         Virginia Commerce Bancorp, Inc. reported today that its nonperforming
assets at June 30, 2003 were $1.482 million, instead of the $607 thousand
previously reported. The understatement of nonperforming assets was due to a
nonperforming $875 thousand loan being incorrectly reported as having repaid as
a result of full collection of past due interest and agreement by the Company to
new loan terms. The Company has since determined that the loan, the terms of
which were modified, is more appropriately reported as a "troubled debt
restructuring" under the guidance of FAS 114. The loan is currently performing
in accordance with the modified terms. The correction had no effect on the
Company's earnings, provision for loan losses, charge-offs or returns on average
assets or equity for any period. The following table sets forth corrected asset
quality information as of June 30, 2003.
