses which are directly affected by the number of branch locations and volume of accounts at the Bank include postage, insurance, ATM network fees, and credit card processing fees. Other expenses within this category are auditing fees and computer software expenses.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense was $1,890,000 and $1,832,000 for the first nine months of 2006 and 2005, respectively. This increase in income tax expense can be attributed to increased taxable earnings at the federal statutory income tax rate of 34%. The amount of income tax expense for the first nine months of 2006 and 2005 correspond to an effective tax rate of 29.61% and 30.60%, respectively. The difference between the effective tax rate and statutory income tax rate can be primarily attributed to tax-exempt interest earned on certain securities and loans.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Securities

Total securities were $87,237,000 at September 30, 2006 as compared to $82,693,000 at December 31, 2005. This represents an increase of $4,544,000 or 5.5%. The Company had securities purchases totaling $13,442,000 during the first nine months of 2006. The Company had total maturities and principal repayments of $8,954,000 during the first nine months of 2006. The Company did not have any securities from a single issuer, other than U.S. government agencies, whose amount exceeded 10% of shareholders’ equity at September 30, 2006. Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements provides additional details about the Company’s securities portfolio at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005.

The Company had $27,197,000 and $25,526,000 in securities classified as held to maturity at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. The Company had $60,040,000 and $57,167,000 in securities classified as available for sale at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. The Company had an unrealized loss on available for sale securities of $772,000 and $863,000 at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.

Loan Portfolio

The Company’s primary use of funds is supporting lending activities from which it derives the greatest amount of interest income. Gross loans were $375,887,000 and $355,779,000 at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. This represents an increase of $20,108,000 or 5.7% for the first nine months of 2006. The Company’s loan growth was accomplished through competitive loan pricing, experienced loan officers, and continuous sales efforts. Based on the current loan pipeline, the Company expects loan growth to continue during the fourth quarter of 2006. The ratio of loans to deposits increased during the third quarter of 2006 from 95.34% at December 31, 2005 to 99.52% at September 30, 2006. The loan portfolio consists primarily of loans for owner-occupied single family dwellings, loans to acquire consumer products such as automobiles, and loans to small farms and businesses. Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements provides the composition of the loan portfolio at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005.

Loans secured by real estate were $317,262,000 or 84.4% and $297,017,000 or 83.5% of total loans at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. This represents an increase of $20,245,000 or 6.8% during the first nine months of 2006. These loans are well-secured and based on conservative appraisals in a stable market. Generally, the Company does not make real estate loans outside its primary market area. Consumer installment loans were $29,880,000 or 8.0% and $32,220,000 or 9.1% of total loans at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. This represents a decrease of $2,340,000 or 7.3% during the first nine months of 2006. This type of loan is primarily comprised of vehicle loans which have been difficult to increase due to manufacturer financing options and customers using alternative financing such as home equity lines of credit whose interest is tax-deductible. Commercial and industrial loans were $26,964,000 or 7.2% and $25,237,000 or 7.1% of total loans at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. This represents an increase of $1,727,000 or 6.8% for the first nine months of 2006.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The purpose of and the methods for measuring the allowance for loan losses are discussed in the Critical Accounting Policies section above. Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements shows the activity within the allowance for loan losses during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 and the year ended December 31, 2005. Charged-off loans were $206,000 and $224,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Recoveries were $144,000 and $166,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. This resulted in net charge-offs of $62,000 and $58,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans was 1.00% and 1.01% at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate based on the loan portfolio’s current risk characteristics.

Risk Elements and Nonperforming Assets

Nonperforming assets consist of nonaccrual loans, restructured loans, and other real estate owned (foreclosed properties). Total nonaccrual loans were $714,000 and $375,000 at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. The Company did not have any restructured loans or other real estate owned at September 30, 2006 or December 31, 2005. Total loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest were $199,000 or 0.05% and $294,000 or 0.08% of total loans at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.

The loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest that are secured and in the process of collection are not classified as nonaccrual. Any loan over 90 days past due without being in the process of collection or where the collection of its principal or interest is doubtful would be placed on nonaccrual status. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, accrued interest is reversed from income and future accruals are discontinued with interest income being recognized on a cash basis. Management evaluates the financial condition of these borrowers and the value of any collateral on these loans. The results of these evaluations are used to estimate the amount of losses which may be realized on the disposition of these nonaccrual loans. Management evaluates borrowers on an ongoing basis to identify those loans on which a loss may be realized. The methods for identifying these loans and establishing estimated losses for these loans are discussed in the Critical Accounting Policies section above. Once management determines that a loan requires a specific allowance, it becomes a potential problem loan. The amount of potential problem loans was $3,942,000 and $4,160,000 at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. This represents a decrease of $218,000 or 5.2% during the first nine months of 2006. At September 30, 2006, these loans were primarily well-secured and in the process of collection, and the allowance for loan losses includes $247,000 in specific allocations for these loans.

