NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



|1. | Organization
|-- | ------------

StellarOne Corporation (the
Company or STEL) is a Virginia bank holding company headquartered in Charlottesville, Virginia. The Companys sole banking affiliate is StellarOne Bank headquartered in Christiansburg, Virginia. Additional affiliates of
the Company include VFG Limited Liability Trust and FNB (VA) Statutory Trust II both of which are associated with the Companys subordinated debt issues and are not subject to consolidation. The Company collapsed all of its previous affiliates
into StellarOne Bank on May 27, 2008. The previous affiliates included First National Bank (Christiansburg, Virginia), Second Bank & Trust (Fredericksburg, Virginia); Planters Bank & Trust Company of Virginia (Staunton,
Virginia) and its subsidiary, Planters Insurance Agency, Inc.; and Virginia Commonwealth Trust Company (Culpeper, Virginia). The consolidated statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant
intercompany accounts have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position as of September 30, 2008 and
December 31, 2007, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007. The statements should be read in conjunction with the
Notes to Financial Statements included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. The results of operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.



|2. | Merger of Equals
|-- | ----------------

On February 28, 2008, pursuant to
the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of July 26, 2007 (the Merger Agreement), by and between Virginia Financial Group, Inc. and FNB Corporation, each share of common stock of FNB Corporation outstanding
was converted into 1.5850 shares of the Companys common stock. Virginia Financial Group, Inc., as the surviving corporation, changed its name to StellarOne Corporation. The Company issued 11,746,272 shares or approximately $201 million of
its common stock to FNB Corporation shareholders, based on 7,412,576 shares of FNB Corporation common stock outstanding as of February 27, 2007 and the closing price of the Companys common stock on the same date.

The merger transaction was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and qualifies as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of
the Internal Revenue Code. The merger resulted in $60.6 million of goodwill and $8.6 million of core deposit intangibles. The goodwill acquired is not tax deductible. The core deposit intangible was based on an independent valuation and
will be amortized over the estimated life of the core deposits of 7.75 years, based on undiscounted cash flows. An unaudited summary of the preliminary estimated fair values of assets and liabilities of FNB Corporation as of February 27,
2008 is in the table below. The Company acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities as of that same date.

|7. | Stock-Based Compensation
|-- | ------------------------

FASB Statement No. 123 (R),
Share-Based Payment requires that compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. The cost is measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued.

SFAS 123 (R) also requires that new awards to employees eligible for retirement prior to the award becoming fully vested be recognized
as compensation cost over the period through the date that the employee first becomes eligible to retire and is no longer required to provide service to earn the award. The Company had no such awards granted during the three or nine month periods.

Included within compensation and employee benefits expense for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 is $1.6 million
and $349 thousand of stock-based compensation, respectively. An acceleration adjustment of $1.3 million related to the merger is included in expense for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008.

Stock option compensation expense is the estimated fair value of options granted amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for
each separately vesting portion of the award. Fair value was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: option term until exercise of approximately 4.50 to 5.5 years, volatility ranging from 24.3 to 25.8%,
risk-free interest rate of 2.14% to 2.68% and an expected dividend yield of 3.7% to 4.3%.

The aggregate intrinsic value of the options outstanding as of September 30, 2008 was $2.6
million. The aggregate intrinsic value represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the difference between the Companys closing stock price on the last trading day of the quarter ended September 30, 2008 and the exercise price,
multiplied by the number of options outstanding). The aggregate intrinsic value of the options currently exercisable as of September 30, 2008 was $2.3 million. The weighted average remaining contractual life is 4.7 years for exercisable options
at September 30, 2008.

|8. | Employee Benefit Plan
|-- | ---------------------

The Company has a noncontributory
pension plan which conforms to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). The amount of benefits payable under the plan is determined by an employees period of credited service. The amount of normal retirement benefit will be
determined based on a Pension Equity Credit formula. The employee receives credits based on their age and years of service. The plan provides for early retirement for participants with five years of service and the attainment of age 55. The benefits
are payable in single or joint/survivor annuities as well as a lump sum payment upon retirement or separation of service. The Company froze participation in this plan during 2003, and has approximately ninety-five participants remaining in the plan.

