Bank of the James Financial Group, Inc. and Subsidiary

March 31, 2006 and 2005

Notes to Unaudited
Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1  Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Bank of the James Financial Group, Inc. (Financial) pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In managements opinion the accompanying financial statements, which unless otherwise noted are unaudited, reflect all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals, necessary
for a fair presentation of the financial information as of and for the three month period ended March 31, 2006, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Additional information concerning the
organization and business of Financial, accounting policies followed, and other related information are contained in Financials Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005. These financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2005 included in Financials Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. Results for the three month period ended March 31, 2006 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2006.

Financials critical accounting policy relates
to the evaluation of the allowance for loan loss which is based on managements opinion of an amount that is adequate to absorb loss in the Banks existing portfolio. The allowance for loan loss is established through a provision for loan
loss based on available information including the composition of the loan portfolio, historical loan loss (to the extent available due to limited history), specific impaired loans, availability and quality of collateral, age of the various
portfolios, changes in local economic conditions, and loan performance and quality of the portfolio. Different assumptions used in evaluating the adequacy of the Banks allowance for loan loss could result in material changes in
Financials financial condition and results of operations. The Banks policies with respect to the methodology for determining the allowance for loan loss involve a higher degree of complexity and require management to make subjective
judgments that often require assumptions or estimates about uncertain matters. These critical policies and their assumptions are periodically reviewed with the Board of Directors.

Note 2  Use of Estimates

The
consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 3  Earnings Per Share

For the quarters ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, basic earnings per share has been computed based upon the weighted average common shares outstanding
of 2,002,993 and 1,948,880, respectively. All earnings per share amounts have been adjusted to reflect the 25% stock dividend paid by Financial in March 2006 as well as all prior stock dividends.

Currently, only the option shares granted to certain officers and employees of Financial pursuant to the Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan of Financial are
considered dilutive under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share. The following is a summary of the earnings per share calculation for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and
2005.

Note 4 - Stock Based Compensation

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123R, Share-Based Payment
(SFAS 123R). SFAS 123R requires companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments, such as stock options and restricted stock, based on the fair value of those awards at the date of grant and
eliminates the choice to account for employee stock options under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25). The Company adopted SFAS 123R effective January 1, 2006 using the
modified prospective method and as such, results for prior periods have not been restated. Prior to January 1, 2006, no compensation expense was recognized by the Company for stock option grants as all such grants had an exercise price not less
than fair market value on the date of grant. The Company has not issued any restricted stock.

As a result of adopting SFAS 123R on January 1, 2006,
the amount of stock-based compensation included within the non-interest expense category for the three months ended March 31, 2006 is $25,000 which impacted basic and diluted earnings per share by $0.01 for the three months ended March 31,
2006.

The following illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value method of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No, 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123), prior to January 1, 2006:

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with
the following weighted average assumptions used for the three month period ended March 31, 2005: dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 10%, a risk-free interest rate of 4.08%, and expected lives of 7 years.

During 2006, the Company took into consideration guidance under SFAS 123R and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (SAB 107) when reviewing and updating
assumptions.

Stock option plan activity for the three months ended March 31, 2006 is summarized below:

Note 5  Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of
Financial Assets an amendment of FASB Statement 140 (Statement 156). Statement 156 amends Statement 140 with respect to separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities. Statement 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. Statement 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.

##### Table of Contents

Adoption of Statement 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 Statement 156 at the beginning of 2007 to have a material impact.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains statements that constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The words believe, estimate,
expect, intend, anticipate, plan and similar expressions and variations thereof identify certain of such forward-looking statements which speak only as of the dates on which they were made. Bank of the
James Financial Group, Inc. undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Readers are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are
not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. Such factors include, but are not limited
to competition, general economic conditions, potential changes in interest rates, and changes in the value of real estate securing loans made by Bank of the James, the wholly-owned subsidiary of Bank of the James Financial Group, Inc.

GENERAL

Critical Accounting
Policies

Bank of the James Financial Group, Inc.s (Financial) 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, 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 ratios as one factor in determining the inherent loss that
may be present in our loan portfolio. Actual losses could differ significantly from the historical factors that we use in estimating risk. In addition, GAAP itself may change from one previously acceptable method to another method. Although the
economics of our transactions would be the same, the timing of events that would impact our transactions could change.

