GLEN ALLEN, Va., Nov. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- First Capital Bancorp, Inc.
(the "Company") (Nasdaq: FCVA) (the bank holding company for First Capital
Bank) announced today net income of $405 thousand or $.09 per diluted share
for the three months ending September 30, 2009, this compared to a net loss of
$463 thousand or ($.16) for the same period in 2008. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 the company reported a net loss of $224 thousand which
included $277 thousand of merger related costs and a one time FDIC special
assessment of approximately $226 thousand. Absent those one time expenses
the company would have had net profit of approximately $185 thousand in the
nine month period even in light of a net increase of over $1.2 million to the
Allowance for Loan Losses year to date. This compares to a net income of $338
thousand or $.11 per share for the same period in 2008.

The company's loan portfolio continues to perform well. At September 30, 2009
the company had approximately $376 thousand of loans past due 30 - 89 days
representing .095% of the total portfolio, approximately $7.3 million of
nonperforming loans (approximately $5.4 million were restructured loans now
making interest payments) and approximately $2.6 million of Other Real Estate
Owned. However, due to the uncertain economic environment the company
continues to take a cautious stance regarding its loan portfolio.

The provision for loan losses was $380 thousand for the three months ended
September 30, 2009 compared to $1.4 million for the same period in 2008. The
provision for loan losses was $1.7 million for the first nine months of 2009
compared to $2.0 million for the same period last year.

The Allowance for Loan Losses totals $6.3 million at September 30, 2009 or
1.60% of total loans. This compares to $4.4 million or 1.25% of total loans
at September 30, 2008.

First Capital Bank President and CEO Bob Watts, noted, "I am extremely pleased
by our quarter and year to date results. The bank was profitable for the
quarter and outside of merger expenses and FDIC special assessments, the bank
would have been profitable for the first nine months of 2009 as it was in
2008. This is in light of loan loss provisions of $1.7 million in the same
time period." While the bank has only incurred year to date net charge-offs
of $425 thousand and nonperforming assets total $9.9 million which represent
2.50% percent of the loan portfolio at the end of the quarter, the current
economic conditions dictate extreme caution, and have affected the underlying
reserve calculations.

Total assets at September 30, 2009 were $511 million, up $91 million, or
21.7%, from the same period in 2008. Total loans increased $42 million to
$390 million, up 12.1% from the same period in 2008. Deposits increased $81
million to $404 million, up 25.0% from the same period in 2008. The strong
deposit growth was a strategic initiative of the Bank.

The Company's capital position remains strong as Stockholders Equity increased
$11.8 million, up 34.1% from September 30, 2008, most of which was a result of
the company participating in the Government's Troubled Asset Relief Program
which added $10.9 in preferred stock to the company's Stockholders Equity. At
September 30, 2009, the Company exceeded all regulatory capital requirements,
with total Risk Based Capital 14.26% (10% qualifies banks as "well
capitalized" by regulatory standards), Tier one capital of 12.52% and tangible
common equity of 6.93%.

Net interest income increased 17.37% to $3.3 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2009 compared to $2.8 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2008. Net interest income increased $397 thousand to $8.8
million or 5% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009. The
increase in quarter over quarter net interest income was due to an increase in
loan portfolio yields of approximately 7 basis points and a decrease in total
funding costs of approximately 80 basis points.

The Net Interest Margin improved to 2.71% for the quarter ended September 30,
2009 from 2.51% at June 30, 2009. The Net Interest Margin was 2.88% for the
quarter ended September 30, 2008. Net Interest Margin was negatively impacted
by the Company's purposeful strong cash position of approximately $27 million
in average balances for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

"In 2009 we have been focused on four areas of our company, Liquidity,
Capital, Funding Costs, and adequacy of the Allowance for Loans Losses. I am
very pleased with our accomplishments to date. We have grown our deposit
base, lowered our costs of funds, increased our capital and positioned the
balance sheet for future success, all the while increasing our level of loan
loss reserve to reflect the environment we live in today," said John Presley,
Managing Director and CEO of the First Capital Bancorp, Inc.

Noninterest expense increased $244 thousand or 10.6% for the three months
ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008 and $1.6
million or 25% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The majority of
the increase can be attributed to three areas, one is attributable to the
expanded branch franchise and the key additions to the lending and management
team as Salaries and Employee benefits increased by $372 thousand for the nine
month period ending September 30, 2009. Secondly we incurred $226 thousand in
merger expenses associated with our proposed merger with Eastern Virginia
Bankshares. And lastly, year over year increases in FDIC insurance totaled
$691 thousand through the first nine months of 2009.

The Company currently operates seven branches in Innsbrook, Chesterfield Towne
Center, near Willow Lawn on Staples Mill Road, in Ashland, at Three Chopt and
Patterson in Henrico County, at the James Center in downtown, Richmond, and
our newest branch in Bon Air, Chesterfield County.