The components of net periodic benefit cost are as follows (In thousands):

|9. | Fair Value Option and Fair Value Measurements
|-- | ---------------------------------------------

In
September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The statement
establishes a fair value hierarchy about the assumptions used to measure fair value and clarifies assumptions about risk and the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FSP No. FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157. This FSP delays the effective date of FAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and
nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. FAS 157-2 has been
deferred and therefore has not been adopted. The impact of adopting FAS 157 involved adding additional disclosure information and had no direct effect on the Companys financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The standard
provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value and establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement
attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2008. The Company did not elect the fair value option for any financial assets or financial liabilities as of January 1,
2008.

Fair Value Measurement

Statement 157 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants on the measurement date. Statement 157 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not
Active. This FSP clarifies the application of FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, in a market that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of a
financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. This guidance was considered in determining the fair value of financial assets for STEL as of September 30, 2008.

Under SFAS No. 157, the Company groups assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities
are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. An adjustment to the pricing method used within either Level 1 or Level 2 inputs could generate a fair value measurement that effectively falls in a lower level in the
hierarchy. These levels are:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has
the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted
prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, and other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Valuations for assets and liabilities that are derived from other valuation methodologies, including option pricing models, discounted cash flow
models and similar techniques, and not based on market exchange, dealer, or broker traded transactions. Level 3 valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets or liabilities.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at
fair value. The determination of where an asset or liability falls in the hierarchy requires significant judgment. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter and based on various factors, it is possible that an asset or liability
may be classified differently from quarter to quarter. However, the Company expects changes in classifications between levels will be rare.

Securities: Investment securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using matrix pricing, which is
a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relaying on the securities relationship to other benchmark quoted securities.
Level 1 securities include those traded on nationally recognized securities exchanges, U.S. Treasury securities, and money market funds. Level 2 securities include U.S. Agency securities, mortgage-backed securities issued by government sponsored
entities, municipal bonds and corporate debt securities. Securities classified as Level 3 include asset-backed securities in less liquid markets.

Loans held for sale: The fair value of loans held for sale is determined, when possible, using quoted secondary-market prices. If no such quoted price exists, the fair value of a loan is determined using quoted prices for a similar asset or
assets, adjusted for the specific attributes of that loan. As such, the Company classifies loans subjected to nonrecurring fair value adjustments as Level 2.

Loans: The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, a loan is considered impaired and an allowance for loan losses is established. Loans for which it is probable
that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures impairment in accordance with
SFAS 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan. The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using one of several methods, including collateral value, market value of similar debt, enterprise value, liquidation value and
discounted cash flows. Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans. At September 30, 2008, substantially all of
the total impaired loans were evaluated based on the fair value of the collateral. In accordance with SFAS 157, impaired loans where an allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral require classification in the fair value
hierarchy. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines
the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 3.

Foreclosed assets: Foreclosed assets are adjusted to fair value upon transfer of the loans to foreclosed assets. Subsequently, foreclosed assets are
carried at net realizable value. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral or managements estimation of the value of the collateral. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable
market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the foreclosed asset as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised
value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the foreclosed asset as nonrecurring Level 3.

Deferred compensation
plans: Liabilities associated with deferred compensation plans are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis as Level 1 based on the fair value of the underlying securities. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices.

|10. | Subsequent Event
|--- | ----------------

On October 28, 2008 the
Companys Board of Directors approved certain changes to existing retirement plans by freezing the benefits associated with the defined benefit pension plan, terminating employee stock ownership plan and enhancing the

401(k) defined contribution savings plan effective January 1, 2009. The Company will freeze the pension plan at the current benefit levels as of
December 31, 2008, at which time the accrual of future benefits for eligible employees will cease. All retirement benefits earned in the pension plan as of December 31, 2008 will be preserved and all participants will be fully vested in
their benefit.

The Company will freeze the ESOP as of December 31, 2008, at which time the accrual of future
benefits for eligible employees will cease. All eligible participants are fully vested in the plan, and benefit amounts to be received will be determined at the time of settlement to occur in 2009. Both pension and ESOP participants will begin to
receive a 4% profit sharing contribution in addition to a 4% potential matching contribution to their 401(k) plan effective January 1, 2009.