The allowance for
loan losses is managements estimate of the losses that may be sustained in our loan portfolio. The allowance is based on two basic principles of accounting: (i) SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, which requires
that losses be accrued when they are probable of occurring and are reasonably estimable and (ii) SFAS No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, which requires that losses on impaired loans be accrued based on
the differences between the value of collateral, present value of future cash flows or values that are observable in the secondary market and the loan balance. See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements along with Results of
Operations  Allowance for Loan Losses and Loan Loss Reserve below for further discussion of the allowance for loan losses.

Overview

Financial was incorporated on October 3, 2003 under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Financial was incorporated at the
direction of Bank of the James (the Bank) to serve as a bank holding company of the Bank. Effective January 1, 2004, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Share Exchange dated October 9, 2003 (the Agreement) between
Financial and the Bank, and approved by the shareholders of the Bank at a special meeting of shareholders held on December 17, 2003, Financial acquired all of the outstanding stock of the Bank in a statutory share exchange transaction. Under
the terms of the Agreement, the shares of the Banks common stock were exchanged for shares of Financial on a one-for-one basis.

##### Table of Contents

Following completion of the share exchange, Financial became the successor issuer to the Bank pursuant to
Rule 12g-3 (promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Prior to the share exchange, the Bank was subject to the information requirements of the Exchange Act and, in accordance with Section 12(i) thereof, was required to file
reports and other financial information with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the Federal Reserve). Such reports and other information filed by the Bank with the Federal Reserve may be inspected and copied at the
public reference facilities maintained by the Federal Reserve in Washington, D.C. at the Freedom of Information Office, 1st Floor of the Martin Building, 20th & C Streets, and in Richmond, Virginia at the Research Library of the Federal
Reserve Bank of Richmond, 701 East Byrd Street. The last financial report filed by the Bank with the Federal Reserve was its Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended September 30, 2003, filed on November 13, 2003.

Financial declared a 25% stock dividend on January 17, 2006, which dividend was payable to shareholders of record as of February 10, 2006 and
was paid on March 10, 2006.

Financial had no business until January 1, 2004 when it acquired the common stock of the Bank. As of
the date hereof, the business of Financial consists of the ownership of the capital stock of the Bank and of BOTJ Investment Group, Inc. (BOTJIG), Financials two wholly-owned subsidiaries.

The Bank is a Virginia banking corporation headquartered in Lynchburg, Virginia. The Bank was incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia
as a state chartered bank in 1998 and began banking operations in July 1999. The Bank is a community-oriented financial institution that provides varied banking services to individuals, small and medium-sized businesses, and professional concerns in
the Central Virginia, Region 2000 area, which encompasses the seven jurisdictions of the Town of Altavista, Amherst County, Appomattox County, the City of Bedford, Bedford County, Campbell County, and the City of Lynchburg. The Bank strives to
provide its customers with products comparable to statewide regional banks located in its market area, while maintaining the prompt response time and level of service of a community bank. Management believes this operating strategy has particular
appeal in the Banks market area.

BOTJIG is a corporation that was incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia in
2006. Effective April 4, 2006, BOTJIG began providing securities brokerage services to Bank customers and others. BOTJIG provides the Services through an agreement with Community Bankers Securities, LLC (CB Securities), a
registered broker-dealer. Under this agreement, CB Securities will operate service centers in one or more branches of the Bank. The centers will be staffed by a dual employee of BOTJIG and CB Securities. BOTJIG receives commissions on transactions
generated and in some cases ongoing management fees such as mutual fund 12b-1 fees. As of the date hereof, BOTJIG has been open for approximately one month and its financial impact on the consolidated financials of the Company has been immaterial.
Although management cannot predict the financial impact of BOTJIG with certainty, management anticipates that the impact will be minimal in 2006. In addition, BOTJIG has purchased 4.96% of CBS Holdings, LLC for $10,000. CBS Holdings has an option to
purchase CB Securities.

The operating results of the Bank depend primarily upon its net interest income, which is determined by the
difference between (i) interest and dividend income on interest earning assets, which consist primarily of loans, investment securities and other investments, and (ii) interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, which consist
principally of deposits. The Banks net income also is affected by its provision for loan loss, as well as the level of its other operating income, including loan fees and

service charges, and its other operating expenses, including salaries and employee benefits, occupancy expense, Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation assessments, miscellaneous other expenses, franchise taxes, and income taxes.

##### Table of Contents

Although the Bank cannot predict with certainty the financial impact of each new branch, management
generally anticipates that each new branch will become profitable within 12 to 18 months of operation.

