Randal R.

In the last twelve months, we have completed the merger with Virginia BanCorp, relocated our headquarters to the vibrant Richmond area market, strengthened our capital position through a successful share offering, converted core operating systems to a single platform, and added key leaders to our management team. Our management team and growing team of lenders have positioned Virginia Commonwealth Bank for growth, while we strengthen the infrastructure required for a larger organization."

Results for the first quarter of 2017 include the operations of the company prior to its merger with Virginia BanCorp Inc., which was effective April 1, 2017, thus are not comparable to the first quarter of 2018.

Outlook

Greene concluded: "I believe we are well positioned to capture an under-served segment in our target markets. Recent consolidations have left a void, particularly in the Richmond and Hampton Roads areas. A community bank nearing the $1 billion asset mark should benefit from the recent bank mergers. I am excited to share that we will soon have a base in Virginia Beach and see great potential with our team on the ground to grow both loans and deposits. At the same time, on the back side of 2017, we are addressing infrastructure needs to support and mitigate the risks that come with growth. There is much opportunity, yet much to accomplish. Our team is coming together to meet the challenge."

share are supplemental financial measures that are not required nor presented in accordance with GAAP. Management believes ALL plus discounts on acquired loans as
a percentage of gross loans and tangible book value per share are meaningful because they are measures management uses to assess asset quality and capital levels,
respectively. Management believes that NIM, excluding acquisition accounting adjustments is meaningful because management uses it to assess the financial
performance of the company. Calculations of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to the calculation of similarly titled measures reported
by other companies.
