PART I

Item 1 - Business

General

First Bankshares, Inc., a Virginia corporation (“First Bankshares”), was incorporated in Virginia on March 4, 2008, and was the holding company for SuffolkFirst Bank, a community bank founded in the City of Suffolk, Virginia in 2002.

Effective December 22, 2009, First Bankshares and Xenith Corporation, a Virginia corporation, completed the merger of Xenith Corporation with and into First Bankshares (the “Merger”), with First Bankshares being the surviving entity in the Merger. The Merger was completed in accordance with the terms of the Agreement of Merger and related Plan of Merger, dated as of May 12, 2009 and as amended by Amendment No. 1, dated as of August 14, 2009; Amendment No. 2, dated as of October 15, 2009; Amendment No. 3, dated as of October 30, 2009; and Amendment No. 4, dated as of November 19, 2009 (collectively, the “Merger Agreement”), between First Bankshares and Xenith Corporation. At the effective time of the Merger, First Bankshares amended its articles of incorporation to, among other things, change its name to Xenith Bankshares, Inc. (“Xenith Bankshares”). In addition, following the completion of the Merger, SuffolkFirst Bank changed its name to Xenith Bank.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, First Bankshares shareholders were entitled to elect to retain their shares of First Bankshares common stock or to receive $9.23 in cash per share for some or all of their shares of First Bankshares common stock, subject to proration in the event the aggregate cash elections exceeded 569,074 shares (or 25% of shares outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger) (the “Cash Election Number”). As of 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on October 15, 2009, the deadline for First Bankshares shareholders to elect to receive cash for some or all of their shares of First Bankshares common stock, First Bankshares had received aggregate cash elections with respect to 1,165,311 shares of First Bankshares common stock, representing approximately 51.2% of the shares of First Bankshares common stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger.

Because aggregate cash elections exceeded the Cash Election Number, the cash elections were reduced proportionally. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, a number of cash election shares held by each First Bankshares shareholder who made a cash election equal to the product of (1) 0.488345171 (or the Cash Election Number divided by the total number of cash election shares) and (2) the total number of cash election shares held by such shareholder was converted into the right to receive $9.23 in cash (with any resulting factional shares rounded down to the next whole share). Each cash election share that was not converted into the right to receive $9.23 in cash and each share of First Bankshares common stock for which a cash election was not made represented one share of Xenith Bankshares common stock immediately following the effective time of the Merger.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each share of Xenith Corporation common stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, was cancelled and converted automatically into the right to receive 0.8700 shares of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Xenith Bankshares common stock (the “Exchange Ratio”). Based on the Exchange Ratio, an aggregate of 4,139,704 shares of Xenith Bankshares common stock were issued to the former shareholders of Xenith Corporation in exchange for their shares of Xenith Corporation common stock. All fractional shares of Xenith Bankshares common stock that a Xenith Corporation shareholder would otherwise have been entitled to receive as a result of the Merger were aggregated and, if a fractional share resulted from such aggregation, such holder received, instead of the fractional share, an amount in cash equal to $9.23 multiplied by the fraction of a share of Xenith Bankshares common stock to which such holder would otherwise have been entitled.

Table of Contents

Options to purchase shares of First Bankshares common stock outstanding at the effective time of the Merger remain outstanding as options to purchase shares of Xenith Bankshares common stock. An aggregate of 906,000 options and warrants to purchase shares of Xenith Corporation’s common stock outstanding at the effective time of the Merger were converted into an aggregate of 788,220 options and warrants to purchase shares of Xenith Bankshares common stock based on the Exchange Ratio at an exercise price of $11.49 per share.

Based on the foregoing and the fact that there were an aggregate of 2,276,298 shares of First Bankshares common stock and an aggregate of 94,493 options to purchase shares of First Bankshares common stock outstanding at the effective time of the Merger, there were an aggregate of 5,846,928 shares of Xenith Bankshares common stock outstanding immediately following the effective time of the Merger, with First Bankshares shareholders immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger beneficially owning approximately 26.8% of the combined company’s outstanding shares of common stock and Xenith Corporation shareholders immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger beneficially owning approximately 73.2% of the combined company’s outstanding shares of common stock, on a fully diluted basis.

References in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 (this “Annual Report”) to “Xenith Bankshares,” “the Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” are to Xenith Bankshares and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Xenith Bank. References in this Annual Report to “the Bank” are to Xenith Bank.

Xenith Bankshares, through Xenith Bank, operates four full-service branches: one in Richmond, Virginia and three in Suffolk, Virginia. Xenith Bank continues to do business as SuffolkFirst Bank at its existing locations in Suffolk, Virginia. Xenith Bankshares anticipates opening a fifth branch in Tysons Corner, Virginia during the second or third quarter of 2010.

As the Merger was completed on December 22, 2009, this Annual Report reflects the operations of Xenith Bankshares (formerly First Bankshares, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, SuffolkFirst Bank) prior to the Merger. This Annual Report also reflects the post-Merger operations of the consolidated entity for the period from December 22, 2009 through December 31, 2009.

Business

The Bank’s core business development currently targets medium-sized business customers in addition to offering various consumer products. Our services and products currently consist primarily of taking deposits and making loans within our trade areas of the City of Suffolk and its adjacent cities and counties, the City of Richmond and its adjacent cities and counties, and the Northern Virginia markets, including the District of Columbia. We provide a broad selection of commercial and retail banking products, including commercial and industrial loans and commercial and residential real estate loans and various consumer loans. We also offer a wide range of deposit products, including time deposit, automated clearing house transactions, remote capture, debit cards, 24-hour ATM access, and Internet banking and bill pay service.

In 2008, the Bank introduced Remote Deposit Express, a service designed to allow business customers to submit their deposits electronically seven days a week. Remote Deposit Express also eliminates the time, risk, and expense that businesses incur by having their employees deliver deposits to branch locations or by paying for courier pickup. In addition, we provide a variety of deposit products that includes time deposits, automated clearing house transactions, debit cards, 24-hour ATM access, and Internet banking and bill pay service.

Supervision and Regulation

General

Xenith Bank is a Virginia state chartered bank regulated by the Federal Reserve Bank (the “Federal Reserve”) and the Bureau of Financial Institutions of Virginia (the “Bureau of Financial Institutions”). Xenith Bank operates as a subsidiary under Xenith Bankshares, a one bank holding company. Our deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”). Xenith Bankshares and the Bank are required by the Federal Reserve and the Bureau of Financial Institutions to file semi-annual and quarterly financial reports, respectively, on our financial condition and performance. In addition, the Federal Reserve and the Bureau of Financial Institutions conduct periodic onsite and offsite examinations of the Bank. We must comply with a variety of reporting requirements and banking regulations. The laws and regulations governing us generally have been promulgated to protect depositors and the deposit insurance funds and are not intended to protect our various shareholders. Additionally, we must bear the cost of compliance with reporting and other regulations; this cost can be significant and could affect our financial performance.

The Federal Reserve, Bureau of Financial Institutions, and FDIC have the authority and responsibility to ensure that financial institutions are managed in a safe and sound manner and to prevent the continuation of unsafe and unsound activities. Additionally, they must generally approve significant business activities undertaken by financial institutions. Typical examples of such activities requiring approval include branch locations, mergers, capital transactions, and major organizational structure changes. Obtaining regulatory approval for these types of activities can be time consuming and expensive and ultimately might not be successful.

Insurance of Accounts and Regulatory Assessments

Our deposit accounts are insured by the Bank Insurance Fund of the FDIC up to the maximum legal limits of the FDIC and are subject to regulation, supervision, and regular examination by the Bureau of Financial Institutions and the Federal Reserve. The regulations of these various agencies govern most aspects of our business, including required reserves against deposits, loans, investments, mergers and acquisitions, borrowings, dividends, and location and number of branch offices.

Substantially all of the deposits of the Bank are insured up to applicable limits by the Deposit Insurance Fund (“DIF”) of the FDIC and are subject to deposit insurance assessments to maintain the DIF. The FDIC utilizes a risk-based assessment system that imposes insurance premiums based upon a risk matrix that takes into account a bank’s capital level and supervisory rating (“CAMELS rating”). The risk matrix utilizes four risk categories which are distinguished by capital levels and supervisory ratings.

In December 2008, the FDIC issued a final rule that raised the then current assessment rates uniformly by 7 basis points for the first quarter of 2009 assessment, which resulted in annualized assessment rates for institutions in the highest risk category (“Risk Category 1 institutions”) ranging from 12 to 14 basis points (basis points representing cents per $100 of assessable deposits). In February 2009, the FDIC issued final rules to amend the DIF restoration plan, change the risk-based assessment system and set assessment rates for Risk Category 1 institutions beginning in the second quarter of 2009. For Risk Category 1 institutions that have long-term debt issuer ratings, the FDIC determines the initial base assessment rate using a combination of weighted-average CAMELS component ratings, long-term debt issuer ratings (converted to numbers and averaged) and the financial ratios method assessment rate (as defined), each equally weighted. The initial base assessment rates for Risk Category 1 institutions range from 12 to 16 basis points, on an annualized basis. After the effect of potential base-rate adjustments, total base assessment rates range from 7 to 24 basis points. The potential adjustments to a Risk Category 1 institution’s initial base assessment rate, include (i) a potential decrease of up to 5 basis points for long-term unsecured debt, including senior and subordinated debt and (ii) a potential increase of up to 8 basis points for secured liabilities in excess of 25% of domestic deposits.

Table of Contents

In May 2009, the FDIC issued a final rule which levied a special assessment applicable to all insured depository institutions totaling 5 basis points of each institution’s total assets less Tier 1 capital as of June 30, 2009, not to exceed 10 basis points of domestic deposits. The special assessment was part of the FDIC’s efforts to rebuild the DIF. Deposit insurance expense during 2009 included $77,800 recognized by the Bank in the second quarter related to the special assessment.

In November 2009, the FDIC issued a rule that required all insured depository institutions, with limited exceptions, to prepay their estimated quarterly risk-based assessments for the fourth quarter of 2009 and for all of 2010, 2011 and 2012. The FDIC also adopted a uniform three-basis point increase in assessment rates effective on January 1, 2011. In December 2009, the Bank paid $1,018,700 in prepaid risk-based assessments, which is included in other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2009.

FDIC insurance expense totaled $260,560 in 2009. FDIC insurance expense includes deposit insurance assessments and Financing Corporation (“FICO”) assessments related to outstanding FICO bonds. The FICO is a mixed-ownership government corporation established by the Competitive Equality Banking Act of 1987 whose sole purpose was to function as a financing vehicle for the now defunct Federal Savings & Loan Insurance Corporation.

Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (the “FDIA”), the FDIC may terminate deposit insurance upon a finding that the institution has engaged in unsafe and unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations, or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition imposed by the FDIC.

Bank Capital Adequacy Guidelines

The Federal Reserve Board (the “Federal Reserve Board”) has issued risk-based and leverage capital guidelines applicable to banking organizations that it supervises. Under the risk-based capital requirements, we are generally required to maintain a minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets (including specific off-balance sheet activities, such as standby letters of credit) of 8%. At least half of total capital (4%) must be composed of “Tier 1 capital,” which is defined as common equity, retained earnings, and qualifying perpetual preferred stock less certain intangibles. The remainder may consist of “Tier 2 capital,” which is defined as specific subordinated debt, some hybrid capital instruments and other qualifying preferred stock, and a limited amount of the Allowance for Loan Losses. Assets are adjusted under the risk-based guidelines to take into account different risk characteristics, with the categories ranging from 0% (requiring no risk-based capital) for assets such as cash and certain U.S. Government and Agency Securities to 100% for the bulk of assets which are typically held by a bank holding company, including certain multi-family residential and commercial real estate loans, commercial business loans, and consumer loans. Residential first mortgage loans on one- to four-family residential real estate and certain seasoned multi-family residential real estate loans, which are not 90 days or more past due or nonperforming and which have been made in accordance with prudent underwriting standards, are assigned a 50% level in the risk-weighting system, as are certain privately issued mortgage-backed securities representing indirect ownership of such loans.

In addition to the risk-based capital requirements, the Federal Reserve has established a minimum 4.0% Leverage Capital Ratio (Tier 1 capital to total adjusted assets) requirement.

The highest rated banks are those that have well-diversified risk, including no undue interest rate risk exposure, excellent asset quality, high liquidity, and good earnings; and that, in general, are considered a strong banking organization. A bank having less than the minimum Leverage Capital Ratio requirement shall, within 60 days of the date as of which it fails to comply with such requirement, submit a reasonable

Table of Contents

plan describing the means and timing by which it will achieve its minimum Leverage Capital Ratio requirements. A bank that fails to file such a plan is deemed to be operating in an unsafe and unsound manner and could be subject to a cease-and-desist order. Any insured depository institution with a Leverage Capital Ratio that is less than 2.05% is deemed to be operating in an unsafe and unsound condition pursuant to Section 8(a) of the FDIA and is subject to potential termination of deposit insurance. However, such an institution will not be subject to an enforcement proceeding solely on account of its capital ratios, provided it has entered into and is in compliance with a written agreement to increase its Leverage Capital Ratio and to take such other action as may be necessary to operate in a safe and sound manner. The capital regulations also provide, among other things, for the issuance of a capital directive, which is a final order issued to a bank that fails to maintain minimum capital or to restore its capital to the minimum capital requirement within a specified time period. Such directive is enforceable in the same manner as a final cease-and-desist order.

Under these regulations, a commercial bank will be:

 

   

“well-capitalized” if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of 10% or greater, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6% or greater, and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 5% or greater and is not subject to any written capital order or directive;

 

   

“adequately capitalized” if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of 8% or greater, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 4% or greater, and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4% or greater (3% in certain circumstances) and does not meet the definition of “well-capitalized”;

 

   

“undercapitalized” if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of less than 8%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of less than 4%, and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of less than 4% (3% in certain circumstances);

 

   

“significantly undercapitalized” if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of less than 6%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of less than 3%, and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of less than 3%; or

 

   

“critically undercapitalized” if it has a ratio of tangible equity to total assets that is equal to or less than 2%.

The risk-based capital standards of the Federal Reserve explicitly identify concentrations of credit risk and the risk arising from non-traditional activities, as well as an institution’s ability to manage these risks, as important factors to be taken into account by the agency in assessing an institution’s overall capital adequacy. The capital guidelines also provide that an institution’s exposure to a decline in the economic value of its capital due to changes in interest rates be considered by the agency as a factor in evaluating a banking organization’s capital adequacy.

Prompt Corrective Action

Immediately upon becoming undercapitalized, an institution shall become subject to the provisions of Section 38 of the FDIA, which: (a) restrict payment of capital distributions and management fees; (b) require that the appropriate federal banking agency monitor the condition of the institution and its efforts to restore its capital; (c) require submission of a capital restoration plan; (d) restrict the growth of the institution’s assets; and (e) require prior approval of certain expansion proposals. The appropriate federal banking agency for an undercapitalized institution also may take any number of discretionary supervisory actions if the agency determines that any of these actions is necessary to resolve the problems of the institution at the least possible long term cost to the deposit insurance fund, subject in certain cases to specified procedures. These discretionary supervisory actions include: (a) requiring the institution to raise additional capital; (b) restricting transactions with affiliates; (c) requiring divestiture of the institution or the sale of the institution to a willing purchaser; and (d) any other supervisory action that the agency deems appropriate. These and additional mandatory and permissive supervisory actions may be taken with respect to significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized institutions.

Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the “Act”) implemented major changes to the statutory framework for providing banking and other financial services in the United States. The Act, among other things, eliminated many of the restrictions on affiliations among banks and securities firms, insurance firms, and other financial service providers. A bank holding company that qualifies as a financial holding company will be permitted to engage in activities that are financial in nature or incident or complimentary to financial activities. The activities that the Act expressly lists as financial in nature include insurance activities, providing financial and investment advisory services, underwriting services and limited merchant banking activities.

To be eligible for these expanded activities, a bank holding company must qualify as a financial holding company. To qualify as a financial holding company, each insured depository institution controlled by the bank holding company must be well-capitalized and well-managed and have a least a satisfactory rating under the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 (See “Community Reinvestment Act” below). In addition, the bank holding company must file with the Federal Reserve a declaration of its intention to become a financial holding company.

Although the Act is considered one of the most significant banking laws since Depression-era statutes were enacted, the act has not, and we do not expect that the act will in the future, materially affect our products, services, or other business activities, nor do we believe that the Act will have a material adverse impact on our operations. To the extent that it allows banks, securities firms, and insurance firms to affiliate, the financial services industry may experience further consolidation. The Act may have the result of increasing competition that we face from larger institutions and other companies offering financial products and services, many of which may have substantially greater financial resources.

Payment of Cash Dividends

Xenith Bankshares is a legal entity, separate and distinct from the Bank. Both the Company and the Bank are subject to laws and regulations that limit the payment of dividends, including requirements to maintain capital at or above regulatory minimums. The Company is organized under the Virginia Stock Corporation Act, which has restrictions prohibiting the payment of dividends if after giving effect to the dividend payment, the Company would not be able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business, or if the Company’s total assets would be less than the sum of its total liabilities plus the amount that would be required, if the Company were to be dissolved, to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of any preferred shareholders.

Consistent with its policy that bank holding companies should serve as a source of financial strength for their subsidiary banks, the Federal Reserve has stated that, as a matter of prudence, the Company generally should not maintain a rate of distributions to shareholders unless our available net income has been sufficient to fully fund the distributions, and the prospective rate of earnings retention appears consistent with the bank holding company’s capital needs, asset quality and overall financial condition. Further, the Federal Reserve issued Supervisory Letter SR 09-4 on February 4, 2009 and revised March 27, 2009, which provides guidance on the declaration and payment of dividends, capital redemptions, and capital repurchases by bank holding company. Supervisory Letter SR 09-4 provides that, as a general matter, a bank holding company should eliminate, defer, or significantly reduce its dividends if: (1) the bank holding company’s net income available to shareholders for the past four quarters, net of dividends previously paid during that period, is not sufficient to fully fund the dividends, (2) the bank holding company’s prospective rate of earnings retention is not consistent with the bank holding company’s capital needs and overall current and prospective financial condition, or (3) the bank holding company will not meet, or is in danger of not meeting, its minimum regulatory capital adequacy ratios. Failure to do so could result in a supervisory finding that the bank holding company is operating in an unsafe and unsound manner.

Banking regulators have indicated that Virginia banking organizations should generally pay dividends only (1) from net undivided profits of the bank, after providing for all expenses, losses, interest and taxes accrued or due by the bank and only (2) if the prospective rate of earnings retention appears consistent with the organization’s capital needs, asset quality and overall financial condition. In particular, under the current supervisory practices of the Federal Reserve Board, prior approval from the Federal Reserve Board and a supermajority of the Bank’s shareholders is required if cash dividends declared in any given year exceed net income for that year plus retained earnings of the two preceding years. In addition, under the FDIA, insured depository institutions such as the Bank are prohibited from making capital distributions, including the payment of dividends, if, after making such distribution, the institution would become “undercapitalized” (as such term is used in the statute).

Under Virginia law, no dividend may be declared or paid out of a bank’s paid-in capital. The Company may be prohibited under Virginia law from the payment of dividends if the Virginia Bureau of Financial Institutions determines that a limitation of dividends is in the public interest and is necessary to ensure our financial soundness, and may also permit the payment of dividends not otherwise allowed by Virginia law.

Certain Acquisitions

The Bank Holding Company Act requires every bank holding company to obtain the prior approval of the Federal Reserve before (i) acquiring more than 5% of the voting stock of any bank or other bank holding company, (ii) acquiring all or substantially all of the assets of any bank or bank holding company, or (iii) merging or consolidating with any other bank holding company.

Additionally, the Bank Holding Company Act provides that the Federal Reserve may not approve any of these transactions if it would result in or tend to create a monopoly or substantially lessen competition or otherwise function as a restraint of trade, unless the anti-competitive effects of the proposed transaction are clearly outweighed by the public interest in meeting the convenience and needs of the community to be served. The Federal Reserve is also required to consider the financial and managerial resources and future prospects of the bank holding companies and banks concerned and the convenience and needs of the community to be served. The Federal Reserve’s consideration of financial resources generally focuses on capital adequacy, which is discussed below. As a result of the Patriot Act, which is also discussed below, the Federal Reserve is required to consider the record of a bank holding company and its subsidiary bank(s) in combating money laundering activities in its evaluation of bank holding company merger or acquisition transactions.

Under the Bank Holding Company Act, if adequately capitalized and adequately managed, any bank holding company located in Virginia may purchase a bank located outside of Virginia. Conversely, an adequately capitalized and adequately managed bank holding company located outside of Virginia may purchase a bank located inside Virginia. In each case, however, restrictions currently exist on the acquisition of a bank that has only been in existence for a limited amount of time or will result in specified concentrations of deposits.

Change in Bank Control

Subject to various exceptions, the Bank Holding Company Act and the Change in Bank Control Act of 1978, together with related regulations, require Federal Reserve approval prior to any person or company acquiring “control” of a bank holding company. Control is conclusively presumed to exist if an individual or company acquires 25% or more of any class of voting securities of the bank holding company. With respect to Xenith Bankshares, control is rebuttably presumed to exist if a person or company acquires 10% or more, but less than 25%, of any class of voting securities.

Sound Banking Practice

Bank holding companies are not permitted to engage in unsound banking practices. For example, the Federal Reserve’s Regulation Y requires a holding company to give the Federal Reserve prior notice of any redemption or repurchase of its own equity securities, if the consideration to be paid, together with the consideration paid for any repurchases in the preceding year, is equal to 10% or more of the company’s consolidated net worth. The Federal Reserve may oppose the transaction if it believes that the transaction would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice or would violate any law or regulation. As another example, a holding company could not impair its subsidiary bank’s soundness by causing it to make funds available to non-banking subsidiaries or their customers if the Federal Reserve believed it not prudent to do so.

The Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 (“FIRREA”) expanded the Federal Reserve’s authority to prohibit activities of bank holding companies and their non-banking subsidiaries which represent unsafe and unsound banking practices or which constitute violations of laws or regulations. FIRREA increased the amount of civil money penalties which the Federal Reserve can assess for activities conducted on a knowing and reckless basis, if those activities caused a substantial loss to a depository institution. The penalties can be as high as $1,000,000 for each day the activity continues. FIRREA also expanded the scope of individuals and entities against which such penalties may be assessed.

Under FIRREA, a depository institution, the deposits of which are insured by the FDIC, can be held liable for any loss incurred by, or reasonably expected to be incurred by, the FDIC in connection with (1) the default of a commonly controlled FDIC-insured depository institution or (2) any assistance provided by the FDIC to any commonly controlled FDIC-insured depository institution “in danger of default.” “Default” is defined generally as the appointment of a conservator or a receiver and “in danger of default” is defined generally as the existence of certain conditions indicating that default is likely to occur in the absence of regulatory assistance. Xenith Bank is an FDIC-insured depository institution, with respect to which BankCap Partners Fund is a bank holding company. BankCap Partners Fund is also a bank holding company for Atlantic Capital Bank, an Atlanta, Georgia based bank. In some circumstances (depending upon the amount of the loss or anticipated loss suffered by the FDIC), cross-guarantee liability may result in the ultimate failure or insolvency of one or more insured depository institutions in a holding company structure. In such event, our shareholders will experience a reduction in the value of the stock owned by them and could experience a complete loss of their investment. Any obligation or liability owed by a subsidiary bank to its parent company is subordinated to the subsidiary bank’s cross-guarantee liability with respect to commonly controlled insured depository institutions.

Anti-Tying Restrictions

Bank holding companies and affiliates are prohibited from tying the provision of services, such as extensions of credit, to other services offered by a holding company or its affiliates.

Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program

On November 21, 2008, the FDIC adopted final regulations implementing the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (the “TLGP”) pursuant to which depository institutions could elect to participate. Pursuant to the TLGP, the FDIC will (i) guarantee, through the earlier of maturity or June 30, 2012, certain newly issued senior unsecured debt issued by participating institutions on or after October 14, 2008 and before June 30, 2009 (the “Debt Guarantee”), and (ii) provide full FDIC deposit insurance coverage for non-interest bearing deposit transaction accounts regardless of dollar amount for an

additional fee assessment by the FDIC (the “Transaction Account Guarantee”). These accounts are mainly payment-processing accounts, such as business payroll accounts. The Transaction Account Guarantee will expire on June 30, 2010. Participating institutions will be assessed a 10 basis point surcharge on the portion of eligible accounts that exceeds the general limit on deposit insurance coverage.

Coverage under the TLGP was available to any eligible institution that did not elect to opt out of the TLGP on or before December 5, 2008. The Bank participates in the Transaction Account Guarantee portion of the TLGP. The Company and the Bank opted out of participating in the Debt Guarantee program.

Standards for Safety and Soundness

The FDIC has established safety and soundness standards applicable to the Bank regarding such matters as internal controls, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest-rate risk exposure, asset growth, compensation and other benefits, and asset quality and earnings. If the Bank were to fail to meet these standards, the FDIC could require it to submit a written compliance plan describing the steps the Bank will take to correct the situation and the time within which such steps will be taken. The FDIC has authority to issue orders to secure adherence to the safety and soundness standards.

Reserve Requirement

Under a regulation promulgated by the Federal Reserve, depository institutions, including the Bank, are required to maintain cash reserves against a stated percentage of their transaction accounts. Effective October 9, 2008, Federal Reserve Banks are now authorized to pay interest on such reserves. The current reserve requirements are as follows:

 

   

for transaction accounts totaling $10.3 million or less, a reserve of 0%; and

 

   

for transaction accounts in excess of $10.3 million up to and including $44.4 million, a reserve of 3%; and

 

   

for transaction accounts totaling in excess of $44.4 million, a reserve requirement of $1.023 million plus 10% of that portion of the total transaction accounts greater than $44.4 million.

 

   

The dollar amounts and percentages reported here are all subject to adjustment by the Federal Reserve. As of December 31, 2009, the Bank had no reserve requirement.

Privacy

Financial institutions are required to disclose their policies for collecting and protecting confidential information. Customers generally may prevent financial institutions from sharing personal financial information with nonaffiliated third parties except for third parties that market the institutions’ own products and services. Additionally, financial institutions generally may not disclose consumer account numbers to any nonaffiliated third party for use in telemarketing, direct mail marketing or other marketing through electronic mail to consumers.

Monetary Policy

Banking is a business that depends on interest rate differentials. In general, the differences between the interest paid by a bank on its deposits and its other borrowings and the interest received by a bank on loans extended to its customers and securities held in its investment portfolio constitute a major portion of earnings. Thus, our earnings and growth will be subject to the influence of economic conditions generally, both domestic and foreign, and also to the monetary and fiscal policies of the United States and its agencies, particularly the Federal Reserve, which regulates the supply of money through various means

including open market transactions in United States government securities. These transactions include the purchase and sale of securities to expand or contract the general liquidity in the financial system. Additionally, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Board establishes a target Federal Fund Rate and the Discount Rate. The actions taken by the Federal Reserve System will dictate the general condition of interest rates in the market place.

The Bank’s earnings are primarily a function of differentials between interest rates. Depending on the Bank’s asset/liability strategy, actions taken by the Federal Reserve may have a positive or negative effect on profitability. We cannot predict the actions of the Federal Reserve, nor can we guarantee that our asset/liability strategy is consistent with action taken by the Federal Reserve.

Community Reinvestment Act

The Community Reinvestment Act requires federal banking regulators to evaluate the record of financial institutions in meeting the credit needs of their local communities, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods, consistent with the safe and sound operation of those institutions. These factors are also considered in evaluating mergers, acquisitions, and applications to open a branch or facility. To the knowledge of management, the Bank is meeting its obligations under this act.

Branch and Interstate Banking

The federal banking agencies are authorized to approve interstate bank merger transactions without regard to whether such transaction is prohibited by the law of any state, unless the home state of one of the banks has opted out of the interstate bank merger provisions of the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 (the “Riegle-Neal Act”) by adopting a law after the date of enactment of the Riegle-Neal Act and prior to June 1, 1997 that applies equally to all out-of-state banks and expressly prohibits merger transactions involving out-of-state banks. Interstate acquisitions of branches are permitted only if the law of the state in which the branch is located permits such acquisitions. Such interstate bank mergers and branch acquisitions are also subject to the nationwide and statewide insured deposit concentration limitations described in the Riegle-Neal Act.

The Riegle-Neal Act authorizes the federal banking agencies to approve interstate branching de novo by national and state banks in states which specifically allow for such branching. Virginia has enacted laws which permit interstate acquisitions of banks and bank branches and permit out-of-state banks to establish de novo branches if the home state of the bank has a reciprocal statute.

Regulatory Enforcement Authority

Federal and state banking law grants substantial enforcement powers to federal and state banking regulators. This enforcement authority includes, among other things, the ability to assess civil money penalties, to issue cease and desist or removal orders and to initiate injunctive actions against banking organizations and institution-affiliated parties. In general, these enforcement actions may be initiated for violations of laws and regulations and unsafe or unsound practices. Other actions or inactions may provide the basis for enforcement action, including misleading or untimely reports filed with regulatory authorities.

Loans to Insiders

The Federal Reserve Act and related regulations impose specific restrictions on loans to directors, executive officers, and principal shareholder of banks. Under Section 22(h) of the Federal Reserve Act, any loan to a director, executive officer or principal shareholder of a bank, or to entities controlled by any of the foregoing, may not exceed, together with all outstanding loans to such persons or entities controlled by such person, the bank’s loan to one borrower limit. Loans in the aggregate to insiders and their related

Table of Contents

interests as a class may not exceed two times the bank’s unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus until the bank’s total assets equal or exceed $100 million, at which time the aggregate is limited to the bank’s unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus. Section 22(h) also prohibits loans above amounts prescribed by the appropriate federal banking agency to directors, executive officers, and principal shareholders of a bank or bank holding company, and to entities controlled by such persons, unless such loans are approved in advance by a majority of the board of directors of the bank with any “interested” director not participating in the voting. Our policy on loans to insiders established a maximum loan amount, which includes all other outstanding loans to such persons, as to which such prior board of director approval is required, of the greater of $25,000 or 5% of capital and surplus (up to $500,000). Section 22(h) requires that loans to directors, executive officers, and principal shareholders be made in terms and underwriting standards substantially the same as offered in comparable transactions to other persons.

USA Patriot Act of 2001

The USA Patriot Act of 2001 (the “Patriot Act”) was enacted in response to the terrorist attacks in New York, Pennsylvania, and Washington, D.C. which occurred on September 11, 2001 and is intended to strengthen the ability of U.S. law enforcement agencies and the intelligence communities to work cohesively to combat terrorism on a variety of fronts. The potential impact of the Patriot Act on financial institutions of all kinds is significant and wide ranging. The Patriot Act contains sweeping anti-money laundering and financial transparency laws and imposes various regulations, including standards for verifying client identification at account opening and rules to promote cooperation among financial institutions, regulators, and law enforcement entities in identifying parties that may be involved in terrorism or money laundering.

Other Regulation

The Bank is subject to a variety of other regulations. State and federal laws restrict interest rates on loans, potentially affecting our income. The Truth in Lending Act and the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act impose information requirements on us in making loans. The Equal Credit Opportunity Act prohibits discrimination in lending on the basis of race, creed, or other prohibited factors. The Fair Credit Reporting Act governs the use and release of information to credit reporting agencies. The Truth in Savings Act requires disclosure of yields and costs of deposits and deposit accounts. Other acts govern confidentiality of consumer financial records, automatic deposits and withdrawals, check settlement, endorsement and presentment, and reporting of cash transactions as required by the Internal Revenue Service.

Future Regulatory Uncertainty

Because federal regulation of financial institutions changes regularly and is the subject of constant legislative debate, we cannot forecast how federal regulation of financial institutions may change in the future and impact our operations. Although Congress in recent years has sought to reduce the regulatory burden on financial institutions with respect to the approval of specific transactions, we fully expect that the our industry will remain heavily regulated in the near future and that additional laws or regulations may be adopted, further regulating specific banking practices.

Item 1A - Risk Factors

The following risk factors should be read carefully in connection with evaluating our business and the forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report. Any of the following risks could materially adversely affect our business, our operating results, our financial condition and the actual outcome of matters as to which forward-looking statements are made in this Annual Report.

The integration of Xenith Corporation and First Bankshares may be more difficult, costly or time-consuming than expected, or could result in the loss of customers.

Until the completion of the Merger on December 22, 2009, Xenith Corporation and First Bankshares operated independently. It is possible that the integration process could result in the loss of key employees, the disruption of ongoing business or inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies that adversely affect our ability to maintain relationships with clients, customers, depositors and employees or to achieve the anticipated benefits of the Merger. Integration efforts between the two companies will also divert management attention and resources. These integration matters could have an adverse effect on Xenith Bankshares for an undetermined period after the completion of the Merger. As with any Merger involving banking institutions, there also may be disruptions that cause us to lose customers or cause customers to withdraw their deposits. There can be no assurance that customers will readily accept changes to their banking arrangements after the completion of the Merger.

Difficult market conditions have adversely affected the banking industry.

Dramatic declines in the housing market over the past several years, with falling home prices and increasing foreclosures, unemployment and under-employment, have negatively impacted the credit performance of real estate related loans and resulted in significant write-downs of asset values by financial institutions. These write-downs, initially of asset-backed securities but spreading to other securities and loans, such as commercial real estate loans, have caused many financial institutions to seek additional capital, to reduce or eliminate dividends, to merge with larger and stronger institutions and, in some cases, to fail. Reflecting concern about the stability of the financial markets generally and the strength of counterparties, many lenders and institutional investors have reduced or ceased providing funding to borrowers, including to other financial institutions. This market turmoil and tightening of credit have led to an increased level of commercial and consumer delinquencies, lack of consumer confidence, increased market volatility and widespread reduction of business activity generally. The resulting economic pressure on consumers and commercial borrowers and lack of confidence in the financial markets has adversely affected our business, financial condition and results of operations. Market developments may affect consumer confidence levels and may cause adverse changes in payment patterns, causing increases in delinquencies and default rates for financial institutions, which may impact charge-offs and provisions for credit and fraud losses. A worsening of these conditions would likely exacerbate the adverse effects of these difficult market conditions on the banking industry and Xenith Bankshares.

The soundness of other financial institutions with which we do business could adversely affect us.

The ability of Xenith Bank to engage in routine funding transactions could be adversely affected by the actions and commercial soundness of other financial institutions. Financial services institutions are interrelated as a result of trading, clearing, counterparty or other relationships. We have exposure to many different industries and counterparties, including counterparties in the financial industry, such as commercial banks and other institutional clients. As a result, defaults by, or even rumors or questions about, one or more financial services institutions, or the financial services industry generally, have led to market-wide liquidity problems and could lead to losses or defaults by us or by other institutions. Many of these transactions will expose us to credit risk in the event of default of a counterparty or client. In addition, this credit risk may be exacerbated when the collateral held by Xenith Bankshares or Xenith Bank cannot be realized upon or is liquidated at prices not sufficient to recover the full amount of the financial instrument exposure due them. There is no assurance that any such losses would not materially and adversely affect our results of operations.

For example, in the normal course of its business, SuffolkFirst Bank purchased various loan participations in loans made by Silverton Bank National Association (“Silverton”) and its subsidiary, Specialty Finance Group, LLC (“SFG”). At December 31, 2009, the total of these loans serviced by Silverton and/or SFG was $16.3 million, or approximately 16% of our total loans. On May 1, 2009, Silverton was closed by the Comptroller of the Currency and the FDIC was appointed as its receiver, charged with the duty of winding up the affairs of Silverton. On May 5, 2009, we were informally advised that SFG remained open for business and intended to continue to service participation agreements in accordance with past practices. In May 2009, ten of SuffolkFirst Bank’s loan participation agreements were with SFG and three were with Silverton. At December 31, 2009, ten of these loans were serviced by SFG and no loans were serviced by Silverton, as Silverton’s interests were purchased by other banks. As of February 2010 the FDIC hired Deutsche Bank to sell a significant portion of SFG’s loan portfolio, of which five of our ten SFG loans are included. There can be no assurance that Silverton’s failure or the possible sale of SFG’s loans will not have an adverse effect on our various loan participations with SFG, which, in turn, could potentially lead to increased provisions for loan losses and otherwise adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.

Because Xenith Bank’s loan portfolio includes a substantial amount of commercial and industrial loans and commercial real estate loans, our earnings are particularly sensitive to the financial and credit risks associated with these types of loans.

The financial and credit risk associated with commercial and industrial loans is a result of several factors, including the concentration of principal in a limited number of loans and borrowers, the size of loan balances, which is generally larger than consumer-type loans, and the effects of general economic conditions. Any significant failure to pay on time by Xenith Bank’s customers or a significant default by Xenith Bank’s customers would hurt our results of operations.

A significant portion of our loan portfolio is secured by income producing property. Our commercial real estate loan portfolio represented approximately 60% of our total loan portfolio as of December 31, 2009. Underwriting and portfolio management activities cannot eliminate all risks related to these loans. Commercial real estate loans will typically be larger than consumer-type loans and may pose higher risks than other types of loans. In addition, it may be more difficult for commercial real estate borrowers to repay their loans in a timely manner in the current economic climate, as commercial real estate borrowers’ abilities to repay their loans frequently depends on the successful development of their properties. In addition, we may incur losses on commercial real estate loans due to declines in occupancy rates and rental rates, which may decrease property values and may decrease the likelihood that a borrower may find permanent financing alternatives. Currently, the availability of permanent financing alternatives in the market has been reduced and has thereby increased the re-financing risks inherent in our loan portfolio.

Table of Contents

In addition to commercial real estate loans that are or will be secured by commercial real estate, our commercial and industrial loans include owner-occupied real estate loans that are secured in part by the value of the real estate. The primary source of repayment for owner-occupied real estate loans is the cash flow produced by the related commercial enterprise, and the value of the real estate is a secondary source of repayment of the loan. Given the continued weaknesses in the commercial real estate market in general, there may be loans where the value of our collateral has been negatively impacted. Additionally, the weakening of the commercial real estate market may increase the likelihood of default of these commercial real estate loans, which would negatively impact loan portfolio performance and potentially negatively impact the results of operations and asset quality. If we are required to liquidate the collateral securing a loan to satisfy the debt during a period of reduced real estate values, our earnings and capital could be adversely affected. In addition, banking regulators are giving greater scrutiny to commercial real estate lending and may require banks with higher levels of commercial real estate loans to implement improved or additional underwriting, internal controls, risk management policies and portfolio stress testing. In banks with certain levels of commercial real estate loan concentrations, regulators are also considering requiring increased levels of reserves for loan losses as well as the need for additional capital. Any of these events could increase our costs, require management time and attention and negatively impact our business.

If the value of assets securing our loans decline materially, the quality of our portfolio could diminish, which could have a material adverse effect on us.

Our loan portfolio contains a significant number of loans that were originated based on values that were higher than values determined under current market conditions. These loans are primarily secured by real estate. Asset quality issues may arise as a result of the general decrease in market values and could cause our interest income and net interest margin to decrease and our provisions for loan losses to increase, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Decisions regarding credit risk could be inaccurate and the allowance for loan losses may be inadequate, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects.

Xenith Bank’s loan portfolio and a very small portion of its investment portfolio exposes it to credit risk. Inherent risks in lending include the business behavior of competitors, fluctuations in interest rates and collateral values, principally real estate, and economic downturns. Making loans will be an essential element of Xenith Bank’s business, and there is a risk that some portion of the loans will not be repaid.

The risk of nonpayment is affected by a number of factors, including:

 

   

the duration of the loan;

 

   

credit risks of a particular borrower;

 

   

changes in economic or industry conditions; and

 

   

in the case of a collateralized loan, risks resulting from uncertainties about the future value of the collateral.

As do all financial institutions, Xenith Bank will maintain an allowance for loan and lease losses and other reserves to absorb the level of losses in its portfolios. However, our reserves may not be sufficient to cover the loan and lease losses that we actually incur. While we maintain a reserve at a level management believes is adequate, our charge-offs could exceed these reserves.

 

17


Table of Contents

As of the Merger date, as required by purchase accounting rules, we recorded SuffolkFirst Bank’s loans at fair value by creating a discount and eliminating the allowance for the loans. However, as we grow the loan portfolio and/or to the extent that the credit losses of the purchased loan portfolio are greater than were believed in our fair value adjustment at the date of the Merger, our earnings will be negatively impacted.

Going forward, we will use two separate methods to manage the loan portfolio: we will assess the discount on the purchased loans and make adjustments based on the performance of this portfolio both in terms of credit and interest rate risks. These two variables will impact how we accrue our discount into income and over what time period. Separately, we will establish an allowance of loan and lease losses that primarily reflects the growth of new loans generated since the Merger date. However, because there is no precise method of predicting loan losses, there is no assurance that our actual losses will not exceed both our discount and allowance estimates. As a result, we will always face the risk that charge-offs in future periods will exceed our reserves and that additional increases in our estimates may be required.

In addition, bank regulatory agencies may require us to establish additional reserves. Additions to the reserves will result in a decrease in net income and capital and could hinder our ability to grow assets.

Commercial real estate lending guidance issued by the federal banking regulators could impact our operations and capital requirements.

The Federal Reserve Board, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the FDIC, along with the other federal banking regulators, issued final guidance on December 6, 2006, entitled “Concentrations in Commercial Real Estate Lending, Sound Risk Management Practices” directed at institutions that have particularly high concentrations of commercial real estate loans within their lending portfolios. This guidance suggests that institutions whose commercial real estate loans exceed certain percentages of capital should implement heightened risk management practices appropriate to their concentration risk and may be required to maintain higher capital ratios than institutions with lower concentrations in commercial real estate lending. Based on our commercial real estate concentration as of December 31, 2009, we are not subject to additional supervisory analysis. We do not anticipate that Xenith Bank’s commercial real estate lending practices will subject it to this guidance. We cannot guarantee that any risk management practices we implement will be effective to prevent losses relating to Xenith Bank’s commercial real estate portfolio. Management will undertake controls to monitor Xenith Bank’s commercial real estate lending, but we cannot predict the extent to which this guidance may impact the future operations or capital requirements of Xenith.

We have unfunded commitments that arise from our normal course of business.

At December 31, 2009, we had $13,794,156 of unfunded commitments that do not show up on our balance sheet. We believe these commitments present no more than normal lending risk and can be funded, if needed, through our normal operations.

We also have exposure in the consumer lending business, including first mortgages, second mortgages, and home equity lines, the preponderance of which is on the primary residences of borrowers in our market.

The current recession has negatively affected the values of real estate in our market, as well as employment in our area. While we have monitored this impact and have set reserves against this portfolio, there can be no assurance that our reserves are enough or that this real estate decline will not continue, which could lead to increased portfolio losses in the future thereby decreasing our net income.

Failure to implement our business strategies may adversely affect our financial performance.

The former directors and executive officers of Xenith Corporation who became directors and executive officers of Xenith Bankshares following the completion of the Merger have developed a business plan that details the strategies they intend to implement for Xenith Bank. If they cannot implement their business strategies, Xenith Bank will be hampered in its ability to maintain and develop business and serve its customers, which could in turn have an adverse effect on our financial performance. Even if their business strategies are successfully implemented, they may not have the favorable impact on operations that they anticipate.

We may not be able to access funding sufficient to support our asset growth.

Our business plan and marketing strategy is based on access to funding from local customer deposits, such as checking and savings accounts and certificates of deposits. Deposit levels may be affected by a number of factors, including rates paid by competitors, general interest rate levels, FDIC insurance costs, returns available to customers on alternative investments and general economic conditions. If local customer deposits are not sufficient to fund Xenith Bank’s asset growth, we will look to outside sources such as advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (the “FHLB”). The FHLB is a secured funding outlet. The ability to access advances from the FHLB will be dependent upon whether and to the extent we can provide collateral. We may also look to brokered deposits as a source of liquidity as discussed immediately below under “—our use of brokered deposits may be limited or discouraged by bank regulators, which could adversely impact our liquidity.”

Our use of brokered deposits may be limited or discouraged by bank regulators, which could adversely impact our liquidity.

Depositors that invest in brokered certificates of deposit are generally interest rate sensitive and well-informed about alternative markets and investments. Consequently, these types of deposits may not provide the same stability to a bank’s deposit base as traditional local retail deposit relationships. In addition, our liquidity may be negatively affected if that funding source experiences supply difficulties due to loss of investor confidence or a flight to other investments. Regulatory developments with respect to wholesale funding, including increased FDIC insurance costs for or limits on the use of these deposits, may further limit the availability of that alternative. In light of regulatory pressure, there may be a cost premium for locally generated certificates of deposit as compared to brokered deposits, which may increase our expenses.

Xenith Bank will rely on short-term funding, which can be adversely affected by local and general economic conditions.

As of December 31, 2009, $25.6 million, or 22.44%, of Xenith Bank’s deposits, consisted of demand, statement savings, money market, and NOW accounts. The $88.5 million remaining balance of deposits includes certificates of deposit, of which approximately $57.5 million, or 50.98% of Xenith Bank’s total deposits, is due to mature within one year. The ability of Xenith Bank to attract and maintain deposits, as well as its cost of funds, has been, and will continue to be significantly affected by money market and general economic conditions. If Xenith Bank increases interest rates paid to retain deposits, its earnings may be adversely affected.

We may not be able to raise additional capital on terms favorable to us or at all.

We may need additional capital to support our business, expand our operations or maintain our minimum capital requirements. However, we may not be able to raise additional funds through the issuance of additional shares of our common stock or other securities. Furthermore, the significant amount of our common stock that BankCap Partners Fund owns may discourage other potential investors

from offering to acquire newly issued shares. Even if we are able to obtain capital through the issuance of additional shares of our common stock or other securities, the sale of these additional shares could significantly dilute the ownership interest of then existing shareholders. In addition, the holders of warrants and options for our common stock could exercise them when we could otherwise obtain capital by offering additional securities on terms more favorable to it than those provided by the warrants and options.

Failure to manage expansion may adversely affect our financial performance.

Our ability to offer products and services and implement our business plan successfully in a highly competitive market requires an effective planning and management process. Future expansion efforts, internally or through acquisitions, could be expensive and put a strain on our management, financial, operational, and technical resources. We also expect to hire a number of new employees. To manage growth effectively, we will likely have to enhance financial and accounting systems and controls, as well as integrate new personnel and manage expanded operations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to effectively manage our expanding operations. If we are unable to manage growth, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Our business is dependent on technology and an inability to invest in technological improvements or obtain reliable technological support may adversely affect our results of operation and financial condition.

The financial services industry is undergoing rapid technological changes with frequent introductions of new technology-driven products and services. In addition to better serving customers, the effective use of technology increases efficiency and enables financial institutions to reduce costs. Our ability to grow and compete will depend in part upon the ability to address the needs of customers by using technology to provide products and services that will satisfy their operational needs, while managing the costs of expanding our technology infrastructure. Many competitors have substantially greater resources to invest in technological improvements and third-party support. There can be no assurance that we will be able to effectively implement new technology-driven products and services or be successful in marketing these products and services to our customers. For the foreseeable future, we expect to rely on third-party service providers and on other third parties for services and technical support. If those products and services become unreliable or fail, the adverse impact on customer relationships and operations could be material.

Fluctuations in interest rates could reduce our profitability as we expect to realize income primarily from the difference between interest earned on loans and investments and interest paid on deposits and borrowings of Xenith Bank.

We will depend on Xenith Bank for income. Xenith Bank’s earnings are significantly dependent on its net interest income, as Xenith Bank is expected to realize income primarily from the difference between interest earned on loans and investments and the interest paid on deposits and borrowings. Xenith Bank will experience “gaps” in the interest rate sensitivities of its assets and liabilities, meaning that either its interest-bearing liabilities will be more sensitive to changes in market interest rates than its interest-earning assets, or vice versa. In either event, if market interest rates should move contrary to Xenith Bank’s position, this “gap” may work against Xenith Bank, negatively affecting our earnings. We are not able to predict fluctuations of market interest rates, which are affected by many factors, including inflation, recession, rising in unemployment, tightening money supply, and disorder and instability in domestic and foreign financial markets. Although we have designed our asset-liability management strategy to mitigate our risk from changes in market interest rates, we may not be able to prevent changes in interest rates from having a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

We will face intense competition in our target markets.

The financial services industry, including commercial banking, mortgage banking, consumer lending and home equity lending, is highly competitive, and we have encountered, and will continue to encounter, strong competition for deposits, loans and other financial services in our target markets in each of our lines of business. Xenith Bank’s principal competitors are other commercial banks in its target markets. However, additional competition is and will continue to be provided by savings banks, savings and loan associations, mutual funds, money market funds, finance companies, trust companies, insurers, leasing companies, credit unions and mortgage companies with respect to some of Xenith Bank’s products and services. Many of Xenith Bank’s non-bank competitors are not subject to the same degree of regulation as Xenith Bank is and have advantages over it in providing certain services. Many of Xenith Bank’s competitors are significantly larger than Xenith Bank and have greater access to capital and other resources, higher lending limits and larger branch networks. Xenith Bank has opened a branch in Richmond, Virginia and anticipates opening a branch in Tysons Corner in Northern Virginia in the second or third quarter of 2010. SuffolkFirst Bank did not have branches in Richmond or Tysons Corner and, as such, Xenith Bank will not be able to build from a pre-existing customer base in either of these markets. To expand into Richmond and Tysons Corner, Xenith Bank will have to compete successfully against banks with established businesses, relationships, and reputations in those markets. There is no assurance that Xenith Bank will be able to do so.

Xenith Bank may become subject to significant liabilities in the event it forecloses on or takes title to real property.

When underwriting a commercial real estate loan, Xenith Bank will generally take a lien on the commercial real estate and, in some instances upon a default by the borrower, Xenith Bank may foreclose on and take title to the property, which may lead to potential financial risk for us under applicable environmental laws. Many environmental laws can impose liability regardless of whether Xenith Bank knew of, or was responsible for, any contamination of property upon which it may foreclose.

An economic downturn or recession, especially one affecting the target markets of Xenith Bank, may have an adverse effect on its financial performance.

General economic conditions impact the banking industry. Delinquencies and credit losses in the financial services industry generally increase during economic downturns or recessions. Likewise, loan demand may decline during an economic downturn or recession. Accordingly, an economic downturn or recession, either local or national, could adversely affect the financial performance of Xenith Bank as customers default on their loans with Xenith Bank or carry lower balances. Unlike many of its larger competitors, the majority of Xenith Bank middle-market businesses and individuals are located or doing business in the target markets of Xenith Bank. As a result, the operations and profitability of Xenith Bank may be more adversely affected by a local economic downturn or recession than those of larger, more geographically diverse competitors. Factors that adversely affect the economy in the target markets of Xenith Bank could reduce its deposit base and demand for products and services, which may decrease earnings. An adverse change in the local economy could make it more difficult for borrowers to repay their loans, which could lead to loan losses for Xenith Bank.

Xenith Bank will depend on the accuracy and completeness of information about customers and counterparties.

In deciding whether to extend credit or enter into other transactions, Xenith Bank may rely on information furnished by or on behalf of its customers and counterparties, including financial statements, credit reports and other financial information. Xenith Bank may also rely on representations of those customers, counterparties or other third parties, such as independent auditors, as to the accuracy and completeness of that information. Reliance on inaccurate or misleading financial statements, credit reports or other financial information could have a material adverse impact on business and, in turn, results of operation and financial condition.

Consumers and businesses may decide not to use banks to complete their financial transactions.

Technology and other changes are allowing parties to complete financial transactions that historically have involved banks through alternative methods. The possibility of eliminating banks as intermediaries could result in the loss of interest and fee income, as well as the loss of customer deposits and the related income generated from those deposits. The loss of these revenue streams and the lower cost deposits as a source of funds could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations and financial condition of Xenith Bank.

We are dependent on our key personnel, including our executive officers and directors, and the loss of such persons may adversely affect our operations and financial performance.

We will be for the foreseeable future dependent on the services of Mr. Layfield, who is our President and Chief Executive Officer; Mr. Osgood, who is our Chief Financial Officer and Chief Administrative Officer; and Messrs. Cottrell, Davis and O’Flaherty. Should the services of these individuals or other key executives become unavailable, there can be no assurance that a suitable successor could be found who would be willing to be employed upon the terms and conditions that we would offer. A failure to replace any of these individuals promptly could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial performance. Additionally, the community involvement, diverse backgrounds, and extensive local business relationships of the individuals who serve as directors of Xenith Bankshares will be important to our success. If the composition of our Board of Directors were to change materially, our banking business may suffer.

System failure or breaches of our network security could lead to increased operating costs as well as litigation and other liabilities.

The computer systems and network infrastructure that we use could be vulnerable to unforeseen problems. Our operations are dependent in part upon our ability to protect our computer equipment against damage from fire, power loss, telecommunications failure or a similar catastrophic event. Any damage or failure that causes an interruption in operations could have an adverse effect on customers. In addition, we must be able to protect the computer systems and network infrastructure utilized by us against physical damage, security breaches and service disruption caused by the Internet or other users. Such computer break-ins and other disruptions would jeopardize the security of information stored in and transmitted through our computer systems and network infrastructure, which may result in significant liability to us and deter potential customers.

We are subject to extensive regulation in the conduct of their business operations, which could adversely affect our financial results.

The banking industry is heavily regulated. Banking regulations are primarily intended to protect the federal deposit insurance funds and depositors, not shareholders. These regulations affect lending practices, capital structure, investment practices, dividend policy and growth, among other things. For example, federal and state consumer protection laws and regulations will limit the manner in which Xenith Bank may offer and extend credit. From time to time, the U.S. Congress and state legislatures consider changing these laws and may enact new laws or amend existing laws to further regulate the financial services industry. Changes to statutes, regulations or regulatory policies, including changes in interpretation or implementation of statutes, regulations or policies, could affect us in substantial and unpredictable ways. Such changes could subject us to additional costs, limit the types of financial services and products we may offer and/or increase the ability of non-banks to offer competing financial services and products, among other things. Failure to comply with laws, regulations or policies could result in

sanctions by regulatory agencies, civil money penalties and/or reputation damage, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the laws governing bankruptcy generally favor debtors, making it more expensive or more difficult to collect from customers who have declared bankruptcy.

BankCap Partners Fund is a bank holding company that is deemed to be a multi-bank holding company for two institutions.

Under the Federal Reserve Board guidelines, every bank holding company must serve as a “source of strength” for each of their bank subsidiaries. In addition, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Act of 1991 requires that an insured depository institution shall be liable for the loss incurred or anticipated by the FDIC arising from the default of a commonly controlled insured depository institution or any assistance provided by the FDIC to any commonly controlled insured depository institution in danger of default. Currently, BankCap Partners Fund is deemed a bank holding company for Atlantic Capital Bank, an Atlanta, Georgia-based bank, and Xenith Bank. The position of BankCap Partners Fund as a source of strength to other depository institutions may limit its ability to serve as a source of strength for Xenith Bank and could adversely affect Xenith Bank’s ability to access resources of BankCap Partners Fund. Federal bank regulatory agencies have additional discretion to require a bank holding company to divest itself of any bank or non-bank subsidiary if the agency determines that divestiture may aid the depository institution’s financial condition.

Xenith Bank may be obligated to provide financial assistance to any other financial institution as to which BankCap Partners Fund is deemed to be a bank holding company.

A bank for which BankCap Partners Fund is deemed to be a bank holding company may be required to indemnify, or cross-guarantee, the FDIC against losses the FDIC incurs with respect to any other bank controlled by BankCap Partners Fund. Accordingly, Xenith Bank may be obligated to provide financial assistance to Atlantic Capital Bank or any other financial institution regarding which BankCap Partners Fund is deemed to be a bank holding company. Any financial assistance that Xenith Bank has to provide could reduce our capital.

We have not paid any dividends since our inception. We do not intend to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. As discussed in Part I, Item 1, “Business — Supervision and Regulation – Payment of Cash Dividends,” state and federal laws and regulations limit the amount of dividends that we may pay. Further, even if we have earnings in an amount sufficient to pay dividends, our board of directors may decide to retain earnings for the purposes of financing growth. No assurance can be given that our earnings, if any, will ever permit the payment of dividends to our shareholders.

Effect of the Merger

Effective December 22, 2009, First Bankshares and Xenith Corporation completed the merger of Xenith Corporation with and into First Bankshares (the “Merger”), with First Bankshares being the surviving entity in the Merger. At the effective time of the Merger, First Bankshares amended its articles of incorporation to, among other things, change its name to Xenith Bankshares, Inc. In addition, following the completion of the Merger, SuffolkFirst Bank changed its name to Xenith Bank.

Although the Merger was structured as a merger of Xenith Corporation with and into First Bankshares, with First Bankshares being the surviving entity for legal purposes, Xenith Corporation was treated as the acquirer for accounting purposes. As the Merger was completed on December 22, 2009, this Annual Report reflects the operations of Xenith Bankshares (formerly First Bankshares, Inc. and its subsidiary SuffolkFirst Bank) prior to the Merger. This Annual Report also reflects the post-Merger operations of the consolidated entity for the period from December 22, 2009 through December 31, 2009

Results of Operations

Overview

The primary source of our revenue is net interest income, which represents the difference between interest income on earning assets and interest expense on liabilities used to fund those assets. Earning assets include loans, securities, and federal funds sold. Interest-bearing liabilities include deposits and borrowings. Sources of noninterest income include service charges on deposit accounts, gains on the sale of securities, and other miscellaneous income.

For the period January 1, 2009 through December 22, 2009 and the year ended December 31, 2008 our net loss was $4,306,961, compared to net income of $245,138 in 2008. Our net income and per share income have declined as indicated in the following table (see page 56 for per share calculations):

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is affected by changes in interest rates, the volume of interest-bearing assets and liabilities, and the composition of those assets and liabilities. Management strives to maximize net interest income through prudent balance sheet administration, while maintaining appropriate risk levels as determined by senior management with the oversight of our board of directors. The “net interest margin” is a commonly utilized statistic related to changes in interest income. The net interest margin is defined as the percentage of net interest income to average earning assets. Net interest income for the period January 1, 2009 through December 22, 2009 was $4,445,047. By comparison, net interest income for 2008 was $4,245,611. The net interest margin at December 31, 2009 was 2.82% a slight decline from the 2.84% at December 31, 2008.

The following table, “Average Balances, Interest Income/Expenses, and Average Yield/Rates,” provides a detailed analysis of the effective yields and rates on interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities for the periods indicated. The average balances and other statistical data used in this table were calculated using daily average balances.

[2] Nonaccrual loans have been included in the average balances. Only the interest collected on such loans has been included as income.
[3] Interest rate spread is the average yield earned on interest-earning assets, less the average rate incurred on interest-bearing liabilities.
[4] Net interest income is interest income on average interest-earning assets, less interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities.
[5] Net interest margin is net interest income, expressed as a percentage of average earning assets.

Noninterest Income

The primary decrease in noninterest income for the period January 1, 2009 through December 22, 2009 compared to the year ended December 31, 2008 was due to $48,000 decrease in service charges on deposits, $32,000 decrease in gain on sale of investments and reduced dividend income of $150,000 related to Federal Reserve Bank Stock and Federal Home Loan Bank Stock.

Noninterest Expense

The majority of the increase in noninterest expense components was related to salaries and employee benefits, which increased from $2,145,123 in 2008 to $2,495,355 for the period ended December 22, 2009. The increase from 2008 to December 22, 2009 can be attributed to Merger-related compensation. Other significant expenses include FDIC assessments of $247,934; increased data processing expenses, from $130,318 in 2008 to $284,935 for the period ended December 22, 2009; and increased professional fees, from $197,597 in 2008 to $1,710,727 for the period ended December 22, 2009, due to Merger-related expenses.

A certain degree of risk is inherent in the extension of credit. Management has established loan and credit policies designed to control both the types and amounts of risks we take and to minimize losses. Such policies include limits on loan-to-collateral ratios for each type of loan, requirements for appraisals of real estate collateral, problem loan management practices and collection procedures, and nonaccrual and charge-off guidelines.

Commercial loans primarily represent loans made to businesses and may be made on either a secured or an unsecured basis. When taken, collateral consists of liens on receivables, equipment, inventories, furniture, and fixtures. Unsecured business loans are generally short-term with an emphasis on repayment strengths and low debt-to-worth ratios. Commercial lending involves significant risk because repayment usually depends on the cash flows generated by a borrower’s business, and the debt service capacity of a business can deteriorate as a result of downturns in national and local economic conditions. To control risk, initial and continuing analysis of a borrower’s financial information is required.

Real estate residential construction loans generally consist of financing the construction of 1-4 family dwellings. As of December 31, 2009, real estate residential construction loans totaled $170,000.

Loans secured by real estate comprised 88.5% of our loan portfolio at December 31, 2009 and 83.67% at December 31, 2008. Residential real estate loans consist primarily of first and second mortgage loans on single family homes. Loan-to-value ratios for these loans are generally limited to 90%. Nonfarm, nonresidential loans are secured by business and commercial properties with loan-to-value ratios generally limited to 80%. The repayment of both residential and commercial real estate loans depends primarily on the income and cash flows of the borrowers, with the real estate serving as a secondary or liquidation source of repayment.

Allowance for Loan Losses

Management determines the Allowance for Loan Losses based on an ongoing evaluation of the loan portfolio. This evaluation is a combination of quantitative and qualitative analysis. Quantitative factors include loss history for varying types of loans that we incur in our portfolio as well as loss history form banks across the country often assimilated by regulatory agencies and other banking industry groups. Qualitative factors are many and include, among other things, the amounts and timing of borrower cash flows as well as the ultimate value upon disposition of collateral when applicable. These quantitative and qualitative factors and estimates may be subject to significant change. Increases to the Allowance for Loan Losses are made by charges to the provision for loan losses, which is reflected on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the Allowance for Loan Losses, and recoveries of previously charged-off amounts are credited to the Allowance for Loan Losses.

The Allowance for Loan Losses consists of (1) a component for individual loan impairment recognized and measured pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 310, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, and (2) components of collective loan impairment recognized pursuant to Topic 450, Accounting for Contingencies. We maintain specific reserves for individually impaired loans pursuant to Topic 310. A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due (interest as well as principal) according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. On a quarterly basis, management reviews all commercial and consumer relationships that have been classified as substandard or doubtful. Loans are considered impaired when the borrower does not have the cash flow capacity or willingness to service the debt according to contractual terms, or it does not appear reasonable to assume the borrower will continue to pay according to the contractual agreement. At December 31, 2009, the Bank had $7,710,500 of impaired loans with a fair value of $4,557,471, or 7.03% of total loans, compared to $676,566 of impaired loans, or 0.58% of total loans, at December 31, 2008.

Reserves established pursuant to the provisions of Topic 450 on collective loan impairment are primarily based on historical charge-off experience. However, reserves may be adjusted to reflect the effects of current conditions. The Bank considers information derived from its loan risk ratings; internal observable data related to trends within the loan portfolio, including credit quality and concentrations, aging of the portfolio, and external observable data related to industry and general economic trends; and any significant, relevant changes to the Bank’s policies and procedures. Each loan is assigned a “risk grade” at origination. Our risk grades are based on our assessment of our borrower’s financial capacity and collateral quality in relation to its ability to meet contractual obligations under a loan agreement.

Although management uses various data and information sources to establish the Allowance for Loan Losses, future adjustments to the Allowance for Loan Losses may be necessary if economic conditions are substantially different from the assumptions used in making the valuations.

At December 22, 2009, prior to the Merger, the Allowance for Loan Losses stood at $6,700,000 and reflected an expense of $5,500,646. At December 31, 2009, post Merger, the Allowance for Loan Losses was reduced to zero as a result of purchase accounting. We will begin to establish a reserve for loan losses as necessary on the new loans added to our loan portfolio.

The Allowance for Loan Losses is primarily determined by management’s estimate of possible losses that are inherent in the portfolio as of the balance sheet date and is also guided by management’s analysis of economic conditions.

Nonperforming Loans

It is our policy to discontinue accrual of interest income when a loan is 90 days past due as to interest and principal or when there is serious doubt as to collectability, unless the estimated net realized value of collateral is sufficient to assure collection of principal balance and accrued interest.

As of December 31, 2009, management identified $7.1 million in nonperforming loans with a fair value of $4.1 million, which represents 4.05% of total outstanding loans. As of December 31, 2008, management recognized $676,566 in total nonperforming loans, which represented 0.58% of total outstanding loans as of that date. Nonperforming loans included $87,831 in nonaccrual interest as of December 31, 2009 and $48,879 in nonaccrual interest as of December 31, 2008. The majority of this increase is contained in our commercial real estate portfolio, primarily in the Silverton/SFG participations.

Management believes the significant increase in nonperforming assets is a combination of several factors, including the recession and the decline in real estate values.

Other Real Estate Owned

At December 31, 2009, the Bank had $463,700 in other real estate owned (“OREO”), representing one single-family residence, compared to no other real estate owned at December 31, 2008. Our OREO policy is to initially record value at the lower of net loan principal balance or estimated fair market value less estimated selling costs. The estimated fair value is determined by appraisal at the time of acquisition.

Deposits

Deposits represent the primary source of funds and are comprised of demand deposits, savings deposits, and time deposits. Deposits at December 31, 2009 totaled $114,147,634, compared to deposits of $130,284,637 as of December 31, 2008 a 12.39% decrease. The overall change in deposits is represented by an increase in demand and savings accounts of $1,970,662 and a decrease in time deposits of $18,107,665. This decline in deposits is attributed to decreased loan demand in 2009.

The following table presents the average balances and rates paid, by deposit category, as of December 31, 2009 and 2008:

Capital Adequacy

Capital management in a regulated financial services industry must properly balance return on equity to shareholders while maintaining sufficient capital levels and related risk-based capital ratios to satisfy regulatory requirements. The Bank’s capital management strategies have been developed to maintain its “well-capitalized” position. Total capital at December 31, 2009 of $54,072,033 included $68,154 in comprehensive income.

We are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal and other bank regulators. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can trigger certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material adverse effect on our financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, we must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. 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 us to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier 1 capital to average assets. As of December 31, 2009, we had met all minimum capital adequacy requirements to which we are subject and are categorized as “well-capitalized.” Since December 31, 2009, there are no conditions or events that management believes have changed our status as “well-capitalized”.

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 in other short-term intervals in the normal operation of business. Historical trends help management predict the amount of cash required. In assessing liquidity, management gives consideration to relevant factors including stability of deposits, quality of assets, economy of market served, concentrations of business and industry, competition, and our overall financial condition. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash, due from banks, federal funds sold, and securities in our available-for-sale portfolio. We also have access to substantial lines of credit from our correspondent banks, in addition to an arrangement to borrow from the Federal Home Loan Bank in aggregate of 30% of total assets and from the Federal Reserve under certain conditions. Theses credit lines are available through our correspondent banks for short term liquidity needs and are subject to prevailing interest rates. In management’s opinion, we maintain the ability to generate sufficient amounts of cash to cover normal requirements and any additional needs which may arise, within realistic limitations, for the foreseeable future.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

Financial institutions can be exposed to several market risks which may impact the value or future earnings capacity of an organization. Our primary market risk is interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is inherent in banking because as a financial institution, we derive a significant amount of the operating revenue from “purchasing” funds (customer deposits and borrowings) at various terms and rates. These funds are invested into earning assets (loans, investments, etc.) at various terms and rates.

Interest rate risk is the exposure to fluctuations in our future earnings (earnings at risk) and value (market value at risk) resulting from changes in interest rates. This exposure results from differences between the amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities that re-price within a specific time period as a result of scheduled maturities and repayment and contractual interest rate changes.

The asset/liability goal of the Bank is to optimally manage net interest margin while not exceeding policy limits. The balance sheet may be asset or liability sensitive at a given time. The bank’s asset or liability sensitivity will be managed to maximize earnings and to minimize interest rate risk within policy limits.

Management strives to control the Bank’s exposure to interest rate volatility, and we operate under an Asset and Liability Management Policy approved by our Board of Directors. In addition, we emphasize the loan and deposit pricing characteristics that best meet our current view on the future direction of interest rates and use sophisticate analytical tools to support our asset and liability processes.

Gap Analysis

Gap analysis tools monitor the “gap” between interest-sensitive assets and interest-sensitive liabilities. The Bank uses a simulation model to forecast future balance sheet and income statement behavior. By studying the effects on net interest income of rising, stable, and falling interest rate scenarios, the Bank can position itself to take advantage of anticipated interest rate movements by understanding the dynamic nature of its balance sheet components. We evaluate our securities, loan, and deposit portfolios to manage our interest rate risk position.

The following table, “Gap Report,” indicates that, on a cumulative basis through the next 12 months, the Company reflects rate-sensitive assets exceeding rate-sensitive liabilities, resulting in an asset-sensitive position at December 31, 2009 of $6.1 million. This net asset-sensitive position was a result of $73.2 million in rate-sensitive assets being available for re-pricing during the next 12 months and $67.1 million in rate-sensitive liabilities being available for re-pricing during the next 12 months, which reflects a cumulative positive gap of $6.1 million. Our gap position at December 31, 2009 is considered by management to be favorable in a flat to increasing interest rate environment. A negative interest sensitivity gap results when interest-sensitive liabilities exceed interest-sensitive assets for a specific re-pricing “horizon.” The gap is positive when interest-sensitive assets exceed interest-sensitive liabilities. For a bank with a positive gap, rising interest rates would be expected to have a positive effect on net interest income and falling rates would be expected to have the opposite effect. The following table reflects the balances of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities at the earlier of their re-pricing or maturity dates. Amounts of fixed-rate loans are reflected at the earlier of their contractual maturity date or their contractual re-pricing date. Time deposits are reflected at the deposits’ maturity dates. Borrowed funds are reflected in the earliest contractual re-pricing interval due to the immediately available nature of these funds. Interest-bearing liabilities with no contractual maturity, such as interest-bearing transaction accounts and savings deposits, are reflected in the earliest re-pricing interval due to contractual arrangements which give management the opportunity to vary the rates paid on these deposits within a 30 day or shorter period.

Critical Accounting Policies

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Our reporting policies are in accordance with generally accepted accounting policies of the United States of America. Certain critical accounting policies affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements. The Bank’s single most critical accounting policy relates to the Allowance for Loan Losses, which reflects the estimated losses resulting from the inability of our borrowers to make required loan payments. If the financial condition of the Bank’s borrowers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, adjustments to the Bank’s estimates would be made and additional provisions for loan losses could be required. Further discussion of the estimates used in determining the Allowance for Loan Losses is contained in the discussion under “Allowance for Loan Losses” above.

Recent accounting pronouncements affecting us are described in Note 21 of the Notes to Financial Statements included in Item 8.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors

Xenith Bankshares, Inc. (the “Company”)

Richmond, Virginia

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Xenith Bankshares, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2009 and First Bankshares, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows of Xenith Bankshares, Inc. and subsidiary for the year ended December 31, 2009 and First Bankshares, Inc. and subsidiary for the period January 1, 2009 through December 22, 2009 and for the year ended December 31, 2008. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Xenith Bankshares, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2009 and First Bankshares, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2008, and the results of operations and cash flows of Xenith Bankshares, Inc. and subsidiary for the year ended December 31, 2009 and First Bankshares, Inc. and subsidiary for the period January 1, 2009 through December 22, 2009 and for the year ended December 31, 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors

Xenith Bank [In Organization]

We have audited the accompanying Balance Sheet of Xenith Bank [In Organization] as of December 31, 2008, and the related Statements of Income, Owners’ Equity and Cash Flows for the period from February 19, 2008 (Inception) to December 31, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Xenith Bank [In Organization] at December 31, 2008 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from February 19, 2008 (Inception) to December 31, 2008 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying financial statements for the period from February 19, 2008 (Inception) to December 31, 2008, have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements (not included in the accompanying 2009 financial statements), the Company’s losses from Inception and current inability to obtain sufficient commitments for additional financing to support planned principal operations raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters are also discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Xenith Bankshares, Inc. and Subsidiary

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008

Note 1 - Organization

SuffolkFirst Bank was incorporated on December 14, 2001, chartered on December 10, 2002 and began operations on January 27, 2003 as a Virginia chartered bank engaged in lending and deposit-collecting activities in Suffolk, Virginia. On February 23, 2008, SuffolkFirst Bank’s Board of Directors announced the approval of the formation of a bank holding company, First Bankshares, Inc. (“First Bankshares”), which was incorporated in Virginia on March 4, 2008 and of which SuffolkFirst Bank became a wholly owned subsidiary on August 15, 2008. The reorganization was consummated through a share exchange in which each of SuffolkFirst Bank’s shareholders received one share of First Bankshares common stock in exchange for each of their shares of SuffolkFirst Bank’s common stock. SuffolkFirst Bank operates under the laws of Virginia and the Rules and Regulations of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”).

Effective December 22, 2009, First Bankshares and Xenith Corporation, a Virginia corporation, completed the merger of Xenith Corporation with and into First Bankshares (the “Merger”), with First Bankshares being the surviving entity in the Merger. The Merger was completed in accordance with the terms of the Agreement of Merger and related Plan of Merger, dated as of May 12, 2009 and as amended by Amendment No. 1, dated as of August 14, 2009, Amendment No. 2, dated as of October 15, 2009, Amendment No. 3, dated as of October 30, 2009, and Amendment No. 4, dated as of November 19, 2009 (collectively, the “Merger Agreement”), between First Bankshares and Xenith Corporation. At the effective time of the Merger, First Bankshares amended its articles of incorporation to, among other things, change its name to Xenith Bankshares, Inc. (“Xenith Bankshares”). In addition, following the completion of the Merger, SuffolkFirst Bank changed its name to Xenith Bank.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, First Bankshares shareholders were entitled to elect to retain their shares of First Bankshares common stock or to receive $9.23 in cash per share for some or all of their shares of First Bankshares common stock, subject to proration in the event the aggregate cash elections exceeded 569,074 shares (or 25% of shares outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger) (the “Cash Election Number”). As of 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on October 15, 2009, the deadline for First Bankshares shareholders to elect to receive cash for some or all of their shares of First Bankshares common stock, First Bankshares had received aggregate cash elections with respect to 1,165,311 shares of First Bankshares common stock, representing approximately 51.2% of the shares of First Bankshares common stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger.

Because aggregate cash elections exceeded the Cash Election Number, the cash elections were reduced proportionally. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, a number of cash election shares held by each First Bankshares shareholder who made a cash election equal to the product of (1) 0.488345171 (or the Cash Election Number divided by the total number of cash election shares) and (2) the total number of cash election shares held by such shareholder was converted into the right to receive $9.23 in cash (with any resulting fractional shares rounded down to the next whole share). Each cash election share that was not converted into the right to receive $9.23 in cash and each share of First Bankshares common stock for which a cash election was not made represented one share of Xenith Bankshares common stock immediately following the effective time of the Merger.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each share of Xenith Corporation common stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, was cancelled and converted automatically into the right to receive 0.8700 shares of validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Xenith Bankshares common stock (the “Exchange Ratio”). Based on the Exchange Ratio, an aggregate of 4,139,704 shares of Xenith Bankshares common stock were issued to the former shareholders of Xenith Corporation in exchange for their shares of Xenith Corporation common stock. All fractional shares of Xenith Bankshares common stock that a Xenith Corporation shareholder would otherwise have been entitled to receive as a result of the Merger were aggregated and, if a fractional share resulted from such aggregation, such holder received, instead of the fractional share, an amount in cash equal to $9.23 multiplied by the fraction of a share of Xenith Bankshares common stock to which such holder would otherwise have been entitled.

Options to purchase shares of First Bankshares common stock outstanding at the effective time of the Merger remain outstanding as options to purchase shares of Xenith Bankshares common stock. An aggregate of 906,000 options and warrants to purchase shares of Xenith Corporation’s common stock outstanding at the effective time of the Merger were converted into an aggregate of 788,220 options and warrants to purchase shares of Xenith Bankshares common stock based on the Exchange Ratio at an exercise price of $11.49 per share.

Based on the foregoing and the fact that there were an aggregate of 2,276,298 shares of First Bankshares common stock and an aggregate of 94,493 options to purchase shares of First Bankshares common stock outstanding at the effective time of the Merger, there were an aggregate of 5,846,928 shares of Xenith Bankshares common stock outstanding immediately following the effective time of the Merger, with First Bankshares shareholders immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger beneficially owning approximately 26.8% of the combined company’s outstanding shares of common stock and Xenith Corporation shareholders immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger beneficially owning approximately 73.2% of the combined company’s outstanding shares of common stock, on a fully diluted basis.

Unless otherwise stated herein or the context otherwise requires, references herein to “the Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” at and for the year ended December 31, 2008 and the period from January 1, 2009 through December 22, 2009 are to First Bankshares and its wholly-owned subsidiary, SuffolkFirst Bank, and references to “the Bank” are to SuffolkFirst Bank. Unless otherwise stated herein or the context otherwise requires, references herein to “the Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” at and for the year ended December 31, 2009 are to Xenith Bankshares and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Xenith Bank, and references to “the Bank” are to Xenith Bank.

Xenith Bankshares, through Xenith Bank, operates four full-service branches: one in Richmond, Virginia and three in Suffolk, Virginia. Xenith Bank continues to do business as SuffolkFirst Bank at its existing locations in Suffolk, Virginia.

Although the Merger was structured as a merger of Xenith Corporation with and into First Bankshares, with First Bankshares being the surviving entity for legal purposes, Xenith Corporation was treated as the acquirer for accounting purposes. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of First Bankshares were recorded at their fair value on December 22, 2009. See Note 2 for further details.

From its inception on February 19, 2008 until the completion of the Merger on December 22, 2009, Xenith Corporation (formerly Xenith Bank [In Organization]) had no substantial operations. Accordingly, since Xenith Corporation’s operating activities prior to the Merger were insignificant relative to those of First Bankshares, management believes that First Bankshares is the Company’s predecessor. However, as mentioned above, Xenith Corporation is treated as the acquirer for accounting purposes. Management has reached this conclusion based upon an evaluation of facts and circumstances, including the historical life of First Bankshares, the historical level of operations of First Bankshares, the purchase price paid for First Bankshares and the fact that the consolidated company’s operations, revenues and expenses after the Merger are most similar in all respects to those of First Bankshares’ historical periods. Accordingly, the consolidated balance sheets of First Bankshares as of December 31, 2008, the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive

income of First Bankshares for the period ended December 22, 2009 and the year ended December 31, 2008, the consolidated statements of cash flows of First Bankshares for the period ended December 22, 2009 and the year ended December 31, 2008 and changes in shareholders’ equity at December 22, 2009 have been presented. However, due to the adjustments to the basis of assets and liabilities as a result of the acquisition method of accounting, the financial statements of the successor and predecessor are not directly comparable.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and conform to the general practices within the banking industry. The following is a description of the significant accounting and reporting policies the Company follows in preparing and presenting its financial statements.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Xenith Bankshares and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Xenith Bank. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities, or maturities when purchased, of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include cash, due from banks, federal funds sold, and short term debt securities.

Securities

Marketable securities of the Bank are classified into three categories:

 

  (1) debt securities that the Bank has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as “held-to-maturity securities” and reported at amortized cost. Amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts are adjusted on a basis which approximates the level yield method;

 

  (2) debt and equity securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as “trading securities” and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in net income; and

 

  (3) debt and equity securities not classified as either held-to-maturity securities or trading securities are classified as “available-for-sale securities” and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from net income and reported in a separate component of shareholders’ equity.

The Bank does not engage in trading securities or in held-to-maturity securities. Gains or losses on disposition of securities are based on the net proceeds and adjusted carrying values of the securities called or sold, using the specific identification method.

A decline in the market value of any available-for-sale security below cost that is deemed other than temporary is charged to net income, resulting in the establishment of a new cost basis for the security.

Equity Securities Restricted

As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (the “FHLB”), the Bank is required to own shares of FHLB capital stock in an amount equal to at least 0.20% of total assets plus 4.50% of any outstanding advances.

As a member of the Federal Reserve Bank (the “FRB”), the Bank is required to own shares of FRB capital stock in an amount equal to 6.0% of total common stock and capital surplus. FHLB stock and FRB stock are carried at cost.

Loans

Loans are carried at their principal amount outstanding less fair value adjustments. Interest income is recorded as earned on an accrual basis. The Bank uses the allowance method in providing for possible loan losses. The Allowance for Loan Losses is based on management’s estimate of the amount needed to maintain the Allowance for Loan Losses at an adequate level to cover known and inherent risk of loss in the loan portfolio. In determining the provision amount, management gives consideration to current and anticipated economic conditions, the growth and composition of the loan portfolio, and the relationship of the Allowance for Loan Losses to outstanding loans, among other factors. Loan origination fees, net of origination costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment to the yield (interest income) of the related loans.

Management believes that the Allowance for Loan Losses is adequate. While management uses the best information available to make evaluations, future adjustments may be necessary if economic and other conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used.

In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank’s Allowance for Loan Losses. Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize additions to the Allowance for Loan Losses based on their judgments of information available to them at the time of their examination.

Management considers loans to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors that influence management’s judgments include, but are not limited to, loan payment pattern, source of repayment, and value of any collateral. A loan would not be considered impaired if an insignificant delay in loan payment occurs and management expects to collect all amounts due. The major sources for identification of loans to be evaluated for impairment include past due and nonaccrual reports, internally generated lists of certain risk grades, loan review personnel’s analyses, and regulatory examinations. Impaired loans are measured using either the discounted expected cash flow method or the value of collateral method. When the ultimate collectability of an impaired loan’s principal is in doubt, wholly or partially, all cash receipts are applied to principal. At December 31, 2009, the Company had $7,710,500 of impaired loans, or 7.03% of total loans.

Premises, Equipment, and Depreciation

Premises and equipment, including leasehold improvements, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets on a straight-line basis. Leasehold improvements are amortized over a term which includes the remaining lease term and probable renewal periods. It is the Bank’s policy to charge maintenance and repairs to expense as incurred and to capitalize major additions and improvements and depreciate the cost of their estimated useful lives as follows:

 

Building and Improvements

   5 to 40 years

Equipment, Furniture, and Fixtures

   3 to 20 years

Goodwill and Core Deposit and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquired entity over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Similar to goodwill, other intangible assets, which include core deposit intangibles, also lack physical substance but, as required by GAAP, portions of the cost of an acquired entity have been assigned to such assets. The Company accounts for goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with GAAP, which, in general, requires that goodwill not be amortized, but rather that it be tested for impairment at least annually at the reporting unit level, which is either at the same level or one level below an operating segment. Other acquired intangible assets with finite lives, such as core deposit intangibles, are required to be amortized over their estimated lives. Core deposit and other intangible assets are generally amortized using accelerated methods over estimated useful lives of five to ten years. As of December 31, 2009, the core deposit intangible subject to amortization for a period of 10 years totals $1,240,000. The Company periodically assesses whether events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of core deposit and other intangible assets may be impaired.

Accounting for the Merger

The Merger of Xenith Corporation and First Bankshares is treated as a reverse acquisition for accounting purposes. Therefore, the Merger is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, and accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of First Bankshares will be recognized at fair value on the date of the Merger, with Xenith Corporation being treated as the acquirer.

In a reverse acquisition, fair value of the consideration transferred is based on the number of shares Xenith Corporation would have had to issue to give the owners of First Bankshares the same percentage equity interest in the combined entity that resulted from the Merger. Cash consideration is also included. The Merger Agreement provided for consideration of $9.23 per share paid in cash based on elections by the First Bankshares shareholders, subject to pro-ration since aggregate cash elections exceeded 25% of shares outstanding (the maximum allowed per the Merger Agreement) immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger.

As a result of the Merger, owners of Xenith Corporation as of the Merger date own 73.2% of Xenith Bankshares, and owners of First Bankshares as of the Merger date own the remaining 26.8% of Xenith Bankshares.

A reconciliation of the excess consideration paid by Xenith Corporation over First Bankshares’ net assets acquired (“Goodwill”) is as follows:

 

Costs to acquire First Bankshares:

  

Issuance of Xenith Corporation common stock

   $ 15,758,196

     11,579,573   
        

Total Goodwill

   $ 9,430,427   
        

Xenith Corporation and First Bankshares decided to merge because of the shared belief that the combination of the two companies would create an institution uniquely positioned to compete with the larger, more established super-regional and national banks, as well as the smaller, locally-managed community banks throughout eastern, central and northern Virginia. The resulting Goodwill effectively represents the synergies expected to be realized through the Merger.

Intangible Assets on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2009 are comprised of Goodwill (calculated above) and the Core Deposit Intangible (referenced above). The Core Deposit Intangible is amortized for book and tax purposes over the expected life of the underlying deposits. Goodwill is not amortized for book or tax purposes. All Intangible Assets are reviewed at least annually for potential impairment.

Income Taxes

The Company computes its income taxes in accordance with the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under Topic 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements’ carrying amount of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered in income. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance until it is probable that these tax benefits will be realized.

Comprehensive Income

ASC Topic 220, “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” establishes standards for reporting and presentation of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general purpose financial statements. Topic 220 was issued to address concerns over the practice of reporting elements of comprehensive income directly in equity. In accordance with the provisions of the Topic 220, the Company has included in the accompanying financial statements comprehensive income resulting from such activities. Comprehensive income consists of the net income and net unrealized gains (losses) on securities available for sale.

These amounts are reported net of the income tax benefit (expense) less any related allowance for realization. Also, accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) is included as a separate disclosure within the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Earnings per Share

Earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding of 2,364,337 and 2,276,298 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The table on page 56, “Basic and Dilutive Income per Share,” reflects earnings per share information.

Advertising

The Bank expenses advertising costs when incurred.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2009 presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported net income (loss).

Stock Options

Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share have been determined as if the Company had accounted for its stock options using the fair value method, as presented below for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.

The following is a summary of the basic and diluted income (loss) per share calculation for the period of January 1, 2009 through December 22, 2009 and for the year ended December 31, 2008. The loss per share as of the period ended December 22, 2009 does not involve the 94,493 stock options and 563,760 stock warrants, which are potential common stock equivalents, because the effective is anti-dilutive. For the year ended December 31, 2008 the 94,493 stock options are not included as potential common stock equivalents because the exercise price for the stock options was higher than the market price for the Company’s common stock.

Xenith Bank [In Organization] at December 31, 2008

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Business and Principles of Consolidation

Xenith Bank [In Organization] (“Xenith”), is a bank in organization, headquartered in Richmond, Virginia. Xenith plans to be a Virginia state bank and operate as a full service commercial bank, specifically targeting the financial needs of middle market corporations, emerging growth companies, real estate developers and investors, and the principals of these companies, as well as affluent families. It plans to offer a wide array of financial products and services to its targeted customer base by using a team of experienced bankers with significant experience in the Mid-Atlantic region.

On February 19, 2008, CCB Organizing Group, LLC (“Organizing Group”) was formed for the purpose of forming a Virginia state bank. The Organizing Group was funded primarily through equity contributions by BankCap Partners Fund I, L.P (“BankCap Partners”).

On June 9, 2008, Xenith was incorporated as a Virginia banking corporation in organization with no shareholders. Pursuant to an Assignment, Transfer, and Assumption Agreement dated June 30, 2008, the Organizing Group conveyed to Xenith a full interest in its assets and the assumption of its liabilities. Since Xenith and Organizing Group were entities under common control, this combination was accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling-of-interest in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations.

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In preparing the financial statements, Management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Previously reported amounts in the statement of cash flows have been reclassified. The impact of the change increased net cash used in operating activities and decreased net cash used in investing activities by $1,023,563.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash represents FDIC-insured bank balances. Generally, cash and cash equivalents have maturities of three months or less, and accordingly, the carrying amount of these instruments is deemed to be a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Premises and Equipment

Premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. For leasehold improvements, depreciation is computed using the straight line method over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the improvement or lease term. Major additions and improvements are treated as additions to the asset accounts while maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the useful lives of the assets are treated as expenses as incurred. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any gain or loss is reflected in the results of operations for the period.

Operating Leases

Xenith has operating leases for its four office locations. The lease agreements for certain locations contain rent escalation clauses, rent holidays, and leasehold improvement allowances. For scheduled rent escalation clauses during the lease terms or for rental payments commencing at a date other than the date of initial occupancy, Xenith records minimum rental expenses on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases in occupancy expense.

Xenith has a liability related to the difference between actual payments and the straight-lining of rent of $436,296, of which $372,830 is recorded in Other Liabilities and $63,466 is recorded in Other Current Liabilities as of December 31, 2008. Other Assets represents lease deposits.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Future tax benefits, such as net operating loss carryforwards, are recognized to the extent that realization

of such benefits is more likely than not. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the assets and liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income tax expense in the period that includes the enactment date.

In the event the future tax consequences of differences between the financial reporting bases and the tax bases of Xenith’s assets and liabilities results in deferred tax assets, an evaluation of the probability of being able to realize the future benefits indicated by such assets is required. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. In assessing the ability to realize the deferred tax assets, Management considers the scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies.

Note 3 - Restrictions of Cash

To comply with Federal Reserve regulations, the Bank is required to maintain certain average cash reserve balances. The daily average cash reserve requirements were $380,970 and $376,470 for the weeks of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

The unrealized gain positions on securities at December 31, 2009 were directly related to interest rate movements, as there is minimal credit risk exposure in these investments. Investment securities with unrealized losses have interest rates that are less than the current interest rate environment and not a result of credit impairment. All securities are investment grade. Management does not consider the unrealized losses to be other than temporary based on volatility of the securities market price. The securities portfolio reflects unrealized losses of $73,066 and includes individual securities with unrealized losses ranging from $1 to $38,700.

Securities were pledged as collateral for Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings and public deposits in 2009 and 2008. The amortized costs of these securities were $20,556,854 and $30,024,948 and the fair values of these pledged securities were $20,664,121 and $30,138,981 as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Xenith Bank [In Organization] as of December 31, 2008

A full valuation allowance was recorded in 2008, since realization of income tax benefits resulting from losses from Inception was uncertain. Therefore, there is no current or deferred income tax provision.

The income tax benefit is less than that computed by applying the federal statutory rate of 34% in 2008, as indicated in the following analysis (in thousands):

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Due to the limited history of Xenith and the subjectivity of the timing of Xenith generating taxable income, Xenith’s valuation allowance totaled $1,105,385 at December 31, 2008.

Xenith’s and Organization Group’s 2008 income tax returns are subject to examination by both U.S. federal and state jurisdictions.

Note 10 - Stock Option Plans

In May 2003, the shareholders of the Bank adopted the 2003 Stock Incentive Plan for directors, officers, and employees. The Board of Directors authorized 137,500 options with an exercise price of $7.27 per share, the fair market price on the date of grant. Options totaling 66,825 shares vested immediately upon grant by the Board. On January 22, 2004, the Board granted 1,375 options, immediately vesting upon grant at an exercise price and fair market value of $9.69 per share. On November 18, 2004, the Board of Directors granted options totaling 58,520 shares which vested immediately upon grant by the Board of Directors. The options were granted at an exercise price of $8.36 on the date of grant which was also the fair market price on the date of the grant. The stock options for two Directors and one employee were forfeited during 2005 due to their resignation. The stock options for seven individuals were forfeited during 2007 due to their resignations. In addition, one Director exercised options during 2007. Stock options prices and shares are reflective of a 5-for-4 stock split in 2004 and an 11-for-10 stock split in 2006.

In connection with the Merger, Xenith Bankshares assumed the Xenith Corporation 2009 Stock Incentive Plan, which was subsequently amended and restated to become the Amended and Restated Xenith Bankshares, Inc. 2009 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2009 Plan”). An aggregate of 258,000 options to purchase shares of Xenith Corporation common stock outstanding at the effective time of the Merger, which had been granted under the Xenith Corporation 2009 Stock Incentive Plan, were converted into an aggregate of 224,460 options to purchase shares of Xenith Corporation common stock based on the Exchange Ratio at an exercise price of $11.49 per share. On December 22, 2009, the Compensation and Governance Committee of the Board of Directors, pursuant to authority delegated to it by the Board of Directors, granted an aggregate of 8,700 options to purchase shares of Xenith Bankshares common stock at an exercise price of $11.49 per share. These options have a 10-year term and will vest in three equal installments on each anniversary of the completion of the Merger.

Xenith Bank [In Organization] as of December 31, 2008

In March 2008, three organizers contributed $100 each to form the Organization Group with an initial capitalization of $300. On June 1, 2008, Xenith executed a Memorandum of Understanding with BankCap Partners, in which BankCap Partners committed to fund up to $5,000,000 of organizational, pre-opening and other expenses related to the filing of regulatory applications, leasing of office space, the retention of key officers and preparing to commence the operations of Xenith. As of December 31, 2008, BankCap Partners had contributed $4,295,100, which is classified as Contributed Capital on the balance sheet. This Contributed Capital will ultimately be converted to shares in Xenith; additionally, BankCap will also receive warrants for its “at risk” funding of Xenith’s start-up expenses. BankCap Partners has committed to contribute approximately $30,600,000 of additional equity upon the commencement of operations of Xenith.

Note 14 - Regulatory Matters

We are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on our financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, we must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Our capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require us to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total capital and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital to average assets (as defined).

Management believes that we meet all capital adequacy requirements to which we are subject at December 31, 2009 and 2008.

The Company is considered to be well-capitalized under the regulatory definition of a well-capitalized bank. To be categorized as well-capitalized, the Company must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the following table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed our category.

The Bank’s actual regulatory capital amounts and ratios for December 31, 2009 and 2008 are also presented in the table below. Dollar amounts are in thousands.

Note 15 - Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, there are outstanding off-balance sheet commitments related to extension of credit which are not reflected in the financial statements. These commitments represent no more than the normal lending risk that we commit to our borrowers. If these commitments are drawn, we will obtain collateral as deemed necessary based on management’s credit evaluation of the borrower.

Management believes that these commitments can be funded through normal operations.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

Note 16 - Concentration of Credit Risk

The Bank has a diversified loan portfolio consisting of commercial, real estate, and consumer (installment) loans. Our customers are primarily residents of or operate business ventures in our market area. At December 31, 2009, loans for commercial and business purposes, including working capital and equipment, represented $85,373,187, or 77.86% of total loans, while loans secured by residential real estate located beyond or within our immediate market represented $22,661,679, or 20.66% of total loans. Therefore, a major factor in determining debtors’ ability to honor contracts, as well as the Bank’s ability to realize the value of any underlying collateral, is influenced by economic conditions in these market areas.

The Bank has purchased loans from other banks (participation loans) that include hotel loans. Hotel loans are identified as a concentration of credit as it relates to the percentage of total outstanding loans. Hotel loans at December 31, 2009 represented $16,157,571, or 15.83% of the loan portfolio.

The Bank maintains its cash balances with several financial institutions. As of October 2009, these accounts are insured by the FDIC up to $250,000. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Bank had $724 and $856, respectively, of uninsured funds in these financial institutions.

Note 17 - Supplemental Cash Flow Information

The Bank paid $4,663,242 and $5,578,074 in interest for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company paid Federal income taxes of $284,407 and $435,000, respectively.

Note 18 - Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC Topic 825, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” requires the Company to disclose estimated fair values of its financial instruments.

Accrued Interest

The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.

Deposits

The balance of demand deposits, NOW accounts, and money market and savings deposits reflects the fair value payable on demand to the accountholder. Management believes the purchase of an independent evaluation software model to determine the fair value estimates of fixed-maturity time deposits and certificates of deposit is not cost effective at this time.

Commitments to Extend Credit and Standby Letters of Credit

The only amounts recorded for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are the deferred fees arising from these unrecognized financial instruments. These deferred fees are not deemed significant at December 31, 2009 and 2008 and as such, the related fair values have not been estimated.

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time and based on relevant market information, as well as information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

Fair value estimates are based on existing on- and off-balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. Significant assets that are not considered financial assets include deferred tax assets, premises and equipment, and other real estate owned. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in the estimates.

Note 20 - Disclosures about Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

The Company measures fair value pursuant with ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, which provides a framework for measuring fair value under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The topic defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The topic also addresses the valuation techniques used to measure fair value. These valuation techniques include the market approach, income approach and cost approach. The market approach uses prices or relevant information generated by market transactions that are identical to or comparable with assets or liabilities being valued. The income approach involves converting future amounts based on current market expectations about those future amounts to a single present amount. The cost approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset.

ASC Topic 820 of the Codification establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The reported fair value of a financial instrument is categorized within the fair value hierarchy based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the instrument’s fair value measurement. The three levels within the fair value hierarchy consist of the following:

  Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

  Level 2 Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in active markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

  Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis and recognized in the accompanying balance sheet, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

Available-for-Sale Securities

Securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy where quoted market prices are available in an active market. Level 1 securities include highly liquid government bonds, mortgage products, and exchange-traded equities. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flows. Level 2 securities include U.S. agency securities; mortgage-backed agency securities; obligations of states and political subdivisions; and certain corporate, asset-backed, and other securities. In certain cases where Level 1 or Level 2 inputs are not available, securities are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy. Currently, all of the Company’s securities are considered to be Level 2 securities. Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and recognized in the accompanying balance sheet, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

Impaired Loans

Loan impairment is reported when full payment under the loan terms is not expected. Impaired loans are carried at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or the fair value of collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. A portion of the Allowance for Loan Losses is allocated to impaired loans if the value of such loans is deemed to be less than the unpaid balance. If these allocations cause the Allowance for Loan Losses to increase, such increases are reported as a component of the provision for loan losses. Loan losses are charged against the Allowance for Loan Losses when Management believes the uncollectability of a loan is confirmed. At December 31, 2009, the Bank had

$7,710,500 of impaired loans, or 7.54% of total loans, compared to $676,566 in impaired loans, or 0.58% of total loans, at December 31, 2008. It is the opinion of management that the Allowance for Loan Losses is adequate to absorb any loss related to these loans. The valuation would be considered Level 3.

Note 21 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On July 1, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued the FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM (the “Codification”) to become the single official source of authoritative, nongovernmental U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), except for rules and interpretive releases of the SEC, which are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Codification did not change GAAP but reorganizes the literature using a consistent structure organized by topic, subtopic, section and paragraph, each of which is identified by a numerical designation. As the Codification was not intended to change or alter existing GAAP, it did not impact the consolidated financial statements. However, the Company ceased using prior GAAP references and is using the new Codification when referring to GAAP in these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

New accounting guidance issued after the effective date of the Codification will be issued in the form of Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”). ASUs will not be considered authoritative in their own right, but instead will serve to update the Codification.

In September 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-12, Fair Values and Measurements Topic – Investments in Certain Entities that Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or its Equivalent) (“ASU 2009-12”), which provides additional guidance on how the fair value of alternative investments such as private equity investments should be estimated and requires additional disclosures of the investment’s attributes. Under the updated guidance, the fair value of investments within its scope can be determined using the investment’s net asset value per share or its equivalent. The Company elected to early adopt ASU 2009-12 as of September 30, 2009, as permitted. The impact of adoption was not significant. See Note 18 – Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments for more information regarding the attributes of the Company’s private equity investments.

In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140 and SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), which were subsequently codified by ASU 2009-16 in the Transfers and Servicing Topic and by ASU 2009-17 in the Consolidations Topic. Changes to the Transfers and Servicing Topic eliminate the concept of a QSPE, change the requirements for derecognizing financial assets, and require additional disclosures regarding an entity’s continuing involvement in and exposure to risks related to transferred financial assets. The changes to the Consolidations Topic replace the quantitative approach previously required for determining which enterprise should consolidate a variable interest entity with a consolidation approach focused on which enterprise has the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity and the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity. The updated Consolidations Topic also requires ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, and eliminates an exception indicating that a troubled debt restructuring, as defined by the Debt Topic of the Codification, is not an event that required reconsideration of whether an entity is a variable interest entity and whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. The changes to the Transfers and Servicing Topic and the Consolidations Topic are effective for the Company on January 1, 2010.

In February 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, The Consolidation Topic, Amendments to Statement 167 for Certain Investment Funds, that would defer the effective date of ASU 2009-17 for certain entities and provide for other amendments to The Consolidation Topic.

The adoption of ASU 2009-16 and ASU 2009-17, including its amendment, did not have a material impact on the financial statements and related disclosures.

In May 2009, the FASB issued the Subsequent Events Topic of the Codification, which sets forth general standards for potential recognition or disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial

statements are issued or are available to be issued. This topic became effective in the second quarter of 2009 and did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued additional application guidance and required enhanced disclosures regarding fair value measurements and impairments of investment securities. Additional application guidance included in the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the Codification relates to estimating fair value, when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have decreased significantly and for identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. Application guidance included in the Investments—Debt and Equity Securities Topic of the Codification amended previous other-than-temporary impairment guidance in GAAP for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. No amendments were made related to the recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities. As permitted, the Company elected to early adopt this application guidance as of January 1, 2009. This topic did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Enhanced disclosures related to the Financial Instruments Topic of the Codification require disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments in interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. These disclosure provisions were effective for the Company’s quarter ended June 30, 2009. See Note 18 – Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments for information regarding the fair value of financial instruments.

On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted updated accounting and reporting guidance under the Consolidation Topic of the Codification for ownership interests in consolidated subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, previously known as minority interests and now known as noncontrolling interests, including the accounting treatment upon the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. The updated accounting and reporting guidance clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as a separate component within total equity in the consolidated financial statements. Additionally, consolidated net income is now reported with separate disclosure of the amounts attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interests. This topic did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Note 22 - Short Term Borrowings

At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Bank had federal funds purchased of $1,552,000 and $0 and short term FHLB borrowings of $4,700,000 and $16,000,000, respectively. Interest on federal funds purchased is paid on a daily basis. Interest only is payable on a monthly basis on FHLB borrowings until their maturity. The following table summarizes federal funds purchased and FHLB borrowings for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008:

Note 23 - Long Term Borrowings

At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Bank had long term borrowings from the FHLB totaling $25,000,000 and $20,000,000, respectively. Interest is payable on a monthly basis on fixed-rate borrowings and on a quarterly basis on convertible borrowings until maturity. Maturities of FHLB borrowings at December 31, 2009 are as follows:

Item 9A(T) - Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures that is designed to ensure that material information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As required, management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that the Company files or submits pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

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

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed 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.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in “Internal Control – Integrated Framework.” Based on this assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2009, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s assessment in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Controls

No changes in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the year ended December 31, 2009 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