Except as set forth herein, the
Bank does not expect to purchase any significant property or equipment in the upcoming 12 months.

Future branch openings are subject to
regulatory approval.

The following discussion represents managements discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results
of operations of Financial as of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 and for the three months ended March 31, 2006. It should be read in conjunction with the condensed financial statements included elsewhere herein.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The
Bank is a party to various financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of
credit. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheets and could impact the overall liquidity and capital resources to the extent customers accept
and or use these commitments

The Banks exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial
instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for
on-balance sheet instruments. A summary of the Banks commitments is as follows:



|                             |  |                |           
|---------------------------- |  | -------------- | ----------
|                             |  | March 31, 2006
|Commitments to extend credit |  | $              | 37,158,000
|Letters of Credit            |  |                | 2,528,000 
|                             |  |                |           
|Total:                       |  | $              | 39,686,000
|                             |  |                |           

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation
of any condition established in the contract. Because many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if
deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on the Banks credit evaluation of the customer.

Standby letters of
credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those letters of credit are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing
letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. Collateral is required in instances that the Bank deems necessary.

SUMMARY OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The comparison of the financial condition
and operating results between March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, as applicable, should be read in the context of the length of time for which the Bank has been operating. The Bank began operations on July 22, 1999, opened its
second location in November, 2000, opened its mortgage division in April, 2001, opened its third location in June, 2002, opened its fourth location in February, 2005, and opened its fifth location in October, 2005.

Financial Condition Summary

March 31, 2006 as Compared to December 31, 2005

Total assets were
$202,616,000 on March 31, 2006 compared with $195,852,000 at December 31, 2005. This increase in total assets can be attributed to deposit growth, particularly the continued growth of the Forest Branch, the Madison Heights Branch, and the
Main Street Office. Total deposits grew from $173,956,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005 to $180,091,000 on March 31, 2006, an increase of 3.53%. In addition, the Banks effort to increase non-FDIC insured sweep accounts
(repurchase agreements) resulted in an increased balance in these accounts to $7,033,000 on March 31, 2006 from $6,957,000 on December 31, 2005.

The increase in total assets is due in part to an increase in deposits resulting from an increase in rates (as a result of the increasing rate environment) that the Bank offers on its deposit products, the addition of
new lenders, and the Banks reputation for service. Loans, net of unearned income and allowance, increased to $161,901,000 on March 31, 2006 from $155,480,000 on December 31, 2005. Total loans increased to $163,866,000 on
March 31, 2006 from $157,257,000 on December 31, 2005. The following summarizes the composition of the Banks loan portfolio as of the dates indicated (dollar amounts in thousands):

Non accrual loans increased to $487,000 on March 31, 2006 from $261,000 on December 31,
2005. This increase was due primarily to the reclassification of several real estate loans, including one loan in the amount of approximately $120,000 that since has been paid in full.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased to $8,928,000 on March 31, 2006 from $9,236,000 on December 31, 2005. This decrease is a result of routine
fluctuations in deposits, including fluctuations in transactional accounts and professional settlement accounts, both of which are subject to fluctuations, and will contribute to variations in cash and cash equivalents.

Securities held-to-maturity decreased to $7,498,000 on March 31, 2006 from $7,499,000 on December 31, 2005. Securities available-for-sale
decreased to $16,106,000 on March 31, 2006 from

The Bank did not buy or sell any investment securities during the quarter ended March 31,
2006. The decrease from December 31, 2005 in securities available-for-sale was primarily due the change in fair market value of the securities available-for-sale and regular principal payments from amortizing securities between
December 31, 2005 and March 31, 2006.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2006

Earnings Summary

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $356,000 compared to
a net income of $343,000 for the same period in 2005. Basic earnings per common share for both the three months ended March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2005 was $0.18. Fully diluted earnings per common share for the both the three months ended
March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2005 was $0.17 All earnings per share amounts have been adjusted to reflect the 25% stock dividend paid by Financial in March 2006 as well as all prior stock dividends. Net income remained constant in large to
part due to the hiring of additional personnel necessary to support the Banks expansion.

These operating results represent an
annualized return on shareholders equity of 9.66% for the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared with 10.66% for the same period in 2005. The annualized return on average assets for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was 0.74%
compared with 0.81% for the same period in 2005.

