MARKET SHARE GROWTH, IMPACT OF ECONOMY BOTH REFLECTED IN OLD POINT

FINANCIAL CORPORATION’S FIRST QUARTER 2009 EARNINGS

• First quarter 2009 net income $770 thousand

• Net loans up 2.5%

• Deposits up 3.9%

• Dividends increased by 6.3%

April 28, 2009, Hampton, VA Old Point Financial Corporation (Nasdaq “OPOF”) experienced deposit, loan and dividend growth and increased its loan loss reserve in the quarter that ended March 31, 2009. Net income and total non-interest income dropped, while non-interest expenses rose and non-performing assets increased. Old Point management says the rise in non-interest expenses reflects its commitment to increasing market presence. By adding branches and business development personnel, management intends to grow market share.

Net income was $770 thousand, or $0.16 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. Assets as of March 31, 2009 totaled $880.8 million, up 4.6% from March 31, 2008 assets of $841.9 million. Net loans grew to $622.7 million, a 2.5% increase over 2008 first quarter net loans of $607.3 million. Deposits for the period increased to $645.4 million, up 3.9% over March 31, 2008 deposits of $621.0 million. Dividends declared for the quarter were $0.17 per share, up $0.01, or 6.3% from the first quarter of 2008. Annualized Return on Average Assets (ROA) for year-to-date 2009 is 0.36%, and annualized Return on Average Equity (ROE) is 3.70%.

“With the increase in net loans and deposits, we’re proving we can make gains even in tough economic times, and in fact, because of them,” said Robert F. Shuford, Chairman and President of Old Point Financial Corporation. “Having been in business since before the Great Depression, Old Point understands the importance of the long-term view. We’ve anticipated that our stature as a stable locally-managed community bank would attract more customers. We’ve invested in adding staff to take advantage of opportunities and we’ve begun building our branch in Norfolk’s Ghent section. The salary investment is reflected on the expense side of our income statement, but also on the positive side with increased business.”

Still, Shuford said the Bank continues with the prudent approach that has been its tradition since opening in 1923.

“The economic situation in our market continues to be unsettled. We continue to add to our allowance for loan losses. Our provision for loan losses during first quarter of 2009 was $1 million, $700 thousand over the first quarter of 2008. As the year continues, we will continuously monitor our portfolio and will take appropriate action.”

Other items of note for the first quarter of 2009:

Net interest income after provision for loan losses was $5.5 million, down 11.5% or $710 thousand from the first quarter in 2008. This figure represents the effect of the $700 thousand increase in the provision for loan losses.

Total non interest income for the quarter was $3.0 million, down 8.0% or $258 thousand less than the comparable quarter of 2008. Primary contributors were decreases in fiduciary income reflecting the decline in stock market value, service charges on deposits and other service charges and fees.

Noninterest expenses increased by $743 thousand, or 11.2% on a quarter-to-quarter comparison. Salaries represented more than half of the increase, as both the Bank and Old Point Trust continue to add to staff to take advantage of opportunities presented in the current environment. In addition, expenses associated with resolving problem loans increased $151 thousand, and the FDIC insurance premium rose by $85 thousand.

Net Interest Margin (NIM) As interest rates continue to remain at historically low levels, the differential between cost of funds and earnings rates has been squeezed. The net interest margin decreased to 3.35%, down 11 basis points from the first quarter of 2008.

Non-Performing Assets (NPAs) Non Performing Assets have increased over the last several quarters as the economy has slowed. NPAs were at $3.7 million on March 31, 2008, $14.9 million on December 31, 2008 and $17.1 million on March 31, 2009. Old Point National Bank is monitoring the loan portfolio closely and taking appropriate action as it is warranted.

Loans Charged Off (net of recoveries) Net loans charged off decreased to $392 thousand, down $21 thousand from the first quarter 2008 total of $413 thousand.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (ALLL)/Provision for Loan Losses The March 31, 2009 ALLL balance increased to $7.0 million, up $608 thousand from the December 31, 2008 balance of $6.41 million. The ALLL balance reflects Management’s analysis of the loan portfolio factoring the underlying collateral value of the loans, plans for problem loan resolution, and current economic conditions.
