Section 2 – Financial Information

Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

For Immediate Release March 2, 2012

     Robert F. Baronner Jr., President and CEO of Potomac Bancshares, Inc., announced the following fourth quarter and full year 2011 unaudited results for Potomac Bancshares, Inc., the one bank holding company for Bank of Charles Town located in Charles Town, West Virginia.

     For the fourth quarter ended 12/31/11, Potomac Bancshares, Inc. generated net income of 11 cents per basic and diluted share which is 1 cent shy of the net income generated per share for the fourth quarter of 2010. For the twelve months ended 12/31/11, total net loss was $1.01 Million compared to net income of $1.79 Million for the twelve months ended 12/31/10. Basic and diluted loss per share for the year ended 12/31/11, was 30 cents compared to earnings in 2010 of 53 cents per basic and diluted share.

     Contributing to the net loss for 2011 compared to 2010 was an increase in the loan loss provision of $1.7 million and increased costs associated with foreclosed properties of $2.6 million. As previously communicated to our shareholders, the charges primarily occurred in the third quarter of 2011.

     For 2011, the bank was able to maintain a fairly strong non-interest income level of $4.4 million and net interest income of $9.7 million which is consistent with the previous two years.

     Both Tier One Leverage Capital and Total Risked Based Capital levels in 2011 decreased from 2010 levels as evidenced by the table below. The decrease is the result of the net loss in 2011. Given the previous mentioned charges to earnings and its effect on capital we will not pay a dividend this quarter. Note that the bank continues to maintain its well capitalized status even after taking these charges to earnings. Once credit conditions begin to improve, then at that time we would expect improved profitability.