Deposits

Total deposits were $377,693,000 and $373,148,000 at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. This represents an increase of $4,545,000 or 1.2% during the first nine months of 2006. Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements provides the composition of total deposits at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005.

Noninterest-bearing demand deposits, which is comprised of checking accounts, decreased $6,532,000 or 7.1% from $90,862,000 at December 31, 2005 to $84,330,000 at September 30, 2006. Savings and interest-bearing demand deposits, which include NOW accounts, money market accounts and regular savings accounts, decreased $20,682,000 or 12.0% from $172,434,000 at December 31, 2005 to $151,752,000 at September 30, 2006. Time deposits increased $31,759,000 or 28.9% from $109,852,000 at December 31, 2005 to $141,611,000 at September 30, 2006. This is comprised of an increase in time deposits of $100,000 and more of $16,978,000 or 36.4% and an increase in time deposits of less than $100,000 of $14,781,000 or 23.4%. The changes within the categories, other than time deposits of $100,000 and more, reflect the depositors’ willingness to move funds from accessible money market and savings accounts to higher yielding certificates of deposit. The Bank offered promotions on certificates of deposit during the quarter to retain existing deposits and attract additional deposits within its market. The increase in time deposits of $100,000 and more was due to offering promotional rates and aggressively bidding on these deposits as an alternative to borrowing funds.

The Company attempts to fund asset growth with deposit accounts and focus upon core deposit growth as its primary source of funding. Core deposits consist of checking accounts, NOW accounts, money market accounts, regular savings accounts, and time deposits of less than $100,000. Core deposits totaled $314,060,000 or 83.2% and $326,493,000 or 87.5% of total deposits at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. Offering promotional rates and aggressively bidding on time deposits of $100,000 and more caused the 3.8% decrease in the core deposit percentage during 2006.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company continues to be a well capitalized financial institution. Total shareholders’ equity at September 30, 2006 was $39,965,000, reflecting a percentage of total assets of 8.13%, as compared to $35,995,000 and 7.71% at December 31, 2005. The common stock’s book value increased $1.16 or 9.9% to $12.94 per share at September 30, 2006 from $11.77 per share at December 31, 2005. During the third quarter of 2006, the Company paid a dividend of $0.15 per share as compared to $0.14 per share for the same period of 2005. Total dividends paid during the first three quarters of 2006 and 2005 were $0.44 and $0.36 per share, respectively. Total dividends paid during 2005 were $0.50 per share. The Company has a Dividend Investment Plan that permits the reinvestment of participating shareholders’ dividends in common stock.

Federal regulatory risk-based capital guidelines require percentages to be applied to various assets, including off-balance sheet assets, based on their perceived risk in order to calculate risk-weighted assets. Tier 1 capital consists of total shareholders’ equity plus qualifying trust preferred securities outstanding less net unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities, goodwill and other intangible assets. Total capital is comprised of Tier 1 capital plus the allowable portion of the allowance for loan losses and any excess trust preferred securities that do not qualify as Tier 1 capital. The $7,000,000 million in trust preferred securities, issued by the Company during 2002, qualifies as Tier 1 capital because this amount does not exceed 25% of total capital, including the trust preferred securities. Financial institutions must maintain a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at least 4%, a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 8% and a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4%. The Company’s policy requires a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at least 8%, a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10% and a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 5%. The Company’s Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 12.52% at September 30, 2006 as compared to 12.41% at December 31, 2005. The Company’s total risk-based capital ratio was 13.52% at September 30, 2006 as compared to 13.44% at December 31, 2005. The Company’s Tier 1 capital to average total assets ratio was 9.59% at September 30, 2006 as compared to 9.40% at December 31, 2005. The Company monitors these ratios on a quarterly basis and has several strategies, including without limitation the issuance of common stock or trust preferred securities, to ensure that these ratios remain above regulatory minimums.

LIQUIDITY

Liquidity management involves meeting the present and future financial obligations of the Company with the sale or maturity of assets or with the occurrence of additional liabilities. Liquidity needs are met with cash on hand, deposits in banks, federal funds sold, securities classified as available for sale and loans maturing within one year. At September 30, 2006, liquid assets totaled $153,500,000 as compared to $150,587,000 at December 31, 2005. These amounts represent 34.03% and 34.94% of total liabilities at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. The Company minimizes liquidity demand by utilizing core deposits to fund asset growth. Securities provide a constant source of liquidity through paydowns and maturities. Also, the Company maintains short-term borrowing arrangements, namely federal funds lines of credit, with larger financial institutions as an additional source of liquidity. Finally, the Bank’s membership with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta provides a source of borrowings with numerous rate and term structures. The Company’s senior management monitors the liquidity position regularly and attempts to maintain a position which utilizes available funds most efficiently. As a result of the Company’s management of liquid assets and the ability to generate liquidity through liability funding, management believes that the Company maintains overall liquidity sufficient to satisfy its depositors’ requirements and meet its customers’ credit needs.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