The Company is still in process of reviewing the impact on its consolidated financial statements, and will record income of approximately $65 thousand in the fourth quarter of 2008 associated with the recognition of prior service cost,
curtailment gains and unrecognized actuarial losses associated with the pension plan. The Company expects the plan changes for both the ESOP and pension plans will result in retirement-related and administrative expenses savings of $300 thousand for
2009 for both the ESOP and pension plans.



|11. | Recent Accounting Pronouncements
|--- | --------------------------------

During 2007, the FASB
issued EITF 06-4, Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsed Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements EITF 06-4, which concludes an employer should recognize a liability for postemployment
benefits promised an employee based on the substantive arrangement between the employer and the employee. Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted EITF 06-4. Adoption of EITF 06-4 did not have a significant effect on the Companys
consolidated financial statements.

During 2007, the FASB issued EITF 06-10, Accounting for Collateral Assignment Split-Dollar Life
Insurance EITF 06-10, which stipulates an employer should recognize a liability for the postretirement benefit related to a collateral assignment split-dollar life insurance arrangement if, based on the substantive arrangement with the
employee, the employer has agreed to maintain life insurance during the employees retirement or provide the employee with a death benefit. Under EITF 06-10, the employer should also recognize an asset based on the substance of the arrangement
it has with the employee. Effective January 1, 2008, the Corporation adopted EITF 06-10. Adoption of EITF 06-10 did not have a significant effect on the Corporations consolidated financial statements.

In June 2007, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) issued EITF Issue No. 06-11, Accounting for Income Tax Benefits of Dividends on
Share-Based Payment Awards. The Issue states that a realized income tax benefit from dividends or dividend equivalents that are charged to retained earnings and are paid to employees for equity classified nonvested equity shares, nonvested
equity share units, and outstanding equity share options should be recognized as an increase to additional paid-in capital. The amount recognized in additional paid-in capital for the realized income tax benefit from dividends on those awards should
be included in the pool of excess tax benefits available to absorb tax deficiencies on share-based payment awards. This Issue is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The
Company has prospectively applied this Issue to applicable dividends declared on or after January 1, 2008. The adoption of EITF 06-11 did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

In February 2008, FASB issued FSP 140-3 Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities This FSP
addresses the accounting for a transfer of a financial asset and a repurchasing financing. The FSP presumes that an initial transfer of a financial asset and a repurchase financing are considered part of the same arrangement under Statement 140.
However, if certain criteria are met, the initial transfer and repurchase financing shall not be evaluated as a linked transaction and shall be evaluated separately under Statement 140. This FSP is effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years. Management does not expect the adoption of this FSP to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



In November 2007, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 109. SAB
No. 109 revises the view expressed in SAB No. 105 and states that the expected net future cash flows related to the associated servicing of a loan should be included in the measurement of all written loan commitments that are accounted for
at fair value through earnings. SAB No. 109 expands to all loan commitments, the view that internally-developed intangible assets, such as customer relationship intangible assets, should not be recorded as part of the fair value of a derivative
loan commitment. SAB No. 109 is effective on a prospective basis for loan servicing activities related to derivative loan commitments issued or modified in fiscal quarters beginning after December 15, 2007. The adoption did not have a
material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R,
Business Combinations, which revises SFAS No. 141 and changes multiple aspects of the accounting for business combinations. Under the guidance in SFAS No. 141R, the acquisition method must be used, which requires the acquirer
to recognize most identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interests in the acquiree at their full fair value on the acquisition date. Goodwill is to be recognized as the excess of the consideration transferred plus the
fair value of the noncontrolling interest over the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired. Subsequent changes in the fair value of contingent consideration classified as a liability are to be recognized in earnings, while contingent
consideration classified as equity is not to be remeasured. Costs such as transaction costs are to be excluded from acquisition accounting, generally leading to recognizing expense and additionally, restructuring costs that do not meet certain
criteria at acquisition date are to be subsequently recognized as post-acquisition costs. SFAS No. 141R is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period
beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company anticipates that the standard will lead to more volatility in the results of operations during the periods surrounding an acquisition.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements  an amendment of ARB
No. 51. SFAS No. 160 requires that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary (i.e. minority interest) be reported in the equity section of the balance sheet instead of being reported as a liability or in the mezzanine section between
debt and equity. It also requires that the consolidated income statement include consolidated net income attributable to both the parent and noncontrolling interest of a consolidated subsidiary. A disclosure must be made on the face of the
consolidated income statement of the net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest. Also, regardless of whether the parent purchases additional ownership interest, sells a portion of its ownership interest in a subsidiary
or the subsidiary participates in a transaction that changes the parents ownership interest, as long as the parent retains controlling interest, the transaction is considered an equity transaction. SFAS No. 160 is effective for annual
periods beginning after December 15, 2008. Management does not expect the adoption of this Statement to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