Interest Income; Interest Expense; and Net Interest Income

Interest income increased to $3,342,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 from $2,670,000 for the same period in 2005. This increase was due
to an increase in interest earning assets, including loans and investment securities, as well as an increase in rates paid to the Bank on its interest earning assets. In particular, a significant portion of the Banks loan portfolio is invested
in variable rate loans, the rates on which have continued to increase in the current rising interest rate environment.

Interest expense
increased to $1,208,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 from $761,000 for the same period in 2005. This increase in interest expense was primarily due to both an increase in the aggregate balance in interest bearing deposit accounts
and, in response to the interest rate increases by Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), an increase in the interest rates paid by the Bank on deposit accounts. In addition, interest expense increased in part because the Bank has
increased the interest rates that it offers on certificates of deposit in response both to competition and the FOMC rate increases. The Bank expects this trend to continue during the current fiscal year.

The fundamental source of the Banks revenue is net interest income, which is determined by the difference between (i) interest and dividend
income on interest earning assets, which consist primarily of loans, investment securities and other investments, and (ii) interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, which consist principally of deposits and other borrowings. Net
interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $2,134,000 compared with $1,909,000 for the same period in 2005. The net interest margin decreased to 4.65% for the three months ended March 31, 2006 from 4.74% in the same
period a year ago. The growth in net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2006 as compared with the comparable three months in 2005 was due to the increase in average interest-earning assets, which was the result of growth in
the loan portfolio funded by the growth in deposits. The Bank increased the rates that it pays on deposit accounts in response to competition and this resulted in a slight decrease in the net interest margin.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest
income, which is comprised primarily of fees and charges on transactional deposit accounts, mortgage loan origination fees, and the Banks ownership interest in a title insurance agency, decreased to $449,000 for the three month periods ended
March 31, 2006, from $456,000 (exclusive of $5,000 in income from gain on sale of securities) for the comparable period in 2005.

The
Bank, through Bank of the James Mortgage, a Division of Bank of the James (the Mortgage Division) originates consumer residential mortgage loans. Through the Mortgage Division, the Bank originates conforming and non-conforming home
mortgages in the Region 2000 area, as defined below. As part of the Banks overall risk management strategy, all of the loans originated and closed by the Mortgage Division are presold to major national mortgage banking or financial
institutions. The Mortgage Division assumes no credit or interest rate risk on these mortgages. In July, 2005, the Mortgage Division opened it second mortgage origination office. This office is located in Moneta and was opened to serve the Smith
Mountain Lake market. The Bank anticipates that this office will contribute additional non-interest income during 2006.

Non-Interest
Expense

Non-interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $1,813,000 compared to $1,676,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 2005. The increase in non-interest expense can be attributed to increased occupancy expenses, along with an increase in compensation expense related to an increase in the number of employees necessary to accommodate the
Banks growth and expansion.

Management expects that the Main Street Office and the Boonsboro Road Office will generate interest earning assets to
compensate for the costs incurred in opening and operating those branches. Total personnel expense increased to $911,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2006, from $792,000 for the comparable period in 2005. In addition part of this
increase was related to the Companys adoption as of January 1, 2006 of SFAS 123R requiring the recognition of options expense equal to the fair market value as calculated at the time of then grant. Additional information concerning SFAS
123R is set forth in Note 4 to the Financial Statements. Compensation for some employees of the Mortgage Division is commission-based and therefore subject to fluctuation. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in outside expenses, the
majority of which were consulting fees, directly related to compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley (SOx). The Bank also had increases in depreciation expense, data processing fees, other operating expenses.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has delayed the date by which Financial must comply with the internal control requirements of Section 404 of
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act until July, 2007. Management expects that this delay will enable the Bank to use more of its internal resources and thereby decrease the Banks reliance on outside consulting sources. Management expects that the delay
will reduce expenses associated with evaluating the internal control structure.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses is charged to earnings to bring the total allowance to a level deemed appropriate by management and is based upon many
factors, including calculations of specific impairment of certain loans, general economic conditions, actual and expected credit losses, loan performance measures, historical trends and specific conditions of the individual borrower. The amount
added to the allowance for loan loss for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $218,000 compared with $175,000 for the comparable period in 2005. This increase was due in large part to growth in the loan portfolio and the application of the
loan loss calculation for impaired loans. Management believes that the current allowance for loan loss of $1,965,000 (or 1.20% of total loans) at March 31, 2006 is adequate.

The following sets forth the reconciliation of the allowance for loan loss:
