CENTRAL VIRGINIA BANKSHARES REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2011 FINANCIAL RESULTS
POWHATAN, VA – November 8, 2011 /PR Newswire-FirstCall/ Central Virginia Bankshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: CVBK) and Central Virginia Bank announced that the Company recorded net income of $307 thousand for the third quarter of 2011, and after the effect of unpaid preferred stock dividends of $161 thousand, net income available to common shareholders totaled $146 thousand or $0.06 per basic share and $0.05 per diluted share. This compares to the third quarter 2010 net loss of $12.1 million, and after the effect of unpaid preferred stock dividends of $161 thousand, a net loss available to common shareholders of $12.3 million or $(4.69) per basic and diluted share. During the third quarter of 2010, the Company established a deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $12.1 million, which is reflected in the net income results for the quarter ended September 30, 2010.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company recorded net income of $658 thousand, and after the effect of the unpaid preferred stock dividends of $481 thousand, net income available to common shareholders totaled $177 thousand or $0.07 per basic and diluted share.

Herb Marth, President and Chief Executive Officer of Central Virginia Bank commented that “Our results continued the positive financial performance of the first half of the year. Through the implementation of our strategic goals, we have improved the quality of our loan and investment portfolios, built earnings and increased our regulatory capital. We have responded quickly to recent actions of the Federal Reserve which have negatively impacted our interest margin. Additionally, we were able to take advantage of opportunities in the bond market to recognize gains in our investment portfolio. While the current economic environment remains very challenging, we continue to focus on providing the high level of service our customers have come to expect of their bank.”
Balance Sheet
During the first nine months of 2011, the Company has continued with its strategy of shrinking the balance sheet, investing in securities with low credit risk and thereby improving the regulatory risk adjusted capital position. The Bank has seen its total risk based capital ratio improve to 9.4 % at September 30, 2011 from 8.3% at September 30, 2010. Average total assets were $402.9 million for the third quarter of 2011, a decline of $37.6 million or 9 percent compared to $440.5 million for the third quarter of 2010.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income for the third quarter of 2011 was $2.5 million compared to $3.2 million for the third quarter of 2010. The decline in net interest income was due to the decline of the loan portfolio and decline of the average yield on the investment portfolio, partially offset by the continuing low interest rate environment which favorably affects the cost of deposits. Net interest margin for the third quarter of 2011 was 2.68 percent, compared to 3.25 percent for the third quarter of 2010. Interest income for the third quarter of 2011 was $4.1 million compared to $5.3 million for the third quarter of 2010, a decline of 23 percent. Interest expense for the third quarter of 2011 was $1.6 million compared to $2.1 million for the third quarter of 2010, a decline of 24 percent. The decline in interest income was due primarily to the decrease in average earning assets of $23.9 million, which was primarily driven by decline of the loan portfolio, and the increase in investment securities that have low credit risk and carry lower interest rates. The decline in interest expense was due to the lower interest rates on deposits, and the reduction of certificates of deposits by $36.4 million.

Non-interest income
Total non-interest income for the third quarter of 2011 was $1.5 million, an increase of $611 thousand or 71 percent compared to $859 million for the third quarter of 2010. The increase is due primarily to gain on sales of securities of $789 thousand for the third quarter of 2011, an increase of $743 thousand compared to the third quarter of 2010. The Company was able to record additional gains during the third quarter due to fluctuations in the bond market.
This improvement was offset by declines of $56 thousand and $74 thousand related to deposit fees and charges, and other service charges, commissions and fees, respectively. Deposit fees and other services charges are impacted by the changes relating to overdraft rules for debit and ATM cards effective during the third quarter of 2010 and the elimination of the mortgage lending platform effective January 1, 2011.
Non-interest expense
Total non-interest expense for the third quarter of 2011 was $3.0 million, a decrease of $602 thousand or 17 percent compared to $3.6 million for the third quarter of 2010. The decrease is due primarily to the following:
| · | Salaries and benefits were $1.3 million for the third quarter of 2011, a decrease of $27 thousand compared to the third quarter of 2010. |
| · | FDIC insurance expense was $225 thousand for the third quarter of 2011, a decrease of $122 thousand compared to the third quarter of 2010. |
| · | Legal, professional and consulting fees were $210 thousand for the third quarter of 2011, a decrease of $254 thousand compared to the third quarter of 2010. |
| · | OREO provision required for the third quarter of 2011 was $107 thousand, a decrease of $126 thousand compared to the third quarter of 2010. |
The Company continues to manage all expense categories to identify opportunities where savings may be recognized. Reducing expenses will improve current and benefit future periods and is consistent with the goal of improving the Company’s efficiency ratio. The Company’s efficiency ratio for the third quarter of 2011 was 75.6 percent compared to 88.2 percent for the third quarter of 2010.
Asset Quality
Total non-performing assets at the end of the third quarter were $41.7 million, a decrease of $362 thousand compared to $42.1 million at June 30, 2011 and an increase of $9.5 million compared to $32.2 million at September 30, 2010. Total non-performing assets in the third quarter 2011 decreased from June 30, 2011 by 1%
and increased from September 30, 2010 by 30%. The change from September 30, 2010 to September 30, 2011 resulted primarily from a $5.7 million increase in restructured loans that are in compliance with their modified terms, as well as a $3.2 million increase in other real estate owned and a $1.8 million increase in other non-performing assets. At September 30, 2010, the Company did not have any restructured loans. The Company continues to focus on managing the loan portfolio and non-performing assets. The reserve for loan losses was $9.9 million or 4.2 percent of loans at September 30, 2011, compared to $9.9 million or 4.1 percent of loans at June 30, 2011 and $10.5 million or 3.9 percent of loans at September 30, 2010.
At the end of the third quarter of 2011, the Bank’s tier 1 risk-based capital ratio and leverage ratio remain above levels to be “well capitalized” and the total risk based capital ratio remains above the level to be “adequately capitalized”.