StellarOne Corporation is a bank holding company incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Currently, STEL is one of the largest
independent commercial bank holding companies headquartered in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The Companys sole banking affiliate is StellarOne Bank headquartered in Christiansburg, Virginia. Additional affiliates of the Company include VFG
Limited Liability Trust and FNB (VA) Statutory Trust II both of which are associated with the Companys subordinated debt issues and are not subject to consolidation. The Company collapsed all of its previous affiliates into StellarOne Bank on
May 27, 2008. The previous affiliates included First National Bank (Christiansburg, Virginia), Second Bank & Trust (Fredericksburg, Virginia); Planters Bank & Trust Company of Virginia (Staunton, Virginia) and its subsidiary,
Planters Insurance Agency, Inc.; and Virginia Commonwealth Trust Company (Culpeper, Virginia. The organization has a network of sixty-three full-service financial centers, one loan production office, and over eighty ATMs stretching from the New
River Valley, Roanoke Valley, Shenandoah Valley and Central and North Central Virginia.

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 inherent losses in our loan portfolio. Actual losses could differ significantly from the historical factors that we use.

Investment Securities

Debt securities that management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held
to maturity and recorded at amortized cost. Securities not classified as held to maturity, including equity securities with readily determinable fair values, are classified as available for sale and recorded at fair value, with
unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income. The initial classification of securities is determined at the date of purchase.

Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the terms of the securities. Declines in the fair value of held to maturity and available for sale securities below
their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has
been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated
increase in fair value. Gains and losses on the sale of securities are recorded on the trade date and are determined using the specific identification method.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have been incurred, but not realized 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 banking subsidiary
conducts 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, a specific reserve may be established based on managements calculation of the loss embedded in the
individual loan. In addition to impairment testing, the banking subsidiary has a ten point grading system for each non-homogeneous loan in the portfolio. Loans meeting the criteria for impairment are segregated for analysis from performing loans
within the portfolio. Loans are then grouped by loan type and, in the case of commercial and construction loans, by risk rating. Each loan type is assigned an allowance factor based on historical loss experience, economic conditions, overall
portfolio quality including delinquency rates and commercial real estate loan concentrations. The total of specific reserves required for impaired classified loans and the calculated reserves by loan category are then used to compute an estimated
range of losses which is 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.

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 for commercial and
construction loans 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.
Larger groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment.

Goodwill

The
Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142). 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 $1.1 million and $485 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Income Taxes

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or
liability is determined based on the tax effects of the temporary differences between the book and tax bases of the various balance sheet assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws. Deferred taxes are
reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has a stock-based employee compensation plan under which nonqualified stock
options may be granted periodically to certain employees. The Companys stock options typically have an exercise price equal to at least the fair value of the stock on the date of grant, and vest based on continued service with the Company for
a specified period, generally five years. The Company has adopted SFAS 123 (R), which requires that compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. The cost is measured based on the fair value of
the equity or liability instruments issued.

FASB Statement No. 123 (R), Share-Based Payment SFAS 123 (R) also requires that new
awards to employees eligible for retirement prior to the award becoming fully vested be recognized as compensation cost over the period through the date that the employee first becomes eligible to retire and is no longer required to provide service
to earn the award.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This report refers to the efficiency ratio, which is computed by dividing non-interest expense by the sum of net interest income on a tax equivalent basis and non-interest income excluding gains or losses on
securities, fixed assets and foreclosed assets. The same ratio is also calculated using operating earnings which excludes the after-tax effects of merger-related, integration, other-than-temporary impairments and nonrecurring litigation costs. This
is a non-GAAP financial measure that we believe provides investors with important information regarding our operational efficiency. Such information is not in accordance with GAAP and should not be construed as such. Management believes such
financial information is meaningful to the reader in understanding operating performance, but cautions that such information not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP. STEL, in referring to its net income, is referring to income under GAAP.

Results of Operations

STELs earnings for the third quarter
of 2008 were $2.0 million, or $.09 per diluted share, compared to $4.3 million or $.40 per diluted share, earned during the third quarter of 2007. These results reflect decreases of 53.5% and 77.5%, respectively, compared to the same quarter last
year. Operating earnings which excludes the after-tax effects of merger-related, integration, other-than-temporary impairments and nonrecurring litigation costs for the third quarter of 2008 totaled $2.5 million, or $.11 per diluted share

For the first nine months of 2008, net income was $10.3 million compared to $12.9 million earned in the first nine months of 2007, a decrease of 20.2%.
Diluted earnings per share for the first nine months of 2008 amounted to $.51 per share compared to $1.19 per share during the same period in 2007. Operating earnings for the first nine months of 2008, excluding the after-tax effects of
merger-related, integration, other-than-temporary impairments and nonrecurring litigation costs, amounted to $12.5 million or $.62 per diluted share, compared to $12.9 million or $1.19 per diluted share for the same period in 2007.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income, on a tax-equivalent basis and excluding the effects of purchase accounting amortization, amounted to $25.2 million for the third quarter of 2008, essentially flat with the $25.3 million for the second quarter of 2008
and up when compared to $14.9 million for the same quarter in 2007. The core net interest margin, adjusted to exclude the effect of purchasing accounting amortization of $2.3 million, was 3.72% for the third quarter, up compared to 3.69% for the
second quarter of 2008 and down 35 basis points compared to 4.07% for the same quarter in 2007. Including the effects of purchase accounting adjustments, the net interest margin was 4.06% for the quarter, compared to 4.37% for the second quarter of
2008 and 4.07% for the third quarter of 2007. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis was $75.4 million, an increase of $30.1 million or 66.5% from $45.3 million for the same period in 2007.
The net interest margin for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 was 4.11%, or unchanged when compared to the same period in 2007. The amortization of the purchase adjustments of $6.2 million affected the margin for the nine month
period to a lesser degree than the quarter, but still helped to offset compression related to the decline in the targeted Federal funds rate and increases in nonperforming assets when compared to September 30, 2007.

Core margin is expected to experience modest compression during the fourth quarter as the rate of improvement in the cost of funds slows, loan yields are negatively
impacted by the short-term rate reductions, loan and deposit growth slow due to market conditions, and the positive effects of amortizing the purchase adjustments lessen.

Asset yields decreased sequentially, with an average yield on assets of 6.45% for the third quarter of 2008, compared to 6.51% for the second quarter of 2008 and decreased forty-eight basis points when compared to
6.93% for the third quarter of 2007. Average cost of interest bearing liabilities increased to 2.75% for the third quarter of 2008, as compared to 2.53% for the second quarter of 2008 and 3.46% for the third quarter of 2007. This reduced funding
costs during the second and third quarters were predominantly the result of reductions in interest expense of $2.7 million and $758 thousand recognized during the first nine months of 2008, which related to the amortization of premiums on CDs
and FHLB advances, respectively, that were adjusted to market value as part of the merger. Additionally, funding costs were also reduced due to recent actions taken by the Fed during 2008 and an increased level of CD maturities repricing during the
period.

Noninterest Income

On an operating basis, which excludes gains and losses from sale of assets (foreclosed assets, fixed assets and securities) total non-interest income amounted to $7.1 million, a decrease of $615 thousand or 8.0% from $7.7 million for second
quarter of 2008 and up $3.0 million compared to $4.2 million for the same quarter in the prior year. Retail banking fee income amounted to $4.1 million, an increase of $190 thousand or 4.9% compared to $3.9 million for the second quarter of 2008 and
up $2.1 million compared to $2.0 million for the same quarter in 2007. Mortgage banking revenue amounted to $607 thousand, a decrease of $750 thousand or greater than 100%, as compared to $1.4 million for the second quarter of 2008 and up $6
thousand when compared to $601 thousand for the same quarter in 2007. Revenues from trust and brokerage for the third quarter of 2008 were $1.3 million, down $89 thousand or 6.4% compared to $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2008 on lower market
valuations for assets under management. Revenues from trust and brokerage were up slightly from $1.0 million when compared to the same quarter in 2007. Fluctuations for the nine month periods mirror the analysis of the quarterly amounts above.

Additionally, StellarOne recorded a loss of $1.7 million included in losses on sale of foreclosed assets during the third quarter of 2008 in connection
with the auction of certain assets that had been reclassified as held for sale in conjunction with the merger of Virginia Financial Group, Inc. and FNB Corporation. Proceeds from this auction amounted to $3.8 million, and approximately $1 million in
property was taken back at auction and included in foreclosed assets and non-performing assets at quarter end. StellarOne recorded an other than temporary impairment charge of $274 thousand recorded in the third quarter associated with a small
ownership in stock of Fannie Mae. This charge is included in losses on sale of securities.

Noninterest Expense

Non-interest expense for the third quarter of 2008 amounted to $23.2 million, a decrease of $1.5 million compared to $24.6 million for the second quarter of 2008 and an
increase of $10.8 million compared to $12.4 million for the same quarter in the prior year. Normalizing the non-interest expense for non-recurring merger integration, other-than-temporary impairment and litigation costs of $670 thousand, and
adjusting for the acceleration of deposit insurance premiums during the third quarter of $593 thousand associated with the exhausting of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance assessment credits, non-interest expenses decreased $2.7
million or 11% as compared to the second quarter of 2008. StellarOnes efficiency ratio was 66.63% for the third quarter of 2008, compared to 65.26% for the second quarter of 2008 and 64.71% for the same quarter in the prior year. Excluding the
effects of nonrecurring items per above, the efficiency ratio was 65.15% for the third quarter compared to 67.29% for second quarter of 2008 and 66.06% for the same quarter in the prior year. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2008,
the efficiency ratio was 69.60%, compared to 65.04% for the same period in 2007. Excluding the impact of expense items noted above, the efficiency ratio was 67.48% compared to 65.04% for the same nine month period in 2007. Noninterest expense for
the nine month period was affected in the same manner as the quarter by the related increases in incremental costs and nonrecurring expenses. A settlement that is mutually satisfactory to both parties has been reached regarding the lawsuit
generating the nonrecurring legal expenses and no further legal expenses regarding this matter are anticipated during the fourth quarter.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the third quarter of 2008 was $714 thousand resulting in an effective tax rate of 26.0% compared to $1.7 million, or 28.6%, for
the third quarter of 2007. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2008, income tax expense amounted to $4.7 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 31.5% compared to $5.3 million, or 29.1% for the same period in 2007. The decrease
in the effective tax rate for the third quarter is a result of the permanent differences representing a much larger percentage of pretax income compared to prior periods due to the decreased income recognized during the quarter. The increase in the
effective tax rate for the nine month period is a result of adjustments made to the treatment of non-deductible nature of merger and purchase accounting adjustments and earnings from tax-exempt securities decreasing as a percentage of total income
which was somewhat offset by tax free income generated by the purchase of bank owned life insurance increasing as a percentage of total income.

Asset Quality

StellarOnes ratio of non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets increased to 1.62% as of September 30, 2008, compared to .47% at September 30, 2007 and .86% at June 30, 2008. This increase is a result of
declining market conditions in general and the downgrade of one acquisition and development relationship of approximately $12 million to nonaccrual status during the third quarter of 2008. Annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans
receivable amounted to .44% for the third quarter of 2008, compared to .03% during the same period in the prior year and .22% for the second quarter of 2008. A provision for loan losses of $6.0 million was recorded for the third quarter of 2008, an
increase of $3.2 million compared to the second quarter of 2008. The third quarter 2008 provision compares to net charge-offs of $2.5 million for the quarter, allowing for building of the allowance as a percentage of total loans to 1.40% as compared
to 1.25% at June 30, 2008. The increased levels of provisioning reflect actions taken to address the continuing challenges in the residential housing market and deterioration of credit quality in a limited number of acquisition and development
construction credits, with the largest concentration of credit issues emanating from a total exposure of approximately $50 million in the Smith Mountain Lake, Virginia resort area.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



Liquidity and Capital Resources

Capital Resources

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 the banking subsidiary.

The primary source of additional capital to the Company is earnings retention, which represents net income less dividends declared. During the nine months
ended September 30, 2008, the Company retained $1.3 million, or 12.3% of its net income. Stockholders equity increased by $202.2 million, reflecting $201.1 million in equity acquired in the merger, the earnings retention, stock based
compensation and option exercises totaling $1.6 million and a decrease of $1.8 million in accumulated comprehensive income net of tax.

The Company and its
banking subsidiary 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 the Company and the subsidiary banks financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and its
banking subsidiary 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 the Company and its banking subsidiary to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier 1 capital to average assets. As of September 30, 2008, the Company and the subsidiary
bank met all minimum capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject and are categorized as well capitalized. There are no conditions or events that management believes have changed the subsidiary banks well capitalized
position.

The following table includes information with respect to the Companys risk-based capital and equity levels as of September 30, 2008
(In thousands):

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



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 markets served, concentrations of business and industry, competition, and the Companys overall financial condition. The Companys primary sources of liquidity are cash, securities in our available for sale
portfolio and a $10 million line of credit with a correspondent bank. In addition, the Bank has substantial lines of credit from its 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 Company also represents an important aspect of liquidity management. The Companys cash
outflows consist of overhead associated with corporate expenses, executive management, finance, marketing, human resources, loan and deposit operations, information technology, audit, compliance and loan review functions. It also includes outflows
associated with dividends to shareholders. The main sources of funding for the Company are the management fees and dividends it receives from its banking subsidiary, a working line of credit with a correspondent bank, and availability of the
subordinated debt 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.

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.

Off Balance Sheet Items

There have been no
material changes to the off balance sheet items disclosed in Managements Discussion and Analysis in STELs annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.

Contractual Obligations

There have been no material changes outside
the ordinary course of business to the contractual obligations disclosed in STELs annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.

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.

Access to Filings

The Company provides access to its SEC filings through the corporate Website at http://www.StellarOne.com. After accessing the Website, the filings are available upon selecting Investor Relations, then the SEC Filings &
Other Documents icon. Reports available include the annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and all amendments to those reports as soon as reasonably practicable after the reports are electronically
filed with or furnished to the SEC.

ITEM 3  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no significant changes to the quantitative and qualitative market risk disclosures in the Companys Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2007.

ITEM 4  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We are required to include in our periodic reports information regarding our controls and procedures for complying with the disclosure requirements of the federal
securities laws. These disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is accumulated
and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

We have established disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information related to the Company is made known to our principal executive officer and principal financial officer on a regular basis, in
particular during the periods in which our quarterly and annual reports are being prepared. Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of these disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the
period covered by this report and, based on their evaluation, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are operating effectively.

Because of
the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that our disclosure controls and procedures will detect or uncover every situation involving the failure of persons within the organization to
disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in our period reports.

Our management is also responsible for establishing and
maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting and control of our assets to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. In the normal course we review and change our internal controls to reflect changes in our business including acquisition related improvements. We continue to evaluate additional processes and
other components of internal control over financial reporting resulting from our recent business combination, including FNB Corporations historical internal control over financial reporting and the integration of those internal controls into
our own internal controls. This ongoing evaluation and integration may lead to our making additional changes in our internal control over financial reporting in future fiscal periods. Except as required in connection with these activities, there
have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, such internal control over financial
reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION



|ITEM 1. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
|------- | ------------------

There are no material legal
proceedings to which the Company or any of its subsidiary, directors, or officers is a party or by which they, or any of them, are threatened. Any legal proceeding presently pending or threatened against StellarOne Corporation and its subsidiaries
are either not material in respect to the amount in controversy or fully covered by insurance.



|ITEM 1a. | RISK FACTORS.
|-------- | -------------

The following is a certain risk
factor that management believes to be specific to our business.

If our allowance for loan losses becomes inadequate, our results of
operations may be adversely affected.

We maintain an allowance for loan losses that we believe is adequate to absorb estimated
incurred losses inherent in our loan portfolio. Through a periodic review and consideration of the loan portfolio, management determines the amount of the allowance for loan losses by considering current general market conditions, credit quality of
the loan portfolio and performance of our customers relative to their financial obligations with us. The amount of future losses is susceptible to changes in economic, operating and other conditions, including changes in interest rates that may be
beyond our control and these losses may cause our loan loss provision to vary widely from recent levels. Although we believe the allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb probable incurred losses in our loan portfolio, it is an estimate
subject to revision as losses are confirmed. Higher levels of loan losses in the future could have a material adverse impact on our financial performance. Federal and state regulators, as an integral part of their supervisory function, periodically
review our allowance for loan losses. These regulatory agencies may require us to increase our provision for loan losses or to recognize further loan charge offs based upon their judgments, which may be different from ours. Any increase in the
allowance for loan losses required by these regulatory agencies could have a negative effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

The above risk factor should not be viewed as an all inclusive list. See item 1A. Risk Factors of our 2007 10-K for additional risks that may affect our business.



|ITEM 2. | UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.
