TOTAL REVENUE

Total revenue, which is composed of net interest income and non-interest income (before any provision for loan losses), was $13.53 million for the fourth quarter of 2016, higher by 14.09% compared to the previous quarter and by 14.41% compared to the same period in 2015.

Net Interest Income

The Company recorded net interest income of $9.62 million for the fourth quarter of 2016, relatively unchanged compared to the previous quarter and higher by 1.53% compared to the same period in 2015. The net interest margin in the fourth quarter of 2016 was 3.17%, higher by 6 basis points ("bp") compared to the previous quarter and unchanged compared to the same period in 2015.

The following factors contributed to the change in net interest margin during the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to the previous quarter:


    --  Yields on earning assets increased by 4 bp compared to the previous
        quarter.
    --  Yields on investment securities increased by 24 bp compared to the
        previous quarter. A significant portion of the investment portfolio is
        in residential mortgage backed securities ("MBS") and SBA securities.
        These securities experienced slower prepayments which had the effect of
        reducing premium amortization and increasing yields. Yields on floating
        rate securities, many of which have coupons that are indexed to either
        LIBOR or the Prime rate, increased following the decision by the Federal
        Reserve to raise the target Federal Funds rate by 25 bp in December of
        2016.
    --  Yields on loans decreased by 7 bp compared to the previous quarter, as
        we experienced some payoffs and also added loans at lower yields. The
        compression in loan yields was partially offset by higher yields on
        floating rate loans following the decision by the Federal Reserve to
        raise the target Federal Funds rate by 25 bp in December of 2016.
    --  Cost of funds was 0.36%, compared to 0.38% for the previous quarter as
        we paid off some borrowings and higher cost time deposits.

Comparing the fourth quarter of 2016 to the previous quarter, the table shows that the increase in interest income for securities was primarily due to higher yields stemming from reduced premium amortization on amortizing securities. We continue to manage the investment portfolio with a focus on liquidity while retaining a balance between fixed and floating rate investments. The decrease in interest income from loans in the fourth quarter relative to the previous quarter came from payoff activity accompanied by lower yields on new loan originations. Interest income from securities in the fourth quarter of 2016 was lower compared to the same quarter in 2015 as we sold some higher yielding securities in the fourth quarter of 2016 and used proceeds to fund loans and also pay off borrowings and maturing time deposits. Interest income from loans in the fourth quarter of 2016 was higher relative to the same period in 2015 primarily as a result of growth in loan balances in 2016. Competition for good credits continues to pressure loan rates.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income for the fourth quarter of 2016 increased by 74.51% compared to the previous quarter and was higher by 66.14% compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2015.


    --  Total revenue generated by our wealth management group, Middleburg
        Investment Group ("MIG") increased by 1.46% to $1.19 million compared to
        the previous quarter and increased by 2.51% compared to the same quarter
        in 2015. Fee income is primarily based upon the market value of assets
        under administration which were $1.93 billion at December 31, 2016.
    --  Net gains from securities sold were $1.04 million for the fourth quarter
        and $1.55 million for the full year 2016. Securities were sold in order
        to fund loan originations and also to pay off borrowings and high cost
        maturing time deposits.
    --  Other operating income was $894,000 for the quarter ended December 31,
        2016, an increase of 557.35% compared to the previous quarter and an
        increase of 102.26% compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2015. In
        the fourth quarter of 2016, there was a substantial recovery of
        approximately $191,000 in expenses related to an overdrawn deposit
        account that had previously been charged off and also insurance proceeds
        of approximately $560,000 were received related to previously incurred
        storm damage to two of our financial service centers.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Non-interest expense for the fourth quarter of 2016 increased by 9.22% compared to the previous quarter and by 23.13% compared to the same period in 2015. Principal categories of non-interest expense that changed were the following:


    --  Salaries and employee benefit expense decreased to $4.61 million for the
        current quarter compared to $4.73 million for the prior quarter and
        increased by 22.12% when compared to the same period in 2015. The
        increase in salary and benefit expenses in the fourth quarter of 2016
        relative to the same period in 2015 was due to higher incentive accruals
        in the fourth quarter of 2016.

        when compared to the prior quarter and increased by $25,000 when
        compared to the same period in 2015. OREO expenses were higher in the

             (1)    The net interest margin is
                     calculated by dividing tax
                     equivalent net interest income by
                     total average earning assets.
                     Tax equivalent net interest
                     income is calculated by grossing
                     up interest income for the
                     amounts that are non taxable
                     (i.e., municipal income) then
                     subtracting interest expense. The
                     tax rate utilized is 34%. The
                     Company's net interest margin is
                     a common measure used by the
                     financial services industry to
                     determine how profitably earning
                     assets are funded.  Because the
                     Company earns non taxable
                     interest income due to the mix in
                     its investment and loan
                     portfolios, net interest income
                     for the ratio is calculated on a
                     tax equivalent basis as described
                     above.  This calculation excludes
                     net securities gains and losses.

             (2)    The diluted earnings multiple is
                     calculated by dividing the
                     period's closing market price per
                     share by the annualized diluted
                     earnings per share for the
                     period.  The diluted earnings
                     multiple is a measure of how much
                     an investor may be willing to pay
                     for $1.00 of the Company's
                     earnings.

             (3)    The book value multiple (or price
                     to book ratio) is calculated by
                     dividing the period's closing
                     market price per share by the
                     period's book value per share.
                     The book value multiple is a
                     measure used to compare the
                     Company's market value per share
                     to its book value per share.

             (4)    Tangible book value is not a
                     measurement under accounting
                     principles generally accepted in
                     the United States.  It is
                     computed by subtracting
                     identified intangible assets and
                     goodwill from total Middleburg
                     Financial Corporation
                     shareholders' equity and then
                     dividing the result by the number
                     of shares of common stock issued
                     and outstanding at the end of the
                     accounting period.

             (5)    The efficiency ratio is not a
                     measurement under accounting
                     principles generally accepted in
                     the United States. It is
                     calculated by dividing non-
                     interest expense (adjusted for
                     amortization of intangibles,
                     other real estate expenses, and
                     non-recurring one-time charges)
                     by the sum of tax equivalent net
                     interest income and non-interest
                     income excluding gains and losses
                     on the investment portfolio. The
                     tax rate utilized in calculating
                     tax equivalent amounts is 34%.
                     The Company calculates and
                     reviews this ratio as a means of
                     evaluating operational
                     efficiency.
